The group chatted happily for a long time, and finally Su Ye made a cheerful suggestion:
"It's great news that the vice-captain has regained his appearance. Shall we celebrate today?" The teammate was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
As the captain and Wan'er's boyfriend, Junjue smiled and nodded, saying:
"Wan'er has finally regained her appearance, so we should definitely celebrate. Everyone should take a day off today."
Let's cook a big meal to celebrate!
Wan'er blushed slightly and said modestly, "It is all thanks to everyone's care and help that I have undergone such a change."
Upon hearing their captain's words, Di Zhantian, Dongfang Ao, Ye Yuan, Yue Ying, Yue Chi, and Chen Fan excitedly went to the warehouse to prepare various delicacies and make a big feast to celebrate.
They were excitedly thinking about what dishes to make and what ingredients to prepare.
"I'll take charge of cooking the main course!" Yue Ying exclaimed excitedly.
"I'll be in charge of preparing the desserts!" Yue Chi chimed in cheerfully.
"I can make some snacks and drinks," Ye Yuan offered eagerly.
“I can help out!” Chen Fan recommended.
"I can do odd jobs!" Di Zhantian said embarrassedly, as he couldn't cook and could only do odd jobs.
Everyone shared their expertise, and the team worked together, creating a lively atmosphere.
Emperor Zhantian carefully selected the freshest ingredients, believing that only by using the best raw materials could the most delicious dishes be prepared.
Ye Yuan grabbed several large lobsters and king crabs in one hand and said excitedly:
"How can a celebration be complete without delicious seafood!" After saying that, he ran to the warehouse to get sea cucumbers, abalone, oysters, and other delicacies.
A group of teammates looked at the guy who seemed to love seafood more than anything and shook their heads helplessly.
"Captain, let me help you." Di Zhantian's eyes widened as he quickly began preparing the ingredients.
"Do what you want! If you like to tinker, then go ahead and do it."
After Junjue finished speaking, he looked at his teammates' fully engaged expressions and was filled with emotion.
He knew that all of this was not just to celebrate Wan'er's recovery, but also to express her teammates' blessings and care.
Butler Zhao stared in disbelief as he watched the group of young masters cooking, then walked over to take over, exclaiming, "Oh dear! How could I let you cook!"
Let me handle this; I'm a professional.
And how could I be absent from celebrating Miss Shangguan's birthday!
“Well… alright then! Butler Zhao, we’ll assist you!” Yue Ying said, yielding her position.
"Me too!"
A group of people ran off to prepare seafood, vegetables, meat, and other food.
In the kitchen, everyone busily picked up knives and skillfully processed the ingredients.
Di Zhantian and Dongfang Ao were in charge of chopping vegetables. Although they were not very skilled at it, they were able to get the hang of it quickly after learning carefully.
Yue Ying focused intently on helping Butler Zhao prepare the seasonings; they understood the nuances of flavor. Ye Yuan and Chen Fan, on the other hand, were in charge of preparing the barbecue, gently grilling the fragrant slices of meat on the hot pot.
Yuechi is making an exquisite cream cake.
In an instant, the entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of rice and meat, making one's mouth water.
Bathed in the glow of the fire, everyone laughed and chatted, sharing their feelings and thoughts. They talked about the trials and tribulations of the past, and marveled at Wan'er's perseverance and hard work during this time.
In the large kitchen, a group of people worked closely together, their laughter and aromas mingling together. They shared culinary experiences and the little things in life, becoming like a warm, close-knit family.
Under the skillful hands of Butler Zhao, the food gradually took on a colorful appearance.
Before the main course was served, Yue Ying first used a carving knife to carve a lifelike floral pattern on a wooden board as decoration.
Di Zhantian gently patted Junjue on the shoulder and smiled, "Captain, you've really had a tough time! You've waited for the vice-captain for so long and accompanied him through these difficult days. Finally, the hard times are over."
Junjue smiled and nodded, his eyes full of doting and tenderness: "Wan'er is the most important person to me, and I will always protect her."
Su Ye playfully interjected, "However, now that Wan'er is so beautiful, Captain, you'd better be careful, lest another wave of suitors come your way."
Everyone laughed at Su Ye's teasing. They all knew in unison that his mischief was just to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Don't worry! That bastard dares to make a move on Wan'er, I'll make him regret it," Junjue said coldly.
Upon hearing the captain's words, the group instantly felt a chill.
Yue Ying pushed a plate of delicious-looking braised beef in wine onto the table and nodded with satisfaction: "In about ten minutes, we can start setting the table with food. Is everyone ready?"
Everyone cheered and stopped what they were doing, filling the kitchen with a joyful atmosphere.
That evening, everyone sat around the table, enjoying a variety of carefully prepared dishes. Braised pork belly, Kung Pao chicken, steamed fish, spicy hot pot, boiled beef, steak, sea cucumber and abalone soup, Australian lobster, king crab, vegetables, desserts, and other delicacies filled the table.
"As expected of Steward Zhao's skills, I am truly impressed!" Yue Chi said with admiration as he ate the delicious food.
She can only cook some local delicacies; she can't handle more elaborate dishes.
"The food prepared by Steward Zhao is indeed delicious!" The group nodded in agreement.
"As long as everyone thinks it tastes good, then my cooking has meaning," said Butler Zhao modestly.
"Uncle Zhao, why don't you sit down and eat something too? Don't just stand there," Shangguan Wan'er suggested.
“This…” Butler Zhao glanced at the young master’s seat and was about to leave when he was stopped.
Junjue felt Wan'er glance at him and said helplessly, "Uncle Zhao, you've worked hard. Sit down and have something to eat with us!"
"Yes, Uncle Zhao, please sit down and eat with us!"
Others also tried to persuade him.
"Butler Zhao, what era are we living in? Forget about all the formalities, sit down and celebrate with us!"
“Yes! Butler Zhao, please sit down quickly, I’ve already prepared the bowls and chopsticks for you.” Su Ye said, pulling the other person down to sit.
"Alright!" Butler Zhao felt the enthusiasm of so many people and joined in the atmosphere.
Everyone ate and chatted, sharing their stories and insights.
They are teammates, but more importantly, they are close friends. The sense of connection between them makes them feel grounded and happy.
Di Zhantian raised his wine glass and looked at Wan'er happily, saying, "Vice Captain, congratulations on your recovery. Although we have experienced many difficulties in the battle, seeing you regain your appearance makes all our efforts worthwhile."
Wan'er smiled and raised her glass to express her gratitude to everyone: "Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
The table was laden with dishes, their aroma filling the air. Everyone sat down, raised their glasses, and sang together, offering their blessings for Wan'er's recovery.
"Wan'er, a new beginning, a new look! Let us share your joy and happiness together!" Junjue raised his glass, his eyes filled with affection.
"Miss Shangguan, I wish you a happier and more joyful life ahead," Butler Zhao said happily.
