Back in the yard, Jiang Xiu took a grass carp out of the bucket, smacked it and threw it on the chopping board, while the other two were still swimming happily in the bucket.

The cement in the pool had just dried and the water had not been pumped back in yet. Shen Mo said he would come back and fix it after training.

Jiang Xi saw that the time was almost up, so she cleanly and neatly scraped the scales of the grass carp, cut open its abdomen, and took out its internal organs.

Zhiqi watched her carefully as she quickly and decisively processed the grass carp. He then thought of Jiang Xi beating Wang Xiaotian's butt with a bamboo stick, and he shuddered.

If he also made a mistake, Sister Jiang would beat him...

He was willing to let Sister Jiang beat him.

"Zhiqi."

Jiang Xi waited for a long time without any response, so he called out again.

"Zhiqi?"

"Ah, what's wrong?" Huo Zhiqi came back to his senses.

Jiang Xing nodded his chin towards the stove, his eyes sparkling, "Light up the fire, we're having spicy boiled fish today."

"Oh, okay." After agreeing, Zhiqi picked up the firewood neatly and quickly and lit the fire.

Do the preliminary preparations, heat the oil in a pan, add ginger and olive oil, some vegetable oil and half a spoonful of lard to enhance the flavor.

Heat a hot pot, add chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the fermented black bean paste and stir-fry until red oil comes out. Add a little wine and add water and bring to a boil. After boiling, add MSG, salt and other seasonings.

Then put the fish in the red soup and cook it for a while before adding some side dishes.

Jiang Li is generous with the oil and ingredients, and the dish tastes great.

The aroma wafted out, and Huo Zhiqi kept looking into the pot, swallowing his saliva.

Sister Jiang’s cooking is really delicious, unlike Aunt Wang and Grandma Wang, who are always very picky when cooking. They cut the meat into very small pieces and use the oil that is forced out of the meat to stir-fry the vegetables.

Jiang Xiu re-steamed the steamed buns that Xiao Zhiqi hadn't finished eating in the morning. After they were hot, Jiang Xiu took one out and handed it to Xiao Zhiqi.

Seeing that he didn't take it, she stuffed the bag into his hands and said, "You look so hungry, eat it quickly. Your uncle Shen won't be back for a while, so eat a bag first to relieve your hunger."

Hand the dumplings to Zhiqi while Jiang Gui continues to watch the pot. After it is cooked, remove it from the pot and put it on a plate. Sprinkle a layer of pepper powder, garlic and chopped green onion on the fish. Then put a little more oil in the pot to make the chili fragrant, and pour the hot oil over the fish.

The spicy and fresh smell hits your nose, and the ginger and oranges are delicious.

Smelling the spicy aroma, Jiang Gui had already thought about what to do with the other grass carp. When she found time to make some sauerkraut, she could make sauerkraut fish.

There is no need to do anything else after the spicy fish is ready, so Jiang Xiu starts cleaning the kitchen.

Huo Zhiqi raised his head and saw it, swallowed the bag in no time, then rolled up his sleeves and walked over, "Sister Jiang, let me wash these things."

Jiang Xiu was squeezed out of the way by him, and the stove was just big enough for him to reach.

She couldn't help laughing. Why was this kid just like Shen Mo, as if he was afraid that she would do some dirty or tiring work?

As soon as Shen Mo walked into the house, he smelled the fragrance of the house and saw two kitchens, one large and one small.

Huo Zhiqi was washing dishes while Jiang Xi was watching beside him with a satisfied smile on his face.

After washing the dishes, Jiang Xi used her slender hands to peel a piece of candy and fed it to Zhiqi personally.

Doesn't that kid think he has no hands? He still needs to be peeled for ginger to eat.

Moreover, why wasn't Jiang Liu watching him when he was cleaning the kitchen?

Yu Guang glanced at the door and threw the candy wrapper into the stove. "Come back, the meal is ready. Wash your hands and eat."

As soon as Shen Mo entered the gate, he smelled the tempting spicy aroma in the yard. He raised his hand to touch his stomach. He was indeed hungry, but... he couldn't eat spicy food.

Jiang Xi made three bowls of rice and took them to the main room with Zhiqi.

Shen Mo washed his hands and went to the main room, where Jiang Xi was just walking in with a bowl of steamed eggs.

Then he saw Jiang Xi push the bowl of steamed egg to Zhiqi, "Zhiqi, this is specially steamed for you. You are too thin, you need to supplement your nutrition."

There was no steamed egg, so Shen Mo had to eat spicy fish.

Jiang Liu is really good at cooking. No matter what the ingredients are, the food she makes tastes better than that in state-owned hotels.

The fish was well cooked with ginger and lime, most of the bones were removed, and the fishy smell was completely covered by the taste of chili, making it not fishy at all.

Shen Mo ate very fast, and kept digging into the rice. He would take two big mouthfuls of rice for each mouthful of spicy fish.

Zhiqi can eat spicy food. He eats the spicy fish mouthful after mouthful. Even when it is so spicy that he sticks out his tongue, he still can't help but eat another mouthful.

Seeing him sticking out his tongue while eating, Jiang Xi was worried that his stomach would not be able to take it, "Zhiqi, you should eat some fish, it's too spicy."

"He's not that coquettish." Shen Mo said suddenly.

Jiang Xi then turned to look at Shen Mo, and suddenly took a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl, "Children's stomachs are not as good as adults', you can eat more."

She likes watching other people eat, especially the food she cooks herself. The more she watches, the more she eats.

Shen Mo looked at the dish that Jiang Xing had picked for him in the bowl with a slightly stunned expression.

This was the first time Jiang Xiu picked up food for him.

Looking at the chili in the bowl, he made up his mind and ate the chili and fish with rice.

Jiang Xi only likes spicy food, but not chili peppers. Seeing Shen Mo eat chili peppers without changing his expression, she said in surprise, "So you like spicy food so much, then I can put more chili peppers in the dishes in the future."

The spicy fish she made this time was not particularly spicy, just slightly spicy, enough that even people who can't tolerate spicy food can enjoy a few bites.

But the fact that it doesn't taste spicy is one thing. A whole chili is several times spicier than this bowl of food. The fact that Shen Mo can eat chili directly proves that he can tolerate spicy food.

After Jiang Xing finished her meal, she supported her head and watched the two men in the room eat.

Zhiqi was fine, only his mouth turned red from the spiciness.

Shen Mo, on the other hand, was sweating all over his forehead.

The ability to eat spicy food can be cultivated. Just increase the spiciness gradually and you will naturally be able to eat it.

This is her experience after eating more than ten hot pot meals in a month.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu picked up some food for Shen Mo, some peppers or some fish.

"Did something happen today?" After finishing the meal, Shen Mo picked a topic to talk about.

Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows and put the last piece of fish in the bowl into his mouth. "Who said something to you?"

Shen Mo thought of what Old Lady Wang said, and his expression became a little unhappy. "Well, I met Old Lady Wang on the way back, and she told me something."

Jiang Xi frowned, "Are you talking about the time I beat her grandson? Does this have any impact on you?"

Shen Mo brought up this matter suddenly, but someone else might think he was here to call for an explanation.

After all, the one from the Wang family holds a higher position than Shen Mo.

But Jiang Xi felt that he wouldn't.

Shen Mo took a big sip of water from the enamel pot. He was surprised when he heard this. "Beat her grandson?"

Jiang Xi: "So you didn't know?"

She laughed again, with a cunning look in her eyes, "I'll give him a meal of 'Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots and Pork'."

Seeing her eyes shining, Shen Mo's eyes were also filled with smiles.
