The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 119

"You're back." Cheng Cheng's mother brought out the stir-fried dishes from the kitchen. Jing Yi looked at the shrimp in her hands and asked, "Auntie, have you already started cooking?"

Cheng Cheng's mother smiled and wiped her hands on her apron, "We just started, just stir-fried a few simple dishes."

Hearing the voices, Wen Qingyan also came out, smiling as he looked at the fish in Jing Zeqian's hands, "Looks like you had quite a catch."

Jing Zeqian put the fish in the kitchen, "Of course! Actually, we caught more than these, but we thought we couldn't eat them all and it would be wasteful, so we only brought back these few." Jing Yi glanced over, not exposing Jing Zeqian's boasting.

"Little Yin, I can handle the fish." Jing Yi walked into the kitchen and took over the fish from Wen Yin's hands.

Wen Yin had been the main chef for the past few meals, so Jing Yi felt a bit embarrassed to just be an assistant.

Wen Yin chatted with Jing Yi nearby, "Sister Jing Yi, which fish did you catch?" She proudly raised her chin, gesturing for Wen Yin to look at the big fish in the sink.

"Of course, it's that biggest one. Aren't I amazing?"

Wen Yin was indeed very supportive, showing a surprised expression, "You caught such a big one?! That's awesome!" Jing Yi looked even more proud.

Jing Zejun was helping Sister Lin prepare ingredients nearby and smiled when he overheard their conversation.

Jing Yi's behavior was exactly like Jing Zeqian's just now.

Sister Lin also looked over with a smile, "Yiyi is quite skilled." Jing Zejun lowered his head and chuckled softly, "She is indeed skilled." The truly skilled one was probably that old man.

At this moment, Jing Yi had already started processing the fish. Wen Yin watched her skillfully wielding the knife and cautiously asked, "Sister Jing Yi, do you want me to help you cut it?"

Jing Yi's gaze was still focused on the fish bones, and with another chop, she cut off another piece of bone, "No need, I can handle it myself."

[Haha, Little Yin, don't be afraid, your Sister Jing Yi is just chopping fish.]

[She's so quick and efficient, it's scared the child.]

[Wen Yin probably thought Jing Yi was fierce, but didn't expect her to be fierce enough to handle live fish!]

[The production team was indeed foresighted, immediately moving the camera away!]

Jing Yi planned to make boiled fish with two of the fish, but since Cheng Cheng's parents don't eat spicy food, she also prepared a tomato-flavored version.

The bones of the big fish were already prepared, and now all that was left was to slice the meat. Jing Yi cut the fish meat into slices and put them in a large bowl, adding salt and cooking wine to lightly mix and remove the fishy smell.

The wok was heating up with oil, and as the oil temperature gradually rose, Jing Yi quickly handed the fish slices to Wen Yin, "Little Yin, help me wash the fish meat and then marinate it." She needed to hurry and prepare the spicy base.

Jing Yi poured various seasonings like green onions, ginger, and chili base into the wok, which turned a fiery red color. The kitchen was immediately filled with a strong spicy aroma and a slightly pungent chili smell.

Thankfully, there was a range hood, otherwise, no one would be able to stay in the kitchen at this moment.

Jing Yi slightly adjusted the heat, put the fish bones into the wok, and added boiling water, letting the fish bones and base boil together.

After simmering, she removed the fish bones and added half of the marinated fish meat that Wen Yin had prepared. She lightly stirred it a few times to ensure even heating, while also adding the pre-cooked side dishes one by one into the wok.

The various ingredients cooked in the rolling water, emitting an enticing aroma, colorful and appetizing.

A few minutes later, Jing Yi carefully scooped out the boiled fish, while heating oil in another wok and adding Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers. The 'sizzle' of hot oil meeting spices filled the kitchen with the tempting aroma of boiled fish.

Jing Yi looked satisfyingly at the bright red boiled fish in front of her, "Alright! This can be served now, be careful, it's hot." Wen Yin, wearing oven mitts, carefully carried out the pot of boiled fish.

Looking at the remaining fish meat, Jing Yi lifted the wok again, "The rest will be tomato-flavored!" She took the peeled tomatoes from Jing Zejun and put them in the wok to simmer with the base to make a tomato soup base, then added the fish slices.

It was another perfect fusion of a different red soup and tender fish meat, making one's mouth water.

[It's been a long time since we've seen Jing Yiyi cooking, she's so skilled!]

[Her movements are so smooth and pleasing to watch.]

[Wow! As a tomato lover, I'm in love!]

[Only kids make choices! Adults want it all.]

On the other side, Sister Lin's chicken wings were also ready. Jing Zejun helped Jing Yi take off her apron, and they both sat back in their seats.

Once again, the table was full of dishes.

Jing Yi was still slightly affected by the cooking fumes and didn't have much appetite yet. Jing Zejun was pouring her some juice.

Sister Lin tasted Jing Yi's boiled fish and was amazed, "Yiyi, I didn't know you had such culinary skills!"

Jing Yi smiled, this dish was indeed her specialty, "It's nothing special, I don't know how to cook many dishes, just happen to know how to prepare fish." She turned to Cheng Cheng's parents, "Auntie, Uncle, since you don't eat spicy food, the tomato one is not spicy."

The family of three looked over, and Cheng Cheng's mother smiled, "Thank you, Yiyi. I just tried it, it's delicious!" Seeing the two different fish dishes, they knew Jing Yi had prepared them specially.

However, Cheng Cheng's mother was also curious. Jing Yi grew up abroad and was from North river, so how did she learn to make boiled fish?

She curiously asked, "Yiyi, how did you learn to make boiled fish?" Jing Yi looked up, slightly startled, as if she hadn't expected anyone to be curious about this.

The corners of her mouth turned up, her eyes full of nostalgia, "I had an elder who really liked it, so I gradually learned how to make it." The elder Jing Yi referred to was the grandmother from the orphanage, who was also Grandma Jing.

Aliali: 673582c5d72ede9349450a01At first, Jing Yi also found it strange that both grandmothers loved boiled fish. At an age when they should be eating light foods, they both had a particular fondness for boiled fish.

Jing Yi grew up abroad, and apart from Jing Beicheng and Lin Ruiqing, her only elder was Grandma Jing.

Jing Zeyou, noticing Jing Yi's expression, picked up a piece of fish for her and asked, "Did you cook your big fish too?" His question scattered Jing Yi's thoughts, pulling her out of her emotions.

"No! That's the one I caught with great effort, let it live another day!"

Jing Zeqian's mouth curved slightly, deliberately saying, "You only care about the one you caught? The ones my big brother and I caught have all become dishes!" Jing Yi immediately became smug, "Who told you that you can't cook? Besides, if you're so concerned about your fish, why are you eating with such a red mouth!"

This guy was both bad at cooking and loved eating. He had only eaten a few pieces, but his mouth was already red.

Jing Zeqian didn't really like spicy food, but Jing Yi's boiled fish was indeed very tasty. Hearing Jing Yi's words, he felt quite indignant.

"I'm eating to give you face. What if no one ate the dish you made? Wouldn't that be pitiful for you?"

Jing Yi didn't believe his nonsense, but this banter had given her an appetite.

Outside the window, night had fallen, and laughter could be heard from time to time from the villa.
