Was she spoiled by her nanny?

After nightfall, the city lights come on, flickering and jumping like fire dragons, making the city in the dark look particularly beautiful.

The wind in early summer brings with it youthful passion. It is slightly hot, but not hot enough to make you sweat. It is very comfortable.

There is no air conditioning in the house, but the windows on all sides are open, letting in the sounds of traffic outside and the colorful world.

Dou Xiao ordered a meal at Xinghe Restaurant. There were more than a dozen dishes for three people, including baked prawns with ketchup, sea bass with pine nuts, eggplant cage with fish flavor, black pepper beef ribs, stuffed loofah, and pork tenderloin.

Xinghe Restaurant is actually owned by the Ye family. It is very famous in Lin City. It has the sauce recipe of the former palace, and the dishes cooked are said to be eaten by the royal family in the past. Every dish is not only authentic in taste, but also very delicate.

For example, this dish of pork tenderloin, made by wrapping the pork tenderloin, shiitake mushrooms and magnolia slices in egg skin into a golden brocade bag, looks delicious. When you take a bite, you can taste the fragrance of the egg, the tenderness of the meat, the crispness of the magnolia slices and the tenderness of the shiitake mushrooms. Multiple flavors jump on the tip of your tongue.

The fragrance permeated the air.

……

When Luo Meilan saw all these delicious foods, she got so angry that her head started to hurt.

This gigolo ordered a bunch of delicious food, but he still wanted Tong Huan to pay for it! Tong Huan had no money, so in the end he had to let her pay for it!

……

Chen Gong was relatively silent and sat down quietly to eat.

Dou Xiao was much more lively. While he was serving the dishes, he put the dishes he thought were delicious in front of Tong Huan. His mouth was also not idle, he kept chattering.

"Do you prefer sea bass with pine nuts or king prawns? Sit down and eat while it's hot..."

Dou Xiao unpacked the chopsticks and handed them to Tong Huan in a friendly manner, or rather, stuffed them into her hand. There was even a hint of flattery in his smile.

"Hey, little cattail, I heard you're from the countryside, right?"

Tong Hua: “???”

Because she had always been looked down upon for her life experience in the countryside in her previous life, Tong Huan subconsciously rejected this topic.

Dou Xiangxiang did not see Tong Hua's embarrassment and said happily, "The countryside is great, the river water is especially clear, do you have a reservoir there?"

Tong Huan was stunned for a while before she responded, "Reservoir, yes."

From the 50s to the 70s, China's rural areas were undergoing large-scale construction. Farmers brought their own tools and there was a boom in building reservoirs. Almost every larger village with the conditions had a reservoir built, and more than 8 reservoirs were built.

Tong Hua was puzzled as to why Dou Xiao mentioned the reservoir. "Why?"

"Then your village should be a relatively large one." Dou Xiao slapped his thigh, "Can't we go fishing in the reservoir? ...Hahaha, little Pu Cao, do you often go fishing in the reservoir?"

Looking at Dou Xiao's excited expression, Tong Huan found it hard to understand.

"No." Tong Huan answered, lacking interest.

"Why? There are no fish in your reservoir?"

"Yes."

"Then why not go fishing? It's so much fun, and fish meat is nutritious."

Tong Huan: “…”

I still sincerely feel that the man opposite me may have a problem with his brain. The rural life he imagines is probably about fishing, listening to the wind, looking at the scenery, catching fireflies, and a poetic and picturesque pastoral life.

But in fact, Tong Huan needs to go to the fields to plant rice and weed, and there is also a pig to feed at home. Because Tong Hongmei goes out to work and is often not at home, almost all the farm work falls on Tong Huan. She also has to study at the same time, so how can she have time to play fishing? Doesn't it cost money to buy a fishing rod?

"That's such a pity." Dou Xiao didn't understand and looked disappointed.

Tong Hua looked at the man who looked disappointed and said, "Actually, if you want to eat fish, you can go to the river and catch them."

