Chapter 285 Warm House Meal

"Girl, do you want to buy a water jar?" asked the jar seller.

Liu Yinyin wanted to buy it, but...

She asked, "Old man, can you deliver the goods to your door?"

Liu Yinyin wanted to buy two large water storage tanks, but it was difficult to take them back.

It's not that I'm afraid that Gu Cheng can't carry it, but as an army officer, he can't just carry a big jar back with him.

I thought that the other person was busy with his business and probably didn't have time to deliver goods to her.

Liu Yinyin said again: "Old man, why don't you just give me your address, and I'll go to your house to buy it later."

The jar seller looked Liu Yinyin up and down and asked, "Miss, are you from the family compound?

Liu Yinyin was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.

The man selling the water tanks smiled and said, "How big of a water tank do you want to buy? I'll deliver it to you this afternoon."

What he displays here are samples, and very few people would buy water jars directly at the market.

Liu Yinyin's eyes lit up when she heard that. She didn't hesitate and directly selected two of the largest water jars and two 20-jin rice jars.

I also ordered four small tanks with a capacity of five kilograms so that I can store things later.

Eight jars cost exactly five yuan, which is much more expensive than the bamboo baskets.

Leaving the address of the compound to the owner of the jar, Liu Yinyin paid a deposit of two yuan and left.

Because the next few months are a closed season for fishing, the scale of this market is relatively large, especially the stalls selling food, which probably account for half of the market.

Along the way, Liu Yinyin bought ten kilograms of cornmeal, five kilograms of glutinous rice flour, a bag of candles, a bag of loquats, and a bag of cherries.

When Gu Cheng found the mother and son, Liu Yinyin's hands were full of things, and even Gu Yanyan was carrying two bags...

After taking the bags of different sizes, Gu Cheng said to Liu Yinyin, "Would you like to buy some more pickled vegetables?"

There was an auntie selling pickled vegetables next to her, including kimchi, spicy radish strips, sauerkraut, pickled beans, and pickled garlic.

There are also sauces, such as chili sauce, fish and shrimp sauce, and mushroom and meat sauce.

They even have fermented bean curd, salted eggs and salted duck eggs. The selection is quite comprehensive.

The meals in the army cafeteria are relatively light, so soldiers who prefer a heavier taste like to buy some salted vegetables to mix with their rice.

Gu Cheng is the same, he loves spicy food.

Because of the little kid Gu Yanyan, Liu Yinyin never adds any chili peppers when cooking at home.

She could eat anything, but she forgot to take care of Gu Cheng's stomach.

Liu Yinyin asked the lady who sold pickled vegetables for a can of fermented tofu, a can of mushroom meat sauce, and a bag of salted duck eggs.

She turned to Gu Cheng and said, "I'll make you some rice later."

It’s not that she thinks the ones bought outside are not good, it’s just that the ones she makes herself have more ingredients.

Thinking that Gu Cheng would be going on a mission tomorrow, Liu Yinyin found a stall selling fresh seafood and bought a big grass carp.

In the afternoon, I can make two cans of pickled fish and let Gu Cheng take them to the troops to eat.

Having bought almost everything, Liu Yinyin was satisfied and ready to go back.

Coincidentally, on the way back, I met Tian Pinggui and his family again.

The family of four also had a lot of bags on them, and they bought as much as Liu Yinyin's family.

Ma Guilan smiled and said to them, "Captain Gu, come to my house tonight to have a warm meal."

Tian Pinggui will also be on a mission tomorrow. Once he leaves, we don't know when he will be back, so we should treat him to a warm-house meal first.

It just so happens that I bought a lot of things at the market today, enough to set up two tables of dishes.

Liu Yinyin nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go to your house to help in the afternoon."

Ma Guilan did not refuse. She really could not handle it all by herself. "You can come later."

She knew a lot of families, and besides Liu Yinyin, there were other people who would go to help.

After arriving home, Liu Yinyin immediately got busy making pickled fish, which was quite troublesome to make.

Pickled fish, fried fish, stir-fried fish...

Fry the fish pieces until they are golden brown and crispy, let them dry in the air for an afternoon, and marinate them in wine at night. They will be ready to be canned tomorrow morning.

The pickled fish was made for Gu Cheng, and Liu Yinyin added a lot of chili peppers.

It was a busy day. In the afternoon, Liu Yinyin was busy packing up the things she bought at the market when the vendor came with his son to deliver the things.

Since Gu Cheng was there to entertain them, Liu Yinyin didn't go out.

Having more baskets and jars at home makes it more convenient to store things.

The furniture that I ordered from the carpenter was delivered yesterday evening.

In the past two days, the house has added a lot of things, and it doesn't look as empty as before.

After packing up the things at home, the family of three prepared to go to Ma Guilan's house.

It would be bad to go to the visit empty-handed, so Liu Yinyin took a bag and filled it with a bag of brown sugar and a bag of peanut crisps.

I didn't bring any eggs with me because there weren't many left at home.

In the morning at the market, Liu Yinyin saw villagers selling eggs, but the price was really not cheap, so she didn't buy any.

She thought that if Gu Cheng wasn't at home, she could smuggle eggs out of the system.

Ma Guilan's house was in the building behind, and it only took a few minutes to get there.

Except for the lack of an independent yard, the layout of Ma Guilan's house is similar to that of Liu Yinyin's, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

At that time, there was not much public space, so houses of fifty or sixty square meters seemed particularly large.

Several guests have come to Tanada Takashi's house, all of whom are his comrades in the army with whom he has a good relationship.

Liu Yinyin only knew Zhou Zhian and didn’t know anyone else. Fortunately, she was not the protagonist today and didn’t have to entertain guests.

Several men sat in the living room chatting and looking after the children.

Liu Yinyin went to the kitchen to help, and two other military wives also came to help.

They are about the same age as Ma Guilan.

Ma Guilan introduced them to Liu Yinyin with a smile: "These are the family members of Political Commissar Huang and Captain Liao. Yinyin, you should get to know them."

We will all live in the same courtyard from now on, so it’s always good to make more friends.

Liu Yinyin smiled and greeted first: "Hello, two sisters-in-law, my name is Liu Yinyin."

Huang Zhengwei's wife's surname is Miao, and her name is Miao Yan. She glanced at Liu Yinyin and exclaimed, "You must be the wife of Captain Gu. I often hear Gui Lan mention you. As expected, you are really beautiful."

They all came from the countryside, but Liu Yinyin looked different from them, with fair skin and delicate features.

And her figure...if you didn't tell, you would never tell that she had given birth to a child.

At first, the two family members were a little worried, wondering why Ma Guilan found such a cute young wife to help.

After a while, I saw Liu Yinyin washing and cutting vegetables skillfully.

Only then did I look at her with new eyes. She is beautiful and capable, and a daughter-in-law who knows how to manage a household.

Ma Guilan prepared a lot of things today, including two pounds of pork belly and a piece of bacon.

There are also palm-sized crabs, prawns, squids, clams and sea bass.

There were fewer vegetarian dishes, only potatoes and cabbage.

Since Liu Yinyin was not the chef, she just helped out by washing and cutting vegetables, peeling garlic, etc.

The others chatted while they worked, and she just listened.
