46 A Gentleman Stays Away from the Kitchen

Shen Yao looked up at her and smiled knowingly.

“If it weren’t for your sharp eyes and accurate direction every time, I wouldn’t have gained this much.”

“There are so many fish! We can eat so many delicious fish dishes!” Ji Zhao’s gaze was completely attracted by the lively fish in the basket on his back!

In the Shen residence.

Seeing so many fish, Zhao Lanhua beamed with joy. “The old saying is right. Working together is more efficient!”

“Actually, Third Brother caught more fish. I only caught five in total.” Shen Dashan smiled sheepishly. “Lanhua, there are so many fish. How should we deal with them?”

“After lunch, you and Third Brother go to the county city. Send two to Dalang first and sell the rest to the restaurants!” Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.

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

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

The moment she raised her hand and slashed down, Shen Yao raised his eyebrows silently.

“Are you hungry? The rice is ready. I’m pretty quick when I cook,” Ji Zhao said with a smile when she saw Shen Yao from the corner of her eye.

“Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Sure!” Ji Zhao replied happily. “Then can you peel the garlic for me? I’ll need it later!”

“Mm.”

Ji Zhao smiled and sighed as he handled the fish head. “I heard from Second Sister-in-law that you used to be very good at studying. I thought you wouldn’t come to the kitchen. Isn’t there a saying among scholars that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?”

“Food is the most important thing for the people.” Shen Yao chuckled. “Besides, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen isn’t taken for it’s literal meaning.”

“Oh? Would you care to elaborate?” Ji Zhao’s interest was piqued.

“A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Anyone who has blood and vitality will be trampled on,” Shen Yao explained gently. “The true meaning of this sentence is to advocate a gentleman to have benevolent morals.”

“I see!” Ji Zhao smiled in realization. “I’m really inexperienced~”

“Have you really never studied?” Shen Yao suddenly stared into her eyes and questioned in a low voice.

Ji Zhao panicked. Her fingers were suddenly cut open by the knife, and it was so painful that she gasped.

Shen Yao hurriedly grabbed her fingers and carefully and gently wiped the wound on them.

“Does it hurt?”

“Actually... it’s alright.” Ji Zhao hurriedly pulled her hand away and nervously avoided his gentle gaze.

For a moment just now, she felt that she was in a daze.

Shen Yao suddenly turned around and left.

Ji Zhao suddenly felt a sense of loss.

“Extend your injured hand.” After a while, Shen Yao brought over the medicinal powder and bandage.

A moment later, Ji Zhao looked at her index finger bandaged like a cocoon and asked with a helpless smile, “Isn’t this... a little exaggerated?”

“If you don’t treat it properly, the wound will get worse,” Shen Yao said with a serious expression.

“But now that my hand has become like this, I can’t cook anymore?” Ji Zhao shrugged weakly.

“You teach me, I’ll do it.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes.” Shen Yao nodded firmly.

Hence, Ji Zhao retreated to the side and became the teacher.

“Then let’s make chopped pepper fish head first. I’ve just marinated the fish head.” Ji Zhao carefully explained the cooking method and then stood at the side to admire this pleasing scene.
