Everyone in the livestream could hear him loud and clear.
Someone looked at him in surprise, and Qin Yan's expression darkened.
Realizing he had actually said it out loud, Bai Ziyu immediately sensed trouble and hurriedly tried to patch things up. "I didn't mean it like that. I was just a little surprised. Jiang Fang doesn't usually seem like the type to do these things."
"Then maybe you should go to the hospital and get your eyes checked."
After tossing out those words, Qin Yan walked toward Jiang Fang, not giving Bai Ziyu even a sliver of face.
He had been in the entertainment industry for so long that if he still could not see what was strange about Bai Ziyu, then those years would have been wasted.
Bai Ziyu bit his lower lip in embarrassment. With his level of fame, he did not dare provoke Qin Yan, who was already one of the industry's top stars.
Although Qin Yan had mostly shifted behind the scenes now, his fans were still active and fiercely loyal. If Bai Ziyu offended him, he might not even know how he died later.
Bai Ziyu shot Jiang Fang a resentful glare in private, pinning all his humiliation on him.
[Hahahahaha, thank you, Jiang Fang, for letting me see Brother Qin all flustered!]
[I'm dying, it's my first time seeing Brother Qin like this. Good thing Jiang Fang was here, or Brother Qin might have gone hungry today.]
[My Qin was so full of confidence, only to stab at nothing. He didn't even touch the fish skin.]
Those were all Qin Yan's fans.
Qin Yan truly deserved to be called a top star. If the comments were not blocked, you could not even see his face.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Qin Yan had just spoken up for Jiang Fang. Not to mention, the fish in Qin Yan's hands had come from Jiang Fang. Naturally, the fans would not go past their idol to curse Jiang Fang. Instead, they had a very favorable impression of him.
The fish fans had their faces thoroughly slapped swollen this time.
Those who had originally refused to believe it were directed to watch the recorded livestream. They went in full of suspicion and came back ashamed, and no one mentioned it again.
This time, no one tried to smooth things over, and the atmosphere naturally turned cold.
But it did not affect Jiang Fang in the slightest. He took the fish that had already been cleaned by the river and, without the slightest hesitation, assigned Qin Yan a task.
"Brother Yan, could you check whether there's any seafood to pick up by the shore?"
Qin Yan nodded and handed the fish to Jiang Fang.
"One for soup, one pan-fried, and two for grilling..." he muttered to himself.
"Um, Jiang Fang, is there anything I can help with?" Qin Yan was protecting Jiang Fang, so Jiang Fang was naturally also Fang Yi's brother!
He definitely was not craving the fish!
"Can you fillet fish?"
Fang Yi nodded, took two fish, and began filleting them with a small knife off to the side.
Jiang Fang opened the seasoning box he had drawn. The contents were quite comprehensive, and there was even a small jar of cooking oil!
Satisfied, Jiang Fang took everything out and arranged it neatly.
Then, he pulled several black, mud-covered things out of an empty bamboo tube.
[What is that? Don't tell me they're going to eat it later?]
[Ew, it looks disgusting!]
[Wait, that shape looks kind of familiar—]
Before the livestream could figure it out, Jiang Fang washed them with water, and the black lumps instantly revealed their true appearance!
[Ginger! It's actually ginger! Damn it, where did this man pull that out from? I never saw him digging anything up!]
[Wait, when they came back, Jiang Fang went into a patch of bushes, and the drone camera was blocked by them!]
[!! How did he find it? I never noticed there was ginger here!]
Jiang Fang finding ginger was an unexpected yet expected surprise. He had grown up comfortably. Though he could endure hardship, he had always believed that if suffering could be avoided, then it should be avoided. Even in the wilderness, he wanted to give himself the best life possible within his means.
So whenever he walked around outside, he would look around. There might just be a surprise somewhere.
He had only thought the plants in the bushes looked especially familiar, so he went over to take a look. He had not expected to actually come across wild ginger!
It was only a pity that he had not encountered any scallions or garlic along the way.
Once all the preparations were done, Fang Yi had also finished filleting the fish, and Qin Yan returned with his spoils.
Fang Yi really had been lucky. There was actually a mesh bag in the blind box. Otherwise, Qin Yan's clothes would have had to be sacrificed.
Qin Yan's fans: That wouldn't be impossible!
