After lunch, Chenxing went to the kitchen to prepare. She first mixed the dough and fermented it, and then made the soup needed for the milk soup pot. Chenxing used half a firewood chicken, half an old duck, pig stick bones, pig skin, chicken feet, sea shells, and blanched it in the soup pot, added half a pot of water, and started to make it.

Since you want to make small sesame cakes, it is best to have braised pork with it. When Chenxing saw that Mrs. Zhang bought fresh dog meat in the morning, she cut it into large pieces, blanched it in water, and then marinated it with spicy ingredients made by her mother.

The milk soup needs to be cooked for more than three hours, and the dog meat must be braised for at least two hours. Chenxing wanted to stay in the kitchen, but the chef Yin Sao refused. Yin Sao said that these things were her duty. She had nothing to do in the afternoon and was just watching the pot. She helped her clean up the carp she had to make in the evening and soaked the auxiliary ingredients.

Chenxing went upstairs to take a nap for a while. After waking up, he read two hours of book. At 4:30, the milk soup was almost done and he started to work in the kitchen.

The Su family currently has two chefs, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yin, who are both good at craftsmanship. Mrs. Zhang is good at making Cantonese and Zhejiang cuisine, while Mrs. Yin is good at making Shandong and Sichuan cuisine. I heard that Morning Star will make two big dishes from Northwest cuisine tonight, and both of them want to learn from her.

Morning Star naturally doesn’t hide her personal information, so she lets her observe and start the whole process.

The dish of sea cucumber sausage is time-consuming and takes more than an hour to prepare. Chenxing started to make this dish first. The most difficult thing to deal with is pig's trotters. The pig's trotters need to be cooked, fried and then steamed. Chenxing told them the key points of these three steps while operating. After the pig's trotters were steamed, Chenxing took Mrs. Zhang to make small sesame cakes together.

The two of them first fry out the pastry and knead the pastry together, and knead them repeatedly several times to make dozens of palm-sized sesame pastry, sprinkle black sesame seeds on it, put them in a baking tray to wake up.

At this time, the pig's trotters were almost steamed. Chenxing instructed Yinsao to simmer the sea cucumber with cooking wine and broth first, then stir-fry the onion and ginger with lard to bring out the aroma, then pour in the sea cucumber until it tastes good, and finally thicken it into soup, pour the sea cucumber soup on the steamed pig's trotters, and a dish of sea cucumber trotters will be completed.

It was already six o'clock, and Su Yue and Su Jingchuan were about to come back. Chenxing asked Mrs. Zhang to bake small sesame cakes in the oven, and she started making milk soup pot fish by herself.

The milk soup has been boiled, and the pot is very easy to make. Morning Star first fry the carp with boiling oil, then add cooking wine, scallion slices and ginger, stir-fry evenly, add milk soup, boil over high heat, add chopped mushroom slices, winter bamboo shoots, ham slices, and cook for a few minutes, then pour it into the hot pot, continue to stew in a small alcohol stove, and wait for the meal to be served on the table while it is hot.

Su Yue called his father at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon and told him that Chenxing had specially made several hometown dishes, asked him to taste them, and asked him to go home early in the evening.

How could he not give face if his daughter-in-law is so dedicated? Su Jingchuan pushed for social engagements in the evening and went home as soon as it was time to get off work.

Su Yue also rushed back during the meal. As soon as he arrived home, the meal officially started. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yin first brought up a few home-cooked side dishes they made, followed by a large plate of dog meat, a bamboo basket of sesame cakes, and a large plate of sea cucumber hooves. Finally, a copper hot pot was served, which contained the prepared milk-flavored fish.

Su Jingchuan looked at the slightly thick plate, bamboo basket and copper hotpot, and a hint of undetectable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself, the folk customs in the northwest are so simple and elegant!

Chenxing also felt that the utensils she used to serve dishes and the small and exquisite style of the tableware at home were indeed a little out of place. She said to Su Jingchuan a little embarrassedly: "Uncle, we have a big bowl of rice and drink a lot of wine. You may not know that the bowls of biangbiang noodles we eat are bigger than the bowls of your soup."

"I know, uncle has been to your place. Changxin has a branch in Shaanxi Province. I remember that the people from the branch were entertaining me at that time. After eating more than a dozen dishes, I finally served me a big bowl of noodles. I was scared at that time and told them that this big bowl of noodles is enough for us to eat!"

Su Yue had long wanted to eat the small dog meat cakes from Chenxing and their hometown. Now she ate two of them in a row, and praised while eating: "Chenxing, the cakes you made are as delicious as those made by your mother."

Seeing that his son was eating very delicious, Su Jingchuan also made a sesame cake with dog meat to try. Many years ago, Yuehe had made this delicacy in his hometown for them. Su Jingchuan savored it carefully and felt very moved. It was indeed a craft that was passed down from generation to generation! Not only the fragrance of sesame cakes was the same, but the aftertaste of braised dog meat was exactly the same.

Hu Biwei knew that Chenxing had been working in the kitchen in the afternoon, and she also heard Su Yue say that Chenxing was good at cooking. At this moment, she tasted a bite of sea cucumber hooves. It was indeed a rare delicacy, and it tasted much more than what she ate elsewhere. She was very happy and said to Chenxing:

"Morning Star, please teach Mrs. Zhang this dish well, and beautify it. We women can eat it often."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhang has been watching the other side today, she must have learned it."

Hu Biwei ate two more bites of tender carp meat, drank a bowl of pot of fish milk soup, and couldn't help but praise:

"This fish is really good. Morning Star. It seems that your family is good at cooking. You are better than your aunt. Your aunt has cooked this dish at our house back then, but it is not as delicious as you!"

When Hu Biwei talked about Chenxing's aunt, Su Jingchuan quickly winked at her. However, Hu Biwei didn't look at him, and she didn't think there was anything to avoid about this matter, so she said it casually.

Chenxing knew that the aunt Hu Biwei was talking about was her mother. When Chenxing thought of her mother's tragic death, she felt sad for a moment and tears suddenly burst out from her eyes.

Su Yue hurriedly hugged her, patted her back and coaxed her, "Chenxing, it's all over. Look, your mother asked me to accompany you for her!"

Seeing Chenxing crying, Hu Biwei was stunned. Could it be that Chenxing felt that he looked down on her? He obviously didn't mean that!

She quickly explained: "Chenxing, I don't mean to look down on your family. I have always been grateful to your aunt. I know that you are her niece. I feel very kind. Look, your fate with Su Yue may be her in the dark."
