Chapter 55 Seafood Dinner


0

After the rice was cooked, Qian Xiaolan cleaned all the sea cucumbers, and also picked eight abalones, two blue crabs and four conchs.

Scoop some hot water from the back pot and soak a handful of dried mushrooms brought from home.

Serve the rice, add water and ginger slices to the pot, put the conch into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for five minutes over low heat and remove from the pot.

Put all the sea cucumbers into the pot, stir constantly until they are shaped and hard, then remove from the pot.

Wash the pot, put clean water into the pot, add ginger slices and abalone, cook for another ten minutes after the water boils, add some salt, it tastes very delicious, no need to add other seasonings, serve.

I didn’t prepare ribs or chicken today, otherwise the stew would taste more delicious.

During this time, take four sea cucumbers, clean them again and cut them into slices.

Pick out the conch meat with a bamboo stick, remove the bitter gall, pinch off the tail and cut into slices.

Wash a handful of green onions and cut into sections, peel a garlic and cut into slices, cut two peppers into sections, wash the dried mushrooms, squeeze out the water and slice them.

Heat the pan and add oil. Stir-fry chili peppers, scallions, and garlic slices. Grab a handful of dried mushrooms and stir-fry for a while. Then add conch slices. While stir-frying, add soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar and other seasonings. Then pour in the scallion segments. The aroma will immediately spread.

Finally, add a light layer of starch, stir-fry the snail slices and serve.

She also uses the same method to cook sea cucumbers, but this time she doesn’t add chili peppers, and the taste is still good.

For the last dish, cut the blue crab in half, put it in a hot pan with some oil, add some water and fry it for fifteen minutes.

When Gu Yanqing pushed his bicycle in, she had just put all the dishes on the table.

Hearing the sound of a car, Qian Xiaolan ran out happily to take a look.

The bicycles they sent before coming here have arrived.

Gu Yanqing washed his hands by the well, walked into the room and saw the dishes on the table, then asked her with a smile:

"Did you go fishing again today? It looks like you got a good harvest."

Qian Xiaolan snorted proudly, causing Gu Yanqing to chuckle. He strode forward, hugged her face and kissed her.

"My wife is really capable."

He was about to kiss her, but Qian Xiaolan stretched out her hand to stop him and said angrily, "Do you still want to eat?"

Gu Yanqing smacked her palm, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Actually, if you want, I can also skip meals."

"A boring man."

Qian Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and immediately retreated to a safe distance.

Gu Yanqing smiled and went into the kitchen to get some rice.

The couple ate the delicious dishes until their bellies were full and they were too full to squat by the well to wash the dishes.

The two looked at each other and found it very funny.

Finally, Gu Yanqing took the dishwashing basin to the stone table in the courtyard and washed the dishes. He then said to Qian Xiaolan:

"Tomorrow I will nail a wooden rack next to the well, so I won't have to squat to wash dishes and vegetables."

Qian Xiaolan nodded and told him that she remembered participating in the barefoot doctor assessment in the commune.

Gu Yanqing strongly supports this.

In his opinion, if the current situation was not wrong, with his wife's ability, she would be better at doing business than himself.

In his previous life, he was able to become the president of a group only because of his family background.

However, his wife went from being an orphan to managing thousands of people on her own in just a few years.

The key point is that many of her ideas and contributions were suppressed by her superiors, otherwise her achievements would have been far more than that.

After Qian Xiaolan finished speaking, she took Gu Yanqing into the kitchen to see what she had harvested today.

When Gu Yanqing saw the processed sea cucumbers in the ceramic basin, he was just amazed at Qian Xiaolan's good luck.

But when he saw the abalone in several basins, his jaw dropped in shock.

Qian Xiaolan lifted his chin with a smile, "I think I'm really lucky. Aunt Wang took me with her. We both spent the same amount of time, but she only got about 20 abalones and a few conches, not a single sea cucumber."

Gu Yanqing came back to his senses and praised her with a smile: "My wife is possessed by a koi fish. Marrying you is a blessing that I have accumulated over several lifetimes."

Qian Xiaolan had long been immune to his words. She just pretended not to hear them and turned back to the house.

Gu Yanqing pestered her for half the night and she fell asleep dreamlessly.

The next day, as soon as Gu Yanqing left, she woke up and entered the space to continue sleeping. After waking up, she ate two pieces of cakes and continued reading medical books.

When the time was almost up, Qian Xiaolan left the space, put on Gu Yanqing's army green backpack, and rode her bicycle to Bailong Commune.

Bailong Commune is located on the Bailong Island next to them. The island they are on is called Xiya Island. To the west, near the border, is Gu Yanqing’s naval base. The islanders live on the east side, and there are two battalions.

The navy had previously considered relocating these indigenous people to other islands to make it easier for them to manage them.

However, there are only so many resources on one island, and other islands are simply unwilling to accept other people. The residents of the West Asian islands have lived here for generations and do not want to leave.

In the end, the navy had no choice but to set up more checkpoints around the island.

You have to take a boat to get from Xiya Island to Bailong Island.

She had already found out yesterday that there are boats leaving at five and ten o'clock every morning.

The time of return is one o'clock, half past four.

Qian Xiaolan rode her bicycle quickly to the ferry.

There was a soldier standing guard at the ferry terminal. I don't know how he recognized Qian Xiaolan, but when he saw her he saluted and shouted:

"Hello, sister-in-law! Be careful on the road!"

Qian Xiaolan responded in confusion: "Hello, comrade. Thank you for your hard work!"

At this time, there were not many people on the ferry. When everyone saw Qian Xiaolan, they greeted her with a smile, while their eyes were subtly glancing at the bicycle.

This bicycle is really impressive. No one on their island owns a bicycle.

The crew member saw Qian Xiaolan's bicycle and frowned:

"Comrade, your bicycle takes up too much space. I'll charge you five cents more for the fare."

The boat ticket was 1.5 cents, five cents more, but Qian Xiaolan had no objection.

After paying the money happily, the crew tied her bicycle to the top of the cabin with a rope.

The ferry started on time at ten o'clock. The diesel engine whirred "DuangDuangDuang" for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the destination.

After Qian Xiaolan got off the boat, the devilish voice kept echoing in her ears.

Following the large group into the commune streets, she went straight to the commune hospital.

The assessment of barefoot doctors is organized by the commune and the commune hospital.

I don’t know whether to say Qian Xiaolan has good luck or bad luck.

As soon as she entered the commune hospital, she saw a wet man with blood flowing from his arm. The doctors and nurses in the hospital were all busy and had no time to take care of him.

Qian Xiaolan said nothing and stepped forward to the man and his family:

"I'm also a medical student. If you don't mind, I'll stop the bleeding first."

The man had been bleeding for a long time and his face was frighteningly pale.

Seeing that he would be dead if he continued to leak, why should he be worried?

After getting their consent, Qian Xiaolan immediately asked the man to take off his shoes and socks. She then took out disinfectant and acupuncture kit from her backpack and first disinfected the area around the Kongzui and Yinbai points before inserting the needles.
