Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Yun Zhao's eyes went wide, he looked at Su Wan who was already arranging a set of papers in front of her. She had thought of doing her best for the sake of taking care of this city, even though she wasn't handed any resources by the Emperor and only the order to take care of this place, she still wanted to do a good job as it wasn't in her nature to leave things half done.

She then placed the papers which she had arranged in front of Yun Zhao and then started explaining, " You might not believe me but I know how to cook the seafood which you can't sell and not only do I know how to cook it but I can also clean it in a manner which will take away the fishy scent along with the mucus sticking inside the tentacles of the sq…I mean the bell fish."

When Yun Zhao heard that Su Wan knew how to clean those terrible things, his eyes immediately brightened but then he lowered his head and shook his head before replying, " I understand that madam wants to help the town but it's not that easy. The last time someone ate a fish which was caught by a fisherman and sold by the butcher, that person got poisoned.

Fortunately, he took only a single bite and was thus saved but ever since then the people of this place developed a resistance to eating seafood."

They naturally had a wide variety of fish but they only stuck to the common fish that everyone ate along with some small shrimps and nothing more. Most of the time they relied on the seaweed which wasn't poisoned though it tasted bad.

Su Wan have naturally heard of this incident and also knew that it was caused by blowfish. The liver, ovaries and skin of that blowfish contained tetrodotoxin which was highly poisonous even in the modern world it did not have any antidote.

The man who ate the blowfish most likely ate a piece which was not cleaned but this was not something that Su Wan was worried about as she knew how to clean that fish and was even an expert in it.

" You don't have to worry about it since I said that I can clean them well, I mean it," she then turned to look at Lin Yu and then asked him to bring a lively squid from the vat which they brought with them and then turned to look at Yun Zhao before saying, " I will trouble, mister Yun by asking him to stay for a while. You will naturally understand what I mean after you see it for yourself."

Yun Zhao of course noticed that Su Wan was going to cook that ugly thing, he wanted to stop her but then he thought of how this woman was the magistrate of this town and stopped himself. It was fine, as long as she was confident, he will take a bite and then refuse to eat before telling her that it was impossible to sell.

Of course, Su Wan was well aware of the resistance that Yun Zhao was having in his heart but she was confident in her skills. She had learned all kinds of dishes from all over the world and today she was going to use the street-styled grilled recipe to win over Yun Zhao's trust as it was simple and easy.

She walked inside the kitchen where Lin Yan followed her after living his brothers to entertain Yun Zhao. Though he was still upset after finding out Qi Zhen, he decided to keep his dissatisfaction to a minimum, Su Wan was right—— this matter was something that they needed to think through before making a decision.

How can Su Wan not notice his restless appearance, she sighed and patted him on the back before saying, " You need to calm down. I know that you are angry but your anger is not going to lead you anywhere. For the time being focus on the task which is in your hands as for the rest leave it to me, sooner or later, Qi Zhen will suffer his retribution."

" How are you going to that?" Having learned how to clean squid from Su Wan, Lin Yan was busy cleaning it up when he heard the words coming out of his wife's mouth. " Did you not hear? The people here trust Qi Zhen a lot."

"That's because Qi Zhen never met his match," Su Wan sneered as she started mixing the marinade by combining the ginger, soy sauce, rice wine and miso paste which she made with homemade ingredients with the chilly paste that she used often.

" He is this kind because he knows that he is the one at the top, people like him are used to looking down on others but once they see someone doing better than them they will start to get restless. Just leave it all to fate, those who didn't do anything good for my family, I won't leave them alone."

Lin Yan felt a warm current flow inside his heart, he looked around and then swopped down to kiss Su Wan on the cheek causing the latter to flush as she kicked him.

" What are you doing messing around when we are supposed to be working!" Though she said that her voice was obviously filled with a little smile as she did not expect that her husbands would still like her even though she had a baby.

" What can I do? My wife is the cutest," said Lin Yan as he placed the squid in the marinate and started to prepare the grill on which they were going to cook it.

On the other side, Su Wan started to prepare mayonnaise since they needed to wait for the squid to marinate.

By the time the two of them were done with the chores, the squid was done marinating. Once it was done, Su Wan picked up a pair of tongs and then greased the squid with oil before placing it on the grill…. As the ignited coals came with the well-marinated squid, a delectable scent flooded the room outside.
