Winter is coming.
The women in the residential compound got busy, taking advantage of the good weather to air out their quilts, wash clothes, and take out their old cotton-padded clothes to air them out and beat them to fluff up the cotton again.
Besides making sauerkraut, Sister-in-law Sheng does this kind of thing.
Take out Little Potato's old clothes, wash and dry them, and they can be given to Little Cherry to wear.
I bought new fabric and stocked up on new cotton, and I'll also make clothes for my two children.
Sister-in-law Sheng has her own sewing machine and can make it herself.
She also greeted Ruan Yunxi, saying that she could ask her for help if she needed anything, since she had nothing to do at home in the winter anyway, and making clothes was a good way to pass the time.
Ruan Yunxi put all the thick clothes from the mansion, as well as other people's clothes, into her storage space.
She wears her own clothes.
Ning Zhenzhen and Lu's mother still have a lot of nice clothes in the space.
Ruan Yunxi felt uncomfortable and refused to wear Lu's mother, Le Yao, and Le's mother's clothes.
However, you can give it to someone else.
Or perhaps they'll be sold secondhand.
You can definitely make money on the black market.
You know, fabrics are hard to come by these days, and so is cotton.
Of all the people in the country, winter is the most unbearable season.
Many people wear the same cotton-padded coat all year round. The cotton in the coat is all matted and not fluffy or warm at all. It looks like they've been wearing it for many years.
Ruan Yunxi has no shortage of clothes.
Gu Weizhou and his men also had military overcoats.
Being in the military is great; the men are all provided with clothes, pants, shoes, socks, and so on.
And gloves too.
The women in the fishing village liked to exchange gloves with them.
The gloves can be taken apart and used to knit sweaters for the child.
Ruan Yunxi also arrived here and saw that her sister-in-law was taking out unwanted gloves to exchange for fish and shrimp.
It's cold now, and the women don't want to go beachcombing. There's not much seafood, and they might catch a cold, so it's not worth it.
The women don't go beachcombing; if they want seafood, they exchange it with the fishermen.
Fishermen often come here from the back gate of the residential compound to exchange needles, thread, old clothes, and other odds and ends after they come back from fishing.
With his sister-in-law by his side, life was manageable, and the family had a lot of new clothes. Seeing the children who came with him to sell fish barefoot, their trousers barely covering their feet, he felt sorry for them and gave them the clothes and trousers that the children could no longer wear.
I originally intended to cut it up and use it as a shoe upper.
Seeing that the girl was about the same age as his own child when he was little, he couldn't bear it and decided to do a good deed.
Fishermen don't take advantage of others. If they receive a favor, they'll give the women who bring old clothes and fabrics more fish and larger fish next time they come to exchange for fish, and the fish will be of much better quality.
Ruan Yunxi has no shortage of fish to eat. In winter, when she doesn't want to eat raw fish, she stews seafood porridge.
Now she has even learned how to make seafood porridge.
It was very simple for her.
After soaking the rice for two hours, fry the shrimp heads to extract the shrimp oil, then boil the oil in water. Pour the oil into a clay pot, filter out any impurities, and add the soaked rice, shredded ginger, dried scallops, soaked shiitake mushrooms, and the water used to soak the shiitake mushrooms.
Ruan Yunxi likes to eat shiitake mushrooms.
After simmering for a while, she prepares the shrimp by deveining them, then adds some oysters or sea oysters, as well as chopped sea cucumbers, abalone, and various types of crabs such as blue crabs, swimming crabs, and flower crabs.
Add the congee to a clay pot, and before serving, sprinkle with some celery leaves, or other leafy greens, or cabbage leaves. Add a pinch of salt, stir, and a delicious pot of seafood congee is ready.
Ruan Yunxi cooks a huge pot of food at a time.
If she couldn't finish it in one meal, she would put it away while it was still hot, and scoop out a bowl whenever she wanted to eat it.
Drinking porridge in winter keeps her warm, and Ruan Yunxi likes it very much.
The main point is that cooking one pot can last for several days.
Every time Sister-in-law Sheng asked her what she wanted for lunch, she would either say she wanted seafood porridge or noodles.
Sometimes when Sister-in-law Sheng makes dumplings or cooks something delicious, she'll invite Ruan Yunxi to eat with her.
Ruan Yunxi discovered that the delicious food that Sister-in-law Sheng mentioned was not quite the same as the delicious food she had imagined.
She can't stand eating dumplings every meal.
