Chapter 355 Eel
Liu Yinyin didn't ask for Yang Liu's things in vain, as she gave her a bag of dried vegetables and a bag of dried bamboo shoots in return.
I ate some dry goods. In the package there were also cotton jackets that Jiang Cuihua sent to Brother Liu Da and Brother Liu Er.
After get off work, Liu Yinyin delivered the cotton padded jacket to them.
"Brother, is the dormitory cold? I have two old quilts at home. Do you want me to send you one?"
These days when supplies are scarce, it is not easy to make a quilt.
When they first came to the island, the eldest and second brothers Liu only brought one quilt.
Brother Liu said no: "Men are not afraid of cold, a quilt is enough."
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Gu Cheng often said this at home, and no one knew whether it was true or not.
Liu Yinyin thought about sending a quilt over later.
The weather is cold, and it would be even more troublesome if you caught a cold.
The same is true for Brother Liu.
When she came back, Liu Yinyin was holding a bag with a fresh big eel in it, which was given to her by Brother Liu.
At noon, Liu Yinyin grilled eels at home.
It just so happens that there is fire in the stove, so I can just put a baking tray on it and bake it directly on it.
It is convenient for baking food.
Perhaps she smelled the fragrance, Zheng Qiangwei came to visit my house.
Without a job, she is usually bored at home.
When Liu Yinyin is not at work, she will come over to visit.
Liu Yinyin handed her a piece of eel and said, "I added chili peppers. I think you will like it."
"It looks delicious." Zheng Qiangwei said happily. She still likes spicy food.
The eel grilled by Liu Yinyin is absolutely amazing and very delicious.
Zheng Qiangwei quickly finished a piece of grilled eel and said with satisfaction, "Your cooking is still the best."
Liu Yinyin thought of something and asked, "How is the seaweed doing at your house?"
In the past two months, Zheng Qiangwei's health has improved a lot, but she did not give up Hai Cao. She still kept her at home to help with housework.
Zheng Qiangwei's belly was getting bigger day by day, and some work was inconvenient for her to do. There was no one else at home, so she had to find someone to help.
Her family is well off and it's not that she can't afford to hire someone.
Moreover, Zheng Qiangwei gave Haicao twenty-eight yuan a month.
It’s not low, and the work isn’t too much. I just cook, do laundry, and take care of the hygiene at home.
Zheng Qiangwei herself will also lend a hand.
Everything else is fine, but seaweed is a hard-working person.
However, Zheng Qianwei was a little puzzled and said: "Seaweed is good in every way, but the food it makes is too bland."
It's not to her taste. Pregnant women don't have a good appetite.
Without her favorite food, Zheng Qiangwei couldn't eat anything.
"I told Hai Cao to add more oil and salt when cooking, but she just couldn't change."
Haicao is a native of the seaside. Perhaps he is used to the taste here and cannot change this habit.
Liu Yinyin didn't know what to say about this matter.
Moreover, it is good for pregnant women to eat light food.
Liu Yinyin changed the subject and said, "I'm going to Qing City tomorrow. Do you have anything to bring back?"
She still decided to go to Qing City and buy some supplies.
Even if the island is really closed, we won't be completely unprepared.
Zheng Qiangwei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Nothing else, if you have fresh pork, please buy me a pound or two...other meats are fine too."
The demand for pork on the island is in short supply and it is only supplied once a week, and in limited quantities.
Each person can only buy two kilograms at most, and if you go too late you won’t be able to buy any good meat.
"And..." Zheng Qiangwei added.
The weather was bad during this period, with snow falling in many places, so it was difficult for her family to send supplies over.
so......
Zheng Jiangwei continued, "If there are any cookies or snacks, please buy me two boxes."
The biscuits and snacks she was talking about were naturally high-end products that the supply and marketing cooperatives did not sell.
In the evening, Liu Yinyin cut a piece of yellow rice cake and cooked it, adding vegetables and eggs.
The yellow rice cake is soft and sticky and tastes really good.
The portion was also large; one yellow rice cake was enough to fill the stomachs of Liu Yinyin and her son.
Yang Liu gave Liu Yinyin a total of eight yellow rice cakes, enough for several meals.
Thinking about going to Qing City.
The next day, Liu Yinyin got up before dawn.
In winter, the sun rises late. It was actually past six o'clock.
After breakfast, Liu Yinyin sent Gu Yanyan to Xu Zhenzhen's house.
The weather has been unusual recently, and many people have gone to Qing City to exchange food.
Liu Yinyin pursed her scarf. Everyone on the boat was dressed properly, so she didn't have to worry about anyone recognizing her.
As soon as the boat arrived in Qing City, Liu Yinyin immediately headed towards the black market.
Just like before, he was carrying a large backpack.
When they were almost there, Liu Yinyin took out fifty kilograms of flour from the system while no one was around.
He was also carrying a package in his hand, which was a bundle of cotton, weighing twenty pounds.
Liu Yinyin was very tired carrying so many things.
Fortunately, I soon reached the black market and found Aqiang.
Aqiang is active in the black market every day and deals with many people.
At first, he didn't recognize Liu Yinyin.
Liu Yinyin pointed to the place where they had made the transaction before, and Aqiang finally reacted.
Seeing Liu Yinyin carrying a lot of bags, he immediately went up to her with a smile.
"Big sister?"
Liu Yinyin: “…”
If she wasn't afraid of trouble, Liu Yinyin would really be reluctant to do business with him. This guy is a bit tactless.
After coughing, Liu Yinyin whispered, "Do you want some flour and cotton?"
Flour and cotton are both valuable commodities, and in winter, they are in short supply.
Ah Qiang nodded his head: "As many as you can get."
He was originally a merchant who traded in commodities, and he could sell any amount of flour and cotton.
Liu Yinyin said "hmm".
The two walked behind the big tree to make a deal.
Liu Yinyin put down the heavy backpack and let Aqiang check the goods first.
To be honest, Aqiang really couldn't find any fault. The white flour and wheat flour that Liu Yinyin brought were both shiny white.
You can tell it’s of top quality at first glance.
There was no bargaining. Just like last time, Aqiang bought it directly at a price five cents higher than the black market price.
After receiving the money, Liu Yinyin asked him, "Do you have any enlightenment books suitable for children?"
The picture books at home owned by Gu Yanyan are almost worn out.
Liu Yinyin wanted to buy some enlightenment books and slowly teach him some basic knowledge.
There are also books for sale in the system, but they are not suitable for taking out.
Ah Qiang was a little confused: "... Enlightenment book?"
He had been doing business for so long, but this was the first time he had encountered someone buying books.
Liu Yinyin nodded: "It's a primer for young children."
A Qiang shook his head and said, "Sister, I have all these other things. You want to buy books, but I really don't have this, but..."
"There is a bookstore in the city. You can go and have a look."
Liu Yinyin: “…”
When she was in Liujia Village, Liu Yinyin had visited the county bookstore.
