God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Lu Tingyan looked at Qingyu's departing back, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, then she turned around and went back home, her eyes gently falling on Su and Jun Moyuan in the yard.

"Mom, Brother Yuan, it's time for us to set off for the town." Lu Tingyan's voice was soft but firm. She gently took Su's hand and gave Jun Moyuan an encouraging look.

At this time, the sunlight is like fine golden silk, gently falling on every inch of land. The breeze blows gently, with the softness and comfort unique to early summer, gently swaying the treetops along the roadside. It seems that even the air has become soft, filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the simple and fresh fragrance deep in the soil, interweaving into an invisible pastoral poem.

Lu Tingyan, Su Shi and Jun Moyuan rode in an elegantly decorated carriage, slowly leaving the quiet manor and heading towards Fengxi Town. The sound of horse hooves was brisk and rhythmic, forming a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the surrounding environment, yet blending in inexplicably harmoniously.

As the carriage went deeper, the outline of Fengxi Town gradually became clearer, and the hustle and bustle of the town quietly entered my ears, like a tide gradually coming in. On both sides of the street, various shops were closely connected, and the colorful signs sparkled in the sun, attracting the attention of passers-by. The sounds of hawking, talking and laughing, and children playing intertwined, forming a lively and extraordinary market picture.

Lu Tingyan sat in the carriage, looking at everything curiously through the half-opened curtains. Her eyes were shining with excitement and curiosity, as if everything was so new and interesting. Su leaned beside her, with a gentle smile on her face, occasionally lowering her head to talk softly with Lu Tingyan, sharing past memories and experiences.

Jun Moyuan, on the other hand, sat in the front of the carriage, driving it. His eyes sometimes swept across the road ahead to ensure driving safety, and sometimes turned to the sides to admire the bustling city scene. He had a faint smile on his face, as if he had long been accustomed to all this, but he inadvertently revealed a bit of care and pampering for the people around him.

In this way, the three of them rode in a carriage, traveled through the bustling streets of Fengxi Town, and came to Ruyi Restaurant.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, Lu Tingyan saw a lively scene, with guests coming in an endless stream and laughing. She took a deep breath and encouraged herself secretly: "I must make the pickled fish very popular here!"

Shopkeeper Lin saw Lu Tingyan and the other two and stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically: "Madam, Mr. Lu, Miss Lu, you are here."

"Uncle Lin, do you have kimchi and fresh fish in the store?" Lu Tingyan said with a smile.

"Miss Lu, we have all these. Do you have any new ideas?" Shopkeeper Lin asked curiously.

"Well, today, we are planning to launch a new dish - pickled fish." Lu Tingyan answered confidently.

Hearing this unfamiliar name, the shopkeeper looked at them with some confusion and couldn't help asking, "Sour fish? What kind of dish is this? I've been in this town for so many years, but I've never heard of it."

Lu Tingyan smiled and explained patiently: "This dish is made with fresh and tender fish as the main ingredient, paired with sauerkraut and dogwood, and some seasonings. It has a very unique taste, sour and spicy, and leaves a lasting aftertaste." She introduced the method and characteristics of the sauerkraut fish in detail, as if she could already smell the tempting aroma.

As the shopkeeper listened to Lu Tingyan's description, a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes, but he still had some doubts: "Will this dish really be popular?" he asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lin, I believe everyone will like this dish." Lu Tingyan comforted the shopkeeper. She was confident in her creativity.

After that, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen, with unquestionable confidence and determination in her steps. Jun Moyuan and Su followed closely behind her. Shopkeeper Lin was curious about the characteristics of the pickled fish, and also walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was filled with aromas, and Chef Lin was concentrating on cooking delicious food. He suddenly heard footsteps coming, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Lu Tingyan, Su Shi, and Jun Moyuan walking in.

"Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu, Miss Lu!" Chef Lin greeted them warmly.

Lu Tingyan smiled and responded: "Uncle, please have someone prepare some kimchi and fish for us. I want to show you my cooking skills today. Please keep an eye on today's dish."

Chef Lin was a little surprised, but he did as he was told. Soon, the fish and kimchi were served on the table, and someone was recording the order.

