Chapter 217 The last few days of vacation
Actually, they added something to their fishing bait. Butler Chen put a lot of effort into making sure everyone had fun.
Of course, it's best to keep it to yourself; there's no need to say it out loud. He then helped another person untie the fish they had caught and put it into a bucket.
"Ayers, it seems you haven't caught any fish." George, who had just caught another fish, was looking at my bucket.
"It's alright, I'm in charge of cooking delicious food for you. I can handle as many fish as you catch," I said with a smile as I untied the fish they had caught.
“Then we can really look forward to Senior Ayers’ cooking skills.” Cedric also came over, handing me a glass of juice.
"You guys can only play until sunset, we need to leave and go back when it gets dark." He smiled as he watched them all have a great haul.
"Senior Ayers, over here~" There's never a moment's peace. I stood up and walked over to Hermione to help her unhook the fish from its mouth.
After the sun went down, we could start to see the moon overhead, but the light wasn't very good for us anymore.
"Alright, everyone needs to stop and pack up. We're getting ready to go back." I clapped my hands to remind them that it was time to leave.
"What a great day, Harry! Look how many fish I caught!" Ron happily put away his fishing rod and tidied up his things.
I don't know if it's because Ron has been in contact with our small group more now, but he has corrected many of his bad habits. Now he can tidy up and organize himself when he does anything.
"That's great, Ron. I think if I had a little more time, I could catch even more fish." Harry finished packing his things and felt a special kind of joy looking at the lively fish in the bucket.
He had never experienced the joy of fishing before; this was his first time fishing.
"Hehe, Senior Ayers, look how amazing I am today! I caught so many fish!" As a pure-blooded nobleman, Draco was participating in such a fishing activity for the first time. Always required to maintain noble etiquette, he had never enjoyed such a pastime before.
"Wow, Draco's doing great, catching so many fish today!" I was really going to flatter him; who wouldn't like praise, right?
“We’re just as good, aren’t we?” Hermione and Ginny murmured to each other, thinking that the fish they caught were quite good too.
"Alright, we need to head back now." I hadn't caught many fish, so my things were the lightest.
They caught quite a lot of fish, and they cast a 'levitation spell' on the buckets they used to hold the fish, of course, using a staffless spell.
I walked in front carrying the kerosene lamp, and Cedric walked at the back carrying another kerosene lamp. Then we went back the way we came.
When we all returned to that camping tent, which was blue except for the top and surrounded by a transparent membrane.
"Take all your fish to the kitchen. I'll go clean up and make dinner. You can wander around the area on your own, but don't go too far. We have activities planned for tonight after dinner." I directed them to move the buckets to the area around the kitchen so I could prepare the fish they had caught.
"Ayers, let me help you too." As students of Badger House, they all know how to cook, but their cooking is just so-so.
"You guys have fun, we'll go cook." With so many fish tonight, we didn't know what to make for dinner. After thinking it over, we decided to make a whole fish feast.
The whole fish feast, as the name suggests, is a grand banquet with fish as the main ingredient. I skillfully wielded the cleaver, cutting into various parts of the fish with practiced ease, and with the various ingredients prepared by Butler Chen, I cooked up a series of delicious dishes that were excellent in color, aroma, and taste.
Each dish has a unique taste and flavor that leaves a lasting impression.
I was cooking there, and the whole RV and tent smelled delicious, so no one was in the mood to chat anymore.
The whole fish banquet features a wide variety of dishes, including steamed fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, grilled fish, and pan-fried fish.
Among them, steamed fish is the dish that best showcases the freshness of the fish.
After cleaning the fish, I made a few cuts on its body, put it in a steamer and steamed it until cooked. Then I drizzled it with special steamed fish soy sauce and sprinkled it with chopped green onions, shredded ginger and other seasonings.
The fish steamed in this way has tender flesh and a smooth texture, which greatly increases one's appetite.
