422 Simple and Boring (1/2)
Naturally, those dishes were incomparable to Ye Lingchen's dishes, so everyone focused on the three fish dishes. However, they were also considerate and would take some of Huang Lei's dishes too.
As they ate, Zhao Liangying was boasting about her contributions to catching the three fish happily. Most of the time was spent on her summarizing her experience when catching them.
”Lingchen, I've decided to catch more fish in the afternoon. That pool has a lot more fish. With our ability, we can easily catch another ten fishes or so,” Zhao Liangying bragged.
”I agree! We had the chance to catch more fish this morning but we missed it. We can catch a few more and save them for the coming days,” Hu Yue'er immediately chimed in.
Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes. ”Won't you get tired of eating fish every day?”
He was not particular about food. However, it might be his delicious cooking that led to his intolerance of the food made by others. As of that moment, Ye Lingchen was just doing things that struck his fancy and enjoying life in the process.
”How can I grow tired of eating such delicious food? I'm willing to eat it for the rest of my life,” Zhao Liangying replied without hesitation.
Hu Yue'er gave it some thought, then nodded as well. ”Me too.”
The next moment, they realize the implications of their answer and blushed. They quietly stole a glance at Ye Lingchen, then lowered their heads and continued eating.
Huang Lei and the other two were focused on eating. Given their financial status, they have had their fair share of good food. However, the moment they tasted Ye Lingchen's cooking, they could not stop themselves as they realized how much they were missing out on.
As they ate, their hearts were still inundated with astonishment.
Ye Lingchen brought them too many surprises. He got famous via basketball, and was a sports superstar. Yet it was this star that was capable of doing everything well, especially when it came to cooking. With his standards, not even speaking of those with 10 years of bitter training, even those that went through 100 years of training might not reach his level.
They gave up thinking about it after failing to comprehend the situation. Perhaps he was a prodigy. A prodigy's growth was beyond the imaginations of commoners.
Compared to the others wolfing down their meal, Ye Lingchen took his time and ate slowly. He observed their changing expressions and had a sudden realization. He finally understood why his attitude would be so carefree.
Without him realizing it, he was already standing at the peak that many people had dreamt of. He would be considered a grandmaster no matter which field he was in.
That was probably what they meant by going back to basics. When the accomplishments of others were insignificant to oneself, there was not much in this world that could affect one's heart.
For him, it was more about experiencing life. Of course, he was still looking to collect more popularity points while doing that.
'Sigh, the happiness of a prodigy is so simple and boring.'
The three fish were undoubtedly lapped up down to the bones, not leaving even a drop of soup behind. If not for the hardness of the bones, they would have probably eaten that too.
After the meal, Huang Lei was slouching on the chair, patting his slightly round belly. His face was filled with satisfaction as he lamented, ”God Ye, your culinary skill is too amazing. Your wife will definitely be a very happy person.”
”Oh my, Huang Lei Sensei, what wise words. That's truly the case!” Wei Daxun's eyes glowed brightly, clearly excited.
According to Huang Lei's deductions, the meals made by Ye Lingchen were priceless. However, if one became his wife, then she would be able to enjoy such priceless meals every day. That was true bliss.
”Why is a man like you getting excited over being God Ye's wife?” He Jia could not help but mock him. ”Could it be that you think you still have a chance?”
”I can't, but it doesn't mean my children can't!” Wei Daxun retorted. ”If God Ye has a son in the future, I'll get myself a daughter and offer her to his son!”
