Chapter 999: Chapter 995: Fishy Smell? What Fishy Smell?

Bai Ningbing gave Luofeng a sidelong glance, playfully complaining, "She said the same thing when I was in ninth grade, and it was still awful!"

"Uh..." Luofeng was at a loss for words.

Bai Ningbing and Luofeng were chatting.

Tangya in the kitchen started to feel troubled too.

How should one get rid of the fishiness for this steamed fish?

Is adding cooking wine enough?

Tangya looked up recipes while trying to start cooking.

Nearly an hour later, three very simple dishes were finally completed.

If it were Liu Shanshan handling this, even starting from cleaning the fish, it should only take half an hour to get the meal ready.

But Tangya took an hour.

"Luofeng, Ningbing, it’s time to eat, go wash your hands first!" Tangya called out.

Luofeng and Bai Ningbing got up together and went to the guest bathroom to wash their hands.

Bai Ningbing quickly said, "Your guess is wrong, I already smell the fishiness!"

"Huh?" Luofeng was secretly surprised; is this little silly one’s nose that keen?

Next time I visit her at Jingzhou University, I’ll have to be careful.

After they finished washing their hands, Tangya had already prepared two bowls of rice for them.

As for the rice, there’s no technique needed, just the rice cooker.

It should be edible.

Although it seemed like too much water made the rice a bit watery, it wasn’t too hard to eat.

As long as it’s cooked, it’s fine.

"Luofeng, take a look at this steamed fish. Does it have a fishy taste?" Tangya asked.

Luofeng cautiously picked up a piece of fish.

Not daring to take too much.

Too much would be self-torture.

Too little, and Tangya might feel embarrassed, so a small piece of fish would do.

Tangya watched Luofeng and only asked after he chewed, "How is it?"

Actually, having such a beautiful woman cooking for you.

For many men, even if it tasted bad, it would be a happiness, right?

But Luofeng felt this was not happiness; it was hell.

But Luofeng couldn’t say much, so he smiled, "It’s alright, Auntie’s cooking has improved!"

Tangya smiled, "That’s good!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Bai Ningbing suspiciously picked a piece, put it in her mouth, and almost couldn’t help spitting it out but didn’t and complained, "Wow, I thought it only smelled fishy, but it tastes that way too!"

Luofeng suspected Bai Ningbing was describing what he had just eaten.

Luofeng was puzzled too.

Wasn’t it fishy earlier?

Eating fish, and you’re being picky?

Cough, cough, cough...

"Mom, your cooking is simply too terrible!" Bai Ningbing complained directly.

Tangya gave Bai Ningbing a helpless look, but what could she do? She followed the recipe closely.

"It’s okay, I ordered takeout, just wait a bit, it should arrive soon!" Luofeng said while adding, "I don’t mind, I can eat, but Ningbing seems..."

Bai Ningbing rolled her eyes at Luofeng.

You just like playing the good guy, don’t you?

But Bai Ningbing knew, this was her mom, she could say anything, but Luofeng couldn’t.

If it were Luofeng’s mom cooking bad, Bai Ningbing would also...

Wait, Bai Ningbing this Iron Silly probably wouldn’t think that much, if it’s bad, she’d just say it’s bad?

That would suit her silly character, right?

In less than five minutes, the doorbell rang.

Bai Ningbing got ready to answer the door, and Luofeng called out, "It should be the delivery!"

After the door was opened.

A Zhongyi Tang security person dressed as a delivery guy brought over a thermal box.

Then he took out two large takeout boxes from the thermal box.

Luofeng received the boxes and then closed the door.

Bai Ningbing curiously asked, "Luofeng, what takeout did you order?"

Luofeng said, "Sour soup baby fish!"

"Baby fish?" Bai Ningbing was taken aback, "That sounds strange!"

Tangya said, "Isn’t baby fish a protected animal?"

Yes, the wild baby fish is indeed a second-level protected species.

But the farmed ones can be eaten casually.

Why are they protected species?

Don’t even ask, any species that humans need to protect, how can they not be useless?

If they weren’t useless, they wouldn’t need human protection, right?

Just like pandas, climbing trees and falling down all the time, I strongly suspect that’s why there are so few of them.

"These are farm-raised baby fish, it’s fine, they come from my friend’s fish farm!" Luofeng’s friend, of course, being Li Jincai, who runs a place for raising these.

Luofeng then introduced Li Jincai.

Bai Ningbing loved eating fish, and upon hearing they were farmed, she was relieved, "I’ve never had baby fish before!"

"Then hurry and try it!" Luofeng said.

Tangya also liked eating fish.

After all, fish has high protein.

And it’s not fattening.

It’s a great ingredient.

Luofeng opened the takeout box, and the aroma of sour soup baby fish wafted out.

Bai Ningbing took a deep breath, and analyzed first, "There’s no fishy smell!"

Tangya inadvertently got hit again.

Bai Ningbing picked up a piece of fish. She blew on it carefully, then remarked, "This delivery person is fast, the fish is still so hot!"

Luofeng smiled without saying a word.

With Zhongyi Tang people handling it?

Could they let the fish cool down on the way?

If so, they might as well all get off work, right?

Bai Ningbing ate a piece of baby fish, squinting her eyes in enjoyment, finding it very tender and bouncy without any fishy taste, especially the skin—so soft and glutinous.

Bai Ningbing really liked it.

"It’s delicious!" Bai Ningbing beamed with a happy smile.

Luofeng picked a piece of baby fish for Bai Ningbing, "If it’s tasty, have more!"

Wait a minute.

Isn’t some advertisement feeling offended?

Luofeng also served Tangya, "Auntie, you should try too!"

"Don’t worry, Auntie, eating baby fish won’t make you fat!" Luofeng added.

Bai Ningbing carefreely said, "Yeah, mom, don’t worry, the fish is fine!"

Tangya rolled her eyes at Bai Ningbing, then savored the baby fish.

Just like Bai Ningbing, Tangya found the baby fish very delicious.

Fortunately, advances in farm-raised baby fish technology have improved, lowering the price from a startling ten thousand per 0.5 kilograms to nearly under one hundred per half a kilogram.

Otherwise, at such prices, very few could afford it, right?
