Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 991 A Mentally Ill Person's Broad Thinking, A Weekend of Culinary Delights (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets: 3K Chapters)

"what happened?"

Ma Wenying looked curiously at Hu Daohu and Huang Huijie, whose faces had suddenly darkened. Not knowing what was going on inside, she thought she had said something wrong.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just remembered a relative of mine. The couple couldn't conceive for a long time, and after looking for many reasons, they realized that the real reason might be that the perfume and fragrance someone gave them contained musk." Old Hu forced a smile and explained to Ma Wenying.

Even Huang Huijie forced a smile and nodded at this moment.

After hearing this, Ma Wenying shook her head:
"That's impossible. You can't get pregnant unless you keep using musk."

"Who keeps sending musk perfume as a gift?"

She paused after speaking, and then said:
"Unless... unless someone deliberately doesn't want them to get pregnant."

This left Old Hu and his wife speechless.

Then Ma Wenying pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said:
"But then again, who wouldn't want someone to get pregnant all the time? That's just too strange!"

Huang Huijie nodded:
"Hehe...yes, that's really strange!"

"..." The atmosphere at the scene instantly became heavy.

Most of the people present knew about the Hu family's secrets, and seeing the expressions of the two men, they clearly linked the "murderer" to musk.

They had previously suspected that birth control pills had been added to their food, but now it seems that someone may have secretly used musk.

The Hu couple were deeply moved.

Just then, Fang Yan spoke up:

"Let bygones be bygones; the most important thing now is to focus on the present."

"Remind them to stay away from those with ill intentions, be careful, and wait for the right time to make a plan."

Upon hearing this, the solemnity on their faces gradually faded. Yes, now that they were back in the country, those with ill intentions were kept at bay, and besides, Huang Huijie was pregnant; now was the time for peace and stability.

The most important thing right now is to ensure Huang Huijie gives birth safely. Even if Lao Hu really has evidence, he would only be persuaded to back down if he presented it to the old man now.

Those people are eyeing the position of leader covetously; taking revenge rashly will only cause the position to fall into the hands of others.

Zhu Lin echoed:
"The dialect is right. As long as they stay away from those scheming people, bad people can't reach out, and they won't have to worry about not having healthy children."

"Yes." Huang Huijie gently touched her abdomen and nodded in agreement.

Old Hu's eyes regained their clarity, and he said in a deep voice:

"I will remind them to be careful."

Ma Wenying, who was completely unaware of the situation, said:

"Yes, that makes sense. I've also stayed away from bad people, and my illness has improved a lot now."

"Dr. Fang said that when my hair grows to my shoulders, my illness will be completely cured!"

As she spoke, she pointed to her head.

Everyone then realized that this person had a problem with their brain!
Now her behavior makes much more sense.

Zhu Lin said with a smile:

"Miss Ma is blessed with good fortune!"

In her eyes, Ma Wenying was just a rich girl with little life experience.

They wear unusual clothes and have rather peculiar hobbies.

Now I know, she has mental problems!
That's all right now...

Next, Ma Wenying happily demonstrated her talent in spices. Everyone felt sorry for the child, so even though they didn't understand, they listened to her explanation. However, after listening for a while, they realized that Ma Wenying was actually quite knowledgeable.

At least when it comes to spices, her knowledge is quite extensive.

She knew the properties of all kinds of spices by heart.

She is very knowledgeable about all kinds of rare and exotic spices, and if she were to start a perfume brand, she could definitely make it a success.

Huang Huijie said to Ma Wenying:
"Ms. Ma is so skilled in perfumery, why not invest in opening a perfume company in mainland China and then sell the perfumes overseas?"

Ma Wenying said:
“I’ve thought about starting a unique oriental fragrance company, but I don’t have the money and I don’t have any distribution channels overseas. No matter how well I do it, no one will be willing to pay for a bottle of unknown perfume.”

Huang Huijie nodded:

"This is a problem..."

By this time, she had completely adjusted her mindset, and after thinking for a moment, she asked Fang Yan and Lao Hu:

"By the way, didn't you have a partner who sold wine in France before?"

Lao Hu said:

"He's already been discharged from the hospital and returned to France. He's currently there running around doing market research."

"Even if I contact her, she probably won't be available right now."

There's a hidden agenda behind this statement. Even if they were to do business, it would be him and Ma Wenying who would handle it. What would it mean to hand it over to Li Chengzhu? Would it be considered generous of him?
Moreover, this project is not mature; at least in his view, there are still many things that are not mature enough.

Especially since Ma Wenying has mental problems...

It's just not a good time to say right now.

Huang Huijie sighed:

"That's such a pity. If we could let her meet Miss Ma in person, we might be able to get an investment or something."

Ma Wenying stuck out her tongue and said:

"Sister, you're so bold! Selling perfume to France. They make their living from perfume. How could I possibly compete with them..."

Huang Huijie smiled and said:
"Your perfumes are very nice... and you've considered people's health in every scent, avoiding those that could harm people. They're all made with natural ingredients, very high-quality..." Ma Wenying corrected:
"No, that's not it. It contains alcohol, which can be irritating to people."

