Chapter 37 Eight Zero Best Sister-in-Law (37)

   In fact, it was not in vain.

  Before she left, she bought several kinds of small seafood, both dried and pickled.

   Not to mention clearing out the inventory of the Li family, I also asked other families in Houhai Village to buy a lot.

   Like kelp and seaweed, they are very light when dried, and even Xu Yin can easily carry a thick stack in his hand.

  The second elder of the Li family was worried that she bought too much and would waste it if she couldn't finish it later.

  Xu Yin explained that not all of them were eaten by herself, and that most of them were going to be taken to Tongcheng to exchange for other things.

   They didn't say anything anymore, and she gave as much as she wanted.

   There are just so many things, how can the bicycle be loaded?

  The second boss originally wanted his son to borrow a scooter from the branch secretary's house to take Xu Yin back.

  Xu Yin hurriedly said no, and asked the Li family to borrow two large bamboo baskets and two small bamboo baskets. The bamboo baskets were tied together with thick hemp ropes and hung on the back seat.

   "Thank you, uncle and aunt, I will go back first, and I will come to see you when Tongcheng comes back."

After Houhai Village came out, taking advantage of no one around, she put two large bamboo baskets into the system warehouse, and put the mud snail jars in the bamboo baskets, and brought out two packs of dried kelp and shrimp skins, and then jingled Riding to Da'ao Village.

  Last night, I made up for the geographical environment of Tongcheng. It is basically dominated by plains, and there is a large lake in the suburbs. The nearby villagers make a living by raising lake sheep and lake ducks.

  Even if there are mountains on all sides, they are still small hills where tea is grown, so she plans to go to Da’ao Village to buy some mountain products, and after selling them, she will exchange for some Tongcheng’s lake mutton, lake duck and tea leaves.

   It doesn't matter if it can't be sold, I will leave it to my brother and sister-in-law to add another dish.

  Grandma Geng was very happy to see her coming, and she blamed her for coming so soon and bringing some paper bags.

  Xu Yin said it was some seafood, and it was delicious to drink soup in hot weather. She also said that she wanted to go to Tongcheng to visit her brother and sister-in-law in two days, and wanted to collect some mountain products to take with her.

  Grandma Geng took out the mountain goods that she had at home without saying a word, picked the best ones and stuffed them into the bamboo basket she brought.

  Xu Yin wanted to give money, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law firmly refused.

   "You just take these from our house, if it's not enough, I'll go to another house and ask."

  Li Axiang insisted on not accepting money, so Xu Yin had no choice but to give up, thinking about looking back to see if she could bring back more Hu sheep and ducks, and send them to her grandmother's family to taste.

   "You stay at home and chat with grandma for a while, I'll go and ask you what other houses have." Li Axiang took off her apron and asked, "Do you just want mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, or something else?"

   "All of them. Anyway, the total is so much money." Xu Yin gave her aunt five cards of great unity.

   "Okay, I have the count."

  Li Axiang moved very quickly. Before Xu Yin had a good chat with her grandma, she came back dragging two big cloth bags.

  A cloth bag contains dried bamboo shoots. There are two varieties, one is the dried bamboo shoots of big hairy bamboo shoots, and the other is dried stalagmites, which are thin and long and dried whole. Stewed meat with dried bamboo shoots is the most fragrant, and dried stalagmites in soup is a must.

   "Thirty catties of dried bamboo shoots, and fifty catties of small stalagmites. They are all freshly dried. You can rest assured of the freshness. Is it enough? I will go down and ask if it is not enough."

  Li Axiang just asked about people who live on the mountainside like hers, and there are many other families down the mountainside.

   "Enough is enough."

  The other bag is full of fungi, mostly shiitake mushrooms and fungus. There are only a few sporadic russula and bamboo fungus, but the quality is very good. These are all individually packed.

  The rest are miscellaneous bacteria, with many types and few numbers, and they were not deliberately separated when drying. But fried meat with mixed bacteria or soup is particularly fresh.

