Beauty and the Beasts
Fish Not Popular among Beastmen

Bai Qingqing held onto her stomach and said pitifully, “But I am really hungry. I want to eat rice.. ”Tiba suddenly remembered that Parker hates women who eat rice, he immediately corrected himself. I mean, I want to eat meat.

Parker's heart softened and he replied, “Then I will go and hunt smaller prey.”

Bai Qingqing was not used to bothering others. They were some distance from the forest, and he could not bear to let Parker go all the way there to get food for him. “Is there food near here? There must be fish in the river, right? ”

“You eat fish? It doesn't taste good! ” Parker looked at Bai Qingqing with a look of disbelief on her face. He then remembered something and continued, “Oh right, you are an ape. Apes are omnivorous animals. I didn't know your people liked to eat fish. ”

Parker couldn't believe it. The fish has a fishy taste so he cannot swallow it. And there are so many small bones in the meat — how will he eat them? Leopards will only catch large fish when they need a fish whose bones, and they will throw their meat into the river to feed other fish. Only physically disabled beastmen would gnaw fish to satisfy their hunger.

“Fish it's delicious.” Bai Qingqing was also confused. However, he remembered that here, they did not even season their flesh when they roasted it and understood a little more. “It feels good after you put a little of that medicinal herb on it.”

“Good. If you like to eat fish, I'll go to the river to catch fish for you. They are easily caught. I'll be right back.” Parker then took off her skirt in front of Bai Qingqing without a care in the world, turned into a leopard, and ran out.

Bai Qingqing was now used to seeing Parker's private parts. His face reddened for a moment, and then he acted as if nothing had happened.

Soon, a wet leopard returned with a large fish a meter long between its jaws, leaving plum blossom-shaped footprints behind.

Bai Qingqing glanced at him. From his familiar expression, he knew that it was Parker. He gave her a small smile. “It's fast.”

Parker spat out the fish, which was still rolling around despite the stomach contents. He proudly raised his head, then turned back into a human, the moisture in his fur instantly escaping in the process.

“Sprinkling—” The ground under Parker's feet feels cool from the water.

Bai Qingqing subconsciously turned her head and looked towards the straw pole at her feet.

“Good.” Bai Qingqing felt that the logs were quite interesting. He could combine it with the cooking methods used on Earth and create more delicious food.

Parker brought some branches with dense green foliage resembling a Chinese umbrella tree and threw them into the bonfire. Fresh wood immediately lit up as they came into contact with the fire as if it had poured oil on it. The blue smoke billowing from the fire had the fresh smell of willow bark.

Bai Qingqing held her breath in surprise. So willow trees are high in lipids. He had no idea that such an interesting species existed in nature.

Parker was going to grill the fish when Bai Qingqing regained her senses and quickly shouted, “Wait!”

“Hah?” Parker turned around and looked at Bai Qingqing.

“You will only bake fish like that?” Bai Qingqing was shocked. “Aren't you going to scale it? Aren't you gonna rip out the gills? ”

Although she had not really cooked, she had helped her mother in the kitchen many times before. Therefore, he knows how to clean the fish: intestines, scales, remove the gills.

Can the fish be eaten with the scales still there? If someone bites him, his mouth will be full of scales. And the gills of — can be there is a lot of sand in it, and it feels strong and fishy. People don't like to eat fish.

Parker immediately replied, “After all the fish had to be roasted outside. Wouldn't it be cleaner if you left the scales on? And you didn't even eat his head. Why do you need to throw away the gills? That's troublesome. “

Bai Qingqing was speechless as her words made sense.

He wasn't sure if he should scale the fish before roasting it, and he was even more unsure if he could eat the fish with his scales still attached. Therefore, he simply carried the stone basin and walked out, then said in an authoritative voice, “Then we will not roast the fish. We'll boil it! ”

“Boiling?” There was confusion in Parker's eyes.
