Chapter 31
Everyone was very interested in the flame-emitting rack in front of them.
Song Yuxing replied, "This is a barbecue grill. There are four more at the hotel reception desk. They're equipped with harpoons and fishing nets, so you can catch fish from the river."
She spoke briefly, and someone immediately ran into the hotel and brought out a barbecue grill.
The one who reacted the fastest was a child of about 17 or 18. He looked around, then came to her side with a shy smile.
“Can I put the grill next to you, please?”
Song Yuxing nodded indifferently, "Sure, it's not like I'm the only one here anyway."
The child's eyes lit up immediately. He chose a seat diagonally opposite her. From this position, he only needed to look up to see her grilling the fish. It can be said that he was very smart.
There were only four barbecue grills in the entire place, and the child was the only one who grabbed the grill. The remaining three were all adults.
Many parents also wanted to grab some, but they were with their children and couldn't leave, so they could only watch the barbecue grill light up.
But no matter who they were, almost everyone's eyes were inadvertently glancing in the direction of the girl.
The fierce flames roasted the fish meat, and the fish oil overflowing from the surface dripped into the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound. Then smoke came out and drifted away with the wind, and the smell of spices also spread to the greatest extent.
It smells really good.
Everyone took a deep breath, the adults swallowed frantically, and the children were much more straightforward. They were moved to tears by the fragrance and made a fuss at their parents while crying.
"Mom, I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish."
"Dad, this smells really good. These fish must be delicious, right?"
…
Parents were quite troubled. Some parents patiently coaxed their children, saying, "Good boy, haven't you already eaten? You'd better not eat anymore."
Her child didn't care about that. "No, I just want to eat it. I haven't eaten this kind of fish before."
Being pestered by her own child, the parent rubbed her forehead with a headache. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the barbecue grill closest to her, and her eyes met with the girl in front of her.
She hesitated for a while, thinking of her child, and finally mustered up the courage to speak to the girl cautiously, "Well, can I buy a fish from you with my star coins?"
There was a hint of embarrassment and embarrassment in her tone.
This was the first time she asked for help from someone. In this era, the distance between people was very far, and everyone's attitude towards each other was very cold and indifferent. It was extremely painful for her to make such a request rashly.
Her face flushed red, but unexpectedly, the girl in front of her just raised her head and glanced at her lightly, then nodded in agreement.
"Yes, but only half. I want to eat the other half myself."
Song Yuxing took out a knife, cut the grilled fish in front of him in half, and handed it to the parent.
"Just give me 15 star coins." She said casually.
This was definitely the cheapest thing she had ever bought.
The parent carefully took the half grilled fish and expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"Thank you." She could tell that the girl shared her food because she was bringing a child.
Because the grilled fish was still very hot, the parent blew on it for a while, then gently tore off a little from it and fed it to the child next to him.
The grilling process of grilled fish is not complicated. The torn grilled fish meat is attached to the skin. Some parts of the skin are slightly black, but it has a burnt aroma when put into the mouth, and it is not bad.
The fish meat was tender and juicy, with almost no small fish bones. Not much chili was sprinkled on it, mainly for seasoning. But with such a simple grilled fish, the little boy felt that he had tasted the most delicious food in the world.
"Mom, it's really delicious." The little boy couldn't wait for his mother to let it cool down, so he jumped up impatiently, trying to reach the remaining grilled fish.
He jumped up and down like a monkey, and his parents were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They quickly comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, these are all yours."
She fed the child little by little, but half a fish was still a little too little, and the child finished it in less than 10 minutes.
The little boy held his empty stomach, still wanting more: "Mom, I want to eat more."
Where can I find another one here?
The parent was a little worried, but facing her child's expectant eyes, she turned around and looked at Song Yuxing again.
But unlike the first time, this time the girl's grill was surrounded by people. Listening carefully, they were all asking her to make grilled fish for them.
Song Yuxing was so annoyed by the disturbance that she simply waved her hand and said, "There's no fish left. If you want to eat, just catch some and grill it yourself."
These words were originally meant to dissuade everyone, but unexpectedly, when they heard these words, they all jumped into the river with a "wow".
There were a lot of fish in the river, but they ran very fast. Some smart ones took off their coats and fished in the river, and caught two or three fish.
