Chapter 66: He is just an ordinary person
After a busy day at work, I finally feel like I have some free time to relax at this time.
At this moment, the house was quiet and undisturbed, giving her a peaceful space of her own.
So he took out several large wooden barrels that had been hidden before.
When she carefully opened one of them, as expected, she found a lot of useful things in the bucket again - this time it was filled with various cloth materials and various sewing kits of different sizes.
These things were either small gifts given by the merchants as extra gifts after she bought a large amount of cloth in the market; or they were goods that she purchased individually with her own efforts and savings.
In this way, at least for the next period of time, there will be no need to worry about the shortage of such supplies.
Most of the fabric is intended to be cut and made into pajamas and daily loungewear sets for the family.
When it comes to choosing materials, people tend to choose cotton fabrics that are skin-friendly and breathable.
This not only takes comfort into consideration, but also ensures that families can have a better and more comfortable experience by selecting fabrics that are suitable for human skin and highly breathable.
When it comes to dressing, she has always preferred a simple, single-color style, so when shopping she always avoids overly fancy and complicated patterns.
This hobby actually originated from the influence of my grandmother during my childhood and was gradually formed.
Her grandmother particularly likes clothes covered with big flowers, and the colors of the clothes are always highly saturated colors such as bright red or bright green.
After growing up with so many bright colors, she sincerely hoped that these colors would not appear on her clothes.
There are also some semi-finished fabrics with patterns piled up in the warehouse.
The retro style was very popular on the Internet before. At that time, she happened to be following a costume TV series and was deeply attracted by the beautiful costumes worn by the actors in the show.
In order to imitate the style in the drama, she bought some fabrics and light gauze materials needed to make Hanfu.
However, soon after buying these items, her attention was diverted to other things, and ultimately these carefully selected materials were not used but simply became idle items in the warehouse.
In order to avoid any omissions, Zhao Chunhua decided to clean and check each bathtub carefully.
Because the height limit of this private storage space is relatively small, bathtubs are usually stacked up for storage.
Whenever the regular location can no longer accommodate more items, things that are temporarily not needed but do not want to be thrown away are placed in the empty bathtub for storage.
Surprisingly, many daily necessities and other small items are stored here.
What’s even more outrageous is that a whole bucket of already cut up fresh or frozen meat was even found at the bottom of one of the larger containers.
Many of these meat products are packaged and stored in plastic bags because people often buy large quantities at one time during daily shopping.
Then, after completing the preliminary preparations such as cutting at home, repackage it and store it in the refrigerator, with the intention of being able to take it out and use it directly before cooking next time.
But many times, because of being busy or other reasons, we forget that we have this batch of reserve grain.
There was a big bag next to it that was full of wonton wrappers. I opened it out of curiosity and found that it was actually filled with a whole bag of wonton wrappers.
This very thin and delicate bird's nest skin is a delicacy that is hard to find in the market, but if you go to a restaurant to enjoy a bowl of delicious bird's nest skin wontons, it usually costs more than ten yuan.
Considering the cost-effectiveness, Zhao Chunhua finally decided to order a large bag of such skins online to make the delicious food herself.
Although the taste is slightly inferior to the professional cooking in restaurants outside, it is already very satisfying for self-reliance.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to use a small bowl to hold half the filling, and took out about fifteen or sixteen pieces of bird's nest skin as lunch ingredients.
These thin noodles are extremely easy to reach the ideal state when boiled in water. In order not to enjoy this rare delicacy alone, the careful Zhao Chunhua specially prepared a few portions for her children at home to try.
It’s not because we don’t want our children to taste meat delicacies, but mainly because we consider that for children who are in the transition stage of complementary feeding, too much food may cause problems with overburdening the digestive system.
Through the process of sorting materials, Zhao Chunhua also summed up some lessons learned - using paper and pen tools to record in detail the specific conditions and storage locations of all items in the storage room, so as to greatly improve the speed and efficiency of finding the required items in the future.
This time, in order to give myself an extra delicious meal, I did use a relatively small and convenient way to cook the ingredients.
In fact, there is no need to use such a big stove to cook a simple meal. It is a bit of a waste of equipment.
Zhao Chunhua sighed softly, feeling that this approach was a waste of resources.
Then she opened her notebook and wrote a new to-do item: build a small clay stove.
This new stove must not only be smaller than existing stoves, but also ensure that the firepower is sufficiently concentrated. This will not only improve thermal efficiency but also greatly save the use of firewood.
If my life experience could be written into a book, the title of the book would probably be "My Frugal Life".
Thinking of the name, she couldn't help but laugh.
No matter where or when she is, she is just an ordinary person after all.
Since we are not earning much money right now, the most important thing is to learn how to budget carefully and try to make the limited income bring us the greatest happiness and satisfaction.
Fortunately, this rebirth allowed her to become a grandmother, so she no longer had to face the endless words and troubles from her family and friends urging her to get married and have children.
At this moment, it was probably around eight o'clock in the evening. Night had already fallen and the outside world was completely shrouded in darkness.
Zhao Chunhua took out a part of the bird's nest skin that had not yet been wrapped with stuffing, and crushed it carefully with a small wooden mallet. Then she added some hot soup and mixed it carefully before feeding it to the baby Shi'er who was in the teething period.
The child seemed to be enjoying the meal and had a good appetite, which made Zhao Chunhua, as an elder, feel particularly relieved.
After the baby had eaten and drunk his fill, she let the remaining warm food in the bowl cool down to a suitable temperature before letting him go play by himself.
Then Zhao Chunhua finally had the chance to sit down and enjoy her dinner - a bowl of small wontons full of seafood flavor.
She specially added some freshly picked seaweed and tender shrimps to enhance the taste, and also added two homemade fish balls to increase the flavor.
