Chapter 153: Returning to West Sun City

“Take property safety precautions. I don’t want to see boat crashes or anyone falling into the water,” Liu Feng said.

“Understood!” Niu Da said. ran around relaying Liu Feng’s orders to the others. He was basically Liu Feng’s steward. As soon as the day had lit up, he had gone around to get people to buy wheat, rent ships, and so on.

“Young Master, how do we deal with this fish?” Tess asked, rubbing her stomach. She hadn’t even eaten the wheat porridge made for breakfast as she had kept it empty so she could eat more of the food that Liu Feng would make.

“Coming!” Liu Feng walked next to the barrel. In the short time that they had spent talking, Mina had caught 3 more fish. He looked at Mina and Tess and thought that the amount of fish in the barrel wouldn’t even be enough to make either of them partially full.

“Tess, go to the kitchen. There should be some iron plates and burners there, take them out here,” Liu Feng said, rolling up his sleeves. The cooks they had brought with them didn’t know how to cook fish, so he had to do it himself.

“Okay!” Tess walked away swiftly to get the things. She had seen what happened the previous night, and she was somewhat convinced that Liu Feng was a good noble. Well, as long as the person treated her well, then she would consider them a good person.

“Mina, what kind of fish do you want to eat?” Liu Feng asked while killing the fish. “Or rather, what kind of fish do you think you want to eat?”

“Something that smells good and that I can keep eating,” Mina replied subconsciously.

“Oh, so snacks!” Liu Feng said.

“Snacks? What is that?” Mina asked as she pulled up another fish. “Is it also fish meat?”

“You’ll know when I make it later,” Liu Feng said, smiling mysteriously.

Mina rested her chin on her arms. As she watched Liu Feng work, she thought that he was the most handsome guy in the world.

“Young Master, is it these?” Tess asked, putting down a bunch of things in front of Liu Feng.

“
” Liu Feng’s mouth twitched as he looked at the stuff in front of him. Did you empty the whole kitchen?

“Is there something missing?” Tess asked, standing up and preparing to go to the kitchen again.

“No no, they’re all here,” Liu Feng said, quickly stopping Tess. He pointed at a few things. “Wash these clean.”

“Okay!” Tess swiftly got to work with her hands.

Soon, the fire started burning, and Liu Feng put the iron plate on top of the fire. He put lard on the iron plate, as well as onion, garlic, and ginger for flavor, and finally, he put on the fish. This was sizzling fish.

Next, he set up a pot on top of another fire. He filled it with oil, onion, ginger, garlic, and bay leaves, and then put in the fish meat that he had already cut to be fried.

The rich aroma caused a girl hiding in a ship a few distances away to swallow her saliva. Her green eyes flickered, but she resisted the temptation.

Eliza had chosen to stow away on this ship away from the North Wind City to hide her location. The bounty hunters she had encountered the previous day made her realize that she had to be more careful, especially from the bounty hunters with special skills.

The reason Eliza chose to go to West Sun City was because of the beastkins actions the previous night. She wanted to know whether Liu Feng was simply pretending to be nice to beastkins for a scheme or if he was genuinely kind to them. She also wanted to see if there were elves in West Sun City.

Eliza took out a hard wheat bread, eating it slowly and trying not to smell the rich fragrance of fish in the air.

About half an hour later


“Raise the rope!”

“Raise the rope!”

One voice after another sounded, and soon, the fleet started to sail back to West Sun City. The first to move was 4 medium-sized ships, which were Liu Feng’s best ships at the moment. They were followed by 12 ships of varying sizes, carrying wheat and commoners from North Wind City. A fleet of this size was pretty large for neighboring cities.

The ships steadily moved forward, and as for the speed, well, honestly, Liu Feng didn’t have much hope for the ships in this world.

“Young Master, can we eat now?” Tess and Mina asked, staring at all the different fish dishes on the table. It was like a fish feast, with braised fish, steamed fish, fried fish, etc.

“Almost done!” Liu Feng said. He was currently deep-frying a pot full of fish meat that he had cut into bite-size- he was making fish snacks.

Liu Feng dumped all the fish pieces into a clean basket made of bamboo. He scattered some spices and left the oil to be dried, at which point it would become a delicious snack.

“Enjoy the meal!” Liu Feng said. After he took a bite, Tess and Mina started fighting for the food, and soon, they were using their hands to grab the fish.

“Hey! Mina, you’re too much. Not only do you have a fish in your mouth, but you also have a fish in each of your hands. And that’s not all- you even have a fish in your tail!” Tess said.

“Mm yew mmm too
” Mina said with the fish still in her mouth.

“Watch this! I bite!” Tess said, opening her mouth and lunging toward Mina.

“Isn’t there still fish there?” Mina swallowed her fish, dodged Tess, and pouted. “Why are you trying to take mine?”

“Yours look tastier,” Tess said, smiling playfully.

Liu Feng smiled as he watched the familiar scene of beastgirls fighting over the food. Are all beastgirls like this and obey the principle that food is tastier when you fight for it?

Liu Feng picked up a piece of fish and slowly put it in his mouth. Looking at the banks on the side of the river, and listening to the playful quarreling sounds, Liu Feng felt that this was how it was like when ancient poets in the past traveled. Well, aside from the beastgirls, that is.

As Liu Feng held a cup of coke, he suddenly felt a bit poetic.

“Ghostly Water River, so much water.

“16 sailboats, made of wood. 𝗳r𝚎e𝘄𝐞bđš—đ—Œve𝚕.cođ—ș

“Beastgirls beastgirls, so so beautiful.”

As Liu Feng said these lines, he saw a few people stagger and nearly fall into the water.

“Cough cough
 just had a little inspiration,” Liu Feng said, embarrassed as he drank the coke and started eating the fish.

“Young Master? Are you okay?” Mina asked, concerned.
