Chen Zhaozhao made a soup with fish bones and fish heads, made fish balls with fish meat, and braised fish cubes.
Two large bowls of fish each were brought to the table, and the aroma immediately filled the room.
"It smells so good~" Chen Xiaoni exclaimed with bright eyes.
Yu Jinggui looked at the dishes on the table and smelled the fragrance in the air. He suddenly felt very hungry. Looking at the rich fish soup, the bright fish balls and the delicious fish pieces, he had the urge to try it quickly.
This is something he rarely feels about food.
Seeing these dishes, he really felt for the first time what it meant to have both color and aroma, but he just didn't know how they tasted.
Other vegetables and rice are served, and the meal is ready.
Everyone gathered in the main room and were surprised to see the food cooked by Chen Zhaozhao. Chen Zhaozhao had hardly ever cooked before. They never expected that the food she cooked was so fragrant and beautiful.
"Zhaozhao, the food you cook is delicious and beautiful. You are really amazing." Chen Simei was the first to praise.
She has now become Chen Zhaozhao's number one fan.
"How did you do this? How could you do it so beautifully?"
"I just thought of it, so I did it." Chen Zhaozhao smiled sheepishly and explained that she had been a cook in her previous life and learned cooking, side dishes, and plating.
In fact, she just laid out the dishes a little bit, and didn't make it too detailed. It's just that most rural people in this era are not particular about cooking and don't know how to stir-fry. In addition, there is little oil, so they basically just stew in one pot.
After all, some food is good, so who cares about it?
"Everyone, let's eat quickly and see how it tastes." Chen Zhaozhao greeted. She didn't want to continue to be praised. She felt guilty after being praised too much.
She began to serve soup for everyone, "Drink some fish soup first, it won't taste as good when it gets cold."
The soup bowls were delivered to everyone one by one. Chen Simei was the first to drink it impatiently, "Wow! It's so fresh and fragrant! There's no fishy smell at all. It's so delicious."
Everyone else also drank the soup one by one, and they were all amazed by the taste of fish soup, especially Yu Jinggui. He had eaten fish soup before, and he didn't like eating fish very much before, and he didn't like drinking fish soup even more.
But the fish soup he drank now refreshed his understanding.
He also gained a new understanding of Chen Zhaozhao, and found that the more he got in touch with him, the more surprised he became.
However, when he remembered her behavior that night, all the surprises suddenly disappeared.
Chen Zhaozhao is very particular about his cooking, and with the addition of Youling Spring water, the taste is simply too good to be described in words.
The family was very happy and satisfied after eating.
After dinner, Chen Zhaozhao couldn't wait to ask Yu Jinggui, "How was it? What's the price?"
"Eight hairs." Yu Jinggui said.
Chen Zhaozhao's eyes lit up. She was also thinking about Bamao. She had the same level of thinking as the big boss. Did she also have the potential to become a big boss?
Now the fish on the black market in Huixi County is 40 cents per pound, but she sells it for 80 cents. Although it is expensive, it is not too much.
Customers who can buy her 20 cents per pound of vegetables can accept this price if they like to eat fish.
"Bamao, let's sell those three pieces tomorrow to test the market." Chen Zhaozhao said slightly excitedly.
Yu Jinggui nodded.
Others, "..."
Although I thought the fish was too expensive at 80 cents per pound at first, but since vegetables are so expensive, it is easy to sell, so this fish must be fine.
Everyone in the village went to bed early, but Chen Zhaozhao and the others had to go to bed earlier because they were going to sell vegetables the next day.
Half an hour after dinner, they washed up and got ready for bed.
Because Yu Jinggui stayed overnight, there was no extra room in the house.
Tonight Chen Xiaoni and Liu Guihua sleep in Chen Simei's room, Chen Simei goes to sleep with Chen Zhaozhao, and Yu Jinggui sleeps with Chen Dawang.
After washing up and getting ready to go to bed, the light of a flashlight came from outside the hospital, and then a female voice came from outside the hospital.
