Ni Cuihua said with a smile, Youre being too polite, Chenggui, have a seat. Try the Sour Fish that Yangyang cooked. This girl loves to experiment, have a taste and see if its good?
Although she called it an experiment, Ni Cuihuas eyes were filled with pride.
How could she not be proud to have such a capable daughter like Ni Yang?
If it were not for Ni Yang, she would probably still be struggling in Dam Village.
The life she leads now is something she had never dared to dream of before.
Sour Fish? Curiosity sparkled in Ni Chenguis eyes, This is my first time trying this kind of fish. It smells delicious, Im sure it tastes great too.
Aunt Ni, have a taste first. Ni Yang used serving chopsticks to place a piece into Ni Chenguis bowl.
Ni Chengui was not particularly fond of fish. Also, not all good-smelling food tasted as good. But it was hard to decline Ni Yangs warm invitation, so she didnt refuse.
Under Ni Yangs expectant gaze, Ni Chengui took a bite of the fish. Her expression went from indifferent to surprised!
The fish was not only incredibly tender and fresh, but was also savory, sour and spicy. It was simply delectable!
Yangyang, is this really fish? How come theres no fishy smell at all? Its so delicious! Ni Chenguis eyes lighted up excitedly. She had never had such tasty fish before! She was even starting to question if this was really fish.
Ni Yang nodded slightly and explained, This is squid. I marinated the slices in cooking wine before cooking, and combined it with pickled vegetables, which is why theres no fishy smell.
Yangyang, youre really amazing! Ni Chengui turned to Ni Cuihua and laughed, Yangyangs mother, youve really raised a good daughter. Youre certainly in for a good life in the future!
Ni Cuihua was all smiles, This girl has been sensible since she was a kid.
By the way, Yangyang, where did you learn to make this Sour Fish? Ive never had it before. Ni Chengui asked.
With a calm expression, Ni Yang replied without any hint of smugness from the praises, I saw it in a cookbook.
Ni Chengui continued to ask, What cookbook was it?
Ni Yang replied, 1 cant remember, it was so long ago. Sour Fish seems to be a dish from Chongqing. Aunt Ni, if you want to learn, I can teach you.
Even though Ni Yang was hoping to earn money from cooking Sour Fish, she had no intention of keeping the recipe a secret, especially since it wasnt her original creation.
I was just asking, Ni Chengui continued, With my job keeping me busy all day, where would I find the time to learn this? In fact, Ni Chengui had been farming at home until five years ago. After her husband was killed in a car accident, the trolley company not only paid her a substantial compensation but also arranged a decent job for her with high pay and a light workload.
By the way, since 1 live alone and only eat at home in the evenings, how about 1 start eating at your place from now on? Ni Chengui continued, But dont worry, Ill pay for my meals. How about 1 give you 5 yuan per month for my meals?
Given that Ni Chengui had made such a proposal, it would clearly be inappropriate to refuse. Ni Yang laughed and said, Aunt Ni, youre welcome to come over anytime, not just for dinner. We live together, we should be like family. Theres no need to talk about money.
