Prince Jing jumped up and down nimbly, thanks to his years of fishing. His claws were steady, accurate, and fierce. He was able to fight three and a half enemies at the same time without being at a disadvantage.
Su Yu felt that the fight would take a long time, so he stuffed the plate in his hand to the Emperor and told him to eat slowly. He was about to go to the kitchen to make dinner.
"Four against one? What kind of hero are you?" Prince Jing flipped the little fat cat over with his paw and pounced on him to bite his neck, but Uncle Seventeen sneakily attacked him and knocked him down. He quickly used his back paw to push the big cat away and shouted to the Emperor, who was leisurely eating a pastry, "Your Majesty, come and help me!"
The Emperor looked at him with disdain. He finished the pastry in his hand, snorted coldly, threw down the empty plate, and turned to leave. He didn't want to waste his time with these idiots. As a busy Emperor, there were more important things waiting for him to do. Therefore, he stepped out of the hall with his hands behind his back and walked happily to the kitchen.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!" As soon as he entered the kitchen, he heard noises from the corner.
The Emperor frowned, "What's that?"
Su Yu was lying beside the water tank, looking at the newly arrived fish. He waved his hand at the Emperor, "He Luo Fish."
He Luo Fish had one head and ten bodies. Its sound was like a dog's bark.
This time, Prince Jing brought all the fish he caught before the East Sea was closed. The Imperial Family, who were running out of food, had fresh sea monsters to eat again. Prince Jing had also brought He Luo Fish before, but there weren't many of them. They were killed in Anguo Tower. The Emperor hadn't seen them alive yet.
An Hong-chul went to the water tank and looked at the water tank. There were several fish of different shapes in it. The most conspicuous one was the He Luo Fish. It had an abnormally big head, like a bookclip, and ten bodies behind it. It looked like an ugly big brush.
The big fish head popped out of the water and looked at the Emperor for a moment. "Woof!"
His Majesty slapped He Luo Yu, who had jumped out of the water, unconscious. "Let's eat this tonight."
Sure enough, Mr. Cat didn't like barking dogs. Su Yu understood and quickly scooped up the fainted fish. "Okay, let's eat this."
None of the ten fish bodies of the He Luo fish had any fine bones. After chopping off the huge fish head, the ten fish bodies were gathered together by a clamp-like cartilage, and the cartilage was pinned together with a thin bamboo stick. The ten fish bodies formed a circle. After removing the scales and scraping the bones, he used a small delicate knife to cut the fish into flower shapes. Then, he covered it with flour and threw it into a wok of oil to fry it until it was golden yellow. Instantly, it turned into a huge fish flower.
Su Yu was now able to recite the Su Family's Cookbook backwards. In addition to the craftsmanship of his previous life, it was not difficult for him to make ten different toppings. Sweet and sour, savory and savory, fresh sauce, minced garlic … Ten kinds of juices were poured on the ten fish, and each fish produced ten different flavors.
The scalding hot topping was poured over the crispy fish, making an enticing sizzling sound. His Majesty couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and taste them one by one.
Su Yu pretended not to see and let the greedy cat steal the food. He turned around to lift the lid of the wok. Coincidentally, the big fish head was also out of the wok.
The head of the He Luo fish was abnormally huge, and there was a lot of tender meat between the head and the cartilage. It was perfect to make steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers. Although Su Yu used to be the best at cooking Sichuan dishes, he also knew how to make a few classic Hunan dishes. A simple steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers was naturally not a problem.
The fresh and spicy fragrance overflowed from the wok. His Majesty the Emperor immediately put down the fish body and turned around to circle Su Yu.
"Don't worry." Su Yu held back his laughter and put in the last condiment. Then, he scooped the fish out and fed it to the big plaster on his back with chopsticks.
His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth and ate it. He smacked his lips and said, "Add some noodles." He had eaten this steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers before. The best part was not the fish meat, but the wide leaf noodles mixed in after eating the fish meat.
"You remember clearly," Su Yu slightly tilted his head and rubbed his face against the Emperor's. He motioned to the palace maid helping the kitchen to roll the noodles, "Wait until the room is almost full before cooking."
The palace maid brought the dishes to the table. The princes, who were originally fighting, were already sitting neatly at the table. They didn't make any noise and looked happy and harmonious.
"Why are you still here?" His Majesty the Emperor said with dissatisfaction.
His Royal Highness King Ling said with a thick face: "Isn't it time to eat?"
His Royal Highness King Zhao stared at the plate in the palace maid's hand, "Sister-in-law, is this plain? It looks so thick! "
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince squatted on the table and jumped into Su Yu's arms.
Prince Su didn't say anything and just silently picked up his chopsticks.
His Majesty the Emperor's left hand clenched his right fist, making a dangerous cracking sound. Everyone shrunk their necks and braved the risk of being beaten. They still braced themselves and refused to move. His Royal Highness Prince Jing wasn't afraid at all. He wanted the Emperor to get angry so that he could fight with him again.
