Chapter 154 Yixian
Yixian is beautiful and elegant in cheongsam.
Wearing a white apron on the front of her cheongsam, Yixian, who was busy preparing food, was gentle, virtuous, and a beautiful cook.
The reason why Su Xia talked to Pinghai and Ninghai Yixian last was that he wanted to talk to Pinghai and Ninghai first, so as to prevent the two sisters from misunderstanding that he looked down on them and then running to Yixian and staying there.
When Su Xia came to Yixian, she had already prepared various ingredients and put them in various bowls. She took a fish out of the fish tank in the corner of the kitchen and put it on the chopping board. Then she took the knife and hit the fish's head hard. The fish, which was originally jumping around, immediately stopped moving.
"That's a mandarin fish," said Su Xia.
He doesn't like fishing, but his father likes fishing. He often goes to the reservoir near his hometown to fish for mandarin fish. Mandarin fish is a wild fish that can be caught in any way. It tastes good and is sold at a high price. Therefore, he recognizes mandarin fish and many other fish.
"Yes, mandarin fish." Yixian paused, "The admiral actually recognized it."
"What's so strange about recognizing a mandarin fish?" Su Xia said as a matter of course. She wanted to show off, but she held back. Isn't Yixian a little loli? Showing off in front of her is like showing off in front of Guan Gong.
“Admiral, you don’t know how many people in the garrison only know about fish and can’t tell the difference between carp, grass carp, crucian carp, and silver carp…” Yixian smiled.
Freshwater fish look similar, but marine fish are relatively different. For example, tuna is very large and flounder is particularly special.
"It's okay to not be able to tell the difference between fish. I've seen many people who don't even know what sesame greens are..." Su Xia laughed, "Actually... I know what fish is, but I often don't know what vegetables are. I often can't tell lettuce leaves from sesame greens. Now I don't even know what spinach looks like."
"I can't even tell the difference between the dishes... Will Yixian think I'm lame?" Su Xia asked, looking at the ingredients Yixian prepared. Are those white powders starch or cornstarch? What's the difference in their functions? Cornstarch seems to enhance the flavor, and what about starch?
"It's nothing to be ashamed of." Yixian said, "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I'm still not very good at typing on the computer. I can't tell the difference between hardware and software, and I can't figure out those computer accessories."
"That's true." Su Xia said. He was just joking and didn't feel ashamed of not being able to tell so many vegetables apart. He just laughed it off.
As Yixian spoke, he continued to move, removing the scales and gills of the mandarin fish, cutting open the belly, removing the internal organs and cleaning it. He held down the fish body and cut off the fish head. He held down the fish body again and used a knife to slice the fish meat along the bones, turned it over and sliced another piece of fish meat, and used a slanting knife to cut it into flower-shaped pieces.
"Yixian, you are making squirrel mandarin fish, right?" Su Xia asked.
"Could it be possible that the Admiral can also cook squirrel mandarin fish?" Yixian was really surprised. Squirrel mandarin fish is not a home-cooked dish, and it cannot be made without a certain level of skill. She thought for a while, "Well, yes... L20 said she wanted to eat squirrel mandarin fish, and I agreed to her, so it can only be squirrel mandarin fish."
"I guessed it because I knew L20 ordered squirrel mandarin fish." Su Xia said, "I know you made squirrel mandarin fish because I know how to make it. But I know it, but I have never made it. I just saw someone make it online."
"Online?" Yixian didn't like the Internet, so there wasn't even a computer in his room. But as a person living in a modern society, he wasn't that ignorant. "Watching people's cooking videos online?"
"Is Yixian watching it too?" Su Xia said, "I'm mainly looking at the wide oil warning."
Compared to those cooking videos where the camera moves around, first taking a picture of the cat, then the scenery, then the raindrops floating on the window, and finally the food, Su Xia still prefers those simple, rough cooking videos that only take a few minutes to make, tell you everything, and the camera is fixed in the kitchen.
"Allow oil warning? What is that?" Yixian shook his head, "I don't watch cooking videos."
"That's understandable. Think about it." Su Xia said, "With Yixian's cooking skills being so high, do we still need to watch other people's videos? He should make a video. Well, if Yixian is willing to make a video, with Yixian's looks and cooking skills, he will definitely capture a lot of viewers at once."
"Has Yixian ever thought about making a video?" Su Xia suddenly became interested.
"No." Yixian refused without even thinking about it.
"Don't want to show your face?" Su Xia was sure that Yixian had that idea. "Think about it, if Yixian didn't want to show her face and body, it would be hard to attract people. If she showed her face and body, it would become a sex show. And there are a lot of messy people on the Internet."
Su Xia admitted that he was also such a person. He had no interest in seeing a girl playing the piano. But when a girl showed off her hot body and played the piano, he immediately became interested.
"It's just right that Yixian doesn't want to." Su Xia said, "Otherwise I don't know what to do, whether I should support Yixian or not."
"Why wouldn't Yixian want to just do it?" Yixian heated the oil, dipped the cut mandarin fish in starch, and slowly put it into the pan by the tail of the mandarin fish.
"What do you mean?" Su Xia hesitated. "It's just that, although it may damage my image, I am quite possessive. If Yixian plans to shoot a video, even if it's just an ordinary food video, and put it online for so many people to see, I will feel a little uncomfortable. My Yixian belongs to me alone."
No matter how other people's girlfriends dress, Su Xia doesn't like his girlfriend to walk outside in revealing clothes. It's better to dress as tightly as possible. In contrast, some people don't seem to mind, and even like to show off his girlfriend, who has a good figure.
Yixian looked at Su Xia, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the admiral's strong possessiveness, and she didn't think it was insulting to treat her as his property. On the contrary, she liked such possessiveness. Was the admiral jealous?
Yixian felt that he had to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
After a pause, Yixian suddenly found the fish head on the chopping board and said, "I was so busy talking to the admiral that I forgot to fry the fish head."
He was a little embarrassed when Su Xia said that. He kept looking at the oil pan and didn't pay attention to Yixian's performance. Hearing Yixian's words, he thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I won't bother you. Just focus on cooking."
"It's okay." Yixian said quickly, "It's okay, I won't bother you."
"Are you really okay?"
"Really." Yixian said, "There's nothing else to do. All we have to do is wait for the fish to be fried, then fish it out and serve it on a plate."
