Fuck you?

Shi Lei was utterly dumbfounded, I kept asking you to look, but you wouldn't.

Now my wife comes over, and you're asking what I'm holding?

Could this young boss have collaborated with my wife?

Shi Lei acted nonchalant, "Nothing, just a shabby notebook." and quickly changed the subject, "Honey, try this. The young boss's Yellow River Carp is really good. It's braised uniquely, the broth is thick, have some, it'll be nutritious for our baby."

Hao Jia seemed not to hear Shi Lei, reached out to grab the notebook, "Let me see what this is, leaving it in the trunk."

Chen Mo was curious too, "Yeah, Brother Shi, didn't you insist on showing me what's this earlier? I was busy cooking, show me then, what's that?"

Chen Mo was genuinely curious.

Brother kept trying to show it to me just now, as if it was something really impressive.

Now he refuses, this person is really strange.

"It's nothing, really... hey don't grab it!"

Hao Jia, with her belly not yet visible, directly snatched it from Shi Lei's hand — it was like the imperial sword authority.

Who dares to act rashly?

Hao Jia opened the notebook, murmured, "National Youth Cooking Competition, first place, gold award?"

"Honey, why are you holding someone else's... Winner: Shi Lei?"

At this moment, Shi Lei had only one thought in his mind.

Could a runaway car come over and kill me? It's pointless, living is really pointless.

"No... weren't you the owner of a restaurant? How do you have this award?"

Shi Lei no longer knew what to say; explaining seemed utterly futile.

Chen Mo saw that thing, "Whoa! I said it earlier, you wanted to advise me, turns out you were the national cooking competition champion! You're the one!" Chen Mo gave a thumbs up, truly admiring from the heart.

It was genuine admiration.

In any field, winning a "national" level competition championship is a huge feat. Even if some competitions are held just for fun, it's still impressive.

Shi Lei stared at Chen Mo numbingly.

What to do when you really want to curse?

"Speak up, honey!" Hao Jia urged, her mind buzzing, "Didn't you tell me you couldn't cook? And you praised my cooking every day? You couldn't even cut vegetables for me without slicing your finger?"

The more she thought, the more it felt wrong.

Hao Jia suddenly realized, "You were deceiving me the whole time? You faked not being able to cook, just to avoid cooking?"

What the heck?

Chen Mo scratched his head, feeling like he discovered something massive.

"Honey, listen to me..." Shi Lei's body and voice trembled, "I really can't cook, otherwise I would've been a chef. I can't cook, that's why I opened a restaurant."

"Can't? Won't? Or don't want to?" Hao Jia's voice turned a bit sharp.

Shi Lei was going numb, thinking about himself plopping his 180 pounds of fat onto the couch every day, mindlessly scrolling through TikTok, while listening to the clattering in the kitchen.

Every time resisting the urge to critique his wife's cooking, eating while excessively praising her culinary skills.

Even secretly adding ingredients while she was in the bathroom, making her surprisingly impressed with her own cooking.

"Is my cooking really that good? Am I really that good at it?"

Hao Jia got lost in Shi Lei's praises, even secretly deciding to improve her cooking for her beloved husband forever. And the truth?

Numbed, Shi Lei was lost, totally clueless about what to say, so he decided to keep eating.

"Honey, try this fish, it's really..."

"Get lost!" Hao Jia didn't even look, directly took the other whole fish from the counter, increasing her speed by fifty percent, charging into the driver's seat.

"Hey, that's my fish..." Chen Mo lamely raised his hand, his words weak and paltry.

Shi Lei took a deep sigh, scanned 250 yuan to Chen Mo, "Consider that fish bought by me."

Then grabbed his half-eaten fish and quickly chased after.

Chen Mo stared blankly at the now-empty food cart, thinking, "Who are you calling crazy with your 250 yuan scan?"

Also, why in your couple's quarrel are you taking my fish?

Such a headache, he could only hop out of the cart, returned to the elder uncle, saying, "Give me another fish, please."

Chen Mo noticed Shi Lei banging on the car window beside the Audi, saying things like "Honey, I was wrong, open the car door," vaguely hearing, "I'll cook for the rest of my life, don't be mad," and so on.

Chen Mo couldn't understand, how could this guy be so shameless?

A dignified national young chef champion, even if it was a small industry event, winning required skill.

Yet, after getting married, he deceived his wife he's unable to cook, making her cook for him for three years?

Is this what a human would do?

The older uncle stared confused as Chen Mo climbed to the side of the truck, scooping out three fish this time!

The traffic officer, seeing this, said to Chen Mo, "Forget it, don't throw them back, cook the extra two as well. It's meal time, everyone needs to eat, make one for this old uncle too."

Chen Mo ran over, took the scale from Shi Lei.

Brother Si Shi looked puzzled at Chen Mo weighing the fish, "What kind of audacity does this young boss have?"

The fish in the truck were all large, having fattened up over months of winter hibernation, clean of dirt, each weighing nearly two kilograms.

Chen Mo didn't want to bother calculating, "I'll just charge you for two kilos."

He handed the elder uncle 60 yuan, the traffic officer gave the elder uncle 120 yuan.

"Right, young man, how much would you charge to cook the fish?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment, after all, it was a good deed, cooking one fish saved the elder uncle from losing one, a good deed.

But he couldn't do it at a loss.

Spices, oils, all cost money.

"Okay then, officer sir."

The freshly graduated officer wasn't too pleased with the title, feeling aged 20 years.

"I won't charge by weight then, I'll charge 20 yuan per fish for cooking, what do you think?"

"Great, there are four of us, two fish should be more than enough."

The toll station staff sighed, "I'll take one too, we need to eat during shift change, might as well eat out today!"

The toll girl, shouted to tears by the elder uncle, also joined, "Give me one fish too."

After a round of orders, Chen Mo quickly secured 15 fish cooking jobs.

Tsk.

My pot is not big enough.

In his mind, the panel flickered faintly.
