The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.
It's time to claim our perks again.
Ruan Yunxi and Sister-in-law Sheng went to collect welfare together.
The women who didn't receive zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) during the Dragon Boat Festival were quite well-behaved this time. They didn't cause any trouble in the residential compound and successfully received a tube of mooncakes, as well as rice, flour, oil, and a five-yuan Mid-Autumn Festival bonus.
Five yuan could buy almost ten jin of meat, and the women were very happy.
They were all overjoyed and went to the logistics department to buy meat.
The base raises its own pigs, and they slaughter pigs during festivals such as Chinese New Year.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we're slaughtering pigs to eat meat.
Many of the women want fatty meat.
Ruan Yunxi wasn't picky about fatty meat. When she saw pig tails, she wanted to eat them, so she asked for two pig tails and asked Gu Weizhou to make braised pig tails for her.
The other women laughed at Ruan Yunxi for being silly when they saw her buying cheap pig tails to eat.
Why not good pork belly? Why choose unwanted pig tails?
There are also spare ribs, pig's trotters, and the like.
What's so delicious about those? Fatty meat is the only good thing!
They lack oil in their diet, so naturally they prefer to eat fatty meat.
Ruan Yunxi has plenty of food, but she loves eating bones, such as pig tails, ribs, and pig trotters. They're delicious when stewed until they're soft and chewy!
Ruan Yunxi also soaked bird's nest. Gu Weizhou rested, and Ruan Yunxi found him some work to do.
Gu Weizhou knew that there was bird's nest at home and that Ruan Yunxi wanted to eat it, so he was naturally willing to stew it for her. In autumn and winter, people need to nourish themselves, so there is not only bird's nest stewed with milk, but also snow frog stewed with milk and fish maw stewed with milk.
For milk, you need milk coupons.
Gu Weizhou had previously given all the milk coupons to other women in the family compound, such as Sister Sheng.
Now Ruan Yunxi wants to drink milk, and they can use the milk coupons themselves.
Every day there is a can of milk, such as bird's nest milk and snow frog milk stewed by Gu Weizhou. If they can't finish it, they put it in their space. Sometimes when Sister-in-law Sheng comes over and meets Ruan Yunxi drinking bird's nest, she will let them taste it.
Knowing that bird's nest is expensive, Sister-in-law Sheng was too embarrassed to keep eating Ruan Yunxi's.
Knowing that she drinks bird's nest milk or fish maw milk as afternoon tea after waking up from her afternoon nap, Sister-in-law Sheng doesn't come to see Ruan Yunxi at this time, so as not to eat her family's tonics every day and then not be able to repay the favor, which would be too bad!
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone in the residential compound was busy preparing a big meal.
With meat and seafood at home, you can enjoy a good meal.
Ruan Yunxi's family ate braised pig tail, along with boiled prawns, salted egg yolk crab, and grilled oysters. The young couple ate with great relish.
Sister-in-law Sheng made dumplings and sent Little Potato and Little Cherry to deliver forty or fifty of them.
There were mackerel dumplings, sea urchin dumplings, pork dumplings, and shrimp dumplings. Ruan Yunxi tried one of each. Sister Sheng was good at making dumplings, and the fillings were also well-seasoned, with just the right amount of saltiness. Ruan Yunxi loved them.
Gu Weizhou ate the rest; he finished all the dumplings.
Ruan Yunxi also asked the little potato siblings to pack a portion of braised pig tails to take back. The pig tails were tender and juicy, and not greasy at all. They were so satisfying.
After eating the pig's tail, Group Leader Sheng said, "The pig's tail is delicious. Next time, we'll buy some to stew."
Sister-in-law Sheng nodded, acknowledging how much of a good eater Comrade Ruan was. The pig tail stew, which others didn't like, was actually quite delicious. The skin was soft and chewy, fatty but not greasy, and there was meat and bone, making it very flavorful to gnaw on.
Gu Weizhou stewed it until it was soft and tender; one bite and it was very flavorful!
Gu Weizhou's cooking skills are getting better and better.
Ruan Yunxi is growing to love the food Gu Weizhou makes.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Miao Huahua also got to eat a piece of pork cracklings and a bowl of mixed rice. Her rice had more sorghum and less rice, as the extra rice was given to others, and she could only eat the coarse sorghum.
The old woman looked at Miao Huahua, who seemed to have gained a little weight, and snorted coldly: "All you know is eating. You've eaten so much, but there's still no sign of pregnancy in your belly. If you can't get pregnant this year, you can go back to your parents' home next year. We don't want people who eat for free."
Miao Huahua's foolish husband just kept his head down and ate.
