Shen Ruoxi cleaned the fish, sharpened her knife, cut the fish into slices, and marinated it with seasonings.

Take the plate and go to the corner to grab the sauerkraut.

Sauerkraut is water pickled cabbage, which is pickled in every household. It smells sour and refreshing, and tastes full of flavor.

Shen Ruoxi put the sauerkraut, and an alluring sour smell hit her face, making her saliva salivate.

In addition to sauerkraut, I also grabbed some pickled peppers and pickled ginger. These are the key to removing the fishy smell. When I first started eating fish, I added these two things to remove the fishy smell. The fish I made was full of flavor and very delicious.

Take the side dishes to the cutting board and chop them one by one.

Shen Suhong walked into the kitchen with fish leaves in one hand and green onions in the other. She put the things in her hands into the dustpan and said, "Ruoxi, I have washed them, you can just cut them."

Shen Ruoxi responded, "Okay."

Shen Suhong stood aside and watched Shen Ruoxi cutting vegetables, "Ruoxi, what else can you do besides cooking fish? I'll prepare it?"

Shen Ruohan was cooking, and she was preparing the dishes. There was nothing to do in the kitchen. After thinking about it, Shen Ruoxi remembered something, "Go to the village and buy me fifty eggs."

Shen Suhong was puzzled, "What do you want so many eggs for?"

Shen Ruoxi felt that it was not easy to explain, so she did not explain, "Go and buy it for me. I will use it. You can take the money from your purse and I will put it in the medicine box in the room."

Shen Suhong took a piece of pickled cabbage and ate it, "Okay, I'm going."

Shen Ruoxi prepared the fish side dishes and went to the field to chop three lettuces and a head of Chinese cabbage.

Cut the lettuce into shreds, marinate it with salt, and then fry the shredded pork and lettuce.

Only the leaves of Chinese cabbage can be pickled and eaten as pickles.

After Shen Ruohan steamed the white rice, Shen Ruoxi started cooking. The kitchen was steaming and filled with the aroma of food.

Zhong Zhouyi came to Shen's house alone, and then walked to the kitchen, "Ruoxi, I brought some dishes to go with the wine."

Shen Ruoxi smiled helplessly, "I asked you to come over for dinner, but you actually brought your own food."

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to be so clear-cut between friends." Zhong Zhouyi took out some plates from the cupboard and put the crispy peanuts, chestnut cake, spicy chicken and soy sauce chicken he brought over one by one on the plates.

Shen Ruoxi glanced at it, feeling a little embarrassed, "It cost you money."

Zhong Zhouyi smiled, "If you say that again, I'll be embarrassed to stay for dinner."

Shen Ruoxi said quickly, "Then I won't say anything anymore. You have a rest. There are still two pots of food, which will be ready in a moment."

Zhong Zhouyi said considerately, "Don't be in a hurry, it's still early."

After a while, Shen Da walked out of the room and heard people talking in the kitchen. He walked over and asked, "Are you all here?"

"Dad." Shen Ruoxi and Shen Ruohan shouted together.

Zhong Zhouyi greeted, "Uncle Shen."

"Who are you?" Shen Da has never met Zhong Zhouyi, so he doesn't know him.

Shen Ruoxi quickly introduced, "Dad, his name is Zhong Zhouyi. He is the young master of the Zhong family. Zhou Yi, he is my father."

"I've heard of you, but I didn't expect you to be so outstanding." Shen Da smiled on his face and welcomed Zhong Zhouyi.

Zhong Zhouyi said modestly, "Uncle Shen is too generous."

Shen Da had a very good impression of Zhong Zhouyi. He was good-looking and spoke elegantly. "He is indeed a scholar. He speaks in an elegant manner. It sounds like he is knowledgeable."

Everyone laughed and realized that if you talk to knowledgeable people, you will also become more knowledgeable.

Talking and laughing, it's dinner time.

Several people helped bring the food to the main room, and then sat down around the table, waiting for Shen Zhen to use his chopsticks.

When Shen Zhen saw his son coming out of the room to eat, he was filled with emotion for a moment, "Shen Da, you must insist on taking medicine and follow Ruoxi's doctor's advice to cure the disease completely as soon as possible."

Shen Da felt that he was ashamed of his parents, "Dad, I listened to everything and took the medicine on time. There is no problem."

Grandma Shen looked at her eldest son's skinny appearance, her eyes were sore and sore, "You, eat better in the future and replenish your body. It looks like you are all bones."

Xu Qinglan said, "Grandma, don't worry, we will take good care of daddy."

Grandma Shen nodded, "You are all filial children."

The meal was filled with joy because of Shen Da's recovery, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Shen Ruoxi gave Kang'er a piece of meat without thorns from the fish neck, "I was afraid that everyone couldn't eat spicy food, so I made pickled fish. Please be careful when eating, there are a lot of thorns."

Xiaokang'er was very happy, "Second aunt, the pickled fish is delicious."

Shen Ruoxi particularly liked Xiao Kang'er, "Second aunt will give you another piece."

"Yeah." Xiaokang'er nodded his head.

Zhong Zhouyi ate the fish and secretly praised Shen Ruoxi's cooking skills, good medical skills, good cooking skills, not to mention her appearance, who would marry Ruoxi in the future...

Thinking of this, he felt sad and couldn't accept Ruoxi being with other men.

He secretly looked at Shen Ruoxi.

Shen Ruoxi was wearing a lavender narrow-sleeved Hanfu today, which looked good and beautiful. Her side face was fair and delicate, as if she were seeing peach blossoms in March.

Shen Ruoxi saw Zhong Zhouyi's sad face, so she asked with concern, "Is the food not to your liking? Or are you feeling unwell?"

Zhong Zhouyi smiled and said, "The food is delicious. I have taken the medicine and I don't feel any discomfort."

"That's good." Shen Ruoxi glanced at Zhong Zhouyi a few more times, "You caught the fish yourself, so eat more."

Zhong Zhouyi smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

Shen Da looked at the two of them, why would Ruoxi invite Zhong Zhouyi to dinner? It's confusing!

After dinner, it was completely dark.

Shen Ruoxi sent Zhong Zhouyi to the gate, and a boy from the Zhong family came to pick him up, "Zhou Yi, walk slowly."

Zhong Zhouyi walked out of the yard and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Can I still have dinner with you in the future?"

Shen Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure, you are always welcome."

With a faint smile on his face, Zhong Zhouyi followed the boy back home.

…

After the kitchen was tidied up, Shen Ruoxi came to the kitchen with powdered sugar and butter, and then called Shen Ruohan over, "I have prepared the ingredients for making cookies, and I will teach you tonight."

Shen Ruohan perked up and said, "Second sister, I will study hard."

"Okay." Shen Ruoxi took out some flour and eggs, and the ingredients were ready.

The first step is to soften the butter until it can be pressed easily with your fingers.

Then Shen Ruohan started to ask questions, "Second sister, what is this?"

"This is butter, extracted from milk. I will tell you how to make it later." Shen Ruoxi answered patiently.

Shen Ruohan nodded and studied hard.

After the butter has softened, add powdered sugar to it and stir continuously with chopsticks until the color becomes lighter and the volume becomes larger.

Then add the egg liquid in portions and mix evenly with chopsticks.

Finally add the flour, in small portions, and mix until there is no dry powder left.
