Seeing that the crabs were fried, Fu Wan threw in the chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic, then added a splash of Shaoxing wine and some hot water from the back pot, making the aroma even stronger.
Fu Ming was already impatiently waiting for the aroma to fill the air.
He found a pair of chopsticks and stood by the stove, his greedy look making Fu Wan feel disgusted.
"Brother, what are you doing? You're acting like you've never eaten a mud crab before!"
"Oh, you don't understand, I feel that today's crabs are much more fragrant than before."
I need to grab one and try it first, otherwise those animals will definitely snatch them all up as soon as they're on the table!
Fu Ming argued vehemently that he was referring to Jack and his two companions as "animals." He explained that they had finished every last meal, including the soup, without even leaving a trace.
I've been away for more than ten days and I really miss home-cooked meals.
Although Shanghai and Beijing are bustling cities, the food there is really not as good as at home. Fu Ming only had two decent meals at Ning Sanye's and Sun Youjin's restaurants. He doesn't want to recall the meals he ate after that.
Considering the large number of people, in addition to the mud crabs, Fu Wan also fried a bowl of red-shelled crabs and stone crabs.
When the broth in the pot had reduced to almost nothing, Fu Ming, who had been waiting for a long time, took out the large basin he had prepared.
Calling it a basin wouldn't be an exaggeration; it's only slightly smaller than a regular enamel basin, but considerably larger than a plate.
"Oh, that's finally done! Let me try it!"
After Fu Wan scooped the crabs out of the pot, Fu Ming couldn't wait to rush over with his chopsticks.
The crab was still steaming hot, and it made him hiss and gasp.
Even so, he was unwilling to give up the crab in his hand. Taking a bite made him so satisfied that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Ah, this is the taste!
Extremely fresh and fragrant!
"Ah, I wish your sister-in-law were back. She loves eating crabs the most!"
Fu Ming couldn't help but sigh. Just as he finished speaking, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu rushed into the courtyard like a gust of wind.
"Uncle, Auntie is back! Auntie is back!"
"Mommy, Uncle Xiaobai is back too! Come out quickly!"
At the same time, the barking of Dahuang and Yuanbao could be heard outside. Fu Ming's eyes lit up, and he dropped the crab and ran outside.
Fu Wan had just heated the pan, so she quickly scooped in a spoonful of lard and hurried to the kitchen door.
"Ah Wan!"
"Ah Wan!"
It really was Qin Anning and Bai Qianzhou, carrying large and small bags, clearly heading to the county supply and marketing cooperative.
"You're finally back! You've all lost weight!"
Fu Wan frowned. The two of them had not only lost weight, but also gotten much darker. They looked like they had been working very hard lately.
"Hehe, I went out and did something big, it smells so good, Wan, is there something delicious for lunch?"
Qin Anning handed the things to Fu Ming, then took Fu Wan's hand.
Fu Wan felt a pang of heartache when she touched the calluses on her hands.
She remembered that Qin Anning's hands didn't have such obvious calluses last time, which showed that she had worked very hard for the important matter she mentioned!
However, judging from Qin Anning's beaming face, the outcome of the matter must have been very good.
Fu Wan didn't ask too many questions about matters involving confidentiality, and Ye Xiaocui couldn't hide her smile when she saw her daughter-in-law return.
"Awan, I'll cook the rest of the dishes. You, Anning, and Xiaobai can go out and sit for a while."
Fu Wan didn't refuse and handed over the spatula.
There are four dishes left. The steamed grouper and the others are already cooked, so only a few vegetarian dishes are left.
Ye Xiaocui didn't even need to lift a finger. Seeing that his wife Fu Ming had lost a lot of weight, she rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen.
With chicken soup available, the rockfish we caught this morning weren't used for soup; they were stewed with the other miscellaneous fish.
Add two more scrambled eggs, and it's both nutritious and goes perfectly with rice!
He also boiled the mantis shrimp that his wife loved to eat. For a while, Fu Ming was busy running around in circles.
Ye Xiaocui shook her head in disgust, while Jiang Chunlan and Wang Huiping couldn't help but chuckle.
I never expected Fu Ming to act like this in front of his wife.
Fu Wan looked around carefully and found that Bai Qianzhou and Qin Anning had no signs of injury. After sitting down, seeing that no one was around, Bai Qianzhou told her about handing over the gold needles and medical books.
The original medical books were sent to the capital, but Bai Qianzhou copied them out and kept them for his own study.
As for the gold needle, it was an antique after all, and even with Sun Shao-ping as guarantor, it was ultimately not preserved.
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou were already mentally prepared for this. Being able to save Sun Shao Ping with the golden needles was already a very lucky thing.
"So how many days off do you have this time?"
Fu Wan poured them a glass of water. Qin Anning picked it up, took a sip, and then winked at Fu Wan.
"Commander Sun went to Beijing for business for a week, so we took the opportunity to take a break and catch our breath."
"Ah Wan, just wait patiently. Commander Sun will definitely bring you good news when he returns this time."
"Give me?"
Fu Wan was somewhat surprised, and Bai Qianzhou nodded and continued the conversation.
"The commander is going to receive an award. You also made a great contribution to our mission this time."
"Because of the gold needles?"
Fu Wan was somewhat confused. Even if the golden needles saved Sun Shao-ping's life, it shouldn't have much to do with this shared achievement.
Bai Qianzhou couldn't help but smile at her confused look.
She's always like this, completely forgetting the good deeds she's done.
"Have you forgotten about those two big guys from before?"
If it weren't for those two big guys, Anning and her team wouldn't have been able to master the relevant technology so quickly and thus replicate the new big treasure.
These items played a significant role in this mission.
Qin Anning nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, it's a pity you didn't go, Awan, otherwise you would have definitely seen how we beat those people to a pulp!"
The enemy had American sponsorship, but whether it was American laziness or overconfidence, the torpedoes they received happened to be about 80% similar to the ones they had, so the enemy easily intercepted them.
Since Jack and the others were still outside, Qin Anning couldn't say the specifics, but these few words were enough for Fu Wan to understand the general course of events.
Knowing that the torpedo she retrieved had made such a great contribution, Fu Wan was overjoyed. Such an achievement made her rebirth worthwhile!
The three chatted for less than ten minutes before Fu San entered the room carrying a bottle of Wuliangye liquor. He had secretly bought the liquor in the county town a while ago and planned to find an opportunity to try it with Boss Fu.
Although Wuliangye was not as expensive as Moutai in the late 1980s, a 500ml bottle still cost 35 yuan. Fu San would not have been willing to take out this liquor for anyone else. It was only with Fu Laoda that he could be so generous.
Soon, the dishes from the kitchen were brought out one after another. There were so many people that one table couldn't accommodate everyone. Fortunately, there was a small square table in Boss Fu's room, which they could use to set up a second table.
