Chapter 324 Fish Soup, Cook It Quickly
On the second day, at the request of Princess Jiujiang, Li Shimin left the palace and came to Zuixianlou, the home of Yu Yu's family.
Li Shimin was very familiar with this place. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Yu had gotten up and was playing with a bighead carp in the tavern.
When Yuyu saw Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang, he hurried over to pay his respects and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Princess Jiujiang, you are here. Come and take a look at the bighead carp we just caught."
Li Shimin smiled and nodded, saying, "Yuyu, what are you playing with, girl? This big-headed fish is really interesting."
Princess Jiujiang also came forward, looked at the big-headed fish curiously, and said, "This fish is really big, Yuyu, where did you get it from?"
Yuyu said proudly, "My family went fishing in the river yesterday. It wasn't easy to catch this one."
At this time, Xiaoyu came out from the back and saw Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang. She quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Jiujiang, how come you have time to come to our inn today? Please come in."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, Princess Jiujiang dragged me here today. She said she missed the food here. I haven't left the palace for a long time, so I came to visit."
Xiaoyu quickly said, "It is an honor for our inn to have His Majesty and the Princess here. Please take a seat. I will go prepare the meal."
Afterwards, everyone sat down in Zuixianlou, savoring the delicious food, laughing and chatting, enjoying this rare moment.
Yu Yu excitedly told Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang about the interesting thing about fishing yesterday, which made everyone laugh.
Chef Mi was busy in the kitchen stewing bighead carp soup. The fire in the stove was burning brightly, the flames licking the bottom of the pot, and the fish soup in the pot had begun to bubble and swirl, with bursts of delicious fragrance wafting out.
Yu Yu was thinking about the fish soup so much that she couldn't sit still and would run to the kitchen to check every once in a while.
She tiptoed into the kitchen, went to the side of the pot, sniffed the increasingly rich aroma with her little nose, stared at the pot with sparkling eyes, watched the milky white fish soup bubbling, the fish head pieces inside rising and falling with the soup, as if calling her to come and taste it quickly.
Chef Mi saw Yuyu running in again and said jokingly with a smile, "Yuyu, you've already run back several times. Don't worry, the fish soup needs to simmer for a while longer. It will be more delicious when it's cooked to perfection."
Yuyu stuck out her tongue and responded, "Chef Mi, I'm really looking forward to it. Just smelling it makes me hungry. I just want it to be ready soon."
After saying that, Yu Yu didn't leave but stood there, staring at the pot with her impatient look, as if she could drink several big bowls of the fish soup as soon as it was ready. This even amused Chef Mi, who shook his head and continued to concentrate on cooking the mouth-watering bighead carp soup.
Xiaoyu looked at Yuyu, who was staring at the bighead carp soup in the kitchen with eager eyes. She walked over with a smile, gently pulled the corner of Yuyu's clothes, and said, "Yuyu, don't stay in the kitchen staring at the fish soup. His Majesty and Princess Jiujiang rarely come to our Zuixianlou. Let's go out and chat with them. Don't be impolite."
Yuyu reluctantly moved her eyes away from the fish soup, looked up at Xiaoyu, and muttered, "Mom, but I haven't watched this fish soup until it's ready. I really want to taste it as soon as possible."
Xiaoyu patted Yuyu's head and patiently advised, "Be good, Chef Mi will prepare this fish soup well. You'll be able to drink it soon. Let's go out and talk to His Majesty and the Princess. They came all the way here, we can't just let them sit there and do nothing. Let's go."
After hearing this, Yuyu reluctantly followed Xiaoyu out, looking back every few steps. Her eyes were full of nostalgia for the bighead carp soup in the kitchen, and she kept muttering to herself, "Then I have to come back quickly to drink the fish soup later."
Xiaoyu was at a loss for words. She pulled Yuyu to the lobby and immediately put on a warm smile. She walked towards Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang, ready to chat with them and make the atmosphere in Zuixianlou even more warm and harmonious.
Xiaoyu walked up to Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Princess Jiujiang, the restaurant's guests will be arriving soon. The lobby is crowded and noisy, and I'm afraid it will disturb your peace and quiet. How about moving to the private room on the second floor? There's a quiet environment there, and it's convenient for you to sit and chat."
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go to the private room on the second floor. I am also looking for a quiet place."
Princess Jiujiang also echoed, "Yeah, the hall is bustling with people, it's really noisy. It's just right to go to the private room."
As he spoke, Xiaoyu led the way, taking Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang to the second floor.
The stairs were made of wood and made a slight creaking sound when stepped on, as if telling the story of Zuixianlou.
I went up to the second floor and pushed open the door of the private room. It was decorated quite elegantly, with tables and chairs polished to a shine. There were also several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, exuding an elegant atmosphere.
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, please take a seat. If you want anything to eat or drink, just tell me and I'll arrange it right away."
Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang took their seats one after another. Looking at the furnishings in the elegant room, they felt comfortable and began to chat casually with Xiaoyu, waiting for the delicious dishes to be served, especially the much-anticipated bighead carp soup.
When Yuyu heard they were going to the private room on the second floor, her eyes lit up immediately. She hurried over to Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, Princess Jiujiang, we found a rare moon jellyfish yesterday. It's in a small glass fish tank. It's really beautiful. Let's go take a look together."
Li Shimin became interested and asked with a smile, "Oh? There are moon jellyfish! This is a rare and precious thing. I want to see what it looks like."
Princess Jiujiang was also full of curiosity. She took Yuyu's hand and said, "Yuyu, take us to see it. I've never seen a peach jellyfish before. I heard that it looks like peach blossoms and is very beautiful."
Yuyu nodded repeatedly, skipping ahead to lead the way, and said, "Yes, Princess, you will definitely like it when you see it. The way it swims in the water looks like a blooming peach blossom. It's magical."
Everyone followed Yu Yu to the place where the peach blossom jellyfish was placed. Yu Yu carefully picked up the fish tank containing the peach blossom jellyfish and handed it to Li Shimin and Princess Jiujiang like a treasure.
Everyone came forward and stared at the moon jellyfish swaying slowly in the fish tank, as if they were attracted by this wonderful little pet and couldn't stop expressing admiration.
