Chapter 176 This is a combination

Hai Wan's mother looked at her in surprise and said, "Miss Wen, it would be great if you could teach us one thing."

Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "This is a combination. You can't just let people eat spicy seafood hotpot when they come to your stall. They have to have some rice, right?"

"Wouldn't white rice be fine?"

“White rice is good, but who can resist having both rice and seafood at an economical and affordable price?”

Haiwa's father didn't expect that today's meal would allow her to teach him two kinds of food.

Wen Zhenyi stopped talking nonsense and placed the seafood that had been processed previously aside, peeling the shrimp, deveining the fish, cutting the squid into small pieces, and dicing the cucumber.

Heat oil in a pan, add the prepared ginger and garlic, fry until fragrant, add cucumber and stir-fry until 80% cooked, then add chopped seafood, salt, pepper and other seasonings and stir-fry.

Finally, pour in the steamed rice, stir-fry the rice and seafood evenly, remove from the pan and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

"Uncle, aunt, the rice can be cold or steamed. Please note that when shrimp are present, it cannot be eaten with tomatoes, otherwise it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort."

Hai Wan Niang nodded quickly: "We will remember it."

"The last dish is winter melon and clam soup. If a customer orders fried rice, you can usually serve a bowl of soup."

While cooking, Wen Zhenyi explained the cooking methods to them: "There are many ways to cook seafood. I will teach you next time I have the chance."

"Miss Wen, these three things are enough for us." Haiwa's father is not a greedy person. Even if it is just one thing, it is enough for them.

Wen Zhenyi said nothing more: "Let's eat."

Nowadays, all the children in the family will eat some chili peppers. Wen Zhenyi did not put too much chili peppers when making it because he was afraid that the children could not eat it.

Haiwa looked at the food on the table and looked at her in surprise: "I knew you were a good cook, but I didn't expect you to be this good."

"I have already taught your parents the method. You can try to set up a stall and boost the income of the whole village."

“How to drive it?”

Shen Hanxing took a bite of the meal and said, “You guys are going on business, don’t you have time to go out to sea?”

Haiwa's family looked at each other. If business really meant they had little time to go out to sea, they would ask, "What does this have to do with boosting the village's income?"

“Where does your seafood business come from?”

Haiwa's family suddenly realized: "Buy it from the villagers."

"That's right, this way you can boost the income of the whole village, and no one will worry about not being able to sell their products."

Haiwa's father was surprised. He didn't expect Wen Zhenyi to think so far ahead. "Miss Wen, thank you."

"Don't thank me, this is the money for the meal."

Haiwa's father and the others knew that this was not something that could be bought with the money for a meal.

Wen Zhenyi paid for the meal with three dishes and took everyone back to town with a cart full of coconuts.

Xiong Lu didn't say a word while eating, he just kept eating, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

The others were stunned by his actions, but no one said anything.

Xiong Lu sat on the ox cart and said, "Miss Wen, from now on, I, Xiong Lu, will be yours."

Wen Zhenyi's mouth twitched: "Uncle Xiong, this is totally unnecessary."

"I, I don't mean that. I mean that I will be your subordinate, servant, and domestic servant from now on."

"Not really. I'm taking you away because you're useful. If you weren't useful, I wouldn't take you away."

Xiong Lu scratched his messy hair: "I know, I will do my best."

Shen Hanxing asked in a low voice: "Sister Wen, did you really take him away just because of the windmill he made?"

"Not exactly. He's creative. Maybe he'll give us more surprises."

"I think he's quite skillful with his hands."

"Indeed, as to whether it will be a surprise or a shock in the future, we can only wait and see."

When Wen Zhenyi returned to the store, Geng Ru and the others looked at her and Shen Hanxing with somewhat intriguing eyes.

"Yi Yi, come back to the room with me."

Wen Zhenyi looked at Zhu Tao and asked with his eyes: Little Taozi, what's going on?

Zhu Tao looked at her, then at Chen Hanxing, not knowing what to say, so she could only gesture for her to go over first.

Ma Yushun and the others took the coconuts off the car and looked at Wen Zhenyi, who was leaving with Geng Ru, with curiosity: "What happened?"

The aunts all seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, they just stopped talking and went to help move the coconuts.

Geng Ru walked into the room and sat down. Seeing Wen Zhenyi come in, she said, "Yiyi, close the door."

Wen Zhenyi obediently closed the door, looked at Geng Ru, who looked a little unhappy, and asked in a low voice: "Aunt, what happened?"

Geng Ru looked at her, not knowing what to say: "Yi Yi, let me ask you, when did you get engaged to the young man from the Shen family? How come we didn't know about it?"

Wen Zhenyi's mouth twitched. How could she explain this? "Aunt, how did you know?"

"How should I know? The guests all congratulated us today, and I only found out after asking. You actually announced yesterday in front of so many people that you were engaged. This isn't even a thing, so how can you, as a girl, maintain your reputation in the future? Do you know what people outside are saying?"

Wen Zhen saw that she was so angry that she was about to slam the table. Knowing that she was doing this for her own good, she walked over and sat down in front of her: "Aunt, what happened yesterday was purely coincidental, but since I said it, it means I agree to get engaged to Brother Shen."

"You agreed, but what if they don't want to? If word gets out, it will damage your reputation."

"I don't care what others say. Life would be so tiring if I cared about what others thought all the time."

Geng Ru looked at her helpless face and asked, "What do the Shen family say?"

“I think Grandpa Shen will find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage as soon as possible. Please ask my aunt to explain the whole story to me and grandma when she goes back today.”

"Yi Yi, let me ask you, do you really want to get engaged to him?"

Wen Zhen nodded: "Yes, he is a very nice person."

Geng Ru sighed, "I know he's a good person, but the world is too harsh on women. I'm afraid you'll suffer."

Wen Zhenyi hugged her arm and rested his head on her shoulder: "I know you are all too kind to me, afraid that I will be wronged or hurt."

Geng Ru patted her head: "It's good that you know."

"I won't let myself be wronged or hurt."

"Since this is your decision, I will go back and tell your grandparents right away, otherwise they will be kept in the dark and reject this marriage for you."

"Thank you, aunt."

"You are such a righteous kid. If my family members were like you, I would be a grandmother now." Geng Ru shook her head helplessly.
