Chapter 70



As he was talking, a slender fish suddenly jumped out of the pond and went directly into the bucket on Qin Fei's left hand side. Eino took a look and said, "Wow! Yugu! I didn't expect you have this kind of fish here!" He exclaimed.

Chang Jihai also narrowed his eyes: "It is said that the soup made from jade bones is similar to the legendary Qiongjiang Yulu. I didn't expect that we would have such a good fortune today."

“……” Although he learned a lot of common sense, Wenhe remained silent about these things he didn’t understand.

"This pond has had these since the beginning, but there aren't many of them. If it hadn't made the noise from them eating the bait, I wouldn't have been able to find them. I'm pretty lucky."

The jade bone is very small, only one finger long, and it is already a "big fish" that has grown for several years. Moreover, it has a natural mental shielding ability. It is transparent in the water and cannot be detected by the naked eye. It only makes tiny movements when it is eating. If you want to catch it, you must have strong mental power and excellent control to catch this slippery fish with mental power at the moment of discovery. If the mental power is not well controlled, this jade bone will dissolve into the water with a twist of its body and disappear without a trace.

Chang Jihai and Aino were both well aware of these conditions and had an intuitive understanding of Qin Fei's strength. At the same time, they thought about themselves... forget it, let's not think about it.

...Wen He, who knew nothing, seemed to have noticed something. He found nothing, but he did not expect that there were fish that his mental power did not discover, and only Qin Fei discovered them. However, thinking about his level, he felt relieved.

He walked forward and looked at the fish in the bucket, the water was so clear that he could see the bottom.

"Huh? Where's the fish?" he exclaimed.

"You can't spot fish like the Yugu in water with the naked eye. You can only see them by pouring out the water," Chang Jihai explained.

"How about we use it to make soup now?" Eno suggested.

"Let's do it ourselves. How about grilling the fish? We can use this jade bone to make soup." Qin Fei suggested.

"good."

"sure."

"I'll go to the small pond to see what kind of fish there is and bring some back," Wenhe said. The small pond contained fish that had been caught that day, and they were placed in the pond for the guests to choose from.

Qin Fei sent a message to Xi Yuan, and he, Aino's and Chang Jihai's female queens appeared together, bringing barbecue utensils and materials.

Soon, the rack was set up by three female insects. They were all good cooks, so doing this was no problem for them.

The charcoal is top-grade fish-scented wood, the best choice for grilling fish. It glowed red in a short while. Aino's female queen Su Shenyue quickly brushed the processed fish with sauce and put it on the shelf. Chang Jihai's female queen Yun Baihe is a gentle female insect with an ancient name. She is responsible for processing other ingredients on hand. It is impossible to grill fish and eat only the fish. Xi Yuan set up the pot and prepared to make fish soup. He put the ingredients in the pot first. Qin Fei took an empty basin, put a tablecloth that had been soaked in water on it, and slowly poured out the water. The other three male insects came over to watch.

As the water slowly drained away, a transparent little fish appeared on the tablecloth. Wen He was amazed. The fish was transparent throughout, with only a small section of bone in the middle faintly glowing jade-colored. The small fish mouth opened and closed in the air. Xi Yuan picked it up directly, carefully cut open its belly, and then put it into the boiling hot water.

Wen He was silent for a while, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity: "The fish is so small, why does it need such a big pot of water?" He gestured to the big pot in Xi Yuan's hand. The pot was almost as big as a bucket, and it was full of water.

Xi Yuan explained: "The soup made from jade bones is very delicious. A few years old small fish can make a big pot of it. This kind of soup needs more water to be diluted. It is not good if it is too thick. And the ingredients are not just jade bones." As he spoke, he put a small dish of fresh mushrooms.

As the water boiled, a umami smell gradually became stronger. Ino took a breath and said, "It lives up to its reputation."

Qin Fei saw that there was nothing he could do, so he invited them to grill fish together. It was more fun to do it yourself. Aino and Chang Jihai had never done it themselves before, but driven by the novelty and following the instructions of their female monarch, they also started to do it in a proper manner. The scene of four female insects grilling fish together attracted the attention of other male insects. Male insects usually just waited for food to be served, and it was rare for them to do it themselves.

But aren't they getting enough attention? It doesn't matter at all, they just do what they have to do.

As more and more fish were put on the grill, their skills became clear. Qin Fei and Wen He were the most skilled. The grilled fish smelled fragrant and looked good. Chang Jihai looked at Wen He in surprise. Qin Fei was fine, as he should have done it himself when he was missing. But Wen He had been spoiled and had that kind of personality when he lost his memory before. How could he grill fish?

After Qin Fei grilled the fish in his hand, he tore off a small piece and tasted it. It tasted good. Then the next moment he put the grilled fish close to Xi Yuan's mouth. Xi Yuan looked at the extra grilled fish near his mouth, smiling, and took a bite.

