"What a waste! They only eat meat, they don't know how to change the menu. Fish soup is so delicious!" Guo Xiaoxiao said.
"I especially love eating fish, and... water monsters."
Youkel couldn't imagine what the water-eating beast looked like, reminding her...
"Be careful when you eat it; it has a lot of thorns and smells terrible. Take it back first, and I'll figure out how to deal with it."
Mikel's only thought was to pick out the bones one by one, but he completely underestimated how dense the fish's bones were.
Guo Xiaoxiao excitedly carried the fish back to the cave, completely abandoning her important business.
Mikel followed behind her, and seeing her happy expression, a warm feeling rose in his heart as well.
Back to the cave
Mickelson was making a fire and cooking lunch in the cave. The two of them happily entered the cave carrying fish, just as they bumped into each other.
"Brother, you're back!"
Mikel saw Mikexon grilling meat. Mikexon, seeing the two of them, showed no unusual expression and stood up.
"Namikel, I'm going to organize a hunting trip. You stay and play with Xiaoxiao."
After saying that, he walked past the two of them and left directly.
"…elder brother"
Mikel called out to Mikexson, but he didn't respond. Mikel then asked Guo Xiaoxiao...
Is my brother a little unhappy today?
Guo Xiaoxiao looked in the direction Mickson had left and said
He hasn't wanted to talk to me since yesterday.
"Don't want to talk to you? Are you kidding me?" Mikel said.
"Why?"
"It's my fault, don't ask anymore."
Guo Xiaoxiao listlessly put the fish down and fell silent.
Seeing her like this, Mikel didn't dare to ask any more questions, assuming that Enkesen had discovered Guo Xiaoxiao's abilities in some way. Anyway, the two of them were always under his nose, so figuring out the situation would be easy.
"Let's eat the meat first."
"kindness"
Guo Xiaoxiao nodded sullenly, feeling down for a moment, but the joy of eating fish quickly overshadowed her feelings.
She took a bag of dried chili peppers from her suitcase. She was going to Africa for a trip and was worried about not being able to get used to the local food, so she brought some seasonings with her, including Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.
Mikel placed several large, still-living fish in the puddle, then caught the fattest one and prepared to use a bone knife to remove its spines.
Guo Xiaoxiao immediately realized that his method was wrong. Wouldn't shaving like this result in a mess?
She was directing from the side.
"Use the back of the knife to tap the scales on the fish's tail, scraping in a clockwise circular motion. Don't rush. When you feel it's almost done, then cut it open to remove the internal organs..."
Listening to Guo Xiaoxiao's detailed and patient explanation, Mikel followed along, and it turned out quite interesting. He picked it up quickly and cleaned the fish in just a few moments.
Mikel held the cleaned fish in his hand. There was hardly any meat left. How was he supposed to eat it?
"Female, are you sure you're talking about a water-eating beast?"
Mikel expressed doubts
"Of course, it's delicious. Now, bring over that stone pot and put it on top, I'll cook it."
Guo Xiaoxiao volunteered to cook, and just thinking about the fragrant aroma of the spicy fish made her mouth water; it looked absolutely delicious.
It's a pity there were too few seasonings, only dried chili peppers and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. It would have been better if there was salt. However, the chili powder mixed in with the dried chili peppers could act as salt, so it's better than nothing.
Mikel cut the fish into small pieces as Guo Xiaoxiao had instructed, put them in a stone pot, and added water.
Guo Xiaoxiao waited for the water to boil, then added dried chili peppers and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. Since the fishy smell hadn't been removed, adding more chili peppers wouldn't mask the odor.
But as soon as the chili peppers and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce hit the pan, you could immediately smell a delicious aroma.
Mikel sniffed, marveling, "It's amazing! I never knew water beasts could eat like this."
Guo Xiaoxiao has many secrets. She just sprinkled something on it, and it smelled so good. Mikel secretly watched Guo Xiaoxiao, pondered for a moment, and then looked away.
Guo Xiaoxiao was completely absorbed in the fish soup, her hands clenched into fists as she eagerly awaited its cooking.
Simple seasonings, simple cooking, yet it has a 21st-century flavor. It's certainly not as delicious as what you usually make, but it's still a rare treat.
It's cooked.
Steaming hot fish soup wafts out, its rich aroma filling the air, intoxicating the senses.
"It smells so good! It really smells so good!"
Guo Xiaoxiao licked her lips, her mouth watering, and couldn't help but swallow. The only drawback was the lack of a stone bowl; she would have a set of bowls and chopsticks made just for her later.
Seeing that Guo Xiaoxiao was really craving it, Mikel still reminded her...
Be careful, there are thorns inside.
Guo Xiaoxiao took out two large leaves she had just picked in the jungle from her bag, gave one to Mikel, and then used a skewer to skewer fish meat, placing it on Mikel's leaf and her own leaf.
Mikel smelled the delicious aroma but didn't know how to eat it. Many years ago, during a winter when food was scarce, some orcs caught water beasts to eat and got them choked, suffering terribly.
Guo Xiaoxiao then personally demonstrated for Mikel, taking a bite and pulling out the large bone from the fish, then setting the bone aside.
Mikel followed suit, biting off the fish bones. The delicate, petal-like texture of the fish meat in her mouth, blooming on her tongue, made her want to swallow it whole.
"It smells so good..."
She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. The fish was soft, tender, smooth, and juicy.
Guo Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and savored the delicious food.
"Is it delicious?"
Mikel looked at her like that and laughed happily. At that moment, he suddenly felt that having a partner wasn't such a bad thing.
Moreover, Guo Xiaoxiao is different from the other females. Which female would personally cook for the male? In their eyes, it's disrespectful for a male to make such a request, and they might even be reprimanded.
"...It's really delicious..."
Guo Xiaoxiao ate the fish, constantly praising how delicious it was. She had forgotten the delicious food she had eaten before; now her mind was completely filled with the fish.
Mikel sat opposite Guo Xiaoxiao, watching her blissful expression and smiling broadly. Before they knew it, the two of them had finished the whole pot of fish in a few bites.
Guo Xiaoxiao touched her round belly and sighed.
"Being full makes me feel comfortable."
Mikel rubbed his stomach; it had been a long time since he'd eaten like this. It was truly a treat. He only felt the food was delicious, not that he was full. Fish and meat weren't enough to satisfy his appetite; he'd have to have another meal later.
Oh dear, Guo Xiaoxiao immediately sighed inwardly, "Oh no, I should have left some for Mikeson! How come he ate it all..."
What are you worried about?
Seeing her looking worried, Mikel asked with concern...
"Uh...it's nothing, it's just...nothing."
Guo Xiaoxiao's hesitant response
"Female, my brother is very busy. If you two have a fight, don't upset Maomixon. He's been very tired lately."
After Mikel finished speaking, he conscientiously washed the stone pot clean and put it back in its place.
