Qiao Jintang didn't expect that Shang Tingzhou would drive her directly to the suburbs.

This is a restaurant specializing in fish. It is built by the water and there is a huge pond next to it where some guests are fishing.

The aroma of grilled fish wafting in the air makes people salivate.

Qiao Jintang suddenly wanted to eat grilled fish again.

Sensing her thoughts, Shang Tingzhou curled his lips and asked, "Why, do you want to eat grilled fish?"

She nodded honestly.

"Well, Madam, just order whatever you want."

As soon as I walked into the restaurant, a white-haired old lady came over with a menu.

Seeing Shang Tingzhou, she greeted him enthusiastically, "Tingzhou is here. Wow, this time he brought such a beautiful girl with him!"

Shang Tingzhou turned slightly and said, "This is my wife Qiao Jintang."

"Wife? Are you married?"

"Well, her job is special and has not been made public yet."

Shang Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Jintang again. She was looking around like a curious baby. "This is Grandma Chen. Her husband and Grandpa were comrades-in-arms."

So that's how it is. She then asked how Shang Tingzhou, with his identity, could know such a place.

Grandma Chen was very enthusiastic. She took out a towel from her apron pocket and wiped the table. "Come on, come on, take a seat. The old man is staying at his brother's house for a while. Otherwise, he would be happy to know that Tingzhou is getting married."

There were only a dozen dishes on the menu, almost all of which were fish. Qiao Jintang ordered pickled fish and grilled fish.

Just as she was about to tear up the paper bag that contained the chopsticks, Grandma Chen came over with two fishing rods, handed the lighter one to Qiao Jintang, and patted her on the shoulder, "What a beautiful girl! Keep it up!"

Qiao Jintang was confused, "This..."

She tilted her head to look at Shang Tingzhou, "What's this for?"

Shang Tingzhou was amused by her expression, "You need to catch fish yourself if you want to eat fish here."

What the hell?

Do you have to fish for a meal?

The good-looking brows frowned, "What if I can't catch any fish or I don't want to catch any?"

Grandma Chen then explained, "Of course you can choose ready-made ones, but that would defeat the purpose of eating fish. The fish you catch yourself tastes the best! Tingzhou is really good at fishing. Last year, several brothers came here specifically for a fishing competition, and Tingzhou won!"

Come on, respect the rules here.

Shang Tingzhou was very gentlemanly and helped Qiao Jintang prepare the fishing equipment.

“Most of the fish in the pond are river fish, which are caught and put here for feeding.”

Qiao Jintang thought back to her previous life, when she occasionally took some time off from her busy schedule to go fishing at the riverside in the suburbs with her personal maid. She always missed the fish, and she was so angry that she wanted to throw explosives into the river.

He had no interest at first, but when Shang Tingzhou caught the first fish, Qiao Jintang's desire to win emerged.

"Madam, don't be impatient when fishing. If you keep walking back and forth, it might backfire."

Seeing that Shang Tingzhou's third fish had already been hooked, while his own fish had not yet opened, Qiao Jintang wanted to curse all the fish in the pond.

She sat back in her chair, and the two of them sat very close to each other. The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the sunset lengthened their silhouettes.

After fishing for nearly two hours, Shang Tingzhou had a good harvest, but Qiao Jintang only caught a small, pitiful fish fry.

Grandma Chen cooked the meal herself, and after a while, the delicious pickled fish was served on the table.

"Take your time to eat. If you need anything, just ask the waiter."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma Chen."

Shang Tingzhou nodded politely, picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in the clean small bowl in front of him. After picking out the fish bones, he handed the bowl to Qiao Jintang, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Qiao Jintang was stunned for half a second, staring at the fish in the bowl without moving his chopsticks.

"Why, there are still thorns?"

"No."

She just didn't expect him to be so considerate. If this continued, she would become dependent on him.

"Don't worry, ma'am. Neither the chopsticks nor the bowl have been used."

That's not what she meant.

Without hesitation, I picked up the fish and put it into my mouth. It was a little cold after all the trouble, but it tasted really good.

Her eyes lit up, and she picked up another piece of fish and began to pick out the bones. "This cooking skill is no worse than that of a chef in a five-star hotel."

Seeing that she liked it, Shang Tingzhou smiled.

Soon, the grilled fish was served.

The fish is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and delicious. In addition, this fish is caught by myself, so there is an inexplicable sense of satisfaction when eating it.

After eating and drinking his fill, Qiao Jintang touched his bulging belly and sighed with satisfaction.

"Madam, have you finished your meal?"

Shang Tingzhou was holding a tissue and wiping the corners of his mouth elegantly.

"Well, eat well, eat well. When you get up tomorrow, you have to weigh three pounds!"

Grandma Chen brought them another glass of lemonade. "It's diluted, not sour. Tingzhou's wife, how does it taste?"

Qiao Jintang gave her a thumbs up and said, "It's delicious."

Grandma Chen smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. "As long as you like it, that's good. Tingzhou comes here several times every year. In the past, he either came with his family or by himself."

Grandma Chen paused, full of relief, "I never thought that he would bring a wife here one day. When did you get married? Tingzhou is so busy, is it hard to date him?"

Qiao Jintang was stumped by the question.

Shang Tingzhou lied fluently, "My wife is also very busy at work. I think she shouldn't be tired."

hehe--

We have never been in love, okay?

Until now, I have always regarded you as a familiar stranger!

"We are all busy people. I treat you to this meal. I didn't have time to prepare a gift for meeting Tingzhou's daughter-in-law for the first time."

Just as Qiao Jintang was about to refuse, Shang Tingzhou gave her a look, then stood up and bowed to Grandma Chen.

"Thank you, Grandma Chen."

"Don't be polite, it's getting late, you should go back quickly. The roads in the suburbs at night are not as easy to walk on as those in the city."

Without staying too long, Shang Tingzhou took Qiao Jintang away.

As soon as he got in the car, he suddenly said, "Grandma Chen's husband used to live in the same dormitory with Grandpa, but later retired early due to an injury. This restaurant has been open for more than 20 years and has never changed its location."

There used to be a lot of residents living nearby, but most of them moved away later on. Apart from old customers, very few people know about this restaurant.

Qiao Jintang listened carefully and decisively logged into Weibo to post the photos he had taken while fishing.

Female Ghost Professional v: Found a delicious fish restaurant.

Just a simple sentence, and soon, it received nearly ten thousand comments.

[Sister Qiao is not crazy today: If Sister Qiao says it is delicious, then it must be delicious. I will go there tomorrow! ]

[Xiao Qiao's leg pendant: Does Sister Qiao know about Sister Qiao's news? Our Xiao Qiao must have been scared last night. ]

[Tang Song's agent, Brother Huzi: Little fairy, I will take Tang Song to the desert for retreat right now, and I promise he won't disturb you! ]

Just because of Qiao Jintang’s Weibo post, Grandma Chen’s restaurant became completely popular.

"Ma'am, would you like to take a walk?"
