Chapter 50 Zhao, Rimingya

  When Zhao Lanhua was young, she was a flower in these ten miles and eight villages.

  Although she is over forty now, she looks very young because of her natural fair skin.

  Now she has another silver hairpin, which makes her face softer.

   "I didn't expect A Tao to be so good at cooking?" After hearing the whole story, Zhao Lanhua asked in surprise, "So thanks to A Tao, our family can sell so many fish today?"

   "Well, you can say that." Shen Dashan drank a large bowl of sweet water and nodded slightly.

"Girl A Tao's luck is really good!" Zhao Lanhua couldn't help sighing, "Sister-in-law Osmanthus came to visit in the afternoon, and I heard that the fish from the other two families failed to sell at a high price! Uncle Village Chief I'm having a headache!"

   "I found out when I was catching fish this morning. Except for the big fish caught by the third child, the fish caught by the others were not very good. They were too small to sell."

   Fish that are too small have little meat and cannot be sold at a high price.

  Ji Zhao, who heard the news, had an idea in his mind.

"You mean we'll collect all those small fish?" Zhao Lanhua frowned puzzled after hearing Ji Zhao's proposal, "A Tao, what do you want so many fish for? And those fish are too small It's not easy to sell!"

   "Mother, I understand," Ji Zhao nodded with a smile, "Right now the county is short of ingredients, and those small fish don't have much meat, so of course it's not easy to sell, but what if we process it a little bit? Maybe we can make a fortune."

  After hearing Ji Zhao's proposal, Zhao Lanhua made a decisive decision!

   "Success, then what do you need? Mother will prepare it for you?"

   "Small fish, flour, eggs."

   "That's all?" Zhao Lanhua was even more puzzled.

   "That's enough," Ji Zhao smiled sweetly, "A lot of delicious food is made in the simplest way~"

   "Okay, I'll let your father go to the village chief's house later, let's get five catties of small fish to try."

"Um!"

  At dusk, the sunset glow in the sky is as bright as fire and extremely enchanting.

  In the yard, Ji Zhao focused on Ji Chen who was writing on the sand table.

   "Sister..." Ji Chen tried his best to write down two words, raised his head to look at Ji Zhao, and grinned obediently, revealing two cute little canine teeth.

   Facing his innocent and beautiful smile, Ji Zhao felt his heart was about to melt.

   "Chenchen is really great!" Ji Zhao showed his thumbs with both hands without hesitation, and gave him double praise, "The writing is really good!"

  Ji Zhao also became interested, squatted beside him, picked up a twig, and wrote two words seriously.

"Chenchen, look, this word is our surname, Nian Ji, and the word next to it is Nian Zhao. In fact, my sister likes the name Ji Zhao better than the name Ji Atao." Ji Zhao looked sideways. Looking at him, he smiled brightly.

   "Zhao, Riming also." Shen Yao suddenly smiled and said, "Zhuobi Yunhan, Zhao returned to the sky. Zhao character, very good."

   "I also think it's pretty good~" Ji Zhao smiled back, and said softly, "And Ji Zhao is homophonic for auspicious omen, which means that no matter what kind of things I encounter, I can turn bad luck into good fortune and get good luck!"

  Shen Yao slightly nodded his head in agreement, then his eyes fell on the sand table inadvertently, and a touch of surprise flashed across his eyes.

   "You, can you practice calligraphy?"

   "Just write it for fun~" Ji Zhao, with a guilty conscience, was about to erase the name on the sand table, but his wrist was held by Shen Yao, making it difficult to move.
