Chapter 124 [Little Sister Training]
@Jiang Lili: The school bully is now the captain, in charge of the entire ship. She's currently conducting a routine inspection on board and hasn't even had dinner yet. I'll catch up with her later when she's done.
Zhang Xiaopang was busy, and after a while he replied: [I found it! Sister Li, wait for me when I get home! Oh, and would you like me to bring you some seaweed wrapping as well?]
[@Jiang Lili: OK, I'll wait for you!]
Within ten minutes, Jiang Lili felt that the backpack behind her had become heavier.
Xiaopang’s feeding has arrived!
At this moment, under Jiang Lili's instruction, Su Sanniang had already filled the casserole with porridge and started a fire.
Jiang Lili took out the meal bag from the backpack and opened it.
Su Sanniang smelled the aroma of the cooking bag and looked up: "What a nice smell, such a strong seafood smell!"
Su Sanniang couldn't help but ask, "Miss Jiang, what did you add to the porridge?"
Jiang Lili followed the instructions and added the powder and soup sachet from the cooking bag to the casserole. She then used a wooden stirring stick to mix the porridge and seasoning sachet. As she stirred, she said, "This is the blended spices. The powder inside is made from ground shrimp, scallops, and pepper."
Spices were very precious in ancient times and were generally used for medicinal purposes. Only high-end restaurants would use precious spices like pepper in their dishes.
Su Sanniang exclaimed, "This is too expensive! Miss Jiang, how much did you spend on this spice? I'll give it to you."
"What are you talking about? I'll still need your help in Haizhou. Let's help each other, so don't say such polite words."
Jiang Lili stirred the porridge while talking to Su Sanniang: "I just saw your daughter Wen Qiao and I hit it off immediately. I admire her very much. And your daughter Wen Xiaomei is lively, cute and smart. You are really good at raising children. All your daughters are excellent."
When Su Sanniang heard Jiang Lili say this, she was surprised and relieved, and there were tears in her eyes.
Ever since her husband died at sea, she, a widow with two young daughters, has been subjected to countless criticisms and malice in the past half month, and her life has been extremely difficult.
Meeting someone as warm as Jiang Lili for the first time, Su Sanniang felt the feeling of being affirmed and supported. Tears welled up in her eyes: "Miss Jiang, thank you again."
Jiang Lili smiled.
As the porridge is heated, seaweed is added, and the seasoning powder dissolves, releasing a rich seafood aroma that fills the entire small kitchen.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the first pot of porridge was freshly prepared.
Jiang Lili took a look at the porridge in the clay pot and said, "This amount is enough for each boatman to have a bowl. We can let everyone eat first, and we can continue to cook the second pot."
Su Sanniang looked at the two wooden barrels and saw that there was still porridge in them, but there was no container to put it in. She said, "I'll ask the boatmen to bring bowls to the kitchen to get some porridge!"
After a while, Jiang Lili heard Wen Kang's cursing voice coming from the door: "What's going on? It's bad enough that we can't have a good meal, but you also make us queue up in this narrow aisle for porridge."
Jiang Lili didn't say anything to him, but just mechanically put porridge into the bowl of the boatman who came over.
The first boatman who came to serve the porridge didn't look very happy at first, but when he smelled the seafood aroma filling the small kitchen, he exclaimed, "Oh my God, it smells so good!"
After filling the bowl with porridge, he blew hard on the surface and then couldn't wait to take the first bite. Although it was hot, it was really fragrant and delicious. After so many years of living at the docks and on merchant ships, this was the first time he had tasted seafood porridge with this flavor.
The boatmen in the queue at the back couldn't wait to ask the boatman at the front: "Old Chen, how is it? Does this porridge still smell fishy?"
Boatman Lao Chen originally wanted to answer that it was very delicious, but when he looked at the porridge in the clay pot and then at the porridge in the wooden barrel, he suddenly realized that there was only one clay pot of this freshly baked porridge.
"This new porridge is just so-so. The taste is hard to describe."
The boatman, Lao Chen, performed with such force that his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly: "How about I help you eat your portion first, and I'll give you my dry food."
"Really? I just heard you say it smells good."
"No, you're hallucinating because you're hungry. You heard it wrong."
As the two were chatting, the second person who tasted the porridge exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's amazing!"
Then, those who lined up to receive the porridge and tasted it all exclaimed in praise of how fragrant and fresh the porridge was.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Su Sanniang, is this really the porridge you cooked?"
Su Sanniang was about to say that this was all Jiang Lili's work, but Jiang Lili embraced her and said to everyone, "Don't worry, Sanniang will be able to cook seafood porridge of this level in the future. Everyone should be nice to the God of Cooking!"
As pot after pot of porridge was remade, everyone enjoyed the delicious seafood porridge and praised it highly.
Even Wen Kang couldn't help but serve a second bowl of seafood porridge, and was pulled by the ear by the angry Li.
Wen Kang: "Be gentle, be gentle, I'm almost full and I have to go to work later!"
Mrs. Li was furious: "Your wife has lost her position as a cook, and you still have the mood to eat!"
Wen Kang: "Didn't you say you didn't want to do it? Besides, it's almost the same whether you are on this ship or not."
The couple is still fighting among themselves.
Jiang Lili introduced two new friends, Xin Yan and Master Liao, to Wen Xiaomei.
Although Xin Yan is a year and a half younger than Wen Xiaomei, he has the demeanor of an older brother: "Sister Hanzhi, what game do you want to play? We will play with you."
"Let me tell you, Dabao has gained a lot of followers along the way."
Xin Yan patted Master Liao on the shoulder and said, "Dabao, quickly call all your friends over and meet some new people."
Master Liao glared at Jiang Lili.
It’s over, now he really becomes the king of kids.
Sister Li has begun to forget that he is an adult with the soul of a twenty-four-year-old.
Master Liao helplessly roared at the group of brothers he had recruited from the exile team with all his strength, "Members of the Yuanbao Gang, come and assemble!"
"A new friend has joined!"
Yuanbao Gang is the name that Master Liao's younger brothers came up with after racking their brains and using all the characters they learned throughout their lives. They all think it is very domineering.
When Master Liao first heard this title, he just wanted to bury his head in the ground.
But over time, his younger brothers got used to calling him that, so he just let them do it.
When the kids from Yuanbao Gang heard that there was a new friend, they rushed over.
Wen Xiaomei was surprised to see that Liao Dabao, this tiny little brother, could actually gather so many people. "So many people! Can you play a game with me?"
When the children heard about playing games, they all became excited: "What game is it?"
After a cup of tea.
"At ease!"
"stand at attention!"
"Look to the right!"
Jiang Lili was dumbfounded when she saw Wen Xiaomei shouting military training slogans like a drill instructor, training this group of little kids whose average age was no more than six years old.
Isn't that what you call playing games?
Sister Xiao is here to train her troops, right?
Jiang Lili guessed that this military training slogan must have been taught by Wen Qiao, but there are so many games they can play nowadays, why would Wen Qiao teach this to the children?
