Chapter 1089: Treat Me to Cooking

The stewed ribs were crispy and fragrant. The meat had separated from the bones, and a light bite revealed a soft, glutinous texture. The flavour was perfectly balanced, with a hint of seaweed aroma.

“Not bad, it’s delicious,” Su Wen praised. “Your culinary skills are getting better and better. Whoever marries my third sister in the future will be blessed.”

Su Xiu beamed with pride, looking at Su Wen expectantly. “I knew you were returning today, so I went to the market to buy groceries. It’s a pity that the weather is cold now, and many vegetables aren’t available. If it were spring or summer, there would be plenty of fresh vegetables.”

“There’s already a lot. Can we finish all these dishes?”

“Brother-in-law had someone inform us that a friend will be visiting today. The second sister went to the braised food shop to buy a few dishes that go well with wine, some pig’s head meat, and a serving of old wine peanuts.” Su Xiu had been well-trained to be thoughtful when relatives came.

The food and wine were always impeccable.

Initially, Zhou Hengyang hadn’t considered inviting friends over as guests. But after Xu Xiaoxiao and He Changming visited when he was in Trinity Village, and Su Xiu prepared so well, he changed his mind. Now, when he wanted to treat his friends to a meal, he preferred to do it at home rather than at a restaurant.

“Whenever he informed you, he was thoughtful to do so in advance.”

“Brother-in-law has always been very thoughtful.”

Su Wen washed her hands and began cooking the mandarin fish. Steamed fresh mandarin fish was the perfect choice. Su Xiu had already cleaned the fish, so Su Wen cut it, added shredded ginger, and put it in the steamer. She prepared a sauce with steamed fish soy sauce, light soy sauce, and other seasonings. Once the fish was steamed, she poured the sauce over it and added hot oil.

While waiting, Su Wen and Su Xiu didn’t stay idle. Su Qing returned with the braised vegetables, and they arranged the dishes on plates, decorating them with radish flowers carved by Su Xiu, creating a beautiful presentation.

Su Wen made the last dish, fermented rice balls. The sisters enjoyed this dish, especially their little sister and sixth sister. Since the men drank slowly and could eat for two to three hours, the sisters ate first and left.

Brewing the riceball wasn’t difficult since the rice balls were already prepared from the market, which offered a richer variety than their hometown.

Su Xiu didn’t know how to cook this dish but had heard about it. Today, she bought the small rice balls because her little sister suggested it. Last week, Xu Pei took his two precious daughters to the provincial capital and treated them to many delicious foods. The little sister remembered one dish and asked the third sister to recreate it.

Since Su Wen was back today, she knew how to prepare it. The fermented riceball was common and almost every household made it.

“I can make sweet soup too,” Su Wen said.

The sisters’ eyes lit up at the mention of sweet soup. Su Qing, usually calm, couldn’t help but suggest, “Let’s make sweet soup tomorrow! We can bring it to the studio in a thermos. When we’re tired in the afternoon, a bowl of hot sweet soup will be perfect.”

“That’s a great idea.”

Sweet soup held fond memories for everyone. Su Xiu, Su Qing, and Su Wen remembered it from banquets during childhood. They would cut various fruits, add starch and white sugar, and boil everything in a big pot. It was simple to make, and children loved it.
