Chapter 49 like this, very good

  It is not difficult to make the golden pot. The most important thing is to prepare the right amount of condiments.

   "Qi Min Yao Shu" introduces the method of Jin Ji in detail. The seven ingredients required are: garlic, ginger, salt, white plum, orange peel, cooked chestnut meat and japonica rice.

  The most difficult method is the white plum. The white plum is soaked in salt water overnight. The next day, it is exposed to the sun. Repeat this dozens of times to get the white plum.

  Ji Zhao prepared all the ingredients in turn, then selected half of the fish fillets, and boiled them in water.

   "You've already prepared this dish, why did you cook the fish? Wouldn't it spoil the taste?" Chef Dong asked with a frown as he watched her movements.

   "Actually, golden jade scallops can be eaten raw or cooked. But it varies from person to person. If you have a weak stomach, it is best to eat hot simmered jade scallops." Ji Zhao explained with a smile.

  In fact, the so-called Jin Yuyu is sashimi.

  The main test of this dish is knife skills and seasoning.

   "So it is." Chef Dong suddenly realized, and then asked modestly, "Dare to ask this girl, who is your teacher?"

   "My grandfather is good at cooking, so I have been fascinated by it since I was a child." Ji Zhao made an excuse casually, and then looked away guiltily.

   "Dare to ask, where is the girl's grandfather now?"

   "Grandfather has passed away." Ji Zhao lowered his eyes slightly and said softly.

   "This... I'm really sorry."

  Master Dong quickly apologized.

  Ji Zhao did such a big favor to the restaurant, the second shopkeeper was grateful, and directly accepted the big bucket of fish sent by the Shen family.

  Fifteen taels of silver!

  Shen Dashan couldn't hide his excitement, and carefully put the money into his arms.

  After returning to the pastry shop, Mrs. Shen took Shen Dashan to go shopping nearby.

  Shen Yao took Ji Zhao to the small kitchen in the backyard.

   "What... what's wrong?" Ji Zhao, who was inexplicably guilty, blinked nervously.

   "Hold out your hand."

   "Huh?" Although he didn't know why, Ji Zhao obediently stretched out his hands.

  Shen Yao carefully inspected the wound on her finger, and asked with a frown, "Your finger was cut, and you just touched the salt directly, does it hurt?"

   "Eh...it seems to hurt a little?" Ji Zhao, belatedly aware of it, remembered that her fingers were still injured!

  Shen Yao gently grabbed her hand, and treated her wound again.

   "...Thank you." Ji Zhao smiled gratefully.

   "I heard that the grandfather of the Ji family never cooked." Shen Yao suddenly pointed out the lie she had just told, and asked softly, "Not only are you good at cooking, but you also seem to have some kung fu?"

  By the pond this morning, she subdued Shen Lang who was big and thick with only one move.

   Ling Shen Yao was deeply impressed.

   "I..." Ji Zhao blinked nervously, then asked with a smile, "Is this not good?"

   "Third brother, A Tao, it's getting late, let's go home!" Shen Dashan's voice suddenly sounded.

  Ji Zhao simply responded, then bypassed Shen Yao and went to the front hall.

  Shen Yao looked at her back, silently raised his lips.

   Like this, very good.

   Zhao Lanhua was very happy to learn that those fish were sold for fifteen taels of silver!

   What made her even more happy was that her old man became enlightened and even bought her a silver hairpin.

   "What are you doing with this money?" Zhao Lanhua said with disgust, but the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.

   "Lanhua, you're so pretty!" Shen Dashan suddenly grinned at her and smiled naively.
