Xu Yang covered the pot with the lid and ran to catch the chick.

This chick was quite agile; seeing Xu Yang approaching, it quickly sprinted away on its tiny legs.

This was indeed an agile chick.

Xu Yang was nimble, but he didn’t want to chase chickens on camera, so he turned around and yelled,

“Yuanbao, go, bring it back in your mouth!”

“Don’t hurt it!”

As soon as Xu Yang’s words fell, the poised Maquan immediately sprang into action, moving extremely fast.

Still as a maiden at rest, wild as a crazed rabbit in motion.

The Maquan became a blur of shadow, and in no time, it had the chick in its mouth.

The viewers were all stunned.

What was that thing that just whizzed by?

Did the host raise a Flash?

When the drone camera caught up, viewers could see the Maquan strutting back like a victorious general, proudly carrying the spoils of war, handing it over to Xu Yang.

“Well done.”

Xu Yang petted its head, praising it.

[Holy moly, that Little Ma Quan is pretty fierce, it runs so fast!]

[Maquans are originally hunting dogs; now many are also police dogs!]

[Haha, it even knows how to herd dogs to catch chickens!]

[No mediocrity raised on this farm!]

The sudden excitement also made the viewers in the livestream laugh.

The chick chirped in Xu Yang’s hands.

Xu Yang held the chick, walked over to the chicken coop, and placed it inside the house with the other chicks.

He walked around the yard of the chicken coop, curious about how the little fellow had gotten out.

He checked around, and there was no hole in the courtyard wall; it didn’t squeeze through.

Such a small chicken couldn’t possibly have flown out, right?

It probably slipped out when the door was opened earlier and hadn’t been noticed until now.

After putting the chick away, Xu Yang returned to the yard to continue preparing the meal.

The unexpected interlude did not dampen his spirits.

In the pot, there were chicks and mushrooms stewing.

Xu Yang brought over a griddle, placed it on the grill, and then started taking out several clean Bigfoot Mushrooms.

Bigfoot Mushrooms, also known as Bovine Liver Mushrooms, are a valuable type of mushroom, nutritionally and tastefully superior, truly a treasure.

“I’ve been thinking about these Bigfoot Mushrooms all day; I didn’t expect to find so many.”

“Let’s eat a few while they’re fresh tonight,” Xu Yang told his viewers.

Someone in the livestream explained that the Bigfoot Mushrooms Xu Yang took out looked great and were probably worth a couple of hundred dollars each.

When they heard that eating a mushroom could cost two to three hundred dollars, everyone felt intensely envious.

Magnate, indeed!

They only saw Xu Yang take out a piece of butter, pick it up with chopsticks, and place it on the griddle.

“Sizzle sizzle~”

The butter quickly started to melt.

Then, Xu Yang took a Bigfoot Mushroom, took a long knife, and sliced the mushroom into pieces.

He used chopsticks to pick up the mushroom slices and placed them on the griddle to grill.

Griddling Bigfoot Mushrooms.

High-end ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods.

The mushroom slices, under the high heat of the grill, quickly shrank around the edges, showing a slight golden-brown color.

Tiny bubbles continued to form in the butter on the griddle.

“Grilling mushrooms requires attention to the heat; if grilled too little, they’re still raw, if grilled too long, they become tough,” Xu Yang explained.

“You want to take them off just when they’re about eight or nine tenths done.”

“Look carefully, everyone, as soon as the mushroom slices turn golden, they’re ready.”

Xu Yang placed several mushroom slices down consecutively.

In that moment, he transformed into a culinary master, comfortably cooking delicious food before the camera.

Seeing the state of the mushroom slices, many viewers couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

[What’s going on, this looks even more appetizing than grilled meat!]

[That looks really good!]

[The ambiance is amazing!]

[Brother Yang is still so stylish!]

The drone camera zoomed in and out.

It was summer, the sun set slowly, and the temperature at dusk was just perfect, making sitting outdoors in the cool breeze exceptionally pleasant.

Two dogs lay resting beside them.

In the hazy distance, three sneaky figures appeared.

They seemed to have smelled something delicious and came over, following the scent.

It was those three Little Foxes.

“You got here so quickly?”

