Chapter 302 - 302 302 Shouldnt I be the one cooking congee

Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Shouldn’t I be the one cooking congee while you go fishing? Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Shouldn’t I be the one cooking congee while you go fishing? “You’re staying this far away?” Qin Yize raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, “Are you still afraid I’m going to eat you?”

“Do you have that big of a stomach?”

“It doesn’t matter if my stomach isn’t big, I can always eat a little bit at a time,” he said with a meaningful tone.

“Qin Yize, I’ve discovered you’ve changed.”

“It’s not that I’ve changed, this has always been another side of me, and now you’re getting to see it,” Qin Yize said, raising his eyebrows, “Qiaoqiao, you’re very lucky.”

“Alright…” Gu Qiaoqiao retorted, “I don’t want to listen to you spout nonsense, what did you want to see me for?”

“It’s noon already. The two elders probably aren’t very hungry, but it’s uncomfortable to travel on an empty stomach. Go catch some fish. There’s a military pot in the trunk, and I have a jar of rice here. Cook them some rice porridge…” Qin Yize arranged without any confusion.

They still had rice?

Gu Qiaoqiao looked up in surprise, but she saw Qin Yize’s eyes that seemed to hide flames, staring at her intensely.

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t maintain eye contact with such an intense gaze for more than three seconds, and embarrassingly averted her gaze.

When she heard his soft chuckle, she turned her head and glared at Qin Yize, “Shouldn’t it be me cooking the rice porridge and you going to fish?”

“My technique isn’t as accurate as yours, I’m worried about embarrassing myself…”

As he spoke, Qin Yize opened the trunk and took out the iron pot and a cloth bag, which seemed to contain a jar.

Then he handed Gu Qiaoqiao a recently sharpened fish spear, “Try this, it’s even more useful than the last one.”

Gu Qiaoqiao took the spear, blinked her eyes, and didn’t know what to say.

Qin Yize, however, stopped paying attention to Gu Qiaoqiao and walked toward the clearing by the river.

Gu Qiaoqiao gripped the fish spear and looked at the four middle-aged and elderly people of varying ages not far away. With no time to be sentimental, she hurriedly went to the riverbank.

There were no signs of human life for miles around here.

In its early days of development, the Great Northern Wilderness was a place where roe deer were beaten down, fish were scooped up with ladles, and wild chickens flew straight into cooking pots.

Although it is not exactly as the jingle describes now, it’s pretty close.

Standing by the river, one could hear a variety of sounds from the forest.

Aside from bears, no other creatures here went after the fish in this big river.

So, the fishes formed into large groups. Although not big in size, they had a delicious and fresh taste with not a hint of earthiness.

They were perfect for making sliced fish porridge.

And they were also suitable for these middle-aged and elderly people.

Gu Qiaoqiao effortlessly caught six fish.

By this time, Qin Yize had already made a fire and started boiling water for the porridge.

Handing the porridge pot to Zhao Yuxiang, Qin Yize went to the riverbank and squatted by Gu Qiaoqiao’s side, taking the initiative to clean the fish.

His military knife was very sharp, a few quick swipes skilfully cleaned a fish.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to engage with him, but seeing the military knife, she couldn’t help but ask, “Your knife has only been used to scrape fish scales and hasn’t done anything else, right?”

Qin Yize paused, glancing sideways at the girl beside him.

His eyes were deep and heavy.

After a few moments, he slightly smiled, “It has also peeled apples and, earlier, it whittled sticks.”

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at him steadily for a moment. Qin Yize at this moment, with his cold demeanor, was different from the one by the car who smiled like a spring breeze.

Right now, his features were as impassive as they usually were.

Despite his young age, Qin Yize’s life experiences were worlds apart from those his age.

Perhaps, this is truly living life to the fullest.

Gu Qiaoqiao said no more, bowing her head to continue cleaning the fish.