"..." Huang Huijie and the others were both amused and exasperated, realizing that this girl was also an honest person, and there was no falsehood in her words.

After she finished speaking, she said to Huang Huijie:
"But it doesn't matter. I can just entertain myself. If a hobby becomes a job, I won't like it anymore."

Seeing that the other party had given up, Hu Daohu smiled and said:

"Miss Ma is so young, yet her words are so philosophical..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Fang Yan didn't chat with them; instead, she went to the kitchen to start preparing today's meal.

There weren't as many people at home today as before.

My older sister and younger sister-in-law came to the kitchen to help out, while Fang Yan was the head chef today.

Considering the two pregnant women, today's dishes are mostly light and simple.

However, there are still some other dishes that have a slightly different flavor.

It also satisfied the cravings of others.

Being a chef is a skill that requires effort; you have to cater to everyone's tastes and physical condition.

Fortunately, Fang Yan studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, so he has some knowledge in this area.

When the ingredients were almost ready, Fang Yan prepared to cook.

Just then, Ma Wenying somehow slipped in and saw Fang Yan cooking with his sleeves rolled up.

The blue flame of the gas stove, the glistening pork belly in the enamel basin, and Fang Yan is pouring oil into the pot right now.

He uses oil quite generously; ordinary people wouldn't be willing to use it like that.

Once the oil is hot, pour in the ginger slices, and you'll hear a sizzling sound.

Ma Wenying watched the flames shooting out and inhaled the scent of ginger in the air.

Fang Yan glanced at her, then tossed in neatly cut cubes of pork belly as he spoke:
"Miss Ma, please don't make any braising-scented perfume, it won't sell..."

Ma Wenying smiled and said:
"Haha, I smelled the ginger, not that I wanted to make perfume for braised pork."

At this point, the heat intensifies, and the fat between the lean and fatty meat is instantly rendered, releasing a fragrant aroma.

At this moment, Ma Wenying swallowed hard. She used to hate fatty foods, but after being sick, she ate very bland food. Now, smelling this aroma, she felt it was particularly strong.

Looking at the dishes prepared beside Fang Yan, the green garlic was picked clean and neatly arranged into small sections; the fresh river fish, just bought from the market, had been cleaned, sliced, marinated, and seasoned.

The fresh vegetables on the side were glistening with water droplets, looking vibrant green.

There was also a bowl containing tofu that had been fried to a golden brown, with a natural aroma of soybeans and oil that was very tempting.

There were also two other clay pots simmering something, the lids of which were open, steaming out and emitting a smell of Chinese medicine and meat.

It seems that the Chinese medicine I'm taking contains similar herbs.

Seeing Fang Yan busy, she couldn't help but watch the excitement from the sidelines.

Before long, Fang Yan had prepared one exquisite dish after another.

"Want to try the dishes?" Fang Yan asked Ma Wenying, who was standing to the side like a naive child.

"Is that okay?" Ma Wenying asked in surprise; she was actually quite keen to try it.

What Ma Wenying eats isn't that important anymore; the most important thing is that she's in a good mood.

Obviously, she would be in a good mood if she tried a few bites of the food right now.

Fang Yan handed her the chopsticks directly.

Try it yourself!

After speaking in dialect, he went to cook.

Ma Wenying took the chopsticks and looked at the many dishes, finding it difficult to choose for a moment.

In the end, it all came down to the braised pork that Fang Yan had just made.

At this moment, steam was still rising from the edge of the porcelain plate. The chunks of meat, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, were coated in a thick sauce and trembled slightly in the white porcelain plate, looking somewhat different from the braised pork in Haojiang.

She picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, and found that it was indeed different from the braised pork in Haojiang. This one was savory and salty.

The savory sauce also has the flavors of star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves. Moreover, the spices used in the local dialect seem to be different from those in Haojiang, making the taste even more authentic.

The savory sauce spread across her tongue first, the richness of soy sauce mixed with the spiciness of star anise. Her cheeks bulged slightly from chewing, the marbled meat melting in her mouth, the aroma of the oil mingling with the warmth of the cinnamon, sinking down her throat. After one bite, the salty flavor suited her taste better than the sweet and salty flavor, and she felt like she hadn't had enough yet.

But I was too embarrassed to eat too much, so I could only eat other things.

However, after trying a few more dishes, she found that apart from the lightly flavored ones, the other dishes suited her taste perfectly.

"Dr. Fang, your cooking skills are just as superb as your medical skills!" She put down her chopsticks and sincerely praised Fang Yan.

Fang Yan smiled, just then his younger brother's voice came from the doorway:
"Brother! Study, phone!"

"Who called?" Fang Yan asked, turning off the fire on the stove.

The younger brother said:

"It was Director Liao. He said he's found out what you asked him to investigate."

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe everyone 80000 words.

That's all for today, please come early tomorrow!
Lao Feng is working hard to write tomorrow's!
