Chapter 458: Brother Xiao Fu is happy to be the victim
Children are pitiful. Taking care of one is taking care of one, and taking care of two is also taking care of two. It is just a matter of convenience.
The Fu family are all honest and good people.
After hearing this, Zhou Hong felt relieved and thanked her repeatedly. He no longer was polite to Tang Mei and his relationship with the Fu family became closer.
This is about Zhou Shian.
Let’s talk about the young couple.
After the courtyard was tidied up, Fu Jingyou would usually stay in the mechanical and electrical factory or the library even if he had no classes in the afternoon.
This time, Fu Jingyou made an appointment with his wife to go to the seafood market, and came back early after finishing his work at the ice factory.
After having lunch at home, the couple got on their bicycles and set off.
The seafood market's cold storage requires a large amount of ice, so it is not far from Qingta Hutong.
It’s only three or four miles away.
In the future seafood market, transportation will be convenient and most fresh goods will be delivered in the evening or early morning.
So go there early and you can always buy good and fresh things.
The current stage is different. Many world-famous roads in later generations have not yet been built.
Road transportation is tortuous, and the fresh food transportation chain is even more imperfect.
Anything that can be transported from coastal areas with great difficulty is either frozen goods or relatively durable and can withstand the test.
For example, crustaceans, shellfish, etc.
Fortunately, there is no such thing as rushing too early or too late at the seafood market at this time.
Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou set out from home at around one o'clock and arrived at the place at two o'clock. The stalls inside were still open.
It’s called a seafood market, but it actually only has a dozen or so stalls.
Half of the stalls sell fresh river products, including snails and soft-shelled turtles.
At first, no one ate the soft-shelled turtles in my hometown.
Fu Jingyou saw some for sale, and the shell with the skirt was as big as a plate, and it looked quite large.
When he saw something fresh, he went up to ask how much it cost. He heard it was 80 cents per pound, which was more expensive than pork.
He turned his head to look at Lu Miao, his deep peach blossom eyes slightly widened, surprised and suspicious.
He pushed his bicycle and whispered to Lu Miao:
"This thing is so expensive, is anyone really going to buy it?"
Lu Miao knew that there was something in his mind that he hadn't said explicitly: If it's sold at such a high price, anyone who buys it will be a sucker.
Lu Miao suppressed a laugh and said, "Everyone in the city knows that this thing is nutritious and delicious if cooked properly. Haven't you eaten it before?"
Fu Jingyou thought so too.
In the past, I just thought that my daughter-in-law had good cooking skills and could make something that no one wanted to eat into a delicious dish.
Now I know that it is really a good tonic.
After understanding that this thing was a tonic, Fu Jingyou's mentality changed immediately. He pulled his wife to the stall with the armored fish basin:
"Then buy one. It's big enough for the whole family."
"We're here to see the seafood, why are we buying soft-shelled turtles? They're so expensive..."
Lu Miao stopped and refused. This time it was her turn to say that she was being taken advantage of:
"If you want to eat them, go back to your hometown later and catch a few with traps."
"That was then, and now is now. How can it be the same? Just buy one and take it home."
"Are you going to listen to me or not? Do you want me to twist your ears in front of others?"
“…”
Fu Jingyou choked, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, I won't buy it. You really are..."
"You are the real one."
Lu Miao gave him a cold look and walked ahead.
Fu Jingyou shook his head, and the tall man followed obediently beside him, pushing his bicycle.
There aren't many kinds of seafood sold in the market, but for this era, it's pretty good.
Lu Miao didn't dare to buy too much because he was afraid that it wouldn't keep well in the hot weather.
I weighed three pounds of oysters, three pounds of scallops, bought a frozen hairtail, and also bought some dried seaweed and kelp.
All in all, it cost three dollars and fifty cents.
The stall also sells large lobsters, which are priced by the piece. The smaller ones are four yuan, and the larger ones are six to eight yuan.
It’s about three yuan per pound.
The price is low, but this price is not cheap.
Lu Miao looked at it with envy and said to Fu Jingyou that he would come back to buy it next time.
I bought a lot this time and will eat them when I get home.
Avoid buying too much and wasting it.
Fu Jingyou nodded and kept it in mind.
My wife wants to eat lobster, so I have to buy this.
As for the nutritious soft-shelled turtle, he will get one back sooner or later.
Once a man makes up his mind, he becomes extremely stubborn.
I have already forgotten who thought that whoever bought the soft-shelled turtle would be the one being cheated.
On the way home, I went to the market behind the alley again.
Lu Miao picked and chose and bought a big bag of garlic.
Although Fu Jingyou waited patiently, his face was full of confusion:
"Will that be enough?"
"That's about right. If I can't use the rest, I can use it slowly later. It won't go bad in a short time."
"good."
"Almost."
Lu Miao paid for the garlic and stood up and said:
"Go around and see which store has fresh green onions."
"good."
After buying everything I needed, I got home at around three o'clock.
Although the time was good, Lu Miao started to prepare actively.
Fu Jingyou was assigned to open oyster shells.
The edges of the oyster shells were very sharp, and he didn't take any precautions when he first touched them.
When I used a kitchen knife to open the shell, a cut was made under my index finger and a lot of blood came out.
When Tang Mei saw this, she helped peel the garlic while staring at Lu Miao and nagging:
"Tell me, what's not good to eat?"
"Why do you have to eat this weird thing? I'm bleeding so much before I even put it in my mouth..."
"How much refined food is needed to raise him back?"
Lu Miao went over to check Fu Jingyou's wound and was relieved only after confirming that there was no serious problem.
Lu Miao also listened to Tang Mei's words and muttered with a pout:
"I see. Can't I just not buy it next time?"
Tang Mei sighed and said nothing more. She took a pair of scissors to the well and helped to knock open the oyster shells.
In the kitchen, Lu Miao pouted.
I originally wanted to buy some fresh food so that everyone could enjoy it together, but before we even started, my good mood was gone.
By the well, Fu Jingyou spoke for her:
"This is what I want to eat. I've never seen this in the south. I bought it because it's so rare."
Tang Mei glanced at him and said, "What are you like, what is she like, I don't know it yet?"
Fu Jingyou grumbled, but still chose to defend his wife:
"Aunt knows what she is like, so why would she criticize her? She can do whatever she wants, why would she criticize her?"
Tang Mei was choked by him.
It’s a good thing that the son-in-law loves their little treasure, but isn’t this a bit too spoiled?
never mind.
Let young people deal with their own affairs!
Tang Mei didn't care.
Lu Miao soaked two handfuls of vermicelli.
After chopping the garlic and green onions, she picked some small red peppers in the yard and chopped them into small pieces for later use.
There are several children at home, so I didn’t want to make it too spicy, so I just cut a chili pepper as a garnish.
Light a fire in the stove, pour oil into the pot, and when the oil heats up, pour a large handful of minced garlic on the chopping board into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant.
Then pour in the chili powder, add salt and soy sauce as usual, then add two spoons of sugar and continue to stir-fry.
After waiting for the soy sauce to spread evenly and change color, Lu Miao picked up some minced garlic with chopsticks to taste.
