I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating - Chapter 152

152 That’s Great!

When Ji Zhao saw the big basket full of crabs, her eyes shone with a strange light!

There were so many big crabs. She almost drooled when she saw them.

“Shen Yao, have you eaten spicy crab before?” Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows smugly. “Let me show you something today!”

After putting on the apron, Ji Zhao washed her hands and began to deal with the live crabs.

!!
This batch of crabs was very fat. Each of them was not small, about the size of Ji Zhao’s palm.

“The crab’s pincers are very powerful. Ah Tao, you have to be careful,” Shen Yao, who was peeling garlic, reminded gently.

“Don’t worry!” Ji Zhao quickly grabbed a big crab, washed its abdomen, and placed it in a bamboo basket at the side.

Around 11 am, Ji Zhao finally finished processing all the ingredients.

She picked up the kitchen knife that Shen Yao had given her and quickly split the crabs in half. Then, she covered them in starch and placed it aside for later.

“Shen Yao, the fire must be moderate. It must not be too big or too small,” Ji Zhao called out with a smile. Then, she began to make this delicious spicy crab.

When the hot oil in the pot emitted white smoke, Ji Zhao poured all the crabs she had chopped into it!

Sizzle—

The crab that had been fried immediately turned red.

After a while, Ji Zhao fished out all the crabs and began to drain the oil.

While the oil in the pot was still hot, she added the minced garlic, ginger, and dried chili, and a spoonful of the secret chili sauce. Soon, a rich fragrance wafted out of the kitchen—

That fragrance made one drool.

At that moment, Qin Minghong, who was checking the accounts, also sensed the fragrance.

He looked curiously at Second Manager You, who was sitting opposite him. “Has the restaurant released its new dishes? This fragrance is very special!”

“Young Master, do you also think that this fragrance makes people drool?” Second Manager You explained with a smile, “Actually, it’s Miss Ji who rented our shop. She’s making spicy crabs.”

“Miss Ji?” Qin Minghong’s mood immediately became excited. “Could it be that Ji Ah Tao, Miss Ji, with outstanding culinary skills?”

“That’s right!”

“But I remember that the name on the lease is Ji Zhao?”

“Miss Ah Tao’s full name is Ji Zhao.” Second Manager You hurriedly smiled and said, “Young Master, Ah Tao is grateful to me for helping her pull strings and rent a shop. That’s why she borrowed our restaurant’s kitchen this afternoon. She said she’s making spicy crab and that the taste of this spicy crab is especially great! But Young Master, don’t worry. I’ve already reported to the head shopkeeper. The silver for those ingredients will be deducted from my monthly salary.”

“There’s no need.” Qin Ming smiled magnanimously, “Although Uncle Yu has taken on the name of the head shopkeeper all these years, I also know that the restaurant is able to make profits all year round because of you. If I have to deduct your monthly salary for such a small matter, it would seem that I’m too unreasonable.”

“Young Master.” Second Manager You was so touched that his eyes turned red. “Ever since I was 16 years old, I’ve come to our restaurant. In the blink of an eye, it’s been almost 14 years. In my heart, the restaurant is my second home.”

“I understand.” Qin Minghong nodded in understanding. “Uncle Yu also told me that before. Second Brother You, I believe that the restaurant’s business will get better and better in the future!”

“Definitely!” Second Manager You nodded firmly.

“Since Miss Ji made spicy crab, why don’t I stay and try it too?”

“That’s great!”
