After Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran finished picking pine mushrooms, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, so they hurried home.
I have to go home and cook quickly, otherwise it will be too late.
As soon as she got home, Zhang Tiantian called the system.
"Tongzi, can you prepare the pheasant and bring it out?"
"Tiantian, sure, the system will handle it very cleanly. It can even chop the pheasant into small pieces and clean the pine mushrooms. It just can't cook."
"Tongzi, you can't eat, so it's normal that you can't cook."
Gu Ranran thought for a moment and then asked the system: "Tongzi, can you dry the pine fungus?"
"Ranran, yes, the system can use energy to dry the pine mushrooms."
"Tongzi, when you use energy, do you lose energy? Do you lose a little energy each time you use it?"
"Ranran, the system's energy won't be lost, and it won't decrease even if you use it. The system's energy is updated once a month. The main system will recharge the system based on the working conditions. As long as the energy is recharged, the energy level won't change during the month."
"Tongzi, if we do anything that's detrimental to the balance of this space-time, please remind us immediately. If there's anything Tiantian and I need to do, please let us know. We'll do our best to ensure the system is fully charged every month."
Now the system will process the pheasant and clean the pine mushrooms first. There's no rush to dry the mushrooms. Just dry half of them and keep the other half for fresh consumption."
"Ranran, Tiantian, I promise to complete the task. The system is very fast."
"Tongzi, wash more pine mushrooms, there are more of us."
"Tiantian, besides making pine mushroom stewed chicken, what else should we make?"
"Ranran, let's just make some hot and sour potato shreds and stir-fry some wild vegetables. I'll go cook the rice first, and you can scrape the potatoes and cut them into shreds. Mine aren't as fine as yours."
Zhang Tiantian went to light the fire and cook. Once the rice was cooked, the system prepared the pheasant and cleaned the pine mushrooms.
"Tongzi, you're amazing. You're done so quickly. Can you help me clean the wild vegetables? Ranran and I are too busy."
"Tiantian, it's OK. Just hand the vegetables to the system and it will wash them in the space."
Zhang Tiantian was about to start making pine mushroom stewed chicken, so she first lit the fire on another stove.
After Zhang Tiantian fried the pheasant meat, she called Gu Ranran.
"Ranran, come here quickly! Let's do it together. It's been a while since I made pine mushroom stewed chicken. I'm afraid it won't be done well and it will be wasted."
"Tiantian, don't be afraid. Just do it and I'll watch. If you make a mistake, I'll remind you."
"Okay, Ranran, I feel at ease with you by my side. First, pour the oil and fry the pheasant, then add the seasoning and chili peppers. Ranran, I'm going to add water."
"Tiantian, you forgot to put soy sauce and vinegar."
"Oh, yes, there are still soy sauce and vinegar left. Once the soy sauce and vinegar are added, add water and stew the pheasant for a while before adding the mushrooms."
"Tiantian, I've cut my potatoes into shreds. Is your rice ready?"
Zhang Tiantian looked at the cooked rice and said, "Ranran, the rice is ready. Look, this is rice soup, not bad. My rice is also good. Ranran, you can stir-fry the shredded potatoes, and I'll light the fire for you."
"Okay, Tiantian, let's keep the fire down for now."
Gu Ranran quickly fried the shredded potatoes.
"Tiantian, I'll continue stir-frying the wild vegetables. You put the pine mushrooms in the pot and stew them with the pheasant."
Gu Ranran has fried the wild vegetables and stewed the chicken with pine mushrooms.
"Ranran, we're both amazing! Every dish looks delicious. We have a big pot of pine mushroom stewed chicken. Why don't we serve some to Lu Jiang and Lu Hai as a midnight snack? Did you forget they said last night that they would wait for us on the way back to the Youth League Institute tonight?"
"Okay, Tiantian, I'll go get the lunch box. You can first put the portion for your brothers in bowls."
Before Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran had finished serving the dishes, Zhang's mother came back. She smelled the fragrance at the door and walked into the kitchen anxiously.
"Tiantian, Ranran, what did you do? It smells so good, I could smell it as soon as I walked in."
"Mom, Ranran and I made pheasant stewed with pine mushrooms, spicy and sour potato shreds, and stir-fried wild vegetables. Ranran and I picked the pine mushrooms when we went out to play this afternoon. The pheasant was given to us by Lu Hai and Lu Jiang."
"Tiantian, Ranran, you are amazing. You made it so delicious."
"Mom, it was all done by Ranran. I just helped, I lit the fire, washed the pine mushrooms and the wild vegetables."
"Tiantian and Ranran have worked hard, but why are there so many bowls of this pine mushroom stewed chicken?"
"Mom, we filled four large bowls and two lunch boxes. We'll eat one bowl, and the other three bowls are for my brothers. The two lunch boxes are for Lu Hai and Lu Jiang."
"It's great that we're sweet and still thinking about our brothers."
"Mom, my brothers have been very good to me since I was little. Even though we've separated, they're still my brothers. As long as they're doing well, it doesn't matter whether we're separated or not, since we still don't live together. Mom, don't be sad about the separation. As long as my brothers and we're doing well, that's all that matters."
"Yes, as long as we live well, it's fine. We Tiantian have grown up. Your brothers should be having dinner. I just came back and the food has been served. Your brothers are back too. This is what you and Ranran made. You can give it to your brothers. They will definitely be happy to see you delivering it."
Zhang's mother put three bowls of pine mushroom stewed chicken on a tray and handed it to Zhang Tiantian.
Zhang Tiantian went to deliver the pine mushroom stewed chicken, and Zhang's mother and Gu Ranran started serving the dishes.
"Ran Ran, when will Lu Hai and Lu Jiang's pine mushroom stewed chicken be delivered?"
"Auntie, give it to them at night as a midnight snack."
