Chapter 336: 109: Teach the scum a lesson, be the matchmaker_3
“Yangyang, why aren’t there any chopsticks?”
Ni Yang laughed and said, “Mom, this is Western cuisine. Western meals are eaten with a fork and knife. Look at me, I hold the fork in my left hand, and the knife in my right hand…” As she spoke, Ni Yang elegantly cut off a piece of the steak, speared it with her fork, and put it in her mouth.
“Wait!” Ni Cuihua interrupted in surprise.
“What’s this, mom?” Ni Yang asked, turning her gaze to Ni Cuihua in confusion.
“Yangyang, this meat is not cooked. There’s still blood drippin’ from it! They should take it back quickly and cook it thoroughly!”
Ni Yang smiled slightly and explained, “This is what a medium-rare steak looks like. It’s tender and juicy, and it tastes great.”
Ni Cuihua expressed her confusion: “How can you eat the beef that isn’t fully cooked? What if it got you sick? What if you catch mad cow disease?”
Ni Yang responded, “Mom, that’s a misconception. In fact, a medium-rare steak is not only edible but also much more flavorful and nutritious than fully cooked beef. It’s like the durian we had last night: it doesn’t look appetizing, but it tastes wonderful!”
Ni Cuihua frowned slightly, “Really?”
Ni Yang continued to encourage her, “Why would I deceive you? Mom, try the steak on your dish.”
Ni Cuihua was hesitant.
No matter what, she still can’t accept raw, bloody meat.
The very sight of it made her skin crawl.
Ni Yang reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry. What I ordered for you is medium well. It won’t be bleeding.”
Ni Cuihua finally relaxed, picked up the knife and fork, and began to cut the steak as she had seen Ni Yang do it.
Ni Yang had made it look straightforward while cutting, but when Ni Cuihua tried it, the utensils seemed to have become dulled.
Ni Yang got up with a chuckle, went to Ni Cuihua’s side, slightly leaned over and gently guided her hand to teach her how to operate the knife and fork, “Mom, like this, and then this.”
After a moment, the entire steak was cut into nice little pieces.
Ni Cuihua stabbed a piece of beef and put it in her mouth.
The beef was sprinkled with lemon juice and black pepper, so it didn’t have a gamey taste, and it was neither tough nor chewy. The taste was indeed way better than that of the soy-sauce beef and braised beef she was used to.
Ni Yang handed her a piece of steak from her dish, “Mom, now try this medium-rare piece.”
Ni Cuihua hesitantly accepted it, closed her eyes, and slowly chewed it in her mouth.
The taste…
It wasn’t bad at all, just like what Ni Yang had described. The texture was excellent, tender and juicy, and it was delightfully bouncy when she bit into it.
Even though it tasted great, Ni Cuihua still preferred the medium-well-done beef.
But these escargot were so big and unlike the ones she had seen in the fields, she mistook them for river snails. freewebnσvel.cøm
