The dining room was bustling with noise and excitement. Zhao Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at Yue Jiaojiao seriously. He then picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it in the small bowl in front of her.
"Today, I took Chengfeng to chisel ice on the mountain and caught a big fish. Yesterday, Yang Maozhong gave me a jar of pickled vegetables. I thought of the pickled vegetable fish you mentioned before, so I made one for you to try."
Zhao Zhan, stop whispering.
"Everyone, thank you for coming today. Let's cheer for the New Year!"
Fang Tianliu picked up the wine and poured a cup for Yue Jiaojiao. "This isn't intoxicating. The ladies from wealthy families in Huai County will drink this wine during gatherings. It's a pity that there's no stove to warm the wine."
