Back then, a bowl of tender and smooth rice rolls with a rich sauce was the motivation for her to get up early and go to the kindergarten to face Xiong Bao.
Although the rice rolls eaten in state-run restaurants today have simple ingredients, they do not have the fancy fillings and textures of later generations. They are just simple rice milk, eggs, minced pork, and taro. The prepared rice rolls are topped with a fragrant and delicious secret sauce. The skin of the paste is moderately thick, and the sauce is slightly viscous, making it very tempting to eat.
The minced pork sandwiched in the rice rolls is very sweet and chewy, and the taro shreds are a little more glutinous, and the flavor is even better after absorbing the sauce.
I can't say any other compliments, but I only know that the rice rolls made from this simple ingredient are just right.
Perhaps marrying a state chef is the right choice in this era.
Qin Rou added a small spoonful of chili sauce to the rice rolls, and found that the secret chili sauce was more in line with her liking. Although the chili sauce looked bright red, it was actually not spicy at all, and a bit sweet.
She likes this mildly spicy and slightly sweet spicy chili sauce.
Qin Rou was satisfied with the meal, and the two little guys next to him also ate a stack of rice rolls, but for Lu Yan, a stack of rice rolls was really not enough to fit between teeth. When Qin Rou was eating rice rolls, he I drank two more bowls of seafood porridge, plus a basket of steamed buns.
Seeing Qin Rou adding chili sauce to the plate, Lu Yan guessed in his heart that the chili sauce was not spicy enough.
Let her try Lao Wang's chili sauce later.
The boat will leave in the evening of the day after tomorrow. They can stay in Guangcheng for a period of time. This is also Qin Rou's deliberate request. There is another option to go to Qiongzhou Island. It only takes four or five hours to go to Qiongzhou Island by boat.
And Qin Rou wants to stay in Guangcheng for two days, so... If you want to float on the sea for a day, let's do it for a day.
Qin Rou once studied in university here, and the city in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar to her. Lu Yan bought a map of Guangcheng and said that she would take her and her two children around.
"If you need to buy anything, buy it here. I'll ask someone to send it to the pier. When I get to the island later, I can't buy some things, and there are not so many types."
Qin Rou nodded. What she wanted to buy most was a camera, but of course she couldn't buy it with her savings of one or two hundred dollars. If she wanted to buy it, she needed to use Lu Yan's money.
What Lu Yan gave her that day, in addition to scattered big unity, and cloth tickets and industrial tickets, and a passbook of 6,000 yuan.
Comparing people to people is really annoying. Compared with her, Lu Yan has saved a lot of money over the years.
He is the youngest in the family, his parents, brothers and sisters all work and all receive wages, so his family basically has no burden, no need to send money home, all wage subsidies are taken by himself, not to mention that he himself has no wife and children , Food and living in the army, living expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are basically free.
For him, the biggest expense throughout the year is probably to buy some gifts for parents, relatives and friends during the holidays.
In addition to their salaries, their navy usually also has subsidies for sailing, islands, frontiers, etc. Although Qin Rou doesn't know the exact amount, she knows that the subsidies for going to sea in the future will be calculated based on hourly wages, and the conditions are tough now. Shouldn't be too little.
Therefore, his monthly salary and allowance should not be less than 150, and it is very likely to reach 200, which is enough to support a family of four.
— He really is the golden turtle son-in-law of this era.
So he was stupid and gave her all the money, but for him, without money, it didn't have much impact, and money was bearish.
Now that Qin Rou has so much money, she really wants to buy a camera, but it's only a matter of minutes, but if she really uses Lu Yan's money, Qin Rou feels embarrassed.
Although Lu Yan gave her the money, she can't spend it recklessly, not to mention spending other people's money, it always feels weird, Qin Rou can't spend Lu Yan's money with peace of mind for the time being.
If you really want to spend his money, you have to ask him in advance. The two of them agreed to live together as a partner, and they should spend the money on daily necessities. And she wanted to buy a camera from the very beginning. A woman who can live.
