Chapter 83: Looks good but not useful



"Looks good but is useless?"

Tang Qiyue said uncertainly.

I thought Zhan Zeye would get mad, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, I'll let you know whether it's good-looking and useful!"

If not...

He couldn't say it out loud, so he could only keep it to himself.

Tang Qiyue was very confused. She was not a person who was obsessed with lust, but Zhan Zeye had clearly reached the critical moment several times, but he just didn't take the last step. She was also a human being, and she would also doubt whether her charm was not enough.

Besides, she is not averse to children. Having lived two lives, her mind is no longer as worried as it was when she was eighteen.

She even thought about using some black technology to make Zhan Zeye unable to stop.

Fortunately, her reason told her that it was better not to do that.

Zhan Zeye didn't continue, but just hugged the person and fell asleep.

"Will you come and join me in the cafeteria tomorrow? Or will I go alone?"

Tang Qiyue saw that Zhan Zeye was silent and she couldn't sleep, so she simply found a topic to ask. Zhan Zeye sighed: "I have a training mission tomorrow. When it's time for dinner, go with Hu Peng and Da Zhuang's wives."

Tang Qiyue nodded. It wasn't a formal banquet, so there was really no need for the couple to go together.

Zhan Zeye stopped talking, and Tang Qiyue had to give up looking for topics to talk about. She turned over and got out of Zhan Zeye's arms. Although the temperature dropped at night, it was still hot.

Zhan Zeye is such a hot stove, it’s really not suitable to sleep close to him.

Wearing earplugs, Tang Qiuyue naturally could not see Zhan Zeye's resentful expression, nor could she hear his breathing that had not calmed down.

As soon as the sun rose, Zhan Zeye was about to go for morning exercises. He glanced at Tang Qiyue who was sleeping soundly, but in the end he didn't bother to wake her up.

When it was dawn, Tang Qiuyue opened the curtains to let the sunlight into the room before she got up to wash.

Breakfast was brought back to her by Xu Qiuju from next door after she went to the cafeteria to eat.

"Sister-in-law, what are your plans for today?"

Xu Qiuju had been reminded by Li Erhong yesterday, so she naturally wouldn't mention having children again. Now she only had two little ones to take care of herself. After Xu Qiuju finished her meal, the two children went straight to play with the children of Political Commissar Wu.

Xu Qiuju had nothing to do at the moment, so she simply thought about doing things with Tang Qiyue.

"I saw abalone on another reef beach a few days ago, and I thought I'd go get some today."

Tang Qiyue did not hide her plan, and Xu Qiuju immediately expressed her desire to go together, and Tang Qiyue certainly would not refuse.

As it is hot today, although the seafood picked up will easily rot and spoil, if it is processed in time, it can still be dried in one day, making it convenient to eat during typhoon days or in winter!

Although there are many kinds of seafood on the island, there are times when it is not suitable to go to the sea. At that time, you need to rely on the dry goods accumulated in your daily life.

After Tang Qiyue finished her meal, the two of them carried the wooden bucket and walked towards the rocky beach, chattering all the way, but they were all talking about Sister Zhao. Most of the time, it was Xu Qiuju who was talking, and Tang Qiyue echoed her.

When we got to the rocky beach, we could go up there without having to wait for the tide to go down because the rocks were exposed above the sea level.

Tang Qiyue came to the place she had discovered before and pointed it out to Xu Qiuju.

Although the abalone here is not big, they are abundant in number.

Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju were both very happy. They used the tools they brought to remove all the abalone stuck to the reef.

Because the abalone were concentrated in large numbers, the two of them quickly filled the bucket while chatting and laughing.

"Oh my! This is the first time I've seen so much of this stuff. How do I eat it? It feels hard!"

Xu Qiuju had never eaten this thing before. Tang Qiyue planned to make it into dried abalone, which could be used to stew seabird meat or make soup in the future.

Seeing that Xu Qiuju had never eaten it before, she explained to her: "You can cut it into slices and stir-fry it with some chili peppers, or cut it into slices and cook it into porridge. Of course, you can also dry it and make dried abalone, which is delicious when used in soup or stew!"

Xu Qiuju's mouth was watering after hearing this. She thought abalone was not very delicious, but it turned out that there were so many ways to cook it.

"I thought they were cooked and eaten with salt water!"

Xu Qiuju said it casually, and Tang Qiyue remembered that many people on the seaside do like to cook seafood directly. One reason is that seafood itself is salty, and the other is that seasonings are expensive, so complicated cooking methods are not suitable.

Tang Qiyue nodded: "You can eat it that way, but it won't taste as good as it would if it were processed!"

Xu Qiuju didn't care about these things, as long as it could be boiled, she was just an average cook. She also had to take care of the children and open up new land, so she had no time to think about food. If she didn't like the food, she could just go to the cafeteria to eat the big pot meal.

Xu Qiuju is a person who has no aspirations, and Tang Qiyue does not force others.

When preparing to go back, Tang Qiuyue saw another reef covered with small spicy snails. Although these small snails were small, they were really delicious when stir-fried and eaten with toothpicks.

The key is that there is a lot of this stuff, you can grab a handful at random.

Tang Qiuyue looked at the full wooden barrel, but seeing that the small snails on the reef were all quite large, she was reluctant to let them go. She looked around and saw the big leaves in the distance, so she ran over and picked a few.

Xu Qiuju followed suit and, together with Tang Qiyue, gathered a lot of small snails and piled them on the wooden barrel.

When he really couldn't do it anymore, he went home contentedly.

When we got home, it was already late and almost time for dinner.

"Sister-in-law, I'll put the things back and go get Sister Hong. Let's go to the cafeteria together!"

Xu Qiuju told Tang Qiyue something at the door, and Tang Qiyue also said that she would go home to pack up, and told them not to worry too much, they would come together later.

After returning home, Tang Qiuyue first put the snail into a basin and put a piece of iron in it to let the snail spit out the sand slowly. Then she went into the house to change clothes.

Calculating the time, it only took me twenty minutes to take a quick shower and get myself ready.

As soon as she came out, Xu Qiuju, her two children and Li Erhong came to her door.

Tang Qiuyue closed the courtyard door, tilted her head, quickly braided her hair into a pigtail and tied it with a handkerchief.

"Sister-in-law, your hair is so beautiful, so shiny and smooth. How did you do it?"

Xu Qiuju was very envious. Her hair had always been like straw and could not be tidied up no matter how hard she tried. Even her two children's hair was a mess. Fortunately, the children were young and had short hair, so she didn't have to worry too much.

Tang Qiyue knew what everyone's living conditions were like nowadays. At most, they would use a little shampoo, but that stuff would make their hair rough after washing, and it would be easy to frizz and difficult to manage.

"I make my own shampoo soap. I grind soap nuts, pine nuts, and some herbs into powder, then add it to soap made from lard and lye. After leaving it for a while, I can wash my hair with it. The hair I wash out will be just like mine!"

Tang Qiuyue did not lie to them.

Xu Qiuju and Li Erhong's faces were filled with excitement. If it weren't for the fact that asking for things was inconvenient, they would probably have asked directly.

"What's the same as yours? What are you talking about?"

Just as Tang Qiyue was about to give them one piece each, someone spoke behind them.
