Tang Xingmi asked, "Aunt Wen, what kind of fish do you have at home right now?"
Aunt Wen opened the refrigerator, carefully inspected the ingredients, and replied, "Young Madam, we currently have carp, perch, and crucian carp."
Are these the only three types?
Aunt Wen said, "Yes, we only have these three kinds of fish right now. If you want any kind of fish, Madam, I'll call and have someone buy it and it will be delivered in a little while."
"It's alright, just do whatever comes up."
Tang Xingmi thought that crucian carp could be used to make soup, perch could be steamed, and carp could be braised.
"Okay." Aunt Wen took all three fish out of the refrigerator.
Tang Xingmi took it and prepared to wash it.
Aunt Wen said, "Young Madam, let me do the work of washing the fish."
Aunt Wen took the fish back into her hands. Washing fish is troublesome and dirty. How could the young mistress do such dirty work? Absolutely not.
Tang Xingmi said, "It's alright, Aunt Wen."
She used to doing this kind of work often.
But Aunt Wen wouldn't let her touch it, saying it was bad for the baby.
Is washing a fish bad for the baby?
Tang Xingmi didn't know, but she knew that Aunt Wen did this for her own good.
She couldn't win the argument, and Aunt Wen emerged victorious.
Aunt Wen held the fish and stood in front of the pool, carefully cleaning it.
Tang Xingmi went to the refrigerator, opened the door, glanced inside, and took out all the ingredients she would need later, placing them on the cabinet.
Just then, Aunt Wen came to her side with a basin in her hand. "Young Madam, the fish are ready."
Tang Xingmi accepted it with both hands, "Okay."
She wanted to make crucian carp soup first.
Take the cleaned crucian carp out of the basin, place it on the cutting board, and make diagonal cuts on it.
Aunt Wen stood to the side, looking at the young mistress who was so young, but she didn't expect her to be so capable when it came to work.
"Young Madam, I'll take these to wash."
Aunt Wen saw the ingredients on the cupboard and said.
"Mm." Tang Xingmi nodded and continued what she was doing.
After Tang Xingmi finished modifying the flower knife, Aunt Wen also cleaned all the ingredients to be used, came to her side, and handed them to Tang Xingmi.
With a swift motion, Tang Xingmi cut the tender tofu into evenly sized cubes and set them aside for later use.
Next, chop the ginger and scallions and put them on a plate.
Crucian carp requires relatively few ingredients, so it was prepared in no time.
Next, heat the oil in a wok.
At first, Aunt Wen was worried that the young mistress wouldn't know how.
I was about to step forward and lend a hand, but it turned out I was overthinking it.
The young mistress cooks so quickly, accurately, and skillfully—it's truly amazing!
Judging from her skillful technique, it would take several years of practice to reach this level.
For a girl her age to do this, it's already quite remarkable.
Aunt Wen developed a different opinion of Tang Xingmi and grew to like her more and more.
The fish in the pan was fried until golden brown and crispy. Tang Xingmi then added ginger slices, an appropriate amount of boiling water, and scallions, and brought it to a boil over high heat.
Using this time, she did some simple processing on the tofu to remove the beany smell.
When the fish is almost cooked, open the pot lid.
A rich aroma filled the kitchen, and the milky white broth bubbled and boiled in the pot.
This made Aunt Wen, who was standing to the side, feel her stomach rumble with cravings.
Aunt Wen couldn't help but exclaim, "It smells so good!"
"Once it's ready, I'll scoop a bowl for Aunt Wen to try," Tang Xingmi said with a smile.
"Really?"
She really gets to drink the crucian carp soup made by the young mistress herself!
That's great! (*^ワ^*)
It smells so good, it must taste even better!
Tang Xingmi smiled and said, "Mm."
Why not?
Seeing that it was almost time, Tang Xingmi added the tofu, some salt, goji berries, and a little pepper, simmered it for a while, and it was done.
