S City, Qingtian Village.

An old house surrounded by a fence, with an almond tree in the yard, contrasting with the surrounding green mountains and green waters.

It looks like a paradise.

Under the apricot tree, on a recliner, an old man crossed his legs, holding a book leisurely and savoring it carefully.

The birds in the forest chirped very quietly, as if they didn't want to disturb the tranquility of this place.

If it weren't for the swaying recliner, all this would look like a picture that can cleanse one's heart.

Refreshing.

at this time.

A figure walked into the painting out of place, disrupting this beautiful scene.

...

"Mr. Wu, long time no see, are you okay?"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Liu Mang had complicated eyes and a very forced smile on his face.

When he came here, he was shocked by the harmonious scene in front of him.

He really didn't want to disturb Wu Yuanjun's life unless he had to.

Glancing at Liu Mang faintly, Wu Yuanjun had not yet put down the book in his hand, but just said "hmm" from his nose, which was regarded as a response.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk to him, Liu Mang was silent for a moment, not knowing how to ask.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Mang finally summoned up the courage to speak.

It's just that the words are on my lips, but they haven't blurted out yet.

Wu Yuanjun raised his hand and interrupted.

"First of all, let me explain, don't ask about bad things, don't talk about big things. Old man, I am getting older, and I like to talk about interesting things, such as romantic affairs!"

Liu Mang was a little overwhelmed by the sudden "irregularity".

Looking at Wu Yuanjun, who was completely different from his previous "calmness", Liu Mang was speechless for a moment.

But he didn't feel bad at all, and even the heavy expression on his face relaxed a lot at the other party's joke.

Seeing Liu Mang's expression softening, Wu Yuanjun put down the book in his hand and looked Liu Mang up and down.

Then he asked in a rather gossipy manner, "Boy Liu, how are you and that girl Liuli doing? When are you planning to get married? Although you two are young, you have reached the stage where it is time to talk about marriage. You must not be fooled."

Chen Shimei!"

Wu Yuanjun seemed to be chatting away at home, which made Liu Mang's relieved expression become heavy again.

See the situation.

Wu Yuanjun clapped his mouth quickly and said, "Oh, forget it, forget it. This is all your young people's business. I, the old man, shouldn't ask more questions."

After that, seeing Liu Mang hesitate to speak, he quickly opened his mouth and continued, "Young man Liu, have you eaten?"

Liu Mang shook his head.

Wu Yuanjun smiled, immediately stood up and pulled Liu Mang out of the courtyard.

"Then you are in luck today. Come with me and let's go eat fish!"

Liu Mang didn't say much, he just let Wu Yuanjun pull him and walked out of the hospital in small steps.

...

"Brother Wu, is this what you call eating fish?"

Pointing to the fishing rod in his hand, Liu Mang was speechless.

Wu Yuanjun smiled nonchalantly and said, "You can do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. The fish here is pure natural and pollution-free grass carp. The live fish caught are processed immediately. Whether it is roasted or stewed, it has a unique taste. You kid, just have fun!"

As he was talking, Wu Yuanjun used a pole to catch a 15-centimeter large grass carp.

With a skillful move, he caught the lively grass carp.

Rolling his arms, Wu Yuanjun started to deal with it on the stone platform nearby.

Cheek removal and scale removal can be done in one go.

He picked up the iron pot that had been set up, scooped up a pot of water from the clear river, and placed it on the fire where the charcoal was burned.

Putting the prepared grass carp into the pot, Wu Yuanjun clapped his hands with a look of anticipation on his face.

"It's done, you'll have fresh fish soup to drink later!"

After that, he pointed at Liu Mang and said with a vigilant face, "Boy, you can eat what you catch. Don't fight with the old man and me later!"

Hear the words.

Liu Mang glanced at the other party speechlessly, and hummed softly: "Don't worry, if you don't even put a little salt, how can it taste? Even if you put it in front of me later and let me eat it, I won't eat it."

!”

"That's what you said!" Wu Yuanjun smiled and didn't care. He started to stir up the charcoal and controlled the heat.

It didn't take long.

Liu Mang regretted his words.

Beside him, the smell of fish began to waft out of the iron pot, causing him to glance sideways from time to time.

The hot white fish soup flipped out of the pot lid with the heat and dripped on the green grass.

It adds a touch of sweetness to this touching fragrance, which is very tempting.

Liu Mang, who had come all the way here, had not eaten for a whole day.

My stomach was growling with hunger, my eyes were staring straight, and all I wanted to do was get into the pot and see what the boiled fish looked like!

It seemed that he responded to Liu Mang's eager mood.

Wu Yuanjun stepped forward happily and opened the lid of the pot.

Suddenly a white mist rose into the sky, and the fragrance mixed with it made Liu Mang no longer interested in holding the fishing rod, and stretched his neck to look into the pot.

Wait until the white fog dissipates.

I saw that the clear water in the pot turned milky white at this moment, which was very attractive.

Wu Yuanjun took out his chopsticks and stirred it up.

There are traces of mucus hanging on the chopsticks.

The fish meat breaks into pieces when stirred, and the fish bones become even softer. When stirred gently, the fish meat changes shape.

The minced meat and cartilage are mixed in the milky white soup, which adds a lot of color to the already attractive fish soup.

Wu Yuanjun couldn't wait to fill a bowl of soup. Regardless of how hot it was, he put it to his mouth and took a sip.

Then he raised his face and closed his eyes, with an unconscious smile of happiness on his lips.

"Tell me, what does it smell like?"

Seeing that Wu Yuanjun didn't speak for a long time, Liu Mang couldn't help but speak anxiously.

Hear the words.

Wu Yuanjun looked at Liu Mang with a wicked smile and said lightly, "Don't you know if you make a pot yourself?"

With a look of embarrassment on his face, Liu Mang looked at the fishing rod in his hand, feeling quite annoyed.

Doesn't he want to do it?

But I can’t catch any fish!

Seeing Liu Mang's expression changing, Wu Yuanjun said nothing.

He just held the bowl quietly and took a sip from time to time, looking very happy.

This made Liu Mang anxious and sweating profusely.

People who didn't know better thought he was drinking fish soup.

But the more urgent it is, as if God is joking with him, the less likely the fish will take the bait.

However, he was embarrassed to ask Wu Yuanjun for a bowl of fish soup. After all, he had said before that he didn't care about his fish soup.

a long time.

A belch came from Wu Yuanjun's mouth.

Liu Mang seemed to hear the sound of nature and quickly turned his head to look.

I saw that there was still more than half of the fish soup left in the pot.

This made him happy, and he ignored the fishing rod. He walked forward with a shy face and said, "Brother, there is still so much soup, and you can't finish it, why not..."

Glancing at Liu Mang with amused eyes, as if he didn't understand what Liu Mang meant, Wu Yuanjun pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'm old, my stomach is not working anymore, I really can't eat anymore. Oh, what a pity this pot is.

The fish soup can only be thrown away!"
