Gu Yunze went to cook, and Jiang Yiyi didn't sit down either. She changed into home clothes first, and then washed her hands and face. There were many people on the train, and there were all kinds of smells, some of which were stained on her body.
After washing up, Gu Yunze had already cooked the dishes and served the millet porridge. She sat down at the dining table, picked up the millet porridge, blew on it and drank a few mouthfuls.
Seeing how impatient she was, Gu Yunze felt very sad. It was such a cold day, and his wife must be very cold after sitting on the train for several hours.
"I'll boil some more hot water after dinner so you can take a good bath."
Jiang Yiyi responded, put the bowl down, and talked to Gu Yunze about the hot pot restaurant while eating.
Gu Yunze was very surprised to hear that he could earn more than one dollar a day. He knew that people in Beijing were rich, but he didn't expect them to spend so much on food. A hot pot meal would cost dozens or even tens of dollars.
"I'll bring back some hotpot ingredients and invite them to my house for hotpot some other day."
"Okay, the day after tomorrow is Sunday, call them over when the time comes."
After dinner, Gu Yunze washed up, boiled two pots of hot water, took them to the bathroom, and asked Jiang Yiyi to take a bath while he washed the clothes that Jiang Yiyi had taken off.
After taking a shower, Jiang Yiyi came out wiping her hair with a towel. Seeing Gu Yunze hanging clothes, she said, "I'm going to the county town tomorrow to see if there is a washing machine. If there is, we'll buy one."
Summer clothes are not so bad, but winter clothes are really hard to wash and not easy to dry.
"Just do it."
As he spoke, Gu Yunze brought the honeycomb coal stove to the side of the chair and asked Jiang Yiyi to sit on the chair to dry her hair. Now there was no hair dryer, so she could only dry her hair like this.
Especially since Jiang Yiyi's hair is thick and long, it takes a lot of time to dry it naturally.
"I have ten days off. If nothing else, we can go home on the 28th and come back on the 6th."
Jiang Yiyi nodded and said, "I will call my mother tomorrow. She will definitely be very happy."
"Mom would be happier if you were pregnant."
Jiang Yiyi glared at him. They had only been expecting a child for ten days, how could it be so soon?
He had always wanted to have a wife, and after being glared at, Gu Yunze could no longer hold back and picked up Jiang Yiyi and walked towards the bedroom.
"My hair isn't dry yet."
"I'll help you dry it."
Gu Yunze said it was nice, but in fact, not only did he not help dry her hair, but he made it even wetter.
Jiang Yiyi was so tired that she couldn't even say a word to blame him. She slept until dawn, raised her hand to touch the watch on the bedside, and it was half past nine.
She got up, dressed, and walked out of the bedroom. There was a note on the dining table with Gu Yunze's strong handwriting on it. "Wife, the porridge and steamed buns are hot in the pot. You don't have to make lunch. I'll go to the cafeteria and get it back."
He knew that he had made too much noise last night and Jiang Yiyi couldn't get up.
Jiang Yiyi drank a bowl of porridge and ate half a steamed bun. She wanted to clean the house, but seeing that everything was clean, she didn't clean it. She took the photo and sent it to Mrs. Qin first.
"Yiyi, when will you come back?"
Seeing her, Sister Qin was very surprised.
"It was too late last night so I didn't come."
Jiang Yiyi took more than ten photos, and Mrs. Qin picked four. In addition to keeping one for herself, she also wanted to mail a few back to her family. She had never been to Tiananmen Square, and her family had certainly never been there.
"I'll bring back some hot pot ingredients. If sister-in-law is free this afternoon, let's go buy some beef and mutton."
"OK."
Jiang Yiyi went to Zhou's and Gu's houses again and gave them the remaining food to share. Knowing that they were also free, she invited them to go together.
"It's getting dark early now, let's go after lunch, the earlier we go, the earlier we can come back."
At noon, Gu Yunze ordered two servings of rice, one serving of braised hairtail fish, and one serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Jiang Yiyi ate late. She ate only half a bowl of rice and three pieces of hairtail fish, and Gu Yunze ate all the rest.
After dinner, before Gu Yunze left for the army, she and her three sisters-in-law took a bus to the county. They first went to the shopping mall and saw that there were not only washing machines but also refrigerators, so they bought them. Anyway, she had already been famous in the family compound, so it didn't matter if she became famous again.
The three sisters-in-law were no longer surprised by her behavior.
Leave your address and have someone deliver it, then go to the supply and marketing cooperative. There is beef and mutton, but it's a little fatty, and it's in whole pieces, not in small pieces, so you have to go back and cut it yourself.
Jiang Yiyi bought 20 kilograms of mutton, 20 kilograms of beef, a chicken, and two fish, and went back to make chicken balls and fish balls. She also bought 10 kilograms of shrimp, some of which she ate in hot pot and some of which she made into shrimp paste. She also bought 20 kilograms of meat, sesame paste, and some seasonings.
As for the hot pot dishes, you can just go back to the staff quarters and buy them.
It cost about two hundred yuan.
The three sisters-in-law were all shocked.
The three of them looked at each other for several times. If Jiang Yiyi's family had nothing to eat at home, it would be too extravagant to invite the three of them to eat.
"Yiyi, ah..."
Mrs. Qin swallowed her saliva and said, "Just buy less."
To have a good time, their family can't spend more than 200 yuan.
"It's a rare opportunity to eat, so just eat as much as you can."
A few people really didn't know that they had to buy so many things to eat hot pot. If they knew, they would never agree to eat hot pot even if they were beaten to death.
"Yes, yes..."
Seeing her thoughts, Jiang Yiyi smiled and said, "We won't eat all of these at once. I bought a refrigerator, so I'll buy some more and put them in there so I don't have to come to the county town to buy them when I need them."
Only then did they feel a little more at ease.
Although their families have a good relationship, they can't always rely on Jiang Yiyi. They want to tell the one at home after returning home not to go to Jiang Yiyi's house for dinner easily in the future. It's not right to just eat at someone's house without returning the invitation, and they don't have extra money to return the invitation.
Jiang Yiyi also thought about this. No matter how good the relationship was, if the consumption levels were not on the same level, the relationship would not be maintained over time.
"Yes, sister-in-law, is there anyone in our family compound who makes sausages?"
"What sausage?"
Mrs. Zhou asked.
Probably no one did it, Jiang Yiyi had some plans.
"It's made by stuffing pork into sausage casings and drying them in the air. You can eat it all year round. If no one makes it, I'll teach you sisters-in-law and you can make it and sell it."
The three people's eyes suddenly lit up, and they said in unison, "Really?"
Jiang Yiyi nodded, "But the smell is very strong when processing the casings. I don't know if you can stand it."
The casings were not processed well at this time, so you may have to buy them and process them yourself.
"If it can be sold, I'd be willing to sleep on shit, not to mention the strong smell."
Mrs. Zhou said that she was the youngest and had lived the hardest life, so she would do anything as long as it could make money and not break the law.
Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Qin also nodded.
"Okay, ask around these two days to find out where I can buy sausage casings. I'll teach you how to make them the day after tomorrow."
The three of them were very happy.
They were very excited on the way back, and they told their husbands about it at night. They all expressed their strong support, especially Zhao Feng who said to Qin's wife, "You can make it. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it. It's just for the day, and we can keep it for ourselves."
