I Have a Countryside Gourmet Restaurant

Seeing the looks on the girls’ faces, Li You knew what they were thinking. He smiled and said, "What’s the matter? Want to give it a try?"

Many of the girls, including Mu Qingye, nodded.

Li You said, "Alright then, if we find a crayfish hole in a good spot later, you can try it out."

"Okay!"

"Let’s go look in some other places."

"Okay."

Li You and the girls said goodbye to Li Chi.

They soon arrived at the edge of another paddy field.

Here, Li You found a perfectly located crayfish hole.

This hole didn’t require going into the paddy; you could just lean over from the bank and pull the crayfish out.

Li You pointed at the crayfish hole and said, "This is the one. Who’s first?"

The girls, all eager to try, looked at each other.

Finally, Mu Qingye said, "I’ll go first."

Li You looked at Mu Qingye. She was wearing a top that looked something like a blouse, but not quite.

The style was very nice, and it looked even better on Mu Qingye. The only problem was that the sleeves didn’t look easy to roll up.

So he asked, "Can you roll up those sleeves?"

Mu Qingye looked at her sleeves and only then realized her outfit wasn’t suited for catching crayfish.

Because of their unique style, they really couldn’t be rolled up.

The main reason was that when she left school this morning, she never expected to be out in a paddy field catching crayfish.

Otherwise, she definitely would have worn a short-sleeved shirt or something with sleeves that were easy to roll up.

’So, what do I do now?’

’Just give up?’

Mu Qingye felt a pang of disappointment. She really wanted to experience it.

Just then, Xia Xiaoyue giggled and said, "Sister Qingye, you can just take off your top!"

"Take it off?"

Li You’s eyes lit up. ’This is getting exciting, isn’t it?’

’That beauty Xia Xiaoyue is pretty bold!’

Hearing Xia Xiaoyue say this, Mu Qingye blushed slightly.

’This girl will say anything! And the boss is right here, how could I have the nerve to take it off?’

Xia Xiaoyue giggled again. "What’s there to be embarrassed about! It’s not like you only have a bra on underneath; you’re wearing a camisole. Besides, there’s no one else here."

Li You’s eyes grew even brighter upon hearing this.

’This beauty Xia Xiaoyue really doesn’t see me as a stranger!’

’Not bad, not bad at all.’

’Still, I should probably be considerate and give them some space.’ He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, I’ll step away for a bit. You girls go ahead and catch it. I’ll come back when you’re done."

"No," Mu Qingye said at once. "Boss, you have to stay here."

She wouldn’t feel safe if Li You wasn’t there.

So, Li You couldn’t leave.

As for taking off her top, that girl Xia Xiaoyue was right. She was wearing a camisole underneath, so there really was nothing to be embarrassed about.

It was the kind of camisole you could wear on its own.

What truly made her shy was the act of taking off her top.

But she couldn’t just say that to Li You. ’Could she say, "I’m embarrassed to take my top off in front of you, so could you please turn around for a moment and come back after I’m done?"’

’That’s impossible to say out loud!’

’In that case, I might as well just be open about it.’

’I’ll just pretend it’s a jacket.’

It could basically be considered a jacket anyway.

With that thought, Mu Qingye became much more composed. She said, "Boss, you don’t need to step away. Xiaoyue is right, I’m wearing a camisole underneath that can be worn on its own. So, it’s really nothing."

Li You nodded. "Alright then."

’So she was wearing a camisole that could be worn on its own.’

’That figures. There’s no way that beauty Xia Xiaoyue would be *that* bold. Doesn’t she always keep herself modestly covered up?’

’Of course, even so, it couldn’t hide her tall, perfect figure.’

Although Mu Qingye said this, she was still a little shy.

It wasn’t a real jacket, after all.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally reached for her chest and began to unbutton her top.

One... two... three...

Once they were all undone, she quickly took off the top, revealing two smooth, lovely arms.

Of course, it wasn’t just her arms that were lovely.

The camisole was lovely too.

While this beauty wasn’t as tall as Xia Xiaoyue, her height was still around 170 centimeters (about 5’7"), which was very good.

And, the development of a certain key area was even better than Xia Xiaoyue’s.

So, overall, her figure was in no way inferior to Xia Xiaoyue’s.

Mu Qingye handed her top to Xia Xiaoyue and asked her to hold it.

Xia Xiaoyue took the top and said, "Sister Qingye, you have a great body!"

This comment made Mu Qingye’s face flush again. "You girl, that’s enough out of you," she retorted, flustered.

Then she turned to Li You and said, "Boss, I’m going to start now."

Li You nodded. "Don’t be afraid. Just reach in boldly. Crayfish in their holes usually face the entrance. So, you’ll feel its big pincers first. Be careful not to get pinched. Then, find a way to grab its pincers and drag it out. Oh, right. You should tie your hair up, too, so it doesn’t fall in the mud."

"Okay!"

Mu Qingye took out a hair tie and skillfully tied her hair up, coiling it into a bun at the back of her head.

Then she walked over to the crayfish hole and bent down.

As she bent over... Li You didn’t see anything.

Really.

Mu Qingye tentatively scraped away the fresh mud from the entrance, completely exposing the crayfish hole.

You could see there was still water inside the hole.

The next step was to reach her hand into the hole, but Mu Qingye hesitated again.

She was still a little scared, after all.

’Mainly because I don’t know if there might be something else scary in there.’

Li You said, "It’s like this for everyone the first time. Once you’ve done it, you won’t be scared anymore. Don’t be afraid, just reach your hand in."

Mu Qingye nodded, took a deep breath, and finally began to inch her hand into the hole.

As she reached further, she stopped and said, "Boss, why does the hole get smaller the deeper I go?"

Li You said, "They’re all like that. Don’t worry."

"Okay!"

Mu Qingye continued to push her hand deeper.

Suddenly, she exclaimed in delighted excitement, "I think I felt the crayfish’s pincer!"

"Really?"

Xia Xiaoyue and the other girls were also thrilled.

Li You said, "Good that you felt it. Now try to grab its pincers and pull it out."

"Okay!"

Mu Qingye continued.

A moment later, she said excitedly again, "I’ve got its pincers!"

Li You said, "Good. Pull it out."

"Okay!"

Mu Qingye slowly pulled her hand out of the hole.

Finally, she really did drag a crayfish out.

"Boss, I really pulled it out!" Mu Qingye was ecstatic.

This was the first time in her life she had ever caught a crayfish in a paddy field.

Xia Xiaoyue, Yu Wei, Ling Xiaoru, and the other girls were just as happy.

So, Mu Qingye really could pull a crayfish out of a hole.

Thrilled, they were all eager to try.

They wanted to give it a try, too.

Xia Xiaoyue said, "Don’t crayfish holes usually have two in them? Then there must be another one in there. Sister Qingye, let me try the next one. Okay?"

Mu Qingye nodded with a smile. "Okay, you can give it a try."
