Chapter 41 Busy
Xu Dongni was very happy when she thought of new clothes.

Zhou Yinglan was reluctant to part with the candy at home, so she only allowed her to scoop out half a spoonful of it, then picked at it and kicked the person out.

Maybe Xu Dayong...

He was doted on by Mrs. Xu since he was a child. He couldn't lift his shoulders or lift his hands, so he was idle all day long.

When Zhou Yinglan first got married, she had the intention of living a good life with him.

but now……

If Xu Dayong didn't get the money back, she would wish he had died outside.

"Hey, who did I think it was? It turns out it's the child's father who's back!"

"If I hadn't treated myself like an uncle the moment I walked in, I wouldn't have recognized him!"

As soon as Zhou Yinglan went out, she acted strangely and insulted Xu Dayong.

Finally, she stretched out her hand and said, "Didn't you say you went to town to find work? It's been two months, where's the wages?"

"You are a bitch, you only know money, money, money..."

Xu Dayong complained a few words, turned around and took a big sip of sugar water.

Zhou Yinglan rolled her eyes to the sky.

Xu Dayong suddenly stood up and went to close the door quietly.

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Guess what I just saw?"

"What?" Zhou Yinglan was confused.

She and this damn ghost had not been seen for two months, so it was really hard to guess what he was thinking.

Fortunately, Xu Dayong didn't need her to guess.

He leaned close to her ear and said, "I saw a young man picking up two big buckets of stuff and going to Big Brother's old house."

"That place has been empty for a long time. Who is still there?"

When Zhou Yinglan heard this, she turned around and grabbed Xu Dayong's ear, "Look at you, you don't listen every time I ask you to pay more attention to your family!"

"It's been a long time since Xu Qiuqiu severed ties with our family and moved to that shabby house. You don't even know?"

Xu Dayong said, "Damn bitch, please be gentler. I'm busy outside. How can I have time to pay attention to these small things?"

"But then again, since Xu Qiuqiu lives there, does that man just give her something?"

"I don't know what..."

Xu Dayong had a greedy look on his face, and his mouse eyes were so narrow that he could hardly see them.

Zhou Yinglan was not interested.

She became angry when she remembered that people in the village had recently praised Xu Qiuqiu like an ancestor.

"What can I have? It's a foreign product! You don't know, your niece is so proud recently, even your mother asked her to be treated!"

"Yes, that Xu Qiuqiu has been collecting some seafood from the village recently."

Upon hearing this topic, Xu Dongni also curled her lips and agreed, "She also said it was [-] cents per pound. I don't know where she got the money. Is it stolen?"

"Xu Qiuqiu is actually rich?" Xu Dayong shouted, "Then why is she still living in that shabby house instead of living with her mother?"

If this girl lives with her mother, doesn’t the money belong to her?

Damn money, doesn’t he just want it?
Xu Dayong had a beautiful thought, but Zhou Yinglan glared at him, "Keep your voice down, and don't let your mother hear it. She can't listen to this the most lately. She curses heaven and earth when she hears it. I don't want to serve her!"

"Why?" Xu Dayong was only thinking about money at the moment.

After hearing this, he was very puzzled, "Xu Qiuqiu makes a fortune alone, how can my mother watch?"

"Hey, it's not because of..."

Zhou Yinglan talked about the recent events in a bamboo tube.

At the end of the sentence, she was both angry and happy, "I have to say that this damn girl Xu Qiuqiu is really heartless, but your mother didn't get it either."

"I went to the public security bureau and I feel more at ease. Recently, there have been a lot less curse words in my mouth."

Zhou Yinglan rarely took the opportunity to complain about her mother-in-law, but Zhou Dayong's eyes twinkled when he heard this.

He suddenly jumped up and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't be back tonight."

"Hey, why are you so anxious! Whether you love me back or not, I won't serve you anymore!"

Zhou Yinglan was so angry that she wanted to throw the bowl, but Xu Dongni only fiddled with her new clothes.

She muttered, "Mom, what is my dad doing? He doesn't want to trouble Xu Qiuqiu, does he?"

Saying that, Xu Dongni looked expectant.

Zhou Yinglan curled her lips, "Who knows!"

Xu Dayong's brain is worse than that of Mrs. Xu.If he went to find Xu Qiuqiu to trouble him, he might end up having trouble come to him.

On the other side, Jiang Xieyuan didn't know that someone saw him when he went out.

Early the next morning, he came to Xu Qiuqiu's house.

The sky is slightly bright now, probably because I have been teased a lot recently.

He looked left and right, always feeling that there was an inexplicable look around him.

"Brother Xiao Jiang..."

It wasn't until he heard Xu Xiaozhi's voice that he relaxed a little.

"Where is your sister?" Jiang Xieyuan asked warmly as he knelt down.

"My sister is still busy."

Xu Xiaozhi held the book in his hand and pointed inside casually.

Jiang Xieyuan turned his head and saw figures busy in the yard at a glance.

In fact, Xu Qiuqiu started busy after he left yesterday.

As Jiang Xieyuan said, drying dried seafood is not as simple as spreading it out to dry or putting it on a fire to dry.

If you want sun-dried seafood to retain as much of its texture and flavor as it did when it was fresh after soaking, the required techniques are very simple. One is blanching, the other is flavoring, and the third is drying in the shade.

This step seems simple, but when it is actually done, it is very tiring.

The first step is to blanch the water. There are a lot of things to pay attention to here.

It's not like cooking at home, just boil it in the pot and take it out.

The requirements for controlling the heat here are very strict.

If the blanching time is short, the fishy smell will be difficult to remove, and if the blanching time is long, the taste will inevitably be affected.

In addition to the right time, put the blanched dry food into cold water to quickly cool down, then spread it out in several large dustpans to drain.

Drain the water and start drying.

Xu Qiuqiu went to the backyard at midnight last night to check on the fish that had been drying for a long time during the day. It felt that the surface was not very moist anymore, and she felt a little relieved.

As long as the weather is good enough the next day and the sun shines for a half day, it's basically fine.

This fish cannot be spread out on wooden boards to dry, so one can only use one-meter-long bamboo sticks to pierce the two fins at the tail end of the fish.

With the fish's head down, string ten bamboo sticks on each stick, and then tie the bamboo sticks with ropes and hang them on the bamboo frame to dry in the sun.

Every half a day, remove the dried squid from the bamboo sticks and place them flat on a special drying device to continue drying.

When four or five layers are dry, reshape it. When it is [-] to [-]% dry, you need to turn it over and dry it several times while shaping it.

As long as you don't put any frost or powder on it, just dry it in the sun.

This was a big project. After working on it for a day and a night, Xu Qiuqiu was so tired that she could no longer see clearly.

But Jiang Xieyuan, who was waiting outside, was unusually excited.

Even if he was not specifically in charge of this area, he was extremely excited at the thought of cooperating with foreigners.

This is the country’s attempt to go abroad!

He tossed and turned almost all night, waiting at the door of Xu Qiuqiu's house before dawn.

She was still busy, but he couldn't get involved at all.

He could only fulfill his promise and teach Xu Xiaozhi how to read.

But the pinyin in preschool is too simple for him.

During the teaching process, he even thought about touching his face.

I don’t know if staying up late has any effect on the skin.

This is to meet foreigners, but we must not embarrass the country.

Thinking like this, Jiang Xieyuan was a little annoyed.

If I had known better, I shouldn't have stayed up late.

I don’t know if there are any dark circles under my eyes.

Thinking like this, Jiang Xieyuan subconsciously raised his head, but was startled by Xu Qiuqiu who walked up to him.

Yo ho!

Where did the female ghost come from?
