The two of them took out the things in the bag while chatting. In fact, there was really a lot of dried kelp after soaking.
Half of the bag is filled with dried kelp and seaweed. The seaweed nowadays is different from that in later generations, as it is in clumps.
As for how he got tanned like this, Ye Zhiqiu had no idea.
Needless to say, there were dried shrimps and scallops, as well as some dried sea cucumbers and abalone. Fish maw and shark fins were not necessarily what his family liked to eat, so Ye Zhiqiu didn't want any of those in this bag.
The rest are dried salted fish, dried squid, and frozen fresh fish. There are more than a dozen hairtails, seven or eight yellow croakers, and the most are horse mackerel, with many of them. Moreover, these things are not big, only about two kilograms each.
Unlike yellow croaker, which weighs four or five pounds each.
That’s right, yellow croaker is expensive in later generations. Although more people like to eat it at that time, it is not particularly expensive.
Because this thing only started to be sought after in the 1970s and 1980s, and because of its high price, it was naturally caught in various ways.
At this time, fishermen go out to sea to trawl nets to catch fish, and their nets can catch several yellow croakers.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "With so many fish, we can only put them in the utility room, otherwise they won't be able to freeze and will go bad easily."
Wang Fugui nodded and said, "Yellow croaker is good, let's steam one tonight!"
"Grandpa, it's not over yet! There are frozen prawns and mantis shrimps downstairs. I want to see braised yellow croaker, boiled prawns and mantis shrimps, and then some seaweed, kelp and egg soup!"
Wang Fugui said happily, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Although Grandpa has eaten a lot, he doesn't know how to handle these things."
The two of them went to the fish room, fetched baskets, and began to sort and stack the fish. There was nothing they could do; even in this cold weather, there were still rats running around, and they couldn't let them eat up these good things.
It was only three o'clock when everything was ready. Ye Zhiqiu said something to Wang Fugui, took a bath ticket, went to the bathhouse, took a bath, and rubbed the mud off.
After returning home, he started to cook dinner. Before he finished, Ye Wubing and his sister came back.
"Brother, I miss you so much!"
"Liar, you want to eat meat!"
"Sister-in-law misses you too. She said she'll come over tonight!"
Ye Zhiqiu was overjoyed. He didn't expect Feng Xiaomei to come too. So he would have to cook one more dish!
He said to Ye Bailu, "Okay, I'll make you some meat. Go do your homework first!"
Ye Bailu nodded and skipped back to the living room, because she had already seen the fish that had been killed and the shrimps that had been processed.
She has never eaten mantis shrimp. She thinks the insects have so many legs and look ugly...
Ye Wubing parked his bicycle, pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen. He smiled and asked, "Brother, do you need my help?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, asked him to help wash the side dishes, and then taught him how to cook tonight's dishes.
As a man, there’s nothing wrong with learning a few more dishes!
After all, he was able to hook up with his sister-in-law Feng Xiaomei because of his feeding her. Now that he has passed on the skills to him, whether he can find a wife is his problem!
It’s really not difficult to cook seafood. Many things are just a matter of not knowing how to prepare them. As long as you know how to prepare them, you can either stir-fry, steam, pan-fry or boil them. What’s so difficult about that?
The steamed buns were moved to the side, and Ye Zhiqiu instructed Ye Wubing how to cook, and Feng Xiaomei also came to Ye's house.
Ye Zhiqiu immediately took the spatula and asked Ye Wubing to go back to the living room to do his homework. He and your sister-in-law would cook in the kitchen!
Ye Wubing covered his mouth and laughed secretly, closing the door. Seeing Ye Tianya and the others coming back, he shushed them and whispered, "Dad, Mom, my sister-in-law is here. She's cooking in the kitchen with my brother. Don't disturb them. Maybe my brother is kissing her..."
"Go away, you little brat, go back to the living room, you know nothing..."
After sending away the sullen Ye Wubing, Ye Tianya went to park his bicycle. Wang Xiaolan walked stealthily to the kitchen door, looked in through the crack, and saw Lao Da and Feng Xiaomei hugging and kissing each other.
She smiled like an auntie, pulled Ye Tianya who had come out, and quickly went back to the living room to leave space for the couple who were being intimate inside.
The two of them didn't know how long it was before they finally separated and started cooking dinner together.
"Zhiqiu, why did you get so much seafood? This stuff is very valuable. My mom used to get yellow croaker, but it was not easy to buy it."
"This time I went to Tianjin and ate all kinds of seafood. I finally understood what it meant to eat all-you-can-eat seafood. There was no food there, so the fishermen ate seafood to fill their stomachs. I ate so much that I got tired of it.
There were a group of us there, being watched by the fishermen like they were watching a circus. We had never tried eating all-you-can-eat seafood without even having to eat!
The seafood there isn't expensive either. When I came back, wasn't there a hidden benefit for the transporters? Anyway, you can bring a bag of goods. I brought back quite a bit of seafood for you all to try.
I've been on holiday for two days now. I don't know when the cold snap will hit. If it does, I might have to take several days off!"
"That's great! I'll also have a day off tomorrow, but we'll only have four days off because tomorrow is Sunday, and the instructor said a cold snap is coming tomorrow."
The two chatted about their respective events of the past few days while cooking in a sweet voice. When the kelp, seaweed and egg soup was ready, they began to carry the dishes to the living room.
Seeing the two people come back, Ye Tianya and the others went to help serve the dishes and steamed buns, and soon they started to have dinner in a lively manner.
Ye Zhiqiu was very busy, helping Feng Xiaomei peel prawns and teaching Ye Wubing and his sister how to peel prawns.
Fortunately, Feng Xiaomei still felt sorry for him and would peel a shrimp from time to time, dip it in soy sauce and feed it to him.
Wang Xiaolan and Ye Tianya exchanged glances, and neither of them needed to speak. They expressed their meanings just by exchanging glances.
After dinner, Feng Xiaomei taught Ye Wubing the mechanical principles that he didn't know. However, Ye Bailu didn't learn those, as she could handle the homework on her own.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't even know how gentle the look in his eyes was when he watched Feng Xiaomei teaching Ye Wubing, and the curve of his lips was revealed unconsciously.
"Oh, it's snowing heavily!"
There was originally a howling wind in the yard, but Wang Xiaolan's voice was a bit shocking, so Ye Zhiqiu and the others also heard it.
Everyone stood up and opened the door to see that heavy snow was falling in the entire area illuminated by the lights.
Feng Xiaomei frowned and said helplessly: "Why did it snow so suddenly? Didn't it say it would snow tomorrow?..."
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes and quickly consoled her, "Don't worry, there's no class tomorrow anyway, so it doesn't matter how heavy the rain is. Don't go back tonight, I have a lot to tell you."
Feng Xiaomei naturally knew what he meant and blushed, but it was too difficult to go back in this weather!
So she didn't say anything. Wang Xiaolan and Ye Tianya ran back. Just a distance of more than ten meters, the snowflakes made their hair turn white!
