Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

With meticulous attention to detail, Butler Zhu inquired about vehicle maintenance from Mu Chen. He held a notebook, ready to record every detail. He asked, "Mr. Mu, how often should we have a thorough cleaning? Also, are there any special requirements for regular vehicle maintenance?" Mu Chen stood by, patiently answering each question. He knew Butler Zhu was dedicated and responsible, and therefore explained his needs with extra care.

Meanwhile, Wen Shu returned home. She walked through the spacious hallway and headed straight for the kitchen. Aunt Hu was busy preparing desserts. As soon as Wen Shu entered, she smelled a refreshing fruity aroma. She happily washed her hands and eagerly joined in to help. Although the early autumn weather wasn't as scorching as summer, the midday sun still felt oppressive. Aunt Hu was making lychee shaved ice dessert, which had recently become very popular online. This dessert was loved by many for its unique texture and sweet flavor.

Wen Shu walked over to Aunt Hu and offered to help remove the lychee seeds. She carefully picked up each glistening lychee, skillfully peeled off the skin, and removed the seeds. Her movements were quick and precise, clearly not her first time doing this. Aunt Hu watched Wen Shu's practiced technique, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. She guided Wen Shu on how to remove the seeds more effectively, explaining the process and tips for making the dessert. Wen Shu listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show her understanding.

A warm atmosphere filled the kitchen as the two women busied themselves, chatting about the little things in life. Under Aunt Hu's guidance, Wen Shu gradually mastered the art of making lychee sorbet. She placed the pitted lychee flesh into a blender, added an appropriate amount of rock sugar and milk, and blended it into a smooth slush. Then, she poured the slush into molds and froze it. Once solidified, she removed it from the freezer, sprinkled some crushed ice and fresh lychee flesh as garnish, and a refreshing and delicious lychee sorbet was complete.

Looking at the dessert she had made herself, Wen Shu felt a great sense of accomplishment. She looked forward to Mu Chen's reaction after tasting it, hoping that the dessert would bring him a touch of early autumn coolness and joy.

Today's lunch is crab roe noodles. Aunt Hu started getting busy early in the morning, carefully selecting fresh crab roe to ensure that every piece of crab roe is plump and delicious.

Aunt Hu knew everyone was pressed for time at lunchtime, so she had prepared everything in advance, leaving only the last step—cooking the noodles in boiling water. She skillfully placed the noodles into the pot, and as the water heated up, the noodles tumbled and rolled, gradually becoming soft and elastic. Aunt Hu's movements were quick and methodical; she occasionally stirred them gently with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together.

While waiting for the noodles to cook, Aunt Hu didn't rest. She started preparing some side dishes, such as crisp cucumber shreds and cilantro, as well as some seasonings, such as soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. She neatly arranged these side dishes and seasonings on the table, adding more layers of texture and flavor to the rice.

When the noodles were cooked just right, Aunt Hu quickly scooped them out, drained them, and then mixed them with the prepared crab roe rice. She gently tossed them with chopsticks to ensure that every noodle was evenly coated with crab roe and seasoning. Finally, she sprinkled some chopped green onions on top as a garnish, and a plate of delicious and visually appealing crab roe rice was ready.

Aunt Hu's crab roe rice is not only delicious, but also nutritionally balanced, with the freshness of the crab roe and the chewiness of the noodles perfectly combined.

Aunt Hu carefully placed the meticulously prepared lychee ice cream and crab roe noodles on the table, each dish exuding an enticing aroma. Just then, Mu Chen walked into the restaurant. His arrival seemed perfectly timed, as it meant they could begin to enjoy this sumptuous lunch.

Wen Shu's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she gazed at Mu Chen, hoping he would be the first to taste the lychee ice cream she and Aunt Hu had made together.

Aunt Hu's face beamed with pride. She knew that this lychee sorbet dessert was the result of countless hours of hard work by her and Wen Shu. They experimented repeatedly in the kitchen, adjusting and trying every detail, from ingredient selection to seasoning. They hoped that this dessert would perfectly showcase the sweetness of lychee and its icy texture, allowing Mu Chen to feel their heartfelt sincerity.

Crab roe noodles are Aunt Hu's specialty. She uses her unique method to perfectly combine the umami of crab roe with the chewy texture of noodles. Every strand of noodle is coated with the essence of crab roe, allowing you to taste the sea with just one bite. Mu Chen has always praised Aunt Hu's cooking skills, always saying that her skills are comparable to those of the head chefs in any high-end restaurant.

Wen Shu watched Mu Chen from the side, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness. She knew Mu Chen had extremely high standards for food, and she hoped her efforts would earn his approval. She imagined the satisfied smile on Mu Chen's face when he tasted the first bite of the lychee ice cream; that would be her greatest satisfaction.

Mu Chen slowly sat down at the exquisite dining table, his gaze lingering on the two meticulously prepared dishes. He first took a deep breath, as if this simple action would allow him to inhale all the aromas emanating from the food, savoring their mouth-watering fragrance. The air was filled with the subtle aroma of spices and fresh ingredients, making one yearn to taste them immediately.

Then, he picked up the silver spoon, which shimmered under the light, appearing exceptionally delicate. A look of anticipation appeared on Mu Chen's face; he was ready to taste the lychee ice cream.

Mu Chen put the spoon in his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored it carefully, a satisfied expression gradually appearing on his face. He seemed completely immersed in the wonderful sensation brought by this dessert. The sweetness of the lychee and the icy texture blended perfectly; each bite was like tasting the coolness of summer, making one want to keep eating spoonful after spoonful.

"Shu Shu helped with this, didn't she? It's shaped like a heart." Mu Chen opened his eyes, looked at the dessert in front of him, and praised it with a smile. He noticed the carefully arranged heart shape on the dessert, which Wen Shu had painstakingly carved, every detail revealing her deep affection for Mu Chen.

Indeed, it was delicious. On this somewhat sweltering midday, a bite of cool lychee was refreshing and invigorating, not only cooling the body but also bringing joy to the soul. Mu Chen's praise brought a bright smile to Wen Shu's face. She knew her efforts had been recognized, and this joy was more genuine than any words. The atmosphere at the table became warm and pleasant, and their laughter echoed in the room, as if even the air itself had become sweeter.
