Chapter 549: Steamed Muzi

This dish was invented by the great, hardworking masses during the famine years, when they couldn't afford meat during the New Year, as a substitute for meat!

It is made by steaming meat broth with sweet potato starch and various seasonings.

Wang Yong recognizes it because he and his father often made this dish when cooking for workers.

Steamed Muzi is very popular; both those who like meat and those who don't enjoy this dish, making it suitable for all ages.

However... is it really okay to serve Steamed Muzi at such a high-end occasion?

Facts proved—it was quite good.

Steamed Muzi was very popular; all the guests who ate it praised it endlessly and requested to see this dish on the menu for the next meal.

On the contrary, those precious abalones, caviar, foie gras, steaks, king crabs... were barely touched.

Jiangzhou cuisine shone brightly on an island thousands of miles away.

The wedding banquet was held on the Island for three days.

Everyone else was nearly exhausted, except for Sheng Jiang, who was incredibly happy.

It was his first time seeing so many big shots in his life, and people treated him with extra respect because they knew he was Sheng Hanyu's father.

Being in close contact with big shots was enough for Sheng Jiang to brag about for a while, not to mention that the open-seating banquet he had been longing for was also held, which could be considered fulfilling his wish.

Seeing that no one from the Fishing Village had come, Shi Youxuan asked her husband: "Why didn't you notify the Fishing Village? The Ya family saved your life; isn't it a bit inappropriate not to notify them when getting married?"

"It's not like it's far; notifying them now is still in time."

Sheng Hanyu:...

Don't look at how nicely his wife speaks; does he not know what she is thinking in her heart?

She wants Yafei to know—Sheng Hanyu is mine, stamped and sealed, properly married with children, from head to toe he is mine alone!

He doesn't understand a woman's mind, but he knows his wife's mind completely.

Sheng Hanyu said the truth: "I notified them. The first Invitation was sent to the Fishing Village by someone, but they only sent gifts; no one came."

Shi Youxuan: "There were gifts? Let me see."

The wedding gift sent by the Fishing Village was a red coral ornament, which was very valuable.

Shi Youxuan observed it back and forth for a long time, then asked: "That's it? Just this one?"

"That's it."

Sheng Hanyu dotingly flicked her nose: "Why are you so greedy? Isn't one ornament enough? How many more do you want?"

"It's not that."

She asked further: "I mean, did Yafei not include any token of affection or letter or anything in the gift for you?"

Sheng Hanyu:...

"Fine, you can check; feel free to check."

He let her check openly, and Shi Youxuan did not hold back; she checked it very meticulously and finally confirmed—it was indeed just an ornament, with no hidden mechanisms.

"Do you want to check my phone?" Sheng Hanyu handed his phone over as well.

"No need, no need to check the phone."

The people from the Fishing Village just sent the gift and left, without even seeing Sheng Hanyu's face!

Yafei didn't even send a single word; there wasn't a single character like "Happy Wedding" or "Grow old together."

The wedding ended, and everyone prepared to return.

Jin Wan'er said she wanted to stay for a few more days to relax, but that was just talk.

Both of them were very busy with work, and they were the first to leave after the wedding.

Fang Jie stayed behind.

Her husband and son shone brightly during this banquet, and Wang Yong hoped they could stay to help in the kitchen, mainly to cook Jiangzhou rural dishes, with a salary on par with a three-star Michelin chef!

Originally, this family of three had planned to return to Jiangzhou together after reuniting.

But under the temptation of a high salary, Fang Jie's husband and son decided to stay.

Fang Jie had suffered for most of her life and had finally waited for her husband and son to change for the better, but she was reluctant to part just as things were getting better.

However, she was also reluctant to leave the Sheng Family!

Later, it was Shi Youxuan who made the decision for her, letting her stay and live together with her family of three on the Island.

After many events, Shi Youxuan knew deeply that nothing was more important than family reunion!

Fang Jie asked Lao Qi to take a sum of money back to her daughter.

Her daughter's old husband was advanced in age and had no ability to work, so the family lived on meager relief funds.

When she was in Jiangzhou before, she would send some money to her daughter every month, but now that she decided to stay on the Island, it wouldn't be convenient to send money anymore, so she simply sent more back at once.

Lao Qi agreed.

Everyone bid a reluctant farewell.

They came in two groups, and they had to return in two groups.

Yun Zhehao and Ma Ling'er returned by plane; although the high-speed rail and cruise ship were novel when they came, once was enough, and they preferred faster transportation for the return trip.

Zichen hoped to travel by car or plane; he was the only one who got seasick on a boat.

Shi Ran couldn't delay her school classes for too long, so Sheng Jiang and Wang Yinghao took the two children back by plane as well.

Sheng Hanyu, Shi Youxuan, and Jian Yixin's family, plus Shi Yucheng, took the cruise ship to the high-speed rail!

On the second day of the cruise, they encountered the Ano Hao!

"Hanyu, Hanyu, look quickly, the Ano Hao." Shi Youxuan shouted excitedly, and Sheng Hanyu didn't even know what she was so excited about.

"I see it."

Shi Youxuan put down the binoculars, blinked her large eyes, and asked her husband: "You don't seem very happy?"

"Not at all, I'm quite happy."

Seeing the Ano Hao, Sheng Hanyu was overcome with a flood of emotions; he was indeed quite happy, but he did not know how to face it.

When he originally left the Small Fishing Village, he had let everyone believe he had "forgotten" everything that happened in the Fishing Village; now that he was facing it again, what was he to say?

Say that he "remembered"?

If he remembered, it would be very troublesome.

But if he hadn't "remembered," then they were destined to just brush past each other this time.

This parting could very well be for a lifetime!

Shi Youxuan felt her husband was overthinking things; she had the first mate signal the Ano Hao and invite them aboard!

The people from the Ano Hao came up, and they were acquaintances.

A Fan and A Feng were very happy to see Sheng Hanyu, hugging him with tears of excitement in their eyes.

After being separated for over a year, they never expected to meet here.

"Yano, were you sent down by the gods? I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime; I never expected we could actually meet on the sea. This is great, this is truly great..."

A Feng was very emotional, and A Fan was no better than him.

"Yano, is it you? Is it really you? I'm not dreaming, am I? I have thought countless times about you returning to our village, or that we might meet on the sea."

"That's right, every time, every time I went out to sea, I would imagine the scene after we met. I never thought it would actually come true; the gods must have heard my prayers..."

The two men's emotions also infected Sheng Hanyu; he stopped pretending he didn't remember and asked them about the situation in the Fishing Village.

"You remember?" A Fan's eyes widened: "Yano, you remember us, right?"

Sheng Hanyu nodded: "Yes, I remember you."

"Then you also remember Yafei, right? She gave you..."

A Fan said only half, and A Feng nudged him, so he stopped and abruptly changed the subject: "Everyone in the Fishing Village misses you, and we miss you too."

It was only missing him, but they didn't mention inviting him back to take a look.

Shi Youxuan had the ship's cook prepare a few dishes, and the group prepared to drink until they were drunk.
