Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 132: Fish Maw Stewed in Chicken Soup

Coral made a joke and the fisherman's wife hit her.

Tang Qiyue and Zheng Hongxia also joined in the joke, which calmed the fisherman's mood a lot.

It was not convenient for them to go out and eat with others in the yard. Tang Qiyue and Zheng Hongxia originally planned to leave after delivering the food, but were stopped by Dashan's mother.

"We are guests here, so how can we leave without eating the wedding banquet? You can stay in the house and eat with the fisherwoman. Even if there are no delicious dishes to treat you, please don't be disgusted!"

Dashan's mother and her daughters brought the seafood and set the table directly in the house. Fearing that they would feel uncomfortable, she asked her daughters to watch at the door and not allow anyone to enter the house to disturb them.

When Zheng Hongxia saw the table full of seafood, she knew it would be difficult to leave without eating, so she simply asked Tang Qiyue, Shanhu and Yu Niang to sit down and eat.

The fisherwoman was the hostess, so naturally she couldn't let others serve her. She was also experienced, so she quickly reacted and asked her sister-in-law to join her for dinner.

Dashan Niang was in a good mood when she saw that the fisherman's wife was willing to take her little girl with her. She knew that the fisherman's wife had agreed to take her little girl to the sea.

Life is not easy for anyone. If the female divers go into the sea without someone to lead them, the mortality rate is still very high.

Dashan Niang accepted Yu Niang not only because she wanted to find a wife for her son, but also because she was a diver and wanted her to help take care of her little girl.

The seafood on the table was obviously different from the ones outside, and was obviously better. It was not poured directly on the table, but was served in small baskets. Two dishes were even served in large coarse ceramic bowls.

The fisherman's sister-in-law is called Haimei. The little girl is only twelve years old, but she has gone out to sea with the adults.

She saw that Tang Qiyue and Zheng Hongxia didn't know what was in the bowl, and seeing that the fisherman didn't notice, she took the initiative to speak.

"My two sisters, this is stewed fish maw, made with old hen soup, it's very nourishing!"

Hearing Hai Mei's words, the fisherwoman nodded and said, "This fish maw is a good thing. It used to be a tribute!"

Zheng Hongxia had really never eaten it. Even though she had been married to Political Commissar Wu for many years and her family conditions were not bad, her parents were also from an ordinary family. After she got married, she suffered a lot and had few good things to eat.

Tang Qiyue had eaten it before. When Old Lady Tang was still alive, Tang Qiyue was by her side and ate this thing a lot.

However, the Tang family has a special chef to prepare these ingredients, so the taste will definitely be more delicious. Although the ingredients of this bowl are not bad, the cooking method is far worse.

But the good quality of the ingredients makes up for the shortcomings in processing.

Everyone drank a bowl and ate the fish maw in it, and it tasted really good.

After they started eating, the little girl Haimei livened up the atmosphere and the table became quite lively.

Zheng Hongxia and Tang Qiyue did not stay long. After eating, they rejected Dashan Niang's enthusiastic invitation and left the fishing village.

On the way back, Zheng Hongxia was still sighing: "If I were in my hometown, I would definitely be amazed when I saw that table of seafood!"

Tang Qiyue was amused: "Sister Zheng, this is a fishing village, close to the sea, and the last thing we lack is seafood. If they see the pasta and meat dishes we eat over there, they will also be amazed!"

Zheng Hongxia laughed out loud.

She knew what Tang Qiyue said made sense.

Live by the sea, eat by the sea.

"But I heard from Doctor Qin that eating seafood every day is not good for the body. I see many people in the fishing village are very thin. How can they be thin if they can eat their fill?"

Zheng Hongxia didn’t know what was going on, but Tang Qiyue knew it very well.

She scraped the fat off the seafood. How can a person gain weight without fat? "No wonder the uncle in the cafeteria kept saying that we must buy more pork, saying that the soldiers can't eat seafood every meal, otherwise they will collapse before they are trained. So this is what he meant!"

Zheng Hongxia sighed: "I thought we would have no shortage of food after coming here, but it turns out that eating only seafood is not enough!"

When Tang Qiyue told Zheng Hongxia about growing vegetables, Zheng Hongxia slapped her thigh and said, "How could I forget about this? I heard from Hongjuan that the vegetable seedlings you planted are growing very well. You have to give me some when you grow them!"

How could Tang Qiyue not agree?

The eggplant and pepper seedlings in the yard have begun to bloom, and she can give some to her.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hongxia was no longer in a hurry to go home. She followed Tang Qiyue directly to her yard, hoping to get settled the sooner she could.

However, when Zheng Hongxia saw Tang Qiyue’s courtyard, her eyes widened with envy.

"You don't just have peppers and eggplants here? These cucumbers and beans have already climbed onto the racks. They'll be able to bear fruit in half a month at most, right?"

Zheng Hongxia was not a stranger. She walked around Tang Qiyue's courtyard. The more she looked, the more curious she became. If she had not been rational, she would have wanted to rob the courtyard.

It just so happened that Xu Qiuju from next door was also tidying up the vegetable garden in the yard. Her family benefited from Tang Qiuyue's family. After the tornado, Tang Qiuyue gave her a lot of vegetable seedlings. Now they have recovered and are growing particularly well.

"Sister-in-law, I told you not to come here often. Are you jealous now?"

Xu Qiuju stood beside the fence and joked happily with Zheng Hongxia.

Zheng Hongxia was not angry, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I am so envious. From now on, I will definitely come around to take a look every day!"

Tang Qiyue shook her head helplessly: "These fruits haven't borne fruit yet. When they do, you can come here every day and pick them as you like!"

She was confident that the yield of these vegetables that had been selected after the doomsday screening would be absolutely amazing and her family would not be able to eat them all.

Zheng Hongxia waved her hand: "Give me the seedlings, and I'll go home and plant them myself, so that the guys at home won't be too idle. Asking them to take care of these seedlings every day will give them something to do!"

Tang Qiuyue let Zheng Hongxia choose by herself and just dig up whatever seedlings she liked with a shovel.

Zheng Hongxia was not greedy and picked five seedlings as well.

It just so happened that Tang Qiyue was complaining that the seedlings had grown too big and were planted too densely, affecting their growth. After Zheng Hongxia selected them, she didn't have to thin them out.

After seeing Zheng Hongxia off, Xu Qiuju ran to Tang Qiyue and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard from my Hu Peng that you and Battalion Commander Zhan are going to leave the island for a while?"

Tang Qiyue did not hide it from Xu Qiuju. After all, she was not at home. She could hide it from anyone except Xu Qiuju who lived next door.

"Yes, I have something to do with Zhan Zeye, so I need you to keep an eye on my yard and the chickens and ducks!"

How could Xu Qiuju not be happy?

She had already benefited a lot from Tang Qiyue, and it was just a small job, and it wasn't hard, so she naturally agreed readily.

"Then I won't be polite. I just happen to be envious of these peppers!"

Tang Qiyue also reminded Xu Qiuju: "I don't know how many days I will be gone. If there are any grown fruits, don't be reluctant to pick them and eat them freely!"

Xu Qiuju's heart skipped a beat, as she could tell that Tang Qiyue would be away for a long time this time.

"Sister-in-law, please be honest with me. You won't not come back, right?"
