The Villain in the World of Women

However, people in Jiangbei prefer heavier tastes and prefer spicy, fresh and fragrant flavors. Boiled fish can be cooked all over the country, but Bailu Lake has its own characteristics because it has a special spice method.

Usually, the spices used by the public are cinnamon, pepper, leaves and the like, but the boiled fish in Bailu Lake is added with the local specialty, fermented black beans.

This thing can also be made in other places, but I don’t know if it’s a climate problem or a water quality problem, as long as you leave Bailu Lake, the taste of the fermented black beans will be different even if the method is the same.

So if you want to eat authentic boiled fish, you can only use the raw materials from Bailu Lake.

It just so happened that Lin Qingyu's grandmother had pickled a lot of these things, so Xie Qingliu could use them to practice. He held a kitchen knife that was full of traces of time in his hand, and with a somewhat clumsy technique, he shaved the scales, gutted the fish, and after cleaning it, he began to disassemble the fish meat and skeleton.

According to the old people, the fish should be disassembled along the grain without destroying the structure of the fish meat, so as to ensure the integrity and taste of the fish meat.

Xie Qingliu didn’t understand these, but he knew how to summarize, and after killing five or six of them he gained some experience.

Mei Mei and Lin Qingyu were leaning against the kitchen door, watching Xie Qingliu cooking seriously, the two girls had strange expressions on their faces.

"Mei Mei, has Qingliu really never cooked before?" Lin Qingyu asked doubtfully.

"I don't understand." Mei Mei shook her head violently: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Qingliu would actually do these things, and he seemed very happy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyu glanced at Mei Mei inexplicably, as if to say that your childhood sweetheart is really a failure.

Then it’s time to make a fire. Dishes cooked on earthen stoves in the countryside will have a bit of the smell of fireworks, and many dishes just need the embellishment of this smell of fireworks to perfectly bring out their original flavor.

Xie Qingliu squatted on the ground, holding a piece of dry grass. He lit it and blew carefully. When there was a slight flame, he stuffed it into the stove and started adding firewood.

The two girls were stunned by the skillful movements!

Mei Mei felt like a pill at this moment. She found that she didn't understand this childhood friend at all.

"She can be both a lady in the living room and a good cook in the kitchen..." Lin Qingyu thought with a strange look in her eyes.

"Hoo, take off."

Looking at the hot flames, Xie Qingliu chuckled. This thing was just the fire he played with when he was a child. He just forgot about it before, but now that his memory was activated, he was naturally very skilled at it.

Then it was time to cook. Xie Qingliu's performance was a bit awkward because the fire was too big and the fish smelled burnt. His hand shook when he was adding the ingredients and the two girls watched helplessly as a large ball of salt fell in.

"It's normal, it's normal." Mei Mei muttered with a sigh of relief.

Lin Qingyu twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his head and glanced at the woman, wondering if she was his childhood friend.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Qingliu placed a bowl of dark boiled fish on the table. The two girls sat upright on both sides of the table.

"Eat and give your comments after you finish eating." Xie Qingliu said seriously.

The two girls didn't dare to raise any objection, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Then, under Xie Qingliu's gaze, the two girls' faces first twisted, then they looked disgusted and finally they forced themselves to swallow, then picked up the water cups and drank them down at the same time.

"Is it so unpalatable?"

Xie Qingliu curled his lips and asked.

"without!"

They both answered almost at the same time.

"Are you guys kidding me?" Xie Qingliu said unhappily, "Look at your expressions, you look like you've eaten coptis."

Silently, the two of them lowered their heads silently. They wanted to endure it, but the salty taste mixed with the lingering fishy smell was so destructive that they couldn't stand it.

"Forget it, let's do it again." Xie Qingliu waved his hand and said.

Mei Mei looked at Xie Qingliu in surprise. She thought he would force them to finish eating. After all, this was Xie Qingliu's character, a willful attitude that almost completely disregarded other people's feelings.

"Student Qingliu, you are already very good." Lin Qingyu said sincerely.

"Really?" Xie Qingliu laughed and said, "Then do you like me, who is so powerful?"

"This..." Lin Qingyu's face instantly turned red, and she stammered, not knowing how to answer.

"whee."

It was so much fun for Xie Qingliu to hum a little tune and tease Lin Qingyu.

"Hehe, he was just joking. Qingyu, you wouldn't take it seriously, right?" Mei Mei said with a light cough.

"I didn't take it seriously." Lin Qingyu's face returned to calm after hearing that, but there was still some blush left.

"Qingliu is just like that. He likes to show off himself." Mei Mei said earnestly, "Qingyu, you have to learn to adapt."

"I know." Lin Qingyu's tone changed completely and she spoke calmly.

