Chapter 316: A Lot of Room for Improvement
An Jiu struggled to open his eyelids that seemed to be glued together, and said in a sleepy voice, "...So soon?"
The assistant only left her with his back.
However, a slight tingling sensation on the back of her hand reminded her that the infusion was indeed finished.
Anjiu pressed the needle hole, got up and walked out.
Her confused mind gradually became clear, she let go of his hand, and rushed home as fast as she could.
Fortunately, Pu Huai has strict working hours.
After arriving home, Anjiu put the beans that had just been hung out today back into the space and would take them out tomorrow.
Otherwise, the degree of drying would be different from yesterday, and Pu Huai would be able to see it at a glance.
Looking at the time, they would be back soon, so Anjiu poured some rice and prepared to wash it.
However, at this moment, footsteps were heard approaching hurriedly in the corridor. Just as Anjiu was about to go over, he saw grandma pushing the door in.
She screamed and quickly snatched the basin away, "Didn't I say I would cook dinner tonight? Go back quickly, lie down if you have nothing to do!"
An Jiu smiled, "It doesn't matter who does it. Why did you come back so early?"
Grandma seemed to be in good spirits and her movements were quick.
"The task was completed early, so Captain Pu arranged for us to go home." Grandma walked to the window and asked Pu Huai from next door to help her collect the dried beans together.
She pinched the hardness and said with satisfaction: "It's done a lot. It will take another day or two and then you won't have to take it out."
Anjiu helped to hold open the bag to make it easier for grandma to put the beans in, and asked her how her work in the mine was today.
Grandma was very excited: "It's not a difficult job, as long as you put in the effort, and Captain Pu will provide lunch at noon, and the wages are high. This job is really good, I will go with you tomorrow!"
Seeing that grandma was happy, Anjiu also relaxed.
"Then put some more dried meat in there so you can eat more."
Grandma touched her face lovingly and said, "Eat more wine, you're too thin. It hurts me to see you like that."
The next second, she was chased away by her grandmother and she didn't have to help at all.
Anjiu: ...
She sat cross-legged on the bed with a mess of socks in front of her and began to pair them one by one.
After a while, Pu Huai came.
He was holding two things in his hands, one he threw in front of Anjiu and the other he placed on the table.
Anjiu picked up the small blue bottle that looked like glucose and looked at him puzzledly.
Pu Huai said simply: "Sweet water."
An Jiu suddenly remembered that he said the same thing last time, and he instantly understood that this was medicine.
But she has already had an IV today.
Pu Huai seemed to know what she was thinking, and then said three words: "It's okay."
……All right.
He unscrewed the lid of the wine and poured it into his mouth.
"Captain Pu, should we put all this meat away?" Grandma asked, picking up the fresh red meat on the table.
"Yeah." Pu Huai nodded, took the empty bottle of Anjiu and put it in his pocket, then bent down and sat on a small stool, taking over his grandmother's job of washing vegetables.
His movements were very skillful, and like everyone else on the 48th floor, he knew how to ensure the integrity of the ingredients to the greatest extent possible.
Grandma was startled and said quickly, "How can you do this kind of work? Go and take a rest. I will do it myself."
Pu Huai naturally avoided the hand that his grandmother extended, "You go and cut the meat, Xiaojiu must be hungry too."
Anjiu who folds socks:?
I'm afraid you're just making an excuse because you're hungry?
But when two people looked at it at the same time.
Anjiu: "...Yes, I'm hungry."
"No, that won't do. My darling grandson can't let anyone starve." Grandma immediately went to cook and muttered, no longer caring about Pu Huai washing the vegetables.
The stove is lit, fat is put into the pot to stir-fry the grease, and there is a crackling sound when the dishes are poured in. The evening breeze blows into the house, taking away the fumes.
Pu Huai would pick up the seasoning from time to time and add some when his grandmother wasn't paying attention.
Seeing Anjiu looking at him, he just bent a finger and put it between his lips.
Lie.
An Jiudang saw nothing.
——Don’t blame him. In grandma’s concept, cooking is just about cooking. She has never seen any seasonings, let alone knowing how to use them.
So every time it was grandma's turn to cook, she and Pu Huai ate very quickly.
Food is scarce, so just filling your stomach is enough; who cares about the taste?
But it’s different when it comes to cooking. You have to try every possible way to make it taste better. Life is hard enough, and it’s even more difficult if your mouth has to suffer as well.
I held on until I bought soy sauce and salt, and then I started using Anjiu more often when cooking. I had to pour some into the pot every time I cooked.
So now Anjiu thinks that this is why Pu Huai came early today.
At the dinner table, grandma filled the two people's bowls with meat.
"Eat, eat more."
Seeing that Pu Huai and An Jiu were eating so much that they didn't even bother to raise their heads, she felt like crying - poor two kids, they were so hungry, how could she not know what it takes to cook for themselves!
Grandma put the meat into her mouth sadly and chewed it.
Eh?
and many more.
Why does it feel delicious?
"It seems..." Grandma hesitated and looked at the two people for confirmation, "My cooking skills have improved?"
Anjiu and Pu Huai looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
"Yes, grandma, your cooking is getting better and better!"
"Grandma, you're making rapid progress!"
Grandma was a little shy after being praised, and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for Pu Huai, "It's mainly because Captain Pu washed the vegetables cleanly."
Then he picked up a piece of meat for Xiaojiu with chopsticks, "And the rice that my Xiaojiu washed tastes delicious!"
Finally, he implicitly said: "I still have a lot of room for improvement!"
……
After the car carrying Grandma and Pu Huai drove to the mound and could no longer be seen, Anjiu took out the beans that she had cut yesterday and hung them together on a rope outside.
It looks like it’s another nice sunny day today.
Anjiu cut the remaining tomatoes in half, squeezed the juice into a clean basin, then strung them up with thread and hung them outside to dry.
In fact, if possible, it will dry faster if you lay it flat.
Since the beginning of autumn, the climate in the wilderness has become drier. The first thing I have to do every morning when I wake up is to drink water, otherwise my throat will be so dry that I won’t be able to speak.
And she began to clearly feel that the temperature was getting cooler in the morning and evening.
I don’t know if it has something to do with her injury, but I felt a little cold last night even with a thin quilt. I’ll try a thin down quilt today.
She put on socks and changed into long sleeves, looking sadly at the hem of her clothes swaying in the wind - how could she resist the cold without any extra fat?
Today's task is still to cut and dry vegetables, and also to braid garlic.
I had to get two more IV drips during the process, and Anjiu was as busy as yesterday.
But she was in much better condition today than yesterday. Her stomach no longer hurt when she walked. Although it still hurt, she could bear it.
Taking advantage of the time when he had the most energy after the infusion, Anjiu took the elevator to the outdoors and left the building.
She didn't walk far. She dug a hole on the spot according to her memory and collected soil into the space. Last time she only planted onions and didn't have time to plant tomato seedlings.
Although she doesn't have a flower pot, she still has a cardboard box, which can be used to store soil.
