Small Farmer Medical God

Chapter 1898 - 1893: Exquisite Delicacy

Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei was looking at the fish bones they’d tossed on the ground.

She had to admit they hadn’t been too rough with it, so the fish skeleton that had been snapped apart was still almost whole.

Earlier, Qiaoqiao had given a big chunk of fish meat to her older sister Guaiguai.

Hu Xiaobei had thought Guaiguai would eat much more slowly than Qiaoqiao.

Because she really did look like the type to chew carefully and swallow slowly.

Only now did Hu Xiaobei realize she’d judged wrong...

She might chew carefully, but she definitely didn’t swallow slowly, because she’d even dropped the fish bones earlier than Qiaoqiao.

...

"You really cleaned that up, huh!"

After giving the bones another couple of looks, Hu Xiaobei turned to them and saw faint black smudges at the corners of their soft lips...

Knowing that had to be a bit of the fish that had gotten scorched, Hu Xiaobei quickly pulled out some tissues.

Passing them over, Hu Xiaobei said, "Wipe your mouths."

They nodded and quickly wiped their mouths.

Right now they were a little embarrassed, because they knew the way they’d been wolfing things down just now definitely hadn’t looked very good.

If no one saw, it would be fine; having someone see it was seriously embarrassing.

...

After putting away the remaining tissues, Hu Xiaobei saw how slightly awkward they looked and asked curiously with a light chuckle, "So? How was the grilled fish?"

"How was it? It wasn’t just good, it was insanely delicious!"

"Exactly! Xiaobei-gege, let’s go catch more fish now."

Seeing the eager look in Qiaoqiao’s eyes, Hu Xiaobei asked softly, "You still want to keep grilling?"

Qiaoqiao nodded decisively and said as if it were only natural, "Yeah! It’s this good, of course we have to eat more!"

"Then... alright. Let’s go back to the river and catch more fish."

"Okay!"

Nodding happily, Qiaoqiao looked at Hu Xiaobei and said excitedly, "Xiaobei-gege, you said earlier that if we had seasonings, it’d taste even better, right?"

Glancing at Qiaoqiao, Hu Xiaobei gave a small nod and said casually, "Yeah. If we match it with a bunch of different seasonings, it really would taste a lot, lot better."

"Then Xiaobei-gege, how about this—you go find the seasonings, and we’ll go catch fish. How about it?"

"This... sure."

Hu Xiaobei thought it over and agreed...

Hu Xiaobei knew that if he didn’t get some seasonings, their hearts would definitely be itching.

And besides, Hu Xiaobei was also planning to go check how things were going with Yao Ling...

Seeing him agree, she quickly took the stick from Hu Xiaobei’s hand and said, "Then let’s split up now. My sister and I will head out first!"

With that, she didn’t give Hu Xiaobei another chance to speak and just grabbed her sister Guaiguai and ran.

...

"These two really are little gluttons. If I put them on a livestream, they’d definitely attract a ton of viewers!"

Watching them run farther and farther away, Hu Xiaobei muttered under his breath.

After that little aside, Hu Xiaobei quickly left.

Before leaving, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the ashes on the ground, and only after confirming they wouldn’t flare back up did he look away.

Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei returned to the outside of the room.

Stopping there, he faced the room and asked softly, "How are things now?"

Hu Xiaobei knew barging in right now would definitely be awkward, so he just asked about the situation like this first.

Inside the room, Cao Lingbing, who had been sitting at Yao Ling’s side the whole time, heard his voice and immediately knew he was too embarrassed to come in.

"What a clueless little dummy who doesn’t understand women!"

Muttering in a soft, sticky tone, she glanced at Yao Ling—who was still unconscious, but whose complexion had improved a lot—and said, "Xiaobei-gege, Yao Ling-meimei’s condition has gotten much better. Come in and take a look!"

Outside, hearing this, the corner of Hu Xiaobei’s eye twitched.

He couldn’t help but once again think of that earlier scene of raging waves and surging tides.

He knew he absolutely couldn’t go in; otherwise, he might actually get a nosebleed.

Thinking that, he coughed lightly and said, "I’ve still got some things to do over here. Just keep an eye on her. I’ll come back in a bit!"

With that, Hu Xiaobei turned around and left...

...

"Xiaobei-gege actually just ran off?"

Hearing the footsteps grow more and more distant, Cao Lingbing’s face was full of surprise.

She really hadn’t expected Hu Xiaobei to just run.

Strictly speaking, though, Hu Xiaobei wasn’t exactly running away; he was going to look for seasonings.

He knew they might have already caught some fish by now, so he had to pick up the pace a little.

Heading straight for the kitchen, Hu Xiaobei picked out all kinds of seasonings, and once he was done, he quickly turned and left.

When he returned to their spot from earlier, he saw that they were already back.

"Not bad, you two are pretty fast!"

With a light note of praise, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked over.

As he came closer, he was about to say something.

But just as he opened his mouth, he found he couldn’t get the words out.

Because what he was seeing right now was completely different from what he’d expected.

"Xiaobei-gege, you’re back!"

Hearing the delighted greeting, Hu Xiaobei nodded, then quickly pointed at the thing on the ground and said, "What’s going on here? Weren’t you going to catch fish? How did you end up with a rabbit?"

Hu Xiaobei really had no idea what was going on!

Because there was a plump white rabbit lying there.

Hearing his question, they looked at each other, and soon Guaiguai spoke up.

"Xiaobei-gege, here’s what happened!"

She quickly explained everything to Hu Xiaobei, and as Guaiguai went on, he gradually understood what had happened earlier...

Turns out they had gone to the river together just now.

But in the end, they hadn’t caught a single fish.

Just as they were about to give up, they heard a noise behind them, and when they turned around, they saw a rabbit lying under a tree not far away...

They went over to take a look and found that it was already dead...

Not knowing what to do with it, they just carried it back...

...

"You two really are lucky, huh!"

After listening to the whole story, Hu Xiaobei couldn’t help commenting with some emotion!

Right now, he really did envy their good luck.

"Xiaobei-gege, forget that for now. Tell us, can we roast this rabbit and eat it?"

"Yeah!"

"Of course you can! I was planning to keep grilling fish for you, but now that it’s delivered itself to us, there’s no need for us to be polite."

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei lifted the rabbit up.

He was getting ready to give it a proper cleaning...

He’d already brought seasonings earlier.

With their help, Hu Xiaobei was confident he could easily turn it into an incredible delicacy, and just as easily make sure they’d never forget this amazing taste...
