Before starting work in the afternoon, Zheng Ming came over to deliver the seeds.
“I just saw two dogs on the road. From a distance, they looked just like Shuke and Beta, but I was in a hurry and didn’t get a good look,” Zheng Ming said.
"It should be those two," Wang Jing said without hiding anything.
"They've come to the base?"
"Yes, they probably came with the team; they just arrived a few days ago."
"This is wonderful. I was reluctant to part with them before, but these dogs were worth raising. They know to look for their owner."
"It's getting late, let's go together," Zhou Pin said to Zheng Ming, glancing at his watch.
Zheng Ming's family now has an electric scooter, a two-wheeled one, which his wife and mother ride to work. He and Lao Zheng always walk when they go out.
Seeing Zhou Pin's little tricycle, he was incredibly envious and immediately got into the driver's seat. Since the base's civil servants all worked in the same compound, the two were practically going the same way and set off together.
"Once we've saved enough money, we'll buy a tricycle too. It'll be so cool to carry people and goods at the same time."
"Um"
"Your car must have been expensive, right? It's got plenty of power!"
"fine."
When are you going to propose to Xu Lin?
"Wait a little longer."
"Could you please stop speaking in such short, fragmented sentences? It's making me very embarrassed."
"Yes, I'll try my best."
"Okay, this time it's four words."
The two chatted awkwardly all the way to work.
Xu Lin received the seeds and couldn't wait to start preparing for planting. The base explained that the seeds should be soaked in water for a day to activate their activity, and because they were worried that the water at the base might not be good, they specifically used well water from their space for soaking.
I set the seeds aside to soak, and then watered the potatoes and sweet potatoes I had planted earlier. The potatoes and sweet potatoes had already sprouted, so after watering them, I pinched off a handful of sweet potato sprouts to eat that evening.
After a busy afternoon, Shuke and Beta returned and went to get a drink of water as soon as they entered. They now resolutely refuse to drink water or eat outside, only accepting food given to them by Xu Lin and Zhou Pin.
Where have you two been?
"Woof! Woof woof!" You just wait, human, we're about to get rich.
"What are you talking about!" Xu Lin muttered as she went to cook.
Xu Lin hasn't cooked in a long time, so today she's going to make a dish of sweet potato sprouts that can be prepared in multiple ways (the following recipes are from Baidu, and I have never eaten sweet potato sprouts myself).
Take tender leaf tips, blanch them in boiling water, and then make a cold dish with seasonings such as sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, mustard, and ginger juice.
Wash the tender sweet potato stems, blanch them in boiling water, rinse them with cold water, and cut them into sections. Peel and mince the garlic. Heat vegetable oil in a wok until it reaches 40% of its smoking point, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the tender sweet potato stems and stir-fry, then add chicken broth, salt, and rice wine to taste. Add MSG and sesame oil, sprinkle with the remaining minced garlic, and mix well.
Remove the tough stems from the sweet potato leaves and rinse them thoroughly with clean water; slice the red chili peppers into strips; smash and peel the garlic cloves; mix 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to make a cornstarch slurry; bring water to a boil in a pot, add 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of oil, blanch the sweet potato leaves until the leaves soften, then remove and drain; heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan over low heat, sauté the garlic cloves and red chili pepper strips until fragrant, then pour in 1 cup of water; add 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice wine, 1/3 tablespoon of sugar and 1/5 tablespoon of salt, stir well and bring to a boil, then pour in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce slightly; add the blanched sweet potato leaves and stir-fry evenly.
Xu Lin saw from a recipe that sweet potato sprouts stewed with winter melon can treat the lung and stomach dryness and heat type of diabetes, characterized by excessive thirst, dry mouth and tongue, emaciation and hunger, red tongue tip and edges, yellow and dry tongue coating, and rapid pulse.
