At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

New Year's Eve is here, and everyone gets up early before dawn.

Those who cook cook, those who hang lanterns, those who put up New Year pictures, no one is idle.

The small courtyard looks even warmer against the backdrop of couplets and red lanterns.

After finishing the work in the yard, they started to prepare lunch. Those who could cook prepared the meals, and those who couldn't cooked added firewood.

As for Jinbao and the others, if they couldn't find anything to do, they would stay in the kitchen and watch, trying new dishes from time to time.

Hua Manxing looked at it and shook her head, "You guys, you are still eating secretly when you have grown so big. How will you eat later when you are full now?"

"Don't worry, godmother, no matter how much you make, I can still eat it. There will definitely be no leftovers."

Xiao Lin held a piece of chicken in his left hand and a cucumber in his right hand, and his mouth was full of oil.

"..."

Huamanxing: I forgot how much this kid eats. It seems I need to prepare some more food to avoid not having enough food later.

So he ignored them and continued busy with what he was doing.

"Mom, can I cook too?"

Jinbao thought that his appetite was not as good as Xiaolin's, so he stopped eating secretly and started to think about cooking.

"Whatever dish you want to cook, I'll teach you."

Hua Manxing did not refuse. It was a good thing to learn more skills so as not to go hungry when she was alone.

Jinbao blurted out without thinking, "Fish, I like to eat fish."

"Okay, mom will teach you how to make sweet and sour fish cubes. I learned this from your grandma. This is my best dish."

She knew that her daughter liked to eat fish the most, so when she was learning how to cook, she was particularly interested in cooking fish, so she also learned six or seven points of the truth.

With that said, he began to prepare the ingredients.

Jin Bao followed her and watched carefully, not daring to miss a step.

"Oh!"

I saw a clean big black fish lying on the chopping board, with its head chopped off.

Jin Bao unconsciously touched his neck and felt something cold.

Then the fish body is chopped into evenly sized pieces, and then placed in a basin with seasonings added.

"Mom, why do you still need to put eggs?"

Hua Manxing explained patiently: "Because we have to add dough powder later and add eggs so that the dough powder can be wrapped on the fish pieces and not fall apart."

In fact, she learned all of these at the Zheng family. This is her second time cooking.

Jin Bao nodded in understanding, and watched her add the dough and stir evenly, then he understood a little bit what was going on.

"Okay, let's marinate it for a stick of incense first. We'll pour the oil in first. After the oil is hot, we'll fry the fish pieces."

Hua Manxing rarely went into the kitchen, so he could only say a few words to her, and she could only let her figure out the rest.

After the fish pieces are marinated, the oil has been heated.

"When frying fish, you need to control the heat and don't fry it too old..."

Hua Manxing put the fish pieces into the oil pan, turned them over with chopsticks after they were slightly brown.

Jin Bao nodded while watching. One was teaching seriously and the other was studying seriously. The harmonious scene was unbearable to disturb.

After the fish pieces are fried and taken out of the pan.

Huamanxing found vinegar, sugar, and two tomatoes.

She blanched the tomatoes in boiling water, peeled them off and cut them into very small pieces. Then she put oil in a hot pan and stir-fried them.

After frying for a few times, add some salt to it until it becomes juicey, then add sugar and a little vinegar to it.

Then, pour the fried fish pieces in and continue to stir-fry.

Until the soup is almost dry, add chopped green garlic as a garnish.

"It's done. Ready to take it out of the pot. Do you want to smell it?"

Hua Manxing put the sweet and sour fish pieces on a plate, picked it up, and turned to look at her daughter.

Jin Bao swallowed and said, "It smells good. It looks delicious. I want to try it too."

"Of course, it's still early, and there are some fish pieces here. Come on, you can try making them."

Hua Manxing helped her put the ingredients away, cleaned the pot and stood aside to watch.

Xiao Lin and Zheng Jiacheng also gathered around. This was my sister's first time cooking, and they wanted to see clearly.

No matter whether it tastes good or bad later, they will definitely eat it cleanly.

Jin Bao took a deep breath, recalled Hua Manxing's steps just now, and started operating step by step.

The first time you do it, you will inevitably feel a little confused.

Hua Manxing watched quietly and did not disturb her. She still had to figure out cooking on her own first.

If she were to give advice at this time, she would only become more confused. If there were any deficiencies, it would not be too late to talk about them after they were done.

After all, once you are born again, you will be familiar again.

Soon, Jinbao’s sweet and sour fish nuggets were also out.

Overall it looks pretty good, just a little blurry.

"Let me have a taste."

"I want to taste it too."

Xiao Lin and Zheng Jiacheng had already prepared bowls and chopsticks, and both wanted to be the first to taste the dishes cooked by their sister.

Jin Bao put the plate on the table, "Be careful to burn it, and tell me what it tastes like after you finish it."

It was her first time cooking, and she didn't dare to be the first to start.

Xiao Lin and Zheng Jiacheng didn't have time to nod, so they picked up a piece of fish, put it into their bowls, and tasted it slowly.

As soon as he put it in his mouth, Xiao Lin praised it repeatedly: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. This is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten."

"Yeah, you're right, it's so delicious. Let's share this plate of fish pieces between the two of us."

After the two of them finished eating, they looked at the plates with unfinished thoughts and asked for Jin Bao's opinion.

Is it really that delicious? Could it be that she still had the talent for cooking? Why didn't she believe it?

"I'll taste a piece first and give it to you later."

Jin Bao picked up a pair of chopsticks and just put them on the fish pieces when he was stopped.

Seeing her impatient look, Zheng Jiacheng quickly stopped her, "Sister, you'd better not try it. This isn't enough for the two of us."

"You're right, you can eat what your godmother cooks. We want to eat what you cook." Xiao Lin also agreed.

No matter how you look at them, the appearance of the two of them seems to be hiding something.

"You two."

Hua Manxing nodded their heads helplessly and said, "If she doesn't let her taste it, she won't be able to discover her own shortcomings. Then she will fail every time in the future."

Everyone has to experience failure, and sometimes being too protective may not be a good thing.

"Godmother, actually my sister's cooking is really delicious, but it's a little salty." Xiao Lin gestured with his hands guiltily.

Hearing what he said, Jin Bao wanted to taste it even more, "I'll give it a try, otherwise I won't be able to control the saltiness if I make it next time."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

Xiaolin and Zheng Jiacheng saw that they couldn't stop it, so they couldn't bear to watch.

"Bah, bah, bah~"

After chewing twice, Jin Bao frowned and spat out the meat in his mouth.

It tastes terrible. It tastes terrible.

This is a little salty. It's obviously too salty and there's too much vinegar. The sour and salty taste makes it taste bitter in your mouth.

When she was making it, she thought that adding more seasonings would make the taste richer, but she didn't expect that it would be so unpalatable if it was too rich.

She didn't even know how her brothers managed to swallow it without expression just now.
