Chapter 268 Huainan Craftsmanship
Tumble dry on warm air to keep you dry and comfortable.
"Jiang Wen." Gu Lixia had just called out when Jiang Wen arrived. "Let's soak in the tub. I feel exhausted."
Gu Lixia was put into the bathtub, and Jiang Wen went to tidy up the sheets and quilt covers.
Bubble massage and waterfall massage, colorful lights are turned on at the same time.
Gu Lixia washed her hands, dried them, put her fingers into her mouth, and swallowed about 200ml of the Merit Spring water.
Looking at myself in the mirror, my face was flushed.
Jiang Wen is an expert at growing strawberries.
The chest, neck, shoulders, and back are colored from pink to dark purple.
Fortunately, I am also an expert in growing strawberries.
Put the Merit Spring Water into the other hand, then stretch it towards the injured area, and you will feel a cool sensation.
Pour rose essential oil into the bathtub and Gu Lixia slowly lay down. After 15 minutes, Gu Lixia stood up with the help of the wall, turned on the water, rinsed with the shower head, and dried her body with a towel.
I asked the system and found out that Jiang Wen was next door. He came out and changed into his underwear and robe.
Ice silk summer thin short-sleeved nightgown, mid-length, retro Chinese style, large size home clothes.
Button up your clothes, move to the sink, brush your teeth, wash your face, and go back to the bed.
Lift up the thin quilt and lie down. The silk quilt is an ideal choice for summer, light, soft and fine.
Brewing sleepiness.
In a drowsy state, she felt herself being pulled into the arms of her man and felt a gentle kiss on her cheek.
Gu Lixia fell asleep completely.
When she woke up the next day, Gu Lixia saw the arm passing under her neck, the warmth of another person behind her, and the hand that was unconsciously placed on her belly.
Gu Lixia slowly sat up, lifted the quilt, took away Jiang Wen's hand on her lower abdomen, slowly moved away, and got off the ground.
After taking two steps, the pain was not as exaggerated as others described. I just felt a little discomfort and a slight feeling of heaviness.
Gu Lixia went to the kitchen to make soy milk.
I'm so hungry.
Cook 2 pots of sesame rice noodles.
Pour soy milk.
Let the system play a sound to wake Jiang Wen up.
Jiang Wen, in high spirits, walked into the kitchen, took the pot to the dining table, and then brought the soy milk.
Gu Lixia took the dishes and chopsticks.
"How is it?" Jiang Wen took a sip of soy milk, feeling a little embarrassed, but still looked at Gu Lixia.
Gu Lixia looked at the shy Jiang Wen and suddenly felt less embarrassed. "It's okay. I need to rest for two days."
After finishing the meal in silence, Jiang Wen cleaned up. Gu Lixia waited for Jiang Wen to finish cleaning up before letting everyone out of the space.
Jiang Wen called Jiang Xiu, and the brother and sister worked together to store water.
……
As soon as Jiang Wen left, Gu Lixia went back to the house, put a small basin of Merit Spring water in it, and took a sitz bath.
It was time, I dried off, and felt better again.
Change clothes and leave the space.
Push the door open and go out.
Jiang Wen and Huainan were watering the fields, and Jiang Xiu was cooking in the kitchen.
Millet porridge and fried baby cabbage.
Gu Lixia didn't go to the kitchen, but lay down on the rocking chair.
Huainan saw Gu Lixia and asked, "Second Aunt, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay. I came up with a story yesterday and went to bed late. Huainan, what were you thinking about when you were cooking?" Gu Lixia's voice had returned to normal.
"I don't have any idea. I saw you guys making it a lot and felt like I had figured it out, so I just did it blindly. It's just that my aunt said I put too much oil in it." Huainan said while watering the vegetables.
"What's the big deal about too much oil? We have oil at home. If there's too much seasoning, just drink more water. You learn these basics first, and on Sunday, I'll teach you how to make dried seafood." Gu Lixia didn't care about this at all.
