shock!As soon as he came back, his house was ransacked and he was exiled.

Chapter 172 Tianji is boring, but fish is interesting, okay?

"Ah." Jiang Zhimiao's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You really did it."

Wen Zhuqing looked down at the fried golden and crispy fish pieces on the plate, nodded with a smile, and immediately placed the plate on the table under the curious eyes of several children.

It was snowing outside the window, and the alluring fragrance came from the Kang table. Jiang Zhimiao put down the embroidered handkerchief, leaned over and smelled it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect what you did was decent."

"It's all your teachings." Wen Zhuqing said softly. He raised his eyes and smiled: "I don't know how it tastes. It's my first time making it. Let's try it while it's hot."

"Okay." Jiang Zhimiao replied immediately. She had never made crispy fish, but she had eaten it. It looked good and the taste should be good.

Under his expectant gaze, she picked up a piece of crispy fish from the plate and threw it into her mouth. The long-lost taste spread in her mouth. Her eyes lit up and she unconsciously ate a few more pieces.

"Sister, how is it? Is it delicious?" Minghuai asked curiously, swallowing unconsciously.

"It's delicious." Jiang Zhimiao replied without raising his head, his cheeks bulging.

Seeing her say this, Mingzhu Minghuai looked at each other and immediately joined in the fight for food.

Wen Zhuqing glanced at her with raised eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc.

This smile had a hint of endearment, which shocked Xu Yourong and caught him off guard. She glanced at him suspiciously, as if she had thought of something, and nodded to herself.

She pretended not to care as she embroidered flowers, and from time to time looked at the movement between them, feeling happy and laughing.

Seeing her pleasure, Jiang Zhimiao put down the fish piece she had just handed to her mouth and said in shock: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"

She had a frown on her face before, but now she has a smile on her face. This change is quite significant. For those who didn't know, they thought they were two people.

She was really puzzled by the huge mood swings.

"It's okay." Xu Yourong suppressed his smile and pretended to be nonchalant. Jiang Zhimiao frowned, still feeling something was wrong.

If there was anything happy in the past, her mother would definitely share it with her immediately. This time she asked, but she didn't tell her yet. There was something wrong with it. Thinking about it, she gave her a suspicious look.

No matter what, as long as she was happy, Jiang Zhimiao thought about it, smiled helplessly, pretended that nothing happened, and continued to pick up the fish pieces in the bowl and eat them.

She just talked about the method of frying the crispy fish. The most important thing for making crispy fish is the heat. It will not be too old or too tender. Only when the heat is right can the fried crispy fish be delicious.

It looked like an ordinary plate of crispy fish, but Jiang Zhimiao knew in his heart that Wen Zhuqing had put in a lot of effort.

Killing the fish, washing the fish, wrapping the bread, and putting it into the pot seem to be simple steps, but they take a lot of energy. Let’s talk about killing the fish. It’s freezing cold here. After killing the fish, your hands will probably be frozen too. Not light.

When Jiang Zhimiao thought of the weather outside, she immediately lost her desire to eat. She put the freshly picked crispy fish back on the plate, turned her head, and her eyes fell on Wen Zhuqing's hand.

She didn't feel anything when she ate it, but now that she saw his hands were red from the cold, she felt a little uncomfortable.

If she hadn't mentioned that earlier, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gone to such trouble to make it. In the final analysis, this bowl of crispy fish was her idea.

Jiang Zhimiao pursed her lips, stood up and took out a tube of dark ointment from the closet and handed it over: "Here, this is chilblain ointment. Apply it to the affected area morning and night. It will relieve itching and pain."

Wen Zhuqing's Adam's apple rolled up, and emotions surged in his eyes. He looked at her deeply, and a tingling sensation followed, miraculously soothing the coldness in his body.He couldn't hold it back and glanced at her again. The worry in the girl's eyes was clearly reflected in her eyes. She held up the ointment and her tone was undeniable but full of concern. His eyes evaded and his heart softened.

Being so close, Wen Zhuqing could almost see the down on her face. He lowered his eyes subconsciously and took the ointment.

Both of them were stunned when their fingers were brushed by cold fingertips, leaving a biting chill.

Wen Zhuqing felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he felt a little at a loss.

Jiang Zhimiao was the first to react. She took back her hand, pointed at the fish on the table, covered her mouth and coughed lightly, and said in a calm tone: "Fish, this fish is good."

Wen Zhuqing pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, but the ointment he held tightly betrayed the surging emotions in his heart.

The bamboo tube made a "pop" sound when he squeezed it, and it almost cracked. He was stunned and quickly let go.

"Brother, mother wants you to go home for dinner!" A childish voice suddenly came from outside the house, instantly dispelling the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

The two of them were awakened by Jing Ming's shout. Jiang Zhimiao was stunned for a moment and shouted outside: "Oh, I got it."

Wen Zhuqing shook his head and then said, "I'll go back in a moment." After that, he said goodbye carefully.

Jiang Zhimiao's heart went crazy when Xu Yourong looked at her with an aunt's smile on her face. She asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, what's going on with you? Why are you smiling so much just now?"

She gave her a somewhat thoughtful look, and said with a smile while embroidering: "Buddha said, the secret of heaven must not be leaked."

Seeing that she was trying to hide her secrets, Jiang Zhimiao curled her lips uncomfortably: "If you don't want to tell me, just tell me. It's really boring to keep secrets secret."

Xu Yourong flew the needle, shook his head and said with a smile: "Tianji is not interesting, but the fish is interesting. I think you have a special liking for this crispy fish."

"That's strange. During previous festivals, I've never seen you eating so happily. Let me see, the crispy fish this time is right for your stomach."

Jiang Zhimiao smiled, as if he didn't understand what she was saying. He leaned against her and said, "I haven't eaten it for a long time. By the way, you can try it too. His fried fish is really good."

She picked up a piece of fried golden and crispy fish and handed it to her mouth: "Try it, it tastes really good."

"Not bad, not bad, really good." Mingzhu wiped the oil from her mouth randomly, clapped her hands and narrowed her eyes.

Xu Yourong smiled helplessly and took a bite from her hand. After a moment, she commented: "Zhuqing, this kid is very thoughtful. This fish is fried properly, so it's really good."

She ate one piece, but no matter how much Jiang Zhimiao tried to persuade her, she refused to eat the second piece. Seeing her shirk, she sighed helplessly, and then she and Mingzhu Minghuai rounded up the crispy fish on the plate.

The fish was coated in flour and fried repeatedly in a pan. After eating about ten pieces in a row, Jiang Zhimiao felt a little overwhelmed. Looking at her belly that looked like she was three months pregnant, she burped unconsciously.

Mingzhu Minghuai saw this and started to follow suit. Seeing several children sitting in a row, Xu Yourong smiled helplessly, then lowered his head and started embroidering again.

"Hiccup, this fish tastes really good. This time it can satisfy my craving."
