Chapter 572 - Qingqing Craves Fish (1) (2/2)

He had put a lot of heart into making this fish dish today, much more so than usual.

Curtis pressed Bai Qingqing’s head against his arms to block out the white air. “What do you want to eat? I’ll go out and find it.”

Bai Qingqing smacked her mouth and said weakly, “I still want to eat fish…”

“I’ll make a new pot right away!” Parker said happily, “Since you like to eat fish so much, this must be my baby. Hahaha…”

With that, he excitedly went off to catch another fish.

Sick of eating bland and fishy-tasting food, Bai Qingqing said to Curtis, “I want to eat spicy fish. Sour and spicy fish.”

“I’ll head into the mountains to find if there are red spikes. As for the sourness…” Curtis pondered a moment, then asked, “Do you want to add unripe fruits into the pot?”

“That will do as well, so long as it’s sour.” Bai Qingqing nodded repeatedly.

“That’s easy to find. I’ll go right away.” Curtis smoothed her hair and said gently, “Be good and stay under the tree. Don’t run about.”

“Got it.” Bai Qingqing couldn’t wait for him to leave. Watching their back views as they left, images of the various fish dishes she had ever eaten before ran through her mind.

There was the sour and spicy pickled fish that was oh-so-appetizing, the red and fiery chopped pepper fish, the juicy and rich-tasting sweet and sour fish…

Merely the thought of it made her salivate. Bai Qingqing sucked in her saliva and doodled pictures of fishes on the ground to curb her hunger.

Very quickly, Parker returned with fresh fish. Since Curtis had yet to return, he first marinated the fish using condiments.

After nearly another hour had passed, Curtis finally came back with a package wrapped in tree leaf.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly went up to him. “How did it go? Did you find it?”

Curtis looked ashamed as he opened the tree leaf package, revealing only a few green oranges inside.

“I found the red spike plants, but they had yet to grow out. I tasted the tree leaves, and it wasn’t at all spicy.”
