Upon returning to Guan Shu's house, Chen Zifei smelled an indescribable strange smell in the house.
The fishy smell, the stench, and the burnt smell all come together, which is comparable to a biological and chemical weapon, making people's lungs overwhelmed.
"What's going on?" Chen Zifei frowned slightly.
No one answered his question, and soon after, thick smoke floated out of the kitchen.
"Cough cough cough! Is there a fire?" Chen Zifei quickly covered his mouth and nose and prepared to rush into the kitchen.
At this moment, Guan Yue, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen with a gray face. When she saw Chen Zifei, she seemed to have seen a savior: "Brother-in-law, you are back! Come quickly!"
Chen Zifei followed her into the kitchen, looking at the charred fish on the plate with black lines on its head: "You made poison at home, do you want to poison us all?"
"Tsk." Guan Yue smacked her lips, "How can you talk! This is the result of three hours of hard work!"
After that, Guan Yue took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and brought it to Chen Zifei: "Here, try it! Although it doesn't look good, it might taste surprisingly delicious?"
Chen Zifei took a few steps back, even his toes were resisting, and he laughed dryly: "Yes, yes, I believe it, but the fish Xiaoyue worked so hard to cook was ruined for me to eat, so you should keep it for yourself.
!”
"You don't eat, are you looking down on me?" Guan Yue pretended to be displeased.
Seeing the fish meat approaching him, Chen Zifei had no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow it.
This small bite of fish was like a taste bud bomb, bitter and astringent, mixed with a faint fishy smell that spread on the tip of the tongue, making Chen Zifei frown.
"Well, well done, don't do it again in the future." Chen Zifei forced a smile.
Guan Yue was a little frustrated: "Is it really so unpalatable?"
Thinking about this, Guan Yue mustered up the courage to pick up the fish and put it into his mouth. Chen Zifei was so frightened that he quickly stretched out his hand to stop it: "Don't eat it! Don't cause problems for yourself!"
Guan Yue rolled her eyes: "How is that possible? This is a fish, and it is not poisonous."
"Sister-in-law, I'm responsible for the food at home. You're so delicate and expensive, so don't go into the kitchen." Chen Zifei said, preparing to send Guan Yue out of the kitchen.
"Oh, you don't understand!" Guan Yue slapped Chen Zifei's hand away, looking at his burnt fish, feeling a little depressed.
After a moment of silence, Guan Yue suddenly grabbed the corner of Chen Zifei's clothes, and there seemed to be little stars twinkling in his eyes: "Yes, brother-in-law, you are a chef, can't you teach me how to do it?"
Such a coquettish offensive almost made Chen Zifei a little unbearable.
"Why do you want to cook so much?" Chen Zifei asked.
"Do you still remember the closed training I mentioned to you before?" Guan Yue said.
Chen Zifei nodded.
"This is our first closed training, which is of great significance. I want to cook a meal for the children with my own hands!" Guan Yue clasped her hands together, with unlimited fantasies and expectations for the future.
It's good to have ideas, but...
Taking a look at the miserable kitchen, Chen Zifei said: "Isn't this simple? I will go with you when the time comes. Can't you just do it for me?"
Guan Yue rolled her eyes again: "You really don't understand the sense of ritual in life. If you have to do everything, what's the point? Of course it only makes sense if I do it myself!"
Since setting up the Art Troupe for the Deaf and Mute, Guan Yue has grown a lot and no longer has the same random temperament as before.
"This is a good thing, I'll teach you." Chen Zifei patted his chest.
"Great!" Guan Yue almost jumped three feet high, tilted her head and smiled, "We are going to set off the day after tomorrow, you have to hurry up!"
After Guan Yue left, Chen Zifei took a look at the messy kitchen and the burnt fish, and smiled helplessly.
This is really a difficult task...
Not long after, Chen Zifei tidied up the kitchen, and Guan Yue also bought new ingredients.
"What do you want to cook?" Chen Zifei looked at the several large bags of food she had bought, which contained miscellaneous items.
"Well... time is tight, let's make steamed fish!" Guan Yue said.
Chen Zifei took out the fish alone from a large pile of things: "Steaming fish is very simple and does not require so many ingredients. One fish plus onions, ginger, and garlic is enough."
Guan Yue was surprised: "Is it that simple?"
Chen Zifei nodded.
What Guan Yue bought was live fish. Chen Zifei poured out the water in the bag, put the fish on the cutting board, and turned around to get the basin used to hold the meat.
The living fish came out of the water, seemed to feel that death was approaching, and jumped hard at the end of its life!
The live fish bounced high off the cutting board and fell to the ground, its tail still slapping the ground.
"Ah!" Guan Yue screamed in fright, grabbed Chen Zifei, and jumped up directly. His movements were so violent that pots and pans fell to the floor, and the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong was heard all of a sudden.
Her whole body hung on Chen Zifei's body. Chen Zifei was afraid that she would fall, so he instinctively held her buttocks with his hands, which were so soft that he couldn't help but squeeze them quietly twice.
"What happened!" Meng Fang, who had just returned home from shopping, heard the sound and rushed into the kitchen.
As soon as I saw it, I saw two people hugging each other: "Xiaoyue? What are you doing?"
When Guan Yue heard her mother's voice, she jumped down from Chen Zifei's body, tidied her hair and smiled: "I...I...I'm learning to cook from my brother-in-law!"
"Learn to cook?" Meng Fang looked at the two of them with disbelief, "Learn to cook and smash the kitchen like this? Are you trying to teach your brother-in-law how to demolish a house?"
Guan Yue had no choice but to hit Chen Zifei hard with his elbow, who had been silent for a long time.
Chen Zifei received Guan Yue's distress signal, bent down and picked up the fish on the ground and said: "Auntie, Xiaoyue wants to learn how to make steamed fish for the children of the deaf-mute art troupe, but this fish is not very obedient."
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoyue mentioned to me before that there will be a closed training soon. It's a good thing to do something. It's better than messing around like before." Meng Fang nodded and said to Chen Zifei, "Zifei,
You need to help her more, and you will go with me to this closed training to help me keep an eye on her and take care of her more."
Guan Yue pouted: "Am I so uneasy?"
Meng Fang laughed: "Look at what you have done to the kitchen, can I rest assured?"
"You guys keep busy, I have to sort out the things I just bought." Meng Fang closed the kitchen door after saying that.
After Meng Fang left, Guan Yueyi commanded like a eunuch with an imperial edict: "Look at what you have done to this kitchen, why don't you clean it up quickly?"
"It seems like someone was knocked down by a fish just now when it jumped up in fright, right?" Chen Zifei smiled.
Hearing his teasing, Guan Yue suddenly jumped up and stepped on Chen Zifei's feet hard, then ran back to his room upstairs, leaving Chen Zifei standing in confusion among a pile of pots and pans.
In the middle of the basin: "How can this fall out faster than turning over a book?"
