Acai's Sky

Chapter 298: Seaside Trip (2)…

At this moment, the sun shines on the sparkling sea, and the sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of salty scent.

Lord Lin sat leisurely on the reef, humming a light tune, his eyes fixed on the sea, hoping that the fish would take the bait.

However, at this moment, Li Kai couldn't help but interrupt the Marquis's untuneable humming:

"My Lord, you know you need to be quiet when fishing. If you sing so loudly, the fish will be scared away..."

Upon hearing this, Lord Lin just glanced at him indifferently. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he sang even louder.

"Toward the cloud~"

His high-pitched voice echoed on the seashore, as if it could penetrate the sky.

"Over the mountain~"

This sentence made the air around them seem to vibrate.

"In the sea~"

The singing rises and falls with the waves, seeming a little strange but full of unique charm.

"Which direction should I go in the real world~"

The Marquis was immersed in his own world, completely disregarding the feelings of others.

"Before sunset~"

His voice became more and more passionate, as if he wanted to vent all the emotions in his heart.

"The wind is coming~"

At this moment, even the seagulls in the distance were attracted and circled in the air, looking at this unique marquis with curiosity.

"I'm sitting cross-legged on the reef~"

When the last note fell, Lord Lin clapped his hands in satisfaction, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

But Li Kai interrupted again with a helpless look on his face: "My Lord, why don't you learn the gentle and graceful tunes of Miss Awu instead of the bold and unrestrained style of Miss Acai..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a dozen guards sitting on the reef behind him covering their mouths, trying hard to restrain their laughter, but their shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, and it was obvious that they were having a hard time holding back their laughter.

Seeing this, Li Kai continued to tease, "My Lord, you sing so loudly, and completely out of tune. I'm afraid the fish will be scared and run away like crazy when they hear your singing..."

Hearing this, Lord Lin's eyes widened immediately, and he glared at Li Kai and said, "You are getting more and more daring, kid! I won't bother with you about this.

Ah Wu's singing is indeed beautiful, but that is her style. I have my own unique style. You know nothing!"

After saying that, he turned his head back again, focusing on the sea, waiting for the fish to take the bait, leaving Li Kai standing there, feeling both amused and helpless.

Oh my god, I can’t give any comments, the more I sing, the more excited I become!

...

While waiting, Lord Lin sipped his tea and watched the gentle breeze and light clouds in the sky.

At this time, the float on the fishing rod moved violently, pulling the fishing rod into the depths of the sea.

Li Kai took a step forward, grabbed the fishing rod, firmly planted his lower limbs in a horse stance, and held the fishing rod tightly with both hands.

Lord Lin smiled as he watched Li Kai struggling to hold the fishing rod, and called out to the dozen or so guards behind him to come and help.

One pull, one delivery...

More than a dozen people struggled to pull the fish up.

"So big..."

"What's this fish called?"

"These fish must weigh about three hundred pounds, right?"

"No wonder he almost dragged the captain of the guards into the sea..."

Lord Lin looked at the big fish struggling desperately on the reef. To be honest, he had never seen this fish before and didn't know what it was called.

This fish is oblong in shape, nearly two meters long, with flat sides and a round tail fin. Its body is dark brown with a lighter belly. Its head, sides and fins are covered with black spots.

A young guard brought an old fisherman to the reef and pointed at the big fish that was still jumping around and asked.

"What kind of fish is this?"

The old fisherman looked at the big fish jumping around desperately, rubbed his face, and looked incredulous. How could he catch such a big fish while fishing?

"Master, this fish lives in the sea a hundred meters deep. There are generally no fish this big on the seashore. This fish is called 'Giant Grouper'. We have encountered it before, but we have never caught it..."

The old fisherman left in a hurry after receiving the reward.

"Grouper, giant grouper. I've never eaten this fish fresh before. Today, I, the Marquis, invite all of you, my subordinates, to try it."

Lord Lin was grinning from ear to ear, haha, if you see no one like this, then either don’t fish, or if you do, go with the big ones!

……

The atmosphere in the kitchen of Jixiang Inn was extremely lively.

Several experienced chefs surrounded the giant grouper, their faces filled with irrepressible excitement.

They whispered to each other and discussed enthusiastically how to cook this rare behemoth, as if they had already foreseen that it would become a mouth-watering delicacy.

