Chapter 78 – The sinking fish takes the bait!

“You guys, you’re not as good as one of the other girls.”

Coach Liu laughed and poked fun at the boys before presenting Asaba Rika with the winner’s souvenir – a rather well-made model gun.

It is not a toy gun, but a small craft that can be placed on a table.

“Thanks!”

Asaba Rika joyfully accepted the prize and turned her head and ran to Shen Yu as everyone looked on enviously.

” Shen Yu , this is for you.”

“It’s your prize, what are you giving it to me for.”

Shen Yu didn’t pick it up, he looked down at Rika, who stubbornly held out her hand, the model gun lying in her palm, looking up at him with wide eyes.

“If Shen Yu hadn’t taken me, I would have been killed, and then I got you killed by a fellow Yage student ……”

“……”

When Shen Yu saw her insistence, he took the model gun and put it in his pocket.

If there is a probable choice next time, Shen Yu decides to ask Asaba Rika to choose it for him, as such a lucky dog is hard to find.

……

After finishing the sparring event, the class leader organised a barbecue for everyone to join.

Shen Yu joined the boys in the class and brought over the barbecue, charcoal, ingredients and drinks, while the girls washed the vegetables and skewered the meat together.

Asaba Rika is still very keen on the barbecue and she is the most active.

“Come on, let’s go fishing!”

Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage found fishing rods from somewhere and dragged Shen Yu along to the fish pond to fish.

The three of them moved small stools and sat down by the pond, and waited quietly after the launch of the pole.

There were also a few boys in the class fishing over here, all from the city, almost all novices who had never fished before, and five times out of ten when they cast they would drop the bait.

“Is the boss lying, the pond isn’t stocked with fish, is it?”

“I think the pond where the fish are kept must not be this one or it would definitely refuse to let us come and fish.”

“What’s the rush, fishing is all about patience.”

“Sit for an hour and go back just in time for a barbecue ……”

Listening to the rest of the class talking, Shen Yu didn’t say anything and quietly looked at his fishing rod.

The fish drifted motionlessly.

In fact, the barbecue is still busy, except for Shen Yu three people who are serious about fishing, the students who come to fish here, more or less lazy in mind, some simply do not have a fishing rod, just stand on the edge to watch.

Gradually, the students who were working on the barbecue also discovered the secret and left their work behind, finding excuses to come fishing or to go to the orchard to pick fruit, the better to come back just in time for the barbecue.

Shen Yu looked back and saw that there had been more than ten students at the barbecue, but now there were only ten or less, most of them girls.

Most of the girls in the class are in groups of three or four, and if they need help or anything, they are all in their own little groups, leaving Asaba Rika alone with no one to talk to.

Asaba Rika, with gloves on, washed the vegetables and meat at the tap and put the washed meat and vegetables on a plate. After waiting for a long time for other students to come and help her, she took a stick and skewered the meat bit by bit.

She was weak and unskilled at skewering meat, and the sharp wooden skewer seemed to accidentally poke her palm, and she jerked her hand back.

Rika frowns a little at his left hand, looks up to find out whose it is, opens his mouth and doesn’t know who to talk to, then goes back down to skewering the meat.

Shen Yu wasn’t looking at the fish drifting, he kept looking at her.

Seeing her shrink a little, I felt as if my heart had pumped.

The next second he took out his phone and called her.

Asaba Rika took off his gloves, wiped his hands with a tissue and saw that it was Shen Yu on the phone.

” Shen Yu!”

“Come along and fish, we’re here at the fish pond, you look to your left.”

Asaba Rika then saw Shen Yu waving at her.

“Well, Shen Yu you guys fish, and I’ll bring it to you when I’m done baking!”

Shen Yu was silent for a moment and said, “Be careful, that stick is very sharp.”

“Mmmmmm! It’s okay!”

Asaba Rika hung up the phone and put his gloves back on to skewer the meat. He had indeed just been poked by a wooden skewer on his left hand and it still hurt a lot from the blood, but after receiving Shen Yu’s call, it didn’t hurt so much.

Shen Yu slipped the phone into his pocket and when his hand came across the model Rika had given him, he took it out and played with it for a moment before slipping it back into his pocket.

He suddenly stood up to leave.

Ke Liangji called out to him, ” Shen Yu! Hooked! Hooked!”

“I’ll be happy to take the bait.”

“What’s with that, your fish is moving!”

Before the fish could eat and sink, Shen Yu lifted the rod, shook the bait off and reeled the rod in.

“You’re not fishing anymore?”

“No fish here, no fun, back to the barbecue.”

Shen Yu said, and took Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage’s rods with him, dragging them back to the barbecue with him.

