The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 73 - 0: Little Fishing Expert
Chapter 73 - 073: Little Fishing Expert
Liu Yujiao put her hands on her hips and shouted in front of her yet-to-be-set-up tent, "Zhao He, have you set up the tent yet?"
"I'm taking a break, honey. We've been on the road all morning..."
"Jiang Nuo and Zhuo Yihang have already set theirs up."
"Those two are freaks, they don't count."
Liu Yujiao was speechless and could only use her trump card: "When they're done setting up, they'll go fishing. Don't you want to join?"
"Yes, I definitely want to go." Zhao He quickly returned to setting up the tent, "Little Brother Zhuo, give me a hand, will you?"
"What's in it for me?"
"Once we catch fish, I'll give you an extra one."
"Hah, as if I can't catch any myself."
"No, it's an extra one, so you can eat more. It wouldn't hurt to give one to your wife either."
...
There was still some time before the snake soup would be ready, but the aroma had already started wafting through, making Jiang He, who was still setting up the tent, swallow hungrily one by one.
Jiang He was secretly calculating in his mind: Now that they are a team, he wondered if he could get a taste of the snake meat and soup later?
At first, Jiang Nuo thought, how could anyone eat snake meat? But smelling the aroma, he suddenly felt like maybe snake meat wasn't that terrifying!
Then, he sat down beside the pot to keep watch, waiting to eat the meat and drink the soup.
"Honey, how much longer?"
"Almost." Mu Qiuniang occasionally checked the pot, adding some wild herbs, wildflowers, and wild fruits inside.
In Jiang Nuo's eyes, things that seemed completely inedible, once she added them, made the snake meat seem increasingly delicious.
Even the cameraman next to him couldn't help swallowing: He wondered if he might get to taste it later? After all, it was made by the God of Cooking, even getting a taste would be great...
Every pair of eyes present was fixed on that pot.
Finally, to everyone's expectation, Mu Qiuniang served a bowl to Jiang Nuo: "You can eat now."
"Ah, so hot..." Jiang Nuo was so eager that he almost cried when his tongue got burned.
If it weren't for the cameraman keeping an eye on the bowl, he might have missed it.
"Sister-in-law Jiang, Qiuniang, is there any for us?" Zhao He and the others hurried over.
"Bring your bowls." Mu Qiuniang said, holding the ladle.
Everyone, including the cameraman, rushed to hand over their bowls.
Zhao He looked disdainfully at the cameraman: "Brother Cameraman, you have boxed lunches to eat, and now you're coming to grab the food that we've struggled to make. That's not right, is it?"
"Exactly, Brother Cameraman, you're being unfair." Liu Yujiao chimed in.
The cameraman's face turned red, but he shamelessly held out his bowl, without saying a word.
Amidst everyone's envious gaze, the cameraman "snatched" the food from the celebrities.
This is too much!
That's mine, mine, mine...
Zhao He almost wanted to bite him.
Eating, drinking the hot soup, and eating happily and pleasantly at the same time, the more they ate, the more they wanted to eat. Everyone was sweating profusely, as if they had just taken a sauna. They almost started acting *********** as Mu Qiuniang ascertained that everyone who had eaten the fruit had sweated the toxins out. She then resumed her usual pretense of eating and secretly put more food from her bowl into Jiang Nuo's bowl.
"Honey, eat yourself, no need to keep giving it to me." Jiang Nuo indeed thought it was incredibly delicious, but his wife had worked so hard, he hoped she would eat more.
"I'm not hungry." Mu Qiuniang said, "Later, I'll make you something even better."
She thought the filming of this show was quite lacking, with not even food prepared. Luckily, she came with Jiang Nuo, or he would have gone hungry?
The more Mu Qiuniang thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became with the show crew that seemed intent on starving her husband.
Everyone's feelings were: it was so delicious that they almost wouldn't swallow, even the snake bones were chewed to pieces before swallowing.
Despite the appearance of a lot of snake soup, it couldn't withstand their numbers. One bowl each, and it was almost gone, even the bottom of the pot was scraped clean.
"Jiang Nuo, you really are lucky!" Zhao He sighed as he put down the bowl.
"Indeed!" Liu Yujiao concurred, "If I were a guy, we'd definitely be rivals in love!"
"Jiang, you god among men, I'm envious of you!" Zhuo Yihang looked longingly at his bowl.
"Jealous!" Liu Qingqing added.
Jiang He and Tao Xingni didn't say anything. The former was also jealous but had too much pride; the latter felt like her thunder was stolen and was quite unhappy.
Damn woman, just you wait!
Mu Qiuniang cooked, and Jiang Nuo volunteered to wash the pots and dishes. Of course, he only washed their own, while the other three families were responsible for their own.
"Let's go, my wife said there's a river up ahead, she just went to check it out." Jiang Nuo said, holding the pot.
"Wait, let me grab the fishing rod."
...
They came to the riverbank.
Surprisingly, the stream on the island wasn't shallow, with parts so deep they couldn't see the bottom. In the shallower areas, stones and aquatic plants were abundant, and there were even small fish swimming around (actually, these fish were put there by the show crew in advance).
"These seem to be carp?" Zhuo Yihang was somewhat unsure. Carp on a sea island?
"I failed biology and geography." Zhao He confessed.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can catch fish." Liu Yujiao cut off their dilemma.
"Smart wife." Zhao He said.
"Of course, who's wife do you think I am?"
Zhuo Yihang had fished before, but at that time he used store-bought bait, and now it seemed they didn't have bait?
"What do we use for bait?" Zhuo Yihang asked.
"Bait, don't you know that?" Zhao He replied matter-of-factly.
"I know it's bait, but what are we using for bait now?"
Zhao He suddenly realized that indeed, they had fishing rods but no bait.
Jiang He said, "Actually, you can use worms."
"Worms?" Liu Yujiao was a bit stunned, "You mean those disgusting little bugs?"
"I heard from others that in rural areas, they use worms for fishing." Jiang He said with a forced smile, feeling he had given the wrong idea.
Damn it! This was obviously revealing he came from the countryside, wasn't it?
Now people would know, how would he know worms could be used for fishing?
While Jiang Nuo was still troubled, Mu Qiuniang had already scooped a bowlful of something and started fishing with Jiang Nuo's rod.
"Honey, we don't have bait." Jiang Nuo stated.
"I do." Mu Qiuniang said, hanging a piece of what seemed to be plant meat on the hook.
"What is this?" Jiang Nuo was amazed, "Impressive, my wife!"
"Bait."
"I know it's bait, what's it made of?" Jiang Nuo was full of curiosity.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."
Jiang Nuo wanted to cry, "If you don't tell me, I understand even less."
Mu Qiuniang didn't reply to him. She couldn't possibly tell him she just grabbed some random plants and made it, right? Regardless of what the plant was, as long as some Spirit Food was secretly mixed in, they could always catch fish.
Compared to humans, animals are even more sensitive to food. Just sniffing it, they know it's beneficial to them.
Thus, while the other three families were preparing to dig for worms (even Jiang He joined them, because he didn't believe flowers or grass could catch fish), Mu Qiuniang's fishing rod moved.
"Honey, did you catch a fish?!" Jiang Nuo exclaimed in surprise.
Mu Qiuniang remained calm, "Yes!" If she didn't catch one, that would be strange.
Seeing Mu Qiuniang pull up one fish after another, while they had been fishing for ages without any response, Zhao He finally couldn't resist, thick-skinned, and approached to ask for bait.