  In addition to these, the uncle who just came down from the mountain gave her a basket of ripe raspberries, which are bright red and taste sweet and refreshing.

  With the help of her uncle, Xu Yin transported two bags of treasures down the mountain and put them on the back seat of the bicycle.

  Thanks to the little eMule, if this is a traditional bicycle, she probably can't even push it.

   On the way home, still taking advantage of no one around, he threw two large bags of mountain goods into the system warehouse, leaving only two baskets of dried seafood and fresh raspberries outside.

  When we got home, Mother Xu had already started making lunch.

   Seeing her come back with two baskets of dried goods with a strong seafood smell, she pinched her nose and looked disgusted:

   "What's so delicious about this! Isn't it enough for you to take the things at home to Tongcheng? You still spend money to buy them. If you don't say you're prodigal for a few days, your hands will itch again..."

Xu Yin took it out and showed her: "It's all freshly dried recently, isn't it big? I specially picked them out for you and my father to eat. When it's hot, cook a soup with dried radish and clams, or dried shrimp and seaweed soup." , it’s fresh! It’s also an appetizer for dinner.”

  Xu's mother is not uncommon: "Can there be delicious meat?"

   "..."

  Comrade Geng Jinhua, you have committed a foul!

  Can the two be compared?

   Let’s talk about it, cooking at noon, Xu’s mother cooked a clam meat and radish soup according to the daughter’s request, and fried a razor clam with chili.

  Don’t say it, it’s really like the girl said that it’s both an appetizer and a meal.

  The next day, Xu Yin came back from the morning market to buy a spare rib.

  Xu's mother disliked it at first: "What's delicious about bones. If you want to eat, cut some meat."

  Xu Yin said: "This is delicious."

  She stewed a pork rib soup with seaweed, and mixed it with hot and sour seaweed shreds.

  The fragrant but not greasy pork ribs seaweed soup and the appetizing and refreshing hot and sour seaweed shreds made Dad Xu appetite.

   From this point of view, it is not that this food is not delicious, but that it was not eaten before.

   Gradually, Xu's mother no longer disliked the seafood sent by her in-laws as before.

  …

  Three days later, Xu Yin got off at Tongcheng Railway Station.

  Xu Zhinian came to pick her up in a jeep, but he was still busy, so he sent her to the family home and then returned to work.

  Sister-in-law Xu has been busy for several days, tidying up the room, scrubbing the mats, getting up early this morning to buy some meat, deep-fried meatballs, fried egg dumplings, and boiled duck soup with dried bamboo shoots.

  As soon as Xu Yin arrived, he first served her a bowl of duck soup.

   "I'll make you some fresh noodles later."

   "Thank you sister-in-law."

   "Thank you! You like to eat, I cook for you every day. Buying meat here is more convenient than ours, and the price is also fair. I have been looking forward to your coming." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

  Since joining the army, the man has entrusted her with his salary and allowances. Except for sending fifty yuan to his hometown every month, she will take care of the food and clothing for the family of four.

  There is not much money, but the feeling of holding financial power is not generally good.

  In addition, she can make clothes, and occasionally helps the family members in the building make some clothes to supplement some pocket money, so life is quite enjoyable.

  Speaking of which, this is all thanks to my sister-in-law. Whether it is to give birth to a second child smoothly, or to make clothes to make money, it all depends on my sister-in-law.

  Especially when she gave birth to her second baby, the doctors and nurses told her that with her pregnancy condition at that time, there was a risk of dystocia.

  If she hadn’t been admitted to the hospital in advance and decided to take a caesarean section, she must have found a midwife at home.

  It's okay if the birth goes well, but if it doesn't go well, the midwife will be fine. Halfway through the birth and then sent to the hospital, if the baby is not fully preserved, it will be difficult to give birth, and maybe even a dead body and two lives.

   Also, she was able to bring her two children to the army thanks to her sister-in-law. Otherwise, with her mother-in-law's personality, she would never be allowed to leave her hometown.

  Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu felt more and more that her sister-in-law was the lucky star in her life, so she made up her mind to entertain her well.
