Without disturbing the busy Song Zhiyao, she started cooking.

She was in a good mood today. On the way home, she saw a stall and followed other workers to take a look. Many of the things they had were not available here.

I heard the stall owner say that these were dried seafood he brought back from the southern coast. They had heard of seafood but had never eaten it because this place was too far from the sea.

The entire stall was filled with dried seafood, which also had a very fishy smell. Lai Yanling had never made it before, so she was worried that it would also smell fishy and her children would not eat it.

"Brother, how do you make this dried seafood? I heard before that it can be used to make soup. So, is the soup made from this fishy stew delicious?"

The man who bought the dried seafood was not angry at Lai Yanling's questioning. The shrewd man looked at the people in front of him, all of whom were wearing clothes from the textile factory, and thought that their salaries were not bad.

Then he said more enthusiastically, "Big sister, this dried seafood stew is delicious and not fishy at all. Don't just make soup with it when you buy it back. You can just stir-fry it in a pot with some cabbage, tofu and radish. It will be delicious."

In his eyes, there is no dish that cannot be stir-fried with dried seafood. As long as they are put together, they can be delicious.

The others nearby were also very excited after hearing this, and they also wanted to try this porridge.

Thinking that we were lucky today, we had to buy some dried seafood, so we decided to buy one each and share them when we got back to the textile factory.

There were five of them in their group. They bought dried shrimps, dried squids, dried cuttlefish, and dried sea fish that were half the size of them. If they cut a fish in half and gave each person some, they could get a large piece.

What made them even happier was dried abalone, which they had read in books and heard from others as a precious delicacy eaten by emperors and landlords in ancient times.

A pound can be bought for only ten yuan. Everyone gritted their teeth and bought a pound, which was distributed to two per family. However, the abalone is bigger than the palm of a hand, so a small piece is enough for each family member.

The boss originally thought that each of them would only buy a little. He stood here all day today, his face turned red from the cold wind and his hands were swollen. He thought that today would be another day with no harvest.

I couldn't help but feel regretful. If I had known I would go to the South, I would not have brought back dried seafood. No one likes it because it's fishy.

I didn't expect that after he said that, the workers in the textile factory actually bought some. Although they only bought a little of each item, it still made people happy.

When they left, they gave each person a piece of kelp, "This kelp can be soaked in water, cut into strips or pieces, and fried with ginger and chili, which is also delicious.

Those people in the south say that it tastes good when cooked into soup, so you can do whatever you like."

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, everyone felt that it was a bit expensive, but no one said anything.

We all bought dried seafood together, and after returning to the textile factory, each family got a big bag. The key point was that it only cost three dollars per family.

They could buy so much dried seafood for only three yuan, which was something they had not dared to imagine before. If the planned economy had not been abolished, many people would have imported goods from all over the south and sold them here.

They can't buy these things either, and they definitely need tickets to buy them.

They all asked the man selling dried seafood how to make it. Lai Yanling was proficient in cooking, and after listening to him tell her the general method, various dishes appeared in her mind.

After buying these, everyone didn’t go to buy other vegetables. They were all thinking about what vegetables they had at home to go with the dried seafood.

They still have a lot of cabbage at home. Lai Yanling bought tofu a few days ago. She plans to use some dried shrimp and dried cuttlefish and put them in the cabbage and tofu.

The dried cuttlefish was also very big. The person said that it would become even bigger after being soaked, so it should be cut into small pieces when cooking.

When everything is ready, sauté the shredded ginger in a pan, add the dried shrimp and dried cuttlefish, and continue to stir-fry until the aroma comes out.

Cut the soaked dried cuttlefish into strips about the size of chopsticks.

After frying until fragrant, add the cabbage stalks. When cooked, add hot water and cook until the water turns milky white. Then add the tofu and a little salt. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the cabbage leaves and add a little chopped green onion when cooked.

Song Zhiyao, who was busy, smelled the fragrance, looked up and suddenly realized that it was dark. The report in her hand was almost finished, so she put it aside and went out to help.

"Mom, what's cooking today that smells so good?" Song Zhiyao smelled something that was unlike anything she had eaten before. She was curious and looking forward to what it would taste like.

Lai Yanling saw that she had finished her work and her curious eyes and expression of wanting to eat it meant that the food tasted really good.

Full of joy, "I bought some dried seafood on the road today. The boss said it would be delicious in any dish, so I just tinkered with it.

It smells okay, but I don’t know how it tastes. Go wash your hands first, because those two guys will definitely come back with the smell.”

After she washed her hands, she saw the two siblings coming back with smiles on their faces. From their expressions, it could be seen that they were happier than ever. It seemed that they had a great time shopping with their classmates today.

When they got home and saw the delicious food on the table, the smiles on their faces grew even bigger, and they put things away and washed their hands half as fast as usual.

The two of them also served the food consciously. Lai Yanling brought in the hot pickled cabbage and said, "Hurry up and eat. This is dried seafood, a good thing we don't have here."

I thought the dishes would not taste good without chili peppers, but my family was used to eating chili peppers, so they all thought that if they couldn’t eat it later, they would add some chili sauce.

Unexpectedly, the taste was so different that the four of us drank up all the soup.

The fried dried cuttlefish has a crispy texture and is delicious eaten alone. It tastes even better with rice. The soup is sour and spicy with sauerkraut. It is so delicious even though it is made so simply.

Lai Yanling felt that she made the right decision to buy this dried seafood. The children loved it so much and she also thought it was delicious.

I plan to go and see if they are still for sale next time. If so, I will send some to my eldest brother's house.

After dinner, Song Zhiyao continued to study the report and circled many problematic areas.

After a day's rest and a full meal, Song Zhiyao arrived at the hospital full of energy.

Her colleagues were full of admiration when they saw her. They all knew what happened to her the day before yesterday, but they didn't expect that she would adjust herself in just one day and be in better condition than before.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Song Zhiyao nodded to them with a smile.

Instead of returning to the office, I went straight to find Liu Ruihui. I was eager to hand this report to him and see the teacher's proud expression.

"Zhiyao, didn't I tell you to rest at home for two days? Why don't you rest today?" As he said this, he looked at her condition as if nothing had happened.

His eyes were more determined than before, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and pride.

"Teacher, please take a look at the report I wrote." Song Zhiyao did not answer, but went straight to the point and handed the report to him.