"Yeah, anyway, Qingliu likes to talk nonsense sometimes, Qingyu classmate, you just have to get used to it." Mei Mei said with a sigh: "But have you noticed that Qingliu seems to have become more handsome?"

"What do you want to say?" Lin Qingyu's eyes showed a hint of impatience.

"I just think Qingliu has become more beautiful." Mei Mei said innocently: "Don't you think so?"

"Yeah." Lin Qingyu became more and more irritated. She stood up and said, "I'll go for a walk outside. Mei Mei, you go ahead."

pS: Ah this!!

Chapter 29: Filming Begins

Xie Qingliu didn’t know what the most difficult part of shooting short videos was, but according to those professional UP hosts, shooting was not that difficult; the difficult part was the post-editing and production.

And now Xie Qingliu really wants to hang those UP hosts up and give them a good beating. It would be strange if it wasn’t difficult.

In the early morning, Xie Qingliu spent the whole day practicing his cooking skills and got up early to prepare for the filming.

Food videos are not movies and cannot be shot in random order and then edited. In order to reflect authenticity, Xie Qingliu also specifically asked Mei Mei to shoot long shots to restore the real pastoral scenery.

This greatly increased the difficulty of filming, and at the same time, the difficulty of the protagonist Xie Qingliu also increased by more than one level.

"Qingliu, stop!"

In the water, Xie Qingliu was circling around a patch of reeds with a net. Hearing this, he looked at Mei Mei in confusion.

"Your movements are not beautiful enough. Try again." Mei Mei looked solemn, completely different from her usual state. Her charming face was completely filled with seriousness.

Xie Qingliu returned to the shore silently, maintaining the same posture as when he entered the water. He had already explored the path here yesterday, and in order to prevent that disgusting thing from sucking blood, he changed his lower body into a latex suit, but... the requirements had also changed.

I don't know if this girl was influenced by Xie Qingliu or if she found the feeling, but she completely got into the state after starting the filming. She lost her usual gentleness, and her attitude became serious and her tone was sonorous. She would point out anything wrong immediately.

To be honest, Xie Qingliu was a little moved by Mei Mei in this form. He liked cute girls, but he liked those with charm even more.

But it was just a thought in his mind. Rather than picking up girls, he wanted to destroy the plot more.

According to the time point, the climax of the first plot was around the Golden Week, because the uploading of the video triggered a chain reaction, and his already notorious reputation completely exploded, forcing him to flee his homeland.

Now the plot is still in the stage before it begins, he is not fully prepared yet, for the sake of a better life in the future, he has nothing to complain about except filming seriously.

And... he really likes to have fun in the water. Maybe it's because he has been a corporate slave for so many years, but now he misses the carefree days of his childhood.

At this moment, he has returned to that time. As long as he wants, he can do whatever he wants! And there are people to do it with him.

Xie Qingliu didn't care about Mei Mei's attitude, but Lin Qingyu kept a cold face throughout, and even the look in her eyes when she looked at Mei Mei became a little cold.

"Childhood friend...tsk, childhood friend..." Lin Qingyu held a piece of dry grass in her hand, and crushed it into crumbs with her fingers, repeating it softly in her mouth.

If Xie Qingliu heard it, he would definitely remember one thing, that is, Lin Qingyu would repeat a sentence over and over again before each crime.

"Okay, just like that... walk slowly and naturally!" Mei Mei held the balance frame with both hands and directed: "Qingliu, very good!"

"call."

Xie Qingliu stood in the middle of the water, looked back and smiled, then bent down and began to clear the surrounding grass and trees, and then set up the net.

Lin Qingyu stood up expressionlessly and took off her top and pants. Her fair and petite body reflected a fluorescent light in the sun. The girl grabbed a fish with a thumb-sized white spot on its head from the bucket beside her and dived into the water with a leap.

This is done according to the script. If you really want to fish here, it may take a day or even two days to make a nest. Xie Qingliu asked the old man to catch a dozen wild whitehead fish as props, and the person who placed the props was Lin Qingyu.

The girl is petite and nimble, and she can put the fish into the net without any flaws even when filming with a long lens.

But Lin Qingyu is not in a good mood today, so...

"Hey, Whisper?"

Xie Qingliu was waiting, and suddenly found that Lin Qingyu was motionless, so he tried to call out, but there was no response.

He raised his eyebrows, thinking that Lin Qingyu was not trying to scare him on purpose. After thinking for a while, he signaled Mei Mei to stop filming. He had to punish Lin Qingyu. I was the only one teasing you, so you had no right to play a prank on me.

With this in mind, Xie Qingliu took the stick and poked around in a pretentious manner, then said helplessly: "Qingyu, don't scare me, I'm timid."

Normally, Lin Qingyu would appear like this, but there was still no movement.

"Mei Mei is looking for you!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Xie Qingliu's face changed and he shouted loudly.

