The little koi fish lay beside the barrel and wagged its tail at him.
His eyes were watery, clear and sparkling, and he looked full of energy.
Seeing Xiaoyu like this, Qin Zhao felt as if all his fatigue from the day had been washed away in that moment. He stepped forward and touched the little koi's head, saying, "You must be hungry. I asked someone to buy some sugar in town. I'll make you some steamed cakes later."
Sugar cake?
Qin Zhao can even do this?
Jing Li was a little surprised.
In fact, Qin Zhao never did it.
He didn't like sweets, and had never thought about learning how to make these pastries. But last time he saw that Little Koi really liked these pastries, and since he couldn't go to town to buy them all the time, he thought about learning how to make them himself.
He asked a few familiar villagers in the village and soon found out that Li Dali's wife could do this, so he went to her house to learn how to make it.
But he himself had no idea whether he could do it.
The rice has been soaked the day before, drained, and then pounded into a powder and sieved. Add water to the sieved rice powder to make rice slurry, stirring as you add water.
This step is extremely troublesome, and if you are not careful the pastry will not be able to take shape.
Making pastries is a delicate job. By the time the rice cakes are put into the steamer and steamed, it is already dark.
"It still needs to be steamed for another stick of incense. Eat something else to fill your stomach first." Qin Zhao broke off a piece of steamed bun and gestured to the little koi, but the latter shook his head and shrank back.
He doesn't want it.
He wanted to save room for sweets and cakes.
Seeing him like this, Qin Zhao stopped forcing him and said, "The house will probably take three or four days to be built. I'll take you to see it when it's finished. I'll go to the nearby villages in a couple of days to find some carpenters. The things in this house all belong to the Chen family. We can't move them out. We have to build new ones."
He told the little koi in detail about what he had seen and heard today and the upcoming arrangements. The little koi listened very carefully and wagged its tail from time to time in response.
By the time the story was over, the rice cakes had already been steamed.
Qin Zhao turned around and went to the stove to get some cakes. The little koi fish looked at his movements expectantly, and suddenly heard a noise coming from the door.
The sound was not loud, like someone outside gently pushing the door.
Qin Zhao naturally heard it too.
He put down what he was holding and walked over to open the door. The house was quiet and empty. It was already late at night, with no stars or moon outside, and it was so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.
Qin Zhao frowned slightly, looked around but saw no one, so he closed the door again.
The little koi fish hid in the wooden barrel, only cautiously revealing its two eyes.
He was more worried about being seen than anyone else.
Qin Zhao brought the steamed cake to the table and said in a gentle voice, "There's no one outside, don't worry."
The little koi nodded and rubbed Qin Zhao's fingertips as if seeking comfort.
Qin Zhao gently stroked his head, feeling helpless.
In fact, he had already thought of a solution to this problem.
The notice is looking for a koi fish. As long as the little monster is willing to transform into a human form, the problem will be solved.
But...
It was all his fault that he couldn't help himself and told the little monster the words that he hated being deceived the most.
Since that day, the little monster kept his identity secret even more tightly. Not only did he not try to transform into a human form again, he even did not complain when Qin Zhao left him alone at home for a whole day.
He seemed determined to act like an obedient and well-behaved pet fish.
She was so well-behaved that Qin Zhao felt a little distressed.
He tried so hard to hide his identity that Qin Zhao felt that he was too cruel to bully and test him in every way, and he couldn't bear to expose him again.
"Hold on for a few more days." Qin Zhao said, "We'll move in when our new home is built."