……

Asaba Rika was sitting on a short little stool skewering meat when she felt the light dim and looked up to find Shen Yu and Ke Liangji Zhao Yage standing in front of her.

” Shen Yu!”

“Did you catch any fish?”

Shen Yu washed her hands, put on disposable gloves, knelt down beside her, took a wooden skewer and started skewering the meat.

“There are no fish, just water.” Shen Yu said.

“It’s true, you’ve just moved your drift, wait a little longer and you’ll get a big fish!”

“What are you still waiting for? Get to work.”

Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage had to squat down to help with the work too.

Asaba Rika looked very happy with the arrival of Shen Yu and was chattering and talking to them.

“Lamb is not good to roast eh, I’ve roasted it before and it stinks if it’s not done properly ……”

” Shen Yu What kind of meat do you like to eat?”

“How do you grill an aubergine, I haven’t grilled this ……”

“The chicken wing needs to be marinated because it’s harder to have flavour, I’ll marinate the wing!”

Shen Yu does not know how to cook, but he has eaten barbecue many times, so if he were to grill it himself, he would be no match for Rika.

The four of them got busy together and soon had a lot of ingredients ready.

Asaba Rika was about to finish the rest of the meat and vegetables when Shen Yu stopped her: “We have enough to eat on our own. …… I mean, we’re out having fun together, it’s also fun to work, we have to leave some work for others to do. ”

Shen Yu and Ke Liangji brought over a barbecue and made some charcoal red and the four of them barbecued together.

“I’ll get it, you go and season it.”

Shen Yu took a few skewers of chicken wings from Asaba Rika and the oven was so hot that he felt his face burn when he was near it.

” Shen Yu , brush some oil.”

Shen Yu picks up the wings and Asaba Rika takes a small brush and brushes them with oil, then when they are almost done, brushes them evenly with barbecue sauce and sprinkles of cumin and honey to taste.

“It smells so good! Shen Yu, you’re great!”

“It’s average.”

“Ew, obviously you’re just a chicken wing flipper, and it’s not even Rika who does the flavouring!” Zhao Yage spat frantically.

“You don’t eat what I bake.”

With that in mind, Shen Yu plates up the grilled chicken wings and shares them with Asaba Rika, and the two of them sit together on a bench in the shade to eat.

Under Rika’s guidance, Shen Yu’s chicken wings are quite good, with a crispy golden skin that is oozing with oil, and when gently sliced open with your teeth, they are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, preserving the tenderness of the chicken meat while maximising the taste.

” Shen Yu You eat this, this must smell the best ……”

“You eat it yourself. What’s wrong with your hands?”

“Just accidentally got stuck with a wooden stick ……”

“Let’s see.”

“Don’t look, it’s ugly ……”

“Hands out.”

When he was forced to do so, Rika held out her small hand and hid the wound from him.

Seeing the obvious poke wound on Rika’s hand, Shen Yu suddenly felt distressed, and his brow furrowed involuntarily.

“Why are you so careless …… don’t touch the water, go back and apply some medicine.”

“It’s okay, it’s just a little bit of skin.”

“I don’t care if you’re inflamed.”

……

“Cut it out, I’ll bake it myself.”

Zhao Yage gulped with envy as he watched the two of them eating happily.

” Brother Duck, you eat mine as a reward for saving your life on the underground.”

“Count on your conscience.”

Ke Liangji generously shared his grilled chicken wings with Zhao Yage.

Zhao Yage’s face is stony as he looks at the chicken wings, which are charred around the edges.

“Is it edible? It’s all mushy, isn’t it?”

“What do you know, that’s what makes it taste good!”

Ke Liangji and Zhao Yage also ate the food, which didn’t look too good, but it did taste pretty good.

“I didn’t see that coming, but you’ve got it in you.”

“Oh, with a secret recipe.”

Zhao Yage finished one and ate another, curious, “What’s the secret grill recipe that’s so good?”

Ke Liangji smiles mysteriously.

“In 1219, Chengji Sihan was leading an expedition to the west, but he was unable to cook with enough cooking utensils, so he had the idea of asking his soldiers to take off their helmets and roast the meat over the fire. When he inspected the soldiers, he found that one soldier’s roast meat was particularly popular, so Chengji Sihan tried it. The soldier scratched his head and said, “It’s not much, I just have a lot of oil in my hair. ……”

Zhao Yage froze, a piece of meat still hanging from the corner of his mouth, unable to swallow or spit, his expression gradually twisted ……

Ke Liangji flicked her long, greasy hair, which hadn’t been washed for days, and asked her cryptically.

” Brother Duck, got the inside smell?”

“You’re fucking disgusting!!! Vomit!!!”
