Chapter 252 Drinking Chinese Medicine

When she was taking out the money just now, Zhao Yuan noticed the small stack of bills in her hand, so he asked for an industrial ticket to offset the two yuan.

Liu Yinyin had a lot of industrial coupons in her hands, so she agreed.

In fact, other supplies can also be exchanged, but except for the abundant seafood on the island, the supply of other things is tight.

It is not realistic for them to exchange food, eggs, etc. for seafood.

You can only buy it secretly with money.

However, Zhao Yuan didn't mind. It was a good thing to deal with the fish and shrimp as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he would have to carry the seafood to other parts of the island to exchange for other things, which would be quite troublesome.

Before leaving, Liu Yinyin used another industrial ticket to exchange with Zhao Yuan for a pound of dried kelp and a pound of dried clams, which she could use to make soup later.

Considering that she had been going out early and coming back late these days, Liu Yinyin didn't want to go to the cafeteria to buy food, so she cooked her own food.

The kitchen in the family quarters is currently shared by three families. In addition to Liu Yinyin and Ma Guilan, there is another military wife who came to visit...

He is also another neighbor of Liu Yinyin.

However, Liu Yinyin was not familiar with her. She had been here for so many days but had not spoken a word to her.

Moreover, Liu Yinyin always felt that she was mysterious and usually stayed in her room and never went out.

Even if we met outside, there was no communication between us.

"Oh!" Speaking of this, Ma Guilan was also puzzled, "Don't talk about you. I have been here for such a long time and I haven't talked to her. I don't know what's wrong with her. She hides in the house every day and doesn't go out."

I don’t know what she was thinking about, but Liu Yinyin’s face turned slightly red.

These days, when she was sleeping in the middle of the night, she could always hear strange noises coming from next door...

Young people have a hot temper and are quite restless.

Ma Guilan said to herself: "I heard that her husband is the same as yours, a regimental-level cadre in the army, and seems to be the deputy regiment commander. He is not very old, and he is really promising..."

"Hey, Yinyin, why is your face so red?"

Liu Yinyin laughed dryly and said, "It's okay. I'm a little too sunburned. Sister-in-law, let's go back quickly."

After returning home, Liu Yinyin started to prepare lunch and cleaned the eels and swimming crabs she had bought.

Cut the swimming crab in half, dip it in egg liquid and cornstarch, heat the oil and fry it in a pan until it is set.

Add shredded ginger and red pepper, stir-fry over high heat, then add seasonings, and the pot will instantly be filled with fragrance.

Cover the pot and simmer for two or three minutes. The crab meat is coated with thick soup. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and stir-fry for a few times. Then the green onion and ginger swimming crab is ready.

The eel we bought today was a bit big, weighing about two or three pounds. Liu Yinyin only cut half of it and saved the other half for dinner.

Eel is cut into pieces and braised...

Then cook a kelp and egg soup, and the staple food is white flour steamed buns.

Liu Yinyin steamed a pot of fifteen steamed buns in the morning, just enough for the family of three to eat for a day.

Last time, Gu Cheng brought back a bag of white flour, which was enough for ten days or half a month.

Gu Cheng now holds a high position, so no one would say anything even if his family eats fine food every day.

As long as she has the conditions to eat and drink well, Liu Yinyin will naturally not treat herself badly.

Speaking of food, Liu Yinyin thought that she must send more food over this time when she goes back, otherwise the food stored at home will not be finished.

At about half past twelve, Gu Cheng and Tian Pinggui came back together.

Gu Cheng took off his hat and hung it on the hook. While washing his hands, he said to Liu Yinyin, "After today's work, you can take a day off. I'll take you to Qing City for a stroll tomorrow?"

The mother and son have been here for so many days, but he hasn't spent enough time with them.

Liu Yinyin thought of something and asked him, "I heard that you can go fishing at the beach. How about we go fishing tomorrow?"

Gu Cheng finally got a day off, it was too tiring to go to Qing City.

Besides, Liu Yinyin didn’t really want to go shopping.

"Want to go fishing?" Gu Cheng asked.

Liu Yinyin nodded in confusion: "It seems quite interesting."

Gu Cheng laughed and said, "Okay, tomorrow the three of us will go to the sea."

There is sand on the beach, and little kid Gu Yanyan probably likes to play there.

Seeing the dishes on the table, Gu Cheng asked casually, "Did you exchange them with the fishermen?"

Liu Yinyin lowered her head to peel the crab shell for Gu Yanyan, and said with a smile: "How can I hide anything from you? Sister Guilan took me to change it this morning. You can taste it and see if it tastes good."

Apart from anything else, the scallion, ginger and braised eel made by Liu Yinyin both look very good.

Gu Cheng took a bite of the eel and said, "Not bad."

It tastes much better than the food in the cafeteria.

The scallion and ginger swimming crab is also delicious, with plenty of yellow, meaty, plump and sweet...it has a unique flavor.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I'll study it further later. Maybe I can make it even more delicious."

She decided to peel more garlic in the afternoon and make a jar of garlic sauce.

How can you eat seafood without garlic?

There is also pepper and salt. I will have to make a jar of it myself later.

Just do it.

After waking up from a nap, Liu Yinyin sat at the door peeling garlic. In the yard, Gu Yanyan played with the two sisters from the Tian family.

She suddenly thought of something...she didn't know if there was a school on the island.

Gu Yanyan is over two years old. In another year or two, if he can’t go to primary school, he can be sent to a nursery.

When he goes to school, Liu Yinyin will have time to do other things.

Just as I was thinking about it, a smell of medicine suddenly came from the kitchen...

The neighbor was boiling Chinese medicine. During this period, every afternoon at this time, Liu Yinyin would smell the medicine.

The smell... is quite unpleasant. I don't know if the other person is sick or what and needs to take Chinese medicine every day.

I peeled a bowl of garlic and minced it, put it in hot oil and fry it until the garlic aroma comes out, then added chili peppers and seasonings and stir-fried...

While I was busy, the neighbor came in and brought some Chinese medicine.

Liu Yinyin glanced at her subconsciously and saw that her face did not look good, as pale as paper, and one of her hands was covering her lower abdomen.

Liu Yinyin couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

The young woman shook her head gently: "It's okay, I'll just take some medicine."

As she poured the Chinese medicine into the bowl, Liu Yinyin saw that she was struggling.

He asked again: "Sister-in-law, are you really okay? How about I help you pour it?"

"Really." The young woman waved away the hand that Liu Yinyin extended to her and walked away with the medicine.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

After getting a cold shoulder, Liu Yinyin ignored her.

However, not long after, Liu Yinyin was about to put the cooled garlic sauce into the cupboard.

I was caught off guard and heard a crisp breaking sound, like the sound of a bowl falling to the ground...

It came from next door. Thinking of the young woman with a pale face just now, Liu Yinyin was afraid that something might have happened, so she didn't care about anything else.

He quickly ran out and knocked on the door: "Sister-in-law..."

"Yin Yin, did you break your bowl?"
