“So, paying a high price to buy it out is actually not worthwhile,” Cai Xiaolian continued.
"How about this, from now on, whenever your family comes up with something new to eat, even if it's just a simple dish, we'll pay for it," Manager Cheng insisted.
Cai Xiaolian raised an eyebrow. These conditions are a bit too much!
"Other fresh dishes? Uncle Cheng, do you have any offal dishes in your shop?" Gu Xin asked, a sudden inspiration striking her.
"Offal?" Manager Cheng was taken aback, then looked somewhat disgusted. "My little niece, offal doesn't taste good. City people don't eat that stuff."
"What if we could make it taste really good? Would you buy it then?" Gu Xin asked again.
The three time travelers looked at Gu Xin with great pride. "Look how clever this girl is! She's already thought of something else."
As expected of my daughter (sister)!
"Of course, if it tastes good, I'll definitely buy it. But little niece, if it doesn't taste good, we can't force you to eat it." Seeing that the Gu family elders didn't stop the little girl from speaking, Manager Cheng could only grit his teeth and answer.
"Father, Mother, Sister!" Gu Xin looked at the three of them with bright eyes, her meaning couldn't be clearer.
"Manager Cheng, you've saved us a trip today, saving us time. Why don't you try some of the new dishes my eldest daughter has made? Try them first, and if you like them, we can talk more," Cai Xiaolian said immediately, without mentioning the pickled chili peppers.
"Dad, Mom, then Xin Xin and I will go prepare." Gu Nian got up, and then pulled Gu Xin to the kitchen.
"Sister, sister, aren't I clever! I immediately thought of glutinous rice sausage." Gu Xin held Gu Nian's hand and went into the kitchen, looking for praise.
"That's right! You're our little rascal! Help with the fire so your older sister can show off her cooking skills." Gu Nian pinched Gu Xin's cheek and laughed.
"Okay!" Gu Xin went to get her apron and tied it on. She was wearing clean clothes today, so she didn't want to get them dirty.
Gu Nian still made pan-fried glutinous rice sausage, steamed glutinous rice sausage, and also stir-fried pork belly strips.
I also made a bowl of fried rice with eggs, wild onions, and leftover rice. I had originally planned to use the leftover rice to make fried rice when I got home that evening, but it was just right for now.
Worried that Manager Cheng might choke on the food, she also cooked a white radish soup, a clear broth.
The amount used was small, just enough for Manager Cheng alone, so it was served quite quickly.
Once the radishes are cooked, everything else is ready.
Their stove has three pots, and as long as Gu Xin can keep the fire burning, Gu Nian's movements will definitely be able to keep up.
Soon, Gu Nian carried the tray into the main room.
"Uncle Cheng, would you like to try?" Gu Nian placed the tray on the table. The tray contained only a few small bowls, enough for one person.
Manager Cheng held his chopsticks, only smelling the aroma of the food, completely unable to associate this delicious dish with offal.
"Old Cheng, give it a try, I'm absolutely not lying to you!" Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
He used to resist eating food made from pig farms. There were two little voices fighting inside him: one was determined not to eat it because he subconsciously felt that this stuff was inedible, and the other was determined to eat it because he had to save face for his daughter!
The result is, mmm, it's really delicious!
Manager Cheng first picked up a piece of radish to moisten his mouth, then ate a spoonful of cooked rice. Mmm, delicious.
Only then did I take food from the other three bowls.
I originally just wanted to give them face, but I ended up having the same thought as Gu Shouxin before – it's actually quite nice.
