Zhao Cong held Gu Wan's soft little hand with his big hand and smiled like a cat stealing some fish.

"Why are you saying sorry to me? I called you over because I wanted you to go home for dinner. You've been busy all day. Are you tired today?"

"It's okay, I think it's quite fun." Mainly because she heard a lot of gossip today, which really refreshed her knowledge!

Thinking of the gossip she heard today, Gu Wan was so excited that she felt particularly energetic. "You know what? I heard a lot of gossip from those aunts today. It really shocked me!"

Zhao Congyi looked at her with a smile and pretended to listen.

She was not used to talking about others behind their backs, but she liked to share with Zhao Congyi what she saw and heard during the day.

She lowered her voice and whispered to Zhao Congyi about the gossip she had heard today.

Before they knew it, they had arrived home. Once they entered the house, Gu Wan no longer had to lower her voice and spoke particularly freely.

When I got home, I found out that Zhao Congyi had already cooked the rice, but hadn't started stir-frying the vegetables yet.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to eat pickled fish? I just saw some fish in the pond. How about we eat that tonight?"

After moving, Zhao Congyi knew that Gu Wan liked to eat, so he bought a lot of seasonings. If there were some that were not available here, he would write back and ask people in his hometown to mail them to him.

It can be said that the seasonings at home are comparable to those in a state-owned restaurant, and you can make whatever you want!

"Ah, will that take a lot of time?" After all, it was already so late, and Zhao Congyi had already worked a whole day and traveled for such a long time, he must be tired and hungry.

If you want to cook a big dish, it will probably take a lot of time!

"Fortunately, the most time-consuming part of making this dish is probably killing the fish. If I kill the fish and you help me prepare the ingredients, it will actually be quick to make."

"Are you hungry? If not, let's cook some pickled fish. I really want to eat some pickled fish!"

Zhao Congyi looked at her acting coquettishly and couldn't help but hold the back of her head with one hand and pull her towards him.

Gu Wan was forced to tilt her head back and stare at him with wide eyes. He slowly lowered his head and rubbed her rosy lips twice.

He wanted to do this when he saw her today, but he held back because there were people everywhere outside.

Gu Wan looked very different today than usual, perhaps because she had a new hairstyle today. The bun made her look particularly energetic.

Especially when she smiled at him, her eyes sparkled and she looked particularly sweet.

"Well, Dr. Zhao, you are really getting better and better!"

If you don’t know, you would think he was the one who traveled through time. His skills in flirting with her are really getting more and more perfect.

Zhao Congyi slightly bent his eyes, with endless tenderness and doting, and said to him in a soft voice:

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am just following my heart." His face was full of innocence and sadness.

He seemed very sad that Gu Wan had misunderstood his feelings.

She stared at her, but couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. She stood on tiptoes and bit his chin hard.

He took a breath and said, "Hiss, you don't want to eat? Huh?"

Hearing this, Gu Wan was startled and quickly stepped out of his arms, even deliberately taking two more steps back:

"You, can you think of something else every day, really, it's daytime now."

Zhao Congyi looked at her meaningfully, knowing that he shouldn't tease her too much when she was wearing clothes, so he stopped teasing her.

"Hurry up and cook. I have to go to the square over there to watch later."

"Yes, as you command, my little ancestor!"

Gu Wan glared at her, but that look had no killing power at all, instead it was filled with a hint of smile.

Zhao Congyi asked her to cut the side dishes first, while he went to kill the fish. One dish was enough for the two of them.

However, Zhao Congyi still fried an extra vegetarian dish. Since the family now uses honeycomb coal, Gu Wan naturally doesn't need to light the fire anymore.

But Gu Wan still wanted to stay in the kitchen and cook with him, and talk about what they had done today.

The dishes were cooked very quickly. Gu Wan always felt that Zhao Congyi was really amazing. He also put the dishes in the pot and fried them a few times this way and that.

Her taste is very ordinary, but the one cooked by Zhao Congyi tastes particularly delicious.

And she did it extremely quickly. She hadn't finished speaking when she had already cooked a dish. Her movements were so smooth and seamless that her heart was pounding just watching her.

After the dish was cooked, it was completely dark. The family used the kind of candles used for worship, which were simply inserted on a radish.

I don’t know what’s going on, ordinary candles are difficult to buy due to purchase restrictions, but these incense and candles used for worship are easy to buy.

Every household in the village will prepare some such incense and candles, and light one when needed.

Compared with ordinary candles, the flame of incense candles is bigger, but they burn faster.

Neither of them was the type to waste time while eating, and Gu Wan was still thinking about the fish in the square.

After the two finished their meal, they placed the dishes in the kitchen. Washing dishes by lighting candles was a bit of a luxury, and Zhao Congyi was also worried about Gu Wan going to the square alone.

When they arrived at the square, almost everyone in the village was there. There were several torches lit around the square. No one knew what was on them, but the fire was very big, lighting up the entire square.

Seeing Gu Wan coming over, the others were talking to her about the progress. She looked at every place and made sure there was no problem. Then the captain asked the militia captain to arrange a few people to keep watch.

These fish are the property of the entire village. It would be terrible if they were lost.

All the people assigned to night watch were men. Zhao Congyi had to go to work and he didn't have many work points, so he wouldn't get any points at that time. Therefore, no work was assigned to him.

No one in the village said anything.

It was half past nine in the evening when everyone started to go home one after another. Gu Wan and the Gong family were going the same way, so Wu Aifen took Gu Wan home while chatting about gossip.

Originally, Lin Jianguo thought that the villagers would use their work points to exchange for some fish, and by then there would probably be only one or two thousand kilograms of fish left.

When it is smoked out, it will probably be only about 700 to 800 kilograms.

Unexpectedly, almost no villager was willing to exchange work points for fish. Even if dozens of kilograms of fish were distributed to each family, the final statistics were compiled.

There are still 6,110 kilograms of fish left.

Smoking so much fish is a huge project and it is impossible to finish it in one day.

Fortunately, it is only a little troublesome to set up the stove on the first day. After that, all you have to do is kill the fish and cut it into pieces.
