Chapter 441 Snacks

On Friday, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan's leave application process went smoothly. As soon as they mentioned it to Guo Tingshuo, he agreed.

Not only because they have nothing to do in their daily lives, but also because of their backgrounds.

hey-hey!

However, things were not going so smoothly for Zhu Shiliang.

Because Comrade Lao Zhu was transferred to the office to be a secretary, there were a lot of chores there and everyone was extremely busy, so there was no one to help him.

Fortunately, an old employee passing by said something fair, "He has worked there for more than ten years. It is only natural for him to go back and take a look. We can't be too harsh. At most, we can wait for him to come back and work overtime to finish the unfinished work."

In this way, Zhu Shiliang got three hours of vacation.

Yu Shui was a very outgoing person. After just a few days, he had become close friends with the people in the third team and they became close friends.

So, as soon as he said it, someone took the initiative to take over the shift for him and told him to do what he was supposed to do.

Yu Shui was so excited that he almost went up to kiss her twice. But she was quick to react and dodged before he could pounce on her.

The rest of the people were also relatively smooth. After all, it was just a shift change, which was not a big deal for other colleagues.

That's how it was settled.

At noon, after getting off work, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went back to the dormitory to have lunch, and then began to prepare gifts for their former colleagues.

There's no other way. It's not good to go back empty-handed after such a long time.

Also, Zhu Shiliang and his friends live in a dormitory, so they probably don't have anything to show off. If we go back to the city to prepare, we won't have enough time.

So, they might as well be generous and prepare their own portion.

However, the two were worried about what to buy that would be both presentable and not eye-catching.

"Husband, think about it quickly. We can't give out dried vegetables this time. If there are too many, we can't give them out, and if there are too few, they won't be enough to share. Besides, who wants to eat dried vegetables when there are fresh vegetables?" Bi Qiaoan leaned on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, feeling a little worried.

"As for the dried meat, I dare not give it out. As for the others, the ones we usually use as gifts are not suitable to be given out. After all, we are facing a lot of people this time, so it is better to find something that everyone can share a little."

Chen Yanming also frowned, "It's better to give food. Nowadays, no gift is better than food. But we can't give staple foods like rice and flour, so snacks are better."

In this case, Bi Qiaoan began to count, "My favorite snacks are egg yolk crisps, mung bean cakes, nougat, chocolate..."

Before she could finish, Shen Yanming interrupted, "Dear, although we have a lot of these at home, they are not suitable for taking out. Think about what else can be made with the ingredients we have on hand."

Bi Qiaoan was a little frustrated and threw the pillow in his arms. "Then tell me, what kind of food do you have at home?"

"On the surface, there are cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, some dried vegetables and mushrooms, as well as some rice, flour, grain and oil." Shen Yanming opened the refrigerator at home and took a look.

Although he had submitted the application for replacing milk powder, the guard team had not approved it yet, so both of them took back the vegetables for this week.

Besides, they had no choice but to collect it. They had just arrived and didn't know the situation well. When they reported in, they were only concerned with bringing their luggage and rice and flour, and didn't even think about the vegetables.

On the day I first moved in, Li Gangtie brought me two bags of emergency supplies.

Therefore, since there is no obvious way to get the things in the space, they can only make use of the materials on the surface.

Bi Qiaoan listened to Shen Yanming's report before saying, "How about making French fries?"

"Of course, it's possible, but it has to be frozen in advance, so there's not enough time." Shen Yanming was a little annoyed. "The other day we were discussing what gifts to bring back, but we ended up getting sidetracked."

Bi Qiaoan's face turned red, as if she was just being coquettish and naughty, and then she forgot about it while talking.

Seeing that his wife was about to bury her head in her chest, he quickly held her chin and comforted her: "It's okay, if we can't make French fries, we can still fry mushrooms, right?

Anyway, there are dried mushrooms in the supplies, so we can just pick some fresh ones from the space and claim that they are soaked. This way, we can save some time."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Okay, this will indeed be much faster."

Seeing that he had reached a consensus with his young wife, Shen Yanming walked into the kitchen and took out a large bunch of fresh mushrooms from the storage area.

First wash it with water, blanch it and drain it, then coat it with batter and fry it in oil.

Because the mushrooms are produced in space, they are particularly clean and only need to be rinsed lightly with water.

Moreover, the seasonings are all ready-made and can be poured directly into the batter without the couple having to worry about anything.

He has to wait until the oil pan turns red and watch from the side to make sure it is not fried too much and becomes charred.

After a while, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Shen Yanming took out the first batch of cooked mushrooms from the wok, drained the oil and poured them into a bowl, then sprinkled salt, cumin and chili powder on them.

He turned and left the kitchen, and put the food in front of Bi Qiaoan. "It's freshly fried, so crispy and tender. Eat it first, be careful of the heat."

Bi Qiaoan took it with satisfaction, picked up one with chopsticks, blew on it again and again, and then put it in his mouth to taste it.

"Hmm~" At this moment, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

This plate of mushrooms tastes great, the batter on the outside is fried crispy and fragrant, while the mushrooms on the inside are tender and juicy.

Bi Qiaoan felt that her stomach, which had just been full, was hungry again, and she ate half a bowl of mushrooms without stopping.

Then she shouted to the busy figure in the kitchen: "Honey, this is delicious, the ingredients are great, it's worthy of being a mountain delicacy."

Shen Yanming found it funny that his wife didn't even mention the word "space" for safety reasons.

But before he could reply, he heard a knock on the living room door.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that his young wife was alert enough and would never speak loudly about topics related to space.

There's no way, who knows if the walls have ears.

Or, like this time, you just happen to be seen by someone.

Even if there's a door between us, who knows if the other person might be gifted and be able to hear your conversation clearly, right?

Hehe, in a nutshell, it’s better to be careful.

Bi Qiaoan was also startled when he heard the knock on the door, and secretly thanked himself for not speaking without thinking.

Just as I was about to stand up and open the door, I saw Shen Yanming coming out of the kitchen, wiping his hands and unlocking the door.

As expected, the people outside the door were Zhu Shiliang and others.

Yu Shui stood at the front, licking his face and smiling, "Hehe, I came to visit you empty-handed for the first time, don't blame me, don't blame me! I'll make up for this gift when I come back later."
