Chapter 46 The Gentleman Stays Away from the Kitchen

  Shen Yao looked up at her and smiled knowingly.

   "If it weren't for your sharp eyes, and you grasped the direction every time, I wouldn't have gained this much."

   "There are so many fish, we can eat a lot of delicious fish dishes!" Ji Zhao's gaze has been completely attracted by the lively fish in the back basket!

  Shen Family Courtyard.

  Seeing so many fish, Zhao Lanhua smiled happily, "As the old saying goes, it's true that father and son are fighting together!"

   "Actually, the third one caught more, and I only caught five in total." Shen Dashan smiled naively, "Lanhua, there are so many fish, how do we deal with them?"

   "After lunch at noon, you and the third child will go to the county seat, first take two to the boss's side, and sell the rest to the restaurant!" Zhao Lanhua made a decision immediately after thinking about it.

  In the kitchen, Ji Zhao chose a strong fish with a fat head. She planned to make a fish head with chopped peppers, and use the remaining fish meat to make braised fish nuggets.

  When Shen Yao walked into the kitchen, Ji Zhao was chopping fish heads.

  Watching the moment when she raised the knife in her hand and dropped it, Shen Yao silently raised his brows.

   "Are you hungry? The rice is already cooked, I'll cook quickly~" From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Shen Yao, and Ji Zhao said with a smile.

   "Is there anything I can do for you?"

   "Okay!" Ji Zhao happily responded, "Then can you help me peel the garlic? I'll use it later!"

"Um."

  Ji Zhao smiled and sighed while handling the fish head, "I heard the second sister-in-law said that you used to be very good at reading, so I thought you wouldn't come to the kitchen. Don't scholars have a saying that tells the gentleman to stay away from the kitchen?"

   "Food is the most important thing for the people." Shen Yao laughed softly, "What's more, the gentleman stays away from the kitchen, which is not what it means literally."

   "Oh? Would you like to hear more about it?" Ji Zhao was aroused to be eager to learn.

   "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and he can practice everything with flesh and blood." Shen Yao explained warmly, "The real intention of this sentence is to advocate that a gentleman should have a benevolent character."

   "So that's how it is!" Ji Zhao suddenly smiled, "I really don't know much~"

   "Did you really never read a book?" Shen Yao suddenly stared into her eyes and asked in a deep voice.

  Ji Zhao panicked, her finger was suddenly cut open by the knife, and she gasped in pain.

  Shen Yao hurriedly grabbed her finger, and carefully and gently wiped the wound on it.

   "Does it hurt?"

   "Actually...it's okay." Ji Zhao hurriedly pulled out his hand, nervously avoiding his gentle gaze.

  Just for a moment, she felt lost.

  Shen Yao suddenly turned around and left.

  Ji Zhao suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

   "Extend the injured hand," after a while, Shen Yao brought the medicine powder and a bandage.

   A moment later, Ji Zhao looked at his index finger that was bandaged like a silkworm chrysalis, and asked helplessly with a smile, "Is this... a bit exaggerated?"

   "If you don't treat it well, the wound will be more serious." Shen Yao said with a serious expression.

   "But my hands have become like this, so I can't cook anymore?" Ji Zhao said with a weak shrug.

   "You teach me, I will do it."

   "Are you serious?"

   "Yes." Shen Yao nodded firmly.

  So Ji Zhao stepped aside and became the chef guide.

   "Let's make the fish head with chopped peppers first. I have marinated the fish head just now." Ji Zhao explained the method carefully, and then stood aside to enjoy this pleasing scene.
