I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating - Chapter 54

54 Fragrant Dried Fish

“Mother, I’m fine,” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen quickly explained. “Perhaps it’s because the weather is getting hotter, so I feel suffocated.”

“If you’re really unwell, go see a doctor, okay?” Zhao Lanhua held her hand and reminded her earnestly, “We can’t avoid treatment, understand?”

“Mother, don’t worry. I’m really fine.” Eldst Sister-in-law Shen felt warm in her heart after being cared for by her mother-in-law. “By the way, Mother, didn’t you say that Ah Tao is coming to the county city to set up a stall? I’ve already prepared everything. Do you want to take a look?”

“Alright.” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly nodded and turned around to call out to the dumbfounded Ji Zhao. “Ah Tao, let’s go take a look at your stall.”

“Third Sister-in-law, what business do you want to do?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen asked curiously.

“Eldest Sister-in-law, I plan to sell some fried fish,” Ji Zhao replied softly with a smile.

“Fried fish?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen frowned slightly and was a little worried.

After all, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The food that was fried would probably not be welcomed.

“This time, the village chief brought everyone to fish out a lot of fish from the pond. However, other than our family’s luck, the fish that the other families fished out were too small. Therefore, we decided to set up a stall in the county city to try our luck and see if we can sell all those fish,” Zhao Lanhua explained with a smile. “But when you taste Ah Tao’s fried fish, you will be full of praise!”

When Ji Zhao walked into the kitchen in the backyard, Feng Chunyan was cutting the dragon whisker pastry.

At this moment, Ji Zhao suddenly thought of the plot in the book. She wanted to give her some pointers, but Feng Chunyan’s attitude was a little strange.

“Sister Chunyan?”

“I don’t have that many older sisters.” Feng Chunyan pulled a long face and took out the dragon whisker pastry. When she passed by Zhao Lanhua, she only called her aunt indifferently. Her attitude was not as enthusiastic as before.

“Eldest wife, what’s wrong with Chunyan?”

“Mother, she’s fine. Don’t worry.” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen quickly changed the topic. “Let’s go see Ah Tao, okay?”

Ji Zhao could sense Feng Chunyan’s hostility.

She felt that it was baffling.

However, she was not a saint. She could not be so warm-hearted. Since Feng Chunyan’s attitude was so unfriendly, she had no obligation to remind her.

Ji Zhao removed the basket from her back and took out the fish that she had prepared.

Early this morning, she had already cleaned up all the small fish. She quickly disemboweled them, cut off their heads, and emptied all their internal organs. Then, she washed them with water.

Then, she washed it twice with cooled ginger water before adding a suitable amount of seasoning wine to marinate it.

Ji Zhao turned around and picked up a large blue and white porcelain bowl. She directly added six eggs into it and completely mixed the egg liquid. Finally, she poured in some corn starch and added a little salt. She kept stirring it evenly.

“Mother, please help me start the fire now. The fire shouldn’t be too big.”

“Alright!” Zhao Lanhua replied heartily. She immediately sat in front of the stove and seriously controlled the fire.

When the oil in the pot was completely heated, Ji Zhao smiled and said, “Mother, reduce the heat.”

“Ah Tao? Aren’t you going to take this opportunity to fry the fish? If you reduce the heat, won’t the oil in the pot turn cold?” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen, who was standing at the side, raised a reasonable doubt.

“Sister-in-law, you might not know this, but this is the key to making this crispy fried fish.”
