Having promised Lao Fan to make water-boiled fish for lunch, Lin Yuan hurriedly got busy. While Lao Fan was seeing patients, Lin Wei had already steamed the rice. With Liuzi taking care of the fire, Lin Yuan didn't need to watch over it, and by now, the rice was already emitting a fragrant aroma.
Earlier on, Lin Yuan had prepared the fish slices and necessary spices, and had even salted the sliced fish to marinate. Now, she was just waiting to begin cooking. The first step was to blanch the vegetables in hot water, which didn't require much skill. Once the water boiled, Lin Yuan tossed in the small bok choy, spinach, cilantro, and other vegetables she had prepared. Originally, she hadn't planned to use so many vegetables, but there was no helping it, considering two more guests had suddenly turned up hungry today.
