From then on, no one mentioned her priceless jade bracelet anymore.
Of course, those things wouldn't have happened if Yunchuan had taken off the jade bracelet, but he couldn't take it off once he put it on, unless he smashed it. But it was worth millions, so Ye Fanzhi couldn't bear to smash it, so she could only wear the expensive jade bracelet like this every day.
Lin Can had really intended to give them something, but the aunts were reluctant to let him spend money, so he gave up.
…
Vegetable market.
The four aunts went to buy groceries separately. They tacitly excluded pork because Xia Mu and her daughter did not eat pork and they respected their beliefs.
Lin Can glanced at the three aunties who were buying vegetables at various stalls. They were very skilled and had a way of bargaining. Finally, he looked at Ye Fanzhi, who was standing in front of the stall with her mobile phone, reading the menu, and the boss was helping her get the vegetables.
Lin Can walked up and asked: "Aunt Fanzhi, what are you looking at?"
Ye Fanzhi paused: "Reply to WeChat, carry the vegetables, and go ahead."
"Okay." Lin Can walked ahead carrying the vegetables. "Aunt Fanzhi, what should we buy next?"
"Buy..." Ye Fanzhi continued to look at the menu on her mobile phone behind Lin Can. It said that Mapo Tofu needs to be paired with garlic sprouts to be fragrant.
"Garlic sprouts."
"oh?"
Lin Can turned around and saw Ye Fanzhi grabbing a handful of leeks from the vegetable stall next to him and handing them to the owner.
"Aunt Fanzhi, these are leeks, not garlic sprouts."
"...I'm planning on making another fried egg with chives, is that okay?"
Ye Fanzhi's mind was still working pretty quickly. She realized she had ordered the wrong dish and immediately ordered more.
However, Ye Fanzhi's face was as cold as ice, and she didn't even look at Lin Can. If it weren't for him, how could I have added scrambled eggs with leeks? But this dish is not difficult. First add the leeks and then the eggs. Stir-fry them for a few times and you can serve it.
Confirm that the order is correct, should I put the chives first and then the eggs?
"Xiaocan, could you please stop following me and go check on them?"
Ye Fanzhi felt uncomfortable with Lin Can around, and she didn't want to add more dishes.
"Okay, I'll go see them."
After Lin Can left, Ye Fanzhi took out her cell phone again and bought groceries according to the recipe.
More than ten minutes later, Ye Fanzhi was the last one to come out of the entrance of the grass market. She took a taxi back home. The four women tied on aprons and started the cooking competition. Ye Fanzhi was not completely ignorant. She was very skilled in cutting and picking vegetables. She just seldom cooked because she was too busy. She could cook simple dishes and clean up the mess. She didn't have the time to do housework like cooking.
Ye Fanzhi's Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao Chicken are the simplest fast foods, so they are placed last. The housewives show their cooking skills first. Fortunately, this family has two kitchens, and both the Chinese kitchen and the Western kitchen have stoves that can be used.
Ye Fanzhi did not go to watch them demonstrate their cooking skills. Instead, she sat on the sofa, biting her fingers, concentrating on studying the cooking methods of the chefs on Douyin.
[Hello everyone, I'm Wang Gang. In this video, I'm going to show you Mapo Tofu. First, the first step...]
Ye Fanzhi watched very seriously. She didn’t want to lose. That’s just her personality. I may not be able to do it, but I will try my best.
Lin Can didn't bother her, but helped a few aunts by passing condiments and tasting the food, which gradually brought them closer.
Time ticks away, and delicious dishes are served on the table.
"Fanzhi, it's your turn."
"……good."
Ye Fanzhi turned off the screen of her phone and stood up. Lin Can stretched his hands towards the wall. Ye Fanzhi grabbed them and tied them around his body, looking like a real chef.
Everyone gathered around Ye Fanzhi.
Ye Fanzhi smiled while holding the spatula: "Moms, why don't you go out first? It's really stressful for me to watch you like this."
"Okay, take your time, we're waiting for your Sichuan cuisine."
The three aunts went out.
Ye Fanzhi's face fell. She supported herself on the kitchen counter with one hand, put the other on her waist, and tilted her head to look at Lin Can.
"Mr. Lin, please get out."
"I'm here to check on you. I know whether you can cook or not."
"...I don't need you to check it. I've rehearsed it in my head hundreds of times."
"Okay, okay, I'm out."
Lin Can went out and closed the sliding door.
Soon, there was a "hiss" sound from the kitchen. The oil in the wok was heated and Ye Fanzhi started busying herself inside. Then the fire was stopped. Then she looked at the wok and the dishes next to it in front of the kitchen counter. It seemed like she was actually cooking, but suddenly the order was finished.
Lin Can was eating melon seeds and chatting with the three aunts in the living room, waiting for Chu Qingning and the others to come back.
Lin Can glanced at the kitchen and saw that Ye Fanzhi didn't move, but was looking at her, obviously asking for something.
Lin Can came to the kitchen: "What's wrong?"
"Go get me the phone."
"If you forgot which order, just tell me directly."
"No need for your help, just give me the phone."
"Hey, tell me, Aunt Fanzhi, why are you so stubborn?"
"...this." Ye Fanzhi pointed at the pot, "The meat is fried until it turns red. I don't know what went wrong."
Lin Can chuckled.
Ye Fanzhi was hurt again and turned around to go out to get her phone. Lin Can quickly stopped her: "I'm not laughing at you. I just wanted to say that you were too nervous. You forgot to put the broad bean paste in. Without the broad bean paste, how can you stir-fry the oil into red oil?"
"Fermented black beans? Oh, yeah, I didn't put any in there. You can go out now. I know how to make it."
“…Okay, okay.”
After Lin Can left, Ye Fanzhi heated up the oil in the pan again and started cooking.
…
More than ten minutes later.
Ding Dong~
The door rang.
Lin Can went up to open the door.
The four little ones smelled a fragrance as soon as they entered the house.
"Wow~ It smells so good, and there's a table full of delicious food."
"Yes, your mother gave you a seat. Wait a minute, Aunt Fanzhi is frying Kung Pao Chicken."
"Kung Pao Chicken?" Chu Qingning stared towards the kitchen with wide eyes.
Lin Can: "Today's Mom's Homemade Cooking Competition will select the first, second, third, and fourth places. Whoever comes in fourth will be punished, mother and daughter."
Chu Qingning: "The competition you organized?"
Lin Can scratched his head: "Just for fun."
Chu Qingning: ...
At this time, Ye Fanzhi had fried the Kung Pao Chicken and brought it out to the table. The color looked very good.
Ye Fanzhi lifted her hair and said proudly, "It's very simple. First place is a sure thing. Xiaocan, tell me, how do we compete?"
Lin Can said, "Because these are local delicacies made by the mothers, guessing who made them is totally unfeasible. We'll just eat the dishes in the most authentic way. Whoever has the most leftovers loses. That's fair, right? If you don't want to lose, eat as much as you can."
Ye Fanzhi: "We've finished eating and the plates are all empty. How do we calculate it?"
Lin Can: "Then even if I lose, I will wash the dishes."
Ye Fanzhi: "Okay, you're doomed. Come on, Qing Ning, open your mouth. Ah~ try the Mapo Tofu made by mom."
Ye Fanzhi picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu and fed it to Chu Qingning. As Chu Qingning chewed it, her eyes lit up.
Ye Fanzhi asked excitedly, "Is it delicious? Come on, is it so delicious that words can't describe it?"
