I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

Chu Yang glanced at the mushrooms in his basket and stood up in surprise.

"My God, how did you pick up so many poisonous mushrooms?"

Chu Xinhang, who was lost in self-pity and sentimentality, was pulled back to reality by his words of amazement and followed his gaze to see the colorful mushrooms in his basket.

"I thought they looked pretty, so I picked them all."

Chu Yang felt a chill run down his spine just looking at it, and quickly squatted down to pick out the poisonous mushrooms.

"This poisonous fly agaric, this pink spore, the green wet umbrella, the small red wet umbrella, especially this one, the most common fly agaric, are all poisonous and cannot be eaten."

After picking and choosing, the remaining edible mushrooms couldn't even cover the bottom of the basket.

Chu Xinhang looked at the colorful mushrooms that were being thrown away with a bit of regret. Although they were poisonous, they were beautiful.

There are a few things you probably haven't heard before.

After picking the mushrooms, Chu Yang stood up, basket in hand, a mischievous smile on his lips.

"Red umbrella, white stem, after eating, we'll lie on the board together. Remember, the prettier the mushroom, the more poisonous it is."

Chu Xinhang looked at the beautiful mushrooms on the ground, somewhat bewildered, and then glanced at Chu Yang.

"My lord, why do we have to lie on the board after eating? Can't we just lie on the bed?"

With a basket already full on his back and a basket in his hand, he walked along laughing heartily.

"My lord, what are you laughing at?"

Chu Xinhang, who was standing beside him, couldn't understand why Chu Yang was smiling so happily.

"Cough cough, no, nothing. Red umbrellas and white stems, those are the pretty mushrooms you just picked up. 'Lying on a board' means they're dead. Their bodies are lying stiffly on the board, ready to be carried up the mountain and buried."

Chu Xinhang suddenly realized what was happening, and a chill ran down his spine. Luckily, all the poisonous mushrooms had been thrown away.

Coming down from the mountain, Chu Yang returned laden with mushrooms—a whole basket on his back and another basket full. His mouth was practically watering.

I poured all the mushrooms out in the yard, moved a small stool to sit down and carefully picked and chose them. After cleaning them, I washed the mushrooms in water and broke them into small pieces.

My clothes were covered in mud after the trip up the mountain, especially my shoes and trouser legs.

After cleaning up the mushrooms, Chu Yang took off his dirty shoes and clothes.

As Chu Xinhang watched Chu Yang begin to undress, his face flushed slightly, his eyes became shy, and he lowered his head shyly, the corners of his mouth curving slightly as he spoke softly.

"My lord, I..."

"Aren't you going to take a shower and change your clothes? It's foggy and damp in the mountains, and I feel all sticky. I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes first."

After saying that, Chu Yang walked past him, went straight upstairs, and went into his room.

Chu Xinhang stood there petrified, his mind already conjuring up the tragic ending of being disregarded by the male master and driven out of the house by the other female servants.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Chu Yang had just stepped out of his room when he ran into Chu Xinhang, who was standing not far away, wearing a black short-sleeved low-cut T-shirt with his left shoulder exposed and low-waisted slim-fit casual pants.

The smooth lines of her abs and V-line were also faintly visible.

Chu Yang swallowed hard, his eyes darting nervously elsewhere.

"The freshly washed mushrooms need to be cooked quickly, otherwise they won't be as delicious."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly went downstairs, not giving Chu Xinhang a chance to speak at all.

"That was close! I almost lost control." Chu Yang patted his chest and breathed heavily. During his most vulnerable period, it was like taking an aphrodisiac. As soon as he relaxed, his mind was filled with lewd thoughts.

Shaking his head to clear his mind, he tied on his apron and began preparing a mushroom feast.

This wild mushroom is naturally delicious and doesn't need much seasoning when cooking.

Take an old hen out of the refrigerator, cut it into pieces, blanch it with scallions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, take out the chicken pieces and put them into a soup pot to simmer over low heat. When it is almost cooked, add the mushrooms and continue to simmer.

