Little Ni Yun lay in her cradle nearby, holding a rattle and a little yellow duck, playing on her own, neither crying nor being troublesome, behaving very well.
The courtyard seemed incredibly warm and cozy.
The task of washing two hundred pounds of vegetables was time-consuming.
By the time Ni Yang finished washing and salting the vegetables, it was already past five in the afternoon, and the sun began its descent.
Ni Yang then started preparing dinner.
When she saw the green peas the boss had given her while buying vegetables earlier, she suddenly had an idea.
First she peeled off the peas, scooped up two ladles of glutinous rice, washed them, and soaked them in a casserole.
Then, Ni Yang found the cured meat she had bought a few days ago, cut them into pieces, and sauteed them in a pan. She then added green onions, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce to enhance the flavor, followed by adding the peas and stir-frying them together. Once they were about seventy percent cooked, she scooped the sauteed cured meat and peas into the casserole with the rice, and finally stove cooked it to make a rice casserole.
This is known as Cured Meat and Green Peas Casserole Rice, a variation of the traditional clay pot rice.
After the main course was prepared, Ni Yang began to prepare side dishes.
She pulled out the menu, tonight’s main dishes were: 1, Stir-Fried Spicy Bamboo Shoots.
“Compendium of Materia Medica” states, “Bamboo shoots are mainly used to quench thirst and benefit the urinary tract.”
Bamboo shoots can reduce intestinal cholesterol absorption, lower blood lipids, prevent constipation, and effectively eliminate waste and toxins from the body. They are excellent weight-loss foods that can effectively maintain perfect body shape.
They had eaten a lot of meat these past few days. It’s just right to have bamboo shoots to control body shape and prevent weight gain.
Beef Bone Marrow Stewed Egg.
The eggs were those sent by Panghu in the morning, and the beef bone marrow was from the big beef bones Ni Yang bought at the Vegetable Market yesterday, which were filled with marrow.
“Compendium of Materia Medica” states, “Beef bone marrow moisturizes the lungs, nourishes the kidneys, moisturizes the skin, and brightens the complexion.”
Therefore, beef bone marrow can effectively moisturize the skin.
After deciding on the two main dishes, she only needed to make a soup.
When she saw the tofu that Tie Dan’s mother had sent over, Ni Yang suddenly thought of Vegetable Tofu Soup.
Yes, she decided to make a Vegetable Tofu Soup. Ni Yang immediately rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.
The night gradually darkened, and the fragrance in the small kitchen became stronger.
In no time, the perfect set of two dishes and a soup was ready, and together with the glutinous rice cooked with cured meat and peas, there was more than enough for the three of them.
Due to the addition of cured meat and peas, the glutinous rice was very delicious. Biting into it, it was soft and sticky, and when you bit into a pea, there was a burst of flavor making it extremely delicious.
The Vegetable Tofu Soup balanced out the greasiness of the glutinous rice, so delicious it made one question life.
Ni Chenggui exclaimed, “Yangyang, how many delicious foods can you cook?” She felt that every dish Ni Yang cooked every day was different, and each dish was staggering in its taste.
Even a simple Vegetable Tofu Soup tasted extraordinarily delicious when Ni Yang cooked it.
Ni Yang just smiled, “Actually, I’m only cooking what I know how to cook.”
Ni Chenggui said, “Yangyang, I suspect you can cook a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, but I have no evidence.”
Ni Yang laughed lightly, “No, no, I just know a little bit more than most people.”
Ni Chenggui laughed and said, “Yangyang, you are just too modest.”
Ni Yang held up a piece of bamboo shoot, “Modesty is a virtue…”
Ni Cuihua jokingly said from the side, “Sister Chenggui, don’t praise this girl anymore. If you continue to praise her, her little tail will rise to the sky.”
After dinner, Ni Yang returned to her room and counted the money she had left.
Excluding the 25,4.00 yuan used to buy the shop, the 930 paid to the workers, and the everyday expenses of the last few days, she had 2550 yuan in total.
With 2550 yuan, besides not being able to buy big items like a fridge or a colour TV, she had more than enough to equip her business with the other necessities. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to make money at the moment, planning to spend this month on recuperation and recharge. When the new shop opens, there will be plenty to do!
Moreover, she did not expect to make a living solely from selling noodles.
Ni Yang has big ambitions, having lived for two lifetimes. She either does not do something, or does it to the best! She will blaze a trail and create a golden era that belongs to Ni Yang!
That night, Ni Yang probably had the best sleep since her rebirth.
She slept until past six in the morning, never getting up at three in the morning anymore, unlike her old routine when she had to get up to set up her stall.
Meanwhile.
Ni Dazhu and Liu Juan woke up early, and took a rare day off.
