Chapter 275: 099: A very happy New Year, a mysteriously strong and foolish tycoon_5
Ni Yang looked surprised, “Isn’t this a baby stroller?”
She didn’t expected that there were foldable strollers in this era!
Seeing this stroller gave Ni Yang a feeling of being back in her future life.
“Baby stroller?” Ni Cuihua looked puzzled.
Ni Yang explained, “A baby stroller is for children as big as Yunyun to sit in. You’ll understand once I assemble it.”
The packaging of the stroller had all French markings. This was obviously a stroller imported directly from F Country.
Imported goods were scarce at this time!
Even if you had money, you couldn’t get it. You needed foreign exchange coupons.
Even with foreign exchange coupons, you couldn’t necessarily buy the baby stroller from F Country. You had to rely on connections and find someone to get you one.
Ni Yang quickly assembled the stroller. “Mom, go bring Yunyun over to try it.”
“Okay.” Ni Cuihua nodded and went inside to fetch the baby.
Little Ni Yun was riding in such a luxury stroller for the first time. She was so excited that she burst into laughter. Ni Yang wanted to hold her, but she refused to get up.
This was the first time Ni Cuihua and Ni Chenggui had seen a luxury stroller like this. They were both amazed.
“The person who invented this stroller is really smart!”
“Wiry don’t we have this kind of brain?”
Ni Cuihua held Ni Yang’s hand and said, “Yangyang, you must thankXiaomo properly.”
“Yes, Mom, I know.” Ni Yang nodded.
Because it was New Year’s Day, they had a simple lunch. The focus was on the reunion dinner in the evening.
After eating lunch, Ni Yang went into the kitchen to prepare the reunion dinner.
Ni Cuihua and Ni Chenggui were both in the kitchen, ready to lend a hand.
The kitchen was filled with laughter, very lively.
Ni Cuihua cradled the baby and sat near the stove to make the fire. The flames were very vigorous. The fire shone on Ni Cuihua’s smiling face, her life was like this firewood, the more it burned, the more prosperous it got!
In Beijing, it was customary to offer dishes to the heavens and the earth on New Year’s Eve. Out of respect for the heavens and earth, it was important to prepare the tribute dish first.
There were six bowls of tribute dish in total.
The first three bowls were ‘Dragon and Phoenix Beads.’
The last three bowls were vegetarian dishes.
The so-called Dragon and Phoenix Beads were fish, rooster, and pork.
There were no specific requirements for vegetarian dishes, as long as they were entirely plant-based.
The chicken and the fish could not be cut, they had to be cooked whole, and there were six large pieces of fat meat.
Ni Yang was quick at her task. She quickly prepared the six tribute dishes and put them aside in a pot to keep them warm. Then she started preparing the dishes for the reunion dinner.
Since it was the New Year, fish and meat were a must.
They were tired of sour fish, grilled fish, and red-braised fish. So Ni Yang decided to cook a Squirrel Fish.
The Squirrel Fish was made from carp.
The rivers were not polluted during this era. The taste of the carp was very delicious, even better than the Yellow River carp.
The Squirrel Fish was a bit complicated.
First, Ni Yang removed the fishbone, then cut the fish into spikelets, rolled the fish in cornstarch, fried it in a pan until both sides were brown, stir-fried the seasoning in the pan, and finally poured the fried seasoning on the fish.
A dish of Squirrel Fish with attractive color, aroma, and taste was done.
The Squirrel Fish looked great, like a dish served at a state-owned restaurant.
Ni Chenggui was amazed, “Yangyang, you are truly amazing!”
Ni Yang laughed modestly.
After the Squirrel Fish, Ni Yang took out the marinated rooster and roasted it in the bread kiln.
Next, Ni Yang began making several small dishes.
Chives Fried with Shrimp.
Chives had a warming effect. In the middle of winter, eating chives could dispel external cold and relieve cold in women’s uterus.
Women tend to be more beautiful when they’re warm.
Braised Duck Feet with Quail Eggs.
Quail eggs contained high amounts of protein, lecithin, iron, and vitamins. They were nutritionally rich and perfect for nourishing lustrous black hair.
Beauty is from head to toe. It was not enough just to have a pretty face, the hair must also be glossy.
Braised Pig’s Feet with Soybeans.
Pig’s feet and soybeans were good for enhancing the breasts. In order to maintain a perfect bust, Ni Yang ate breast-enhancing foods almost every day.
Her efforts proved effective.
Every night when Ni Yang took a bath, she would marvel quietly. Thus, it was important to maintain.
Sweet and Sour Pork with Pineapple.
According to the “Compendium of Materia Medica”, pineapples could clear heat, promote digestion, reduce inflammation, and remove dampness. In addition, pineapples contained sugars, starch, protein, B vitamins, etc., which could prevent sagging buttocks.
