Chapter 208 Convincing People with Reason
"The way you do it consumes a lot of oil, and it's not easy to get all the spices."
They had never even heard of things like cardamom.
Yi Chichi did not deny this, "That's true, I brought all those spices from my hometown."
As for oil, they had oil coupons and a quota every month. They didn't cook very often, so they could still afford it once or twice.
It’s actually unbearable if it happens too many times.
“Stir-frying is also OK.”
Afterwards, she taught several cooking methods that save oil and avoid blanching.
As mentioned above, raw pickles can be found in the yard. If you don’t have any, you can ask your neighbors for some. No one will refuse such a small amount.
The next things are soy sauce, chili peppers and the like, which are must-have items for every household.
Then, raw pickling was favored by everyone.
"It can be pickled raw, with little waste, and the seasonings are common, so it's not difficult to make."
Ji Jian happily announced, "I'm going to do it tonight."
"Let me try, too."
Seeing that they all wanted to try it, Yi Chichi reminded them, "It's okay to eat it once in a while, don't eat it often, be careful to prevent bacterial infection."
Thinking of individual differences, she reminded again, "Also, some people's physiques are not suitable for raw pickling, and eating it may cause diarrhea."
"We'll keep an eye on it."
That's fine.
However, they didn't expect that after everyone present had gone through the difficult period of acclimatization, each one became stronger than the other.
The raw marinated dish was highly praised and surprisingly suited to my appetite.
Just one thing, the consumption of liquor is a bit high.
Therefore, Yi Chichi asked them to use white wine to sterilize, and all the wine tickets of the men in the family were confiscated.
I was complained when I heard it.
"Why did your wife teach them how to make pickled vegetables? I'm out of wine."
Lin Qiuping had a sad face and was in unbearable grief, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.
Qi Zhiyuan and the others are not much better.
Wen Shi's answer was to roll up his sleeves and say coldly, "Avoid smoking and drinking. You really don't take discipline seriously."
"Stop talking nonsense, we are not drinking during working hours."
What a shameless violation of discipline.
"I don't care, just give me your drink ticket."
"No."
"I don't believe it."
Lin Qiuping put his hands around his neck and said murderously, "I'm telling you, if you don't give us your wine ticket, we'll have a fight."
"Not a single fight."
Wen Shi didn't take the threat and said calmly, "My wife will be back the day after tomorrow. I've been busy exchanging national tickets for her these past few days. I really don't have any extra wine tickets for you."
There are a lot of relatives and friends in my hometown waiting for me to take his wife to visit them, so I can't go there empty-handed.
The dried seafood and fruits sent back can be used as gifts, but his wife is too pampered and won’t tolerate any grievances in food and clothing, and she also has to take care of the old man and others.
As a husband, he couldn't let his wife live a worse life after marrying him than when she was single.
"Do you have any way to help me exchange some national tickets?"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Qi Zhiyuan.
Qi Zhiyuan wanted to curse, this black-hearted beast, he wanted the whole country to vote for him before, and now he is looking for him again.
Did he owe him in his previous life?
But there was no way to refuse.
"I'll get you some tomorrow."
"Okay."
Wen Shimei was delighted, while Qi Zhiyuan and the others were dismayed. They still wanted to get some wine tickets, but in the end they didn't get any and even had to pay for it.
"Why doesn't my sister-in-law join the army?"
Is it possible that life in my hometown is better than on the island? "I'm going back to my hometown to be with my mother."
The real reason is that I am worried about the old man and his grandson.
Unless the overall environment improves, his wife will not join the army.
"Are you willing to do that?"
"I'm reluctant to leave, but her life in her hometown is better than here."
With my mother, Uncle Yaozi, and Captain Uncle taking care of me, I can't bear the hardship.
On the contrary, it would be bad to stay on the island, because he couldn't accompany him for a long time. Once he went out to sea, he might not come back for several months, which would be no different from staying at home.
Why let her be trapped in the family area?
Lin Qiuping said, "You two should have a child."
With children, you can stay at ease.
Wen Shi's mouth twitched, "I just got married not long ago, there's no rush."
That's true.
So, let's stop talking about this topic.
Then, a group of people went around looking for votes for him nationwide.
The night before Yi Chichi left, Wen Shi came back with a bunch of national tickets and gave them to her.
She looked at the dates, ranging from two months to half a year, but there was no one month deadline.
This really took a lot of effort.
"Isn't it easy to change these tickets?!"
"Ask Lao Qi and the others for help. If everyone contributes a little, we can get it together."
"Have you thanked them?"
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You are not a fool. I know the ways of the world."
"That's awesome of you."
Yi Chichi replied jokingly, took the overalls, turned them over and started hiding the bills.
The public security is not very good now, and the journey from the island to Heilongjiang Province is long. The time for transfers adds up to five or six days. She cannot guarantee that she will be in good spirits during these days.
It’s safer to hide it in advance even if you feel sleepy and fall asleep.
She didn't want to be stolen.
Wen Shi had never noticed the secret hidden in her pants before. The main reason was that she had only worn the pants on the day she came and had kept them in the closet since then. He had no idea that there were so many hidden pockets inside.
The key is that these secret pockets are sewn together seamlessly. You can stuff a few tickets in this secret pocket and a few more in that secret pocket, and it won’t be visible at all.
“You…”
After she hid everything and turned her pants inside out, Wen Shi couldn't hide his curiosity and took them to pinch here and look there, his eyes full of surprise, "It's OK, I can't even tell there's something inside."
"I hid like this when I came."
Yi Chichi smiled, "Isn't your wife great?"
She knows very well that wealth should not be shown off.
“Excellent.”
Sure enough, he married the right wife. This little girl is really smart.
"Lao Lu's wife came over before and her money and ticket were stolen. She almost couldn't get there."
Yi Chichi was silent for a moment. If it was Lao Lu’s wife, she would indeed be easily targeted by thieves.
The girl looked delicate and soft, but her behavior was extremely flamboyant. Her personality was not very likable to begin with, and she was not very popular in the family quarters and had few friends. She also could not speak.
She has the ability to make people angry and want to fight with her as soon as she opens her mouth.
"Who are you talking about? Talk about her."
Yi Chichi looked disgusted, and narrowed his eyes when he heard it, "Are you two having a conflict?"
"No."
When he heard this, he felt relieved. Fortunately, he thought his wife had suffered a loss.
But she immediately said, "I caught her saying bad things about me behind my back."
"What?"
"She said you were blind to find a lesbian like me who stays in my room all day and doesn't have any interpersonal relationships, and she even said I'm not worthy of you."
She smiled and said playfully, "Before I could even get back at her, Sister Ji and the others scolded her like a machine gun and she ran away crying."
Wen Shi: "...So, you won without doing anything?"
Yi Chi Chi felt something was wrong with what he said. She looked at him suspiciously, "Why, do you still want me to fight with her?"
"You don't want to suffer any loss."
The implication is that it's not a question of whether he wants to, but whether she will do it.
Yi Chichi thought it made sense, "I don't fight, I only know how to convince others with reason."