Braised fish is a dish with a rich and flavorful taste.
I pan-fried the fish until golden brown on both sides, then added soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine, and other seasonings, and simmered until the sauce thickened. This dish is characterized by its tender fish, rich sauce, and mellow flavor.
Just as I finished making the braised fish, two people came up to me and started looking at it.
"Ayers, it smells so good." Fred stood beside me watching me pack the dishes.
"Here, have a taste." I smiled and picked up a clean chopstick, placed a piece of fish in his mouth, and fed it to him.
"It's so delicious." Fred thought the fish was really delicious and picked up his chopsticks to take another bite.
"Alright, time to eat." I picked up a lid and covered the braised fish.
Next up is sweet and sour fish, a delicious dish with a sweet and sour flavor.
I fried the fish until golden brown and crispy, then drizzled it with sweet and sour sauce.
This dish is characterized by its crispy exterior and tender interior, sweet and sour flavor, and is very appetizing.
“Ayers, I want some too.” This time it was George, who was standing on my other side.
Treating everyone equally, I also used clean chopsticks to give George a bite.
"It's so delicious!" George exclaimed happily after sneaking a bite.
Finally, there's grilled fish, a dish that's very popular among young people.
After marinating the fish, I baked it in the oven until it was golden brown.
This dish is characterized by its tender fish and spicy flavor, making it a perfect match for beer.
In addition to the common dishes mentioned above, the whole fish banquet also includes many other specialty dishes, such as fish balls, fish dumplings, and fish cakes.
These dishes are all made with fish, and they are delicious and nutritious.
I made a small amount of each of them, making sure not to waste any food, just to try them out.
The whole fish feast offers a rich variety of flavors, including tender, smooth, crispy, and spicy.
Each dish has a unique taste and flavor that leaves a lasting impression.
Steamed fish has a tender and smooth texture, braised fish has a rich and mellow flavor, sweet and sour fish has a sweet and sour taste, and grilled fish has a spicy and crispy texture.
Of course, a pot of delicious fish head tofu soup is indispensable. Steaming hot, it warms you up quite a bit after drinking it.
Looking at the table full of food, I felt a little satisfied.
"Ayers, the food is ready," Cedric, who was helping me, said to me.
"Go wash your hands and eat quickly." The dishes were placed on a round table in the tent outside.
"I've already brought the bowls and chopsticks." Cedric brought them over.
"Wow~ It looks delicious." Hermione pulled Ginny over to help set the table.
"Come on, make way, I'm bringing the rice over." Fred brought over a large pot of cooked rice.
"The dishes are here too." George also helped bring over the cooked dishes.
"It smells so good!" Harry said, bringing over a pot of soup as well.
"Sit down and eat." After eating with me so many times, they all learned how to use chopsticks.
"Ayers, I don't know how to use this." Draco rarely eats with us, and he's the only one who doesn't know how to use chopsticks.
"Then you can eat with this. Sit next to me, and I'll get you some food later." Everyone else knows how to use chopsticks, and they don't get along very well with Draco, so I'll take care of them.
"Okay." Most of the people here are Gryffindor, and Draco and they don't get along. I'll stick with Ayers. Luckily, Ayers is Slytherin.
After everyone sat down, we happily ate dinner, during which a food-grabbing frenzy ensued.
It's about Fred and his brother Ron fighting over a fish ball, but neither of them got to eat it; it ended up in Harry's bowl.
We all burst out laughing at their farce, even Draco was covering his mouth and chuckling to himself.
Finally, I cut some fruit, and we chatted while eating it to aid digestion.
"Do you guys want to take a shower? If not, Ginny and I will go take a shower first," Hermione said to the group of men, pulling Ginny along.
Because the bathrooms are two separate rooms, you need to take a shower outside the room.
"You guys go ahead, we'll chat here," I said to Hermione and the others with a smile.
"Okay." Hermione then pulled Ginny back to the RV to take a shower.
