Chapter 155 New Year's Goods
When Shi Qingqing returned home, Zhao Fengnian was thinking that they had talked on the phone four days ago, but his wife didn't say whether she would come back for the New Year at that time.
I should be back, after all, it’s the New Year.
If he didn't come back, he would just fry two eggs as a snack. It would be boring to celebrate the New Year alone anyway.
While I was daydreaming, a voice came from outside the door: "Zhao Fengnian! Come out and get your things."
Zhao Fengnian moved as fast as a rabbit and ran out of the house in an instant.
The white teeth are dazzling. "Wife, you're back!"
"Yes, it's New Year's Day." Shi Qingqing asked him to move things; "I'll go boil some water for a bath first. I can't even take a good bath on the sea..."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhao Fengnian went to the boat. The boxes of frozen food, as well as the carefully packaged snacks, fruits, and ingredients all indicated that these were this year's New Year's goods.
If you look closely, you can even find popular snacks on the market.
I even bought two boxes of Huafeng instant noodles.
Zhao Fengnian moved it three times, and Shi Qingqing boiled the water for washing her hair.
Zhao Fengnian moved everything five times and Shi Qingqing went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhao Fengnian tidied up a bit, and the small warehouse at home became full again without much reduction.
The custom-made shelves were filled with food, daily necessities, grains and oils sorted into different categories. The inventory looked more and higher quality than that in the small shop in the fishing village.
He felt the "atmosphere" of the store here, and checked the refrigerator again, but still found that some things could not fit in.
After Shi Qingqing came out, she picked and chose, sending some to her uncle, and the rest Zhao Fengnian could give to his subordinates. Now the refrigerator was just right and there was no need to worry about not having enough space.
"Why don't we just move the freezers off the boat? There are so many of them."
Shi Qingqing naturally kept the best for the couple first, and gave the rest as a favor. This was quite necessary.
So he told Zhao Fengnian to stop wasting time.
Zhao Fengnian went to his cousin's house and brought back a smoked goose and a bag of cakes.
Zhao Fengnian went to their home in Angkor and brought back some dried seafood such as scallops. Shi Qingqing could eat fresh seafood whenever she wanted, but she didn't have time to dry the seafood herself, so she chose to give these to her.
Three or two kinds of dried goods are all plump in size, suitable for making soup or porridge, or stir-frying after soaking.
I sent it to Sister Chen's house, and Sister Chen gave me a few plates of rice cakes and a large plate of dumplings, which were freshly made.
Let’s not talk about how the Guo family treats Guo Yumei for now. After all, it is the home of the best repairman in the village, and Zhao Fengnian also sent some frozen foods there.
But his family did not return the gift and even pulled Zhao Fengnian aside to question him.
Zhao Fengnian was annoyed by them. "They asked me why Guo Yumei hadn't come back for the New Year. It was really inexplicable. Couldn't she call to contact me? They made it seem like there was something wrong between me and Guo Yumei."
Shi Qingqing didn't continue with this topic.
The relationship between Guo Yumei and her family is not something that outsiders can interfere with. Anyway, the Guo family is trying to curry favor with her, which may be a good situation for Guo Yumei.
You know, last year...
"Just say you don't know. Don't worry about what they say. Then do you want to send these things to the town?"
If I go, I will go with you and bring two fish back to my parents' home.
You have to do the whole play. There is no need to fail at the last moment.
"No, I'll call Zhang Sheng and ask him to come over. His friend has a phone number."
So he called the number. When Zhang Sheng heard that the person was there to pick up New Year's goods, his voice choked up a little. He didn't expect that the choice he made casually at that time would bring new livelihoods to himself and his grandmother. Zhao Fengnian even thought about him during the New Year and other holidays.
About forty minutes later, Zhang Sheng came over with a few plastic bags in his hands. The items were scattered and not much, but they were all snacks made by grandma, such as peanut candy, sesame candy and various kinds of rice cakes.
Even the freshly made brown sugar Mala cake was brought out, it must have been pieced together.
Shi Qingqing felt that the "favors" that were originally given were not enough.
She went to the small warehouse and got some snacks, grains, oils and seasonings that were needed at home, a box of instant noodles, and some fruits that were more readily available in the market, and let Zhang Sheng take them all away.
Zhang Sheng came here by bike, and when he went back, the front, back and crossbar of the bike were all filled with food.
He also carries lighter items such as dried seaweed and kelp on his back.
It was cold riding on the road, but Zhang Sheng felt warm in his heart. He vowed to make a lot of money in the coming year, for his grandmother and himself, and also for the kindness of Brother Zhao.
He had two friends who used to hang out together. A few days ago, one was caught and the other had a leg broken.
The New Year is not easy for everyone.
When he found out about it, he was thinking that if he had not followed Zhao Fengnian to do proper work last year, maybe he would also be doing some illicit things to make money during the New Year, and he might have encountered the situation of these two friends.
At this time, Shi Qingqing tidied up the house again, and took out several plastic bags that had been piled in the box and sorted them out together.
Some of these bags were brought back by Zhao Fengnian, and she hadn't taken a closer look at them yet.
When I looked, I found some dried mushrooms, including morels.
This stuff is great, it makes delicious soup.
"When was this thing made? Was it collected some time ago?"
Zhao Fengnian came over to take a look. "Ah, this, last week, two days after my wound healed and you went out to sea again, Qian Liang passed by this road and brought it to me, saying that if I think it's okay after eating it, I can consider asking his friend to bring it back along the way."
Bring it along the way?
From where?
Southern Yunnan.
"Yunnan Province???" Why come from so far away? I can't afford the transportation fee.
Even if it is a ride-hailing car, it doesn't come often, so the sales volume won't be good.
But, try?
If the quality is really good, one trip yourself can be worth a hundred rides.
So the two of them started preparing dinner at around 3:00 p.m., and had morel and pork rib soup in the evening.
Three spare ribs, a dozen morels, and a pinch of wolfberries make the soup delicious and nutritious.
In addition, we fried an egg and made some hot and sour cabbage, and the two of us had a full dinner.
Zhao Fengnian said that his wife drank more soup than she ate the ingredients, which was like just drinking water.
Shi Qingqing thought the soup tasted better and even so she wouldn't be hungry at night.
The two of them got together and just felt like they were having an ordinary home-cooked meal in a lively atmosphere.
At night, Shi Qingqing took advantage of Zhao Fengnian taking off his clothes and looked at the wound again.
It's indeed no problem.
"Hubby, it's Chinese New Year again."
"Well, what's the matter? Are you worried that there will be too much work? Then I will host it this year?"
"Pfft, it's just a New Year's Eve for two of us. What's the big deal? You can host it. I'll just wait for you, right?"
Zhao Fengnian wanted to know, if it wasn’t for the New Year’s busyness, then what was it for.
