Chapter 116 Trying Something New



"No, no, no! We have pig liver, how about we add another dish tonight?"

Dingxiang is definitely a foodie; she loves all kinds of delicious food, but she also misses Sichuan cuisine.

"So, what dish do you want to make?" Lin Siqi found it amusing to see Dingxiang's eyes light up.

With her like this, I thought she had never had enough to eat back in Lingbei.

But in reality, although Dingxiang has a carefree personality, she is extremely serious when she is working.

When she first arrived, she didn't earn enough work points to feed herself.

But last year, in addition to her own food rations, she also received a lot of money.

"I really want to eat stir-fried pork liver with pickled peppers, Siqi, do you know how?"

Although she knew that Lin Siqi was from Beijing, the way she cooked food was different from that in Sichuan Province.

But since she cooks so well, she must be very skillful, so it's possible she can make this dish too.

In her previous life, Lin Siqi made her fortune by running a restaurant, and the dishes she initially cooked were all in the northern style.

But as her business expanded, she also introduced dishes from other places.

And Sichuan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines of China, how could she not know it?

However, in this life, she hasn't had that many experiences yet, so naturally she can't let people know that she can cook black moss from other places.

"This is Sichuan cuisine? I don't know how to cook it." Lin Siqi looked embarrassed, making Ding Xiang feel a little ashamed.

"Hehe, it's okay, I know how to make it, why don't I do it?"

Lin Siqi is originally from Beijing, so it was really difficult for her to cook Sichuan cuisine.

Although her cooking skills aren't great, she can still make this dish.

However, her skill level is only good enough to make home-style dishes, which may not be very delicious.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Siqi realized that this dish was indeed not difficult to make, so she decided to let Dingxiang cook it.

"Okay, then you can handle the pig liver yourself. I'll go make the other dishes first. Once my dishes are ready, you can show us your skills."

Dingxiang carefully took the pig liver and began washing it by the well.

Zhuang Xue was instructed by her to take the pickled peppers and pickled vegetables out of the jar.

As soon as the jar lid was lifted, the people in the kitchen smelled a sour and salty odor.

Although the flavor is not strong, it is not the kind of aroma that will instantly intoxicate you.

But it was precisely this taste that made them feel their mouths water.

"The kimchi is ready? It smells really tempting."

Xu Ji and Ding Xiang were supposed to cook today, but everyone wanted to have a nice meal together tonight.

So everyone wanted Lin Siqi to cook, and the others would help out.

Everyone had been making preparations as Lin Siqi had instructed.

And Xu Ji is the one who was entrusted with the important task of starting the fire today.

He stayed by the stove watching the fire, and rushed out as soon as he smelled the aroma.

"I heard from Dingxiang that the kimchi is ready to eat. She said it can be eaten directly or stir-fried."

Zhuang Xue and the others didn't know much about Sichuan pickled vegetables, so they just followed Ding Xiang's instructions.

"Shall we make some tonight?" He wanted to taste the fresh vegetables.

Zhuang Xue only used chopsticks to scoop out the pickled peppers and pickled vegetables that Dingxiang needed from the jar, without taking any more.

She put the lid on the jar and then chopped the ingredients on the cutting board next to her.

"Today, Dingxiang is going to make stir-fried pork liver with pickled peppers. Tomorrow, let's just eat pickled vegetables."

She had previously heard Dingxiang say that kimchi is a type of pickled vegetable that goes well with rice.

Since we've already decided to stir-fry it tonight, there's no need to make another plate.

Xu Ji wanted to try it, but was unexpectedly refused.

However, this did not deter his desire to try something new. He reached out and picked up some shredded kimchi from the cutting board and popped it into his mouth.

"Hey, really, this looks pretty salty!"

Zhuang Xue really thought this person was a real handful; how could he just sneakily steal food!

Xu Ji, who had finally gotten his wish to try something new, was not as happy as Zhuang Xue at this moment.

His expression instantly twisted, as if he had eaten a bitter pill, his face contorted in pain.

He thought the kimchi smelled delicious, which is why he wanted to try it.

Who would have thought that such a small amount of kimchi could be so salty? It's almost as salty as eating salt yourself.

He quickly picked up a bowl from the cupboard, scooped up a bowl of water, and drank it.

"Sister Xue, why is this so salty? Is it edible?"

Xu Ji felt that his tongue was so stimulated that he could hardly taste anything.

He strongly suspected that Dingxiang didn't know how to make kimchi at all, which was why it tasted so bad.

"Hmm, I don't know what pickled vegetables from Sichuan Province are like."

Zhuang Xue had never tasted Sichuan pickled vegetables before, so naturally she didn't know what they were supposed to taste like.

"Actually, it tastes alright. Why don't you two try it?" Xu Ji desperately needed someone else to share his pain so he could feel better.

Lin Siqi and Zhuang Xue rolled their eyes at him simultaneously. "Do you think we're stupid?"

Lin Siqi already knew that kimchi was very salty, and that people from Sichuan province found it very appetizing, so she had no intention of trying it now.

Zhuang Xue didn't know what this tasted like before, so she didn't want to try it.

Moreover, now that we've seen Xu Ji's performance after trying it, would she let herself be taken advantage of?

Seeing that the two weren't taking the bait at all, he came up with another great idea to prank them.

"Tell me, if I say this kimchi is delicious now, how many people will take the bait?"

Lin Siqi and her companion really didn't want to participate in such a childish game; they both thought that no one would fall for it.

Seeing this, Xu Ji still insisted on making it happen, since he figured he wouldn't lose anything by trying.
