Chapter 69 Lu Jiuyuan Protects Food

"It's hard to say." Tao Yao said, turning the fish around again.

After a while, the fish was grilled.

Because of what Tao Yao said earlier, when Tao Ling and the others ate, they were extremely careful, for fear that the fish might not be cooked properly, or the fish would not taste good.

As a result, after taking a bite, several people's eyes lit up.

"Wow, this fish is deliciously grilled."

“It was so delicious!”

Lu Hao couldn't stop eating, his cheeks were bulging, "Aunt Jiu's grilled fish is even more delicious than the cook in Fuzhong, it's so delicious..."

Tao Yao smiled without saying a word.

As a foodie, in modern times, she can be considered to have eaten all kinds of delicious food, and even made some delicious food by herself from time to time.

Among them, barbecue is her favorite.

Well, next time I'll try charcoal grilled fish.

After eating the grilled fish, they rested for a while and proposed to go for a stroll on the mountain.

Probably because of the rain a few days ago, mushrooms grew on the mountain.

A few people were so happy that they started to pick mushrooms.

"Aunt Jiu, this mushroom is so bright and beautiful." Lu Hao saw the mushroom under the tree, his eyes lit up, and he was about to pick it, but Tao Yao stopped him.

"This mushroom looks beautiful, but it is poisonous, so don't pick it."

"Why? It looks so cute and beautiful..." Lu Hao was a little disappointed.

Tao Yao knelt down, pointed at the mushroom and said, "It's not that it looks bright and beautiful, it can be eaten. Don't pick mushrooms like this one. Of course, some dark ones are also poisonous, so you can't eat them."

"Yaoyao, can this kind be eaten?" Tao Ling asked with a bunch of picked mushrooms wrapped around her skirt.

Tao Yao let her fall to the ground, and picked them up one by one.

It really made her pick out a few poisonous mushrooms.

"These types are all poisonous, and you don't know how to distinguish them. For safety's sake, you should only pick these two types."

As she spoke, she picked up two kinds of non-poisonous mushrooms and showed them to several people.

Several people nodded, "Understood."

Tao Shu suddenly said strangely: "Didn't Yaoyao never come to pick mushrooms? How do you know if it's poisonous or not?"

Tao Yao had already found an explanation, heard the words, and explained: "I read it from the book, if everyone is worried, after picking it back, let the old man in the village help to distinguish it."

Only then did Tao Shu dispel her doubts.

On the way back, Tao Yao brought back the unfinished grilled fish and the mushrooms picked from the mountain.

When we arrived at Tao's mansion, it was getting late, so Tao Yao didn't go in. She only kept a small part of the mushrooms that everyone picked together, and gave the rest to Tao Ling and the others.

Afterwards, he gave Tao Ling the grilled fish in the food box, "My father likes to eat fish, please bring it to my father for me, and let him have a taste."

Tao Ling took it, "I'll give it to third uncle, so be careful on your way back."

"Yeah." Tao Yao nodded.

When we returned to Duke Lu's mansion, the sky had already darkened.

But as soon as the two got out of the carriage, they met Lu Jiuyuan who had just returned from outside.

Just as Tao Yao was about to say hello, Lu Hao stepped forward, took the food box in her hand, and said to Lu Jiuyuan, "Uncle Jiu, my Aunt Ninth brought you grilled fish. My Aunt Ninth grilled it herself."

Tao Yao: "..."

Lu Jiuyuan paused, reached out to take the food box, and looked at Tao Yao in surprise with his black eyes, "Did you bake it?"

"Yeah." Tao Yao came back to her senses, nodded, and walked over, "Today, my second sister and the others went to the village to play, and grilled a few fish along the way, I don't know if it suits your appetite."

Hearing this, a smile flashed across Lu Jiuyuan's black eyes, "The taste should not be bad."

Tao Yao looked at him in surprise, "Why are you so sure?"

"If it tastes bad, you probably wouldn't bring it to me," Lu Jiuyuan said.

Tao Yao: "..."

Can she say that the grilled fish is actually left over from their meal?

She was a little guilty.

At this time, Lu Jiuyuan's eyes fell on the basket in Xi'er's hand, "Going to pick mushrooms?"

Lu Hao said cheerfully: "Yes, Aunt Nine even took us to the mountain to pick mushrooms. Aunt Nine is so smart, she can also distinguish poisonous mushrooms."

Tao Yao's heart skipped a beat, and when the man looked over, she said calmly, "I don't know whether it's poisonous or not, I have to ask the cook to identify it."

"En." Lu Jiuyuan nodded.

After entering the mansion, Tao Yao ordered Lu Hao to be sent back to the third room.

Before leaving, Lu Xiaohao warned: "Aunt Nine, save some mushrooms for me, don't eat them all."

Tao Yao said with a smile, "I know."

Only then did Lu Hao leave in peace.

As soon as he left, Tao Yao and Lu Jiuyuan walked to the yard.

When they arrived at the Star Picking Hall, Lu Jiuyuan turned around and looked at her, "Do you want to go in?"

Tao Yao thought of climbing the mountain in the afternoon and was covered in sweat, so she shook her head, "I want to go back and take a bath."

"Okay." Lu Jiuyuan didn't force it.

Tao Yao subconsciously waved her hand, "Bye bye."

"What?" Lu Jiuyuan was puzzled.

Tao Yao came to her senses and said awkwardly, "That's... the meaning of goodbye."

Lu Jiuyuan paused, nodded, "Yes."

"By the way, Uncle Jiu, the fish is already cold, you can have someone warm it up for you before eating it." Tao Yao recalled and reminded.

"Okay." Lu Jiuyuan replied.

Only then did Tao Yao go back with peace of mind.

After watching the girl go away, Lu Jiuyuan carried the food box into the Star Picking Hall.

The servant who served saw it and wanted to carry it for him, but he refused.

He carried it directly back to the house.

Opening the food box, there was a plate containing grilled fish, and the color looked pretty good.

However, the grilled fish was indeed cold, but Lu Jiuyuan still used chopsticks first, picked up a little bit, and tasted it.

Wu Ze, who was waiting at the side, saw it, and complained in his heart, "The Duke's wife doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, this grilled fish might be unpalatable.

Wait a minute, the Duke might spit it out.

However, to his surprise, instead of vomiting, Lu Jiuyuan sat down and continued to eat.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Madam baked it with her own hands, Duke...you don't have to embarrass yourself so much, right?
Thinking about it, he said euphemistically, "Grandpa, the food is still hot on the stove, and someone from your subordinates will bring it to you?"

"No, you go and eat." Lu Jiuyuan said lightly.

Wu Ze hesitated, "Are you going to eat this fish?"

"En." Lu Jiuyuan replied, not feeling that there was anything wrong with this grilled fish.

He was actually a little surprised.

That girl looks delicate and soft, but she still has such skills.

It really surprised him.

Seeing this, Wu Ze became curious about the taste of the fish, and couldn't help but asked, "May I let my subordinates taste the fish grilled by my wife?"

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at him, frowned, "Not enough to eat."

Uze: "..."

He just wanted to take a bite, what is the Duke's act of protecting food?
And in his opinion, the taste of this fish must be bad.

Hmph, let the Duke ask for trouble, he went to eat the Duke's dinner.

After all, he walked out briskly.
