"vomit……"
After taking the first bite, Hua Shi almost vomited.
What a strange smell...
The strong fishy smell is mixed with the thick burnt smell. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sticky and lingering fishy smell.
Hua Shi swallowed it with difficulty, and her mouth was filled with the fishy smell mixed with the bitter taste of burnt food.
She swore that this was the worst fish she had ever eaten in her life...
vomit……
"How is it? How is it? Is it delicious?" Xie Mingchi asked anxiously after seeing her swallow it.
Those bright eyes seemed to be looking forward to her reaction.
Hua Shi wiped the corner of his mouth, unable to bear to tell the truth, and nodded against his conscience, "Okay, eat..."
vomit……
My mouth is full of fishy taste.
"As long as they taste good! Then hurry up and eat them. I'll grill two more! I know you'll like them too."
As Xie Mingchi spoke, he stood up excitedly and made as if he was going to catch two more fish and put them on the grill to roast.
"No, no, no, I'm not hungry yet. You must be hungry. You eat first and I'll bake it for you. How about that?"
Hua Shi was startled and quickly reached out to pull him, giving a stiff smile.
Xie Mingchi blinked, his movements clearly hesitant.
"You're welcome. I'll do it."
Hua Shi said this, and without giving him a chance to refuse, she stuffed the two fish that had jumped out into his hands, stood up, picked up the two fish on the stone, turned around and walked to the stream.
Xie Mingchi looked at the fish in his hand, then looked at Hua Shi's back, and finally his gaze fell on the belly of the fish, where Hua Shi had just taken a bite. He paused for a moment and lowered his head to take a bite.
Hmm...
It's still very fragrant, and the taste is no different from what I ate before...
When I turned my back to the flowers, I heard the gnawing sound coming from behind me. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I couldn't help but prick up my ears to listen.
Uh...? It seems like he's enjoying the meal, and he's quite happy...?
Hua Shi turned around and looked behind her, and sure enough, she saw Xie Mingchi holding the grilled fish and chewing it with his head down, looking very happy, and it didn't look like he had tasted any difference in flavor.
this……
Hua Shi smacked his lips.
The lingering fishy smell and bitter taste of the fish she had just bitten still filled her taste buds.
No, she couldn't stand it, the smell was too strong...
I don’t know how Xie Mingchi did it. She held up the raw fish and smelled it, and the fishy smell didn’t seem strong. But after it was roasted, the fishy smell became stronger.
Hua Shi quickly cleaned two more fish. She didn't know what kind of fish they were. They had big heads and long bodies, but the meat was most in the belly.
Cut open the belly and clean out all the internal organs... There are very few fish bones, the kind that are thin and soft, with more meat than bones.
When she came back from the stream with the fish, Xie Mingchi had already eaten both fish clean, not even leaving out the soft bones.
Seeing Hua Shi coming back, he clapped his hands and said, "How about I do it?"
Hua Shi paused, dodged his outstretched hand, and said, "No, no need, I can do it, let you try my skills."
Xie Mingchi blinked his bright dark eyes.
In the wilderness, without seasonings or condiments, it's certainly difficult to grill a fish that will make your mouth water. However, at least ordinary grilled fish, even without seasonings, can still be grilled to be fragrant and glutinous without being full of fishy smell...
Time passed by little by little. Hua Shi turned the fish on the grill evenly. The cut fish belly had already given off the aroma of roasted oil. It looked crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and you could even smell the roasted aroma.
Hua Shi, who didn't feel hungry at first, swallowed unconsciously when she smelled the aroma of the meat.
Xie Mingchi, who was sitting opposite, had already smelled the aroma of roasted fish. His eyes went from wandering at first to sitting upright, staring intently, without moving away for a moment.
When Hua Shi glanced over inadvertently, she saw his straight upper body and tense and serious face.
If it weren't for his absent-minded eyes, Hua Shi would have mistakenly thought that he was on guard against something. Now... this dazed look made him look like a cat staring at fish.
"alright!"
Hua Shi's voice suddenly came out, and Xie Mingchi's pupils, which were staring at her, shrank, his eyelids trembled, and he looked towards her.
“Click.”
Hua Shi broke the wooden stick that held the two fish together in half and handed it to Xie Mingchi.
After the latter took it, he curved his eyebrows and smiled at her.
Hua Shi still had some confidence in his cooking skills, at least he wouldn't make the food worse than his.
The meat is roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside. When you take a bite, the skin is crispy and the meat is smooth. Although there is no spicy seasoning, the aroma of cooked fish instantly fills your lips and tongue...
tasty!
In the blink of an eye, the grilled fish in Xie Mingchi's hand was completely eaten.
"Delicious!" After finishing eating, he looked up at her and praised her.
Hua Shi looked at his eyes, which were wide open due to shock. The pupils seemed to have changed shape, and they did look a bit like a cat's round eyes.
When Hua Shi finished eating her fish, Xie Mingchi's eyes would fall on her from time to time.
The look in his eyes couldn't be hidden... he was drooling, and it was obvious that he wasn't full yet. He was pleasantly surprised by her cooking skills, but out of modesty, he didn't ask for more.
Hua Shi coughed lightly. Seeing that it was still early, he estimated the time to be around noon, so he suggested, "How about we grill a few more and eat and drink our fill before we take action?"
She remembered that Xie Mingchi had come into the mountains to look for the lost child. After eating and drinking, she naturally wanted to continue her search...