Dou Xiao's eyes lit up and he became interested. "How do you catch it? With your bare hands? Huh? How fast do you have to be to catch it? Can you swim?"

Tong Hua said: "There's no need to swim, just drain the water and catch it."

Use mud to block the water upstream, and place bamboo strips downstream to let the water pass and leave the fish behind. Then all the fish will jump in the mud and you can easily pick them up and take them home. This is a great harvest.

Dou Xiao was so excited that he danced with joy. "Hahaha, this is so funny, little Pu Cao, you are so smart. I have never caught fish like this before. Next time, take me with you!!"

Tong Huan rolled her eyes. How bored Dou Xiao must be that other people's means of making a living were treated as fun.

However, after hearing what Dou Xiao said, Tong Huan felt that her dull childhood seemed to have a little more color.

Maybe it is indeed a bit fun, Tong Huan thought, and she felt closer to Dou Xiao.

Dou Xiao was really interested. "What kind of fish are there in your river?"

He was not interested in rural life, he was just interested in Tong Huan. Because of his interest in Tong Huan, he also became interested in rural life.

Tong Hua looked into Dou Xiaoliang's burning eyes and answered patiently, "There are a lot of groupers, bamboo fish, yellow lip... but the most common are loaches."

Dou Xiao was amazed. He had never heard of many of these fish, so he asked about them one by one.

After being asked by Dou Xiao, Tong Huan gradually felt that her rural life was quite colorful, and she started to talk more.

Luo Meilan was very annoyed when she heard this. This Tong Huan actually said something about rural life in the police station. Was she deliberately going against her rich mother? It was really embarrassing.

Tong Huan didn't think of Luo Meilan at all.

Dou Xiao seemed to have opened the door to the world. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop. It seemed like he had a hundred thousand questions. "Little Pu Cao, how are you going to cook the fish you caught?"

Tong Hua: "Braise it, stew it with tofu, or steam it, or mix it with wine lees."

Dou Xiao asked in doubt, "Isn't there a similar method to cooking this pine nut sea bass?"

Tong Hua glanced at him and said, "No, I won't."

Dou Xiao's eyes lit up, "You can't, but I can! ...~"

Dou Xiao was so happy that his forehead was filled with big words: Ask me! Ask me!

Finally I found something he is good at.

Ask me, ask me!

Dou Xiao was anxious, but saw Tong Huan didn't react.

He couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Do you want to learn?"

Ask me, ask me!

If you say you want to learn, I will teach you.

Tong Huan was a little puzzled. Dou Xiao looked like a big yellow dog waiting for his master's favor.

Tong Huan: "...It's OK."

Dou Xiao couldn't wait any longer. "To cook pine nut sea bass, you first need to use a knife to cut the fish body diagonally into a shuttle shape..."

Blah blah blah.

Tong Huan glanced at him and said, "No need to say anything, I'll just read Little Red Book."

Dou Xiao: “…Huh?”

Tong Hua said: "You are too annoying. I read the tutorials on Xiaohongshu, which are intuitive and convenient."

Dou Xiao: “…” He felt like he was being disliked and was a little depressed.

"Okay, okay, let's eat fish."

Dou Xiao unwrapped the tin foil of the pine nut sea bass, picked up a large piece of fish and put it in Tong Hua's lunch box.

Tong Huan accidentally scalded her mouth. She didn't expect that the tin foil had such a good heat-preserving effect.

Jiang Xingrou saw Tong Huan spit out the fish meat in her mouth again. She looked so ugly while eating. It must be because she had never eaten such delicious fish in the poor rural area!

In fact, Tong Huan was only scalded for a moment and ate very politely.

Jiang Xingrou secretly laughed at Tong Huan for being inexperienced and being so timid when it came to eating something delicious, not being generous at all.

In short, no matter what Tong Huan did, in her eyes, it all smelled rustic and poor.

Jiang Xingrou was worried, "Mom, I heard from my sister, she didn't know this man very well, why did she let him be her boyfriend? Isn't my sister...too casual?...She didn't often make friends with strange men like this before, right?"