"Oh..." Mei Mei finally reacted and quickly took out a drone from her bag and launched it into the air, cruising in the reed marsh.

It took only a few minutes to discover the abnormality. The reed marsh more than ten meters away from Xie Qingliu was shaking violently.

"Found it, Qingyu seems to be entangled." Mei Mei shouted with a drastic change of expression.

"Depend on."

Xie Qingliu didn't care about the leeches and jumped into the water.

He can swim, but he doesn't want his upper body to come into contact with water, so he has been restraining himself. Now is not the time to be pretentious.

Because the noise was so loud, the silt on the bottom of the water was all disturbed. In the turbid water, Xie Qingliu tried hard to open his eyes and went to the place Mei Mei said with all his strength.

On the shore, Mei Mei was so anxious that her forehead was covered with sweat. She also wanted to go down to help, but she couldn't swim at all. She was even curious about how Xie Qingliu could swim! Shouldn't the other party be a landlubber like her?

Xie Qingliu finally arrived at the place Mei Mei mentioned. In the turbid water covered with grass roots, a blurry figure was pulling something hard. From the outline, the other party seemed very calm, but when Xie Qingliu got closer, he found that the girl's face was pale.

"Wooooooooooo?"

Xie Qingliu subconsciously opened his mouth to ask, but nearly choked to death on a mouthful of water. He quickly floated to the surface to catch his breath and then squatted down.

At this time, Lin Qingyu's face had turned completely pale, and even the pulling action became a little weak.

Xie Qingliu looked under the girl and saw another pit. He didn't know how she was entangled by the water plants. He used his legs to hug the girl.

“Don’t move.” Xie Qingliu gestured, then kissed her hard and started blowing.

Lin Qingyu opened her eyes wide, her tense body gradually relaxed, and she subconsciously began to lean towards Xie Qingliu.

"Hoohoo!"

Xie Qingliu let go of the girl, surfaced and took a breath, then dived in again to help her pull out the weeds.

Mei Mei looked at the images from the drone and felt something was wrong. Xie Qingliu had been up and down five or six times, and his mouth... why was it so red?

"No, why hasn't Qingyu come up yet? Nothing really happened." Mei Mei was so anxious that she almost called the police, but Xie Qingliu seemed to be still trying hard, and she was afraid of delaying him.

Ten minutes later, Xie Qingliu and Lin Qingyu supported each other and climbed out of the water. Mei Mei's nervousness gradually eased. At least they were fine. But Lin Qingyu was really strong. She could hold on in the water for so long... Hmm? How did she hold on for more than ten minutes without showing her head? Mei Mei's eyes fell on their mouths.

pS: Haha!!!

Chapter 30 Don't Be Willful

Whoosh whoosh!

Sitting on the edge of the field, Xie Qingliu basked in the warm sunshine. His wet clothes still felt slightly cold, but it felt so good to be alive.

He didn't expect that shooting a simple video would almost result in a loss of life. This was a lesson that if you want to enjoy life, you must be prepared for everything. Logically, Lin Qingyu was the most familiar with this place, but she was the one who encountered an accident. This was something Xie Qingliu didn't expect.

I turned my head to look at the girl lying on the lawn in a daze. She has been in this state since she came out of the water, as if she had lost her soul. Could she really be possessed by a water ghost?

"The blanket is here, Qingliu, change your clothes quickly."

At this time, Mei Mei rushed over, panting and carrying two large bags.

If they went back like this, it would only make the old man worry, so they simply asked Mei Mei to go home to get new clothes and blankets, and let everyone rest for a while.

A few minutes later, Xie Qingliu, who had changed into clean clothes in the bushes, returned to the starting point. Coincidentally, he ran into Lin Qingyu changing clothes. Although he tried his best to avoid looking, sometimes... he couldn't help himself when he saw the benefits in front of him.

Lin Qingyu does look petite, but she is not actually the skinny type. Her well-trained body is very well-proportioned. Her muscles are not prominent, but she has clear lines, which reminds Xie Qingliu of those fitness beauties.

But compared to these...

"She's so short, but why do her legs look so long?" Xie Qingliu swallowed and muttered, then walked forward as if nothing had happened and coughed softly: "Take a break, and then summarize this accident."

Mei Mei and Lin Qingyu sat on the lawn in silence, one of them had not yet recovered from what had just happened, and the other was really summing up her thoughts.

"This accident made me realize that I took things for granted." Xie Qingliu said seriously, "We are going to shoot a food video, so it is better to ignore many trivial things. So try to avoid doing dangerous things in the future. What do you think?"

"Qingliu, I don't blame you this time." Mei Mei frowned and said, "This place has a complicated terrain. Accidents are unavoidable. Besides, this is our first time..."
