“Yangyang, what’s in this basket?” Ni Chenggui curiously bent over to look.
Ni Cuihua walked over from the side and laughed, “This is the Sour Plum Soup that our Yangyang made this afternoon.”
Sour Plum Soup?
Ni Chenggui’s eyes lit up and she exclaimed with surprise, “Yangyang knows how to make Sour Plum Soup?”
Beverages are quite expensive at this time, a regular soda sells for one to two yuan a bottle, not to mention the handmade Sour Plum Soup.
During a work banquet, Ni Chenggui once had Sour Plum Soup.
It was sour and sweet, refreshing and grease-cutting. The taste was indescribably delicious!
Drinking it in the summer was like a taste of paradise, you just couldn’t get enough.
Just thinking about it made Ni Chenggui uncontrollably swallow her saliva.
Ni Yang laughed, “This is my first time making it, I don’t know if it will taste good.”
“Yangyang, don’t be humble. Does anything you make taste bad?”
Ni Cuihua said, “Sister Chenggui, don’t flatter Yangyang. What if it doesn’t taste good this time?”
Ni Chenggui replied, “There’s nothing that our Yangyang has made that hasn’t tasted good.”
Ni Yang moved the glass jar into the living room.
The glass jar was 5L in size, capable of holding ten kilograms of water. At this moment, it was filled with purple-red Sour Plum Soup, reflecting inviting circles of light under the warm yellow lamp.
It looked just like aged wine.
“This Sour Plum Soup has such a beautiful color!” Ni Cuihua couldn’t help but exclaim.
Ni Chenggui replied, “Yangyang’s mom, this Sour Plum Soup not only looks good, but its taste is also exceptional!”
Ni Yang brought three glass cups and poured a full cup for both Ni Cuihua and Ni Chenggui.
“Mom, Auntie Ni, you try first.” Ni Yang looked at them expectantly.
“I don’t need to try it to know that it tastes good.” Ni Chenggui said as she picked up the cup and took a sip.
The air seemed to quieten.
Ni Yang and Ni Cuihua were both watching Ni Chenggui, afraid to miss any change in her facial expression.
However, Ni Chenggui’s face didn’t reveal anything special.
She looked very calm.
As if she was drinking plain water.
“Chenggui, how’s the taste?” Ni Cuihua asked nervously.
Ni Yang was also a bit apprehensive.
Was she feeling uneasy because she hadn’t cooked for so many years, and her skills may have deteriorated?
Ni Chenggui frowned slightly, “Actually, the taste is ordinary…”
Ordinary…
Before Ni Yang could feel disappointed, Ni Chenggui suddenly changed her expression and exclaimed, “The taste is extraordinarily good! It tastes much better than what I’ve drunk before! Yangyang’s Mom, you must try it!”
Hearing this, Ni Yang looked at Ni Chenggui surprisingly, it was obviously unexpected, what a turn of events!
Ni Cuihua immediately picked up her cup and took a sip, and her face was filled with surprise, “It’s delicious! Yangyang, it’s really too delicious! Even better than sugary water!”
She had never tasted anything so delicious in her entire life!
Ni Chenggui laughed, “I told you, the things made by our Yangyang, how could it not taste good?”
Ni Yang scooped herself a cup and took a small sip.
Mmm.
There was a faint taste of Osmanthus Flower as the soup entered the mouth, followed by a light sour and sweet flavor that spread across the tongue.
It made her mouth water.
The chilled feeling made every pore in her body open.
It felt like turning on air conditioning.
It was very refreshing.
She couldn’t help but want to take a second sip, a third, a fourth…
Ni Chenggui asked, “Yangyang, how did you make this Sour Plum Soup?”
The ingredients for Sour Plum Soup should be hard to buy. She wondered how a young girl like Ni Yang knew so much!
She was really amazing.
Ni Yang explained, “I saw it on a cooking recipe and then went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Store to buy some Dark Plum Hawthorn and other main ingredients. I didn’t expect to succeed by sheer luck.”
Of course, the pre-mixed Sour Plum Soup ingredients were hard to buy. But Ni Yang, in her previous life, worked in the catering industry. She didn’t need to buy those pre-mixed ones from the market. Furthermore, the ones sold in the market all taste the same.
Nobody could imitate her self-balanced ingredients.
Ni Chenggui exclaimed, “Yangyang, you’re really smart. Even if 1 spent ten days looking at it, I couldn’t learn.”
She is typically someone who can learn by looking at it, but always fails when actually doing it.
“Also, the dishes you cook are delicious too! They taste a hundred times better than those from big restaurants! Yangyang, whoever marries you in the future would be as lucky as winning the lottery!”
