In an open area at the village entrance, there were some tables and stools filled with food. Although it was not a very expensive item, it was still a feast in the eyes of the villagers.
The golden roasted fat pigs, wild chickens, fish, radishes, green bamboo shoots, fans and cabbages filled the table.
Su Jin Se was wearing a coarse cloth apron and slicing a plate of exquisite fish. She sliced the fish very thin, and after selecting a thorn, she placed it on the plate, making it seem even more red and white, sparkling and translucent.
"Aiyo, Jinsi, what you're slicing is a piece of fish. How can it be so thin?"
Aunt Zhang was a village housewife. Usually, she would come to help during the village banquet, so she would cut a good dish. However, when she saw the fish as thin as a cicada's wing in Su Jinsi's hands, she was immediately shocked. Originally, she didn't believe in Su Jinsi's cooking skills, but since Old Man Su had been praising her and she didn't find a suitable cupboard, she could only give it a try. She didn't expect that the moment she finished handling all the ingredients, she knew that Su Jinsi had some skills!
"Auntie, I'll be fine soon!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up, the oil is already warm!"
The dish he was going to make today was originally Red Braised Fish, however, Su Jinsi felt that this dish was too ordinary, so she decided to convince Uncle Li to change this dish to a new dish. Uncle Li felt that what she said was reasonable, since it was all fish, she could give it a try if there was anything that could be made into a flower.
A large black pot was filled with steaming hot oil. Aunt Zhang saw that she was using all kinds of seasonings to mix the fish, such as pepper, hot pepper noodles, flour, sesame oil, and sweet potato powder. Since she could not find any raw powder, she could only use red potato powder to replace it.
She rolled up the fish pieces one by one with chopsticks and put them into a shed. Then she made a circle with the thin and sticky flour and threw it into the frying pan.
Instantly, flowers exploded in the wok as the fish rolled into a golden yellow color with a tender texture. In an instant, a rich fragrance filled his nose.
"Little girl, what are you calling a dish? It's quite fresh?"
Zhang Auntie had never seen it before. After slicing the fish into the thin of a cicada's wing, it could even wrap around a small fish roll made of flour that was golden in color.
Su Jin Se wiped off the sweat on her forehead, "Ah, this can be called a fish spring roll, but it can also be called one. I fall in love with it at first sight!"
"Falling in love at first sight?"
"Auntie, look, these pieces of fish were actually wrapped in a ball after being cooked in the wok, tightly wrapping around the smell of the fish. Isn't that what you'd like to do at first sight?" This wedding, if you use this dish, you can get something good! "
Aiyo, I've lived for so long, this is the first time I've heard of this dish. Little girl, auntie believes in your culinary skills now. Come, look at the menu.
Su Jin Se glanced at the dishes on the menu. They were all the simplest recipes. What a joke. As the descendant of a cupboard, it was a piece of cake for her to cook this rural Dam Banquet.
"Auntie, there's no need to look. I've already seen it, but today, I'm going to cook two fresh dishes for my host to win the prize!"
"New dish?" "Little girl, stop messing around. This master only wrote nine big bowls for you, he didn't ask for more food."
"Auntie, don't worry. I've already told Uncle Li about this. He agrees with me. I'll have to trouble you to bring me the radish!"
"What do you want radishes for?"
When she turned the unremarkable radish into a colorful sparrow that was flying high in the sky, Aunt Zhang's eyes widened. "Little girl, this is …"
"This is called Duo Fei of the Colourful Sparrows. Use this to embellish the remaining lentinus edodes and green vegetables together. Auntie, the host will definitely like it!"
The banquet started as planned, and all ten tables were filled with people. There were usually only nine dishes in the countryside: Red Braised Meat, Fried Asparagus, Stewed Pork, Red Braised Lion's Head, Tiger Skin and Green Pepper, Three Fresh Chicken Soup, Stewed Radish, and two other cold dishes, a pickled cucumber, a spicy fan, and two other dishes added by Su Jinsi.
The banquet continued all the way until dusk, and within the kitchen, Su Jin Se had finally finished the last dish. "Sis, Sis."
Not far away, Su Yu walked over with a limp. She looked at her happily, "Big sister, the food today is really delicious. Mother, everyone says that this was made by her daughter, Jinsi. I've never seen Mother so happy!"
Su Jin Se wiped her greasy hands, "Little Sis, have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, sister. Have you finished cooking?"
"Alright, I'll go home after my sister has eaten!"
"Jinsi, look who's here?"
Uncle Li, who had married his daughter, was very happy when he saw her. "Jinsi, it's been hard on you, I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve. You've really given Uncle a lot of face today. Come, this is his reward for you!"
He didn't expect that this old man Su's home would actually have a cupboard. Although she was a girl, those simple ingredients, after passing through her hands, became many delicious delicacies, those tasty and beautiful foods, making the relatives and guests think that he had invited a chef from the town to marry his daughter, he had earned enough face!
"Uncle Li, are you satisfied today?"
"Satisfied? Satisfied? Girl, why didn't I know you would cook so many dishes?"
The dishes she cooked were not any worse than the dishes in the restaurant in the city. He had a relative treat once and was fortunate enough to go to a restaurant to eat once, and he dared to say that the taste was not as good as today's, this Su family girl was also weird, since she was rescued from the river, she had changed her name, but now, even her name had changed. She was no longer called Xingyue?
"I …"
"Uncle Li, my sister has always been good at this!"
When Su Yu helped her, Uncle Li quickly gave her the silver, "Here, take it!"
"Uncle, didn't we agree on one tael?"
Uncle is very happy to marry his daughter today, and is very thankful for the dishes you cooked. This is an extra fifty grams as a reward.
As night fell, Su Jin Se, who had busied herself for the entire day, returned home to take a bath. She sat at the table and couldn't stop smiling. Her daughter, Jin Se, had really given her a lot of face today.
"Jinsi, you did well today. Daddy is proud of you."
