Chapter 936 Friction
After arranging everything in the factory yard, Lu Miao went home.
When I entered the house, I saw Tang Mei sitting by the well with a small stool, struggling to open oysters.
Lu Miao glanced at his watch and said, "Aunt, don't bother. Brother You will be back soon. He is an old hand at opening oysters."
Tang Mei snorted with a laugh and continued working without even looking up:
"We can't rely on him this time. He just called me this afternoon and said he was going to Tianjin for another meeting and would be back later today."
"What? Another meeting?"
"Isn't it? The weather is getting colder, and it's slowly approaching the end of the year. That's when it will be more common."
Don't blame Tang Mei for saying that.
That was the case last year.
Lu Miao nodded, thinking that he would no longer be a hands-off boss. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white elbows, and walked to the well and said:
"Aunt, stop it, let me do it."
"How can you do this? What if you hurt your hand? Go away, go away."
"Oh, I can do it! Go find a basin and bring the pried ones into the house first. Then pick some garlic cloves, pick more... I'll do the rest."
Lu Miao snatched the kitchen knife from her hand, pulled her up and sat on the small stool himself.
Tang Mei couldn't refuse her, so she had to do as she was told. She went into the house and started picking garlic by the chimney stove.
Let’s talk about oysters.
Lu Miao really doesn't know how to drive.
When she bought it in the past, she tried to help open it, but she cut her hand, and Fu Jingyou never let her handle these things again.
But if you don’t know how to open it, you have to know how to eat it.
Lu Miao poured all the oysters into the vegetable washing pool, filled the pool with water, and washed them one by one.
I scrubbed the bucket back and forth several times, and finally rinsed it clean before filling it with oysters and carrying it to the kitchen.
Tang Mei's garlic has also been peeled.
Lu Miao asked to scoop out more, so Tang Mei scooped out half of the bowl.
Lu Miao put water into the pot, placed a steaming tray on the pot, and threw the oysters in to steam.
While Tang Mei was making a fire, she turned around and chopped garlic, green onions and other seasonings.
The steam in the pot lasted for a few minutes. Lu Miao took a look and saw that the oysters were opening one after another, so he called a stop.
Open oysters are much easier to peel.
Lu Miao scooped out the oysters and asked Tang Mei to shell them.
She cleaned the stove and quickly fried the secret ingredients.
The oysters are very big, and only a few can be steamed in one pot, but this just matches Tang Mei's speed in shucking them.
Lu Miao steamed a pot of shrimp with minced garlic first, and then helped Tang Mei to open the shells.
Put the oysters in a pot with cold water and steam until the water boils. It takes about seven minutes in total and the first pot of oysters is ready.
Lu Miao moved the small table to the kitchen, served the food and called the children to come and eat.
We have eaten oysters many times at home. Now that Shi'an, Mingyi and Mingxia are a little older, they can eat them slowly by themselves.
Lu Miao just let them go without paying much attention.
Only Baichuan was still young and chubby, and couldn't do it at all.
Lu Miao took an oyster and carefully removed the scallop with chopsticks. A large oyster had to be cut into several pieces before being fed to Xiao Baichuan.
But even so, the child still choked.
Large oysters taste hearty, but over time, the scallop meat will become firm and chewy.
Baichuan couldn't chew it, and the food filled his cheeks and he choked.
"Wuwuwu", two tears immediately gathered in his dark eyes.
Lu Miao reacted quickly as well, pinching his cheek and immediately picking the thing out.
The boy smacked his lips for a while, then quickly opened his mouth and moved closer like a little carp looking for food in the water, still wanting to eat.
Lu Miao minced the oyster meat into smaller pieces and slowly fed it to the pig with the sweet soup in the shell.
Tang Mei looked at her and the children with a smile, and her hands moved skillfully as she quickly steamed the second and third pots.
After cleaning up the mess made by the kids, Lu Miao also ate a few in the kitchen.
The oysters were really plump, and after eating three of them, she felt a little full.
Lu Miao calculated the remaining amount and reserved the child's father's share first.
She put six of them on a large plate and asked Shi An to send a few to Gu Ying to try.
"Be careful on the road, watch your step, don't fall, okay?"
"I understand, Auntie!"
Shi An trotted away at a steady pace.
Later at home for dinner, Lu Miao ate two more oysters and didn't eat any rice.
She first took Baichuan to clean up and wash up.
After dinner, Tang Mei cleared the table and then held Baichuan in her arms to help the children with their homework.
Lu Miao kept looking at his watch, waiting for Fu Jingyou to come back.
But it was not until she went to bed and it was almost twelve o'clock that Fu Jingyou came into the room with a cold look on his face.
She heard the noise and got up reluctantly to heat up his food.
Fu Jingyou held her down in time:
"Don't worry about it. I just came back after eating... Go back to sleep, ok? I'll come in after I'm done washing up."
Lu Miao mumbled "hmm", nodded and lay down again.
Fu Jingyou took off his coat, hung it up, and walked out quietly after closing the door.
He didn't light a fire, but ate the food left for him in the kitchen, washed up quickly, and went back into the house.
The kang was on in the room, and Lu Miao was feeling the heat in a daze.
He came into bed with a cool feeling on his body. Lu Miao felt comfortable and leaned hard into his arms.
Fu Jingyou was afraid that she would feel cold, so he kept backing away.
By the time my back was pressed against the wall and I had nowhere to retreat, my body was almost warm.
He put his arms around her waist again, trying to pull her into his arms, but she kicked him again and turned her back to hug the pillow.
“…”
Fu Jingyou didn't hesitate for a second, and moved closer to her.
"Oh, it's hot~"
"It won't be hot in a while, huh?"
Lu Miaojiao hummed and mumbled, and Fu Jingyou coaxed her.
He took out his arm and hugged her from outside the quilt. Only then did she obey him and fell asleep in his arms.
Lu Miao vaguely knew that Fu Jingyou had returned.
But when I opened my eyes the next day, there was no one around me, only a bulging bag on the headboard.
She got up and looked inside. There were two things in the bag: a large bag of fried dough twists, a specialty of Tianjin, and a palm-sized bag of cordyceps.
He never comes back empty-handed when he goes out, so he must have bought the Cordyceps yesterday.
Lu Miao put the cordyceps in a separate box, got dressed and washed up, then took the fried dough twists to the outer room for the children to eat.
She thought Fu Jingyou had gone to work, but after hearing Tang Mei's story, she found out that Fu Jingyou had gotten up early in the morning and gone to Tianjin again.
Maybe they are going to come up with some new policies internally. Since they didn’t come up with a plan yesterday, they have to continue the meeting today.
Lu Miao nodded in understanding.
Fu Jingyou was busy in an orderly manner, and then he talked about the factory yard.
The key personnel are all in place, and the factory yard is operating again in a more regular direction.
Chen Xiangdong's time spent here has obviously increased.
With the arrival of the two financial staff, Chen Xiangdong also had some minor friction with them.
The reason is that in addition to the weekly supply ration to "A Rose", the factory yard only sends factory goods to Guangzhou twice a month at the beginning and end of the month.