On the other side, heat oil in a wok, add chili sauce and garlic slices, stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the mushrooms and stir-fry over high heat until cooked through, then add some salt to taste.

When Shen Nanxi returned, she smelled a wonderful aroma before even entering the door, and her mouth watered.

"What delicious food is my brother making again? I'm almost crying from the smell."

As I jogged into the living room, I saw Chu Xinhang with his lips pursed, arms crossed over his chest, legs completely crossed on the sofa, his brows and eyes almost scrunched up.

"You...you haven't succeeded yet, have you?"

Chu Xinhang, his face exposed, mechanically turned his head, looking at Chong, who was changing his shoes at the door, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"... "

As Shen Nanxi walked past him, she patted his shoulder sympathetically.

Keep up the good work tonight.

After saying that, he rushed into the kitchen and excitedly shouted into it.

"Brother, it smells so good! What are we going to eat later?"

She couldn't wait to get to Chu Yang's side and watch him stir-frying vegetables in a wok.

"Let's have something good to eat tonight."

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow at him, feigning mystery.

"Go wash your hands, it's time to eat."

Mushroom and chicken soup, stir-fried mushrooms with green peppers, stir-fried mushrooms with diced beef, stir-fried mushrooms with pork belly, and fried rice with minced beef liver.

"Try this chicken soup."

Chu Yang ladled a bowl of chicken soup for the two of them and also scooped out a few pieces of mushrooms.

Shen Nanxi ignored the fact that it was too hot to eat and took a small sip of the chicken soup.

"Hmm~"

Staring wide-eyed in shock at the taste, she excitedly pointed at the soup in the bowl.

"It's so delicious that I almost cried."

The other insect also looked completely absorbed. Seeing their infatuated expressions, Chu Yang revealed a triumphant smile.

No insect can escape the delicious taste of wild mushrooms; if there are, then you definitely haven't eaten truly wild ones.

They ate the meal clean, mixing the rice directly with the mushrooms on the plate, leaving not a single grain uneaten.

Shen Nanxi, her belly round and full, lay on the sofa, comfortably closing her eyes, savoring the delicious taste from earlier.

"Brother, I want to eat this mushroom again tomorrow."

"Sure, the shop's renovation isn't finished yet, and we're free for a while, so we'll go up the mountain to pick some more tomorrow."

Thinking of the groves of mushrooms, Chu Yang's expression became excited again. He decided that he could call more helpers to pick them tomorrow, so that he could launch the limited-edition mushroom-filled buns.

After finishing her meal, Shen Nanxi grabbed a washed apple and hurriedly ran upstairs.

"Brother, I'm tired today, so I'm going to sleep now."

After saying that, he didn't forget to give Chu Xinhang, who was standing in front of the dining table, a wink.

Having received the hint, Chu Xinhang nodded solemnly in the direction where he disappeared.

After suppressing his pheromones all day, Chu Yang finally broke through his defenses. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt dizzy and then slumped back into the chair, his limbs going limp.

"Cough cough cough..."

Chu Xinhang was enveloped by the sudden pheromones, the strong scent making him cough and his cheeks flush.

"My lord, your pheromones are out of control. Let me help you to your room."

Chu Xinhang reached out and held his arm, the strong pheromones stimulating his nasal cavity, and he subconsciously held his breath.

"It seems that this is the best I can do for now."

The room was dark, and Chu Xinhang couldn't see Chu Yang's expression as he sat beside him. He felt a mix of trepidation and immense anticipation.

"Wait a minute, the food is a bit salty tonight. I'm thirsty and I'm going to get a glass of water. Do you want some?"

Huh? The food is too salty? Chu Xinhang nodded blankly, and then saw a dimly lit figure walking out of the room.

Finally, Chu Yang drank three glasses of ice water in one go, exhaled sharply, and then carried another glass of ice water back to his room.
