75 Open Your Palm

Looking at Ji Zhao’s fleeing back, Shen Yao lowered his eyes weakly. A sense of disappointment suddenly rose in his heart.

Back then, he had signed the divorce agreement just to protect his pride.

Now, he really regretted it!

Ji Zhao came to the kitchen and walked up to Second Manager You, who was talking.

“Ah Tao, what’s wrong? Why do you look so lost? Is your husband not feeling well again?”

“No.” Ji Zhao quickly shook his head and smiled. “Second Manager, I suddenly thought of a delicacy that’s especially suitable for summer. I wonder if you’re interested in listening?”

“Let’s go, let’s sit down in the front hall and talk, okay?”

Now, Second Manager You was completely convinced by Ji Zhao’s culinary skills!

Therefore, when he heard that Ji Zhao had thought of delicious food again, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement!

“Actually, the delicacy I want to talk about is called teppanyaki.” After the two of them sat down, Ji Zhao slowly said, “For example, there’s another recipe for yesterday’s squid. It’s even more delicious, and that’s teppanyaki squid.”

“Of course, there are many types of teppanyaki. It’s not limited to squid.” Ji Zhao smiled and introduced, “For example, chicken wings, pork neck meat, prawns, and many vegetables can be made into teppanyaki using iron plates. Moreover, the taste of the teppanyaki fried rice and teppanyaki noodles won’t be too bad either!”

“Ah Tao, what iron plate are you talking about?” Second Shopkeeper You asked curiously.

“Could I trouble you to prepare a brush and paper? I’ll draw it for you to see!”

Ji Zhao thought about it seriously for a while, then drew the iron stove in her mind.

“You can stuff firewood down here. The iron plate on top also has a size requirement. It’s best if it’s one meter long and wide. That’s more convenient.” Ji Zhao handed the drawing to Second Manager You. “Take a look and see if you can find a blacksmith to make such an iron plate stove.”

“Alright, I’ll remember!” Second Manager You nodded hurriedly.

After leaving Hongxing Restaurant, Shen Yao accompanied Ji Zhao to a nearby gold shop.

“Shen Yao, do you think these silver earrings in the shape of small gourds look good?” Ji Zhao asked happily with a smile when she saw the pair of earrings on the counter.

“If you like it, then buy it.”

“It’s not that I want to wear it. I want to buy it for Mother!” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly. “Didn’t that foreign merchant give me five taels of silver yesterday? I want to give Mother and your two sisters-in-law a gift.”

“What about yourself?”

“I don’t need it!”

Ji Zhao chose two pairs of earrings that looked like small pomegranates and lifelike butterflies.

When she gave the pair of small pomegranate-shaped silver earrings to Eldest Sister-in-law Shen, Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly waved her hand and refused. “No, Ah Tao, I can’t accept such an expensive gift from you!”

“Sister-in-law, pomegranates represent blessings for having more children!” Ji Zhao could not help but smile. Then, she stuffed the pair of silver earrings into Sister-in-law Shen’s palm. Before she could react, she grabbed Shen Yao’s wrist and ran away—

“This Ah Tao!” Sister-in-law Shen stomped her feet anxiously. However, she was the only one in the shop. She really could not chase after her!

She opened her palm and looked at the pair of pomegranate-shaped silver earrings lying quietly in her palm. Her eyes gradually turned red, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

On the other side, Shen Yao brought Ji Zhao to the ox cart back to the village.

“Ah Tao, open your palm.” Shen Yao suddenly glanced sideways at Ji Zhao, who was sitting beside him, and chuckled.
