Chapter 307: Chapter 287: Even Fried Fish Isn’t Tasty Anymore, I Just Want Hot Pot! (Part 2)

Want to eat hot pot again now?

You silly kid, do you know what your mom has to go through if you want to eat this hot pot?

Gao Le is only in fourth grade, she certainly doesn’t know. Anyway, she just watched her classmates and their parents eating together, devouring and bragging, and she just wants to eat!

The way Jiang Wenqing’s group eats is different from how Gao Le’s group was eating just now.

Just now, when they were eating, the parents ate a few bites sitting together, and the students in the group just took a casual bite and went to play, coming back later to eat another bite.

They said they ate, but in reality, they weren’t full. It was just that children get too absorbed in playing and forget they’re still hungry, and now they see others eating so deliciously. How can one resist the craving in their stomach?

Not only Gao Le but other parents are also facing the same situation at this moment.

They’ve already worn everything they can, what else can they do now?

At least the moms can put on more layers, but the dads who brought their kids just sighed, and a few dads seemed quite impatient, ready to pull out the Seventy Wolves.

Just then!

Wu Xiaofeng chuckled coldly twice and casually threw his thousand-dollar fishing rod on the shore.

Today is just crazy. A few kids with tree branches can catch fish at random, yet he’s been working hard for over an hour and got nothing!

It’s absurd.

But seeing Li Jingyi’s mother sitting next to Chen Mo with her lips turning red from eating, Wu Xiaofeng’s damn competitiveness arose again.

"Hey everyone, didn’t we all not get enough to eat just now?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Wu Xiaofeng stepped into the crowd of parents watching the hot pot, speaking in a voice neither loud nor soft, giving an impression of casualness as if he wasn’t deliberately saying these words.

Even Chen Mo couldn’t help but perk up his ears to listen.

"Anyway, with hot pot, the more people there are, the better it tastes. So here’s the thing," Wu Xiaofeng spoke as he deliberately glanced at the big iron pot next to Chen Mo from the corner of his eye, "I have hot pot besides barbecue too, and our group didn’t eat much just now. We just happen to have extra ingredients for the broth, so let’s all head over and have hot pot together!"

Everyone originally felt envious seeing Chen Mo’s group enjoying the fish hot pot. Now hearing Wu Xiaofeng say this, the parents immediately agreed.

Wu Xiaofeng felt he was winning again.

Even though he lost Li Jingyi’s mother, he won over more parents!

"Xiaochen, it seems like Father Wu Jun has something against us," Li Jingyi’s mother commented while munching on a slice of fish, only speaking when those people walked away.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, his hands and mouth busy, "Well, let him. No one can ensure everyone will be satisfied with what they do."

The four moms nodded simultaneously, fully agreeing.

Chen Mo continued, "Moreover, I personally think this summer camp is mainly about letting the kids get closer to nature and, at the same time, hopefully establish deep friendships with their peers."

He glanced at the four moms, each different in their charm, "To put it bluntly, it’s because of the kids that we adults are gathered here today. After today, we basically won’t have much interaction. I think Father Wu Jun is a bit too sensitive."

"Indeed." Jingyi’s mother heartily agreed, feeling that Boss Xiao Chen looks young but speaks deeply, she spoke while eating, "When he saw us fishing, he took out his gear to fish as well. Seeing us eating hot pot, he calls others over to eat hot pot with him. How boring."

Chen Mo didn’t respond this time.

The world is full of all kinds of people, and some folks are just like that, especially when there’s a crowd of the opposite sex around. They can’t help but want to show off.

They desperately wish all the attention was on them.

To such people, Chen Mo just wanted to say...

[Master, the kind of person you have in mind seems quite like yourself.]

Chen Mo: ?

"Are you kidding? Am I that kind of person?"

[Well... aren’t you?]

Damn it!

Chen Mo pretended not to hear the system’s voice in his mind, thinking that this little system has become less obedient, showing up even when not summoned. Will it become uncontrollable in the future?

I’ll remove a tire tonight to show it who’s boss!

A five-pound grass carp was sliced into thin strips, making seven or eight plates when laid out.

But in front of this group of starving folks in Chen Mo’s group, it seemed far from enough. Before long, there were more and more empty plates.

Soon, there was only the last plate left.

Li Jingyi’s mother sighed a bit, "This fish is really good, Xiao Chen, can you teach me how to slice the meat this thin later?"

"Wow! I want to learn too! Our family loves hot pot, but no one enjoys beef or mutton. Pork doesn’t taste good when boiled, and we always end up cooking a lot of meatballs and vegetables in the hot pot, finishing with noodles. If I could slice meat this thin in the future, that’d be great."

"It’s truly delicious, feels even better than the fish hot pot restaurants in the mall. Xiao Chen, if you have time, teach us how to make the hot pot sauce too! I was drooling from the smell while you were cooking over there~"

That’s why they say, sharing a meal can quickly bring people closer together.

After a few plates of meat, the four moms were laughing and chatting with Chen Mo, significantly closer in relationship.

Chen Mo set down the vegetable basket he just picked up, "From the sound of it, it seems like none of you have eaten enough. So what, I’ll go catch another fish, and we can eat more, and you can learn too."
