The Four Big Foodies

Jiang Fang and the others naturally understood Qian Ye's meaning.

They exchanged a glance, then drew their knives and charged toward the willow trees.

Bang bang bang~

Then came the sound of a knife cutting tree branches.

Jiang Fang slashed again and again, Yao Rao slashed again and again, Janet slashed again and again, Zhao Ruo slashed again and again and again, and Qian Ye's figure flashed, and with a single breath, a golden object, about the size of a human head, was absorbed from the Willow Tree King.

Then, the blade stopped, and Zhao Ruo, Janet, Jiang Fang, and Yao Rao each came over holding two green objects.

It was slightly smaller than the golden object in Qian Ye's hand, and it wasn't golden; it was green.

"Brother Ye, is this the Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart?" Zhao Ruo asked, holding up the object in her hand.

Qian Ye nodded. "Yes, it's the Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart."

"But why is the one in your hand gold?" Zhao Ruo asked, puzzled.

"This is the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart, from that big willow tree," Janet replied before Qian Ye could speak.

Qian Ye nodded.

"Brother Ye, here you go." Yao Rao handed the two Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart in her hands to Qian Ye.

Qian Ye did not refuse and accepted them all.

Subsequently, Janet, Zhao Ruo, and Jiang Fang all handed over the Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart they had to him.

Qian Ye accepted them all, then said, "I'll keep these for now, and distribute them to you according to your contributions when we get back. 👹💗 😝ൠ"

Mmm~

The group nodded, saying nothing more, trusting Qian Ye's character and believing he wouldn't lie to them.

Qian Ye didn't say much more, "I just took a look, and this island has no fewer than a hundred kinds of Spirit of Vegetation. These nine willow trees are just one of them. How about we search further?"

"Of course! Why not?" Janet said happily. This was a great opportunity, one that was rare to come across, so how could she not cherish it?

Zhao Ruo: "Janet is right. Since we have such good stuff, why let others have it? It would be better if we all picked it."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Fang and Yao Rao both nodded, indicating their feelings.

Qian Ye smiled without saying a word: "Alright then, you've been fighting those willow trees for so long, you must be hungry. Let's eat something first, rest for a bit, and then continue searching."

"Alright," Jiang Fang nodded.

Zhao Ruo: "Brother Ye, I agree with what you said. As the saying goes, food is essential for life. You'll get hungry if you skip a meal. But it seems like there's nothing to eat on this island, right?"

"You all stay put, I'll be right back." Qian Ye said nothing more and headed towards the lake.

Before Zhao Ruo could say anything more, Qian Ye had already disappeared from their sight.

"Sister Fangfang, where is Brother Ye going?"

Jiang Fang pondered, "He must have gone to find ingredients. Did you forget? Back in the Elite Training Camp, Brother Ye cooked us a meal that we'll never forget."

"Ah... right!" Zhao Ruo's eyes immediately lit up. "Yes, Brother Ye really did go to find ingredients."

"Jiang Fang, can Brother Ye cook delicious food?" Yao Rao couldn't help but ask curiously after hearing the two women's words.

"Yes." Before Jiang Fang could answer, Janet was already excitedly saying, "Sister Yao Rao, you don't know, Brother Ye cooked a delicious meal for everyone at the Elite Training Camp last time."

"Back then, he roasted a whole wild boar, made a pot of pig's blood soup, and a pot of spicy pig offal soup. All the trainees in the Elite Training Camp, including me, Jiang Fang, and Zhao Ruo, had a great time. It was absolutely delicious, and I still can't forget it."

Zhao Ruo nodded immediately. "I swear, this is the most delicious and fragrant meal I've ever had in my twenty years of life."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Yao Rao laughed.

She wasn't there at the time, so nobody knows whether the others were just flattering him or not.

Jiang Fang noticed her expression. "Yao Rao, you don't trust the two of them, so you don't trust me either, do you?"

"So it's true." Seeing Jiang Fang stand up to vouch for him, Yao Rao, as a member of the Wargod Palace, had no choice but to believe it.

Zhao Ruo put her arm around Yao Rao's waist and said, "Sister Brother Ye can cook or not, and whether it's good or not, you won't be able to tell no matter how much we tell you. You'll know once you've tasted it."

"Okay, then I'll wait to eat." Yao Rao smiled happily.

They sat down to rest with the others while waiting for Qian Ye to bring back the food.

Swoosh~

Not long after, Qian Ye returned.

The girls immediately surrounded him upon seeing this.

Qian Ye carried a bucket filled with more than a dozen fish, each weighing five or six pounds, and placed it on the ground. "Tonight we'll make grilled fish, one of my specialties. I'll also make fish soup for everyone, so you can have a good meal."

"Very good!"

The girls were overjoyed to see there was food again, and they became very happy.

Let's all work together to help.

Qian Ye took out a pot, bowl, ladle, basin, and grill, and started grilling the fish.

Zhao Ruo, Yao Rao, Janet, Jiang Fang and the others gathered firewood, fetched water, washed the pot, and prepared to boil water to make soup.

While grilling fish, Qian Ye took a break to pick some delicious wild mushrooms and vegetables in the woods.

Then, put the fish maw into the boiling pot first to simmer before adding it to the soup.

Once the soup has turned milky white, add some salt and MSG. Natural ingredients like this are delicious on their own, so there's no need to add too many seasonings.

Finally, add mushrooms and wild vegetables, simmer for a short while, and the fish soup is ready.

Over there, the dozen or so fish that Qian Ye had grilled had already turned golden brown.

Jiang Fang washed five large bowls, served a large pot of fish maw soup to everyone, and then took a large bowl for herself before starting to savor the fish maw soup made by Qian Ye.

"Delicious! This fish soup is so delicious and unique." After taking a sip of the soup, Yao Rao gave Qian Ye a big thumbs up.

Jiang Fang, Janet, Zhao Ruo, and the others all smiled. After all, they had already tasted the delicious food made by Qian Ye, so they were naturally prepared.

However, after drinking the fish soup, the three of them still gave Qian Ye rave reviews.

"The main course is ready, let's eat!" Qian Ye called out to the girls as more than a dozen fish were already grilled.

"Wow..."

The girls rushed over, each picking the biggest one, and started tasting it.

"Delicious... so delicious!" Janet exclaimed to Qian Ye after taking a bite of the grilled fish.

"I've been eating grilled fish for over twenty years, but this is the first time I've ever had such delicious grilled fish. Brother Ye is awesome!"

Qian Ye: "..."

Zhao Ruo took a bite and couldn't stop. "This grilled fish is so delicious, I want to eat it for the rest of my life."

"I love grilled fish, and I especially love the grilled fish that Brother Ye makes. It's so delicious!" Yao Rao praised while eating, enjoying both at the same time.

Even eating can't shut them up.

Jiang Fang didn't say anything, but she finished eating one before the others and went to get another one.

Qian Ye pretended not to see or hear anything, with a bowl of fish soup in front of him and a grilled fish in his hand, eating slowly and deliberately.
