She’s Hard to Get - C302 Upgraded to Chef

“The reason why you don’t like it now is because you’re full.”

Ouyang Jue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Ning Caier’s pouting look. He kept denying that she wasn’t trying to get along with him, and he also didn’t want this fishing boat to really return to the island. It was because facing a large group of people that couldn’t speak a single word. If that happened, they would still not be rescued. They could only live a simple life like the people on the island.

Furthermore, the small island that Ning Caier was talking about was more like a fairy tale. He remembered that she had seen something similar when she was young.

When he was young, this kind of novel was popular. The small island in Ning Caier’s memories might very well have come from this novel, but he knew that if he were to tell Ning Caier about this, she would definitely find him even more boring. Thus, he could only use a scientific method to explain things, hoping that Ning Caier would abandon that fairy tale.

“That’s true. After so many years, I’m not sure if that island has ever existed, but it’s a pity that the distance to the shore is too far. Otherwise, we can swim back!”

Ning Caier rubbed her messy hair and measured the distance between them on the map with her hands. Her entire expression looked extremely relaxed, perhaps only in this place where no one knew the two could Ning Caier abandon her surroundings and truly be herself. Although Ning Caier had a sickly face like this, in Ouyang Jue’s eyes, she, who was so confident, was the most charming.

He knew that Ning Caier was joking around with him. He did not want to return to the ice-cold sea water at the moment, not to mention the sea water that almost drowned the two of them to death. If he was allowed to choose between swimming and living on that island, he would definitely choose to live on that island.

“Let’s forget about swimming back. I don’t have the strength to swim right now. The captain said we can reach the shore in at most ten days. We’ll think of something when we reach the shore.”

Ouyang Jue started to clean up the tableware in the kitchen. He was used to packing up everything after cooking, but the fresh water on the boat was extremely precious, so he could only use seawater for cleaning. The seawater was extremely salty, making his plate smell like ocean water.

He could give up on his parents for Ning Caier. They had the entire TiaoAo Group as support, and even without him, they would be able to receive very good care of him. Furthermore, facing his father and mother like them, he did not really want to go back.

But Ning Caier was different, she still had her own family members, her parents were overseas, if they did not get her care, they might expose themselves on the streets, so they could not stay outside, they had to think of a way to return.

“Then I will find a way to ask them tomorrow. Since they can save us, they shouldn’t be bad people, and I might even have some power to communicate with them.”

Ning Caier believed in the character of these people. Since they wanted to save others, they must think of a way to bring them back home, and as for the topic of communication, it could slowly improve. Ouyang Jue wasn’t someone who could stay calm at times, but she could, maybe she could use his own slow actions to let these people understand what they were trying to do.

“Communication is fine, but I think you need to change your clothes. That won’t do.”

Ouyang Jue pointed to the shirt on Ning Caier’s body, it was simply too strange, it completely didn’t fit her body. Although Ouyang Jue could understand that the clothes on the ship only belonged to males and not females, he should still choose a small piece of clothing for Ning Caier. Right now, the shirt was completely wrapped around Ning Caier’s body like a gunny sack, causing her entire body to float around.

“I want to change it as well. This is indeed a little strange.”

Ning Caier waved her sleeves that were too long. From the size of the clothes, it was not difficult for her to see how strong its original owner was, to the point that the shirt was worn on her body like a skirt. Although the length of the shirt was already at her knees, looking at her bare legs, she still felt that it wasn’t appropriate to wear this way.

“But if you could give me scissors and needle and thread, I could turn it into something that would suit me very well.”

Ning Caier touched the shirt’s material. This shirt was made of pure cotton, although there were a lot of stains on it, but if it was cleaned, there would still be a lot of potential to be trimmed.

“Then I’ll ask the captain tomorrow. There should be more of these simple things here. But ask the captain to bring us the clothes we were wearing when we boarded the ship. They may have been a little shaven, but I don’t want you to wear these fishy clothes either. ”

Ouyang Jue knew that Ning Caier had fully revived here, and what had improved was not only her body but her emotions as well. She was as confident and full of herself as before, and even the emotions on her face was a smile that came from the bottom of her heart. This kind of expression made him want to look at it a bit longer, so he involuntarily stopped the blade that was currently being washed in his hand, and stood there watching her silently.

Actually, the meaning of having Ning Caier change into their clothes was the second level, which was to declare her sovereignty over them. He did not want Ning Caier to be stained with the scent of other men, even if it was only a little bit, he would feel that she would be twisted if she did not want Ning Caier to change his clothes.

