Chapter 35: 034: Who gave you this recipe? 1

Translator: 549690339

This ordinary child, at her age, would still be naive in an ordinary family. But for Ni Yang, almost all of the family’s burdens have fallen on her.

Every time she thought of the hardship endured by Ni Yang, Ni Cuihua was overwhelmed with shame. Was it because she had been so incompetent as a mother?

Ni Yang handed her little sister to Ni Cuihua, “i’ll go to eat first.”

Ni Yang came to the dining room, hurriedly ate a few bites, left her chopsticks, and went to the courtyard to unload the goods from the bicycle.

After the 60 catties of vegetables were unloaded, a large heap was formed. It was indeed a massive task to wash them.

Yet, Ni Yang was not afraid of the trouble. After pressing a large basin of well water, she squatted down and started washing seriously.

She planned to pickle these vegetables into sauerkraut.

Having been in the catering business in her previous life, pickling sauerkraut was not a difficult task for Ni Yang. Moreover, she was skilled and had devised a secret recipe; the sauerkraut she pickled was not only fragrant and crisp but also appetising, leaving a lingering aroma in the mouth.

In the sour fish noodle soup, the secret sauerkraut and the secret chilli were the main characters.

These secret recipes could not be imitated by others.

!!..

She believed that once her secret sauerkraut was out, it would become even more popular given that the noodles she made using ordinary sauerkraut from the market were already selling well.

With this thought in mind, Ni Yang was full of energy and did not feel tired at all.

In fact, most of the sauerkraut available in the market was not washed before pickling, after all, it was to be sold.

But Ni Yang was different.

Since she was depending on customers to make a living, she would be responsible for them. Therefore, the food processed by her was always very clean and hygienic, as if it were prepared for herself.

“Yangyang, why did you buy so many vegetables? Including you and Auntie Ni, there are only three of us for dinner. How long do we have to eat such a large amount of vegetables?” Ni Cuihua walked over to Ni Yang, full of confusion. It was summer, a large amount of piled-up vegetables could easily rot.

Ni Yang explained with a smile, “Mom, these are not for us to eat, I’m going to pickle them into sauerkraut.”

“To pickle sauerkraut?” Ni Cuihua asked surprisingly, “Yangyang, you know how to pickle the sauerkraut?”

Actually, anyone could pickle salted vegetables, but not sauerkraut. It takes a certain level of skill to make the vegetables taste pleasantly sour and delicious. Therefore, Ni Cuihua was somewhat sceptical of Ni Yang.

After all, Ni Yang had never pickled sauerkraut before.

Ni Yang replied with a smile, “I’ve never pickled before, but I’ve read about it in books. It’s actually not that difficult. The sauerkraut from the market is expensive, costing one cent for a catty, while the fresh vegetables 1 bought cost one cent for five catties. So 1 thought about giving it a try to save some money.”

Hearing this, Ni Cuihua immediately rolled up her sleeves, “You would have to spend so much time to wash all these vegetables alone. Let me help you.”

“No need.” Ni Yang hurriedly stopped Ni Cuihua, “Mom, how many times have 1 told you? You can help me with these after you’ve regained your health. Right now, you’re not helping me, but adding trouble.”

Unable to persuade her daughter, Ni Cuihua had no choice but to give up and go back to her room. She quietly took out the ten fish that Ni Yang had bought, cleaned them, and began to slice them carefully.

She didn’t want to put all the burdens on Ni Yang alone.

Ni Yang was washing vegetables outside and had no idea that her mother had started working secretly again.

After washing the vegetables clean, Ni Yang hung them all up on the rope. After the water on them had drained away, she neatly arranged them in the vat. For every layer of vegetables she arranged, Ni Yang would even spread a layer of chopped ginger, garlic and pepper, and fine salt on top.

Even before the pickling was done, a sour aroma was already wafting in the air, smelling incredibly good.

About two hours later, Ni Yang finally finished pickling ail the vegetables.

At this moment, the aroma of rich fish bone soup came from the courtyard.

Ni Yang knew, it must be her mother who had secretly started working again.

It seemed that she could only try to nourish her mother more in terms of meals. With this in mind, Ni Yang quickly thought out a set of menus in her mind.

All were made from food that was particularly good for women.

To nourish qi and maintain health, beauty and complexion.

On the other side.

In a high-end villa area in Beijing.

Upon receiving the prescription from Ni Yang, Wang Meifeng took Yang Guobao back to her parents’ home.

She couldn’t wait to let Yang Guobao give it a try.

But when she brought up the matter to her family with the prescription in hand, her always sensible mother-in-law Zhou Suhua was the first to oppose, “Meifeng, medicine always has its toxicity, especially this one with no clear origin. Guobao is still small; what if he develops a more serious problem after taking it?”

Wang Meifeng explained, “Mom, this is not medicine of unknown origin. It’s a family prescription from Ni Yang. I believe it can cure Guobao’s illness.”

Zhou Suhua narrowed her brows slightly, “Then let me ask you, how old is Ni Yang you mentioned this year? Does she have a medical license?”

The expression on Wang Meifeng’s face darkened, “Although Ni Yang is young and doesn’t have a medical license, she has indeed saved Guobao. Without her, Guobao might have already…” The rest of her sentence was left unsaid.

Zhou Suhua sighed and continued, “I’m not denying that the girl called Ni Yang may have saved Guobao, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she has the ability to heal. Maybe it was a happy accident? Or she had experienced something similar in the past? Anyway, we cannot let Guobao take this unknown medicine, unless you, as his mother, wish for Guobao to end up like Hudie.”

Zhou Suhua is Yang Guobao’s biological grandmother. She wanted Yang Guobao to be as healthy as ordinary children more than anyone else.

But she couldn’t let Yang Guobao take any risks.

After all, Yang Guobao was the only descendant of the Yang family.

The girl Hudie from the Mo family had taken the wrong medicine for a minor problem and her condition had since become critical and incurable. It was just a matter of a few months now.

Hearing this, Wang Meifeng, somewhat agitated, said, “Mom, I’m Guobao’s biological mother. How could I harm him? What you said just now…”

Just when a war of words was about to erupt, the father-in-law Yang Dahai, who had been silent up to this point, spoke up:

“Meifeng, your mother didn’t mean that, don’t misunderstand. She is also considering the best for Guobao. How about this, you take this prescription to Doctor Wang to have a look tomorrow. If he says the medicine is fine, you can let Guobao give it a try.”

Hearing this, Zhou Suhua’s tone also softened a bit, “Your father is right. You take Guobao to see Doctor Wang tomorrow. If he says it’s okay, we won’t object.”

Given the circumstance, Wang Meifeng could only agree.

Early the next morning, Wang Meifeng took Yang Guobao to Doctor Wang’s house.

Doctor Wang was a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Beijing. With a long goat beard and a pair of reading glasses, he looked like a wise old man.. After examining the prescription in Wang Meifeng’s hand for a moment, he slowly asked, “Who gave you this prescription?”