Would a macho man like Lu Yan in the 1970s dislike her behavior
Qin Rou: "..."
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Rou suddenly realized that, as a wife, it's not good for your husband to take the initiative to hand over your salary. After all, it's still his money, and he can cancel your housekeeping rights at any time.
In the future, you have to ask him about the expenses, and you don't have the freedom to spend. Maybe you have been busy for a long time, and you are serious about being a housekeeper, and people will complain about wasting money.
No wonder it is said that marriage is the tomb of love, and the daily necessities after marriage are trivial matters.
Before marriage, you are willing to spend all kinds of money and gifts to chase your girlfriend. After marriage, you are not in charge of the family and don’t know how expensive it is, so I hate you for spending money.
It's good that people have emotional foundation, not to mention that the two of them have no emotional foundation.
Thinking of the passbook, Qin Rou felt that it was a hot potato and wanted to return the hot potato to him. He should manage the money himself.
When she arrived on Qiongzhou Island, she had to find a job as soon as possible, and then find a way to make more money. It would be most comfortable to earn money to support herself.
She'd better run another vegetable garden, and plant a few fruit trees in front of the house, jackfruit and longan must be planted, and a few mango trees to green the road.
... It is always beautiful in imagination, but the premise is that it can be planted. In fact, Qin Rou has never really planted things in the ground before. She has only studied balcony planting in depth. The biggest achievement is that she has spent thousands of dollars in painstaking efforts. A pot of big red strawberries was planted.
Qin Rou was short of building a small greenhouse on the balcony, and even DIYed drip irrigation, studying temperature, moisture and nutrition every day.
As kindergarten teachers, they are so serious and practical.
She picked the big strawberries in the flowerpot, and she felt sick after eating strawberries. Although the strawberries she planted were big and red, they were not very sweet, and they were barely delicious.
Finally... After careful calculation, compared with the investment and the harvest, the income is beyond the means. It can only be said that the fun of planting is satisfied, and it can be taken to the kindergarten to let the children "wow" and praise the big and red strawberries planted by Mr. Qin!
This damned desire to win.
After that, I took all the children in the garden to the organic strawberry shed to experience strawberry picking activities. In the end, I ate too many strawberries, and I felt psychological shadow when I saw strawberries for a period of time.
Because the kindergarten will carry out planting experience activities for children, learning to grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables belongs to the relevant knowledge that their teachers need to know. She has read many books on planting. Of course, the main thing is that theory is more important than practice.
After all, the purpose of teaching is only to bring children to experience planting, and it is impossible to live on the harvest like the farmer uncle.
In the past, she could rely on rent collection to support herself, and she could do things with money, and experience planting as much as she wanted, but now that she has no money, she really has to grow beans by herself in the future, and eat melons.
It’s melancholic to think so, and a little bit excited. If you gain something, you will lose it. In the future, every inch of land will be expensive. Who can make room for you to plant fruit trees and vegetable gardens
Deciding to go to Qiongzhou Island with Lu Yan, Qin Rou had also thought about her future plans, and now that the economy is tight, it's okay, anyway, Qin Rou really doesn't have any business acumen, and she can't do business in the black market to make money, after all, she used to be good or bad I also served in the army, and it is better not to do anything that is illegal and criminal at this time.
In the future, I can call my sister and brother-in-law first. After seven or eight years, I may be able to contract the land to build a mango plantation. I can also build a few sea-view houses, build a sea-view or hot spring hotel, set up a wedding photography center, and then go to Guangzhou and Hebei. Buy a few sets of commercial housing in Shencheng or build a small building by yourself...
Well, these are all too far away.
It's better to live for now.
— She wants to buy a camera.
At this time, the sea view is not worth much, and it is not as valuable as the fish, shrimp and shellfish in the sea. Of course, these are not worth much. Although life is hard, people on the beach can eat abalone king shrimp with tears.
