Chapter 202 Walking Around
"Wow, that's amazing! Nothing happened."
"That's right, when Jia Zhangshi was carried back, her head was covered in white cloth, and her arms were also covered in white cloth."
He looked utterly hopeless; if it weren't for his eyes moving around, I would have thought he was dead.
Well, these two beasts actually managed to get into a fight at the hospital. Sha Zhu was overjoyed.
After they had had enough fun, a few people stayed to play in the yard. Sha Zhu carried a basin of fish to the kitchen, sliced the fish into thin slices, marinated them, and used the fish bones and head to make soup.
Take out some cleaned purslane wild vegetables from the space.
Tonight's dinner plan includes sauerkraut fish, steamed rice, and some wild vegetable pancakes.
Recently, some of the older women in the alley have been carrying vegetable baskets to dig for wild vegetables, including purslane.
Purslane is known as the "longevity vegetable," a name derived from old Beijing folklore, which holds that eating purslane on the summer solstice can bring health and longevity.
Sha Zhu, on the other hand, thought that purslane pancakes were especially delicious and nutritious.
Ever since trying it once, Rainwater has especially loved this delicious pancake.
Even when made with a small amount of wheat flour and a large amount of corn flour, and topped with purslane, the rainwater still finds it delicious.
The key is to remove the astringency and some of the oxalic acid from purslane, and then add special spices for flavoring.
Of course, they'd also be delicious made into pancakes, but with six or seven kids in the yard, including Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian, making pancakes would never be enough.
Moreover, it's wasteful of oil and time, so it's better to just make them into pancakes. The little girls playing in the rain can each have two pancakes before their parents arrive.
Sure enough, after Sha Zhu finished baking the first wild vegetable pancake, he cut it open and gave two pieces to each of the children playing in the yard to taste. Then the children's parents came over to take them home for dinner.
"Zhu Zi, your wild vegetable pancakes smell so good!" Aunt Hu smelled the aroma, pulled her little daughter, and tried to snatch the pancake wrapped in oil paper from her daughter's hand and give it back to Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu quickly stopped Aunt Hu, "It's nothing good, just cornmeal and wild vegetable pancakes, let the children eat them."
Grandma Guo, holding her granddaughter's hand, said to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi, your Uncle Guo said you need to attend the hospital-wide meeting tomorrow night. Remember to come over after dinner tomorrow night."
"A hospital-wide meeting, Grandma Guo, do you know what's going on?" Sha Zhu asked curiously.
It's been so long since I've attended a college-wide meeting; Sha Zhu has almost forgotten that such a meeting even exists.
Even though No. 136 had held two meetings, they were only about trivial matters. Sha Zhu found out about them afterward but didn't take them seriously, and Grandpa Guo hadn't informed him either.
Why do we have to have another meeting?!
Grandma Guo shook her head. "Your Uncle Guo didn't say anything either. He just asked me to tell you when I came over."
"Okay, I understand." After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Aunt Hu.
"Aunt Hu, you're not working at the restaurant today? You're still working at this hour, aren't you?"
"No, my daughter-in-law has been working all day. Zhuzi, you don't need to come out. You should go back to the kitchen and get back to your work."
After seeing the older women off, Sha Zhu returned to the kitchen to continue his work.
Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian ate the wild vegetable pancakes, wolfing them down. After finishing theirs, they ran to the kitchen, grabbed the remaining pancakes from the cutting board, and continued eating without any restraint.
Sha Zhu doesn't care. Wait until the sauerkraut fish is served, then let's see how you two eat.
Rainwater, that little devil, is much smarter. It ate one piece and then stopped, waiting for something even better.
In the main room, the dining table sits in the center of a large bowl of sauerkraut fish, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Yu Shui and Li Jianguo ate rice and fish slices with relish, while Sha Zhu and Liu Qian ate wild vegetable pancakes with gusto.
Surprisingly, Sister Liu Qian, who doesn't eat rice, also likes to eat wild vegetable pancakes.
Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian looked as if their parents had died; their faces were grim, and they ate very slowly.
When the aroma of pickled fish wafted out, the two of them regretted it a little; they had eaten too many wild vegetable pancakes.
These real cornbreads are not only substantial and filling, but they also digest slowly in a short time.
