The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Fu Yunxi brought Mu Yibai to the upper reaches of the river and saw that the water was not deep and the riverbed was shallow. They guessed that it was caused by the famine. If another month passed, the weather would be hot and dry, and the river would probably dry up.

"I'll do it, you stay careful." Mu Yibai picked up the branch, stared at the trickling stream, exerted his strength and threw it far away, hitting it with one shot.

Fu Yunxi went forward to take the branch, and found that it was a pomfret bigger than her palm. "This fish is really big." She raised her red lips slightly, and was in a very good mood.

Mu Yibai was greatly encouraged by this and picked up some branches to catch fish. Soon, the shore was full of fish.

"Enough, enough, these fish are enough for our lunch, stop catching any more." Fu Yunxi hurriedly stopped him. She didn't know why this man was obsessed with catching so many fish that he couldn't even finish them for lunch.

Naturally, everyone wanted to go to the river to catch fish. When they saw many fish around Mu Yibai's feet, they also went into the water to catch fish.

Seeing many small fish swimming in the water, Fu Yunxi led some spiritual spring water into the river while no one was paying attention. Suddenly, a large wave of fish came and danced lightly at the spiritual spring, shuttling like the stars in the seabed. She took the opportunity to collect some small fish into the space, because she felt that with the current situation, the riverbed would soon dry up. The big fish could be left for everyone to catch, and the small fish could be kept in the space, otherwise they would have difficulty surviving.

Although this small river at the foot of the mountain is inconspicuous, there are many kinds of fish, including grass carp, bighead carp, pomfret, yellow eel, mandarin fish, silver carp, sea bass, etc.

Fu Yunxi was delighted to see the fish swimming in the stream in space. She thought that they would grow up soon and then there would be an endless supply of fish.

Someone in the big house had already started a fire to roast fish. The aroma spread for miles, making everyone around hungry.

The Chen family and the Wang family are the Minister and Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. Many of their sons have been trained in the army. Although they are not as good as Mu Yibai, they can still catch a few fish.

The Ruan family and the Zhu family are not so good. They can only brag and always hang out with Mu Yiguo. They have no real skills. They watch the fish swimming in the river but cannot catch them at all.

"Wow... Grandma, I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish..." Cai was at her wit's end because of her grandson Mu Yuanzhang's pestering. He had been clamoring for meat these past two days, but there was no way to find meat in this remote wilderness.

"Mu Yiguo, why don't you go and catch fish for Zhang'er? Can't you see that he is crying so hard that he is out of breath!" Cai had no choice but to ask Mu Yiguo to go catch fish.

But how could Mu Yiguo do such a thing?

"You can go if you want. Going to the river to fish is something that country folk do. I won't go. If you want to eat meat, don't you have dried meat? Take it out and have a meal at noon."

"The jerky is almost gone. Why don't you eat it sparingly? How can we have so much?"

Cai was almost mad at herself. She really couldn't get any good results no matter what she did. She had no choice but to turn to her eldest son Mu Yifan and said, "Yifan, we don't have much dry food left, and we don't have any meat. You see Zhang'er keeps crying. Why don't you go to the river and catch some fish? I'll grill them for you."

After hearing this, Mu Yifan reluctantly got up and went to the river, rolled up his pants, and tried to catch fish with his hands, but there were not many fish in the river, and he was clumsy, so he couldn't catch any.

"Mom, all the fish have been caught by the eldest wife. There are no fish in the river anymore."

But the officer on the other side of the river was still fishing. After a while, he picked up a harpoon and found a palm-sized carp on it. The officers escorted prisoners along this route all year round and knew there were fish in the river. They would prepare some professional fishing tools so that they could eat some fresh fish when passing by.

"You see the officers can catch fish, that means there are still fish in the river. Go take another look. We are not in a hurry. The grilled fish smells delicious."

Cai tried to persuade him kindly, and she couldn't bear to scold her son whom she had spoiled since he was a child.

"Mom, if you want to go, go by yourself. Anyway, I didn't see any fish in the river, and the food you cooked is not delicious. I think we should not bother."

Mu Yifan would not listen to his mother's big words. Doesn't he know what his mother's cooking tastes like? On his birthday, the longevity noodles she cooked were all mushy. Who would dare to let her cook?

Cai was helpless. There were grown men fishing in the river, and she, a woman, couldn't go down barefoot as well. That would be so unbecoming. She could only promise her grandson Mu Yuanzhang: "Zhang'er, don't cry yet. When we get to the post station tonight, grandma will buy you some delicious food and make sure you eat your fill." After saying that, she took Mu Yuanzhang and walked back. They couldn't continue to embarrass themselves by the river.

"Wow, husband, your cooking skills are really good. The grilled fish smells so delicious." The eldest wife was in great joy.

Fu Yunxi watched Mu Yibai grill the fish skillfully and smelled the long-lost fragrance. In her previous life, she spent her time doing scientific research and tasting delicious food, so she stocked up a lot of delicious food in the space villa. She didn't expect that the villain's cooking skills were so good. It seems that she has not lost out.

"This one is for you. I'll bake some more."

"Yiheng, you give these two fish to the leading official as a token of our appreciation. He will feel embarrassed to embarrass us along the way."

Seeing Fu Yunxi drooling, Mu Yibai's cold and hard mouth corners slightly raised, it turned out that he was still a little foodie.

"Haha! I'm so sorry, I'll give this to my grandmother and wait for you to bake the second batch."

Fu Yunxi felt that the big villain was so nice. He must have feelings for her, otherwise why would he give the first fish to her, hehe.

"You guys eat it. Grandma has bad teeth and can't eat it. You guys eat it while it's hot."

Jiang was very happy to see that her grandson and his wife had such a harmonious relationship, so she didn't compete with Xier for the grilled fish.

"Okay, I'll get some soft food for grandma. We can't let you watch us eat, then how can we eat in peace?"

After saying that, Fu Yunxi took out a large bowl of steamed osmanthus fish from the space.

This sweet-scented osmanthus fish has a delicate texture and tastes delicious. My grandmother would definitely eat it. Moreover, her space has a fresh-keeping function. It was still hot when she put it in, and it is still steaming when she takes it out now.

Mu Yiheng bent over and handed the roasted fish to the leading officer.

"Sir, this is what my brother caught. There are a few fish, please don't mind."

Zheng Chengyuan didn't expect the eldest wife of the Mu family to be so sensible. In fact, they had smelled the aroma of grilled fish a long time ago and wanted to ask for some. This saved them a lot of trouble!

Zheng Chengyuan took the two big grilled fishes and was in a good mood. He decided to let everyone rest for a quarter of an hour at noon before setting off again.

The amount of grilled fish was limited and certainly could not meet the needs of dozens of officials. Only the leader could have a few bites, and the others had to grill it themselves.

When Mu Yibai was in the army, he often grilled wild game in the wild. He was very good at barbecue. Coupled with the rich seasonings in Fu Yunxi's space, Zheng Chengyuan felt very satisfied with the meal.
