After meticulously preparing the ribs, Gu Zi proceeded to the kitchen to continue with the main dish. She placed the deboned dragon ribs into a large pot, adding the spices she had prepared earlier. As the pot filled with water and was set to boil over high heat, Gu Zi busied herself with concocting the sauce to be drizzled over the ribs.

Gu Zi had planned to prepare this dish for some time, having made a special trip to the city to purchase the necessary ingredients. She felt that today, as she was hosting Hu Bing, was the perfect opportunity to do so.

On one hand, she could share this dish with her family. On the other, she could show Hu Bing the caliber of dishes she was capable of creating. Even the most privileged young ladies might not be familiar with such a dish, she thought, let him be surprised.

She intended to show off her culinary skills to him, so he could spread the word about her unparalleled talent. She had Su Shen’s taste buds firmly in her grasp, and she would not let anyone else attempt to win him over.

However, the sauce for this dish required lovage, which was not available locally. Gu Zi decided to substitute it with coriander from her own garden. She asked Su Bing to bring her some, and being meticulous as always, he brought her perfectly cleaned coriander.

Gu Zi chopped the coriander and placed it in the sauce bowl, adding freshly chopped chili and garlic. She then sliced two limes, squeezing the juice into the bowl, and finally added a generous pour of fish sauce and other seasonings. After a few stirs with a wooden spoon, a tangy, spicy, and savory aroma wafted up, intoxicating Gu Zi.

Su Bing, standing nearby, was also affected by the strong aroma. He pinched his nose, not doubting his mother’s culinary skills, but wondering if the dish was really edible. It seemed to have a strong flavor.

Seeing Su Bing’s speechless expression, Gu Zi put down the sauce bowl and explained, “The flavor is a bit strong now, but once we add the soup, it will become milder and taste just right.”

Su Bing looked at the bowl of green sauce, finding it quite appetizing despite its strong flavor. He had never seen his mother fail in the kitchen, so he trusted her. “Mom, I’m really looking forward to this flavor. Let me help you.”
