The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

Jiang Shen followed Wei Lin to the kitchen and said he wanted to help him. Wei Lin thought about Jiang Shen's family background, looked at his clothes and asked tentatively: "Can you do it?"

Jiang Shen was stunned, and looking at the various tools in the kitchen, he suddenly realized: Yes, he doesn't know how to do it. Jiang Shen immediately regretted that he had listened to the education of "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen" in his family.

Seeing Jiang Shen like this, Wei Lin knew that he couldn't do it, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, just help me pull the bellows. It's easy, just pull it."

"Okay, okay." Wei Lin heard Jiang Shen agree but didn't move. He looked up in confusion, then looked at the bellows again, and said in disbelief: "You haven't seen it before, have you?"

Jiang Shen smiled embarrassedly.

Wei Lin reluctantly taught Jiang Shen how to use the bellows. After Jiang Shen understood, he patted his chest and told Wei Lin to believe in himself and that he would do it well.

Wei Lin smiled but didn't really believe him. "Do you like sweets?"

"Ah? Ah, I'll eat whatever you make."

Wei Lin glanced at Jiang Shen, and Jiang Shen said obediently: "Eat."

"I just bought some fish this morning. I'll make you some squirrel mandarin fish."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Shen then thought of something and asked sourly, "Wen Shichu, that guy, hasn't eaten it too?"

Wei Lin rolled his eyes at him: "No, no, you are the only one who came to my house and ate there."

Jiang Shen pulled the bellows happily.

"Why are you pumping the bellows? I haven't processed the fish yet!"

"Oh, oh, I, I'll help you."

"Sit down, don't move! I'll do it!"

Jiang Shen sat obediently on a small stool and watched Wei Lin put on a apron (a modern apron) and kill fish.

Wei Lin took a silver needle and poked it into the fish's head, pulling it back and forth. After a while, the fish stopped moving.

"Sumu is so amazing!"

Wei Lin looked at Jiang Shen as if he was a fool: "Aren't you also a medical student? This method can be used on anyone with a spine." Then he said sinisterly: "It can also be used on humans."

Jiang Shen suddenly felt a chill on his back. Then he thought Wei Lin's scary look was so cute.

Then Wei Lin deftly removed the scales of the mandarin fish, cut off the fish head and removed the internal organs, and quickly dealt with the fish bones.

Then he took the knife and cut the fish into pieces. His movements were smooth and seamless, without damaging the fish skin at all.

“Sumu is awesome!”

Wei Lin paused for a moment, but immediately put the processed fish into the basin, added onion, ginger, salt, and rice wine (cooking wine) to marinate it. Then he turned around to prepare the sauce.

Jiang Shen held up a finger and asked, "Don't care?"

"It will take a cup of tea (ten minutes) to marinate." After saying that, Wei Lin quickly prepared the sauce and took another basin and poured molasses (starch) into it.

Then Wei Lin brought some peas and placed them in front of Jiang Shen, and brought a small bowl, and then taught Jiang Shen how to peel the peas. Pinch the tip of the peas, and you can peel them easily. After making sure Jiang Shen had learned it, Wei Lin told Jiang Shen to soak them in water for a cup of tea (ten minutes) after peeling them.

Then Wei Lin turned around and heated oil in a pan, took out a pineapple, cut it into small pieces, and soaked it in salt water.

When you think the fish is almost done, take it out, dry the moisture off it, and evenly coat it with molasses (starch).

The oil was almost hot, so Wei Lin picked up the fish and prepared to put it into the pan. Jiang Shen quickly dropped the peas to stop him: "Hey, hey, hey, it's too hot. Let me do it."

"Get out of the way." Wei Lin looked at Jiang Shen with a bit of disdain: "You don't even know what a bellows is. Don't worry, I've cooked this fish many times, it won't get burned."

Despite what Wei Lin said, Jiang Shen was still worried. Until Wei Lin got a little angry, Jiang Shen reluctantly sat down and continued to wash the peas, but he still stared at Wei Lin's hand without blinking, fearing that he would get hurt.

Wei Lin held the fish in both hands, and after making sure it was shaped, he put it into the pan and fried it. He then turned around and picked up the fish head that had just been cut, coated it with molasses (starch), and also put it into the pan and fried it.

"Okay, we're almost done washing, come over and pull the bellows."

Hearing Wei Lin's order, Jiang Shen quickly dropped the peas in his hand and sat beside him, pulling the bellows again and again.

"Pull it slowly, and don't use too big a fire. It's not good for the frying oil to be too hot."

The explosion took almost an hour (144 seconds, actually it doesn't need to be that long, just one minute will do, but I really can't figure out how long one minute is) of time.

Wei Lin took out the fish and put it aside. After the oil temperature rose, he put it back in and fry it again. After frying, he took out the fish and put it on a plate, and poured the sauce that had been prepared in advance into the pot.

At the same time, cook the peas. When the sauce becomes thick, pour it over the fish, then sprinkle with peas and chopped pineapple (pineapple) pieces.

After finishing, Jiang Shen surrounded the fish and praised Wei Lin. He felt a little embarrassed to be praised by Wei Lin.

Wei Lin heated up the steamed buns he bought this morning, took a look at them, and felt that they were a bit monotonous. He planned to stir-fry two dishes. Although there were only two people, they couldn't be too shabby.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he found that it was a servant from the Jiang Mansion. It turned out that after Wei Lin accepted Jiang Shen's invitation this morning, Jiang Shen arranged for people to prepare a lot of food.

Wei Lin looked at the roast duck and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, as well as the crystal cake that Liu's pastry shop might not be able to buy even if he queued up for a whole day. He suddenly felt that his squirrel mandarin fish was not up to par.

Jiang Shen diligently served all the dishes to the table and praised Wei Lin's dishes for being so good that they were better than the ones he prepared. He also asked the servants of the Jiang Mansion if they were right.

The poor servant nodded frantically in the murderous eyes of his master. Then, just as the servant was about to say something, Jiang Shen immediately locked him out.

Servant: ...

The servant sighed: "Forget it, I'm used to it." Finally, looking at the closed door, he estimated that his second master would not come back tonight.
