Ye Wubing curled his lips. He was just curious, but that was his attitude! If he didn't want to talk about it, then forget it. If he got a partner in the future, he would stay over at his partner's house! Look at how proud his brother was. What's so great about it...
After chatting for a while, dinner was ready and everyone started to eat happily.
Ye Bailu pleaded pitifully, "Brother, please peel some shrimp for me. I want to eat two more. Mom said there won't be any more shrimp after this meal, but I really like these sweet shrimps..."
Ye Zhiqiu thought it was quite funny. He agreed and started peeling shrimp for Ye Bailu. He smiled and said to her, "This stuff is actually not difficult to get back and eat, but we have to wait until the train is running normally.
During my business trip this time, I also met two train attendants. They often go to Tianjin and can bring back some seafood, though not much. I can still get some back."
Ye Tianya was surprised and said, "Oh, Boss, you know someone like this? Then ask him to bring back more kelp next time! It's not only inexpensive, but also very delicious. Mixed with chili peppers, it goes really well with both wine and rice!"
Ye Zhiqiu was a little dumbfounded, because he really didn't like kelp at all, but his family members looked like they agreed. Is this thing really that delicious?
He picked up a piece of cold kelp shreds with chopsticks. The chili powder was a bit spicy, and it tasted just like that!
So he asked curiously, "Do you really think kelp is delicious?"
Seeing everyone nodding, he scratched his head and said, "It's strange. Why do I always feel that kelp tastes bad when I eat it..."
Unexpectedly, everyone looked up at Ye Zhiqiu, looking very surprised!
Ye Bailu asked curiously, "Brother, don't you think kelp is very different from the vegetables we usually eat? It has such a fresh and interesting taste, and it's especially fun to chew. It's really interesting and delicious!"
Ye Wubing also agreed with his face: "Yes, this kelp is so rare. I think our family ate it once when I was nine years old? I remember that big brother said it was delicious at that time, but now you don’t like it anymore. It’s really strange..."
Ye Zhiqiu quickly explained, "No, it's not that I don't like it, I just ate too much and it doesn't taste as good anymore. As long as you like it, it's really not expensive. Fishermen on the coast grow vegetables like they do. When they grow, they pick them up and dry them in the sun, so there's really a lot of this stuff."
He attributed his dislike for vegetables to his love of meat. He also attributed his year-long experience at the Malan base to eating too many wild vegetables, which may have contributed to his dislike for vegetables now.
It should be said that I just don’t like eating vegetables that much, not that I don’t eat them.
Wang Xiaolan smiled and said, "This thing is really good. It goes well with rice or steamed buns, or can be stewed in soup or served cold. And didn't the radio say that eating this thing can prevent goiter?"
Wang Fugui nodded and said, "That's true. Since the founding of our country, there has been a plan to eat kelp to prevent goiter. I think it was about what kelp is good for?"
Oh, and there’s iodine! Goiter is caused by iodine deficiency, so domestic experts have been researching how to grow kelp, and have made some progress in recent years.
My eldest grandson, you don’t know that kelp is not expensive in coastal cities. Thanks to Tianjin, the price in our capital is not expensive either.
But if you go to other inland cities, especially those with severe neck problems, a pound of dried kelp costs one or two yuan! It's not what you call cheap, it's just not expensive here."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know much about this matter, because he knew that there were not many records of people's livelihood in the past of the Republic.
So he smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, since this thing has benefits and everyone loves it so much! Then I'll wait until the train opens and ask those people to bring back more kelp for our family."
Wang Fugui said happily: "In fact, the kelp soup is very delicious, but I can't get bones and ribs right now. Otherwise, I can put some dried fish, dried shrimps, and scallops in the soup, and it will be very delicious when used to cook noodles!
When I was working in Guangzhou, there was a small private restaurant that made this soup base. They used it to make wonton noodles, and it was so delicious that I always had to drink up all the soup.
Ye Bailu asked curiously, "Grandpa, what is dried fish? What kind of noodles are wonton noodles? Are they delicious?"
Wang Fugui explained cheerfully, "My dear, 'dadi dried fish' is the Guangzhou name for sole, or flounder! 'Wonton noodles' is also the Guangzhou name for it. It's actually the wonton and noodles that grandpa took you to eat last time!"
Ye Bailu nodded, and she continued to ask: "Grandpa, the wontons last time were so delicious. When can we go eat them again?"
Ye Zhiqiu said angrily, "Little sister, you are looking down on me, your big brother! It's just a broken wonton. If it had meat, I can make it even better than the ones out there!"
Ye Bailu said flatteringly with a smile on her face, "That's right, big brother's cooking skills are the best. Isn't it because we can't buy pork and only have wontons over there? Otherwise, I wouldn't care. Big brother's cooking is definitely ten thousand times more delicious!"
Wang Xiaolan laughed and scolded, "You silly girl, your flattery skills have gotten better and better in the past two years! Old man, you've been pampering her like this all day long, but don't you see what she's become now? She's only good at flattering..."
Ye Bailu was not annoyed, but instead flattered Wang Xiaolan, praising her for the delicious dishes she cooked today, which made her smile with pride.
Ye Zhiqiu held back her laughter. This cheap old woman was criticizing her little girl one second, and the next second she was flattered by her and had completely forgotten what she had just said.
After dinner, Ye Zhiqiu smoked a cigarette, said goodbye to his family, and went out with a flashlight.
He didn't go cycling because in such bad weather, it would be easy to fall off even with snow chains.
So he might as well walk out, since he wasn't really running very far anyway. After leaving his yard, he closed the gate, walked forward about ten meters, and entered the space at the corner of the wall.
The room was still warm, and Ye Zhiqiu took off his coat, hat, scarf, and gloves. With the temperature at 26 or 27 degrees Celsius, wearing such thick clothes would make him sweat in a matter of minutes.
He did not just sit there and wait, but squeezed some peanut oil, mixed the remaining residue with various ingredients, and fed it to the pigs, and then fed salt to the cattle and sheep.
He fed all the creatures in the space. Then he went to see the rabbits and collected thousands of them, storing them in the space bubble.
There are more and more rabbits, this thing really needs a batch. Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but think of Xu Tiejun, the military procurement officer of the 416th Regiment.
In fact, he thought he could take a risk and sell some rabbits to them. He was not prepared to ask for a sky-high price, but just consider it as supporting his comrades in the brother unit.
But there has to be a suitable opportunity. Ye Zhiqiu would feel uncomfortable if he rashly went to discuss this matter with him.
After staying in the space for three hours, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when Ye Zhiqiu finally walked out of the space carrying two bags and headed home.
