Chapter 149 Milk Skin and Milk Tofu
After the woman locked the door, we walked together toward the center of the base.
Upon arriving at the base center, the woman first went to the registration desk, gave her name, and was then allowed to enter the cryogenic chamber.
I am not a member of the base and am not allowed to enter the cryogenic chamber.
A moment later, the woman came out carrying a bag.
She walked up to me and opened the bag: "There are four pieces of milk tofu and six sheets of milk skin here. Do you want them all?"
I'd like to have them all, but I don't know how this woman can exchange them.
"I brought two boxes of eggs, four pairs of new gloves and two bottles of fruit wine. Please give me whatever you can exchange for."
I still need to leave some for Brother Liu and Taozi; this is all I can offer.
After thinking for a while, the woman simply pushed the bag in front of me: "Oh, take it all. I don't know how many to exchange, so I'll just give it all to you. I can make new ones."
This time, I'm the one who benefited. How much milk does it take to make milk tofu and milk skin?
"Thank you, thank you. I'll bring more supplies next time I come, and I'll make it up to you."
"What compensation? Gloves, wine, and eggs are all in short supply right now. Exchanging these for me is more than enough."
We exchanged pleasantries and walked towards the small truck.
Once in the car, I handed the gloves, wine, and eggs to the woman. She was very happy to see them and told me to bring something back to exchange for them next time before heading home.
I took the two rabbits, two bottles of floral water, and four pairs of gloves off the car and went inside. At this time, Brother Liu had already woken up and was sitting half-upright, leaning against the quilt. I happened to run into Taozi there as well.
"Didn't I ask Taozi to go with you? Why did you go by yourself?"
Aunt Liu said to me, half concerned and half reproachful.
I grinned and said, "Oh, this is such a small thing, I can handle it all by myself. I'm already old enough, so don't worry, sister-in-law."
I put the things on the kang (a heated brick bed) and said, "Last time when we were transporting coal, Taozi and Brother Liu helped me a lot. I'm giving you some things."
"Girl, you're being too polite with us."
Brother Liu's face was swollen and his speech was unclear.
I ignored Brother Liu's words and proceeded to divide the four pairs of gloves and two bottles of floral water into two portions.
“Brother Liu and Taozi each get one, and there are two more rabbits in the outer room, one for each of you.”
"Oh, sister, you really don't need to be so polite. Why do you keep bringing us things?"
Sister-in-law Liu spoke up again, blaming me for taking the things.
"Hey, stop scolding me, stop scolding me. I won't take it next time, okay? Come and look at this floral water. I invented it myself, and it works really well. Mosquitoes don't dare to come near it at all."
I interrupted Aunt Liu directly, diverted her attention, and started introducing the floral water.
"Really that effective? Don't even mention it, there are so many mosquitoes this year, I'm covered in bites."
As expected, Aunt Liu's attention was diverted, and she held up the bottle of floral water and looked at it carefully.
"Yes, yes, I was bitten a few days ago and that's when I looked up the remedy in the book. I didn't have enough ingredients, so I did some random research myself, and it turned out to be quite effective."
After hearing what I said, Aunt Liu praised me highly again.
"It's getting late, I have to go. I've been here for so long, the livestock at home are starving."
"Oh dear, it's time to go. I won't keep you any longer. Go home early, it's not safe to stay late."
"Sis, I just got some goat milk from someone else's house for you. This kitten only started eating solid food recently, so it'll need to drink milk for a few days. Don't you have a refrigerator? Freeze it in the refrigerator, and take it out to thaw before feeding the kitten. It'll be just like fresh goat milk, so it won't affect its drinking."
I was a little surprised; I didn't expect that Taozi had disappeared just now specifically to help me find goat milk.
I didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the four bottles of goat milk directly.
"Thank you, Taozi."
"My goodness, this young man is so thoughtful. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to marry him."
While praising me, Aunt Liu subtly hinted at something in her words.
Amused by Aunt Liu's melodious tone, he waved and got into the car.
We really can't delay any longer; I was planning to go to town to search for supplies.
Drive to the base center and take the two bottles of liquor from the car to the base commander.
When the base commander saw the liquor I was carrying, he refused to accept anything I brought for the first time: "Hey, it would be too much to bring anything again today."
“One thing at a time. This is a gift of gratitude from you for finding such a good thing as coal.”
I shoved the liquor into the base commander's arms and turned to leave. He called after me, but I didn't turn around.
As I drove into town, I was surprised to find a familiar car following me. It was a vehicle from the Bai Town base, apparently sent by the base elder to protect me.
I turned my car into the vicinity of the house with the basement where I was last time, intending to find some supplies before going back.
What I'm looking for this time is very simple—a few nice flower pots.
Although the flower seeds were planted under the windowsill, I still want to grow some in flowerpots so that I can have flowers to look at in winter.
I searched several rooms and found seven or eight pretty vases, along with a few small spray bottles and a bunch of clothes hangers.
Although we have quite a few clothes hangers at home, the more the merrier. Even if we don't want to use them anymore, we can straighten them and use them as wire.
After putting everything in the car, and seeing that the kitten was in good condition and still sleeping soundly, I greedily went to search the row of bungalows furthest from the center of the street.
This row of bungalows is located between the residential area and the school, with high walls on both sides, making it easy to overlook.
Once I entered the first room, I knew my hunch was right. There were still many things inside, probably only having been searched once or twice.
The first room looked like a young person's home; two oversized suitcases were found under the bed.
I opened the suitcase. The first suitcase was full of dolls, and they were all brand new. I picked out a few ugly ones and threw them out, but I kept the rest.
You can take it home as a toy for your cat or dog, or wash it and use it as a decoration. Anyway, the truck bed has plenty of space, so it won't make a difference if you take this suitcase.
Pick out some loose, comfortable clothes from the wardrobe that are easy to work in, and put them in a suitcase along with the dolls.
Hurry up and check out the kitchen; young people tend to have a wider variety of kitchen utensils and tableware.
Sure enough, I saw the air fryer as soon as I came in. Since I hadn't bought one, I took it with me.
The oven looks dirty, so I'll discard it.
An oven? If you have an oven, you must have a baking tray. The baking tray I use at home is a frying pan. Wouldn't it be great if I could find a real baking tray?
I quickly opened all the cabinet doors and found six rectangular baking trays on the top shelf, all in pretty macaron colors.
There were also two large bags of oil paper and several brand-new wooden brushes next to it. Overjoyed, I took them all.
In addition, all the stainless steel basins and bowls were also taken away.
