The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

She scooped out the fried small yellow croaker with a colander and placed it on kitchen paper to drain excess oil.

"Sister, the small yellow croaker smells so good!" Wang Lin smelled the aroma and couldn't help but praise.

Shen Yan smiled and nodded, placing the fried small yellow croaker on a large plate. The tempting aroma from the fish filled the entire kitchen. "Quick, go and ask your brothers to try it and see if they will be surprised."

After hearing this, Wang Lin immediately ran out happily to inform Wang Jun and the others, while Shen Yan continued to be busy preparing more delicious food for her family.

The aroma of fried fish filled the entire courtyard. Wang Jun couldn't help but run over and picked up a fish and put it in his mouth, "Mm, it smells so good!"

"How is it? I need to fry it again. It will be more fragrant after it's done."

As she spoke, Shen Yan took the small fried fish in front of Wang Jun away and prepared to pour it into the pan to fry it again later.

Shen Yan placed the re-fried small yellow croaker aside and waited. She re-poured an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot and waited for the oil temperature to gradually rise.

After the small yellow croaker was put back into the pot, oil splashed everywhere and made crackling sounds.

Shen Yan used a spatula to gently turn the fish over to ensure that they were evenly heated and golden in color.

She carefully observed the changes in the fish body. When the fish skin became golden and crispy and emitted an enticing aroma, Shen Yan used a colander to scoop out the fried small yellow croaker and placed it on kitchen paper to drain excess oil.

"Jun'er, try it again. It should be crispier this time."

Shen Yan enthusiastically brought the fried small yellow croaker to Wang Jun.

Wang Jun took a small yellow croaker and took a bite. The fish skin was crispy and the fish meat was tender, making it even more delicious.

"Sister, it really smells better this time!"

After hearing Wang Jun's praise, Shen Yan smiled with satisfaction and felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

"Don't just worry about eating. Go and clean up the main room. When your parents and your brother-in-law come back, our family will have the New Year's Eve dinner in the main room." Shen Yan said to Wang Jun.

Wang Jun nodded, went to the main room, and began to prepare the round table, benches, etc.

While thinking about the reunion scene in the evening, Wang Jun quickly cleaned up the main room. He sorted out the sundries on the side, wiped the table and chairs, and made sure everything was clean and tidy.

Then he took out a large round table, wiped the dust off the surface, and placed the legs firmly on the ground.

After all, Wang Jun is still a boy.

It is not difficult for one person to move a table.

Then, he began to set the tableware. His entire family, including his parents, were a total of bandits.

He arranged the bowls, chopsticks, plates, etc. neatly, preparing for the dinner.

Wang Jun turned around to get a few sturdy stools and placed them around the table to make sure everyone had enough seats. He was nervous but excited because this was the annual family reunion and he wanted everything to be perfect.

After the main room was neatly arranged, Wang Jun stood aside and looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.

On the other side, Shen Yan was still cooking. After finishing several main dishes, the following vegetarian dishes and soup would not take much effort.

Next, Shen Yan began to prepare the pickled cabbage.

Shen Yan took out the fresh cabbage, removed the outer leaves, and then cut the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

She rinsed the cabbage in clean water to make sure it was clean, then drained it and set aside.

She poured out all the oil in the pot, and started to light a fire with the remaining oil base, waiting for the oil temperature to rise to the appropriate temperature for cooking.

Then she added the chopped cabbage and stir-fried it gently to allow the cabbage to be cooked evenly.

After the cabbage becomes slightly soft, Shen Yan adds an appropriate amount of salt and a little sugar to season and enhance the flavor.

She kept stirring with a spatula to make sure the seasoning was evenly coated on the cabbage.

Then, Shen Yan poured in an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and let the cabbage simmer for a while to make it more tender and delicious.

During the simmering process, she occasionally lifted the lid of the pot and stirred gently with a spoon to allow the seasoning to evenly penetrate the cabbage.

When the cabbage becomes translucent and is cooked, Shen Yan takes out a small bowl, pours an appropriate amount of vinegar into the bowl, then adds some water starch, stirs it evenly into a dilute vinegar water for later use.

Finally, Shen Yan poured the diluted vinegar water evenly on the stewed cabbage, and then gently mixed it with a spoon, so that the cabbage was evenly coated with the vinegar juice, exuding an attractive sweet and sour aroma.

A dish of pickled cabbage with attractive color and fresh taste is ready.

Shen Yan put it into a large bowl and sprinkled some chopped green onions on it as decoration to add beauty.

"Lin'er, come and try the pickled cabbage with vinegar that my sister made." Shen Yan smiled and invited Wang Lin to taste her new dish.

Wang Lin came over after hearing this, picked up a piece of cabbage and tasted it, exclaiming with satisfaction, "Sister, it's delicious! It's sour and sweet, very appetizing."

Shen Yan smiled contentedly when she heard Wang Lin's praise. She knew that this pickled cabbage would add a delicious dish to the dinner.

But this was not enough. The pork belly bought two days ago had not been eaten yet, and Shen Yan was also preparing to make a dish of pork stewed with vermicelli. It happened that she went to the town to buy vermicelli a few days ago.

Shen Yan prepared fresh pork, cleaned it thoroughly, and then put it in a large bowl and soaked it in a suitable amount of clean water to remove the blood and odor. She then rinsed the pig's head repeatedly with clean water until the water became clear.

Then, Shen Yan put the cleaned pig head into the pot, added enough water, some cooking wine and ginger slices, and boiled it over high heat. A fresh and fragrant pork smell spread throughout the kitchen, making people salivate.

After the water boils, Shen Yan skims off the foam on the surface, then turns the heat to medium-low, covers the pot, and slowly stews the pig's head, allowing its delicious meat to be cooked slowly.

While the food is cooking, Shen Yan prepares vermicelli. She uses high-quality handmade vermicelli, soaks it in warm water to soften it, and then drains it for later use.

During the stewing process, Shen Yan would open the lid of the pot from time to time, scoop up the rich soup in the pot with a spoon, and pour it on the pig's head to make the meat more tender.

When the pork is almost cooked, Shen Yan adds appropriate amount of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, etc. to adjust the taste.

Then, she evenly put the softened vermicelli into the pot, allowing it to fully absorb the delicious soup from the pig's head, and simmered for a while until the vermicelli was cooked.

Finally, Shen Yan took out a large bowl, put the stewed pork and vermicelli into the bowl, poured rich soup on it, and sprinkled some green onions and coriander for garnish.

A delicious dish of pork stewed with vermicelli is ready.

"Jun'er, Lin'er, come and try the pork stewed with vermicelli made by my sister." Shen Yan smiled and invited Wang Lin to taste her new dish.

Wang Lin came over upon hearing that, took a spoonful of the stew and took a sip. The delicious soup and soft and glutinous vermicelli made her feel delicious on the tip of her tongue.
