756 Will you be fine?
" I never said that," seeing that she was caught, Wu Junfen denied the crime at once, acting as if she had no idea what her mother was talking about but Old Madam Wu wasn't as naive as Yue Hua who would believe everything that Wu Junfen told him, she narrowed her eyes and then turned to look at Yu Dong who was smiling while whisking the sriracha, lemon juice and honey before saying, " Yu Dong, I am the older one …hand me the biggest piece all right? It's filial piety for the younger ones to show respect to their elders."
" Ah? Can't you see the chilli that she has added to the bowl old woman?" said Wu Junfen who looked at her mother in surprise upon seeing how shamelessly she was asking for the biggest piece of salmon. "Your stomach will go crazy in the morning …do not ask me to bring your medicine from the town then."
" I won't, I have a reserve stored in my secret stash!" Old Madam Wu announced sounding rather proud causing Yu Dong to chuckle as she shook her head and then applied the marinade to the salmon usually it took more than three hours to soak it all up but with her spiritual energy she added more speed to the process and then started to grill it right away.
" Dont worry, there is enough for everyone," she told the anxious Old Madam Wu and Wu Junfen as she handed the mildly spicy one to Yu Mai, Fang Chi and Chen Mi who could not handle spicy things well before grilling a few pieces for her Shen Li and Ye Liu and adding another one for Xiao Hua.
Shen Li loved everything spicy, even though he did not look like it, he could eat more than twenty chillies if he wanted without breaking into a sweat. He took a bite of the grilled hot shot salmon and hissed in surprise when the spicy and sweet flavour started to spread all over his mouth.
"It tastes so good," he exclaimed in surprise while Ye Liu nodded on the side fervently.
Xiao Hua on the other hand forgot all about his delicate actions and took a big bite while closing his eyes in satisfaction. "It is really delicious!" After speaking he turned to look at Jiang Fenhua who chose the spicy version and asked, " Will you be all right? I don't you should eat something so spicy with your condition what if you get troubled in the morning?"
Jiang Fenhua took a bite of his grilled salmon and smiled elegantly at Xiao Hua, he was not angry with Xiao Hua's runny mouth in fact he was happy, at least this way he knew that he was not a guest but a family member in this house.
" I will be fine, my child was craving something spicy and smoky like the grilled chicken skewers in the capital but the chef of my house could not recreate the taste as I wanted, at least with this in my stomach … I am satisfied." What Jiang Fenhua did not tell them was that his chef could have recreated the same taste very easily but the thing was that his presence was unwanted in that house, the chef along with everyone else pretty much ignored him just like Qiao Sha, sometimes his mother in law would bring something for him to eat from the market but in the end she was his mother in law and could not always pamper him which might make his reputation go even worse.
Many times she had scolded Qiao Sha to take care of him better but that woman, humph, she always ignored her mother's words and did not care about him!
As he remembered the unhappy memories of the Qiao house, he started to eat the grilled salmon even more fervently.
" You are satisfied with just this?" Yu Dong questioned as she looked at Jiang Fenhua who was enjoying his meal and raised a brow. " I haven't even brought the show stopper out yet."
As she spoke she caught the attention of everyone as Old Madam Wu turned to look at her and asked, " Is there something even more good than this?"
" Yeah, Dong Dong… I thought that this salmon thing was already good enough but now you are saying there is something even better …? That is making me excited now," Aunt Wang rubbed her hands together after putting her bowl down on the extended wooden platform at the back of Yu Dong's room where her husband and she were sitting.
Seeing his wife act like this, Uncle Fu was amused, he smacked his wife on the arm and said, " Stop acting like a glutton … you will explode at this rate."
" There is no way! I can even eat another round of those salmon skewers and still have enough space to fit in this good thing," said Aunt Wang with an affronted look. " Isn't that right, little Zhen?"
She spoke to her youngest son in a baby voice but little Zhen was so busy with his meal that he did not even look up at his mother.
" Zhen? You have finally come up with his proper name, Aunt Wang?" Yu Dong brought over the large pot in which she had blanched the lobsters earlier and then started to place them on a large plate while bringing out the garlic and ginger sauce that she made earlier with Chen Mi.
" Yup, I and your uncle have settled on the name Zizhen, it's annoying to continue picking up names so we chose the one that you told me," Aunt Wang replied while rubbing the back of her head, she and her husband were not scholars and did not have much knowledge, if they did then she would not have named her daughter Cai and son Situ.
So when Yu Dong gave her a suggestion, she immediately picked it up and told her husband who also agreed with her suggestion, the only downside was that her son and daughter were demanding a new home and first name now, after getting jealous of such a good name that their brother received!
