I Am A Prodigy

The program was titled Life’s Struggle, but frankly there was nothing much to struggle about. Everyone just sat and chatted together in a very leisurely manner. Most of the time, they either ate or played, and the environment there was very good. It was undoubtedly what everyone regarded to be an ideal life.Ye Lingchen cooked lunch at a moderate pace. Since there were three fishes, he might as well make an entire feast out of fish using three different methods.

Cooking, steaming, and fish soup.

Those three fish were very big, so even if there was only one fish in each dish, it would not feel too unpresentable.

The two girls followed Ye Lingchen continuously. Although the fish had yet to be cooked, they watched Lingchen’s preliminary handling of the dish. Various condiments were arranged in an orderly manner with the fish.

Ye Lingchen’s cooking made people feel pleasant. There was no arrogance or rashness, only fluidity.

He would always prepare all the ingredients and materials before cooking and arrange them in such an order. That was his habit to prevent any rushing.

The corners of those two women’s mouths were already coated in crystal-clear saliva. They looked like impatient, greedy cats.

“Lingchen, why haven’t you started cooking yet. How long do you need to prepare?”

“These are fish that we caught with our hard work. Every fish is the result of our hard work. I believe you’ll make the most delicious fish in the world!”

The two women mumbled in Ye Lingchen’s ear constantly, like Tang the Monk.

Ye Lingchen did not feel like speaking anymore. He looked at He Jia. “He Sensei, do you have any earplugs? My ears are getting calluses.”

Several people next to him laughed and Huang Lei said, “Look, these two girls are practically forcing God Ye to insanity.”

“Liangying and Yue’er, you guys should stop and let God Ye rest. I’ve listened to both of you chant at least ten times,” He Jia said.

“We can’t wait. A lot of my hard work and sweat went into these fish. It’s only natural for me to supervise.” Zhao Liangying pouted.

Ye Lingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head before saying helplessly. “I’ll only ask you one question. What hard work and sweat did you put into this fish?”

Hu Yue’er’s small face wrinkled slightly, and she was very dissatisfied with Ye Lingchen’s words. “I don’t like hearing what you said. You’re staying mum about my efforts!”

“It’s our hard work!” Zhao Liangying emphasized from the side. “This is the result of all three of our hard work. I endured the coldness of the pool and stood in the water. Yue’er also provided you with her jade pendant. Can you catch these three fishes without us?”

“I sure can!”

Ye Lingchen remarked earnestly, “You two didn’t have any substantive contribution besides being amazed. Simply put, you both acted as though it was none of your business. Even if I bring those four with me, they’ll at least be more useful than you two.”

He said while pointing to the four Shiba Inus in the corner.

There were many animals in the Mushroom Hut to further enhance the closeness to rural life and make the environment warmer.

“You’re insulting our character! How could you compare us with a dog?” Hu Yue’er asked angrily.

Ye Lingchen immediately shook his head to deny it. “You’re accusing me wrongly. In my heart, those four dogs aren’t as important as one of you.”

“That’s more like it.” Zhao Liangying nodded in satisfaction.

“Hey, do you think being more important than a dog is something to be proud of? You’re still being mentioned in the same breath as a dog, aren’t you?” Hu Yue’er was amused and unhappy at such her terrible teammate Zhao Liangying.

[Pfttt, hahaha, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to laugh myself to death.]

[Baby Ying is so funny. She’s adorably clueless.]

[Her little brain can’t work properly. If she really was together with God Ye, would she not be led around in circles?]

[The previous poster is a fan that’s in love and heartbroken.]

…

The people in the live stream were all amused, as was the program crew.

“Okay, if you really want to help me, then go and start the fire. I’m almost done. The three fish are ready to be cooked,” Ye Lingchen said quickly when he saw the two girls surrounding him.

It would inevitably affect his cooking if they continued to chatter.

“Okay!” Zhao Liangying and Hu Yue’er’s eyes lit up. Finally, they were able to help Ye Lingchen.

With a big sigh of relief, Ye Lingchen poured oil into the pot and made the braised fish first.

The Mushroom Hut used a traditional stove instead of a gas stove, which necessitated firewood. A centrifugal fan was used to control the heat from time to time, and the stove was placed on a large pot.

The structure was obviously not as convenient as a gas stove, but food that was cooked using it would turn out much more delicious than using a gas stove. In particular, braising it in brown sauce would make it very tasty.

“Lingchen, how is this? Is this enough heat?” Zhao Liangying added a piece of wood to the stove and asked.

“Almost. Just turn up the heat a bit more,” Ye Lingchen smiled and said.

“Okay, look at me.” Zhao Liangying smiled and felt very satisfied with herself. She continued to add firewood to the stove.

Show-off!

Hu Yue’er’s delicate nose twitched slightly and she snorted. In the same manner, she also threw a piece of firewood into the stove.

All she did was start a fire, right? There was no skill in doing so whatsoever, so what was there to take credit for?

Hostility between women usually came for no reason. The most important thing was that they were also very sensitive. Zhao Liangying immediately sensed Hu Yue’er’s scorn.

Seeing Hu Yue’er adding firewood to the stove, she suddenly became unhappy and picked up a piece of wood to throw in again.

Hu Yue’er was not to be outdone, of course. Both women threw in firewood one after another and were having fun.

Ye Lingchen’s brows furrowed slightly and had traces of confusion. The temperature in the pot was clearly lowering rather fast. “What’s going on? Why is the flame getting smaller and smaller?”

He glanced at the two women and saw that each of them was holding a piece of wood. Their eyes flashed with eagerness, as if ready to stuff the wood in at any time.

“What in the world? What are you doing?”

Ye Lingchen looked at the fire pit that was already full and his entire person became speechless.

“Fire needs oxygen. If you stuff it like this, I’ll be damned if there’s fire.” He slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly. “I shouldn’t let you into the kitchen.”

“How would I know? It’s already full of wood.” Zhao Liangying pouted and she glared at Hu Yue’er angrily. “You’re to blame for trying to vie with me.”

Hu Yue’er’s pretty face flushed but she did not want to display weakness. “It was you who desperately stuffed wood into it!”

“Okay, enough. You should both go out. Just sit on the table and wait to eat.” Ye Lingchen waved his hand.

Both Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying felt a bit aggrieved but still walked out of the kitchen obediently. The two sat on the table staring at each other. Neither spoke, as they were still putting on a show of strength to others.

It had to be acknowledged that it was very important to keep up one’s appearances.

Even if the two beautiful women bore grudges, people would still generally find them to be adorable and pleasant to the eye…
