Chapter 41: Stir-fried Squid, Braised Chicken

Today was indeed uneventful. There were no surprises in the boxes, but there was a bag of dried shrimps. In one box, I also found a set of 22 bowls and plates made of white bone china.

Lu Xingchen was very pleased; finally, he had some decent tableware!

Besides this, there was also a pink tracksuit, which looked quite nice. Lu Xingchen decided to keep it for later.

After opening the box, she started planning what to eat that day.

There are already some early-ripening strawberries in Taoyuan Holy Land. The Chinese cabbage and green onions are a little tender now, and they will be just right tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

She first went to the sacred land of Peach Blossom Land, picked a dozen cabbages, and also picked a few early-ripening strawberries.

She plans to make braised chicken, shrimp and bok choy, steamed cod, and stir-fried squid.

I must reward myself for a good dinner today!

Needing ginger and garlic, Lu Xingchen called out in the area chat: "Who has ginger, onion, and garlic? I can exchange them for wood, iron, beef, fish, and other things."

Everyone was talking about hunting on a deserted island, and when they heard Lu Xingchen's words, they immediately changed the subject:

"Lu Xingchen, what are you doing with the ginger, onions, and garlic?"

"What can scallions, ginger, and garlic be used for? Of course, for stir-frying vegetables, especially meat dishes!"

"Jealousy! We're still eating steamed buns and bread, and Lu Xingchen is already complaining about the food, demanding scallions, ginger, and garlic. How can there be such a big difference between people?"

"Alright, alright, you can't compete with anyone else, but you have to compete with Lu Xingchen. Aren't you just looking for trouble?"

Jiang Wenming: "Hehe, at a time like this, instead of training hard and improving your physical fitness, you're just thinking about eating and drinking all day. Are you just waiting to die while hunting on the island?"

"My eating and drinking won't affect my watching you die!" Lu Xingchen said bluntly.

This Jiang Wenming is like a mad dog. She used to ignore him, but now she confronts him every time she sees him.

Soon, she received a piece of ginger, a few cloves of garlic, and two scallions.

The scallions were quite old and already had seeds, so she collected them to use as seeds.

She kept a piece of ginger and garlic each, and put them into the Peach Blossom Land together with the green onion seeds, intending to plant them together later.

With all the ingredients ready, she began to cook.

Put shredded green onion and ginger, light soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. on the cod, marinate it, and then steam it in a small steamer.

Next, make braised chicken pieces. Cut the whole chicken into pieces, wash and blanch it. Heat oil in a pot, add scallions, ginger, garlic and seasonings, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry, then add more seasonings, pour in boiling water and simmer for half an hour.

Reduce the sauce over high heat until thickened, then remove from heat.

At this time, the cod was also steamed. Lu Xingchen put the cod and braised chicken pieces in a white porcelain plate and placed it near the brazier to prevent it from getting cold.

They also steamed rice in a small pot.

Then make the stir-fried squid and bok choy.

Soon, the two dishes were ready, and the rice was also steamed.

Lu Xingchen used two plates, one for braised chicken and bok choy, and one for stir-fried squid and steamed cod. He also used a small bowl for rice, and placed two bright red strawberries on the rice.

Then she sent it to Wan Meiling.

Wan Meiling was sitting on a wooden box in a daze.

Lu Xingchen said he would treat her to a meal, so she waited.

After waiting for two hours, her stomach was already rumbling, but the food still hadn't arrived.

There were no weapons at sea, it was so boring.

At this moment, she suddenly received several private messages:

Wan Meiyun: "Little sister, I'm eating. Let me show you [simple grilled fish x1] and [hot baked steamed bun x1]."

Wan Meiyun: "Little sister, I have fish! Although I don't have any salt or seasoning, fish from the sea are delicious as long as they're grilled. Your brother-in-law has a small fishing net, and he caught some fish and gave it to me specially."

Wan Meiling didn't move.
