Rebirth: I Have a Spiritual Spring

Chapter 397: Randomly reading the mandarin duck recipe, Zhang Wanwan cooks

Tian Sen nodded politely, put down the gift, and said, "Auntie, this is my friend, Zi Yue, who is also Wan Wan's friend, and the same goes for the two following."

The second child and the third child nodded to Zhang Mu in unison, their aura seemed quite disheartening.

Mother Zhang smiled dryly and nodded to them, and said quickly: "Come and sit down. You make tea and have some snacks first. I'll call the girl to come out. We can eat later."

Mother Zhang trotted into the baking room and said excitedly: "Your friend is here. Hurry out and greet the guests. There are three new faces. One of them is so handsome! But the other two look a bit difficult to deal with. I don’t know if he’s from the underworld, but a young talent with a successful career like Oda wouldn’t hang out with people from the underworld, so I guess I’m overthinking it.”

Zhang's mother was still thinking casually. Zhang Wanwan really broke down and asked in a dumbfounded voice: "Mom, since we have guests here, why don't you prepare? What should we eat tonight?"

Only then did Zhang's mother come to her senses and patted her head in annoyance, "It's broken! Half of the dishes are done! I'm going to work now, so hurry up and don't leave any ink marks!"

"I know! There's still some work to do here. Let's talk about it later." Zhang Yuanyuan said calmly and continued to work on the matter at hand.

Mother Zhang was speechless and shook her head, feeling very troubled by this ignorant daughter.

Here, Leng Zi became more and more disappointed when he saw that Zhang Wanwan was not cooking in person. He ate a piece of snacks and entered the baking room.

Qin Wenjun looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of confusion, as if he didn't understand why this uninvited guest had barged in on his own.

Zhang Wanwan had just brought out the freshly baked snacks, turned around and almost bumped into Leng Ziyue, exclaiming: "Why did you come in? Aren't you making tea outside?"

Leng Zi pursed his lips, and said a little aggrieved and stubbornly: "I want to eat what you cooked, and the seafood porridge, not what your mother cooked!"

Zhang Wanwan was stunned, and Qin Wenjun on the side was dumbfounded.

Leng Ziyue saw that she was silent and made his point clear again.

Only then did Zhang Wanwan react and coaxed in a dumbfounded voice: "Okay, okay, you go out to make tea first. I'll tell my mother and ask her to handle the ingredients and don't touch them. Is that okay?"

"Yes." Leng Ziyue turned around and walked out with satisfaction.

Zhang Wanwan quickly took out the remaining snacks and muttered in a low voice: "They are all uncles."

After turning off the power of the oven, she told Qin Wenjun: "Wait until these batches are cool before packing them. Come here first today. You can rest when you are done. I will go to the kitchen to cook first. My brother told me , Bring some food over and eat with your parents in the evening."

"Thank you, boss!" Qin Wenjun smiled, feeling warm in his heart. He couldn't help but think of Zhang Baiyan, and then he shook his head in embarrassment and quickly put aside the strange emotion.

Here, Mother Zhang was about to show off her skills. She was stunned when she saw Zhang Wanwan coming in. "Are you not busy anymore? Go and accompany the guests!"

Zhang Wanwan shook her head, "The uncle asked me to cook in person, so I'd better do it."

Zhang's mother subconsciously thought it was Tian Sen. She immediately let go and smiled from ear to ear. She looked out of the kitchen window at Tian Sen and then at Zhang Wanwan. She felt more and more that they were compatible, as if their future son-in-law had already been found.

Zhang Wanwan didn't know Zhang Mu's unreasonable thoughts. She checked the hairy crabs that Zhang Mu had prepared and made sure there were no problems before letting Zhang Mu light the firewood stove.

Zhang's mother was a little surprised, "Why do you need to use a wood stove?"

Since their home was renovated, they usually use induction cookers and liquefied gas, and they haven't used wood stoves for a long time. Zhang Wanwan explained calmly: "The food cooked in the wood stove is the most fragrant. Since you want to entertain them, let's do it seriously!"

Mother Zhang stared at the firewood stove for a few seconds, then resigned herself to cleaning the big pot and moving firewood.

After the pot boiled with hot water, Zhang Wanwan drained the hot water and poured some peanut oil into it. This peanut oil was squeezed by the county oil shop itself. She bought a little bit every time and only ate the freshest. This kind of peanut oil has a fragrant aroma. It's tangy and perfect for stir-frying.

When the oil pan was almost hot, she put some green onion, **** and garlic into it and sauteed it until fragrant. Then she poured the hairy crabs in, poured in rice wine, and stir-fried repeatedly. When it was almost cooked, she added a small amount of salt. When the hairy crabs were cooked, Ready to serve.

She steamed the other part, which is the most common way to prepare hairy crabs. After it comes out of the pot, she eats it with sauce. If there is any leftover, she directly lets Zhang Mu pick the meat to make seafood porridge.

After the crabs were out of the pot, she stir-fried a few farm side dishes and seafood. By then, the rice was also cooked. Zhang Wanwan and Zhang's mother hurriedly took the food out.

Just when Zhang's father and Zhang Boyan came back, Zhang's mother hurriedly said: "Hurry up and wash up. There are guests at home tonight. Let's have a meal together."

In the kitchen, Zhang Wanwan put another part of the food in a crisper box and carried it to the bakery to Qin Wenjun, "There are four kinds of vegetables, four kinds of seafood, and two kinds of hairy crabs cooked in different ways. The seafood porridge is difficult to make, so I didn't give it to them. You guys are pretending, do you think you should just bring me a pot?"

Qin Wenmingjun hurriedly refused, "No need, boss, it's very simple for my parents to cook a meal, but we won't be able to finish it all."

"Okay, hurry up and go over. It'll be more delicious while the food is still hot." Zhang Wanwan urged.

Qin Wenjun thanked him and trotted out of the Zhang family's old house carrying his things.

Here, Father Zhang and the others also sat down with Tian Sen and his group.

Leng Ziyue signaled his second son to bring out the osmanthus wine, and said to Zhang's father and others: "This osmanthus wine has been collected by my friend for many years. I think it's good. You guys have a try."

As soon as the sweet-scented osmanthus wine was opened, the rich aroma of the wine immediately made the eyes of several elders light up.

Mother Zhang pulled Zhang Wanwan to sit down, looked at Tian Sen and said, "Hurry up and try it, these are all made by my girl."

Zhang Wanwan served a bowl of seafood porridge to Leng Ziyue and said, "You want it. I added more hairy crabs today, so it should taste more delicious."

Tian Sen looked at it with greedy eyes and handed the bowl to Zhang Wanwan, "Excuse me, give me a bowl too."

Zhang Wanwan then served him a bowl.

Leng Ziyue had already eaten it. He took a bite and couldn't help but nodded, "It's indeed more delicious than last time."

When Zhang Wanwan heard this, she was so proud that she said arrogantly: "Then try the hairy crabs again. The hairy crabs you made should be quite authentic, but the cooking method may not be so authentic. The crabs here are usually deep-fried and stir-fried. , I will make two flavors, I don’t know what you like to eat.”

While talking, Zhang Wanwan picked up a big crab for Leng Ziyue.

Mother Zhang on the side was dumbfounded. She didn't understand the current situation. She looked at Leng Ziyue for a while and then at Tian Sen. She was full of things she wanted to ask, but she couldn't open her mouth. She could only hold them back.
