Chapter 77 Eating Fish

There are twenty jars of whitening cream and twenty jars of three-white cream, for a total of forty jars. Even making ginger and lemon cream takes quite a bit of time.

She is already considering finding someone to build the production chain, even though the cost of the medicinal materials is not high, it takes quite a bit of time to produce them.

Jiang Ning first went to the clinic to buy medicinal herbs for making whitening cream and three-white cream from Grandpa Huang. Then she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some meat.

Although two hundred yuan isn't a lot of money, in this day and age it's several months' salary for a family, so we have to celebrate properly.

When Jiang Ning returned to the courtyard, the door was wide open.

After calculating the time, Zhiqi should be out of school by now.

Jiang Ning walked into the courtyard and, sure enough, saw Huo Zhiqi by the pond.

Huo Zhiqi was putting the fish he had caught that day into the pond when he heard a sound. He turned his head warily, and froze as soon as he turned around.

"Mom." Her usually serious little face broke into a smile, and her eyes shone brightly, brighter than the moonlight day or night.

Having not heard "Mom" for so long, Jiang Ning's heart was melting. The well-behaved and handsome child was just too adorable. She had no regrets about discussing with Shen Mo about adopting Zhiqi.

Huo Zhiqi wanted to hold Jiang Ning's hand, but Jiang Ning saw the longing in the little guy's eyes. Just as she was about to reach out her hand, Zhiqi suddenly ran away.

He ran to the water pipe and quickly rinsed his dirty hands clean, then wiped them with a handkerchief before walking up to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's carefully cultivated mood of maternal love and filial piety was instantly ruined by the little guy's antics.

This child is such a stickler; even holding hands requires all this fuss.

"puff--"

Jiang Ning chuckled and ruffled his hair again, "I don't mind."

Huo Zhiqi blushed and became embarrassed.

Jiang Ning glanced at the pool and suddenly noticed that there were several more fish, and each one was fresh and plump. The mountains and rivers now not only nourish people but also fish.

Seeing Jiang Ning staring at the pool, Huo Zhiqi rolled up his sleeves, itching to get some fish. He met Jiang Ning's gaze and asked, "Mom, do you want to eat fish?"

Without hesitation, Jiang Ning pointed to the biggest fish in the water and said, "Catch the biggest one out, and we'll make spicy fish chunks and sauerkraut fish!"

Huo Zhiqi nodded his little head heavily, "Okay."

Jiang Ning returned to her room and changed into more comfortable and convenient clothes. She also noticed that despite being away from home for so long, the house was spotless and had been thoroughly cleaned.

Knowing who cleaned it, Jiang Ning liked Zhiqi, this well-behaved boy, even more.

Of course, unruly children won't do.

Jiang Ning had already prepared the sauerkraut, and the aroma from the jar was just right.

When Shen Mo got home, he saw a table full of delicious food. The rescue was a great success. Although natural disasters are unstoppable, they saved so many lives.

Shen Mo didn't expect that there was more than just this happy event; there was another one as well.

He was quite surprised to learn that the ointments Jiang Ning made sold for several hundred yuan, which was equivalent to two or three months' salary and task allowance.

If this trend continues, I'm afraid more and more people will order the ointment made by his wife, and I wonder if his wife will get tired.

But seeing his wife's energetic appearance, Shen Mo swallowed back his worries.

Jiang Ning cooked a big table of delicious dishes today. Some of them didn't have much chili. She also made sauerkraut fish because she knew Shen Mo couldn't eat spicy food.

Since I'm making sauerkraut fish this time, I don't need to worry about Shen Mo and Zhi Qi.

Jiang Ning added twice as much chili to her spicy fish fillets today, making them extremely spicy and flavorful.

Huo Zhiqi could usually handle some spicy food, but seeing Jiang Ning eating so slurpingly, he couldn't resist picking up a piece and eating it himself.

Her face turned bright red the moment she took a bite, and then she gulped down the whole glass of water.

Then he obediently ate his sauerkraut fish.

Although it was very spicy, it tasted absolutely delicious. After relieving the spiciness for a while, I couldn't resist picking up another piece to eat.

Jiang Ning laughed when she saw that he liked to eat vegetables, "You can't eat this piece after you eat it, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Huo Zhiqi was so spicy he couldn't speak, and nodded repeatedly with his small, red lips.

Shen Mo looked away and noticed that Jiang Ning's water glass was empty, so he quietly refilled it for her.

They're clearly incapable themselves, yet they're talking to the children.

Although Jiang Ning had trained Shen Mo to eat some spicy food, he still didn't dare to try it after seeing the bowl full of bright red fish pieces.

Huo Zhiqi went to the bathroom right after he finished eating.

Seeing that she was sweating from the spiciness, Shen Mo took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her sweat, his brows slightly furrowed.

Even though it was incredibly spicy, she ate with increasing relish. Indeed, the world cannot exist without chili peppers; what fun would there be without them?

Seeing that her mouth was red from eating and she was sweating profusely but still continuing to eat, Shen Mo worried that she was just being stubborn. "If you can't finish it, then don't eat anymore."

Jiang Ning raised her rosy face, her lips, red as if dripping blood, parted slightly, "It's really not spicy."

Shen Mo still frowned.

Seeing him frown silently, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Are you worried about me?"

Her face was beautiful and delicate, and her eyes sparkled with charm.

Shen Mo nodded slightly.

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you try it and see if it's spicy or not?"

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fish.

Shen Mo realized that she wanted to feed him. He never refused her, so he steeled himself and leaned in without hesitation.

But just as his mouth approached the piece of fish, Jiang Ning suddenly pulled away from her chopsticks, revealing bright red, glistening lips.

He gave me a quick kiss.

Shen Mo's eyes widened, looking completely stunned by the kiss.

He even unconsciously licked his lips.

'hiss--'

So spicy!

Jiang Ning found it amusing to see his expression change after just a little chili, and thankfully she hadn't actually fed him the fish.

Shen Mo had never touched such spicy chili peppers before, but Jiang Ning was eating them happily, so he didn't stop her. Instead, he whispered a reminder, "Wife, eat less..."

Jiang Ning wanted to tease him again, so she suddenly closed her eyes, tilted her head up, and said, "If you kiss me one more time, I won't eat anymore."

'boom--'

Shen Mohong's face was flushed, but because her skin was slightly dark, it wasn't very noticeable.

He glanced towards the kitchen instinctively; Zhiqi hadn't come out yet.

She then lowered her head to look at the slightly upturned red lips in front of her.

My heart was pounding.

His wife really has him completely under her thumb...

Shen Mo's dark eyes darkened, and he moved closer, the two of them suddenly becoming very close.