Sha Zhu didn't stop the two of them, so now they were a bit overwhelmed. Looking at the big bowl of pickled fish in front of them, the two of them wanted to cry but had no tears.
Sha Zhu grabbed a spoon and scooped a spoonful of fish into each of their bowls, telling them to eat slowly.
Seeing that the two couldn't eat anymore, Yu Shui laughed out loud like a goose. The two geese that were circling the corner of the yard responded to Yu Shui's voice and started quacking.
This is so timely, Sha Zhu almost spat it out.
Sha Zhu brought the pickled vegetable shreds on the table to the two of them.
"Eat some pickled vegetables, they're easy to digest!"
The two of them struggled to finish the fish in their bowls, glanced at the sky, and quickly said goodbye, as they were too full to continue.
As he left, Xu Damao was a little unwilling, so he casually took two wild vegetable pancakes from the dining table.
Liu Guangtian wasn't as shameless as Xu Damao. He glanced at the wild vegetable pancakes on the table.
Looking at Xu Damao's back again, she felt a little reluctant to leave, but still silently stood up to follow him.
Seeing this, Sha Zhu found it somewhat amusing. He was already full but still wanted to eat. He took two pieces of bread, handed them to Liu Guangtian, and saw the two of them out of the house.
On the dimly lit street, after exiting the alley, Xu Damao saw Liu Guangtian following him, who also had two wild vegetable pancakes in his hand, and his eyes lit up.
"Guangtian, are the wild vegetable pancakes delicious?!"
Seeing Xu Damao staring intently at the pancake in his hand, Liu Guangtian quickly hid his hand behind his back and took a few steps back.
"I won't give it to you even if it's not tasty!"
"You stingy little thing, I don't care about yours." Xu Damao said, then let out a long sigh.
"What a loss! What a huge loss! We should have eaten the fish first, and then packed up the wild vegetable pancakes to take home!"
......
"Zhu Zi, how did you make these wild vegetable pancakes? Teach me!" At the dining table, Sister Liu Qian asked Sha Zhu curiously.
Sha Zhu looked at Li Jianguo and said, "The method was given to Brother Li a long time ago."
"Really?" Li Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that a seasoning recipe?"
"Yes, it's the seasoning recipe!"
Li Jianguo rubbed his head. "I don't know where I threw it!"
"You've been tinkering with the radio lately, where did I put the recipe? I'll look for it when I get back!"
"Alright, if you can't find it, I'll copy it for you again. How's the radio research going?" Sha Zhu asked.
Li Jianguo glanced at Liu Qian beside him and said, "What else can I do? I wanted to buy two old ones to study, but my wife won't give me the money! I've already bought all the tools!"
"Zhu Zi, your brother Li said it's possible to make money, is it true?" Liu Qian looked at Sha Zhu.
"Your brother Li asked me for fifty right off the bat. I'm worried it might not be safe. I still owe you money! We didn't even have a wedding, and we're in huge debts!"
Sha Zhu advised, "Why bother with a wedding? Didn't your two families already have a meal together? For the sake of saving face, you public officials are going to such lengths. Aren't you afraid of being investigated?"
"It's because her family doesn't understand!" Li Jianguo interjected.
Liu Qian didn't say anything. The neighborhood office was very strict with internal investigations, and if she told her family, they would only make sarcastic remarks.
"Give your parents more money and some gifts, and everything will be fine. It's all about money!"
Sister Liu Qian, I'll back you up. This was originally my business; it was definitely going to make money. I just didn't want the hassle, so I gave it to Brother Li.
I've investigated the market, and those books were given to Brother Li by me.
If you lose money, you don't have to pay back what you owe me. If you make money, hehe, you have to give me a radio as interest.
Liu Qian was taken aback; it was several hundred yuan, and she didn't have to pay it back.
Although the two of them could pay off the debt within a year with their salaries, it was impossible to go without food or drink after receiving their salaries. Liu Qian thought it would be good if they could pay off the debt in two or three years.
In Sha Zhu's eyes, three hundred yuan was nothing, so he naturally didn't care about it!
"Brother, give me two cents!" Yu Shui blinked her big eyes at Sha Zhu.
"What do you need money for! We have plenty of food and drink at home!"
