Chapter 651: Rest and Prepare for the New Year! (The Third Update!)

It was not until the next morning that the ship, which had been floating on the sea, was discovered by other passing ships and reported to the escort fleet.

The escort fleet had a public communication channel. Everyone checked each other's location and easily found that the Indian Mumbai was nearby.

So the task of going to the rescue fell on the Mumbai.

When the Mumbai received the news, it immediately promised to arrive at the rescue as soon as possible.

However, when the Eternal Church received the rescue, it was already that night.

The relevant news was issued one step earlier than them and appeared in the mainstream media in the West.

[Shocked, under the protection of the multinational escort fleet, the Israeli merchant ship was still hijacked by pirates. ]

[Terrible, the pirates are so rampant, and they don't take the United Nations seriously at all. ]

[Where do these pirates get the courage? They are so rampant. ]

[The rampant pirates are a stumbling block to the development of the world. We should humanely destroy them and destroy them completely. 】

For a while, the mainstream countries, led by America, almost simultaneously issued condemnations against the pirates, and then exerted pressure frantically, as if a large army was approaching to completely destroy the Somali pirates.

Compared to the bustling Middle East, China is even more lively.

Because the time has come to the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

During the Spring Festival of 2004, although the wave of migrant workers had already formed, all factories had to make way for the New Year.

Everyone can have a good rest and eat seriously, so as not to be called away by a phone call during the meal.

In addition, many places can still set off fireworks and firecrackers, so the New Year at this time still has a strong New Year flavor.

This year, Lin Yu did not return to Lanling, but chose to stay in Yanjing for the New Year.

Early in the morning, the couple was still awakened from their sleep, and they were still in a daze, and a large vegetable basket was thrown into their hands.

Lu Lin's mother's instructions also rang in her ears: "Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. The vegetable market will be closed tomorrow and will not open until at least the sixth day of the first lunar month."

"Your task is to buy as many fresh vegetables and meat as possible for me."

"Lu Lin, don't yell at me. Look at what you look like now. You are so lazy that you don't go out of the front door or the back door. You are not lame or dead."

"If you were dead or lame, I could understand not going out, but you are not!"

"So, get out and move around now!"

The mother-in-law's voice was a bit nagging, and the two people who were forced to be turned on stood by, leaning on each other, but their eyes were closed.

Still sleeping!

Seeing these two guys so incompetent, Lu Lin's mother was so annoyed that she grabbed Lu Lin's twin brother and sister and pushed them to the door:

"Get out now!"

Until the door was closed, the four people who were thrown out of the house came to their senses and looked at each other in amazement.

Especially the twin brother and sister, there were big question marks in their little eyes. They couldn't figure out why their mother, who usually held them in her hands and put them in her heart, would treat them like this.

It was simply unreasonable.

After looking at each other for a while, the younger brother Lu Feng suddenly asked:

"Sister and brother-in-law, do you have money to go out to buy vegetables?"

As soon as this question came out, the eyes of the younger sister Lu Xue next to him suddenly lit up.

It's the New Year, and every girl must buy something.

With this question, Lu Lin was silent for a moment, then walked back to the front door of her house and banged on the iron door:

"Mom, give me money to buy vegetables!"

"Your daughter is an unemployed vagrant with no money in my hand. You asked me to buy vegetables, but you didn't give me money. Do you want me to die!"

The banging sound of the door soon attracted Lu Lin's mother.

The door opened, and she looked at her daughter with a dark face, then suddenly reached out, pinched her daughter's cheeks, and pulled them hard to both sides, pulling her from an oval face to a big pancake face.

Then she said viciously:

"Lu Lin, it's New Year's Day, don't keep saying death all the time. If you say it again, I'll beat you to death."

With her cheek pinched by her mother, Lu Lin struggled to beg for mercy with her tongue sticking out. While begging for mercy, she argued again:

"Mom, why can you say beat me to death?"

Lu Lin's mother let go of her hand, wiped the hand that was pinching Lu Lin on her apron, and said impatiently: "Because I'm your mother!"

The genetic suppression from her blood left Lu Lin speechless.

But she wanted to argue again, and just as she was about to speak, a stack of red banknotes was handed to her, and at the same time, her mother's nagging was handed over:

"Try to buy fresh vegetables, especially fish and shrimp, and meat, they must be fresh."

"Bargain more, don't be embarrassed! You won't lose two taels of meat if you talk more to the vegetable seller."

"But if the price is lowered, you can indeed eat two more taels of meat."

