First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

As for the black fish, she peeled off the skin first, blanched it with water, added coriander and chopped green onions to make a cold fish skin dish.

Then I fried a plate of peanuts and paired it with cold fish skin.

The black fish was cut into pieces and Su Jixiang made a braised fish fillet dish. She also added some peeled chestnuts to it.

Mangcheng is surrounded by mountains, and there are plenty of wild hazelnuts, wild chestnuts and various mountain products on the mountains. When these nuts are ripe in autumn, people go into the mountains to pick them, then dry them and sell them at the market.

Chestnuts are easy to preserve, but they will freeze if you throw them outside directly.

When you need to use it, just thaw it and peel it.

When the sour soup fish fillets are ready, the braised fish cubes also start to absorb the soup. Because chestnuts are added, the soup appears thick and rich.

After the braised fish pieces were taken out of the pot and put away, everyone carried them to the main hall.

Since Wei Ling was able to get up and walk around, he no longer needed to eat in the room.

The floor heating and stove had already been lit in the main hall. Wei Ling couldn't stand the cold at all, so the temperature was higher where he was.

After everyone sat down, Xie Yingfeng smiled so hard that his teeth were showing when he looked at the table full of dishes.

"I told you! As long as Madam Wei is the one who makes the move, the meal will definitely be delicious!" Xie Yingfeng saw Wei Ling pick up the chopsticks and hurriedly picked up his chopsticks as well, "Why don't we just eat together in the future? Anyway, it's a meal for you two, and it's also a meal for us. It's just adding two pairs of chopsticks!"

"You are really thoughtful." Wei Ling glanced at him, "Then why don't you let us go to your house? It's just a matter of adding two pairs of chopsticks anyway."

"Then our food is not as delicious as yours?" Xie Yingfeng said with a thick face. "If my wife had the cooking skills of your wife, I would definitely invite you to eat! Eat as much as you want! Eat as much as you want!"

"Did you hear that? He's complaining about the bad cooking you do." Wei Ling looked at Qu Wanning.

Qu Wanning was holding a piece of snow-white fish fillet, and now he didn't know whether to eat it or not.

"No, no!" Xie Yingfeng quickly explained, "It's just that I'm not as good as Madam Wei! It's also very good! Very good!"

Qu Wanning...she doesn't know how to cook at all, otherwise why would she come here to learn from Su Jixiang! But she knew that Xie Yingfeng was trying to save her face, so she didn't say anything and just smiled.

"Eat your food. Ignore them." Su Jixiang saw Qu Wanning's embarrassment and whispered to her. "Come and eat whatever you want. I can make it."

"Hmm." Qu Wanning then smiled and put the fish fillet into his mouth. The fish fillet was coated with the aroma of onion and garlic, and was soaked in soup, with a sour and spicy taste. It made his mouth water as soon as he took a bite. The sour and spicy taste is appetizing, and he couldn't stop eating after taking this bite!

"Just these few cakes." Su Jixiang took a cake for her.

The shortbread uses very little oil, but it is still fried until golden and crispy. When you take a bite, the crust is golden and crispy, and it pops in your mouth and smells delicious. Inside is the scallion oil filling that has been added to the shortbread, which is soft and fragrant. It really is two flavors in one pancake.

Qu Wanning's eyes lit up. Delicious!

Seeing Xie Yingfeng and his wife eating so happily, Wei Ling couldn't help but relax his brows.

He looked at Su Jixiang, who was concentrating on drinking soup. The snow-white soup surrounded her rosy lips. Under the light, even the tendons on her neck could be clearly seen. Wei Ling suddenly felt that Su Jixiang was like a little deer drawing water from a stream.

Su Jixiang felt as if someone was looking at him. He raised his eyes, but found that Wei Ling had lowered his eyes. No one was looking at him. Was it an illusion?

Su Jixiang continued to drink his soup.

She knew the soup she made herself was absolutely delicious. It had been simmered on low heat for an hour. The soup was snow-white. The fish was fresh, so the fish soup was naturally so delicious that it would make your eyebrows drop.

Su Jixiang sighed with emotion. In ancient times when there was no industrial pollution and no breeding technology, fish were grown naturally. Moreover, Mangcheng is located in the north and the water is cold. Although the fish in the river do not grow as fast as those in the south, their meat is firm and delicious, even fresher than the fish in warm water!

The braised fish fillets were also very popular. They contained chestnuts, which gave it a slightly sweet taste. The sweetness just suppressed the fishy smell and brought out the freshness of the fish. Wei Ling liked sweet food, so he ate the most from this dish of braised fish fillets with chestnuts.

The black fish has few bones and is made up of large pieces of fish meat that have been soaked in the soup and are very tasty. The chestnuts are soft and sticky after being stewed for a long time, and they melt in the mouth. They are a little sandy and have a soft texture that is incredibly good.

After dinner, Xie Yingfeng took Qu Wanning back home, and Su Jixiang went to call Wei Zhong to support Wei Ling as usual, but was stopped by Wei Ling.

"I have already told Wei Zhong not to come to the backyard anymore." He extended his hand to Su Jixiang, "You are my wife."

Su Jixiang...

So this man wants me to serve him?

"I won't make you tired." Wei Ling saw Su Jixiang standing still, "If you want to cook, do it. If you don't want to cook, just let Guihua and Lushui do it. But I don't think it's right that you always avoid me like this. Are you afraid of me or do you have some concerns?"

The corners of Su Jixiang's mouth twitched inadvertently.

She thought about it, then took two steps forward and held the hand that Wei Ling extended to her.

"I'm not afraid of you, I'm just not used to it." Su Jixiang said faintly. "I'm not used to being married, and I'm not used to having another man around me."

"Yeah." Wei Ling nodded, "I understand, but you have to get used to it. Jixiang, I have to say it again today. I acknowledge you for a lifetime. I gave you the right to choose. You chose me, which means you acknowledged me. So I think you should learn to get used to my existence."

Su Jixiang raised his eyes and met Wei Ling's deep eyes.

Her heart was slightly disturbed.

Before she could react, Wei Ling had already stood up, holding her hand, and pulled her into his arms.

Su Jixiang was startled when she felt Wei Ling hugging her tightly, and her back suddenly stiffened.

His body was full of the smell of herbs, not strong, but not unpleasant either... mixed with a group of unique male scents, it immediately rushed into Su Jixiang's nose and dominated her body.

"Jixiang, there are many things I can't say." Wei Ling's voice sounded above Su Jixiang's head, "But I can promise you that I will only have you in my life. And it can only be you."

Su Jixiang was a little shocked...was it progressing so fast?

She's not ready yet!
