Chapter 80 Making Fish Balls
"Alright, Saburo, you don't need to work so hard. Don't tire yourself out, okay?"

With Sanlang's help, Su Xiaoxiao chopped all the fish on the cutting board into a pile of fish paste.

Su Xiaoxiao came over and was very satisfied. Sanlang was very serious about his work. The fish meat that hadn't been chopped properly had now been mashed into a paste.

This really surprised Su Xiaoxiao. Sanlang was exhausted and kept shaking his arm, but he didn't complain at all and continued to do his work very seriously.

Su Xiaoxiao poured all the fish paste into a bowl, added starch to the fish meat, and added some water with scallions, ginger, and garlic—this was actually water she had soaked earlier. Then she started stirring. The next important step for Su Xiaoxiao was to start kneading the fish balls by hand.

Of course, while kneading the fish balls, Su Xiaoxiao checked for any remaining fish bones. She continued stirring until the mixture reached a certain consistency before finally stopping.

Actually, this way you can make fish balls. Sanlang came over and wiped the sweat from Su Xiaoxiao's forehead.

"How about I make fish balls for you?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "You can't help with this, you don't know how to do it."

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that this was a very meticulous task. Could Sanlang do it well? She looked at the pot and said to Sanlang, "Go and boil a pot of water for me."

After Saburo boiled the water, he watched as he added firewood to the stove.

After Su Xiaoxiao saw the water in the pot boil, she grabbed the chopped fish paste from the basin with one hand, squeezed it into the space between her thumb and forefinger, squeezed out a small ball, scraped off another ball with a spoon, and then put it into the water to cook.

Actually, this was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had made fish balls. She was not very skilled at making fish balls by hand like the ones from Hubei, Henan and Anhui, but it did not affect her movements at all, which still looked very skillful.

Once the white fish balls started floating on the surface of the water, Su Xiaoxiao began to cook them.

Da Bao, Xiao Bao, and San Lang looked at the fish balls in the pot and clapped their hands happily, shouting, "Yay! This is really great! These fish balls are actually starting to float!"

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao looked at the fish balls cooking in the pot. She used her chopsticks to pick up a fish ball and tasted it to see if it was cooked.

Then she nodded with great satisfaction, "Not bad, it's quite delicious."

Then, Su Xiaoxiao used her chopsticks to pick up a fish ball and handed it to Sanlang.

"How do you like it?"

Saburo's face immediately turned a little red when he saw it.

"I... I feel a little embarrassed."

It turned out that Su Xiaoxiao was feeding Sanlang in this way, which naturally made Sanlang a little shy.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao, standing nearby, were practically drooling, eager to come over and taste the delicious fish balls.

Saburo swallowed the fish ball in one gulp. He wasn't afraid of the heat at all, even though it was a little hot, but he couldn't bear to spit it out.

He started chewing and sucking in air as he ate, finding it so delicious that he almost bit his tongue.

However, his eyes were always bright, and he looked very happy and endearing.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that Sanlang would be so handsome.

Su Xiaoxiao said to him, "Can you eat slowly?"

Saburo said somewhat shyly, "I think these fish balls are absolutely delicious, it makes me want to have another bite." "Really?" Su Xiaoxiao hadn't expected that her fish balls would be so popular with Saburo and the children.

"You can eat as much as you want, but be careful not to burn yourself."

After she finished speaking, she placed the prepared fish balls on the plate in front of her and brought them to Saburo and the children.

At this moment, Saburo and the children cheered a little, and then couldn't wait to eat the delicious food.

"By the way, Da Bao, why don't you call your teacher Liu Zi'an from next door over and let your favorite teacher Liu come and try the delicious food?"

Liu Zian has been teaching Da Bao and Xiao Bao to read all this time, and he deserves the most credit. Su Xiaoxiao doesn't have much to thank him for, so she can only let him taste the delicious fish balls.

"Okay, I'll go get Teacher Liu right away."

As he spoke, Da Bao ran out and called Liu Zi'an from next door.

"Teacher Liu, come over here quickly, let's go to my house for some fish balls."

"Fish Ball?"

Liu Zian was genuinely taken aback. He didn't know what fish balls were, but seeing Da Bao's excited expression, he followed along without really understanding what was going on.

Liu Zian rarely visits Su Xiaoxiao's house anymore. Ever since he learned that Sanlang had returned to Su Xiaoxiao's house, he felt a little embarrassed to come over again.

But this time, Da Bao dragged him along, and he felt awkward refusing, so he came along.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw Liu Zian coming over, she greeted him.

"Here, have a taste of this fish ball."

Su Xiaoxiao handed the chopsticks to Liu Zian, who was seeing for the first time what these white fish balls were.

Is this the fish ball Su Xiaoxiao was talking about? It's completely different from the fish balls he's seen before. What could be the reason for this?

He was thinking as he picked up the fish ball, but when he saw Saburo giving him an unfriendly look, he was so scared that he almost dropped it.

He remembered that the vegetarian or meat balls he had eaten before were all deep-fried. Why were Su Xiaoxiao's fish balls boiled? What was the difference?

Thinking about it, he picked up a fish ball, but when he looked up and saw Saburo giving him an unfriendly look, his hand slipped and he almost dropped it, but luckily it didn't. He carefully brought the fish ball to his mouth, took a bite, and was stunned. It really was a fish ball made of fish meat. The taste of this fish ball was something he hadn't expected. He didn't expect the flavor to be so rich, full of the delicate fragrance of fish.

The main reason was that the fish balls were indeed very fresh, after all, they were made from fish that had just been caught. After taking a bite, he was instantly amazed.

"These fish balls are really delicious."

When Liu Zian went to the capital before, he ate fish balls there, but they tasted like tofu dregs and were not fresh. The fish meat was also very coarse.

However, the fish balls made by Su Xiaoxiao were incredibly bouncy and the fish was so fresh that they felt like they were about to burst in your mouth, giving your taste buds an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "It's delicious!"
