To Hold One’s Joy

  Is Chapter 204 open?

   Governor Luo almost choked to death on these words.

Why is he here?

   It's time for dinner, of course he came.

  Governor Luo decided to pretend that he didn't hear this sentence, and asked, "Sheng'er, what are you doing?"

   "Boil sour soup."

   "What are you doing making sour soup?" Governor Luo calmly pushed Sheng Sanlang away and moved closer.

  He has observed that San Lang is the kid who eats the most, so squeeze this kid outside first.

   "Xiu Gu is going to make fish brains in sour soup." Luo Sheng said as he stirred the tumbling soup with a long-handled wooden spoon, took a pot-bellied bottle from Hongdou, and poured some more juice into the pot.

   "What is this?" Governor Luo asked curiously.

  He suddenly found that the sour smell became more intense and rich.

   "Water from soaking wild peppers."

  Looking at the bubbling bubbles in the pot, Governor Luo swallowed unconsciously: "Isn't this soup sour and spicy, Qing'er and the others can't eat it?"

   "Eatable!" Luo Yue answered quickly.

   Governor Luo was stunned for a moment, and looked at the two concubines standing side by side.

  Luo Qing blushed and said, "It's edible."

   Governor Luo: "..."

  Luo Sheng said lightly: "The weather is still a bit hot for the journey, so eat some hot and sour appetizers to relieve fatigue."

   "Sheng'er makes sense." Governor Luo then looked at Xiuyue who was working hard.

  Xiuyue also had a pot in front of her, but it was covered with a lid, so she couldn't see what was simmering inside.

   At this moment, Xiuyue lifted the lid of the pot with a white towel.

  A scent rushed straight to everyone's nostrils.

  There are two fish heads cut in half in the pot, and the green onions are floating on the soup surface.

  Xiuyue took out the fish head with a colander and immersed it in cold water. When the fish head was cold enough, she began to remove the fish bones.

   Governor Luo's eyes changed: "Where did the fish come from?"

  Ever since he knew that Sheng'er would bring a chef from a restaurant to Qiushou, he knew that he would have nothing to worry about in Beihe for a month or so.

   But I never expected that I could eat so much on the road.

   Those who don’t see the accompanying people usually have luxurious clothes and fine food. When they are on the road, which one doesn’t eat a big pot of rice?

"Uncle, Xiao Qi and I went down the river to fish when the team was camping." Speaking of this, fearing that uncle would misunderstand him as too greedy, Sheng Sanlang quickly explained, "Nephew originally just wanted to wash his face, but unexpectedly A big fat fish swam past. I thought it would be a pity not to eat such a fat fish, so I—"

  Governor Luo patted Sheng Sanlang on the shoulder heavily, and praised: "Sanlang, you are such a good boy."

   "There is Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi also caught a big fish." Sheng Sanlang pointed to Xiao Qi.

  Luo Dadu took a look at the black-faced boy and nodded approvingly: "Xiao Qi is also a good boy."

  Xiao Qi, who was nervous, let out a sigh of relief, showing a big smile.

   It is said that the Commander of Jinlinwei is particularly terrifying, eating people without blinking an eye. I didn't expect that Governor Luo was quite kind.

  Luo Chen pursed the corners of his lips, and asked Xiuyue coldly: "Xiu Gu, when will it be better?"

  Xiu Gu is a good person, but she has an extra nephew.

   "Soon." Xiuyue was silent in front of outsiders, looked at the tumbling sour soup, took a blue and white sea bowl and put the fish fillets inside into the pot.

  The thin fish fillets can almost see through the light when picked up by long chopsticks.

   Governor Luo stared straight at him.

   Such a thin fish fillet, how delicious it is!

  Luo Sheng said: "I only eat fish brains, the fish body and tail can be used for other purposes, but it's not convenient to go out, so I have to make do with it."

   "If you don't make it, you don't make it." Governor Luo watched Xiuyue fish out the snow-white fish fillets with a colander, and couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth.

  On the long table temporarily moved out, several blue and white bowls were placed in a row.

  Put a spoonful of fish fillets in each bowl, and then put a spoonful of sour soup, which is a bowl of rich and appetizing fish fillets in sour soup.

   "You can eat it."

  Luo Sheng just opened his mouth, and everyone looked eager to try.

   Governor Luo coughed heavily.

   Sheng Sanlang who had already picked up the bowl hurriedly passed the bowl over: "Uncle, you eat."

   Governor Luo reached out to take it, and then he started to eat with satisfaction.

   One of them shared a bowl of fish slices in sour soup, and they quickly ate their fill. They all looked forward to Luo Sheng.

   "Ahem, Shenger, such a bowl of fish soup is not enough." Governor Luo reminded tactfully.

   More than enough, he can eat a pot.

  Luo Sheng smiled: "This pot of fish brains in sour soup is mainly used for noodles."

   "Noodles?" Governor Luo's eyes lit up.

  The noodles are good, and the noodles can satisfy you.

  Governor Luo glanced around, only to find that there was a big basket beside Xiuyue, in which were evenly spread noodles of even width.

  The bowl of fish fillets in sour soup just now can't play the role of padding the stomach at all. The only use is to greatly awaken the appetite.

  As long as he wants to cook such a bowl of noodles with the delicious hot and sour fish soup and eat it steaming, Dudu Luo is so happy that he wants to hum a little song.

  He took Sheng'er to Qiushou, and Sheng'er took the chef.

   Such a day is really happier than a fairy.

  Eating is lively here, and the people who are eating big pot rice can't stand it anymore.

   "Commander Luo, what do they eat?" A nobleman smelled the faint fragrance, and suddenly felt that the steamed buns he was chewing in his mouth were hard to swallow.

   "It seems to be boiled in a pot of sour soup with fish head to cook noodles. I just walked around and heard it from there."

   "Fish head in sour soup?"

   "Yeah, I also saw it. There are fish heads, scallions, and red peppers rolling in the pot, not to mention how fragrant it is."

   "Hiss—the chef from a restaurant made it, right?"

   "That's not true. I've heard that a restaurant has closed down for a long time, and it's because Miss Luo Qiushou wants to bring the chef."

   "Tsk tsk, Miss Luo is really capricious."

  The man sighed: "It's good to be self-willed, otherwise there would be no fish head noodles in sour soup."

  The two of them looked at each other, and for the first time, they felt a little envious of Governor Luo having such a headstrong daughter.

  The scent drifts farther and farther away, and more and more people can't eat.

   It's too much, what kind of enmity does Governor Luo have with them, and he indulged his daughter to take the chef to go hunting in autumn!

  Amidst the resentment that was about to condense into substance, Wei Han walked over with Shi Yi.

   Hongdou, who was holding a bowl of noodles and eating noodles, straightened her eyes, grabbed Luo Sheng's sleeve and said, "Girl, didn't Shi Sanhuo stay at home and take care of Dabai? When did you come?"

  Shi Sanhuo hid it so deep that she never found it.

  Looking at the man approaching, Luo Sheng said calmly: "That's not Shi Yan."

   "Who is that?" Hong Dou was confused.

   "Shi Yan's younger brother Shi Yi."

   "Brother?" Hongdou pointed at the young man who was exactly like Shi Yan, almost dropping her jaw in shock.

   Wei Han turned slightly sideways so that the little maid could point at someone, and strode up to Luo Sheng.

   "What's the matter, my lord?"

   "I want to ask Miss Luo, is the restaurant open?"

Good morning.
