When Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi came over, the three of them went back together. There was thick snow on the road and they couldn't drive the tractor. They all came on foot. When they walked on the road, their feet were slippery. Just be extra careful.
"Xiaochan, what did you buy?" Xiao Tiantian asked.
"I bought some food, and also bought shrimps and fish. I will make shrimps for everyone to eat at noon in a few days." Xia Chan said with a smile. She misses the taste of fresh and sweet shrimps now.
In the 21st century, many large supermarkets also sell fresh seafood, but the price is too expensive. She is only willing to buy shrimps or occasionally discounted snails. She is really reluctant to part with other things, even in In her eyes, the most common conches cost dozens of yuan per pound!
After returning home, Xia Chan immediately brought Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi into the small courtyard, and she entered her own space, picked up her mobile phone and started searching for seafood. She wanted to see if she could find cheap seafood.
Unexpectedly, there are several kinds of cheap seafood. Raw oysters and mussels cost more than three yuan per catty, and frozen snails only cost more than ten yuan per catty.
So Xia Chan quickly placed an order for one hundred kilograms of each of these things, then took out ten kilograms of each type, and then took these things into the small courtyard.
Oysters and mussels are difficult to handle. One needs to be pried open, and the other needs to take out the meat. Xia Chan handed over the processing method to a few men, and then let them handle it, while she went to set up the grill. When she got up, she wanted to eat roasted garlic oysters, and she thought they tasted better if they were steamed directly.
After they had finished processing the oysters, Xia Chan was almost ready. She placed the washed oysters one by one on the wire mesh, then used a spoon to spread the seasoning on each oyster, adding two spoons to each oyster. The seasonings for children are not added, only some soy sauce and minced garlic are added.
After that, they lit a fire and started roasting. With Zhou Qizhi watching, Xia Chan went to the kitchen to make mussels and snails. The ten kilograms of mussels peeled out a large pot full of meat. Today, everyone can enjoy it. Enjoyed the meal.
Children cannot eat food with heavy seasonings, so every time it is cooked, the portion for the children is scooped out first, and then the seasonings are added.
Xia Chan did not cook the seafood she bought at the market today because there was already enough seafood at noon today. She will save what she bought today and eat it slowly. After all, the winter is long and there are still several months ahead, so what’s the point? There is not enough to eat.
The reason why the oysters Xia Chan bought were so cheap was because they were small. Large oysters were not priced at this price at all, so there were really many oysters weighing ten pounds.
After the oysters were roasted, Xia Chan put them on a plate without much seasoning and brought them to the table for the children to eat.
Except for the newborn Jin Shishi, who couldn't eat it, the rest of the children could eat it. When it was no longer so hot, Xia Chan asked them to use chopsticks, and the adults also started eating.
"How do you feel?" Xia Chan prefers to eat oysters. She often buys several kilograms of oysters and uses a rice cooker to steam garlic oysters and spicy oysters to eat herself.
Because I was eating it by myself, I didn’t have to be too particular about it, so I just steamed it in a rice cooker. It only takes a few minutes to steam it, which is very convenient.
"It's delicious." Everyone nodded after eating. They didn't expect seafood to be eaten like this. If it weren't for Xia Chan, they had no idea that seafood was eaten like this.
If others give it to them for free, they have to waste it.
After eating the grilled oysters, everyone went to eat. Mussels are made from the meat taken out, so they can be eaten. There is no inedible part. The meat of flower snails is not like the meat of conches shrinking inside, so it tastes very delicious. It’s convenient, everyone sits in a circle and is satisfied with the meal. Su Yu takes a break alone. The day before she takes a break, everyone comes out of the small courtyard. Although they cannot take her into the small courtyard, Xia Chan will not treat her badly.
She was given hot spring water to eat and drink, and whatever they ate in the courtyard would be given to her.
Everyone does not stay in the small courtyard every day, because they are afraid that someone will come up the mountain to find them, but a few men have to work and come out every day.
The Yong'an production team's tradition of going into the mountains to hunt every year has not been lost, but Xia Chan and her family are not short of meat now, so they don't need to share the meat among everyone, so they didn't sign up again.
Now that the small courtyard belongs to Xia Chan, the ginseng has been dug long ago. Xia Chan raises a lot of livestock in her small courtyard, so there is no need for them to go into the mountains.
Occasionally, they would kill a few large livestock, keep the parts they needed, and give the rest to the meat stalls. Their family still ate meat very frequently.
Su Yu can also feel the changes in her body. She is three years older than Jin Pengfei, will be thirty-five soon, and has given birth to two children, but she does not look tired at all. Doctors and nurses who were younger and more beautiful than her asked her how she took care of herself.
It is true that Su Yu did not take care of herself, so she told everyone that she did not need to take care of the child. The child stayed with his entrepreneurial father in the countryside. She did not have to worry about it. Her skin was naturally good and she looked young.
Everyone envies Su Yu, who can concentrate on her work without having to take care of her children. Unlike them, who have to work and take care of their children at the same time. They are in a hurry every day and have endless things to worry about. Her mother-in-law and husband are just like decorations. Just occasionally look at the child, and if the child is fine, they will take credit for their family's work. If something goes wrong, they will accuse the mother of not knowing how to take care of the child. But they don't take care of the child, and they only pick on other people's problems.
Amelia Su couldn't say anything about the things everyone complained about. She couldn't let everyone change their husbands, right? Many people just complain casually and will not change their husbands. At this time, everyone thinks that divorce is shameful and shameful.
Moreover, they are a big family, and nothing she says is right. If she really persuades them to divorce, her husband will probably come and kill her.
Fortunately, I mustered up the courage to pursue Jin Pengfei back then, otherwise how could I have such an easy life now?
But she also had to thank her ex-husband for being a scumbag who faked his death and went out to live with others. If he had been at home and not 'died' again, she would not have had any interaction with Jin Pengfei even if she met him.
If she hadn't met Jin Pengfei, and if she had continued to live with her ex-husband, she might have been like them, having to work, take care of children, and take on all the housework, and then her husband's family would just stand by and wait for her to take care of her. .
Now her two children are older. Jin Jingjing was born in February and will be four years old during the Chinese New Year. Jin Miaomiao is also one and a half years old. Both children are well taken care of at home and there is no need for them at all. What does she have to worry about? She just needs to concentrate on her work.
So the current arrangement is really the best arrangement for her.
On this day, Xia Chan and the others took their children to skate on a small stream. They covered each child tightly so that even if they really fell, they couldn't get bumped.
Except for Zhou Zhuo, who is over two years old, and Jin Miaomiao, who is less than two years old, the remaining three older children are having a great time playing on the solid ice. (End of chapter)
