"What smells so good?"

"Old lady, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Xiao Shugen and Xiao Laosan walked into the yard one after another and followed the smell to the kitchen.

At this moment, several members of the Xiao family gathered around the stove and swallowed their saliva fiercely.

Li Jinhua and Lin Cao were still a little reserved, and while watching, they also helped Xiao Li, the chef. However, the two men who had just returned from the fields were not so particular.

"When did Li'er learn to cook? This smells just as good as what the chefs in those restaurants make. Let me see what's cooking." Xiao Shugen took a closer look and discovered that it was fish. He exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be fish?"

"Fish?" Xiao Lao San had been concentrating on the mouth-watering smell. Upon hearing this, he quickly looked into the pot and was shocked when he found that it was indeed fish. "It really is fish!"

It’s not like my family hasn’t eaten fish before. We suffered a drought a few years ago, and life was much harder than it is today.

At that time, not to mention eating fish, even the tree roots and grass were dug up and eaten.

Although many years have passed, they still remember clearly the earthy smell of cooked fish, which is definitely not this smell.

That is to say, it was necessary to eat it at that time, otherwise few people would get it to eat. Even if they caught it, they would take it to the city to sell it.

Places like wealthy families and restaurants would buy it, fry it in oil, and then cook it, so that it would taste good.

But even so, the earthy smell cannot be completely suppressed. It can only be said that it is not that strong, so there are not many people who like to eat fish at this time.

Although the Xiao family supported the original body, they did not really have to eat fish to make a living, so they had not eaten fish for many years.

How could they not be shocked when they suddenly saw fish at home, especially fish with a mouth-watering aroma?

Bao Ge'er was almost crying from the fragrance. He stood on a small stool and looked eagerly into the pot, "Fourth brother, is the fish ready to eat?"

"Bao'er, are you hungry?" Xiao Li reached out and touched his belly, which was not very flat.

Bao Ge'er had just eaten a piece of cake not long ago, so he was definitely not hungry. "I'm not hungry, fish smells good~"

As he said this, he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and it was obvious that the little guy was very greedy.

Now he was cooking two braised fish. Xiao Li had some hidden agenda and quietly changed the containers of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the space and put them out. He was also willing to add more ingredients. How could it not be delicious?

After estimating the time, Xiao Li felt that the fish was almost done. He gently pinched the little guy's face before putting the fish into the bowl and using the rice bowl to put some side dishes in it.

"It smells good, Bao'er, you've worked hard today, let's taste it first."

"Wow~ Can I eat it, Baoer?"

Because the original owner was a scholar, the Xiao family still followed some rules, such as having to wait until everyone was gathered before eating.

This rule is the rule of their Xiao family. As far as Bao Ge'er can remember, he has always eaten with everyone. He hasn't tried it yet, so why not eat it first?

Xiao Li looked towards Xiao Shugen. The old man rubbed Bao Ge'er's belly lovingly and picked him up with a smile. "Why not? Grandpa will accompany Bao Ge'er out."

"Wow! Grandpa is so nice!" Baoger hugged the old man's neck and twisted around happily.

Seeing the grandfather and grandson's happy faces, Li Jinhua laughed unhappily and said, "I think you, old man, are just greedy and want to eat something secretly! And you use Bao'er as an excuse. You are so shameless even at such a age."

"Ahem!" Xiao Shugen replied guiltily, "Who said that?"

Xiao Li glanced at them with a smile and continued to make the next dish.

One is the old ancestor and the other is the young ancestor, so it’s better for him not to interfere.

Xiao Lao San asked the old lady and Lin Cao to go out and rest for a while, and stayed behind to watch the fire. He also chatted with Xiao Li, "Did Li'er learn to cook in the private school?"

Xiao Li was preparing to stir-fry spareribs when he heard this, but he didn't deny it. "That's about right."

"Li'er has been wronged..." Xiao Laosan, a tall and strong man, had tears in his eyes as he spoke.

Xiao Li: “…” It happened so suddenly.