"Zhao Zhao."
Hearing this voice, Chen Zhaozhao's face suddenly darkened.
Her change was so rapid and severe that Yu Jinggui frowned when he realized that he didn't understand why Chen Zhaozhao and Jiang Yuzhi were so good before, so how could their relationship become like this now.
What happened in the more than three years since he left?
"Zhaozhao~" Jiang Yuzhi entered the courtyard. Along with her was a female educated youth named Qian Xia.
Chen Zhaozhao turned around and opened the door of the main room. Jiang Yuzhi and Qian Xia quickly came outside.
"Zhaozhao~I'm here~" Jiang Yuzhi said hello with a smile and wanted to enter. Chen Zhaozhao blocked the door and had no intention of letting her in.
"What are you doing? It's so cold outside! Let us in quickly." Jiang Yuzhi said in a sweet voice with a bit of a young lady's temper. She glanced in and saw Yu Jinggui, and was pleasantly surprised, "Brother Yu."
She shouted and wanted to push Chen Zhaozhao away and go in, but she didn't.
Jiang Yuzhi looked at Chen Zhaozhao, and the joy on her face turned into questioning and anger, "Zhaozhao, what do you mean?"
"We are getting ready to sleep. What do you want to do here?" Chen Zhaozhao asked coldly.
"I came to see you. I heard that you have recovered from your injury. I am very happy. I asked for leave and went back to the city to bring you some snacks." She said and looked at Qian Xia.
Qian Xia handed the paper bag she was carrying to Chen Zhaozhao, "The snacks Yuzhi brought from the provincial capital are delicious."
Chen Zhaozhao didn't answer, "If you like, I'll leave it to you." Then he looked at Jiang Yuzhi, "I, you've seen it too, if you have nothing to do, go back quickly, we have to rest."
"It's still so early." Jiang Yuzhi frowned and said unhappily: "I just came back today and came to see you after dinner. Is this how you treat me? Zhaozhao, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you sure you are here to see me?" Chen Zhaozhao asked with a half-smile.
"It's not you, or who it is?" Jiang Yuzhi lied without blushing. Of course she didn't come to see Chen Zhaozhao. She came only after knowing that Yu Jinggui was here. Otherwise, she wouldn't want to be there so late at night.
If you come here, is Chen Zhaozhao the right one?
"I don't believe it." Chen Zhaozhao was very direct.
Jiang Yuzhi, "..."
She looked at Chen Zhaozhao inquiringly. If it were before, she would have been angry with Chen Zhaozhao for coaxing her, and she would never talk to her like this.
What happened to her?
"Zhaozhao, what do you mean?"
"Literally." Chen Zhaozhao didn't want to waste time with her, so he urged her again, "It's very late, we have to rest, you can go back."
"You..." Jiang Yuzhi was so angry that she took a deep breath and looked over Chen Zhaozhao at Yu Jinggui, "Brother Yu, go sleep at the educated youth spot. It's a big place and there are beds available, and I've already laid them out.
"
Jiang Yuzhi's heart was shaking with excitement at the end. The news that Chen Zhaozhao could not marry Yu Jinggui had spread throughout the village. She had to work hard to create opportunities for herself. She believed that she would succeed.
Since Chen Zhaozhao was so rude to her, she decided to provoke her and continued: "Since you are not going to marry Zhaozhao, it would be a bad idea to spend the night at her house. What if..."
Jiang Yuzhi didn't finish her words, but her expression reminded people of Chen Zhaozhao's use of tricks to get Chen Xiaoni. She reminded Yu Jinggui to stay overnight at Chen Zhaozhao's house and be careful of Chen Zhaozhao repeating his old tricks.
She was very surprised that Yu Jinggui should hate Chen Zhaozhao, so why would he spend the night at Chen Zhaozhao's house? This was not something he would do at all.
Could it be... Her eyes widened in horror, "Brother Yu, did they get you drunk and force you to stay here?"