Listening to the nagging voice, Lu Lin took the banknotes, stretched out her hand, and closed the door.

When she turned around, her face was full of smiles. She shook the banknotes in her hand at her brother and sister, and said happily:

"Let's go, whatever you want to buy today, I'll pay for it for you."

The twins were very happy to see the banknotes in her hand, but when their eyes passed her and fell on the iron door behind them, they swallowed their saliva with guilt.

Finally, the timid Lu Xue said: "Sister, aren't you afraid that my mother will beat you to death?"

With one sentence, the remaining three fell into silence.

After a long time, Lu Lin put the banknotes into her pocket and whispered:

"Then let's go buy groceries!"

Then, they encountered a very serious problem.

Where to buy groceries.

Lin Yu is a foreigner and has never bought food here.

The three Lu family brothers and sisters have been well taken care of since they were young. They are all eldest young ladies and young masters who don't have a finger in love. They don't know where to buy groceries.

The four people stared at each other, and after waiting for a while, they decided to go out first.

After all, as the old saying goes, the prerequisite for going out to buy groceries is to go out.

Lin Yu drove, while Lu Lin sat in the passenger seat and asked for directions.

"Aunt An, are you going out to buy food? Where is the food better?"

"Uncle Wang, do you know where the food is better? The kind that is fresher and more affordable."

"Aunt Zhao, are you going to buy groceries? Can you take one of us with you?"

After some questioning, the four of them finally followed Aunt Zhao and found the vegetable market.

Before the implementation of the vegetable basket project, Yanjing could not eat green leafy vegetables throughout the winter. The only fresh vegetables that could be called fresh vegetables were potatoes.

After the implementation of the vegetable basket project, especially the use of greenhouse technology, more dishes in the north are visible to the naked eye, and there are more choices.

Looking at the people coming and going, Lin Yu put his small bag of money on his chest, reached out to grab Lu Lin, carefully pushed through the crowd, and walked into the vegetable market.

Lu Feng and Lu Xue, one on the left and one on the right, formed a triangle formation with Lin Yu, protecting Lu Lin in the middle.

In front of the pork stall, Lin Yu smoothed his sleeves and said to the pork stall owner with a smile:

"Boss, I want 5 pounds of lean meat. Don't have any fat on it. Cut it all into thin slices."

"Give me another 5 pounds of fat. It should be on the waist, abdomen and back. There shouldn't be any skinny part on top. It should be cut into small pieces for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the owner of the pork stall who was cutting the meat paused, slowly turned his head, slapped the knife on the stall, and asked viciously:

"Do you want me to cut off some more cartilage for you?"

The next second, Lin Yu's muttered voice sounded: "Boss, look at you, everyone is selling pork, but when the quality of everyone's pork is about the same, you should empower the pork."

"You have to trap other people so you can make money."

"When everyone is only selling pork, you have to sell services."

"Did you see that there are hair follicles on the pig skin? It is rarely treated, and many young people don't know how to handle it."

"You can add a process and use a spray gun to burn the pig skin."

"When others buy meat, you can help them slice, shred, and mince it."

"In this way, you have empowered pork, you have achieved something that no one else has, and I have something new."

"This way your business will be better, do you understand?"

His serious words deceived the pork stall owner into a daze.

For a long time, the pork stall owner looked at his knife and then at the young man opposite.

He hesitantly moved his hand to the cut piece of pork.

Pour a little water from the thermos bottle next to it, wash the pork, and then heat the chopping board where the meat is placed. Hesitantly holding the knife, he begins to cut the pork.

Perhaps the pork seller has a bonus when cutting the pork. Except for the first few cuts, the pork stall owner will bring out very thin slices of meat with every remaining cut.

Seeing the thin slices of meat, Lin Yu didn't hesitate to praise him.

"The boss is so awesome! The boss is so good at swordsmanship! The boss is such a kind person..."

Five minutes later, a bag of thin slices of meat and a bag of diced fatty meat were handed to Lin Yu by the pork stall owner.

Lin Yu paid the money readily and left with a smile on his face.

As soon as he left his front foot, another young man immediately filled his vacancy, pointing to the pork on the chopping board: "Boss, I want 10 pounds of pure lean meat, without any fat on it, give it to me thinly." Cut into shreds.”

The pork stall owner hesitated for a moment, and chose between slicing the man in front of him and slicing the pork. He picked up the knife, cut off the lean meat, weighed it, collected the money, and sliced ​​it.

