Xingcheng, on the side facing the street near the East City Gate, a three-story restaurant called Xianju has the most delicious grilled fish in Xingcheng, red dragon carp.
It is said that this red dragon carp grows at the bottom of the Yahe River. It is alert by nature and has great strength. It is the lowest level monster and is extremely difficult to catch. It can only be obtained when floating in the water at night.
But also because of the physical benefits it can bring to people as a low-level monster, it has always been sought after by dignitaries. However, because it is too rare, ordinary nobles and rich people can only eat a red dragon carp. It all depends on fate. When I find out when the new fish will arrive in Xianju, I rush over in a hurry. If I'm lucky, I might be able to grab one.
But people who stand at the top of power are different. Just like Meng Jiaoyang, the prefect of Yongchang, who has to eat one or two red dragon carps every time in Linxing City. Naturally, he will not wait. As the boss of Xianju, he will In order to meet the possible needs of the prefect's palace, he will keep two or three dogs all year round to prepare for emergencies.
Now, Xingcheng has been selected as the site of the Annan Conference. As soon as Xianju received the news, it began to purchase red dragon carp at a high price. For this reason, countless fishermen and people went fishing in small boats late at night. The risks involved are difficult. humane.
On this day, the upper and lower floors of Xianju were occupied, and there was only one table of guests.
If this were normal, it would be impossible for the Young Master of Yongchang County to come in person, but today's guest could not help but have the slightest complaint, because before the guest arrived, the palace attendant from the Summer Palace came three times in a row to give instructions to the immortal. The owner of the hotel must serve this noble man well.
Because this person is Luochuan, the prefect of Li County.
There were not many people in Luochuan. Apart from Li Jun Qingqi who was guarding the outside, the only people who followed him into the store were Siqi and Ying.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, the boss of Xianju and a group of male and female waiters stood in a row and knelt down to salute and shouted "Meet the prefect".
Luochuan just said "get up", then passed by them and walked towards a girl dressed in men's clothing in the hall, "The guests have arrived?"
The girl disguised as a man was in the language of flowers. When she heard this, she nodded and said, "We're already here, waiting on the third floor." As she said this, she naturally followed Luo Chuan half a step behind, walking side by side with Siqi. She was originally following Luo Chuan. The shadow next to Chuan disappeared in an instant, and he didn't know where he was going.
Hua Yu looked around and whispered into Luo Chuan's ear, "Last night we spread some very serious opinions. This morning, Miss Zhong found me at the Summer Palace Market. She was filled with righteous indignation and was very cute. ."
Luochuan hummed and went straight upstairs. When he got to the third floor, he saw an exquisite girl standing beside the only table next to the window. She was wearing a rather plain yellow dress today, with pearl lop ears and emerald ears. Weichai, who was as tender as jade and had a smile like a flower, put her hands behind her back when she saw Luo Chuan, leaned her upper body slightly forward and said, "Finally, you asked me to meet openly?"
Luo Chuan was stunned by such a straightforward and intimate question. He couldn't say the polite words he originally wanted to say. He smiled like an old friend and said, "Miss Zhong should have heard about it. I am now Bad luck keeps happening, unexpected things happen one after another, and it’s easy to find some relief.”
The exquisite girl probably had a familiar temperament. After hearing this, she said, "I have no time during the day, but I am always free at night." Seeing that Luo Chuan was somewhat embarrassed, she stopped saying more and greeted him familiarly. Chu Huayu and Siqi sat down together, pointed to a huge copper plate that was being heated in the center of the table and said, "You don't know, I sat here and waited for a while, just smelling the smell coming from the copper plate. I’m so greedy.”
Si Qi looked at the copper plate, while Hua Yu covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's thanks to Miss Zhong that we can eat such a rare delicacy today."
The exquisite girl was a little shy after being told that. She glanced at Luo Chuan and said, "How can I take advantage of you? After all, it is your prefect who is treating me."
Seeing that the three girls were familiar to each other, Luo Chuan did not interrupt. He waved to the waiters waiting by the stairs not far away, and hot and cold dishes that matched the red dragon carp on the copper plate were brought out one after another. .
"After what you said, I am also somewhat interested in this red dragon carp. Let's give it a try," Luo Chuan said, reaching out to lift the lid of the copper plate, and saw a two-foot long carp in it. There are plenty of crimson carps and various side dishes dotted among them. It is a pleasure to look at and smell it. "It should be good."
Seeing Luo Chuan use the chopsticks first, the three girls in Huayu eagerly picked up a piece of fish.
The exquisite girl only took one bite before her eyes widened and she said, "Oh! This fish meat still contains traces of true energy. It's incredible."
Luo Chuan nodded and picked up some chopsticks to garnish with the dishes, "It's not all the fault of the fish. The garnishes are also all middle and low-level spiritual herbs and elixirs, so they have a ray of flavor besides the meal." It smells like medicinal herbs, but the chef still has some skills, and the combination is really excellent."
Siqi nodded, gradually became less restrained, and then ate a little boldly.
Luo Chuan smiled when he saw this and didn't say anything to her. Instead, he poured himself a glass of wine and brought it to his lips, and asked casually, "Miss Zhong, I invited you to the banquet today, have you told your parents? "
"As I said," the exquisite girl ate from the bowl while staring at the plate. A girl who was born to practice spiritual practice looked like a common child who hadn't eaten in several days. "Since you invited me openly and honestly, , there’s nothing I dare not say.”
"I'm just worried about my reputation in the mountain now," Luo Chuan said with a bitter smile, "It's really not good to hear."
"What do they care about?" The exquisite girl looked up at him, "My father will not listen to what those people say nonsense, especially the rumors spread by those people now. It is said that you, the dignified Grand Administrator of Li County, beat Nanyi several times. A man who returned to his hometown colluded with monsters? No one with any sense would believe it."
She lowered her head and continued to cook, mumbling, "If you ask me, they are just jealous, so ignore them."
Luo Chuan looked at the clean girl in front of him and suddenly lost all the thoughts he had before coming here. He drank the wine in one gulp and then refilled it for himself. He poured the wine without looking at anyone and asked, " Miss Zhong, does she know that Luo asked you to come here today...for what reason...?"
Hearing this, Si Qi raised his head and glanced at Luo Chuan.
Hua Yu just smiled more and ate her food more ladylikely.
The exquisite girl raised her head and glanced at Luo Chuan in surprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to fish?"
"Of course I'm going to treat you to fish," Luo Chuan rubbed his fingers on the edge of the wine glass a few times. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "In addition to treating you to fish, did you know... I also have Why do I need to see you?"
