Chapter 309 Electric Fan
The main reason is that Gu Yanyan is getting old.
These days, it is not appropriate to feed children of this age with milk powder.
Liu Yinyin came from the future, so naturally she has different ideas.
It is still necessary for children to drink milk or soy milk every day.
Liu Yinyin is still thinking about how Gu Yanyan is as tall as his father.
Gu Cheng peeled a piece of crab meat for Gu Yanyan: "I'll ask around later."
It is the sea ban period now, otherwise it would definitely be available for sale at the market.
Liu Yinyin nodded: "I will ask other people in the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow, and we can just buy a small stone mill."
There are only three people in my family, and we can't drink much soy milk in a day.
After dinner, it was not yet dark.
Gu Cheng rolled up his sleeves and prepared to build a chicken coop in the yard.
These two days, Liu Yinyin asked Zheng Qiangwei to help her feed the hens at home.
Maybe because we have good food at home, the little hens have grown plump.
One chicken coop can no longer hold them all, so it's time to build a chicken coop.
Gu Cheng was busy building the chicken coop, and Liu Yinyin was not idle either.
Liu Yinyin cooked and washed the bird's nests brought back from Big Swallow Island, and then she had to pick out the down inside...
The two were busy with their own things, and not long after, Yang Yiming came.
I also brought them a big treat, a large durian.
Gu Cheng was slightly surprised: "Why did you buy this?"
There are many strange fruits on the island. Others are OK, but durian...
Gu Cheng really can't get used to it. This thing smells really strong.
But people who like it especially like to eat it, and Zheng Rose is one of those people who likes to eat durian.
Yang Yiming smiled and said, "These are fresh goods that were just delivered by the supply ship. My wife bought two and gave one to my sister-in-law to try."
In fact, Yang Yiming can't accept the taste of durian, but Zheng Qiangwei likes to eat it.
He thought of sending one to Gu Cheng's family, otherwise the house would be filled with the smell of durian for the next few days.
"Thank you." Liu Yinyin smiled with her eyes narrowed. The price of durian was not cheap at that time.
Such a big durian would cost at least a dozen dollars.
Yang Yiming waved his hand and said, "If sister-in-law likes it, I'll ask someone to bring more next time."
In addition to sending durian, Yang Yiming also came to see Gu Cheng for something.
It just so happened that Gu Cheng also had something to discuss with him, so the two of them went into the house to talk.
The next morning, Liu Yinyin cooked a handful of rice noodles.
She bought five kilograms of rice noodles at the supply and marketing cooperative, but she hasn't had time to eat them yet.
Thinking that there were crabs at home, she suddenly had an idea to make some crab meat vermicelli.
Stir-fry minced ginger and minced garlic until fragrant, pour in the blanched crab meat, add seasoning and boiling water and simmer for ten minutes.
When it comes out of the pot, sprinkle some chopped green onions and cover the rice noodles...
Fresh crabs that are raised naturally do not have a strong fishy smell and are delicious without the need for too much seasoning.
Gu Cheng likes spicy food, so you can add a spoonful of chili sauce to mix it.
"This is delicious." Gu Cheng ate two big bowls of crab meat vermicelli in a row.
Because we have children, we used to eat noodles more often at home. Now we suddenly switched to rice noodles, and they taste really good, even better than noodles.
Gu Yanyan also ate a big bowl and imitated Gu Cheng's praise: "Mom, it's delicious..."
What else could Liu Yinyin say: "I'll buy some more rice noodles later so we can eat them in the morning."
She also likes to eat noodles, and there is a lot of seafood on the island, which is very suitable for cooking rice noodles.
The weather was getting better and better, and life on the island gradually returned to normal.
Time flies, and the summer solstice is here in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the supply and marketing cooperative had pork and goose eggs as big as fists.
Liu Yinyin decisively bought two pounds of pork and eight large goose eggs.
Half a month ago, Gu Cheng went to the mountains for training and should be back in the next two days.
During this period, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
Zheng Qiangwei also bought pork and goose eggs.
The sun on the island is scorching. If you stay outside in the sun for an hour, your skin will be burned off, just like being roasted on a fire.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter if you get tanned, the key is that it will easily cause spots!
Zheng Qiangwei put down the mirror and said with a sad face: "My face seems to be darker again, and pockmarks have appeared..."
My skin is rougher than before. We are all in our twenties, the time when we love beauty.
Zheng Qiangwei was thinking about whether she should quit her job and go home.
Liu Yinyin suggested: "You can sew a mask and wear it."
The sun on the island is really strong. She always wears a hat when she goes out, and has also started using sunscreen recently.
Zheng Qiangwei complained: "It's so hot, how come your skin is so good, you don't get tanned at all."
Liu Yinyin's skin color is no different from when she first arrived, it's milky white, without any blemishes on her face.
Liu Yinyin was born with fair skin and she also pays attention to skin care on a daily basis, so her skin is in very good condition.
Zheng Qiangwei was almost envious: "The weather is too hot, I asked my mother to send me two boxes of pearl cream, if you want to use it, I will give you one box, and an electric fan..."
Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned: "Electric fan?"
She was not very interested in pearl cream, but Liu Yinyin still wanted to buy an electric fan.
The weather on the island is hot, and having an electric fan will at least keep it cooler.
"Yes." Zheng Qiangwei explained, "This thing is very useful. It can generate wind when plugged in."
Liu Yinyin asked, "Where can I buy an electric fan?"
She had been thinking about buying an electric fan for a long time, but had never found one.
Zheng Qianwei thought for a moment and said, "I only know that the Overseas Chinese Affairs counter in Capital Department Store sells electric fans. I have never seen them anywhere else."
Liu Yinyin: "The Qiao Hui counter? Is it expensive?"
Zheng Qiangwei said truthfully: "The cost is secondary. The main thing is that I have to use the Overseas Chinese Remittance Certificates."
Not everyone can have a Qiaohui voucher.
Zheng Qiangwei's parents had to work hard to save up enough coupons to buy an electric fan, they really didn't have any extra ones.
Otherwise, she would buy one more for Liu Yinyin.
Liu Yinyin pondered: "Can I buy it with money? Or...exchange it for something else?"
"It's definitely not possible to buy it with money. There are many rich people in the capital." Zheng Qiangwei thought, "Exchange it with something else? Then you have to come up with something really good."
Rich people don't care about ordinary things.
Liu Yinyin thought about it and asked, "Will wild bird's nests be okay?"
She had already cleaned the bird's nests that she had picked on Big Swallow Island. There weren't many of them, only about two or three pounds.
I have to give half of it to Aunt Zhou later.
Liu Yinyin originally planned to sell the other half to the system.
"Bird's nest?" Zheng Qiangwei was surprised, "Where did you get it from?"
Liu Yinyin told her about picking bird's nests on Big Swallow Island.
After hearing this, Zheng Qiangwei opened her mouth in amazement: "You are so lucky to have come across such a rare treasure."
Her mother-in-law did send her some bird's nests, but it was only a tiny amount and she ate it a few times and it was gone.
