Shang Zehan scratched his head, a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said:

"Oh, I regret it, I regret it, this is really amazing, I didn't expect to catch so many fish."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

At this time, Baili Ye rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile:

"Since there are so many fish, let's stop just watching and start catching them."

After saying that, he took the lead in pulling the rope of the bamboo basket and poured the full basket of fish into the bucket.

Qing He reminded from the side: "Everyone be careful, don't slip."

Everyone responded and started to get busy. Some pulled the ropes in their hands, some held bamboo baskets, and some just grabbed with their hands. For a while, the riverside was filled with laughter and excitement.

Duoduo approached the river cautiously and stretched out her little hands to catch fish, but she always caught nothing. The splashing water wet her clothes, but she was still very excited and refused to give up.

Seeing this, Qingli took out a small fishing net, handed it to Duoduo, and said to her:

"Duoduo, you can catch fish quickly with this fishing net."

Under Qingli's guidance, Duoduo finally caught a small fish. She jumped for joy and said, "I caught a fish! I caught a fish!"

Time passed quietly amid the laughter of the crowd and the sound of fish flapping and jumping.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the riverside, covering everyone with a layer of golden gauze.

At this time, the bamboo basket was filled with all kinds of fish. Qing He looked at the fruitful harvest and said with satisfaction:

"These fish are enough for us to have a sumptuous fish feast. Let's go back first."

Everyone walked back happily, carrying heavy bamboo baskets and buckets.

Along the way, they were still discussing the fun things that happened when catching fish, and their laughter echoed in the mountains.

After returning to the summer resort, everyone started to get busy, some killing fish, some cleaning them, preparing for the evening fish feast.

Everyone brought the fish to the kitchen, and Qinghe directed the servants to light the fire and fetch water.

She picked up a sharp kitchen knife and expertly gutted the fish and cleaned out the internal organs. Her movements were so smooth that Duoduo beside her exclaimed: "Sister is so amazing!"

The chefs in the kitchen also took the initiative to help kill and clean the fish, and soon several baskets of fish were cleaned out.

Qingli was also busy. She arranged the cleaned fish according to type and size, joking with Shang Zehan beside her:

"Cousin, look at this fish. Isn't it fatter than the ones you see in the city? We are in for a treat tonight."

Shang Zehan smiled and nodded, staring at the fish, and asked Qinghe:

"Sister Qinghe, how are we going to eat fish tonight?"

Qing He smiled and said, "You'll know tonight."

At this time, Baili Ye walked into the kitchen, holding some fresh vegetables and seasonings picked from the villa's vegetable garden, and said:

"Xiao He, I found some side dishes. Cook them with the fish. It will definitely taste better."

Qing He took the vegetables and said with a smile, "Aye is really thoughtful."

After the preparations were ready, Qinghe first put some of the fish into a large iron pan and fried it until both sides were golden brown. Suddenly, the kitchen was filled with the tempting aroma of fish.

Then, she added onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings to stir-fry until fragrant, then poured in water, covered the pot, and let the fish soup simmer slowly. After a while, the white fish soup began to boil in the pot, exuding a fresh and fragrant aroma.

On the other side, Qingli and Duoduo learned to coat some small fish with flour and put them into the hot oil pan to fry until crispy. After the golden small fish came out of the pan, Duoduo couldn't wait to pick up one and taste it. It was so hot that she exhaled, but she still said incoherently:

"Delicious, delicious!" Everyone was amused by her cute appearance.

Shang Zehan was also helping. He carefully put the chopped vegetables into the fish soup. Looking at the rich ingredients in the pot, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "This fish feast will surely satisfy everyone's appetite."

On the other side, Baili Ye led everyone to grill the fish.

Place the processed fish on the grill. The fish have been marinated with various seasonings and exude an enticing aroma.

He first spread a layer of charcoal evenly under the grill, then picked up a fan and fanned it gently. The fire instantly became stronger, and the flames licked the fish body happily.

He turned the fish on the grill from time to time to ensure that they were heated evenly. The fish skin gradually became golden and crispy, and oil sizzled. The oil dripped onto the charcoal fire, causing a small flame to leap up and make a crackling sound, adding a lively atmosphere to the fish grilling process.

Baili Ye stared at the changes of the fish intently, his eyes revealing confidence and skill.

While grilling the fish, he used a brush to dip the carefully prepared sauce and spread it evenly on the fish. The sauce melted quickly under the high temperature and penetrated into the texture of the fish meat. The rich aroma filled the air, attracting the attention of people around.

"Your Highness, this grilled fish smells so delicious. It looks like we're in for a treat tonight!" The guards and relatives at the side couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Baili Ye smiled and said, "The key to grilling fish is the heat and sauce. This sauce is specially prepared by the princess. You will know how delicious it is later."

As time went by, both sides of the fish were roasted to the perfect color. Baili Ye placed the roasted fish in a large bowl and sprinkled some chopped green onions and coriander as garnish. The roasted fish with good color, aroma and taste was officially completed.

After watching Baili Ye’s steps of grilling fish, Shang Zehan and others also started to learn from him.

After Qinghe's dishes were prepared and served, Baili Ye and others had also finished grilling the fish.

As fish dishes came out of the pot one after another, there were braised fish fillets, steamed sea bass, sweet and sour carp, squirrel mandarin fish, spicy fish, pickled fish, chopped pepper fish head, fish head stewed with tofu, pan-fried small fish, and delicious soup made with fish balls and vegetables, plus grilled fish, filling up the table.

Everyone sat around the table, looking at the delicious dishes, and their mouths were already drooling.

Qing He smiled and said, "Everyone, come and have a taste. This is the result of our joint labor."

After saying that, Qinghe took the lead in picking up a piece of fresh and tender fish and put it into her mouth. The fish melted in her mouth, and the fresh fragrance spread on the tip of her tongue. She nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Seeing this, everyone started to eat, and for a moment, there were exclamations of praise one after another.

"This steamed sea bass is so delicious that it makes my eyebrows fall off. The meat is delicate and smooth. Sister Qinghe's cooking skills are amazing!"

Duoduo spoke incoherently while eating, her little face full of satisfaction, her eyes staring at the dishes on the table, as if she was thinking about which dish to eat next.

"Yes, this braised fish fillet is equally delicious, with just the right amount of salty and sweet, rich flavor, crispy skin, and tender and juicy fish meat inside. Every bite is intoxicating."

Shang Zehan also followed suit in praising, his chopsticks constantly moving between the dishes, sometimes picking up a piece of braised fish, sometimes scooping a spoonful of pickled fish soup, eating with great enjoyment, a happy smile on his face.
