Chapter 13: It's up to you, coconut jelly!
Comfortable to live a hard life, never waste food, although the heart is not happy, still eat the food without oil and salt.
After washing the lunch box, Shu Xin sighed silently.
Mu Jianyun, a big fool, really doesn't know how to be sophisticated, maybe in the eyes of him and the head of the regiment, this matter is just mentioned in passing, but it becomes complicated when the matter is passed on.
No, Aunt Qiu was forced to work overtime for free, so she was unwilling.
Not to mention the daughter-in-law of the head of the regiment and the pregnant women in the family, I don't know what to think of her.
But to say a thousand things and ten thousand, this meal was delivered, and she owes this favor.
She was a newcomer, and now that Mu Jianyun is not here, she has to come to visit herself.
It's best to ask the daughter-in-law of the head of the regiment to stop telling Aunt Qiu to bring food over.
Shu thought about it and thought of the big coconuts that can be found everywhere on the island.
In her last life, when she worked as a salesperson in a big city, she learned a lot of food and desserts from a wonderful chef aunt.
Among them is a dish of coconut jelly.
In this era, the economy has just opened up a little, and people's food and clothing have become a problem, so coconut jelly is rarely a dessert in people's lives.
It's just right to give this in return.
Just do it, comfortably find the bamboo basket at home and go out.
The climate of Lingfu Island is very similar to that of Hainan Island, and the coconut will bear fruit all year round.
It's the beginning of May, and although it's not the best time for the coconuts to ripen, there are quite a few old coconuts on the trees.
Lingfu Island is very large, except for the specially divided military region, other places where family members can move freely, comfortably along the coastline, a group of children are shouting in a densely wooded place.
It looks like I'm picking a coconut.
Shu Xin recognized at a glance that the leader was the "thin monkey", that is, the big man who helped maintain order when she sent candy that day.
Holding a coconut in his hand, he climbed down from the tree neatly with his hands and feet, and greeted Shu Xin with a sweaty face.
"Sister Oda! How did you get here? ”
Shu Xin took out a new handkerchief and handed it to him, smiling.
"Stinky boy! Didn't I tell you last time, I want to call me Aunt Oda! ”
The thin monkey wiped his sweat unceremoniously.
"Oops, you're not a few years older than my sister, what an aunt!"
The handkerchief was almost soaked, and Shu Xin didn't plan to ask for it again.
"I've got you!"
Seeing that there were five or six-year-old dolls all around, he was a ten-year-old child, and he was puzzled.
"Isn't it just after school? Why don't you go home for dinner? What's crazy about here with these little ones? Aren't you afraid that your family will be in a hurry? ”
The thin monkey shouted nonchalantly.
"I ate in the cafeteria! I have no one at home, who will care about me! ”
Hearing that Shu Xin was going to pick coconuts, the thin monkey volunteered to help her.
The skinny monkey looks thin, but he is covered in tendon flesh, and he rises up the tree quickly and steadily, which is the same as his nickname.
Comfortable to look down at the worried, a moment to remind.
"Be careful!"
"Hey! Watch your step! ”
The thin monkey smiled brightly, but it was even more powerful, and after a while, he helped Shu Xin pick more than a dozen, all of which were heavy old coconuts.
The size is even, and the fruit is plump.
"You're a great tree climber! The coconut is also a good pick! ”
Shu Xin gave him a thumbs up, and the thin monkey patted his chest.
"This Lingfu Island is my territory! By the way, I also know a mango tree that grows well..."
"Mango?! That's great! Take me there! ”
She was worried about what to put on top of the coconut jelly, and now she was really sleepy and sent a pillow.
As soon as the thin monkey took the bamboo basket where he put the coconut on his shoulder, he walked forward, the sea breeze blowing his clothes bulging, and he rubbed his messy short hair in a pretending style.
Shu Xin chuckled lightly and quickly followed.