"Okay." Huainan knew that Second Aunt had the final say on all matters big and small in the family.
eat.
Go to work and school.
After get off work in the afternoon, Gu Liqiu came to the house and set the wedding date on the 27th. Gu Lixia gave him four pounds of meat tickets and said, "Look at what tickets you still need. I'll give you whatever I have. If you don't have any, I'll go exchange them with others."
Gu Liqiu reported the situation, "This yard belongs to me. I was given a 200 yuan subsidy. My monthly salary is 30 yuan, and I used the remaining 10 yuan as a gift to my parents. My parents lent me cotton to make us a new set of bedding. They also gave me and my wife two new sets of clothes."
"From the courtyard, only the bedding was taken away. The rest remained. Since my eldest brother's expenses were comparable, it was better to marry in the old courtyard. After the ceremony, we'll come back here."
Gu Lixia knew as soon as she heard it that the old couple could be so kind to their youngest son.
My sister-in-law is going to be angry.
But it has nothing to do with me, so why should I care whether they live or die?
Gu Lixia's attitude made Gu Liqiu very satisfied.
He took the meat ticket and left.
Gu Lixia was also very satisfied, so she used her eloquence to split the two families into three.
There will be some fun to watch later.
There is never any fairness between the two daughters-in-law.
.........
On the 17th, Huaixi got up early in the morning and searched through all the tomatoes by himself, picking and washing all the red ones.
When I got to work, I brought them to the factory and distributed them to the factory director, secretary, and all the security staff (who worked the day shift in the first half of the month and the night shift in the second half of the month) who didn't get any tomatoes that day. They were all distributed in the cafeteria.
Only then was I satisfied.
The 20th was Huainan’s first Sunday for cooking.
Shrimp skin, dried scallops, dried squid, dried cuttlefish, dried snail meat, dried whitebait, dried sea cucumber, dried abalone, fish maw, seaweed, and kelp.
Gu Lixia talked, Jiang Xiu lit the fire, and Huainan started cooking. He washed the shrimps and soaked them in clean water to remove excess salt and impurities.
Then beat the eggs into a bowl, add appropriate amount of salt and chopped green onions, and stir well.
Heat the pan with cold oil, put the dried shrimp into the pan and stir-fry until slightly yellow. Then pour the egg liquid into the pan and fry slowly over low heat until both sides are golden brown.
The second dish is stir-fried scallops. Tear the soaked scallops into small pieces and stir-fry them with lettuce. Finally, add salt to taste.
The third dish is stir-fried dried squid. Soak the dried squid in warm water, peel off the skin and cut into small pieces.
Cut the green and red peppers into shreds, and mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat the pan with cold oil, add garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the dried squid and stir-fry evenly.
Add cooking wine, stir-fry evenly, then add light soy sauce and sugar, and continue to stir-fry evenly.
Add green and red peppers, stir-fry until cooked, and season with salt.
Huainan drew inferences from this, "Does that mean we can also stir-fry dried cuttlefish?"
"Yes, there are also dried whitebait and fish maw, which are the dried goods sent by your brother Zili. Basically, they can be stir-fried. Of course, you can also make porridge. Learn slowly and there is no rush. But the soaking time of seafood is different, 48 hours, 24 hours, 12 hours..." Gu Lixia said while giving instructions.
Gu Lixia watched Huainan's interest and taught him in detail, explaining the approximate amount of ingredients to use and the required heat.
I also taught me how to stew dried snail meat into soup, together with kelp, dried shrimp, skin, ginger, onion and salt.
Similarly, soak the dried snail meat in warm water until it softens and then cut it into thin slices
Soak the kelp in water, wash and cut it in advance.
To stir-fry dried snail meat, heat the pan and oil, add ginger slices and dried snail meat slices and stir-fry for two or three times. When the aroma comes out, pour in enough water and keep the heat on high until boiling.