“It’s good to be able to change into our own clothes, but I think we should do one more thing.”

Ning Caier seemed to be deep in thought as she looked at the map on the wall. However, the things she said had nothing to do with leaving this place, but had something to do with the people here. She knew that the things that he and Ouyang Jue could do here were limited, so she requested for Ouyang Jue to use what they were good at to help the people here.

“Ouyang Ziyun, how about we make a meal for the people here tomorrow morning? They definitely won’t be able to eat as delicious as you.”

Even if it was just raw fish fillets, they were as thin as a cicada’s wing and would melt in its mouth. When she saw the pieces of fish just now, she really wanted to swallow them into her stomach. This kind of cooking technique wasn’t something that only she could cook and should let everyone have a taste of. The people here must want to have a taste of this kind of delicacy after all the hard work they do in fishing every day.

“This is just a small matter. I’ll get up early to cook tomorrow, but I think it will be daylight soon. Let’s not go back to the storage room tonight, we’ll stay here.”

Ouyang Jue gently embraced Ning Caier and he realised that this kitchen was much more comfortable than their trash room. At least, the place was big and airy, so he directly spread the bedding in the storage room onto the table in the kitchen and laid on top with Ning Caier. Because it was a dining table, the bed was at least three to four meters long, but it was also very narrow. It was only about a meter wide.

“Not bad, it’s kind of like a hard bed at home.” Ning Caier used Ouyang Jue’s arm as a pillow. As long as he was there, it didn’t matter if she slept on the floor, so she fell asleep very quickly. Ouyang Jue followed closely behind and they met each other in their dreams.

They thought they wouldn’t sleep long in a place like this, but they didn’t wake up until the next morning, when the workers came to eat. This made them a exhibit on the fishing boat, and everyone had a vague smile on their faces when they did.

There were even people who wanted to prank them when they walked past. Ouyang Jue did this on the fishing boat because he was full of men and didn’t know how hungry they were. They were all men, but only he could hug his girlfriend and sleep together.

Ouyang Jue was awoken by the smell of food. It turned out that in order to not disturb their sleep, these crew members had all squatted on the ground and prepared breakfast.

This made Ouyang Jue very embarrassed, he immediately went to the side to help, at the same time, he took a knife and demonstrated his knife skills, this sort of skillful boning techniques immediately shocked everyone, and immediately indicated with his hand, that the future dishes should be handled by Ouyang Jue.

Ouyang Jue felt that Ning Caier was indeed right. In this world, other than being able to communicate through language, there was also the ability to communicate through food. This kind of interaction had no boundaries and was only separated by the difference between tasty and untasty. His excellent culinary skills were greatly appreciated on the boat, which also caused him and Ning Caier’s level on the boat to instantly change from that of a rescued worker to that of a Master Chef.

“Cai’er, we are very busy in the future. We have to make three meals a day.”

Ouyang Jue purposely exaggerated his uses for the fishing boat. In truth, the food here was very simple, only fish soup and some bread that had been dried before. If there was anything special that tasted like fish soup, it would be seaweed added into the fish soup, which to Ouyang Jue, was a piece of cake.

“You can even cook thirty meals a day for such a meal.”

Ning Caier knew Ouyang Jue’s strength, but for a dignified CEO of a company to actually use his culinary skills on a fishing boat, if word of this spread, it would seem like a very funny joke.

“That’s true, but fortunately I was the chef for a period of time, otherwise the crew here would have thrown us out.”

Ouyang Jue waved the kitchen knife in his hand, completely adapting to the life of a chef. These workers had to pull nets and fish immediately after breakfast, which required a lot of energy, and they also did not have time to slowly enjoy it, so eating was more of a form of food for them, so Ouyang Jue’s job was just to not make this kind of eating so boring. This kind of thing was child’s play for him.

However, Ouyang Jue’s position on the boat was not low, at least the Yu Di had finally learned to call him by name. He realized that being able to speak in a timely manner could allow him to teach others things, but this process required a lot of patience, and sometimes the crew members would not be able to learn even a single word a day.

Fortunately, Ning Caier had a lot of patience, she could repeat her actions many times. The crew here were all happy to see a female teacher teaching a lesson after working hard every day, especially a very beautiful female teacher. So the English that never became popular on this fishing boat started to slowly become popular on the boat 10 days after they boarded the boat.