Fortunately, the He Luo Fish was very big and enough for several people to eat.
It wasn't a big deal to eat fish like mackerel and Ying Fish, which could affect the fortune of the world. However, the He Luo Fish could affect one's health, so ordinary people couldn't eat too much of it. The He Luo Fish could cure ulcers. If a sick person ate it, they would naturally get better. However, if a healthy person ate it, it would become a great tonic. If they ate too much of it, they would have a nosebleed. Of course, all the strange fish, whether it was used to cure diseases or harm people, wouldn't have any effect on Uncle Cat if he ate it. For the descendants of ancient mythological beasts, it was just delicious fish meat.
Su Yu couldn't eat too much He Luo Fish, so he cooked a small bowl of wontons for himself. When His Majesty the Emperor saw it, he also went over to eat. Su Yu scooped up a hot wonton and blew on it. Then, he fed it to His Majesty along with the soup.
His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth and put the delicious wonton into his mouth. At the same time, he also drank the soup in the spoon clean.
His Royal Highness King Zhao buried his head into the bowl and pretended that he didn't see anything. When his eldest son saw this, he also buried his head into his own bowl. His face was immediately covered in soup.
Prince Jing looked at his younger brother, who was shamelessly asking his wife to feed him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What is that? Let me try it too."
Only Su Yu had wontons in his bowl. When His Majesty the Emperor heard this, he immediately flew into a rage. With a whoosh, he threw the chopsticks in his hand straight at Prince Jing's eyes. Prince Jing accurately caught the chopsticks.
Seeing that they were about to fight again, Prince Su originally wanted to mediate, but Prince Ling elbowed him. He immediately understood and didn't say anything else. Instead, he ate the fish faster. When the two people who were about to fight saw this, they glared at each other and picked up their chopsticks again.
After eating, Prince Jing finally remembered that he came to the North Pole Palace to report to His Majesty the situation in the East Sea. He spread out a sea map on the cushion. Because the sea map was rolled up all year round, it had to be rolled up again after it was unrolled. His Majesty the Emperor had the remaining four cats squat at the four corners of the map.
The two uncles dutifully squatted down. When the little fat cat was full, it lay on the cushion and turned its belly. His Royal Highness the Emperor didn't know what was going on, so he squatted on the cushion and scratched the corner of the map. Su Yu had no choice but to sit next to his son and stretch out his hand to help him press down. The little furball sniffed the white fingers. There was still the smell of fresh fish on them. It happily licked them and hugged Su Yu's wrist and lay on the back of his hand.
Prince Jing ignored the four strange paperweights and stopped smiling to get down to business.
The situation in the East Sea was very serious. There were almost no safe beaches. Many fishermen had accidentally eaten sea monsters and got sick. This was because not all the strange fish looked strange. Some of the strange fish looked very similar to ordinary fish, but they would get sick or go crazy after eating them. Prince Jing had already banned the fishermen from eating the strange fish. He had also drawn pictures of the strange fish that looked like ordinary fish and posted them everywhere.
"We can't kill them all, and the people don't know the dangers. If this goes on, there will be a time when we can't control them and the world will be in chaos." His beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of worry. Although Prince Jing liked to catch these strange fish, no matter how powerful he was, there would always be a time when he couldn't take care of them. If the people caught these dangerous fish and didn't kill them in time, drought, flood, chaos, and tsunamis would follow one after another.
"Imperial Father and the others are on an island in the East Sea." His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment, then suddenly said.
"These must have been made by Ya Zi. Imperial Father and the others …" Prince Jing suddenly paused. "What did His Majesty just say? Imperial Father and the others are still alive? "
"The mermaid said so." An Hong-chul frowned slightly. Back then, the Retired Emperor and the other princes had gotten lost in the sea because they wanted to defeat Ya Zi and find the exit where the strange fish were released.
"Didn't the mermaid tell Your Highness?" Su Yu asked curiously. With Prince Jing's active personality, how could he not turn into a cat and scratch the mermaid? Could it be … Looking at Prince Jing's charming peach blossom eyes, Su Yu seemed to understand something. His Highness Prince Jing, who was popular with women, must be very careful about his image in front of beautiful women. Wait, if that's the case, then Prince Jing's purpose in offering the mermaid to the Emperor …
"How can this prince talk to food?" Prince Jing looked at Su Yu in confusion.
Su Yu choked. "Then, why did Your Highness send the mermaid to the capital?"
"I don't know how to eat it." Prince Jing pursed his lips. The chefs in the prince's residence refused to kill the fish, so the concubines persuaded him to offer the mermaid to the Emperor. He thought about it and agreed. Giving this inedible fish to the Emperor was a rare ingredient that could be used. Moreover, this year's tribute could be saved. More importantly, he hoped that the Emperor could find the correct way to eat it. This way, it would be easier for him to eat the mermaid he caught in the future.
The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched. He felt that Prince Jing's concubines didn't seem to mean this …
