The next day, late in the morning.
The moment Ji Zhao opened her eyes, the intense scenes that had happened last night kept flashing in her mind. Caught off guard, her cheeks turned red.
It was as beautiful as the sunset in summer.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she hurriedly pulled the thin blanket beside her and covered her face.
She bit the blanket nervously, her face full of shyness.
She was really crazy. She actually allowed Shen Yao to be so rash.
“You’re awake?” Shen Yao sat on the side of the bed and gently lifted the thin blanket covering her head. He asked gently, “Mother has made red bean porridge. Do you want to try it?”
“Mother? Red bean porridge?’ Ji Zhao suddenly lifted the blanket and reacted.
“How can I let Mother cook? No, what time is it now?”
“It’s late.”
“Shen Yao, you… Boohoo…” Ji Zhao’s eyes suddenly turned red as she glared at him aggrievedly.
The moment he saw her cry, Shen Yao panicked. “What happened?”
Shen Yao hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked with heartache, “Zhaozhao, did I hurt you?’
“You’re still talking! You’re still talking!” Ji Zhao turned her anger into a fist and punched his chest fiercely. “It’s all your fault!”
“It’s indeed my fault.” Shen Yao’s heart ached even more. He coaxed her gently, “Zhaozhao, don’t cry anymore, okay?”
Ji Zhao responded gloomily, but from the corner of her eye, she inadvertently glanced at the mark on his neck. She asked in surprise, “Your neck?”
“Zhaozhao forgot?” Shen Yao was caught between laughter and tears when he met her surprised gaze.
Ji Zhao bit her lip silently and calmed herself down to recall. In the end, her face turned even redder.
Shen Yao was not the only one who went crazy last night!
After all, the scratches on Shen Yao’s neck were evidence that she had also committed a crime.
“Cough, cough.” Ji Zhao pretended to cough twice. Just as she was about to get off the bed, her legs went weak and she almost fell.
Shen Yao hurriedly carried her up. “I’ll go to the kitchen and bring the red bean porridge over.”
Fifteen minutes later, Ji Zhao seemed to have heard Zhao Lanhua’s complaints.
“Look at you, you don’t know how to dote on your wife at all! Ah Tao has already lost so much weight, yet you’re still bullying her?” Zhao Lanhua glared fiercely at Shen Yao, her hands on her hips as she raged.
“Mother, Ah Tao is hungry…”
‘Wait a minute, I’ll get Ah Tao two sesame cakes!”
When Shen Yao lowered his head and walked into the room with the tray, Ji Zhao couldn’t help but laugh.
“You still have the energy to laugh at me? Huh?” Shen Yao walked up to her and tapped the tip of her nose angrily.
“I was wrong-I’ Ji Zhao was instantly terrified and obediently ate the porridge.
She did not dare to provoke Shen Yao anymore. After all, if she angered him, she would not be able to get off the bed!
Ji Zhao secretly sized up Shen Yao from the corner of her eye. Many question marks appeared in her mind.
Shen Yao’s figure belonged to the category of looking lean when wearing clothes while being muscular underneath, but from the outside, he clearly belonged to the category of weak scholars!
“Haven’t you seen enough?” Shen Yao couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. He looked into her eyes and chuckled.
‘Who’s looking at you?” Ji Zhao turned her face away arrogantly and took a fierce bite of the sesame cake.
Shen Yao smiled helplessly and wiped the porridge at the corner of her lips dotingly.
“I indeed can’t get enough of my Zhaozhao.” Shen Yao kissed her cheek gently and smiled.
“Of course…” Ji Zhao smiled smugly. “After all, it’s difficult to find a wife as beautiful as me who’s talented and good at cooking!’
“Zhaozhao is right.” Shen Yao smiled and ruffled her hair. His tone was extremely gentle.
Fifteen minutes later, Ji Zhao felt that she had been revived and was full of energy.
“Mother, it’s rare for you and Father to come to the prefecture capital. Let’s not cook at home this afternoon. We have to stroll around and then go to the restaurant to eat a good meal!’ Ji Zhao came to the kitchen and stopped Zhao Lanhua, who was picking vegetables, and suggested happily.
“But…” Zhao Lanhua looked hesitant.
“Mother.” Ji Zhao shook her arm, her coquettish tone overflowing with grievance. “Previously, in order to let Shen Yao prepare for the exam in peace, I couldn’t even take a good look around the prefecture capital. Mother, you’re the best. Can you accompany us out for a walk?’
“Alright!’
Faced with Ji Zhao’s cuteness attack, Zhao Lanhua instantly surrendered. “Ah
Tao, wait a moment. Mother will go back to the house to get the pouch. ‘
“Mother, there’s really no need. I have money on hand!” Ji Zhao said with a smile.
Halfway through the afternoon, there was still an endless stream of customers in Tianxiang Restaurant.
“I didn’t expect the prefectural city to be so lively.” Walking among the bustling crowd, Zhao Lanhua nervously grabbed Ji Zhao’s sleeve and asked softly, “Ah Tao, are we really going to this restaurant to eat? The food here shouldn’t be cheap, right?”
Ordinary restaurants would at most have four doors, but the Tianxiang Restaurant in front of them had eight doors!
“Mother.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and whispered something into Zhao Lanhua’s ear. In the end, Zhao Lanhua walked into the restaurant’s lobby with her chest puffed out.
Surprise flashed across Shen Yao’s eyes. He approached Ji Zhao and asked softly, “What did Zhaozhao say to Mother just now?”
“Actually, it’s nothing much.” Ji Zhao pursed her lips and smiled faintly. “Let’s try the dishes of Tianxiang Restaurant first. I’ll tell you later!” x”Guests, please come in.” The enthusiastic waiter quickly led Zhao Lanhua and the others to the empty table in the hall and introduced them with a smile, “This is your first time in our prefecture, right? Our Tianxiang Restaurant is the number one restaurant in the prefecture. Our signature dishes are crispy chicken, eight-treasure duck, steamed fish, and steamed pork with rice powder. What would you like to eat?”
Zhao Lanhua subconsciously looked at Ji Zhao beside her. “Ah Tao, what should we order?’
“I’ll have crispy chicken first, then steamed fish, then lettuce with garlic and corn flatbread.” Ji Zhao casually looked at the menu hanging on the wall and quickly made up her mind.
“Ah Tao, these dishes are not cheap.” After glancing at the menu, Zhao Lanhua looked at Ji Zhao with heartache and complained softly, ‘This crispy chicken costs six taels of silver. Isn’t this too expensive?”
Zhao Lanhua remembered that the chickens that she had painstakingly fed for an entire year would at most be sold for two taels at the end of the year.
When the crispy chicken was sewed on the table, Zhao Lanhua felt that it was even more unworthy.
“Isn’t this chicken too small?”
“Mother, try it first!” Ji Zhao picked up a chicken drumstick and placed it into the bowl in front of Zhao Lanhua with a smile. ‘Try it first and see what’s so special about this Tianxiang Restaurant’s signature dish.”
Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and opened her mouth to take a bite.
This crispy chicken was really fragrant and crispy, especially the golden and shiny chicken skin outside. It was crispy and smooth. It was indeed delicious..