In the 1970s, no one came to the beach for vacation. Coconut Grove Beach, which had no commercial development, must be very beautiful. Ten Mile Silver Beach, Ten Mile Silver Beach, I am really sorry for not taking pictures.
What's more, she still has a little subtle thought in her heart. She wants Lu Yan's photos. Now that she has a black and white camera, she will take black and white photos, and in the future, she will take color photos with a color camera.
Qin Rou plucked up her courage, and still opened her mouth to discuss with Lu Yan: "Lu Yan, I want to buy a camera."
"You've been shy for a long time, you can buy it if you want, why are you so petty?"
After Lu Yan said these words, she regretted a little, wondering if she had a bad tone just now.
When he saw Qin Rou's hesitant expression just now, he thought she was worried about something, which made him also worried, thinking that she was unwilling to go to Qiongzhou Island with him, who knew that she just wanted to buy a camera.
-That's it
So he couldn't help but speak out.
But, Lu Yan, silence is golden.
Qin Rou: "..."
? ? ? Am I petty? You'll know what a prodigal bitch is when I spend my money.
It's your money, Mr. Lu!
"Then I bought it?"
Lu Yan touched his nose, coughed, and said concisely: "Buy it."
Afraid that Qin Rou would not dare to start buying, he added a few more words: "When you get to the island, the transportation to and from the island will be troublesome, and there are some things you can't buy even if you want."
"If you think you need it, buy it all, don't save money."
"I bought it at the moment and I can send it to the pier. I asked someone to carry it on the boat, and there will be a truck to transport it back to the island. If you wait later, it may not be so convenient. If you want to buy it, buy it quickly." Lu Yan chose to buy it in Guangcheng. Boarding the boat at the pier to go to Qiongzhou Island, isn't it intended for Qin Rou to buy all the things that need to be bought in the big city of Guangcheng.
You can't go to the island to live naked.
In the past, he was a bachelor and didn't need to bring anything, but now he is married and brings his wife, isn't it different, he can't go empty-handed.
Lu Yan didn't know what Qin Rou really needed, so of course he gave her the money and let her choose.
"Then I can buy whatever I want?"
"Buy it, don't be too pushy, and don't just ask me when you buy something." I can't stand it.
Qin Rou: "..."
She suddenly found that Lu Yan's tone of voice seemed to have changed a bit, it was different from the original calm, down-to-earth and concise army officer, just now he half-sarcastically said "too cowardly", "so petty?" "I've seen this stuff too ?”… Why does it sound so arrogant and even a little underwhelming
She couldn't help but want to fight back.
OK! Buy, that's what he said! !
Qin Rou is not being hypocritical at this time, she understands that Lu Yan is right, since she is going to live on the island, there is really no need to be coy and hypocritical at this time, it is only serious to buy all the things she needs as soon as possible.
There is a house allocated over there, and it is impossible for you to live with all the appliances in your bag. Daily necessities must be prepared in advance.
After changing her thinking, the current Qin Rou threw her two babies to Lu Yan, and started to consume retaliatory consumption herself. It was not that she thought about her future life and felt that she had to buy all kinds of things.
Not to mention the camera, other pots, pans, bedding and blankets should also be prepared first? There are also sauces such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, star anise, pepper, and peppercorns. She also thought of buying Liji oil-consuming oil that is unique to Guangdong Province at this time. She also wants to buy a few small casserole here. Rice, make soup later.
She took a little effort to buy late rice and thin long rice, and accidentally got some lychee firewood. She even asked the chef of the state-run restaurant to exchange some sausage and chili sauce in private.
... Anyway, I want everything I can think of.
Lu Yan carried the two children, and saw that she bought a bunch of things, including pots, but forgot to buy a rolling pin.
So he helped to buy a wooden rolling pin. After buying it, he thought that a beautiful woman like his wife might like a beautiful rolling pin, so he bought two jade rolling pins.
