Chapter 307: Chapter 307: So Fragrant Chapter 307: Chapter 307: So Fragrant Su Yunjin made her way to the kitchen.
She went to check on her Pickled Fish Sauce.
Mrs. Shen and Su Ningxiu followed behind Su Yunjin. “Yunjin, are you saying you came back today for the Pickled Fish Sauce?”
As Su Yunjin walked, she responded to her mother Mrs. Shen, “Mom, I really came back this time for the Pickled Fish Sauce I made last time!”
Su Ningxiu remembered that her younger sister had told her during their last Pickled Fish Sauce making that it could make money. Thus, Su Ningxiu casually asked, “Xiaomei, are you planning to take the Pickled Fish Sauce to the market to sell?”
They had reached the kitchen door when this conversation took place, and indeed, Su Yunjin was planning to take the Pickled Fish Sauce to sell at the market, but not by setting up a stall. Instead, she intended to go directly to the Fuman Building’s manager, Manager Liu.
“Erjie, I’m planning to take the Pickled Fish Sauce to the Fuman Building at the market in a little while to sell!” Su Yunjin walked into the kitchen, and upon hearing her words, both her second sister Su Ningxiu and Mrs. Shen were taken aback.
They both thought that Su Yunjin was joking!
“Xiaomei, the Fuman Building is the largest restaurant in town. How will you even see the manager there? You won’t be able to sell the Pickled Fish Sauce!”
Su Ningxiu was unaware that Su Yunjin had already been to the Fuman Building once before to sell pig’s blood, and that she had met the Fuman Building’s manager on that occasion.
In Su Ningxiu’s view, people like them would surely not even be granted an audience by the manager. To ease her second sister Su Ningxiu’s concerns, Su Yunjin smiled and said, “Erjie, don’t worry! I have my ways of seeing the manager of the Fuman Building. I have methods to sell my Pickled Fish Sauce!”
After the experience of selling pig’s blood, Su Yunjin was quite confident, about seventy to eighty percent sure she could sell the Pickled Fish Sauce. The well-made Pickled Fish Sauce was all stored in several clay jars in the corner. As she approached the corner, Su Yunjin opened one of the jars, and immediately, she was greeted with the savory and spicy scent of the Pickled Fish Sauce.
It was exceptionally fragrant.
Su Xiaobao swallowed his saliva, “Sanjie, it smells so good!”
Mrs. Shen and Su Ningxiu also found it fragrant.
Initially, both had doubted that anything made by Su Yunjin could be that delicious. However, after smelling the aroma of the Pickled Fish Sauce, they were both surprised.
To their amazement, the Pickled Fish Sauce made by Su Yunjin was indeed very fragrant.
Just by the smell alone, not even having tasted it yet, Su Ningxiu and Mrs. Shen could guess that the Pickled Fish Sauce would be delicious! Su Yunjin looked at the newly made Pickled Fish Sauce in the jar, satisfied with the color and scent, and decided to taste it to see how it turned out.
Su Yunjin scooped up a spoonful.
“Sanjie, can I have a taste?” Su Xiaobao had been wanting to try it for a while, and seeing Su Yunjin scoop out some, he couldn’t wait to taste it!
Seeing Su Xiaobao’s eager look, Su Yunjin brought a chopstick-full of Pickled Fish Sauce to Su Xiaobao’s mouth with a smile, “Here you go! Have a taste!”
The Pickled Fish Sauce, once made, needed one to two weeks to be ready to eat. By the time Su Yunjin returned this time, it had been just over half a month.
The flavor was just right now.
The Pickled Fish Sauce was made using a large amount of fresh fish, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, and crushed chili peppers. After marinating for so long, the taste was not only spicy and fragrant from the chili and ginger, but the fish meat also had a nice chewy texture.
After finishing, Su Xiaobao repeatedly nodded at Su Yunjin, “Mmm, delicious, delicious, Sanjie, the Pickled Fish Sauce you made is really tasty!”
