After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group
Chapter 35 Making Eel
Xiangyi thought about it and felt that it was indeed better than others. She did not bargain. In her opinion, this price was already super cheap. "Okay, big brother, how much do you want?"
Hu Shan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. This girl was very open-minded, unlike some picky ones who always found fault with everything to lower the price.
He felt that he was lucky today as he met someone who was easy to talk to and a big client.
After Hu Shan weighed the fish, he said, "Sister, the fish is 30 catties, and the crabs and shrimps are 36 catties. The total is yuan."
Xiangyi paid the money readily, and then Mrs. Qin came back from another stall: "Xiang sister, are you done shopping?"
"Sister-in-law Qin, I've bought these two buckets. I'll ask this big brother to help me send them back to the family compound later."
Mrs. Qin was also stunned: "Sister: ...Why did you buy so much!"
Xiang Yi smiled sweetly and said, "Let them eat as much as they want tonight. I'm afraid it won't be enough."
"Sister-in-law, do you sell fruits and vegetables besides seafood here?" Xiangyi heard other shouts besides seafood.
"Yes, some are grown by fishermen themselves and sold along with seafood. Others are not fishermen, but villagers from nearby villages who bring vegetables grown in their own private plots here to sell."
Xiangyi said she had learned a lesson. This was just a simple vegetable market. Such scenes could only be seen in black markets. But here, it was openly displayed, and it seemed that the higher-ups had tacitly approved it.
After buying so much seafood, we need a lot of ginger: "Sister-in-law Qin, brother, wait for me here, I'll go shopping and see if there's anything else I need."
Mrs. Qin readily agreed: "Go ahead, sister, I'll wait for you here."
Hu Shan nodded and indicated that he had no objection.
Xiangyi continued walking around and looked around, and came to an old lady's stall. She had spread a wooden board on the ground and placed the vegetables on it, arranging them very neatly.
Although the clothes the old lady wore were worn out and patched up, they looked clean and meticulous. Xiangyi took a liking to the old lady at first sight.
"Auntie, how much are you selling this ginger, garlic, chili peppers, radishes, and beans for?"
The old lady looked up at Xiangyi and said with a smile, "They're all one cent a pound. Girl, do you want some?"
Xiangyi nodded: "Auntie, I want ginger, garlic, chili peppers, radishes, and beans. How much do you want?"
In fact, there wasn't much of each left, at most one or two pounds of each. Only ginger and garlic were more, probably about four or five pounds.
The old lady was naturally happy to hear this and immediately started to weigh her: "Girl, it's 30 pounds in total, and it's cents in total!"
After paying the bill, Xiangyi put the vegetables into the bucket she brought, then said goodbye to the old lady and left.
I met up with Mrs. Qin and Hu Shan. Hu Shan was pushing a cart. When he saw Xiang Yi's bucket filled with vegetables, he asked her to put the bucket on the cart...
It was already past eleven when she got home. Not knowing when Jiang Yan would be back, she didn't delay and started cooking...
Cook the rice first. Xiangyi likes to drink rice soup the most. In her opinion, the drained rice soup with sugar tastes better than milk, thick and smooth.
Fortunately, there was a large vegetable sink in the kitchen. She poured all the fish into it and picked out a big eel. Xiangyi decided to make a plate of eel for lunch. She also picked out two pounds of prawns to make braised prawns in oil and stir-fried green beans.
Xiangyi put the dishes on the stove to keep them warm after she finished cooking and saw that the person had not returned yet. The braised prawns and eels tasted better when they were hot.
I looked at my watch and it was already half past twelve, and he still hadn't come back, so I decided to prepare the ingredients for dinner first. Not long after I started, there was a knock on the gate and a familiar voice came from outside: "Wife, I'm back."
Xiangyi hurried to open the door and saw Jiang Yan pulling a whole cart of honeycomb coal.
Xiangyi couldn't help but exclaimed: "So many."
"Jiang Yan grinned and chuckled: "It's okay, this won't break, it can be used for a long time. Remember to remind me when it's almost finished, and I'll go get it."
"Okay, stop busying yourself. Wash your hands and have dinner. It's almost one o'clock." After saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen to serve the meal. Jiang Yan had a uncle smile on his face, and he couldn't help feeling that it was great to have a wife.
By the way, I secretly cursed myself for being an idiot for two years...
When Jiang Yan washed his face and hands and came to the dining table, Xiang Yi had already set the table and had scooped out two bowls of rice soup.
"Try it now. Is the seafood I made delicious?"
Jiang Yan cooperated very well and picked up a piece of eel and put it into his mouth. His eyes lit up immediately and his mouth was full of fragrance. The plump eel meat and the sauce blended perfectly together.
