Although the lunch was simple, it received unanimous praise from everyone, especially Mrs. Fu, who praised it endlessly.
Lin Siya almost lost herself in the praise from Fu's mother. She seriously suspected that her mother-in-law was PUAing her.
Are ordinary home-cooked dishes really this delicious? However, seeing the serious looks of her mother-in-law and Aunt Wang, she inexplicably believed it, and then took on the burden of the family dinner in the evening. Lin Siya was also convinced.
However, my mother-in-law was really busy. She took Aunt Wang out again in the afternoon, and it seemed that there were some things she hadn't bought yet.
My mother-in-law hasn't retired yet and has to go to work every day. She doesn't have time to prepare these things. I can't let the four elderly people in the family go.
So after confirming the wedding date, I took a long vacation and set aside time to prepare for the wedding. It was quite tiring. In addition, there were elderly people at home and it was so cold that there was no one to help, so I could only take Aunt Wang with me.
In the evening, Fu Sinian's two sisters and brother-in-law would also come with their children, because they all had to work during the day, but the children had already had their day off.
Lin Siya had never met her two sisters-in-law before, so she didn't know what their personalities were like. She hoped they could get along well.
Because there were many people at night, Lin Siya needed to prepare a lot of things. Fortunately, Fu Sinian was there to help.
The two of them first went out to buy vegetables. The nearest market was not far from the family compound, and it took about ten minutes to get there by bike.
Aunt Wang is usually the one who buys groceries for the family. Aunt Wang doesn’t ride a bicycle, so she walks to nearby places. For places that are far away, she will ask the driver to drop her off or take the bus.
Two people were riding their bicycles and preparing to go out. Today was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Many factories and government agencies were not on holiday. In addition, the weather was cold, so there were not many people outside at this time.
Otherwise, if they were seen going out, they would definitely be surrounded by many people. After all, the news that the two of them had obtained their marriage certificate was not kept secret. In this military compound, most of the families who had a good relationship with the Fu family knew about it, and also knew that they were planning to hold a wedding.
At that time, the relationship between people was not as indifferent as it would be decades later. Neighbors generally got along well with each other, and were willing to help whenever someone had a problem at home.
Those who have a good relationship with them can even help for several days. This time, when they hold their wedding, although they will not entertain guests at home, they will also entertain relatives and friends at home. At that time, the neighbors will definitely come to help.
The two of them rode their bicycles and arrived at the market in just over ten minutes.
The vegetable market here is much bigger than that in their small town. As expected of the country's capital, even the supply of materials is very abundant.
Here you can find specialties from all over the world, including meat, fruit, seafood... a wide variety of ingredients to choose from.
It’s a pity that most of them require tickets and are in limited supply. However, the four elderly people in the family receive pensions every month, and there are also various bills issued by the state. In addition, my parents-in-law also work in the unit, plus the two of them.
She had earned quite a lot of money from tickets, so after lunch, Mother Fu gave her a stack of tickets, which contained all kinds of tickets.
The two first went to a seafood stall. Due to the cold weather, every sea fish was frozen hard.
Lin Siya first bought two kilograms of hairtail fish. Each of these hairtail fish was as wide as her palm and looked meaty. She thought it would be very delicious to make braised hairtail fish.
She bought another mackerel. This kind of mackerel has a special feature, that is, it has a lot of meat. She had learned a method of making fish balls before, which was made with this kind of mackerel. It is especially suitable for children to eat, and it can also be made into fish noodles. There are always several ways to cook it.
The swordfish is very big, weighing more than 20 kilograms each. However, there are many people coming today, so several dishes can be made with this swordfish.
She had bought mackerel once before when she was in the provincial capital. That time the mackerel was even bigger, weighing several dozen kilograms, so it was cut into pieces and sold in pieces.
After buying two kinds of sea fish, Lin Siya saw river fish for sale. The main species were common fish such as crucian carp and grass carp, but she didn't buy any.
The two of them went to buy some meat. Lin Siya didn't like fatty meat, but preferred lean meat and some ribs.
Thinking of a very famous dish, she ordered a piece of pork tenderloin. She planned to have Beijing-style shredded pork in the evening and also ordered some spare ribs. There was dried kelp at home, so she could make a kelp and spare rib soup or a sweet and sour spare ribs.
After buying the meat and bones, I saw someone selling mutton, so I bought some to make stir-fried mutton with green onions.
The two went to the vegetable area again. The weather was too cold. Even in the capital of the country, there were not many vegetables available.
Even if they are transported from the south, fresh vegetables will be frozen on the way. Even if they are transported, the price will probably be very expensive, and it is probably not affordable for ordinary people.
In the northern region, the problem of difficulty in getting vegetables in winter continued until many years later. At that time, agricultural technology developed and vegetable greenhouses emerged, which allowed people in the northern region to eat fresh vegetables in winter.
So there is no need to think about it at this time. There are only cabbage, potatoes, and radishes. Of course, there are some others, such as green leeks, which are very popular and will basically be sold out as soon as they appear.
