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

Chapter 86 The Rival is Sick

The medicine has been given, so Tang Qiyue naturally doesn't care what Li Erhong's plan is. After all, it was his wife who plotted against Chen Dazhuang.

Xu Qiuju was curious why Li Erhong insisted on getting pregnant secretly.

"You don't know, if you can't close your legs every night, you also want to get pregnant, at least if you get pregnant, he won't dare to touch me!"

After Li Erhong finished speaking, Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju fell silent.

One has already given birth to three children, and the other has never experienced married life.

Li Erhong felt a little regretful after she finished speaking, and hurriedly explained to Tang Qiyue: "Sister-in-law, don't be so stubborn with me. This couple's life is really not a good thing. It's best to cover yourself with a blanket and sleep. Believe me!"

Tang Qiyue: ...

She didn't want to continue this topic. The glutinous rice had just been washed, so she took it directly to the kitchen, poured it into a clean pot and added a pot of water.

Because there is no way to use black technology, we can only use the old methods.

Nowadays, people cook rice by scooping it out. The glutinous rice needs to be boiled first. When the rice is half cooked, take it out and spread it flat on the cloth on the steamer, and then put it in the pot to steam.

Xu Qiuju helped to light the fire, and Tang Qiyue stuffed a few pieces of sweet potatoes and taro into the bottom of the pot.

They got a lot of these things and they didn't feel bad about it.

Li Erhong was cleaning the steamer nearby.

The three women were talking and they didn't feel bored.

After the glutinous rice was fished out, Tang Qiuyue took out the remaining rice soup, sprinkled some sugar in it, and called a few children who were playing outside the yard to come over and gave each of them a bowl.

No child can resist the sweet rice soup.

Xu Qiuju thought that Tang Qiyue was being extravagant as she even added sugar. The rice soup was already a little sweet so there was no need for sugar.

Tang Qiyue didn't explain. It was just a little bit of sugar, so she really didn't care.

The children couldn't sit still and ran out to play after drinking.

Tang Qiuyue took out the abalone she had brought back earlier and used a bamboo brush to brush off all the dirt on the abalone.

Li Erhong was also helping.

"It's only my sister-in-law who is willing to spend money on food. If it were me, I would definitely chop it up and cook it into porridge!"

Xu Qiuju is a person who has no pursuit of food. Her principle is to be full and she has no other requirements.

Tang Qiyue didn't want to go through so much trouble, but she had eaten enough nutrient solution in the apocalypse, and now her biggest pursuit was only eating.

Clean the abalone and remove all the shells with a knife.

After the abalone is processed, the glutinous rice is also steamed.

Tang Qiuyue sprinkled some salt on the processed abalone, cut a few slices of ginger, soaked them in water, then washed her hands and opened the glutinous rice.

When she saw the crystal clear glutinous rice, she could hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

Tang Qiuyue not only steamed the two kilograms of glutinous rice that Zheng Hongxia sent, but also added two kilograms. This pot contained at least four kilograms of glutinous rice, filling up a large steamer.

Tang Qiuyue found a large bamboo tube, poured out the glutinous rice and let it dry. After it cooled down, she crushed the koji and mixed it with the glutinous rice.

Divide it into four bamboo tubes, then cover them with clean leaves and tie them tightly, place them in a ventilated, cool place in the corner, and wait for time to ferment.

The fire at the bottom of the pot was still there and the abalone was almost soaked, so she took it out and put it in the steamer and steamed it directly in the pot.

“Is this something that can be eaten directly after being steamed?”

Li Erhong was curious. She didn't understand Tang Qiyue's intention. She thought that what Tang Qiyue meant by drying the abalone was to just dry it in the sun. "You need to steam it for ten minutes and then dry it in the sun. That way the dried abalone will be very chewy!"

Tang Qiyue explained casually and asked Xu Qiuju to dig out the sweet potatoes and taro buried in the wood ash at the bottom of the pot, and called a few children to come and eat.

It’s not a big deal, so it won’t make you feel full, and it can be used as a snack.

The good thing was that there were plenty of sweet potatoes and taro, so everyone ate a little.

The children ate while playing, and ten minutes passed quickly.

Tang Qiyue and the others finished eating the sweet potatoes in their hands early and started to arrange the abalone on the bamboo grate.

The weather was hot, and the wind on the island was constant. Although it was already afternoon, the abalone was half dry after being dried in the sun for an afternoon.

I put the things in the yard to dry, it was getting late.

Li Erhong and Xu Qiuju also wanted to go to the beach to see if they could pick up some sea fish or something, so that they could at least have more to eat.

Tang Qiyue had nothing to do, so naturally she went to the beach.

Just as they arrived at the beach, they happened to see a fishing boat returning. The three women saw it and thought of the hot sauce they had made earlier, so they immediately ran over to buy it from the fishermen.

Tang Qiyue did not go there. She took Xu Qiuju's two children to pick up shells on the beach. She was always able to find big cat's eye snails, and the children especially liked to follow Tang Qiyue.

They didn't want the cat's eye snails, they just wanted to pinch them to make water and play with them.

Tang Qiyue also indulged them. As long as they found something, she would let them play with it. They would just throw it into her wooden barrel obediently anyway.

I was lucky today and actually got a lot of kelp and stone vegetables, as well as a few live hairtails.

The silvery hairtail attracted the children's attention, so Tang Qiuyue simply let them play with it. After all, they could just throw it into the wooden barrel when it died.

Children are always easily satisfied, and any small thing can become their toy.

Compared with hard-shell seafood, Tang Qiuyue still likes kelp very much. Not only because kelp can be dried and used as a reserve vegetable, but also because kelp is delicious whether stewed or served cold.

Just as she was thinking about how to deal with the kelp, she heard someone calling her.

"Sister, you are here!"

Tang Xiuyuan ran up to Tang Qiyue, his face full of excitement.

"You're not busy anymore? Why are you here?"

Tang Qiyue knew that their management of technicians was still very strict. Although there was no restriction on personal freedom, it was not easy for them to get out.

"Oh, Brother Xu is sick. I wanted to go to the clinic to find a doctor, but that woman was busy, so she asked me to come find you!"

After Tang Xiuyuan finished speaking, Tang Qiyue became anxious.

Fortunately, Xu Qiuju and Li Erhong each brought back a bucket of shrimps, so Tang Qiyue no longer worried about the safety of the children. She said goodbye to the two of them and went home carrying the buckets.

It’s not that she didn’t want to go see Bai Xu directly, but she had to go back to get her bag, otherwise there was no way to hide the fact that she was taking out the medicine.

Along the way, Tang Xiuyuan told him about Bai Xu's condition. It was not serious enough to threaten his life, but he had a fever. It was probably because he was too happy to go swimming in the sea when he went to the beach last night. After he came back, he did not take a hot shower immediately but just took a cold shower and caught a cold.

Tang Xiuyuan said it lightly, but it was very annoying to Tang Qiyue.

"You are so careless!"

When Tang Qiyue returned home, Zhan Zeye had already returned. When he heard that Tang Qiyue was going to see Bai Xu, he could no longer sit still and said he would accompany her.

This made Zhan Zeye very glad of his decision, because as soon as they saw Bai Xu, Bai Xu was already delirious with fever and pulled Tang Qiyue's hand to hug her in his arms.
