Chapter 116: Sister-in-law, you finally got it?
At this time, she mashed the steamed yam with a spoon and put it into a large bowl. She then added an egg and some flour and stirred it into a dough-like consistency.
Knead into a smooth dough.
Roll into long strips and cut into small pieces of appropriate size.
Then use your hands to shape it into small cakes, wrap the cooled hawthorn cake in the middle, knead it together and press it into a cake shape.
Yu Shu looked at it with some curiosity: "Weiwei, can I help you with this?"
Song Shiwei actually wanted her to learn how to cook so that she would have something to do to pass the time.
"Sister-in-law, wash your hands and I will teach you!"
When Yu Shu heard that she agreed, she was so happy: "Okay!"
While agreeing, he quickly washed his hands.
After wiping it dry, Song Shiwei began to teach her carefully: "Sister-in-law, just stretch it with your hands, and then pinch it with your hands to make small cakes..."
While teaching, she observed Yu Shu's expression.
Seeing that she was enjoying it, I couldn't help but smile.
People really can't be too idle. If Yu Shu had a job, she probably wouldn't have the time to think about random things.
I get up every day and go to work. After work, I have to cook. After eating, I am so tired that I want to fall asleep immediately. How can I have time to feel sad about the passing of time?
Look, she does it quite well.
Song Shiwei simply left this step to her.
She cleaned the wok, put it on the stove, and applied a layer of hot oil.
Put the pinched cakes into the pot, sprinkle some black sesame seeds on them, fry on low heat until both sides are golden brown, then add a little water, cover and simmer for 30 seconds before serving.
This yam appetizer is soft and sweet, and the hawthorn inside is sour and sweet. It is really delicious.
I don’t know whether it was because I personally participated in the production or because this yam cake is really delicious.
Yu Shu ate two in a row and still felt unsatisfied.
Song Shiwei fried all the pancakes, added a spoonful of salt to the cucumber shreds just cut, mixed well and marinated.
Pour water into the pot, wait for it to boil, add half a spoonful of salt and a small amount of oil, put the shredded carrots just cut into it and blanch them for about 60 seconds, then take them out and soak them in cold water. This will keep the carrots crispy and tender.
Beat two eggs, some salt and starch water in a bowl and mix well.
Pour a small amount of oil into the pan, spread the egg mixture into egg pancakes, and then cut into thin strips.
Song Shiwei drained the water from the pickled cucumber shreds and added shredded carrots and eggs.
Add appropriate amount of salt and sugar.
Afraid that she couldn't eat spicy food yet, Song Shiwei fried the chopped garlic in hot oil and poured the oil over the shredded pork.
Drizzle some vinegar and sesame oil, and the cold mixed vegetable dish is ready.
It is refreshing, degreasy and tasty.
Song Shiwei brought this dish, a bowl of soup, and a plate of yam cakes to the table.
Although Yu Shu had already eaten a lot, she couldn't help but eat some more.
By the end of the meal, even Yu Shu herself was a little surprised.
This is almost her normal two-day meal amount.
On weekdays, she only drinks about a bowl of porridge a day, but today she drank a bowl and a half, plus four small cakes, and ate a lot of cold mixed vegetables.
It's refreshing and I don't feel like vomiting after eating it.
"Weiwei, this is amazing. I ate so much."
Song Shiwei packed up her things and smiled: "How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yu Shu shook her head.
"No, it's just..."
She lowered her head and rubbed her belly embarrassedly.
"It's just that I'm a little tired from eating!"
After saying this, she even laughed.
After rushing to wash the dishes, Song Shiwei didn't let her rest.
Resting right after eating can cause the food to remain in your stomach.
Just at this time, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wu also came back from dinner.
Song Shiwei thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we go to the department store and see if there are any new good things."
Yu Shu hasn't been out for a long time. Today, she took a walk with Song Shiwei and bought some things at the supply and marketing cooperative. It felt pretty good.
So, when she heard her say she wanted to go to the department store, Yu Shu agreed.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do every day anyway!"
So Xiao Wu drove and the group went directly to the department store.
This two-story department store sells a pretty comprehensive range of items.
Song Shiwei and Yu Shu wandered around and looked around, and passed by a counter selling men's clothing.
Yu Shu took a liking to a woolen sweater at first sight.
The sweater did look nice. The salesperson noticed her gaze and walked over with a smile to take the sweater down from the hanging shelf.
"Comrade, you have a good eye. This sweater is a rare commodity. It just arrived today. Isn't it the beginning of autumn? The weather is getting colder day by day. This sweater is in great demand. Now there is only one left!"
Yu Shu took it in her hand and touched it. It was indeed of good quality, thick and warm. She thought that she seemed to have neglected Gu Changrong too much in the past few years.
I have never cared about him or bought him clothes.
Instead, he would often buy her new clothes and bring them home to make her happy.
It seems like he has been wearing the same few pieces for several years, over and over again.
There were some places that were worn out, but he never asked her to help him sew. He would take the needle in one hand and the thread in the other, and spend a long time trying to thread the thread in front of the light.
It was a little crooked at first, but eventually it became quite neat.
As time went by, they all grew older.
Touching the wool sweater, Yu Shu's eyes suddenly turned red.
Song Shiwei also noticed it, and she reached out and touched it.
Good quality, thick and nice style.
"Buy one for the ancient scribe!"
Yu Shu raised her eyes and looked at her, her eyes had already turned red.
"I suddenly realized that I have been quite ashamed of my old Gu all these years!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Wu almost cried when he saw this scene.
Sister-in-law, you finally got it, right?
If the secretary heard this, he would probably be happy for the whole year!
In the end, Yu Shu not only bought a sweater, but also bought a black windbreaker for Secretary Gu.
I heard it's from Guangzhou. The things there are very fashionable and trendy.
Song Shiwei also likes this windbreaker very much.
Unfortunately, Zhou Tingyue is in the army almost 365 days a year, so he has no chance to wear it, so he just put it aside after buying it.
It would be better to wait until the weather gets colder and buy some down jackets for him and the other children for the winter.
She also wanted to wear a down jacket, which was warm and light, but the price was almost sky-high.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, Make money, make money, you must make money!
How can you live a good life without making money?
When I think about the country’s policy coming out by the end of this year.
Song Shiwei was inexplicably eager to try.
In fact, at this time, there were already many individual business owners setting up stalls in front of the gates of major family courtyards in the city.
There were people selling popsicles, people selling fruits, people selling cigarettes on bicycles, and people secretly selling melon seeds at the entrance of the cinema.
Everyone is secretly doing small businesses to make money.
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about doing something, but the main reason is that Qilian Island is too far away from Qing City.
In addition, Zhou Tingyue is a soldier. Without the country's permission, she cannot discredit Zhou Tingyue or the family of soldiers.
After shopping, she and Yu Shu held hands and were about to go out.
Suddenly she heard someone calling her: "Comrade Xiao Song?!"
