While Gu Ye was killing the fish, Jiang Yue first preheated the oven and then prepared the side dishes.
She planted some green vegetables such as shallots and scallions in the backyard. When she cooked, she could just dig up a few cabbages and pick a few scallions. It was very convenient.
There were onions, potatoes and green peppers at home. Jiang Yue washed and cut them all and set them aside for later use.
After Gu Ye killed the fish, he came to ask Jiang Yue what to do next. Jiang Yue instructed him to wash the fish, cut a few cuts on the back of the fish, cut it into two slices, and marinate it with salt, cooking wine and five-spice powder for a while.
At this time, the oven was almost preheated. Jiang Yue greased the iron plate, put the fish on it, and put it in the oven.
Jiang Yue calculated the time, pulled out the baking tray and took a look. Seeing that it was almost done, she spread the onions, potatoes and other ingredients under the baking tray.
Then stir-fry the ingredients with the bean paste, stir-fry the scallion, ginger and lantern chili until fragrant, and pour them on the side dishes in the baking tray.
This time, the grilled fish was ready in less than half an hour. The aroma had already spread out. Ningning, who was reading in the room, came out with her nose turned up, and attracted Zhao Yuanqi and Zhao Cui as well.
"Sister Jiang Yue, what delicious food are you making?" Zhao Cui came over with her schoolbag. Although today was Sunday, she had been reviewing her homework at home. She had some questions she didn't understand. She was just about to come find Jiang Yue when she smelled the fragrance wafting from Jiang Yue's courtyard.
"Grilled fish!" Jiang Yue, wearing thick gloves, pushed open the iron plate sealing the oven and used a hook to hook out the baking tray inside.
Now the aroma of the grilled fish is even stronger.
"It looks delicious, auntie. How about I help you taste it and see if it tastes good?" Zhao Yuanqi stared at the grilled fish and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"No! This is what your aunt made for me! If you want to eat it, go home and ask your parents to make it. Didn't I give your family two fish at noon?" Gu Ye was unhappy when he heard that Zhao Yuanqi was going to snatch his grilled fish.
"Auntie, look, why is Uncle Gu like this! He is so stingy!" Zhao Yuanqi complained to Jiang Yue while drooling.
Jiang Yue: “…”
She whispered to Gu Ye, "Why are you arguing with a kid? If you want to eat it, I'll make another one later!"
"That won't work! Let them go home and make it themselves! Doesn't he have an oven at home? You made this for me, as we agreed!" It was after Gu Ye came back from Southern Province in the summer that he discovered that not only had Sister Zhao learned to make a bathroom from Jiang Yue, she had also copied an identical oven.
"Okay then!" Jiang Yue didn't expect Gu Ye to act like a child just for this bite of food. What else could she do but coax him?
"Come, I'll write down the steps, and you take them home and give them to your mother and ask her to follow them!" Jiang Yue said to Zhao Yuanqi.
Zhao Yuanqi's eyes were still fixed on the grilled fish, and he asked Ning Ning, "Gu Ning, do you want to eat grilled fish? Ask your father to share some with me! It's such a big fish, and the three of you can't finish it!"
Ning Ning: "That won't work. My dad is a big eater! He can finish it all by himself!"
Jiang Yue, who was writing a recipe, "…………"
Gu Ye: “…” He thought Ningning was praising him!
After finally coaxing Zhao Yuanqi away, Zhao Cui also ran away with her schoolbag, "Sister Jiang Yue, I'll come back later! Let's go home and grill the fish first!"
Jiang Yue looked back at Gu Ye and couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at!" Gu Ye snorted, "You said you were going to cook for me, how could you let that kid Zhao Yuanqi eat first! His dad told me that he's too fat and needs to lose weight, and he specifically told me not to let him develop a bad habit of asking for food everywhere! Don't give him food when he comes over next time!"
Jiang Yue curled her lips and said speechlessly: "Okay! If you don't give it to others, then give it to us Ye Ye!"
"Ye Ye? What a weird name! You should just call me by my full name, or call me brother!" Gu Ye hugged Jiang Yue's slender waist and blew into her ear.
Jiang Yue's face was a little hot, she rolled her eyes at Gu Ye, "Ningning is here!"
"It doesn't matter if Ningning is here. I didn't ask you to call me anything else. I'm older than you, and you call me brother. Isn't that normal? Ningning, do you think what daddy said is right?" Gu Ye looked at Ningning who was squatting beside the oven watching the fish grilling.
"Yes, that's right! Ningning also calls Yuanqi brother, because Yuanqi brother is older than Ningning!" Ningning nodded seriously.
"That's enough! Even grilled fish can't stop you from talking!" Jiang Yue pinched Gu Ye. One night, she was driven crazy by him and called him brother. As a result, he remembered it and asked her to call him brother from time to time.
It was just past four o'clock and not even five o'clock yet, so it seemed a little early for dinner. However, Gu Ye said that he still had things to do after dinner, so Jiang Yue heated up the dishes that had been distributed at noon. The rice was in the pot, so he just added some fire to the stove to heat it up.
Gu Ye brought the grilled fish to the table. The aroma of the fish was fragrant and the grilled fish tasted particularly delicious.
The fish and the side dishes were all eaten up, and Gu Ye even soaked his rice in the fish soup.
After dinner, it was still dark. Gu Ye washed the dishes and baking trays, drained them, and went back to the house and said to Jiang Yue, "You and Ningning should wear more clothes. It's cold at night!"
"Do you want to go out?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Well, let's go to the store!" Gu Ye said.
"Go over now?" Jiang Yue didn't understand what Gu Ye meant. She was thinking, Gu Ye wouldn't really plan to sleep in the store at night, right?
Jiang Yue held Ningning's hand and followed Gu Ye into the car, but Gu Ye did not drive to the county town, but to the guard company.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yue was curious.
Gu Ye carried Jiang Yue out of the car and then went to pick up Ning Ning.
"Captain Gu!" The guard company commander Mo Hongyuan came forward and saluted first.
"Did you bring Hu Zi here?" Gu Ye looked behind Mo Hongyuan.
“Here it comes!”
Jiang Yue was confused and asked Gu Ye, "Who is Hu Zi?"
As soon as Jiang Yue finished speaking, a few dogs barking were heard from the company.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and mighty military dog appeared in the field of vision, running towards this side.
“Dad, Mom!”
Although Jiang Yue was not afraid of dogs, she still shuddered when she saw such a tall military dog. Ningning was even more so, she hid behind Jiang Yue in fear.
"Don't be afraid, Hu Zi is a heroic dog and is very humane!" Gu Ye comforted Ning Ning and also said this to Jiang Yue.
"Gu Ye, you don't want to bring Hu Zi to the store, do you?" Jiang Yue's expression was a little hard to describe at this time, "Do you want to reconsider it?"
"Considering what?"
"Aunt Yang and Cuiling will be scared!" Jiang Yue saw that Hu Zi put his head on Gu Ye's hand as soon as he came, and sat down when he was told to, and stretched out his paw when he was told to. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was very friendly, but she was worried that Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling would not be able to accept having such a mighty military dog in the house.
"Hu Zi, just go there at night and put it in front of the store. Aunt Yang and the others live in the backyard, so it won't affect them!" Gu Ye touched Hu Zi's head.
When Jiang Yue heard this, she thought it was feasible.
In this way, if the arsonist sets fire again, Hu Zi in the store will be able to find him. When Hu Zi shouts, the arsonist will definitely be scared. Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling in the backyard will rush over immediately and either scare the arsonist away or open the door and order Hu Zi to catch the arsonist.