Others saw this and tried the same thing, but some were slow to stop and the fish dodged them nimbly every time, making others laugh.
On a night lit by fireflies, the river shimmers and the atmosphere is so harmonious and lively that it seems unreal.
No one would hate this kind of excitement. China Paradise brought them so much joy and they were very happy.
There was a smile on everyone's face.
The sounds of children running around and laughing, the crackling of fish grilling on the charcoal fire, at this moment everyone seemed to have forgotten the troubles in real life and the torture of mental breakdown. They even learned without any instruction, formed the barbecue grill into a circle, and started dancing an unknown dance.
No one drank, but everyone was drunk.
Song Yuxing was sitting in the corner at the moment. She had given her barbecue grill to someone else long ago. After eating, she didn't want to do anything, so she leaned lazily against the tree trunk behind her, watching everything with a smile on her face.
This was the most comfortable day she had ever had since she came to this world.
It’s hard to describe my current mood. I feel happy and emotional. This atmosphere is like returning to the original world. Everyone gathers together to celebrate. This is the atmosphere that has evolved from Chinese civilization over a long period of time, and it is not found in other civilizations.
Thinking of this, the smile on her lips deepened.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene." A low voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Song Yuxing was caught off guard. She turned around abruptly and found a man appearing in an unnoticed corner.
Song Yuxing, who originally thought she was the only one here: ...
As if noticing her gaze, the man took a step forward, his features illuminated by the fireflies.
The man was tall and handsome, but strangely, his face looked much paler than that of an ordinary person. Even his lips were pale and bloodless. It seemed that he was in very poor health.
Where did this sick beauty come from?
Song Yuxing was wondering when the man suddenly smiled at her.
"Hello, Miss 007."
Hearing what he said, Song Yuxing raised her eyebrows slightly. She crossed her arms over her chest and said after a long while, "You recognized the wrong person, didn't you?"
"I didn't admit my mistake." The man coughed lightly. Perhaps he was a little tired, so he sat down next to her and leaned against the tree trunk like her.
He spoke slowly, "I'm from the research institute. I came here to thank you. Thank you for giving me the ticket to the research institute. Otherwise, I would still be asleep."
Song Yuxing then remembered that he had sold the tickets to the research institute before.
I remember that the researcher who handed over the work to her at that time said that it was going to be given to a powerful person.
In fact, at this point, she already knew the identity of the person in front of her.
"Qin Shengmo?" she asked.
The man in front of him nodded slightly.
It turned out to be him.
The most extraordinary genius in the institute, with SSS-level mental power, has been in the institute for five years and has personally researched more than a dozen projects. His achievements have played an important role in the Federation to this day, and he is a talent that the Federation cannot afford to lose.
But since last year, there have been rumors that he had to fall into a deep sleep due to a mental breakdown.
I didn’t expect that the ticket was given to him before.
Song Yuxing couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known earlier, I would have sold the tickets at a higher price."
He never expected that her first words after his identity was exposed would be this. Qin Shengmo smiled and asked, "Why?"
Song Yuxing blinked. "Your life is so valuable, it's not too much for me to charge a little more, right?"
You have to know that his life can be sold for tens of billions on the black market, and she only raised the ticket price. Compared with the black market price, she suffered a huge loss.
Amused by her logic, the man couldn't help laughing again, but he only laughed briefly. The itchy feeling in his throat became more and more severe, and he started coughing again.
Seeing him like this, Song Yuxing was thinking quietly on the side.
It is said that when a person's mental breakdown reaches a certain level, his eyes will turn red and he will become crazy. However, apart from being in poor health, the man in front of him did not seem to show any of these symptoms.
Just judging by the bulging veins on his hands when he just coughed, it was obvious that this man was an extremely patient person.
He is a ruthless person.
Song Yuxing silently came to a conclusion in his heart, and Qin Shengmo's coughing had gradually stopped.
"I'm sorry, I was a little rude just now." He looked at her apologetically.
Song Yuxing shook her head. "He's sick, I understand."
Perhaps not wanting to dwell on this matter too much, the man changed the subject.
"Well, I came here not only to thank you, but also to ask you to cooperate with the research institute."
"The research institute has a collection of materials on Chinese civilization."