Xu Yang saw the Little Fox and found it quite intriguing.

“It must have made a nest nearby!”

He speculated roughly.

If a fox lived in the forest, it certainly wouldn’t come over at dusk, after all, they only move in familiar areas at night; this time should be near their den.

Now coming over, it means they live very close to here.

The online audience watched this scene and grew more envious as they watched.

Xu Yang brought a plate and placed the fried mushroom slices onto it.

He didn’t need much seasoning; he just sprinkled some cumin according to his liking and a bit of fine salt.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Then, Xu Yang picked up a piece of sizzling, golden mushroom, blew on it, and placed it in his mouth.

The mushrooms were tender and smooth, becoming very elastic after being grilled at high temperatures.

Chewing it, the heat and delicious flavor burst forth simultaneously.

A quintessential taste unique to mushrooms.

After tasting a piece, there was a look of enjoyment on Xu Yang’s face.

“Not bad at all, these grilled mushrooms are very fresh.”

“You really can’t find this deliciousness anywhere else.”

“Perfect!”

Xu Yang exclaimed.

Seeing his reaction, the audience unconsciously drooled.

For some reason, seeing him eat made them hungry too.

Xu Yang picked up another piece of the grilled golden mushroom and chewed carefully.

The texture was firm, smooth, and a bit bouncy.

The grilled aroma wafted from the mushrooms.

Paired with a hint of cumin flavor.

It was truly delicious.

He ate several slices continuously and was still not satisfied, so he cut open two Bigfoot Mushrooms and prepared to grill another plate.

At that moment, he turned his head and saw five little ones staring at him.

Two dogs, three foxes.

These little ones had their limits; they neither clamored nor jumped on the table but just waited by the side.

“Are you looking for mushrooms to eat?”

“Aren’t they everywhere on the mountainside?”

Xu Yang saw the look on Little Fox’s face and couldn’t help but laugh.

The two little male foxes immediately cried out ying ying ying, as if they were saying the mushrooms in the forest taste horrible, we want the cooked ones too.

Foxes are omnivores after all; they can eat anything.

So, they wanted to taste the good flavors.

Predators are different, like tigers and leopards; they can only eat raw meat.

Xu Yang fried a few more mushroom slices, sprinkled a tiny bit of fine salt, put them on a plate to cool, and then called the little ones over once the mushrooms were cool.

“Come, eat mushrooms.”

Xu Yang called them over.

The little ones immediately gathered around.

Each little one got a slice of mushroom, and Bigfoot Mushrooms are expensive, so using them to feed animals was quite extravagant.

But Xu Yang didn’t mind those details; he only cared about what he wanted to do at the moment.

The scene looked very gentle, and the live session became lively again.

[Such cute little foxes!]

[So adorable!]

[Old Xu, I want to eat mushrooms too!]

[Which mushrooms do you want to eat? Old Xu’s big mushrooms?]

[Is it the kind that grows big? If it doesn’t enlarge, I won’t eat!]

[Damn! My eyes! This isn’t a kindergarten bus; I want to get off!]

Xu Yang fed the little ones some mushrooms, then cleaned up the remaining grilled mushroom slices himself.

At that moment, he picked up a bottle of ice-cold cola, leaned back in the chair, and took a big gulp.

It was mainly because Xu Yang didn’t like drinking alcohol; he could drink a little beer at parties, but he absolutely wouldn’t drink it by himself on regular days.

Otherwise, drinking alcohol at this time would have felt even better.

“The Bigfoot Mushroom tastes really good, very fragrant.”

“Grilling mushrooms is a bit greasy, I’ll try another method.”

Xu Yang removed the hotplate, then found a bamboo skewer and skewered a few pieces of mushroom and chicken, then started grilling them over the fire.

The online audience quickly caught on.

[My goodness, are those wild mushroom chicken skewers? Isn’t that an item from a video game?]

[Indeed, I thought it looked familiar!]

[Why do you get to play an adventure exploration game in real life!]

[This world is really like a massive Genshin Impact!]

[Is the streamer a Traveler?]

The live session grew lively, and the chat became noisy again.

Xu Yang didn’t pay attention and just skewered two skewers of mushroom and chicken, focusing intently as he grilled them over the charcoal fire.
