Chapter 172: I'll Serve You Seafood
The sisters laughed for a while, and Han Mingyu suddenly said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, a few days ago, the second uncle's Xiaoyan'er came to me, crying and borrowing money from me, saying that she was going to high school, and the second uncle didn't provide for her, and wanted to borrow money from me to go to school." β
Han Mingxiu hurriedly said, "Then did you borrow her?" β
Han Mingyu said with a smile, "What am I borrowing, I don't go to work anymore, I have to spend one to ask my old woman for one, if my old woman asks for money for a cousin to study, with my old woman's temperament, she can get me out." β
Han Mingxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief, "Fortunately, you didn't lend it to her, even if you didn't lend it to her, just Xiaoyan's character, she doesn't thank you even if you give her your heart, and don't expect her to repay you the money you lent her, no matter how well she lives in the future, how much money she has, she will never return it, and she can't admit it, really, she is that kind of person!" β
Han Mingyu said, "I also think that girl is not very affordable, but it is not like you said, I really have no money, if I have money, I will borrow her a little, don't you see her crying?" It's miserable! β
When Han Mingxiu heard that the second sister took pity on Han Mingyan, she rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Second sister, do you know a good thing?" I've heard the story of "The Farmer and the Snake", it's not my Sehang, Xiaoyan's temperament is definitely a fight with poisonous snakes, if you save her, maybe she will bite you to death at any turn, it's not that I'm prejudiced against her, she is that kind of person in her bones! β
Han Mingyu saw that Han Mingxiu's words were excited, and hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, okay, look at you, what a big deal, why are you still in a hurry?" Didn't I borrow her? Why are you angry? β
Han Mingxiu said, "It's not that I'm so anxious, it's that I'm in a hurry with the two of you, you're too easy to deceive, you will be soft-hearted when people squeeze two drops of cat urine, I can tell you, Xiaoyan is not a good thing, in the future, you stay away from her, even if she comes to your house, don't bother with her, it's better not to let her in, otherwise you will cry!" β
"I know, let's not talk about her, you look at your blushing face and thick neck, as if you have taken gun medicine, why haven't you seen her for a few days, why is your temper still rising?" Han Mingyu opened the door of the kang cabinet and took out a small basket of gourd seeds to calm her sister's excited emotions.
Under the second sister's kind words and comfort, Han Mingxiu finally lost her anger, she swallowed a handful of melon seeds, and talked to the second sister for a while, seeing that the second sister's mother-in-law's family was almost off work, before leaving the second sister's house.
The next stop, she went to Xinhua Bookstore, the book she wrote "The Biography of Chinese Children" should have been published and distributed now, she wanted to see if there was anything sold in the bookstore, if there was, she would buy a few copies, one for Huo Jianfeng to mail, one for Uncle Zhou, and one for Manager Cui's children, and she also kept a few copies as a souvenir.
After all, it's her debut work when she came to this world, and it's still worth collecting!
After coming to Xinhua Bookstore, I asked the salesperson, don't say, there is really one, or a newcomer.
Han Mingxiu bought ten books in one go, the books at this time are really cheap, a book of two or three hundred thousand words, only sold for five cents a book, which is almost the same as giving away for nothing.
After buying his own books, Han Mingxiu went around Xinhua Bookstore again, picked out some books suitable for Uncle Zhou to read, and bought a few popular books himself, such as "How Steel is Made", "The Sun Shines on the Sanggan River", "Song of Youth" and so on, leaving it to pass the time when he has nothing to do.
After buying the book, she went to Zhou's house.
At this point, other street sweepers must not have come back, but Uncle Zhou must be back, his legs are just right, he can't stand for a long time, he usually accompanies Aunt Zhou to sweep for an hour or two, and Aunt Zhou sent him back.
When he came to Zhou's house, Uncle Zhou was really at home.
Seeing Han Mingxiu, Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "You came just in time, it just so happened that this month's fine grain came back, and your aunt also said that she wanted to get some rice and dry rice to eat at noon, but it happened that you caught up, and now you have a mouthful!" β
Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "That's good, but don't wait for my aunt to come back, she swept the streets all morning, and she is tired, I'll do it, I'm idle anyway." β
She often comes to Zhou Xilong's house, and Zhou Xilong is very familiar with them, she doesn't see her at all in Zhou's house, Zhou Xilong and his wife treat her like their own daughter, and they don't see her at all.
