Chu Yanzhi and Shen Junyan looked at each other. Huang Wanzhen looked at their expressions and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. "You two don't know this either, do you?"

As it turned out, the two of them really didn't know.

Sir John and John Bella were surrounded by people, and all three of them were huddled in a corner without moving.

Although Huang Wanzhen was confident that she could squeeze through the crowd and get in front of Miss Bella, she was afraid that some of the people she squeezed out might hold a grudge against her, which would be counterproductive.

Chu Yanzhi and Shen Junyan felt that it was unnecessary. They were colleagues and saw each other every day in the hospital. They could improve communication and keep in touch at any time.

Sir John and his beloved daughter came and left in a hurry. They came at ten o'clock and left before eleven. After that, the party seemed to have lost its fun and everyone dispersed one after another.

Huang Wanzhen was a man of action. Early the next morning, she instructed Yuya, "Go to the foreign store and buy some beef and butter. Fry them for me. I'll come back for them at noon."

Although Yuya had learned how to stew beef from Chen Yumei, she had never fried beef before. "I don't know how to fry beef."

"It's okay, just fry it until it's cooked through." Then Huang Wanzhen thought of the fact that foreigners don't like overcooked steaks. Chu Yanzhi studied abroad and might not like it overcooked either, so she changed her mind and said, "Buy a few more pieces. It doesn't matter whether they're cooked or not, as long as they're not burnt."

Yuya said with some embarrassment, "Beef is very expensive, and it's even more expensive in foreign stores. What if I don't handle it well and ruin it?"

"It's okay, just do it. If it gets messed up, it's my fault."

Huang Wanzhen's words were simple, but they made Yuya very embarrassed.

She hurried back to the kitchen and ate a few mouthfuls of rice. She took out the purse for buying vegetables and counted it. It was one dollar and seventy cents. If she were to buy vegetables normally, it would be a huge sum of money. But Yuya knew that the things in that foreign store were incredibly expensive, so she had to go find Mrs. Huang again.

When Mrs. Huang heard it was her precious daughter's request, she generously took out two silver dollars. However, Yu Ya didn't take it. Instead, she looked at Mrs. Huang with embarrassment, "Aunt, I see that the young lady takes this very seriously. I'm afraid it will be very useful. What if she's inviting some important person to eat fried beef? If I don't handle it well, it would be bad if it delays her important event."

"You've eaten more salt than I've eaten rice. Could you please help me take a look at it?"

Huang Dongshi was a bit timid when she heard about dealing with foreigners. Foreigners were considered high-ranking people in Beijing. Even the patrolmen wouldn't dare intervene if they beat people up in the street. But her daughter's important matter couldn't be delayed. After much deliberation, Huang Dongshi went to the shop to find Xiulan.

When Xiulan heard that it was the young lady's order, she had to do it.

The three of them, each carrying a basket, came to the foreign shop on Dengshikou Street.

The plaque on the door was in foreign language, which the three of them didn't understand, so they held each other's hands and walked in.

When they got inside, they saw that they were Chinese and they were delighted.

"Brother, give us a few more pieces of beef and butter. My daughter is going to treat everyone to fried beef." Mrs. Huang said happily.

The clerk knew what they wanted as soon as he heard it, and took them to a shelf. "I cut all of this this morning, so it's guaranteed to be fresh. These are the tenderloins, these are the sirloins, these are the sirloins, these are the ox eyes, and this is the sirloin..."

After all this talk, the Huang and Dong clans were confused. "With so many, where should we buy them?"

The guy suggested, "There are three price points. How about we give you one of each?"

Yuya looked up at Mrs. Huang and said, "Miss, can you buy a few more? Will three be enough?"

Huang Dong waved his hand and said, "Six pieces!"

When the three of them went out, Mrs. Huang held her wallet in pain. This trip cost her a total of five dollars. The steak alone cost four dollars and sixty cents. She used the remaining forty cents to buy a small piece of butter.

"Yuya, you have to fry it carefully, don't burn it!"

Yu Ya, who was already under a lot of pressure, became even more nervous after hearing what Huang Dongshi said, "Hmm..."

When Huang Wanzhen came back at noon, she didn't even look at the food. She picked up the lunch box and went out. Time was tight and the task was heavy, so Huang Wanzhen was a little extravagant this time. She called a car on the street and drove away.

When Mrs. Huang asked Yuya, she shook her head in confusion. "She didn't say anything, didn't even open it to look. She just picked it up, went out, hailed a car, the kind that flies, and left."

"Is it the kind of car that sprays gas that smells really good?" Mrs. Huang asked loudly.

Yuya nodded heavily, "Yes, it's that kind. I heard it's much more expensive than taking a rickshaw."

"Well, she must be going to do something big." Huang Dong said affirmatively, "The shop is going to make a lot of money now. It's not easy for her to run a shop at such a young age. Make her some pigeon soup tonight to nourish her."

"Okay." Yu Ya agreed immediately. Pigeon soup was easy, she had cooked it before. As long as it was not foreign stuff, she was fine.

Huang Wanzhen secretly opened the lunch box in the car and took a look. Seeing that it was not burnt and was still warm, she nodded with satisfaction.

She was satisfied, but Chu Yanzhi was very dissatisfied. "What kind of thing did you make? It's too woody, the fire is too high, and there is too little oil."

Shen Junyan took one bite after another, "Okay, it's her first time making it too, I think it's okay, if you don't want to eat it, give it to me and go to the cafeteria."

Chu Yanzhi knocked down his outstretched hand and said, "Get out of here! Two pieces aren't enough for you? Are you a pig?"

"Chu Yanzhi, you can talk but you can't scold me. If you do this again next time, I will be angry with you." Shen Junyan put down his chopsticks and looked at Chu Yanzhi with a serious expression.

Chu Yanzhi pushed him and said, "Okay, I got it. There's no beef in the cafeteria. I've been working for half a day and I'm already hungry."

After saying that, he also started eating with big mouthfuls.

Huang Wanzhen ignored the lawsuit between the two. Ever since she started practicing martial arts, she became hungry very quickly and her appetite increased a lot.

Huang Wanzhen quickly finished the steak in the lunch box. It was quite to her taste. She liked to eat this kind of well-cooked meat.

After dinner, Huang Wanzhen didn’t stay long as she had to go back to school for classes.

"Excuse me, Dr. Chu. Once the gun license comes out, please call me and I'll come get it."

Huang Wanzhen was packing up her lunch box quickly, and Chu Yanzhi quickly stopped her, "Wait a minute, you have to let me see your pistol. There's no information, what can I do for you?"

"Oh! I didn't bring it."

Chu Yanzhi glared at her, "You bought a gun but don't use it, what's the point of buying it? Are you wasting money on playing with it?"

Shen Junyan tried to smooth things over, "Okay, she's just a little girl, don't be so harsh."

"Wanzhen, this Sunday is the day for our monthly salon. Bring the gun to my house and let Yanzhi take a look."

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Shen." Huang Wanzhen hurriedly packed up the lunch box, picked it up, waved her hand, and ran out.

"Hmph! It was clearly me who helped her, but you keep pretending to be a good person. She only remembers your kindness and thanks you." Chu Yanzhi said angrily.