"Today, we are going to make a dish of pickled fish. Mother will prepare the fish." Lu Tingyan said as she rolled up her sleeves and helped, while Su began to prepare the fish meat skillfully. She first removed the scales, internal organs, and bones of the fish, and then sliced ​​it into thin slices. Her skillful movements were amazing.

"Marinating the fish fillet is one of the keys to this dish." Lu Tingyan carefully instructed, her voice soft and clear, and she explained every step in detail. Under her command, the chefs fully mixed the fish fillet with the special marinade, allowing the fish fillet to gradually absorb the essence of various seasonings during the marinating process, making it more delicious and tasty.

"As for the pickled cabbage, it is the soul of the whole dish." Lu Tingyan's eyes were full of respect and love for the ingredients. She personally selected the purest pickled cabbage and asked Su to chop it up. Then, turmeric slices, garlic cloves and other seasonings were added to the pot one by one and stir-fried with the pickled cabbage. In an instant, a strong sour aroma filled the entire kitchen, making people take a deep breath, as if they had already foreseen the deliciousness of this dish.

When the pickled cabbage was fried until golden and crispy, and the aroma was fragrant, Lu Tingyan instructed Su to add water. As the water temperature gradually increased, the whole kitchen was filled with a warm and attractive atmosphere. When the water boiled, it was the best time to put the fish fillets into the pot. Lu Tingyan demonstrated in person, gently sliding the fish fillets into the pot one by one. The fish fillets quickly changed color in the boiling soup, intertwined with the pickled cabbage, forming a colorful and fragrant picture.

"The fire is ready, and the food is ready." Lu Tingyan's words were full of anticipation and satisfaction. She looked at the pickled fish in the pot, her eyes flashing with satisfaction. Su picked up a large spoon and gently stirred the food in the pot, ensuring that every piece of fish fillet could fully absorb the essence of the soup. Then, they put the pickled fish, which was delicious and fragrant, into a large plate, sprinkled it with green chopped green onions and coriander as garnish, and then poured a spoonful of boiling hot oil on it. With a crisp "sizzle" sound, the aroma instantly spread, filling the entire kitchen and even the entire inn, attracting everyone to stop and salivate.

Lu Tingyan brought the cooked pickled fish to the table and said to everyone with a smile: "Uncles, please try it." Her voice was gentle and kind, like a spring breeze blowing past everyone's ears.

Shopkeeper Lin and several others picked up their chopsticks and carefully picked up a piece of fish fillet and put it into their mouths. In an instant, their taste buds were surrounded by the rich and fresh fragrance, and every cell in their body was immersed in the enjoyment of the food.

Shopkeeper Lin savored the dish carefully, a satisfied smile on his face, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This tastes really good!" There was a hint of surprise in his tone, and it was obvious that he approved of the taste of this dish very much.

Chef Lin couldn't wait to pick up the second piece of fish fillet, and praised it while tasting it: "Wonderful! The fish fillet is smooth and refreshing, and the sour cabbage is sour and fragrant, which perfectly blends with the freshness of the fish meat. It is really a rare delicacy!" His eyes revealed his admiration for Lu Tingyan's cooking skills. Lu Tingyan smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, you can let the guests taste it. If the guests like it, you can serve this dish today."

Shopkeeper Lin nodded with satisfaction, and he told his staff to bring the freshly prepared pickled fish to some diners, inviting them to taste it for free. Most of these diners were regular customers of the restaurant, and their evaluation of the dishes was always objective and fair.

When the waiters put the steaming and fragrant pickled fish on the table, the guests showed surprise and curiosity. They couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of snow-white fish meat and put it in their mouths, chewing and savoring it carefully.

"Wow, this pickled fish tastes really good!" a guest praised: "It's sour and spicy, and the fish is very tender and melts in your mouth."

Another customer added: “The spicy taste is really unique and makes the dish even more delicious.”

Another guest said: "I have never eaten such delicious pickled fish, it is really unforgettable!"

The guests ate and praised the food, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Lu Tingyan, Shopkeeper Lin and Chef Lin stood aside, watching the guests eating with gusto, their hearts were filled with joy. They knew that their efforts had paid off and the dish was a success.

The shopkeeper was also very satisfied with the dish. He smiled and said to Lu Tingyan, "Miss Lu, once this dish is launched, it will surely make the restaurant popular again."