"Ayers, can we go out and have some fun?" Fred couldn't stand being alone; he wanted to go out and play after sitting for only a short while.
"It's not impossible, but it might be a bit dangerous. Butler Chen said that there are wild unicorns in this forest, and it seems that a dragon also lives here." I have absolutely no interest in Western dragons.
"What? There's a dragon here!" The group was stunned. For boys, creatures like dragons are very attractive.
"Is it a dragon like you?" Draco, sitting behind me, whispered in my ear.
“No, it’s a Western dragon, and my incarnation is an Eastern dragon. We don’t look the same,” I whispered to Draco.
"Ayers, could you take us to see it?" Harry asked me, not wanting to see Draco and me whispering to each other across the street.
"At this time? It's not impossible." I took out the pocket watch I was carrying. It was still quite early; I could go out for a stroll.
"Let's go, let's go play." Fred was happiest when he could go out and play again.
"I'll tell Hermione and the others first, otherwise they'll be terrified if they don't see us when they come out of the shower." It seemed like the two girls probably didn't really want to go on this kind of adventure together.
I opened the RV door and said to Hermione and Ginny inside, "Hermione, Ginny, we might need to go out and play for a while. You two wait for us in the RV."
“Okay,” Hermione and Ginny replied from the bathroom.
I closed the RV door and led the group out of the tent.
"How do we find the dragon?" Cedric asked curiously.
"Wait a minute, let me summon some animals to see if there are any nearby that can give us a ride," I said with a smile.
He merged with the blood of the elven race, transforming into a silver-haired elven youth with a slender and elegant figure.
Her long, silver hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, shimmering in the soft moonlight.
Each strand of hair looks as if it were woven from the purest silver threads, delicate and smooth.
My ears are pointed and slightly upturned, revealing my elven lineage.
Her face became delicate and beautiful, and her skin was as white as alabaster.
His eyes were deep and bright, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
His eyes held a mysterious aura, as if he could see through everything.
Her casual clothes transformed into a green robe embroidered with exquisite patterns that seemed to be masterpieces of nature, blending perfectly with her body.
A golden belt was tied around his waist, with a dazzling gem set in it. The gem emitted a mysterious light, as if it contained endless power.
A pair of beautiful wings unfolded behind her, shimmering with a pale blue light, like stars in the night sky.
The wings are shaped like butterfly wings, broad and elegant, with graceful curves along the edges.
The surface of the wings is as smooth as a mirror, without any flaws, as if they were made of the purest crystal.
When I gently flapped my wings, a soft humming sound filled the air, as if I were having a conversation with nature.
The wings are also adorned with some fine patterns, which resemble mysterious runes and exude an ancient and powerful force.
Draco, Fred, and George were still captivated by my outfit; I looked absolutely stunning in the moonlight.
Harry, Ron, and Cedric were seeing me dressed like this for the first time, and they were also confused by my appearance.
“summons,” I murmured.
The pleasant sound waves drifted far, far away on the wind, and suddenly a few green lights appeared in the surrounding grass.
Several large wolves approached, and Fred and his men immediately surrounded me.
"Don't be nervous, they are all summoned by me. Wait behind me for a moment." I pulled the people blocking my way behind me.
"Could you help me find that dragon in the forest? I want to go see it," I said to the leader of the pack in wolf language.
"Yes, please come with us." The lead wolf was the alpha of the pack. He could sense a gentle aura emanating from me, and he felt comfortable being close to me, so he granted my request.
"Thank you, could you give us a ride?" I reached out and stroked the wolf king's big head.
"Good." The wolf king liked my petting and coaxed his people behind him.
Several wolves behind it lowered their four legs, inviting us to sit on them.
“Find the right wolf and get on it, and they will take us there,” I said to the group of people behind me.
When I was chatting with the wolf king in wolf language, they were already stunned. They didn't expect me to be so talented, knowing wolf language too.
