Chapter 1815: Chapter 1817: What Day Was She Born?

When cooking, Li Fugui was very serious and focused, thus he didn’t ask about Xiaotian.

Prepping the fish, getting the ingredients ready, then cooking took about an hour!

The first fish experiment was done.

"Look, is this the way it’s supposed to be?"

Xiaoxiao looked into the pot, the broth was red and glossy, the ingredients quite pleasing to the eye, the whole fish wrapped in the ingredients, it looked like something, just not sure how it tasted!

Xiaoxiao picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, shook her head. Xiaoxiao loved fish skin the most, but the first bite of fish skin wasn’t crispy enough, it felt not much different from fish cooked at home, more like stewed fish.

Seems like the issue is with the grilled fish!

Though the taste was passable, this kind of fish could likely be found in restaurants outside, it lacked distinction.

Li Fugui understood what Xiaoxiao meant, this kind of fish could probably be learned from eating out.

So the two of them started over, just now they had pan-fried the fish, this time they decided to try deep-frying it.

The results still weren’t good, so the two started tinkering again.

They coated the fish with flour and eggs, trying all sorts of methods.

Grilled fish wasn’t achieved, but they invented several other ways to eat the fish.

The day passed just like that, the two cooked ten fish and still weren’t satisfied; they decided to try again tomorrow since there were plenty of fish.

The family came back for dinner, greeted by this "fish meeting."

"This fish tastes really good, is this grilled fish?"

Xiaoxiao spoke up, "No, not yet successful."

"What, it’s already tasting great and it’s still not successful?"

Everyone was surprised, wondering what kind of grilled fish Xiaoxiao was talking about, if this wasn’t good enough.

"We’ll keep researching it, if it doesn’t work, we’ll stick with this."

The family just continued eating without further comment, letting them tinker as they pleased.

Originally, they intended to ask about Xiaotian’s situation during the day, but got so engrossed in cooking, it felt inappropriate to bring it up.

Now in the evening, Li Fugui started pondering again.

After much thought, he went to Yang Ming.

In fact, when Li Fugui sought out Yang Ming, Yang Ming wasn’t surprised at all, he totally understood Li Fugui’s feelings of unrequited love, wanting to ask about Xiaotian was only natural.

With so many people at home, it wasn’t appropriate to bring this up in front of everyone, so meeting him alone was understandable.

After entering the room, Yang Ming spoke first, "You want to ask about Xiaotian, right!"

"Yeah, is Xiaotian doing well now? I heard she had a daughter? When was she born? Are her in-laws kind to her? How’s that Guo Feng treating her?"

Li Fugui asked a string of questions, showing how much he missed Xiaotian.

Seeing Li Fugui like this, Yang Ming also felt for him, but what could he do, things were the way they were, and Xiaotian was currently doing well. If Li Fugui continued to entangle himself, it would only cause trouble for everyone; the current situation was the best for everyone.

It was really just unfortunate for Li Fugui.

"She’s well, she had a daughter named Little Yueyue, her in-laws treat her well, and Guo Feng is nothing but good to her. When she had the baby, they even brought our whole family over. They truly care about Xiaotian."

Such words were unmistakably telling Li Fugui that she was doing fine, and he was the unnecessary one.

Actually, Li Fugui had long known this would be the outcome; he knew Guo Feng’s attitude towards Xiaotian, which is why he left so decisively back then.
