"It's done! Peony Silver Ribbonfish Sashimi!"

...

...

A plate of crystal-clear "peony flowers" was served, and Zhao Jin's eyes practically glued to it for a closer look:

"Wow! This is... this is the fish from just now? This peony is amazing!!"

"Of course, this is unique to our Cui family's knife skills. Only my grandfather in the whole country can make this peony fish sashimi. The key is that the peony appears before the fish dies. If you don't believe me, look, it's all cut without breaking the fish!"

Cui Mingyue said proudly, "Do you know how many people have paid a lot of money to invite my grandfather to cook at their homes, but he never goes?"

Zhao Jin gave a few perfunctory replies: "Yes, yes, your grandfather is amazing, your grandfather is really amazing—but isn't this how Japanese people eat sashimi?"

Old Liu sipped his tea and shook his head repeatedly:

“Young man, you need to study more. This fish sashimi is something from our ancestors. We started eating it in the Qin Dynasty. Fish sashimi was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty. You must not say anything like forgetting your ancestors in the future.”

"What you said really resonated with me, brother."

Cui Shengguo walked out, followed by Xu Milu carrying a plate of steamed fish pieces.

"Back in the Qin Dynasty, 'kuai' meant finely sliced ​​raw meat. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, even more people loved to eat it. Cao Zhi also loved to eat it, especially fish kuai dipped in shrimp paste. You see, not many people in China eat it, that's because our ancestors left us so many good things."

After the steamed fish fillets were served, Da Liu and Xiao Mo quickly added braised pork with Shaoxing wine, sweet and sour spare ribs, cold purple seaweed salad, and steamed millet with egg and milk pumpkin. The table was soon filled with these dishes.

"Then, brother, I won't stand on ceremony."

Old Liu was the first to pick up a very thin slice of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to savor it. His expression changed immediately.