There was a lot of harvest at noon, and he wanted to pay the thin monkey for wages, but he didn't want anything, so she had to load him with the shaqima and chicken cakes she bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives yesterday.
His little teeth were a mess, and he couldn't eat any more chocolate and sugar.
Driving the thin monkey to school, Shu Xin went to the sister-in-law of Jin Zhi next door to borrow a small casserole, and hurried to work.
Growing up by the sea, coconut is the best drink to obtain, and Shu Xin is also a master of coconut opening.
After knocking open the shell, hold the coconut in the palm of your hand, directly find the natural texture of the old coconut, and turn it while tapping with a blunt knife, and after a few turns, the coconut will be divided into two halves.
Take out the coconut water, and then mash the coconut meat and milk powder together to make coconut milk, the rest of the steps are simple, put all the ingredients into a small casserole, boil them, filter, and then pour them back into the coconut shell, put them in the refrigerator and wait for them to solidify.
This refrigerator was originally only available at the head of the regiment and the instructor's house, but when it was first transported, the one at the head of the regiment's house was broken, and the head of the regiment threw it to Mu Jianyun to repair it.
After he finished studying and repairing it, the regiment leader's family had already bought a new one, and this one was thrown to Mu Jianyun for use.
Shu Xin has already packed up and turned on the electricity in the morning, and it is already cold at this time, and it is just right to put coconut jelly.
Seeing that the hour clock at home was half past five, Shu Xin hurriedly took out three coconut jelly from the refrigerator and put them first, and went out to the canteen with a lunch box.
She had to finish eating first, and hurried to the head of the regiment's house while Aunt Qiu hadn't delivered her food.
Comfortably walked slowly to the cafeteria, there was no one eating inside, only a woman in a red dress was noisy.
"Why do you have to start dinner at six o'clock! The stipulation is dead, man is alive! I didn't eat at noon because I was late! ”
"Do you want to starve me???"
A few masters in the cafeteria didn't know what to say to the woman, and in the end it seemed that the masters compromised.
This arrogant and domineering appearance looks like a spring swallow at a glance.
Shu Xin was about to leave, but was stopped by the master who made soy milk for him in the morning, saying that he was cooking noodles, and if she wanted to eat it, she could help her cook an extra bowl and save her from running again.
Shu Xin thought about it and agreed, and took out the food stamps and eight cents.
At noon, she ate too vegetarian, so she added two fried eggs and a serving of greens.
Chunyan finished eating after three times and dividing five by two, and walked straight towards Shuxin.
"Cut, it's not like you're going to touch my light! Did you sleep at noon and didn't eat? ”
Comfortably and slowly eating noodles, nodding indiscriminately to deal with her.
Chunyan sat down opposite her and asked in a low voice.
"Hey, I heard my man say that the company commander won't be here for a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him, do you know where the company commander went?"
"I don't know."
Shu Xin shook her head, she didn't lie, she really didn't know about it.
Chunyan rolled her eyes.
"Cut! Extra to ask you! What can a man in your family know about a big-headed soldier! ”
After speaking, he asked again.
"Then do you know where our company commander's family lives? He's not here, I'll go get to know the company commander's wife first! ”
Isn't that in front of you?
Shu Xin endured the hard work, reported a few lines and a few buildings at home, and listened to Chunyan's affectionate words.
"So you know the company commander's wife, don't you? I went to see her at night with my things! Why don't we go together? ”
Seeing Shu Xin shaking her head, Chunyan suddenly felt bored again, and rolled her eyes.
"Hillbilly, you don't understand this, do you? If you don't tie up with the regiment leader's wife, your family has been a big soldier all his life! ”
Walking out of the cafeteria and seeing that Shu Xin was still working hard, he flicked his wavy curly hair.
Originally, I wanted to take her with me to set off my high emotional intelligence, but I didn't expect this person to be so ignorant.
What's the use of being good-looking! No brains!
What to compare with her Lu Chunyan!
