Chapter 112 Colleague
Minmin felt that she had no shame in learning from others, especially when it came to looking after her own "temple of five viscera." Whenever she had time, she would pop into their place.
The dishes that Fourth Aunt could cook remarkably encompassed both northern and southern cuisines—northern dishes like noodles, sweet and sour pork, blood sausage, sticky rice dumplings, and leek pockets and southern dishes such as rice cakes, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, lion’s head meatballs, white-cut chicken, stuffed tofu, and so on. Minmin was curious about her previous job, and later she mentioned that she learned it because her family members had been chefs.
If Minmin asked too many questions, Fourth Aunt would just laugh it off, "Why so many questions? You better hurry up and learn. Yiguang also got used to my cooking; he always came over for meals when he was younger. You really need to work hard, and in the future, you won’t need anything else but your cooking skills to keep him tightly tied to you."
Whenever she cooked something new, she loved having Minmin bring it home for others to try. Only after receiving multiple praises would Fourth Aunt feel a sense of accomplishment.
That’s why Yixiang, who was obligated by the food she received, stood up to shut Yidong up.
Minmin was bringing meat to Fourth Uncle’s house when they had just sat down to eat.
And Mr. Hao, who had asked her for directions today, was also there.
"Minmin is here, come on in quickly," Fourth Aunt warmly waved her over.
