Chapter 208 The boss behind the scenes is so generous, won't he go bankrupt?
Zuo Shan remembered that when she was a child, in the countryside, when a child turned one month old, although there wouldn't be a big banquet, they would at least give red eggs to familiar relatives and neighbors so that everyone could share in the joy.
Of course, families that favor sons over daughters would only send red eggs when their grandsons were a month old. If it was a granddaughter, they would keep quiet and get away with it.
Later, everyone's lives improved, and the difference between boys and girls became less significant. As long as a family was relatively well-off, they would hold a full-month celebration for their child.
However, the scope of the invitation is limited to relatives and friends.
Now that her son Achen is about to turn one month old, the first thing she thought of was to give him celebratory eggs. However, the crocodile eggs in her spatial storage were too big to be suitable as celebratory eggs.
Since that's the case, let's make some round snacks with egg liquid and send some to Uncle Wu's family and Madam Gu's family to try, just to share in their joy.
Let's start with some fried meatballs: Add egg white, tapioca flour, salt, and Sichuan peppercorn powder to the ground wild boar meat, and stir in one direction until it becomes sticky.
Then add the rendered lard to the pot. Once the oil is hot, use a ladle to scoop out spoonfuls of minced meat and drop them into the pot to fry.
Fry until golden brown and remove from the oil; the fragrant meatballs are ready.
These fried meatballs can be eaten after they've cooled down, or used as a semi-finished product in a stew with vermicelli; both taste delicious.
Next, let's make an egg custard: reindeer milk, alligator egg yolks, tapioca flour, and a little bit of precious sugar made from sweet radishes. Pour it into a pot and stir hard over low heat. After five minutes, stir until thickened, pour it out onto a tray, let it cool, and then cut it into pieces.
Let's make another egg dumpling: First, prepare the filling by mixing shepherd's purse, wild boar meat, and minced crocodile meat with salt.
Take some more egg liquid, add a little salt and stir well. Heat a frying pan, grease it, pour in the egg liquid and spread it evenly with a spoon to form a thin egg crepe.
Place the minced meat in the center of the egg crepe, gently lift one side of the crepe with a spatula to wrap the minced meat, and then gently press the edges to ensure the crepe is completely sealed.
Steam the wrapped egg dumplings for 15 minutes, and the fragrant, golden egg dumplings are ready!
Finally, let's have some boiled locust bean fruit. This is the simplest dish. Just boil it in boiling water, add some salt and Sichuan peppercorn powder, and you're done. It has a soft texture and tastes pretty good.
The four main courses were already quite substantial. Zuo Shan also took some mutated peanuts, mashed them, added some reindeer milk, and cooked them together. The milk was rich and fragrant with a hint of peanut aroma. It was so delicious that you would want to drink it again and again!
Having prepared four dishes and a soup, Zuo Shan stored the finished products in his spatial storage, waiting to serve them to the guests just before they arrived.
When Zuo Shan heard the knocking, he thought it was Old Madam Gu and the others. But when he opened the door, he was surprised to find it was Linghu Yi, the Hurricane Messenger No. 48!
"Number 48? How come it's you? Shouldn't you contact the customer before coming to their home?" Zuo Shan asked, puzzled.
"Today is a special occasion. As one of the most active members of the Ninth Forum recently, your son is one month old, and our forum will be sending you a baby toy as a congratulatory gift!"
Linghu Yi lied without blinking, then took out a sphere the size of a yoga ball from his spatial button. It looked like a large rubber ball, and the material of the surface felt like rubber.
There is a red dot in the middle of the sphere. When you press it, the sphere begins to deform and quickly assembles into a toy car that can seat a child under ten years old.
Pressing another purple button transforms the toy car into a small flying vehicle, which can comfortably seat two adults.
Finally, a bright blue button was pressed, and a large orange balloon appeared under the aircraft, instantly transforming it into a lifeboat.
Left Fan: Brother, are you sure this is just a baby toy? Whose baby plays with this so much?
"So, how much is this toy actually worth? With such a large investment, aren't you afraid the boss behind it will go bankrupt?" Zuo Shan asked with a puzzled look after his initial shock.
The behind-the-scenes boss, Linghu Yi, said: "He only gave away one item to thousands of users. He is far from going bankrupt."
Linghu Yi realized that this woman was indeed extraordinary. Shouldn't an ordinary person be overjoyed and excited after getting such a great deal? How could she be so calm?
Left Fan: No, no, no, she's not calm at all!
In fact, she was stunned by the high technology and couldn't understand how this wasteland world, which lacked food and clothing on one hand, could have such advanced technology on the other. How did they manage to be so contradictory yet unified?
However, to make the gift seem more plausible, he continued to fabricate: "Actually, this toy is a new product from a toy company in the central district."
They wanted to collaborate with our Ninth Forum and asked us to help promote their products, so they sent us a few samples.
It just so happens that very few of our members have children, and none of them have children's birthdays. Considering everything, your baby's one-month celebration is the perfect occasion for this gift.
"So, it was Mr. Linghu who helped me secure this benefit?" Zuo Shan asked after his mind raced.
Linghu Yi: No one else has this right except him.
"Well, sort of. I just mentioned your baby's birthday when the boss brought it up. I didn't expect the boss to make a special exception." Linghu Yi's lie was almost the truth.
"I'll remember this favor, thank you so much! Mr. Linghu, it's better to meet by chance than by invitation. Since you've come all the way to my baby's full moon celebration, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?" Zuo Shan smiled genuinely.
Linghu Yi nodded naturally: This meal wasn't easy to get; he gave away an expensive toy worth 2.6 million!
The expensive toy was restored to a large ball by the left fan and a child lock was installed. For the time being, it was just used as a ball and stuffed into the crib. Ah Chen was having a great time playing with the large ball, kicking his two little feet on it.
The aroma of the four dishes and soup that had just been laid out on the table filled the entire house, and Linghu Yi barely managed to resist swallowing his saliva.
He was especially looking forward to the other guests arriving soon, so he wouldn't have to keep craning his neck to wait for the meal to start.
The courtyard gate was knocked on again, and Linghu Yi's face lit up with joy as he saw Zuo Shan running to open the door.
The door opened, and the three people who entered left Linghu Yi completely puzzled!
