Knowing that Ye Zhaozhao was hosting a dinner party the next day, Sun Xiuhua suggested that she could collect more seafood to take home as a dish.
"Although this seafood tastes fishy, at least it's meat."
In those days, resources were scarce, and even soldiers were no exception. They only had two jin of meat coupons per month, so it was impossible to eat meat in large quantities.
"Sister-in-law Sun, seafood isn't fishy at all when it's properly prepared; it tastes delicious."
"real?"
Sun Xiuhua was a little incredulous. She had been eating seafood for two years, and no matter how she washed it, it always had a fishy smell. If she weren't so craving meat, who would eat this stuff?
Chen Su-fen also came over.
"Is the seafood from Battalion Commander Gu's family really that delicious?"
"Really, it will be fine once it's handled properly."
Hearing that it was delicious, everyone picked up more. Ye Zhaozhao also had a good haul today, including scallops, clams, oysters, mussels, whelks, octopus, and mantis shrimp.
After filling a bucket to the brim, Ye Zhaozhao stopped. Everyone else had finished too. Just then, they saw Gu Yunduan arrive.
Sun Xiuhua watched as Gu Yunduan took the bucket and walked ahead, then spoke to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Zhaozhao, your Battalion Commander Gu is a wife-loving man. He even came to pick you up when he knew you were going to go beachcombing."
Ye Zhaozhao felt that Gu Yunduan was indeed a good person, but she didn't show it on the surface. Sun Xiuhua thought that she didn't believe her because of this.
"Look at all these people going to the beach, which man came to pick them up? Only your Battalion Commander Gu."
The two chatted until they arrived home. Once home, Ye Zhaozhao added a spoonful of salt and half a spoonful of cooking oil to the seafood in the bucket, letting it purge the sand.
After finishing her meal, Ye Zhaozhao carefully planned what to buy for tomorrow. When she saw Gu Yunduan come in after taking a shower, she asked him.
Is there anything you want to buy?
"I'll buy you a pair of leather shoes."
