Speaking of coconut, Yin Xiaoman had never eaten it before, and had never even seen it.
If Da Mi hadn't come and brought Da Bao and Er Niu back from the mountain to cut some fruits, she would never have noticed the fruits growing on the top of the tall tree.
But after she broke open one and ate it, she was immediately captivated by its sweet taste.
Originally she thought that the thing was just juice to drink, but then she saw Da Mi using a knife to scoop out the coconut meat piece by piece and feed it to the two little ones.
The two little guys were like puppies waiting to be fed. They surrounded Da Mi obediently, with their mouths open and their eyes looking eager, acting like they had never been so well-behaved and sensible before.
Yin Xiaoman laughed when he saw it.
She walked over to find Rice and asked for a piece as well. After chewing it for a few times, several delicious dishes derived from it quickly appeared in her mind.
After that, the utilization rate of coconuts in their family can be said to be very high.
When Yin Xiaoman cooks, her cooking skills are unmatched. Although Cui Yan didn’t know what the big fruit in the child’s hand was? But when he heard her ask, he agreed without hesitation.
The two of them walked to the kitchen, chatting and laughing.
Yin Xiaoman was so excited about the arrival of Cui Yan's family that he completely forgot to see what the supply ship had delivered.
When I arrived at the kitchen, I found that the group had sent quite a lot of things this time!
Although it is still hot now, it is much better than in July and August. Although there was still no fresh meat, this time there were eggs and a full basin of tofu soaked in cold water.
In addition, some bacon and Chinese sausage were also given, as well as milk powder specially provided to the experts, and a much wider variety of seasonal vegetables than usual.
What surprised Yin Xiaoman the most was that she actually saw several live chickens in the corner!
She walked over and pointed at the chickens and asked, "Are these also sent by the group for everyone to eat?"
Ren Pingan quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, sister-in-law, you dare not take this away and stew it. This is the hens that the regiment sent over specially for our kitchen team to try to raise. I'm counting on them to lay eggs!"
"Didn't you say that chickens can't survive if they hear the sound of blasting every day?" Yin Xiaoman looked at him in surprise.
"Let's give it a try. What if? What if these chickens are not afraid of the explosion and can still lay eggs?" Ren Ping'an's expression was also helpless.
Yin Xiaoman pursed her lips and said nothing.
She thought Ren Ping'an had a good idea, but the reality might be very different from the idea.
She didn't know whether the chicken would be frightened to death by the loud noise, but it was almost certain that it would be too scared to lay eggs.
She stared at the chickens for a long while, and began to think about how she could bring one back to kill after Ren Ping'an was completely desperate...
I’m afraid that by that time, the chicken will be too skinny.
Thinking of this, she smacked her lips with a hint of regret.
Maybe it was because her eyes were too direct, and Ren Ping'an was wary of her.
He quickly stuffed a large backpack into Yin Xiaoman's arms and said, "Sister-in-law, this is what the battalion commander asked the supply ship to bring back. It's your family's stuff, so take it back quickly."
When he heard that it was his own food, Yin Xiaoman finally came to his senses. He stopped staring at the chicken and started to pick up the basket.
With this pull, she immediately smiled happily.
That basket contains almost all the delicious food available outside.
Bacon, eggs, milk powder, fresh vegetables, sugar, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Looking at these things, Yin Xiaoman's heart was filled with joy, and she felt that her man was becoming more and more considerate.
He knows what he likes best better than anyone else.
Indeed, for Yin Xiaoman now, buying these things makes her much happier than buying her a bunch of floral fabrics, hair oil, or a few sets of clothes.
"Hey, these are all food that Xiao Shen bought for you?"
Cui Yan leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but click her tongue twice: "You two spent all your money on food?"
Although she had just arrived, she had learned about the situation on the island during the previous training in the group. I know that the supply ship comes once a month, and every time it comes, it will bring some necessities for everyone.
If an individual needs to buy something, he can prepare the money, tickets and supply books in advance and then ask the crew to take them back. This way, when they go to the island again next month, they can bring the things they bought back to the island.
It was obvious that the things in this basket were the same as those sent to the kitchen because the supply books and all the money tickets were given to the crew members and they were told to buy whatever they wanted.
Yin Xiaoman smiled and said nothing.
Now the whole family is on this island, and no one knows when they can leave the island. Apart from buying some necessities from outside, there is basically no expense on the island.
What to do with the money?
Whenever she thought of this, the wooden box full of silver ingots and various jewelry in her own space would appear before her eyes.
Keep the money and wait for it to turn into ashes after you die?
You can't blame her for having such thoughts. The truth is - whether in her previous life or this life, she has never seen any hope for the future.
In that case, let’s just live every day to the fullest.
Before going to the island, Lupin told them that writing letters to outsiders was not allowed. If he wanted to send money home, he could tell the amount and someone in the group would be responsible for deducting it from Shen Qingyun's salary every month and then sending it directly from the group.
It doesn't go through their hands, and the address here is not placed.
Therefore, for Yin Xiaoman now, doing her job well and supporting her family are her most important things.
Handing the basket to Da Mi, Yin Xiaoman picked out some things she needed recently from those things and left the kitchen with them.
Because the new warehouse has now taken shape, although it cannot be officially put into use yet, it can be used as a temporary storage room.
The temperature there is basically maintained at a constant temperature of more than ten degrees. Although ice cannot be stored, it is much cooler than outside when storing food.
So now Yin Xiaoman doesn’t take too many things each time, and most of them are taken away by Ren Pingan and others and put in the warehouse.
She mainly took milk powder, eggs, sugar and flour.
There are so many children in the family all of a sudden, so she wants to make a dessert today - coconut milk cake.
There is no child who doesn’t like snacks, especially if they have never had them before.
Since she was going to do it, she wanted to do more and whet the appetite of the experts.
After returning home, without waiting for Yin Xiaoman's instructions, Da Mi called his friends and took the group of little ones to the back mountain to cut coconuts.
Qiangzi and Huzi had never lived such a life before. Suddenly there was an older brother willing to play with them. The excitement made the two boys' eyes light up.
After sitting on the boat for such a long time, he didn't feel tired at all. He just followed Dami and the others up the mountain.
Looking at their backs, Cui Yan smiled for a long time, then went to wash her hands, walked over to Yin Xiaoman and said, "See if I can help you with anything. I don't know how to make coconut milk cake, but you can tell me any other rough work, I can definitely do it."