"Can you cook?"
Qin Yan nodded.
Jiang Fang smoothly handed him the task of making fish soup. As for the grilled fish, Jiang Fang set up a rack and put the fish on it. Fang Yi only needed to make sure it did not burn.
After taking care of everything, Jiang Fang poured oil onto the thin stone slab he had preheated long ago. Before long, the fragrance of hot oil began to waft out.
He first fried the fish meant for the soup. The moment the fish touched the boiling oil, it began to crackle, and the aroma traveled far away. Several people in the distance, who had just finished their rations, silently swallowed.
No matter how good the rations were, they were still dry and shriveled. They filled the stomach, but they did not taste good.
The moment they smelled the fragrance of oil and fish, they could not hold back anymore and kept glancing this way.
The sky gradually darkened. The summer sea breeze was pleasantly comfortable, and the fire crackled alongside the group's quiet murmurs. The viewers in the livestream were also infected by the atmosphere and gradually fell silent.
[Oh my god, this scene is so beautiful!]
[I'm dying. Why does your survival look different from my survival?]
[Fang Yi looks like Jiang Fang and the Best Actor's kid!]
[Sunset, waves, sea breeze, delicious food, and beautiful people! I want to do wilderness survival too!]
[It's the first time I've realized that Jiang Fang doesn't get overshadowed when he's on screen with Best Actor Qin! Holy crap, I remember that the Best Actor's face has always dominated the entertainment industry. No one dared share the screen with him!]
[Damn, it's so beautiful! I declare Fangfang my new favorite now.]
[What's that compared to me? I'm confidently saying hello already: Hi, wife! (holding a rose in my mouth) (getting stabbed in the mouth by the rose) (fleeing in defeat)]
After frying away some of the fishiness, Jiang Fang poured it into the soup pot. The seafood was already cooking, and he tossed in a piece of ginger to remove the odor. In the context of wilderness survival, he was extravagantly excessive.
After directing Fang Yi to turn the grilled fish, Jiang Fang placed the fish slices onto the stone slab one by one. There had originally been no chopsticks, so he had carved this pair himself.
The fish stuck to the oil with a sizzling sound, and a cloud of white smoke rose up.
The fish slices had been cut very thin and cooked through quickly, turning tender and white. Jiang Fang brushed a layer of honey over them, then sprinkled on the seasonings. The domineering fragrance swept over everyone in an instant.
"Grrr..." Someone's stomach was already growling.
Lin Sen and the others were even more restless.
[Holy shit, that smells way too good. The instant noodles I'm eating suddenly feel so bland.]
[Honestly, for a moment, I thought the ones doing wilderness survival weren't them, but me!]
[I clicked into a wilderness survival livestream, not a food livestream!!!]
[Thanks, I've already ordered grilled fish. The delivery is on its way.]
[The bread in my hand suddenly doesn't smell good anymore.]
[I now think the seasonings in Jiang Fang's hands are truly wonderful things!]
The viewers in the livestream could not even smell it and were already craving it this badly, let alone the people at the scene.
Fang Yi stared eagerly at the fish in Jiang Fang's hands. If Jiang Fang had not reminded him, the grilled fish in his hands would have burned.
Qin Yan's movements were not obvious, but he clearly looked over far more often.
Fortunately, aside from the grilled fish, everything else was ready very quickly.
After discussing it, the three decided that the grilled fish only needed someone to watch and turn it, so they happily began eating.
The milky-white fish soup carried the fragrance of seafood, while the seasonings enhanced its freshness and flavor perfectly.
The fish, with its lightly charred surface and complete color, aroma, and taste, also carried a hint of honey fragrance that made it impossible to stop eating.
How was this wilderness survival? It was practically camping!
Long Aozhi was the first to lose patience. He walked over and sat down as naturally as if he belonged there. Looking closely, there was even a trace of impatience on his face.
"Could you get me a pair of chopsticks?"
Jiang Fang: ???
Jiang Fang and Qin Yan both paused at the same time. Even the carefree Fang Yi was covered in question marks.
Although Lin Sen and Bai Ziyu did not move, their gazes also drifted over here.
Qin Yan and the others definitely could not ignore everyone else. Smelling the aroma and thinking about the fish that was about to reach their mouths, both of them began to feel lightheaded with delight.
