Chapter 662 I Am More Than Capable
Rhizone emerged from the lake, his clothes completely soaked through, but the presence of his catch transformed his usual timid presence into one of pride. He eagerly exclaimed, “I caught this fish myself. I need to go tell my mom!” His voice carried a new sense of ambition, reflecting the pride children often feel when they accomplish something significant.
Lysander couldn’t help but smile at the boy’s enthusiasm. “All right then, make it quick and remember to change your clothes.”
Like a swift breeze. Rhizone hurried off, delivering the fish to the kitchen before quickly returning in fresh attire. He managed only a brief exchange of greetings with Lysander and the others before dashing back to assist in the kitchen.
Shortly after, the alluring scent of fish stew began to fill the courtyard.
Feeling a bit restless after sitting indoors for a while, Lysander and Josiah decided to step outside to enjoy the view of the lotus flowers blooming in the lake.
As they meandered behind the kitchen wall, they overheard a woman speaking tenderly to the children. “Last time, all the fish in the lake were poisoned and died. We tried introducing new fry afterward, but none survived. It took quite some time for the water quality to improve enough to support fish again. There are still hardly any fish, almost none at all. We’ll serve the fish to the guests first tonight, but I will cook you guys some eggs instead.”
Nilou and Rhizone were almost overwhelmed by the delicious aroma of the fish stew, but upon hearing their mother’s plan, they obediently nodded, their mouths watering in anticipation yet restrained.
Lysander and Josiah paused mid–stride. They then stealthily approached the lake’s edge, moving silently throughout their journey.
When lunch was called in the courtyard, the table was already adorned with three dishes and a stew. The centerpiece was a fresh fish stew, enriched with lotus root, complemented by homegrown vegetables, scrambled eggs, and a stir–fry of cured meat with dried chili and beans.
Although the meal consisted of simple country fare, it showcased the best ingredients the household hail to offer.
During the meal, Lysander and Josiah focused primarily on the vegetables accompanying their rice. As for the aromatic fish stew, they each consumed less than half a bowl before politely indicating they were full.
The woman, noticing their restraint, appeared concerned. “Is this enough? Does it not suit your taste?” she asked, her voice tinged with worry, as she herself had barely touched the food she prepared, prioritizing her guests‘ satisfaction.
