Early the next morning, Qian Xiaolan went to the factory and dealt with some things. She then informed the managers that she would be at the base recently and that they could go directly to the base to find her if they had any questions.
Then we went to the beach. The tide receded very early today, so the Haitians were almost ready to go back.
Qian Xiaolan was standing on the shore and saw someone carrying a net bag of mantis shrimps. She went up to ask if he wanted to sell them.
The man was very surprised to see Qian Xiaolan, "Comrade Qian is back!
If you want to eat this, why do you need to buy it? I’ll give it to you.”
"I don't want it without money."
Qian Xiaolan refused, and the man refused too. After some pushing and shoving, Aunt Jiang came from behind and handed Qian Xiaolan half a bucket of oysters with their shells pried out of their shells.
"Okay, we're all family, why push it around?
You've helped us so much, what's wrong with eating some of our food?
If you don't like it, then don't accept it. We all understand. After all, you are a big shot now. How can we fishermen compare to you?"
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of your mouth, Auntie. If I don't accept it, you will say I'm a sinner."
Qian Xiaolan reluctantly took the bucket of oysters. When the person next to her saw it, he handed her his net bag of mantis shrimps.
Qian Xiaolan also accepted it.
As a result, some people behind saw it and gave gifts to Qian Xiaolan.
This one has a sea bass, that one has two blue crabs, that one has a bag of clams…
Qian Xiaolan's hands were stuffed so tightly that she couldn't move them anymore, so Aunt Jiang helped her carry them.
Seeing more and more people coming ashore, Qian Xiaolan turned around and left with her things.
"Aunt, hurry up!"
Aunt Jiang laughed and followed her with her things in her hands.
When he met Xiao Huang on the way, he waved to Qian Xiaolan happily: "Sister-in-law, you're back!"
He was so excited that if you didn't know him, you would think Qian Xiaolan was his long-lost relative.
Xiao Huang ran forward, took the things from Qian Xiaolan's hand, and started mumbling:
"Sister-in-law, you brought back so many seafoods, are you planning to treat us?"
"I haven't eaten my sister-in-law's cooking for a long time. I miss it."
"By the way, is Guoguo asleep now? Can I go to her house to see her?"
"Oh, doesn't sister-in-law have to take care of Guoguo? How can she have time to cook?"
…
Xiao Huang had so many questions that he couldn't stop talking, even without Qian Xiaolan answering them.
Aunt Jiang was very surprised. She pulled Qian Xiaolan aside and whispered, "Has this comrade always been like this? Has he become stupid because of the training?"
Qian Xiaolan suppressed her laughter and shook her head.
"Xiao Huang usually talks a lot, but he's still a very nice person and can handle things when they happen."
Xiao Huang suddenly stopped and said, "Aunt, I'm not deaf. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly, no need to ask my sister-in-law."
Just when Aunt Jiang was a little embarrassed, Xiao Huang grinned and said, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Jiang.
I'm not stupid, I just feel pent up during missions, so I wanted to take this opportunity to talk more."
Aunt Jiang: "...Xiaolan, since you have Comrade Xiao Huang to help you, I won't send you back. Come to my house when you have time. I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first."
After hurriedly stuffing the things into Qian Xiaolan's hands, Aunt Jiang fled.
Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve been caught talking about someone behind their back. I’m so embarrassed!
Xiao Huang looked at Aunt Jiang's back with a look of disappointment:
"Hey, my aunt cares about me so much, I thought she wanted to introduce me to someone, why did she run away?"
Qian Xiaolan laughed: "Who told you to scare people away?
Okay, don't be sad, go back with your sister-in-law, and I'll make you something delicious later."
Xiao Huang immediately became happy again.
The two of them returned home carrying a lot of things. The meat that Gu Yanqing had asked someone to buy had already been delivered and was hanging at the door.
Qian Xiaolan took the meat off, went into the yard to wash her hands and face, went back to the house to change clothes and feed Guoguo.
When Hu Guifen came out, she saw Xiao Huang humming a song and squatting in the yard cleaning crabs. After greeting him with a smile, she squatted beside him and started to tidy up.
There are about ten swimming crabs and blue crabs in total, which can be made into the spicy crab that Xiaolan mentioned.
Mantis shrimp and other shrimps are made into salt and pepper.
Stew the pork belly and potatoes together, and make the lean meat into crispy meat.
After washing the oysters, add eggs and sweet potato flour and fry them into pancakes, which taste good.
Five dishes, enough to send to the neighbors.
The clams need to spit out the sand so they can be eaten tomorrow.
The remaining sea bass weighed about two pounds and was saved for Xiaolan to make soup.
After Qian Xiaolan finished feeding and coaxed Guoguo to sleep, the two of them had already prepared the dishes.
Hu Guifen shared her idea with Qian Xiaolan and found that they had the same idea.
So, start cooking immediately.
They are all simple dishes that can be prepared in just an hour.
Qian Xiaolan also made a hot and sour oyster soup and a dish of stir-fried cabbage for her family.
Gu Yanqing rushed back at dinner time and delivered food door to door with Qian Xiaolan.
The meat and potatoes stew were served in small bowls, with one bowl given to each family.
Omelette, crispy pork, salt and pepper shrimp, and spicy crab are put together on a tray and each family is given one plate.
Several generous portions of dishes were delivered to every household, making the hosts very happy and they all gave different gifts in return.
People are not greedy for these things, but mainly think that Qian Xiaolan and her husband are good people.
Normally when new neighbors come to the compound, there are usually no delicious dishes when we treat them to a meal.
Regardless of the ingredients used in Qian Xiaolan’s dishes, the fact that they are fried is enough to make people happy.
What's more, the portion is large and the ingredients are not bad.
What’s more, they can share the food with the whole family at home without having to compete with everyone at the table.
After seeing off the neighbors, Captain Xie, Shu Baishu and their families, we also didn’t invite Gu Yanqing’s comrades.
There were too many people, and Qian Xiaolan didn't want to trouble herself, so she gave Gu Yanqing 500 yuan and said, "Ask the chef in the canteen to help add two meat dishes."
Five hundred dollars is enough to treat everyone in the group to a few bites of meat.
"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Qian, for the reward."
Gu Yanqing took the money and put it in his pocket, then gave Qian Xiaolan a big kiss on the face.
The sound was so loud that it attracted Guoguo's attention.
When Qian Xiaolan saw Guoguo's round eyes, her face turned red.
She glared at Gu Yanqing in annoyance: "Be careful in front of the children!"
Gu Yanqing laughed and kissed Guoguo on the forehead: "Okay, okay, one for each of us, absolutely fair."
He was a bad guy, and Qian Xiaolan was too lazy to pay attention to him. She picked up Guoguo and wanted to leave him behind to enter the space.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yanqing was very agile. He immediately put his arm around her waist and followed her in.
This time when Qian Xiaolan entered the space, she wanted to go to the medicine field, pull out two newly mature spiritual plants, and analyze their medicinal effects.
If it were to be pulled out, it would eat up the entire piece.
Qian Xiaolan put Guoguo in the stroller that Wenxuan gave her and pushed her to the medicine field.
I didn't notice that the little man was waving his fingers around, and every time he waved, his spirit became weaker.