Aino and Chang Jihai seemed to be inspired, and they put their masterpieces into the mouths of their queens. They followed suit, hiding their surprise and joy and opening their mouths with smiles on their faces, as if they were eating some kind of delicacy.

Qin Fei took a look and decided to forget about Chang Jihai's, as it didn't look good and was full of holes. At least it didn't turn into coke. The ones in Eino's hand were already half burnt.

But as long as they can enjoy the cooking skills of their male master, they believe that no matter how bad the food tastes, they will swallow it with a smile. This can be judged from the heated gazes of the female insects around them. They, the male insects, were also stared at with resentful eyes by the male insects around them for several seconds.

Xi Yuan ate all the grilled fish fed by the male lord, and in return he picked up a piece of delicious mushroom from the boiling pot and put it to the male lord's mouth. Qin Fei opened his mouth subconsciously.

It had a very smooth taste as soon as it entered the mouth, and the fresh fragrance almost made Qin Fei swallow his tongue. He had eaten a lot of this kind of mushroom before, but never like today, he wanted to swallow his tongue as well.

"It's delicious! You should have one too."

The two of them were feeding each other here. Chang Jihai and Aino also brought their female monarchs over. They gathered around the pot, picked out the delicious mushrooms one by one, shared them, and praised them highly.

What made Wenhe feel awkward and uncomfortable was that the three couples around him ignored him, the light bulb, and exuded a pink bubble aura, and their intimate expressions. He was silently embarrassed and could only concentrate on eating without looking away.

The seven insects surrounded the pot and ate up all the ingredients inside. Then Qin Fei continued to put fresh ingredients into it, and they returned to the grill to continue their grilling of fish.

At this time, the three female insects all started to take action. They were very skilled in their movements. The grilled fish was golden all over and exuded an attractive luster, which was completely different from the original grilled fish with pits and charcoal-like appearance. Now it was the turn of the female insects to feed the male insects. Wenhe, the only single insect, sighed deeply. In this environment, he also wanted to have a partner to feed each other. However, when he saw that there were only men around him, as a steely earth soldier, he withdrew the idea of ​​finding a partner. He really couldn't do that to a man.

When they were half full, they finally returned to the delicious fish soup. This time they not only ate the seasoning inside, but also had a small bowl in front of each of them, which was filled with milky fish soup. Qin Fei picked it up and took a sip. The expression on his face was quite intoxicated. At this time, he understood why in the animations, for example, the judges in "The Cooking Master Boy" had expressions as if they had ascended to heaven after tasting the food. Although he was not so exaggerated now, it was true that after taking a sip of the soup, he felt comforted in his whole body and he really enjoyed it.

…………

Time passed like flowing water. Since Qin Fei officially entered the social circle, he has maintained a frequency of attending one or two banquets a month. As time went by, he would also send invitations to these "friends" he knew in his own club to get together.

If it is the birthday of the Qin family's Chong, a banquet will be held at Youwu Villa, and the nobles of the entire imperial capital will be invited to attend.

Gradually, the upper class of the entire insect race also had a deeper understanding of Qin Fei, the ninth-level male insect, and had a preliminary judgment of his character. Those who shared the same aspirations all had a very good opinion of Qin Fei. For male insects, Qin Fei was outstanding in strength, gentle in character, and had real abilities. His academic performance in school had always been excellent. Although he was not smooth in communication, he did not need to be smooth with his status.

As for the female insects, first of all, he insisted on having one male and one female, which made them naturally like him. Moreover, at every banquet, just from his attitude towards Xi Yuan, it can be seen that they have a good relationship and support each other. He is also polite to other female insects, without arrogance, and he will not avoid them like snakes and scorpions. In the eyes of the elders, he has a cheating bonus because he gave birth to two male insect cubs. Therefore, under this circumstance, Qin Fei's reputation in the upper class gradually spread and was accepted by them. They recognized his character and would invite him to some more private gatherings. In these interactions, he also met some friends with more similar values.

Chang Jihai, Aino, Wenhe, Li Cheng, a male insect from the Li family's side branch, Lan Xinghai, an ambitious male insect who was born a civilian but joined the military, and Lin Yefeng, who had to call him uncle. They were the best friends and formed a relatively close small group. They had one thing in common: they didn't like being male insects and relying on female insects for support. They wanted to find a place to settle down with their own strength. In other words, they didn't want to be a gigolo who lived off his wife, but wanted to have the ability to support his wife.

Ahem, Wenhe is the only exception. He is single, but he is not in a hurry. He says that his destiny has not yet arrived, so he turns a blind eye to the female insects who try to show their affection to him because they see that he has become a better person after he lost his memory.

This also brought him a lot of praise, saying that he had really turned over a new leaf and was determined to make progress.
