Western meals are eaten with a fork and knife. Look at me, I hold the fork in my left hand, and the knife in my right hand…” As she spoke, Ni Yang elegantly cut off a piece of the steak, speared it with her fork, and put it in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!” Ni Cuihua interrupted in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this, mom?” Ni Yang asked, turning her gaze to Ni Cuihua in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yangyang, this meat is not cooked. There’s still blood drippin’ from it! They should take it back quickly and cook it thoroughly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang smiled slightly and explained, “This is what a medium-rare steak looks like. It’s tender and juicy, and it tastes great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua expressed her confusion: “How can you eat the beef that isn’t fully cooked? What if it got you sick? What if you catch mad cow disease?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang responded, “Mom, that’s a misconception. In fact, a medium-rare steak is not only edible but also much more flavorful and nutritious than fully cooked beef. It’s like the durian we had last night: it doesn’t look appetizing, but it tastes wonderful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua frowned slightly, “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang continued to encourage her, “Why would I deceive you? Mom, try the steak on your dish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua was hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, she still can’t accept raw, bloody meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very sight of it made her skin crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry. What I ordered for you is medium well. It won’t be bleeding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua finally relaxed, picked up the knife and fork, and began to cut the steak as she had seen Ni Yang do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang had made it look straightforward while cutting, but when Ni Cuihua tried it, the utensils seemed to have become dulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang got up with a chuckle, went to Ni Cuihua’s side, slightly leaned over and gently guided her hand to teach her how to operate the knife and fork, “Mom, like this, and then this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, the entire steak was cut into nice little pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua stabbed a piece of beef and put it in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beef was sprinkled with lemon juice and black pepper, so it didn’t have a gamey taste, and it was neither tough nor chewy. The taste was indeed way better than that of the soy-sauce beef and braised beef she was used to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang handed her a piece of steak from her dish, “Mom, now try this medium-rare piece.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua hesitantly accepted it, closed her eyes, and slowly chewed it in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taste…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t bad at all, just like what Ni Yang had described. The texture was excellent, tender and juicy, and it was delightfully bouncy when she bit into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it tasted great, Ni Cuihua still preferred the medium-well-done beef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of eating raw meat was a mental block she still hadn’t been able to get over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ni Cuihua’s reaction, Ni Yang didn’t force her and continued to teach her how to eat escargot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Western cuisine, there’s a particular way to eat escargot too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like common people eating river snails, they can get the meat out in one ‘slurp’, but for eating escargot, there are special tools involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the six big escargots in the dish, Ni Cuihua expressed her astonishment, “Yangyang, why are these river snails white?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that Ni Cuihua hasn’t seen escargot before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these escargot were so big and unlike the ones she had seen in the fields, she mistook them for river snails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang explained, “Mom, these are escargot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ni Cuihua was completely floored!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Escargot?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Escargot is the term used in the local dialect for snails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang nodded, “Yes, escargot. But don’t worry, mom, these are not like the wild snails. These are edible ones and their English name is ‘Helix Pomatia’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can escargots be eaten as well?” Ni Cuihua conveyed her doubt, “Foreigners are too strange! They eat things no one else does!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating the raw meat that was still bloody seemed bad enough, but now even escargots are being thrown in the mix!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How frightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang expertly chose a piece of escargot and handed it to Ni Cuihua, “Mom, give this a try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Cuihua repeatedly refused, “No, no …”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the countryside, even ducks don’t eat escargot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang laughed, “Mom, do you know how much each of these escargots cost? If you don’t eat them, there’s no way I can eat all six by myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang said, “28 yuan each.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? 28 yuan each?” Ni Cuihua looked incredulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then this whole dish would be 168 yuan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yang continued to nod her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We only spent 158 yuan for dinner at the state-owned restaurant last time but now a plate of escargot meat costs 168 yuan. It’s just too expensive!\u003C\u002Fp>",848,"2026-06-05T19:00:05.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3d2ab99972016b5fc696c4aeafeb6fb02efac96918ce3859e001a05d4bf6f56","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-336","rebirth-of-a-village-girl-chapter-334",1410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-of-a-village-girl-cover.jpg"]
