Seeing that Jiang Zhi didn't move for a long time, Tao Yirou couldn't help frowning. "What, is this fish so precious that I can't even have a taste?"
Jiang Zhi shook her head, looking hesitant. "It's not that, it's just..."
Could she say that she had spat into the fish just now? Although she herself didn't know why she had Unfathomable mystery spat into the fish, but... if Tao Yirou really ate this spit - infused fish, she would surely come after her. But this was really hard to say. How could she bring it up?
Caught in a dilemma, Jiang Zhi felt extremely uncomfortable. Especially when she thought that all her actions just now had been filmed, she wished she could bang her head against the wall and die.
But her hesitation was interpreted differently in Tao Yirou's eyes.
How dare she! She was even stingy with a fish! And she still wanted to be her daughter - in - law!
"Get out of the way!" Tao Yirou pushed Jiang Zhi aside impatiently.
Then, she picked up a small bowl and scooped some fish into it. In the end, she couldn't help turning back and giving Jiang Zhi a disdainful look.
With so many cameras around, this girl actually dared to disrespect her! It was just a fish, yet she was so stingy. What a petty person!
Tao Yirou picked up her chopsticks, ate a piece of fish, and pretended to be disgusted. "The taste of this fish is just so - so. And she was so stingy about it. To be honest, it's far from what our chef at home makes."
Others: "..."
Barrage: "[...]"
Seeing everyone looking at her with strange eyes, Tao Yirou felt rather puzzled. "What are you all looking at me for? If you want to eat, go and scoop some for yourselves."
Everyone quickly shook their heads.
"No, no, you eat it yourself."
The elders didn't know what had happened just now. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang also picked up a small bowl. "I'll have a taste too."
"Don't!" Wang Yufei, suppressing her nausea, snatched the bowl from her. "Don't eat it!"
"Why?"
"Just don't eat it. Trust me, I'm doing this for your own good."
Seeing that she didn't dare to tell the truth, Jiang Miaomiao immediately explained generously. "Because that pot is'spit - infused fish'."
Tao Yirou thought for a moment. "Seems there is really a dish called'spit - infused fish'. Is it a Sichuan dish or a Hunan dish?"
Wang Yufei: "That's called'spit - infused chicken'. There's no such dish as'spit - infused fish'."
Mrs. Wang was just confused and pointed at the fish in the pot. "Didn't you say this dish is called'spit - infused fish'?"
Jiang Miaomiao nodded. "Yes, it means exactly what it says, fish with spit in it."
"Then I really have to have a taste." Mrs. Wang obviously didn't understand and was rather intrigued. She picked up a spoon and was about to taste it.
"Stop!" Wang Yufei knocked the spoon out of her hand. "Mom! Why are you so gluttonous? I told you it's spit - infused fish, and you still want to eat it!"
"What's wrong with spit - infused fish? Why can't I eat it?"
Wang Yufei was so anxious that her face turned red. "Do you know what's the meaning of spit - infused fish?"
"Of course I know. It's fish so delicious that it makes people drool."
"..."
There was no way.
"Anyway, everyone, don't eat this pot of fish!"
"Why?" Tao Yirou also found it strange. Why was Yufei so against everyone eating the fish? But she had already eaten it herself just now.
Suddenly, she thought of something and her face changed. "Could there be poison in this fish?"
Wang Yufei grabbed her hair, looking conflicted. "Well, there's no poison..."
Should she tell Mrs. Gu that there was spit in the fish? But she had already eaten it. Telling her now wouldn't change anything and would just make her feel disgusted.
After hesitating for a while, Wang Yufei decided not to tell her. But this pot of fish definitely couldn't be kept.
Zhou Huai lowered his voice and quietly told Liu Mingyue and Mrs. Fu what had happened just now. After hearing this, both of them were stunned. Then, they looked at Tao Yirou with sympathetic eyes."
Come on, all you elders, go out first!" The younger ones pushed the elders out of the kitchen. Then, Wang Yufei couldn't wait to pour the pot of fish into the trash can and threw the pot away as well.
She looked at Jiang Zhi, then turned her gaze to the other two. "Let's three of us cook lunch."
After what happened just now, who would dare to let Jiang Zhi stay in the kitchen? God knows what she would make them eat, like spit - infused meat, spit - infused duck, or spit - infused vegetables.
Wang Yufei walked up to Jiang Zhi and said impatiently, "Get out of here. Don't get in the way of our cooking."
Just thinking about Jiang Zhi giving her spit - infused chicken soup before made her furious. She had always regarded Jiang Zhi as a good sister! It was so embarrassing!
"Yufei..." Jiang Zhi's eyes turned red. But thinking about her own actions just now, she hesitated for a moment and then left the kitchen.
It was better to take a break for now. Anyway, that Wang Yufei woman was extremely stupid. As long as she pretended to be pitiful in front of her later, she would forgive her immediately.
The three people in the kitchen didn't know how to cook. They could only take out the remaining initial funds and exchange them with the director's team for some instant food, barely making a lunch.
The guests were used to having delicacies. The simple instant food tasted like wax to them. After taking a few bites reluctantly, they put down their chopsticks.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhi immediately stood up, looking virtuous. "You all worked hard cooking lunch. Let me clean up these dishes and chopsticks."
Jiang Miaomiao glanced at her and saw the following plot.
[Original text: Jiang Zhi rolled up her sleeves and started to work, her movements quick and efficient.]
[System, change'started to work' to'started to perform exorcism'.]
Seeing that Jiang Zhi volunteered to do the work, the others didn't decline and sat on the sofa, planning to take a rest.
"Ah - dai -" A shout suddenly came from the living room.
Everyone was stunned.
They saw Jiang Zhi nimbly roll up her sleeves, mumbling some incantations.
"Zhizhi, what's wrong with you?"
"Demon!" Jiang Zhi suddenly jumped, and then started acting crazy.
"Heaven and earth, yin and yang, all things living. I, by the order of the Patriarch of Maoshan, invite the Three Mao Immortals to descend. With the talisman as proof and the incense as a guide, summon the soul here, and show yourself quickly."
"Swift as the Laws and decrees!"
"Demon, die!"
"..."
The guests and the staff were all dumbfounded. The barrage was also silent.
[Well... Silence is the Cambridge tonight.]
[What is she doing?]
[Obviously, she's performing exorcism.]
[The one who most needs exorcism is herself!]
Everyone was speechless at Jiang Zhi's actions. Only Mrs. Fu's eyes were fixed on Jiang Miaomiao, her eyes full of disbelief.
So, what she had heard Jiang Miaomiao talking to the system before wasn't an auditory hallucination. Her daughter - in - law was really amazing!
"Demon! Reveal your true form!" Jiang Zhi continued to act crazy.
Tao Yirou couldn't stand it anymore. She snatched the talisman made of noodles from Jiang Zhi's hand.
"What are you doing, acting all crazy?"
She was constantly embarrassing her! She shouldn't have brought her to the variety show. Everyone knew Jiang Zhi was in her group, and she was being embarrassed along with her.
Jiang Zhi narrowed her eyes. "How dare you! I am an exorcism master, proficient in the Maoshan exorcism technique. Holding a peach - wood sword, I'm determined to eliminate all demons and evil spirits in the world. How dare you disrespect the master?"
"Master your head!" Tao Yirou slapped her on the forehead. "I think you're the one who needs exorcism!"
Jiang Zhi staggered from the slap. Then, she stood up straight and stared fixedly at Tao Yirou. "This demon has deep magic power. Someone, bring me dog blood!"
