Chapter 449: Grilled Skewers

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "When the weather gets warmer, we can come here by boat more often."

Anyway, she doesn't have a job now, so she can go wherever she wants to play anytime in the future.

Big Swallow Island is pretty good here.

It’s not that far, at least it’s still in time to go back that day.

Jiang Cuihua grinned and said, "Okay, I'll come over when I'm free."

She now digs up some seafood and brings it back so that her family doesn’t have to spend money on buying vegetables. The leftovers can be dried and sent back home.

Jiang Cuihua had a great harvest this time. She alone filled three wooden barrels with seafood.

There was a bucket of clams and clams, a bucket of fish and shrimps, and another bucket of crabs, conches, etc., all of which were quite large.

If we go to the army, we won't be able to find so much good seafood by going out to sea.

In the evening, we had a seafood dinner.

Liu Yinyin prepared dinner, including boiled fish, grilled oysters with garlic, and a large seafood stew with clams, razor clams, prawns, abalone and squid.

The method is simple. Clean the seafood and put it in a casserole, then add some prepared sauce and stew it.

Considering that there were elderly people and children eating, Liu Yinyin didn’t add any chili peppers.

Finally, I stir-fried two vegetables, pickled cabbage and stir-fried bean sprouts.

The next day, without taking the children with them, Liu Yinyin and Gu Cheng went to the sanatorium to visit Brigade Commander Wei.

Brigade Commander Wei and Jiang Yuan had already divorced, and he did not bring his child with him. I heard that he gave the child to his ex-wife's parents.

There is no other way. There is no school and no other children of the same age on Dayanzi Island, so it is not appropriate to raise the child here.

When Liu Yinyin met Brigade Commander Wei, she finally understood why he didn't bring his child with him.

But after not seeing him for a few months, Brigade Commander Wei...his hair is full of white and he seems to have aged ten years.

Liu Yinyin almost didn't recognize him: "Captain Wei..."

"I'm here." After resting for a while, Brigade Commander Wei is in good health. "I heard you gave birth to triplets? Why don't you bring them here to see."

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "The kids are too noisy. I'm afraid they'll disturb your rest."

It is indeed troublesome to carry three children and a lot of things.

One or two people really can’t bring it here.

Brigade Commander Wei said, "What trouble should I be afraid of now? Just bring them here."

Gu Cheng continued, "When the children grow up, I will bring them to see you."

The two of them sat at Brigade Commander Wei's house for a while and then left.

After staying on Big Swallow Island for two days, the group prepared to leave with their luggage.

Aunt Zhou was still a little reluctant to leave them.

"When you have time, come and visit often."

Liu Yinyin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. We will definitely come next time. You should also take care of your health."

Nowadays, it is very convenient to travel between the two islands, and you can come anytime you want.

Sitting on the boat, Jiang Cuihua muttered, "There will be a big market in two days. Let's keep these seafood first and bring them back to the market to exchange for some food."

These days, nothing is more important than filling your stomach, and there are many people eating at home.

Jiang Cuihua was thinking about buying more food for her daughter's family.

The children are still young now. In a year or so, how many mouths will be fed at home? The pressure is huge.

Liu Yinyin said with a smile: "Mom, when the time comes, you can go to the market with your second sister-in-law and make some snacks to sell."

Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "That's fine!"

It is a woman's nature to be thrifty. No matter whether you have money or not, being able to save money is the real thing.

When they arrived at the family compound, Liu Yinyin gave some seafood to Zheng Qiangwei and Liu Ersao.

Other families did not give any, so they kept them to exchange for supplies when people gathered together.

Jiang Cuihua is a person who can't sit still. The day before the gathering, she couldn't wait to discuss with Liu Yinyin what food to sell the next day.

She was really undecided, mainly because the tastes of the locals were somewhat different from those in her hometown.

According to Jiang Cuihua's own taste, she likes to eat spicy and strong flavors.

For example, boiled fish, chopped pepper fish head, stir-fried squid and so on.

But the locals have a lighter taste. They are fine with other things but can’t really eat spicy food.

However...

After all, there is no shortage of seafood on the island. If you don’t make some unique food, it will be difficult to sell it.

Liu Yinyin thought for a while and said, "Mom, how about making some skewers to sell?"

Jiang Cuihua was slightly stunned: "Grilled skewers?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "It's just right. The fish and shrimp at home are not too big. I can string them together and roast them on the stove, and sprinkle some cumin powder on them. I think someone will like them."

This time, I came here mainly to get rid of the extra seafood at home and make some grilled skewers... I think I can give it a try.

Jiang Cuihua knows the lady's cooking skills, and if she says something is delicious, it must taste good.

"Okay, let's sell skewers."

There is a stove and a grill at home, so there is no shortage of tools.

That night, Liu Yinyin taught Jiang Cuihua how to grill a plate of fish and shrimp.

Except for the children, several adults can eat spicy food. There is a small dish of chili powder on the table, so you can dip it in it when you want to eat it.

Jiang Cuihua ate more and more deliciously: "This skewers are so delicious, someone will definitely buy them tomorrow."

These seafoods were caught for free, so it's considered a profit no matter how much you exchange them for.

That's right...making skewers is not an easy task. You have to pay attention to the heat and the amount of seasoning you put in at all times.

Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether the skewers are delicious or not.

Jiang Cuihua is okay at making other things, but she is not really good at grilling skewers, and it’s not something that can be learned just by being taught once.

She just tried it and it was either burnt or tasted bad.

Liu Yinyin pondered and said, "Mom, how about I go out to sell things tomorrow and you stay at home to take care of the kids?"

Because she was pregnant and taking care of her children, Liu Yinyin hadn't been to the market for a long time. In fact, she really wanted to go and take a look.

Jiang Cuihua: "Can you do it alone?"

"Why not? I'll go with my second sister-in-law. We can help each other if we have something to do."

Jiang Cuihua said nothing more: "Just go if you want to."

There are so many seafoods at home. If we don’t process them tomorrow, they will die.

Jiang Cuihua is not good at making grilled skewers, so she doesn't try to do it to avoid wasting food.

This is the first big fair after the Chinese New Year. The harvest has been good in the past two years, so many people flock to the island.

I had already told Mrs. Liu about it yesterday, and early the next morning, Mrs. Liu came to find Liu Yinyin with a cart.

Liu Yinyin had already prepared the seafood. Since she was going to make grilled skewers, she chose some small fish, which would taste better when grilled.

In addition to small fish, there are also shrimps and squids.

Mrs. Liu also made some seafood to sell.

When they arrived at the market, they first found an empty stall to place their things.

There are all kinds of food for sale at the market, but the only one selling fried skewers is Liu Yinyin's family.

Liu Yinyin added plenty of seasonings, and when she was grilling and frying the skewers, the fragrance could be smelled throughout half the market.