Lin Yu and others on the other side were also temporarily confused.

Lu Lin fell into silence looking at the slices of meat and diced meat in Lin Yu's hands. After a long time, she asked: "When I was in Lanling, I remember that the master chef in the cafeteria cut it himself."

Lin Yu smiled calmly: "Shencheng is, but they use machines."

"Have you bought the pork? Do you want to buy beef and mutton?"

"Can you cook mutton? If you don't pay attention to that thing, it will only smell bad."

"Won't!"

"Then go buy beef?"

"But I heard there is a lot of water-injected yellow beef on the market."

"If you don't buy these two, what will you buy?"

"Go buy two fish!"

"How about buying some beef and some beef offal, and then marinating it with some spices. It will be a good snack when watching movies during the Chinese New Year."

"Let's go!"

Buying beef was not that troublesome. After wandering around for a while, Lin Yu found a beef stall with good quality meat, ordered half a back, and then bought some offal.

Asking the three brothers and sisters to wait where they were, he turned around and carried the things out of the vegetable market, stuffed all the meat into the trunk, and then got back into the vegetable market.

"What vegetables do you like to eat?"

"Don't eat vegetables! Xiaofeng and Xiaoxue don't like to eat vegetables either."

"If you don't eat vegetables, your mother will beat you to death, including you two little ones!"

"Then buy some celery!"

"I see there are Houttuynia cordata and coriander over there, let's mix them together!"

Lin Yu calmly picked up a fat Houttuynia cordata and handed it to the three siblings.

Seeing the white rhizome handed over, Lu Lin's eyes suddenly widened, and the whole person took two steps back, revealing a look of facing a great enemy:

"Ugh... You are simply a pervert! Don't you think that if these two dishes are put together at the same time, and mixed together, when you eat them, it will feel like a fish that has just died for half an hour is stirring in your mouth?"

Hearing the fish, Lin Yu's eyes lit up and said happily:

"Remember what I told you before? The famous dish of Hangcheng, West Lake Vinegar Fish."

"We can try to make it today!"

"When the time comes, West Lake Vinegar Fish with Houttuynia cordata and coriander will be perfect!"

After saying this, Lu Lin took two steps back again.

Even she, who has never been to Hangcheng, has heard of the reputation of West Lake vinegar fish.

Next is the New Year, not a farewell dinner, so for the sake of the family affection of the Lu family, West Lake vinegar fish and Houttuynia cordata mixed with coriander are absolutely not allowed to appear in the Lu family.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Lin took a step forward and started to act coquettishly when hugging Lin Yu:

"Hubby, I want to eat steamed sea bass."

Listening to her sweet voice, Lin Yu had to give up the idea of ​​making West Lake vinegar fish at the family dinner and then pairing it with Houttuynia cordata mixed with coriander.

Turned around and went to the fish stall to pick sea bass.

There were many stalls selling fish, and in addition to fish, there were also various seafood.

After picking and choosing, the few people finally found the right sea bass.

Next to the lively sea bass, there was a water tank with a note on it - backstroke sea bass.

In the water churning with the air pump, several sea bass were lying there calmly, turning their bellies and lying calmly.

One of the fish's fins was still gently flipping, and it looked very relaxed and comfortable.

When Lin Yu and others turned their attention to it, the fish calmly turned over and swam quietly in the water.

When the fishmonger turned around and looked over, it turned over on its belly and continued to swim on its back.

Faced with such a human-like fish, Lin Yu could only buy this backstroke perch with tears in his eyes at one-third of the price of a normal perch.

After the boss weighed it, Lin Yu did not rush to pay, but took out a spring scale and weighed it again.

Maybe this vegetable market is strictly controlled, so the boss did not cheat on the weight.

When he was about to leave, Lu Feng suddenly grabbed him and then pointed to a water cabinet on the edge.

Those two cabinets were seafood cabinets.

When Lin Yu looked over, he happened to see a brightly colored prawn lying on the edge of the cabinet, with a small tube clamped in the left claw, and the right claw calmly tore the small tube, and then ate it more comfortably.

After looking at the prices of squid and lobster, Lin Yu gave the big shrimp a thumbs up.

Then, she rescued it with tears in her eyes.

After buying some other seafood and vegetables, the four of them walked out of the vegetable market.

After stuffing all these things into the trunk, Lin Yu reached out and took Lu Lin in his arms, looked at Lu Feng and Lu Xue and asked:

"What do you want to buy? You can make a wish to me now!"