To put it bluntly, it’s too delicious!
Jiang Yan ate every bite of meat with a big mouthful of rice, it was so delicious. Xiangyi felt that watching Jiang Yan eat was quite appetizing. Now she finally understood why so many people like to watch food broadcasts, it really can whet the appetite.
"Wife, you try it too. This isn't fishy at all. I tried it once before and it was terrible. I haven't touched eel since then. But the one my wife made doesn't have any fishy smell at all. Instead, your mouth is filled with the rich aroma of fish and sauce."
Xiang Yi smiled at the positive response and handed him a shrimp. "How about trying this prawn?"
Seeing Jiang Yan about to eat the shrimp with the shell, Xiang Yi hurriedly stopped him: "What are you doing? Spit out the shrimp shell. Don't eat the shrimp shell, eat the meat inside."
Xiangyi was also shocked by Jiang Yan's way of eating shrimp. She asked in confusion, "Why do you eat it like this?"
"I seldom ate this kind of shrimp before. It was troublesome to peel the shell, so I just ate it directly. But the taste was very ordinary and hard, so I just ignored it when I saw it later." Jiang Yan said very honestly.
"But I like to eat it, so you have to eat with me." Shrimp is so delicious, why don't you eat it! !
Xiangyi peeled a shrimp and put it in his mouth for him to eat. He chewed it and suddenly found that it tasted surprisingly good. He nodded and affirmed Xiangyi's cooking skills: "Wife, you are amazing. You can make seafood so delicious in your hands. It's great!"
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Seeing that his wife seemed to particularly like eating this shrimp, Jiang Yan started to peel it and put the peeled shrimp into her bowl.
Xiangyi paused slightly. Finally, a man peeled shrimp for her. It tasted better than when she peeled it herself. She ate almost the whole plate of shrimp, and occasionally fed it to Jiang Yan.
After eating the prawns, Xiangyi was full, and the remaining eels and stir-fried beans were eaten by Jiang Yan.
After eating, he smacked his lips, feeling that it was so delicious. This expression made Xiangyi laugh.
After dinner, Jiang Yan volunteered to wash the dishes. He asked Xiangyi to go to sleep for a while while he went to work.
Xiangyi didn't go to sleep. The two of them divided the work, one cleaning up and the other washing up, and they quickly cleaned the kitchen.
Jiang Yan's eyes never left Xiang Yi. After the kitchen was cleaned up, he started kissing her before he even left the kitchen door. His kiss was deep and eager, their breathing entangled. He didn't let Xiang Yi go until she couldn't stand steadily.
"Wife, I'm leaving."
My breathing was unsteady, and after a moment's rest, I looked up and said to him, "Honey, you ride a bicycle to work. Don't waste it if you buy one. I won't be using it for the time being."
Jiang Yan nodded and kissed her red lips again before leaving.
After Jiang Yan left, Xiang Yi recovered and started to clean the pork lard she bought today. She needed to boil the pork lard first.
Clean and drain the water, cut the lard into thin slices, put it in a pot with cold water, and add some ginger slices to remove the fishy smell.
Put the oil in the pot with cold water so that it won’t splash when boiling, and the oil will be clear and transparent.
While the oil was boiling, Xiangyi washed the pork belly, cut it into pieces and set aside, planning to make braised pork in the evening.
An hour later, the oil residue was out of the pot. She thought of a way to eat the oil residue. It would taste absolutely delicious, so she did it as soon as she thought of it.
I plan to use lard residue to make buns.
She mixed the flour with water and started kneading the dough. It was a physical job. Suddenly, she thought of someone. If it was him, he should be very strong. He always pestered her for a long time, but he didn't seem tired after finishing the job. He still had plenty of strength.
As I was thinking about it, I stumbled upon something. Just then, there was a knock on the courtyard door and Qin's sister-in-law's voice came: "Xiang sister!"
Xiangyi went to open the door. She was not alone. Mrs. Qin had two children with her. The boy was named Qin Miao, who was eight years old, and the little girl was named Qin Baoer, who was five years old.
At this moment, both of them were holding a basket of vegetables in their hands and following Mrs. Qin very obediently.
"Hurry up and call Aunt Xiang."
"Aunt Xiang!"
"Aunt Xiang!"
"Hello, little friends. Come in and sit down. Auntie Xiang will get you something delicious."
After inviting the three to sit on the sofa, Xiangyi went to the cabinet in the room and grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies and fruit candies, and also took out the cakes she brought back from Beijing to treat Mrs. Qin and the two children.
