Chapter 258 Grilled Fish

When Rose and Lily came back with a bundle of firewood each, they saw the county lady killing a fish and the third prince processing the fish's entrails beside her. The two of them worked in perfect harmony.

Zheng Sisi and the Third Prince turned around when they heard the sound and saw that the two men had come back with firewood. Zheng Sisi ordered them, "Choose a place where there are no sugarcane seedlings to build a fire. I will finish it here soon."

The two replied, "Okay, County Lady," and then went to find a place.

Zheng Sisi said, "Qingfeng and Master Ye have been gone for so long, why haven't they come back yet? Have they run into trouble?"

The third prince answered affirmatively: "No, he must have been delayed by something. Let's wait a little longer."

After Zheng Sisi cleaned the fish, she found that there was no grill, so she said to the Third Prince, "Sheng Zhen, go cut some branches that are as thick as your fingers, and they should be longer, so that we can grill the fish later."

The third prince stood up and said, "Okay." He went to find Rose, got the machete, and went into the bushes.

Zheng Sisi took out the seasonings from the space and marinated the fish. It only took about ten minutes to marinate, and then grill it on the fire. It would be very fragrant if some cumin powder and chili powder were added.

Zheng Sisi took out the seasonings that would be used later. They were in small porcelain bottles that had been prepared long ago and had labels on them indicating their names.

The third prince moved quickly, and soon he had chopped off a large bundle of twigs and removed the leaves. He put them aside, peeled off the bark of the twigs, sharpened one end, and handed it to Zheng Sisi.

Zheng Sisi took it and forked the fish onto the branches. In order to make it more fragrant when roasted, Zheng Sisi forked two branches for each fish.

Rose Lily had already started a fire and made a rack with a few tree forks. Zheng Sisi put the fish on the rack and said to the two of them, "You need to turn the fish over from time to time to avoid it getting burnt."

The two said, "Okay." Then they stared at the fish on the fire. It was still wet when it was first put on the fire, and it made a sizzling sound when it hit the fire. There was still some marinade on the fish, and the surface was a little brown.

Zheng Sisi put four fish on the rack in a row, and the rack was full of space. Four fish were so big that they were enough for several people to eat.

Zheng Sisi said to the third prince, "Sheng Zhen, no need to peel them, four fish are enough for us to eat."

The third prince replied: "Okay."

He put away his machete and washed his hands by the stream before coming to the grill. Looking at the fish on the grill, the third prince felt that it was much more exquisite than the fish they grilled when they were camping outdoors.

It hadn't been roasted for long when the aroma began to spread, and the third prince began to turn the fish over. With the frequent turning, the surface of the fish turned golden, and the aroma became stronger and stronger.

"It smells so good!" Rose said, "The county lady really didn't lie to us. This fish is different from the fish we ate before."

Lily said, "I used to hate eating fish because it was fishy and had a lot of bones. But now I want to eat this fish."

Zheng Sisi also swallowed her saliva. She herself hadn't eaten grilled fish for a long time. She used to often go to the night snack stalls to eat barbecue and flavored shrimps. Now thinking about it, it seemed like a long time had passed.

Zheng Sisi looked at the direction where Qingfeng and Ye Hu left. The Third Prince saw where she was looking and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, they will be fine. I believe they will be back soon."

It’s not that the Third Prince is not worried about the two of them, but he believes in their martial arts and ability to handle things. No one in this place can hurt them.

Zheng Sisi said: "It's just that they have been gone for so long, I am worried that they will encounter large wild animals."

As soon as Zheng Sisi finished speaking, she heard a rustling sound and saw two figures walking towards here through the bushes.

Lily said, "County Lady, Qingfeng and Ye Hu are back."

The two men must be carrying something very heavy on their backs, with their hands pulling the things behind them, but they couldn't see what they were from this angle.

Qingfeng sniffed from a distance and said, "What are you guys grilling? I came back here because of the aroma. It smells so good!"
