After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"you you you……"

Seeing this, Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned red with anger, and she even started to stutter, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Ye Bai had already taken the blood-red dragon to the tap by the pond and started washing and slaughtering it.

Back when he lived in the mountains, Ye Bai mostly lived a self-sufficient life, so he was quite adept at this kind of work.

In no time at all, the big fish was gutted and its scales were cleaned off.

Then, to Qin Wanqing's astonishment, Ye Bai had Shen Lu get some dry branches from the nearby woods, lit a fire under the banyan tree by the pond, and started an outdoor barbecue on the spot.

"You've caused trouble, Ye! Do you even know how much this blood-red dragon costs? If your Sixth Uncle finds out, he'll kill you!"

Qin Wanqing finally came to her senses and once again habitually looked up and rubbed her forehead.

“How much is a fish worth? And aren’t fish raised for food? Besides, this pond belongs to the entire Qin family, not just Sixth Uncle’s. This means the fish in it are also the Qin family’s public property. If others can eat them, why can’t I, the Qin family’s son-in-law, eat them?”

Ye Bai didn't even look up, focusing intently on grilling the fish while spouting his fallacies and heresies.

"That's right, what the son-in-law said makes perfect sense."

Shen Lu squatted to the side like a little pet waiting to be fed, nodding her head repeatedly as she listened, faithfully fulfilling her duty as the straight man.

"You two are hopeless..."

Qin Wanqing was exhausted. She had now completely realized that what was more terrifying than one foodie was two foodies meeting.

Fortunately, the Qin Family Manor wasn't the Jingzhou Zoo, otherwise those two gluttons would have eaten all the animals.

Soon after, the fish began to turn golden brown, and an enticing aroma slowly wafted out.

Although it was an outdoor barbecue, it was still at home, and we had the facilities, so Ye Bai specially asked Shen Lu to go back and bring over all sorts of seasonings from the old house.

Only by adding this ingredient can the fish taste even more delicious.

Those who say that you don't need to add any seasonings, and that the natural flavor of the fish will come out, are talking nonsense.

Deep-sea fish might be okay, but freshwater fish will only have a muddy taste.

"It smells so good! Miss wasn't lying, this fish must be delicious!"

After taking a few deep breaths, Shen Lu's face was filled with ecstasy, and she was practically drooling.

"That's right, your young lady has some taste. If she had said it wasn't good, we wouldn't have eaten it."

Ye Bai nodded and chuckled.

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes again in anger. In the end, this guy actually pinned the blame on her, making it seem as if Ye Bai only chose to roast the blood-red dragon because of her instigation.

He's clearly just greedy, but he wants others to take the blame. This guy is a complete scumbag!

Soon, the fish was grilled. Ye Bai carefully removed it from the grill, placed it in aluminum foil, took a pair of chopsticks, handed it to Qin Wanqing, and said with a smile, "Want to try some?"

Qin Wanqing wanted to refuse, but the aroma of the fish was too tempting, and the fish meat was golden on the outside and snow-white on the inside, making it look very appetizing.

So, Queen Qin, who had intended to be reserved, ended up taking the chopsticks as if possessed, picking up a piece of fish and putting it in her mouth.

To be honest, she was also quite curious about what this legendary Indonesian blood red dragon tasted like.

Does the taste of a fish worth at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan live up to its price?

No! Blood Red Arowana are ornamental fish, not for eating!

I've been completely led astray by these two foodies, ptooey!

Upon tasting the fish, Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes lit up, and she blurted out instinctively, "Delicious!"

The fish melts in your mouth, soft, sweet, and has a unique aroma that you can't quite place—whether it's from charcoal grilling or the fish itself. It's even better than those expensive fish that often appear on the dinner table!

This naturally prompted Qin Wanqing to exclaim in admiration, but she quickly realized her mistake, her pretty face flushed red, and she glared fiercely at Ye Bai.

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Ye Bai smiled slightly, too lazy to argue with the hypocritical Queen Qin, and invited Shen Lu to start eating as well.

"It's so delicious! I think this is the best grilled fish I've ever had! My son-in-law is amazing!"

Shen Lu ate until her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, her face beaming with happiness.

In less than ten minutes, the large fish, weighing six or seven pounds, was completely devoured.

Ye Bai didn't eat much; most of it ended up in Qin Wanqing and Shen Lu's mouths.

It wasn't because he didn't like to eat, but as a grown man, how could he possibly compete with two girls for food?

Anyway, this pond is so big, there should be more than just one blood-red dragon in it. If we haven't had enough, we can fish for it again next time.

As for whether Qin Shengfeng would be angered to death by his actions, Ye Bai didn't care at all.

Even if he were to die of anger, it would actually be a good thing, as it would rid the Qin family of a scourge.

"How does it feel? Do you think this fish was worth the price?"

Ye Bai looked at Qin Wanqing with a mischievous grin.

"The taste was actually just so-so... *burp*"

Just as Queen Qin was about to deny it arrogantly, she was caught off guard and let out a burp.

"Kukuku..."

Ye Bai burst into laughter, while Qin Wanqing was both ashamed and angry. She got up, turned around, and left.

Seriously, I can't hang out with these two anymore; she's clearly showing signs of becoming a foodie herself.

If this continues, she'll become a glutton, not only ruining her figure but also destroying her reputation.

"Young master, why did Miss leave so suddenly?"

Shen Lu rubbed her slightly swollen belly and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You've eaten too much, go for a walk to digest."

Ye Bai laughed even more heartily, while Qin Wanqing, who hadn't gone far, stumbled upon hearing this and almost fell over.

After resting for a while, Shen Lu cleaned up the grilled fish area and continued working, while Ye Bai tried to catch another blood-red dragon to take back to his grandmother to try.

Judging from Qin Wanqing's behavior, although the Qin family manor raises this delicacy, no one has ever eaten it before.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the smell of the grilled fish they were making was too strong, the fish in the pond smelled it and became wary, no longer taking the bait.

"It must be because of Qin Wanqing. Women and fishing are naturally incompatible!"

Ye Bai inwardly grumbled, finding a suitable scapegoat for his "air force".

Unable to catch any fish, Ye Bai simply went to work in the fields.

The two of them worked hard until dinner time that evening, and finally finished cultivating about half an acre of land.

There is still a lot of open space around the pond, but Ye Bai thinks this should be enough for now.

After all, whether those seeds can still germinate and grow normally after being placed in a completely different environment is something Ye Bai still needs to explore slowly.

After returning home, taking a shower, and having dinner, Ye Bai was preparing to continue working on his land when Chen Yizhen, the Qin family's private doctor, suddenly arrived.

Upon seeing Ye Bai, she greeted him with great enthusiasm, "Mr. Ye, what do you think of my suggestion from last time?"