At the same time, in the spacious and bright hall, everyone was sitting in a circle, listening attentively to Lord Lin bragging about his fishing experience with great joy.

Li Kai, who was sitting next to him, covered his face with his hands helplessly, as if he was embarrassed by Lord Lin's exaggerated narration.

Lord Lin glanced triumphantly at Uncle Feng, the steward beside him, and asked arrogantly:

"How's it going? This Marquis has always kept his abilities under wraps, but once he strikes, it's bound to be a truly astonishing feat! Look at this massive fish I caught, weighing a full three hundred pounds. Are you convinced or not?"

Steward Feng Shu quickly nodded with a broad smile on his face and said, "My Lord, you are truly amazing! Such a feat is truly admirable.

It weighed over 300 kilograms! Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about it, let alone pulling such a big fish. Even the fishing rod and fishing line would probably be easily broken.

If you’re not careful, even the fishermen might be dragged into the sea…”

Hearing this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but glare at the housekeeper Uncle Feng fiercely, secretly wondering what the implication of his words was.

Is he jealous that he can catch such a big fish?

Humph, look at his sarcastic expression, he's so sour.

It's clearly a mockery in secret!

Ah Cai, who was sitting nearby, saw this scene and found it extremely amusing.

She couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Asan. This fishing rod was really sturdy. It could even be used to catch whales. It was great!

...

At noon, lunch began.

The grouper that everyone had been waiting for for a long time was finally carefully cooked and turned into more than a dozen mouth-watering delicacies.

Every dish exudes an enticing aroma, making people salivate.

Lord Lin raised his glass with a broad smile and said in a resounding voice, "Come, come, everyone, raise your glasses together and let us celebrate today's bountiful harvest!"

Lord Lin's words were full of joy and pride.

At this time, the chef of the inn also came forward and enthusiastically introduced these exquisite dishes to the guests one by one:

The first thing that catches your eye is the plate of golden, crispy and fragrant giant grouper scales on each table, which look like pieces of precious gold.

Next came the plate of brightly colored and tender stir-fried giant grouper fish, which exuded a rich aroma.

And that bowl of steaming, delicious giant grouper fish ball soup, with the plump and cute fish balls rolling in the clear broth...

Afterwards, the steamed giant grouper head with chopped pepper attracted everyone's attention with its unique flavor. The bright red chopped pepper covered the plump fish head, emitting bursts of spicy aroma.

The steamed giant grouper head retains its original flavor, is tender and juicy, and leaves you with an endless aftertaste.

The pickled giant grouper perfectly blends sour and spicy, bringing a unique taste experience.

The spicy stir-fried giant grouper belly is very spicy and chewy.

The charcoal-grilled giant grouper skin is unique, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious.

Look at that plate of braised giant grouper meat, with rich oil and red sauce, attractive color, and firm and tasty meat.

The steamed giant grouper meat is fresh and elegant, highlighting the deliciousness of the fish itself.

Finally, the pot of rich and mellow giant grouper tail soup and the crystal clear giant grouper bone marrow pearls, like two shining pearls, brought the whole banquet to a perfect end.

There are twelve dishes on each table, a total of twenty tables.

Every guard ate with gusto, and it could be said that they had never tasted such delicious food in their lives...

Ah Cai touched her little belly and hated that her belly was too small and she couldn't eat more.

"Tong Shishan: The ingredients for today's fish were basically provided by us, as was the recipe. The chefs here have basically never cooked such a large fish..."

"Tong Acai: You need to use an axe to chop the fish head open, right?"

"Tong Er: No, we have the kitchen utensils we provide. We can easily scrape away the fish bones and meat with our kitchen utensils..."

"Tong Shiqi: It's the gift box in the Peach Blossom Land that General Wang Li opened. It's kitchen utensils!"

"Tong Acai: I didn't expect this kitchen utensil to be so useful. This gift box from the Peach Blossom Land secret realm has a lot of goodies!"

"Tong Shiqi: That's right. General Wang Li gave us a lot of things we can use, such as carpentry tools, kitchen utensils, and the four treasures of the study..."

"Wang Li: ...That's too much. I'm still in the group!"

『Tong Acai: ……』

"Tong Shiqi: ...I forgot!"

"Tong Er: Is it urgent to kick him out?"
