In the evening, Lin Manman ate her fish roe and fish maw hot pot as she wished, and also received questions from Lin Shangjing. While eating, Lin Shangjing asked:
"Little sister, the captain uncle said that Aunt Wang is the best at making dried fish. He asked you to bring the fish to her house tomorrow and let Aunt Wang teach you!"
"I don't know what the craftsmanship is for making dried fish on a kang. Isn't it just drying fish on a heated kang?"
After hearing what Lin Shangjing said, Lin Shouwang almost spit out his food. What a fool! He didn't ask Manman to go to seek the scriptures. He asked Manman to go, so the captain uncle could take the opportunity to let Aunt Wang go as well!
Lin Manman also understood what he meant. She was used to Lin Shangjing's naivety, so she nodded and agreed:
"Got it. I'll take the dried fish to ask the captain later. I saw that you brought back a lot of dried fish, so I'll give some to the captain!"
Lin Shangjing shook his head and said:
"No need for that. Captain Uncle asked Uncle Zhang to bring a basin for Sneak Smile. We don't need ours!"
"Little sister, can we start baking our dried fish tomorrow? Will it be cooked by tomorrow?"
Lin Manman looked at Lin Shangjing's greedy look and agreed:
"Yes, of course. It will be ready tomorrow. Let's fry some tonight and try it first to see if it tastes good!"
Speaking of dried fish, not only Lin Shangjing was craving for it, but Lin Manman was also craving for it. However, if you want to make this spicy dried fish delicious, you not only need dried chilies, but you also need to prepare some Sichuan peppercorns, otherwise it won’t be tasty enough!
Lin Manman doesn’t have any space for Sichuan peppercorns. She has never grown Sichuan peppercorns at home before, and she doesn’t use them much in cooking, so she has to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Sichuan peppercorns tomorrow!
Speaking of going to the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Manman thought of another thing. After all, this is a specialty of Harbin!
Lin Manman had thought about it early in the morning and decided that it would be appropriate to send some dried fish to Gu Yanting and Lin Guoping!
However, when giving gifts to Lin Guoping, leaders, or friends during the Chinese New Year, no matter how delicious the dried fish is, it would be a bit embarrassing to just give dried fish!
And there is the Gu family, they have helped so many times in a row. Lin Yintian has a special status and cannot express his gratitude. The three brothers and sisters have received so many favors, but they didn’t express any gratitude at all. How rude!
When sending gifts to the Gu family, it cannot be just dried fish. Lin Manman is also preparing some red sausage and dried sausage!
But now, not only does she not have a ticket for red and dried sausages, but even if she did have a ticket she wouldn’t be able to buy much!
So, Lin Manman came up with his own idea!
Red sausage and dried sausage are not difficult to make. The only difference is that you need the recipes and seasonings for them!
Lin Manman decided to continue slacking off tomorrow afternoon and go to the Harbin Red Sausage Factory to see if there are any "defective" seasoning recipes so that he can buy some to make red sausage and dried sausage!
…………
Lin Manman was researching what to make as a gift, but she didn't know that a family in the team was also researching her!
Aunt Zhang was urging Uncle Zhang, who was silent, to say:
"Si Niu's father, have you told his uncle's family? Just ask his uncle to find a matchmaker, not to an outsider, why is it not possible!"
Uncle Zhang said in a muffled voice:
"I can't open my mouth. Mr. Lin has such good conditions and is now a veterinarian in the commune. Our Si Niu is not worthy of him!"
"If Lin Zhiqing really wants to find someone in the team, the eldest brother's Sanniu and the captain's soldier Xiaoshu are both more promising than Siniu!"
Aunt Zhang was not convinced and said:
"Why are they not a good match? What's wrong with our Si Niu? We only have this one son and three big rooms. Who else in the team lives as spacious as us?"
"Why is your eldest brother's third cow better than our fourth cow?"
"The third ox earns more work points than the fourth ox. Whenever the Hui team goes into the mountains to hunt, they can get more meat in winter!"
"But your brother's family didn't split up. They have three sons. How many children can the eldest and second son have? It would be a big burden to have seven little ones!"
"Our Si Niu doesn't have many work points, but we two can still earn work points. Our family has no burden. How can we live worse than anyone else?"
