Shen Yao nodded slightly. “Yes.”

“Four years ago, when I heard that you had failed, I couldn’t believe it… After all, Master Fan had always praised you. He even said that with your grades, you would definitely pass the imperial examination. Later, you injured your leg in the accident. I realized that something was wrong, so I gave up my face to beg the village chief to accompany me to Thunder Mountain County. In the end, I implicated the village chief and he was beaten up…”

Recalling that rainy night four years ago, Shen Dashan’s mood suddenly became very complicated.

“Although your eldest brother and second brother are not as good at studying as you, they do one thing better than you. That is, no matter what happens, they will discuss it with your mother and me. However, you are different. You have been stubborn since you were young. You report good news but not bad

At this moment, Shen Dashan’s eyes were already red when he looked at Shen Yao.

“Father, three years ago, I was too stubborn and straightforward. I didn’t know how to be flexible. That’s why I ended up like this.” Shen Yao slowly looked up, his tone full of introspection. “All these years, I’ve always hated Sun He. Back then, I treated this classmate of mine as a good friend. When I was free, I was even more willing to chat with him. It’s just that I didn’t expect that in the end, all of this was a scheme. Back then, I also thought that I didn’t perform well. In addition, Master Fan had once misled me and I was deeply affected. That’s why

I couldn’t recover…”

Shen Yao smiled self-deprecatingly. “But things are different now. I’ve already understood the truth of the entire matter, so I won’t be rash anymore. Besides, it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.”

” -Okay.” Shen Dashan patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with gratification.

“Third Brother, since you’ve already thought it through, I’ll prepare two jars of top-notch rice wine tomorrow morning. Let’s go to the village chief’s house for a good drink tomorrow afternoon!”

“Okay.”

In the kitchen, Ji Zhao quickly dealt with the two fat ducks.

“Ah Tao, do you think we should braise it or steam it?” Zhao Lanhua stared at the two ducks on the chopping board and was in a dilemma for a moment. ‘The sauced duck you made previously tastes good too.”

“Mother, why don’t we change our method?” Ji Zhao rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “Mother, do we have ginger at home? I want both tender and old ginger!”

‘Yes.” Zhao Lanhua immediately nodded. “But Ah Tao, why do you need so much ginger?”

“I want to make a ginger braised duck” Ji Zhao smiled and snapped her fingers. “Mother, ginger braised duck is fragrant, tender, and delicious. It’s also very nutritious. ‘

“Alright, let’s make this ginger braised duck!”

Ginger braised duck was a Sichuan cuisine, so in addition to tender ginger and old ginger, it also needed green and red peppers, as well as Sichuan peppercorns.

After washing the plucked duck, she cut it into small pieces and rinsed it in boiling water. At the same time, she cut half a catty of tender ginger, two taels of facing heaven pepper, a piece of old ginger, a handful of Sichuan peppercorn, and pickled red pepper into pieces and placed them in a bowl. Then, she mixed the sauce and placed it aside.

Oil was poured into the pot. When the oil was 90% hot, Sichuan peppercorn and old ginger were added. Then, she poured the cut duck into the pot and stir-fried it until it turned yellow and covered with the shine of oil!

Then, she scooped up the duck pieces and left the base oil. She poured in the sauce that she had prepared beforehand and stir-fried it slowly over a low heat. When the base oil in the pot was dark purple, she poured in the duck pieces and stir-fried them quickly for a while. Finally, she added a large bowl of clear water that covered the duck pieces. After boiling it over a high fire, she changed it to a low fire and continued cooking.

About fifteen minutes later, she poured in the tender ginger and chili in and continued to braise them.

Gulp, gulp-

At this moment, the entire kitchen was filled with a rich fragrance.

“Isn’t this smell too fragrant?” Zhao Lanhua, who was adding firewood to the stove, couldn’t help but poke her head out. “It smells so good!”

“Mother, watch the heat. The fire shouldn’t be too strong. It’ll be fine as long as it’s medium-low,” Ji Zhao replied with a smile.

When there was not much soup left in the pot, Ji Zhao added a little salt and quickly lifted the pot and poured it onto a plate.

“Mother, do you want to try a piece?” Ji Zhao picked up a piece of duck breast with her chopsticks and brought it to her lips with an obedient smile.

Zhao Lanhua couldn’t wait to take a bite. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

“This duck meat is not stiff at all, and it’s very soft. More importantly, it doesn’t have the smell of duck anymore.”

“Because the fragrance of the tender ginger and old ginger was stimulated, the smell of the duck meat was also covered up. It’s not difficult to cook the ginger braised duck. The most important thing is to control the fire well.”

“That’s why this ginger braised duck is so delicious. Mother has contributed the most!” Ji Zhao smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

“Ah Tao, your little mouth…” Zhao Lanhua, who was bursting with joy from the praise, said happily, “It’s really sweet!”

“Mother, Ah Tao.” Shen Yao, who followed the fragrance to the kitchen, happened to hear Zhao Lanhua’s voice. He could not help but smile. “Mother, what did you say was sweet?”

“I said, your wife’s mouth is very sweet!” Zhao Lanhua explained with a smile.

Shen Yao’s gaze immediately landed on Ji Zhao’s smiling face. In the end, his gaze could not help but land on her soft lips. He nodded gently. “It’s indeed very sweet.” Cough cough—

Ji Zhao did not expect Shen Yao to dare to tease her in front of his mother.

She couldn’t help but cough twice.

Shen Yao hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

“I’ll bring this ginger braised duck for your father to try…” Zhao Lanhua tactfully left the kitchen with the bowl of ginger braised duck.

Ji Zhao gripped the cup in his hand tightly and slowly looked up at the man standing in front of him.

‘Well… it’s getting late. Shouldn’t we go back to our rooms to rest?”

“Ah Tao.”

‘Yes?’

“I want to traste it.” Shen Yao approached her step by step. He looked down at her flustered and helpless expression and smiled silently.

“Taste… what?” Ji Zhao put her hands behind her back and swallowed nervously. She did not even dare to look him in the eye.

“Of course it’s tasting…”

Ji Zhao silently clenched her fists and obediently closed her eyes.

However, there was no warm breath on her lips.

“Ah Tao, I want to taste the dish you made just now…”

Ji Zhao suddenly opened her eyes and punched his broad and muscular chest angrily!

Unexpectedly, Shen Yao grabbed her slender wrists with one hand and pressed his lips against hers.

In the end, Ji Zhao lay in his arms, as soft as water.

“Shen Yao, if you continue to bully me like this, I’ll really ignore you…” Ji Zhao said weakly.

“Okay.” Shen Yao tapped the tip of her nose affectionately. At most, he would bully her in another way in the future.

“Shen Yao, I’m sleepy…”

“I’ll carry you back to your room to sleep.” Before she could answer, Shen Yao had already carried her in his arms and strode out of the kitchen..
