Chapter 374: Have you encountered any difficulties?
The beach after the rain was no longer as hot as before. The sea breeze was blowing gently, and Zhou Yue just felt comfortable all over.
"Sister, it's raining today, so are we still going out to sea?"
Zhou Yue thought for a moment and realized that on such a rainy day, the waves must be rough and it would be too dangerous to go out to sea.
"I don't think we'll go out to sea. Come on, let's go to the farmhouse for breakfast."
Because it hadn’t rained, there wasn’t even an umbrella in the house.
Zhou Yue searched everywhere and luckily found a piece of discarded wood. She picked it up and held it on her head, then pulled her brother towards the farmhouse.
Zhou Yue and her brother trotted all the way to the farmhouse. Before they even stepped in, they could hear the hustle and bustle inside.
"It's finally raining! It's finally raining! Now the people can finally survive!"
An older comrade had tears of excitement in his eyes and his voice trembled slightly.
"Yes! Let's have more rain! With rain, we can grow vegetables and crops, and the villagers won't have to go to bed hungry anymore!"
A young comrade scratched his head and said helplessly.
"It's just that we can't go out to sea because it's raining, so we can't stay indoors and do nothing!"
"You just can't get used to being idle! It's so cool when it rains, but it was so sunny today that I almost melted. Now I feel so comfortable all over!"
Since no one was going out to sea today, Zhou Yue thought about cooking a few good meals to reward everyone.
The seafood was just hung up to dry yesterday afternoon. It’s not dry yet and is perfect for cooking.
She selected some fish with fewer bones and cut them into thin slices with great skill.
He took another pot of prawns, peeled them skillfully and cut them into shrimp pieces.
The water in the big pot was bubbling and bubbling, and Zhou Yue put fish, shrimp and some dried scallops into the pot one by one.
After a while, she grabbed a handful of white pea powder and prepared to put it into the pot.
I bought this pea powder in the city last time. It tastes great and absorbs soup very well. Once the powder is put into the pot, the soup instantly becomes thick.
After cooking for a few minutes, Zhou Yue estimated that the time was about right, so she picked up the salt shaker and added some salt to the pot.
She turned her head to see if anyone was paying attention, then secretly took out a small bottle and quickly poured some chicken essence into the pot.
Every time I add the chicken essence, I have to do it secretly to avoid being seen by others.
Although it is a bit troublesome, the taste will be much worse without adding chicken essence and it will not taste as fresh.
The comrades in the base area especially loved the food cooked by Zhou Yue because she would always secretly add some special seasonings.
Sometimes Zhou Yue is busy, and Sister Chunyan and the others don’t add these seasonings when cooking, so the taste is much worse.
Sister Chunyan would also ask Zhou Yue privately.
"Ah Yue, how come you are such a good cook? With the same ingredients, your food tastes better than mine!"
Zhou Yue scratched his head and could only respond with a silly smile.
"No, I think they are all the same!"
Everyone sat together, holding their bowls and eating happily.
Zhou Yue sat at the door with a bowl in her hand. The seafood rice noodles were steaming hot, and the delicious aroma went straight into her nose.
While eating, she looked at the rain outside.
The rain seemed to have started falling in the middle of the night and there is no sign of stopping yet.
Although the rain was not a downpour, it was not light at all. The raindrops fell densely like pearls falling from a string.
"Bang bang bang."
There was a sudden knock on the door. Zhou Yue was a little surprised when she heard the sound.
The comrades are all eating in the house, and who would come when it’s raining so hard?
She was muttering to herself and was about to get up to open the door, but Sister Chunyan had already walked over quickly.
"Oh! Granny Feng! Why are you here in such a heavy rain?"
Sister Chunyan's voice was full of surprise. Standing at the door was an old lady with gray hair and wrinkled face.
She looked to be around sixty years old. She was Grandma Feng Guichun from the village, a poor person with a tragic fate.
Granny Feng was holding a tattered umbrella in her hand. The umbrella was so broken that it couldn't protect her from the rain at all.
The rain kept running down her hair and cheeks. She stood there, nervously pinching the corner of her clothes.
His lips trembled slightly, and he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Sister Chunyan was very thoughtful and could tell at a glance that Granny Feng must have something to say that she was unable to bring up.
He hurried forward, held her arm, and gently led her into the house.
"It's raining really hard. Granny Feng, please come inside and talk. Don't get yourself caught."
After entering the house, a comrade immediately brought a towel and handed it to Grandma Feng.
"Granny Feng, please wipe it quickly."
Granny Feng took the towel but just wiped it mechanically on her face a few times. She still looked uneasy after sitting down.
Seeing this, Sister Chunyan squatted down, looked at Granny Feng at eye level, and her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Granny Feng, are you having any trouble? Just tell us, we will help you if we can!"