Han Mingxiu came to the kitchen, put down the basket, and found the rice.
Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou only divided a total of four catties of fine grains, two catties of rice and two catties of white flour in January, because there was only this little bit of fine grain, so Aunt Zhou paid special attention to it, and put the two catties of rice and two catties of white flour in two small bags, the mouth of the bag was tightly tied, and they were placed in a basin under the kitchen bowl shelf, and another basin was used to cover the rice and white flour, as if she was afraid of being seen.
With such a heavy package, it can be seen that this little bit of food is cherished!
Seeing that Aunt Zhou cherished this little grain so much, Han Mingxiu couldn't bear to wash rice, and after thinking about it, she decided not to simmer rice, so she scooped up a small half bowl of rice and made some seafood porridge, which could also help them save some rice.
Seafood porridge is still when she went to the capital on a business trip in her last life to eat in a famous seafood restaurant in the capital, that is, cook porridge under the pot, put a curtain on top to steam seafood, steaming process, water vapor will steam the umami of seafood into the porridge, making the porridge particularly delicious.
However, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou had to go out to work in the afternoon, and she was afraid that she would not be hungry if she only ate porridge and seafood, so she took out a few ears of green bud rice, picked up the bud rice, and steamed it with seafood.
Han Mingxiu was working in the kitchen here, and Zhou Xilong was not idle outside, Han Mingxiu went to the kitchen to cook, he limped to the yard to pick up a handful of tender shallots, and also picked up a handful of small cabbage and a handful of small stinky vegetables, planning to eat a dipping pickle at noon.
For them, eating a meal of dry rice, accompanied by small shallots and small cabbage, is equivalent to improving the food, and when Han Mingxiu came, he was willing to take down such tender shallots and cabbage, otherwise he would be reluctant to change people, these shallots and cabbage will grow into green onions and cabbage in two months, and they will grow up and eat again, which can be a lot more!
There is a broken water tank in the yard, the edge of the tank is gone, and most of the ballast is left there.
After Uncle Zhou finished cooking, he took a gourd scoop and scooped out a scoop of water in the jar, and rushed at the handful of shallots, and the water that flowed down watered the garden by the way.
When he finished washing the vegetables and brought them into the house, Han Mingxiu was taking things out of the back basket.
I saw her take out a net of big red apples, half a sand gourd watermelon, a bag of mushrooms, a bundle of herbs, and more than a dozen ears of tender green bud rice that could not be shaken!
"Xiu, where did this apple come from?"
Seeing the big and red apples, Zhou Xilong took a look, this apple is not locally produced at first glance, in this era of material scarcity, apples can be regarded as a sought-after goods, she is a little rural girl, where is such a good apple?
Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Not to mention apples, I also brought a big crab today, which is steaming in the pot!" β
"Crabs?"
When Uncle Zhou heard this, he was even more surprised, "Where did you get the crab?" β
Han Mingxiu's face did not change and said, "My object's comrade-in-arms brought it to me, and so did this apple, he brought it to me, I can't get used to the taste of crabs, and it's a pity to throw it away, so I'll bring it to you to eat!" β
When Zhou Xilong heard this, he said repeatedly, "You can't throw this thing, silly boy, Uncle told you, this crab is a good thing, it is more delicious than meat and more expensive than meat!" β
Han Mingxiu pursed his lips and said, "I don't think it's delicious, it's not fragrant at all, if you think it's delicious, I'll bring it to you when I bring it back to me in the future." β
Uncle Zhou said, "That's not necessary, if you don't like to eat, don't let your object spoil that share of money, you haven't eaten that old money, you have not eaten in vain, and you will be blinded by your object's heart, Uncle will borrow you just to eat a meal of lala gluttony." β
Han Mingxiu said, "Is it expensive? I heard from my partner that his comrade-in-arms worked on the railway and ran the Dandong line, and Dandong was close to the sea, and the seafood over there was not expensive at all, and the apples were also bought there, and they were not expensive. β
Zhou Xilong said with a smile, "Uncle can't afford to eat it, no matter how cheap it is, this is also seafood and fruit, how cheap can it be?" β
Han Mingxiu had no choice but to bring out what she said at Aunt Su's house in the morning and repeat it, "Then I'll provide you with a handful of food, and I'll pay me back when you have money......"
