“Carp has high nutritional value, but it has a strong fishy smell, so it is more suitable to be braised. I can make three kinds of dishes: home-cooked, braised, and sweet and sour.”

“In addition to these three kinds, grass carp can also be made into boiled fish, pickled fish, smoked fish, and grass carp soup. But without pickled cabbage, pickled fish cannot be made.”

“Which kind do you want to eat?”

After everyone had left, Yi Qingqing planned to cook. The fish belonged to Yun Guyuan, and he wanted to learn how to cook, so naturally she wanted to ask his opinion.

“I want to eat them all.” Yun Guyuan said, “I’ll go fishing later. Can you teach me slowly? Let’s do it today.”

Yi Qingqing wanted to say that it was a different price, and she didn’t want to cook for others every day. However, considering that Yun Guyuan had helped her today, she didn’t agree or object.

But, she just said, “Then if you want to eat it again, you can prepare the fish when I teach you every week as agreed before.”

“Okay.” Yun Guyuan nodded, “I’ll light the fire for you.”

“Hey, wait a minute, these ingredients need to be handled well before they are put into the pot.” Yi Qingqing stopped him.

“You can cook the whole carp. In order to absorb the flavor, you can cut a few cuts on both sides of the fish body, then apply a little salt on the fish body and belly, and marinate it for a while.”

“We will make this carp for home cooking today. We also have green peppers picked from Aunt Guihua’s home.”

“As for the grass carp, since it is big, we may not be able to finish it in one meal today. We’ll make some fish head soup and fry the rest into smoked fish for you. It shouldn’t go bad if you leave it overnight, so you can still eat it tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Yun Guyuan stood beside Yi Qingqing and watched her movements carefully.

Although his intention was not very pure, he was serious about learning to cook. Because since she was such a good cook, she must be a good eater.

Yi Qingqing said as she cooked, “When washing the fish, the black film inside the belly must be removed, otherwise, the taste will be worse.”

“When making smoked fish, the fish body should be cut into sections and sprinkled with some flour. The most important thing is to prepare the sauce. My recipe is two spoons of soy sauce…”

“Let the sauce cool down before frying the fish and then add the sauce at the end.”

Yi Qingqing made the smoked fish first so that the oil left over from frying the fish could be reused to make home-cooked fried carp.

As for the fish head soup, she stewed it in a clay pot.

The staple food was cooked by Yun Guyuan on the stove in his own house because Yi Qingqing had used up a lot of oil and she couldn’t afford to spend money on anything else.

The aroma of fried fish aroused the appetite of many people in the educated youth point.

“It’s such a waste to use so much oil to cook two fish!” Liu Chunxing muttered, then thought of something, and asked Wang Lingling who was sitting beside her waiting for dinner.

“Lingling, our oil tank is empty. Didn’t you receive a letter from home when you went to the post office? Do you have any oil tickets?”

“Oil tickets? I don’t have any. My family just sent me a little money. They said that they couldn’t get so many oil tickets in a short time.” Wang Lingling said apologetically.

Liu Chunxing’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Didn’t Wang Lingling say her family was rich and powerful? How could she not even get tickets?

She wouldn’t have to follow her and eat for free, would she?

“What about the food tickets?”

“I do have some food tickets, but not much. Alas, Chunxing, I can only rely on you. Fortunately, your family loves you. They sent you a lot of things this time, right?”

“Don’t worry, my parents said that they will send me some next month. I will pay you back double then.”

“It’s all because of that hateful thief. Otherwise, the money and tickets my parents prepared for me can at least be used for more than three months!”

Wang Lingling said hatefully, but her eyes were looking at Liu Chunxing.
