Chapter 457: Sour Date Cake

It is similar to sending a child to a nursery, except that the minimum age for a child to be sent to a nursery is two years old.

Yang Zishan doesn't meet the requirements for going to a nursery yet, so she can only find someone to help take care of her.

Liu Yinyin shook her head: "Forget it, I won't consider going to work for the time being. With three children, how can I have the time to go to work?"

Zheng Qiangwei: "Didn't your mother help take care of him?"

Liu Yinyin curled her lips and said, "My third sister-in-law is pregnant. After a while, my mother may have to go back to take care of her."

"Is that so..." Zheng Qiangwei was silent for a while after hearing this, "It's really too much for you to take care of so many children by yourself."

Liu Yinyin thought of something, looked at her watch and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and get some chicken and egg custard. I steamed a little more today. Xiao Shanshan, please have some too?"

Zheng Qiangwei said immediately, "Okay, Shanshan likes your egg custard, but I can't make it taste like that."

When Liu Yinyin stewed chicken egg custard, she put some milk powder in it, which made the taste more fragrant and smoother.

She didn’t know what was going on. She learned how to make egg custard at Liu Yinyin’s house, but she just couldn’t get the same taste.

Liu Yinyin put an extra egg in the pot today, and originally wanted to save half for Gu Yanyan.

Now, give his portion to Yang Zishan and go back to make a cup of maltose for Gu Yanyan.

Liu Yinyin wanted to feed the triplets, so she first put them on the baby dining table and lined them up in a row.

She held a spoon and fed them, from the eldest to the third, one bite each.

The feeding hasn't even started yet, but when the triplets saw the egg custard, their eyes lit up and they were drooling.

Several children began to babble non-stop.

Liu Yinyin felt a headache just watching this. It was because he couldn't walk yet, otherwise several other kids would definitely have snatched him away.

The eldest child's egg custard was not even finished yet, but the second child's mouth was already wide open.

At this time, if Liu Yinyin jumped over him to feed the third child, the second child would be so anxious that he would slam the table.

This made Liu Yinyin a little flustered, but she was in pain and happy.

It is more fun to take care of a few children.

It was much easier for Yang Zishan. No one competed with her for the food, so she ate the egg custard by herself, enjoying it very much.

After finishing this, Liu Yinyin went to the post office to mail things.

In addition, Liu Yinyin also brought the coarse grains sent by Huang Laizi to the post office for Zhong Aihua.

There weren't many people in her hometown who needed to exchange dried seafood, so Liu Yinyin gave them all to Zhong Aihua.

Occasionally, if there is any surplus food, we will ask the employees at the supply and marketing cooperative.

There is no shortage of dried seafood on the island, and it is impossible not to exchange food.

Just like last time, after receiving the goods, Zhong Aihua smiled and said, "Thank you, Yinyin."

In the past two months, Zhong Aihua bought food three times, and the quantity was not much each time.

However, it is a great thing for her family.

Who wouldn’t be happy to fill their stomach?

Liu Yinyin waved her hands: "I'm just helping you two pass messages to each other, that's all."

Zhong Aihua doesn't think so. Apart from Liu Yinyin, who else would do such a useless thing these days?

Thinking of something, Zhong Aihua took something out of her cloth bag and gave it to Liu Yinyin.

"This is the sour date cake my mother gave me. She made it herself. I made some for you to try."

Sour date cake?

Liu Yinyin's eyes lit up. This thing was a good thing and would be sold very expensively in the future.

The bag of sour date cake that Zhong Aihua gave was quite large, weighing at least two kilograms.

Liu Yinyin opened the package. The sour date cake made by Zhong Aihua’s mother’s family was in strips and looked a bit like dried sweet potatoes.

Liu Yinyin picked a small piece and tasted it. It was soft, sticky, sour and sweet...

The sour date cake tasted really good, Liu Yinyin was a little surprised.

I think Zhong Aihua’s family must be good at this.

Zhong Aihua asked: "How is it? Does it taste good?"

There are many sour jujube trees near her mother's home. Eating the sour jujubes directly would make your teeth fall out, so she had to eat something else instead.

Liu Yinyin nodded: "It's delicious, why don't your family take it to the market to sell?"

Zhong Aihua sighed and said, "This stuff is everywhere in the mountains, and you can't sell it for a good price."

Only family members eat it as a snack.

I have been eating this dessert since I was a child, but now I don’t really like it anymore.

Liu Yinyin's heart moved: "...Does your mother's family have a lot of sour date cakes?"

"It's OK, not too many, this is the last batch."

Sour dates can only be picked in August and September every year. In order to store them for a longer time, everyone sun-dries them and stores them.

After that, make sour date cakes in batches.

This way you can eat from the beginning of the year to the end of the year!

"What's wrong?" Zhong Aihua took a while to react, "Yinyin, this bag of sour date cakes is not enough for you to eat?"

This stuff tastes sour. For Zhong Aihua, this bag of sour date cake is enough for her to chew for a month or two.

Liu Yinyin made up an excuse: "I think it tastes good. My sister-in-law is pregnant, so I thought of sending some to her. Pregnant women should like sweet and sour food."

"That's true." When Zhong Aihua was pregnant, she also liked this idea very much.

"I still have about ten pounds at home. I'll give you half of it later."

Liu Yinyin didn't refuse, but she had already accepted a bag of sour date cakes for free...

Liu Yinyin thought about it and said directly: "I will exchange it with you for white flour?"

Although sour dates are not considered a good thing, making sour date cake...is not easy, and other ingredients are also needed.

Especially sugar. In these days of scarce supplies, sugar is not cheap.

Zhong Aihua: "It's not worth much, why give Baimian such a precious thing."

Liu Yinyin smiled. She would definitely give the flour. How could she keep asking for things from others for free?

What's more, she wants to cooperate with Zhong Aihua for a long time.

Whether to eat it or not is one thing. Liu Yinyin mainly wants to sell the sour date cake to the system and earn some pocket money.

After bringing the sour date cake home, Liu Yinyin continued to cut curtains for the new house.

In the evening, Jiang Cuihua rolled out noodles.

In the morning, I bought half a chicken and stewed chicken soup. Jiang Cuihua kept some chicken meat and tore it into strips to make sauce.

That’s perfect. I’ll save it for making noodles in the evening.

During the meal, Jiang Cuihua casually mentioned, "I ran into your second sister-in-law when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables today. She told me that she would follow the villagers to another island to pick fruits and earn some pocket money in the next few days."

"She went in the morning and came back in the evening. She said she would prepare lunch for the children in the morning and asked me to pick up Hu Zi from the nursery at noon and bring him home for lunch."

Huzi is young, and he would definitely feel uneasy if no one picks him up.

Liu Yinyin said, "Why don't you just bring Hu Zi home for dinner so that he doesn't have to run around..."

Jiang Cuihua refused without thinking: "That won't work."

This is not a one-day or two-day thing. Food is tight these days.
