Traveling through the 1970s

Chapter 182: Teach Xu Yun to make oyster sauce

That day, Xu Yun brought back all the oysters that Han Yunya wanted.

There were several large buckets, all filled to the brim.

"Xiaoxiao, what do you want these things for? There are so many of them on the beach and no one wants them." Xu Yun looked at Han Yunya in confusion.

"This is a good thing. I'm going to make some oyster sauce. In the future, you can add a little oyster sauce to stews, stir-fries, and mixed vegetables. It's delicious and tasty."

When Xu Yun heard that it was delicious, she became interested again and sat down to prepare it with Han Yunya.

"Auntie Xiaoxiao, what you wanted were oysters. I brought them to you." Liu Zhenhai shouted outside the yard, carrying a basket on his back.

Liu Zhenhai is the youngest son of Political Commissar Liu Jianguo. He has three older sisters and two older brothers.

Usually when they had nothing to do, they and the children in the family compound would run wildly on the beach. Han Yunya used a handful of sugar and asked them to help get some oysters back.

"Thank you Zhenhai."

Han Yunya said this with a smile, stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, went back into the house and gave Liu Zhenhai the snacks she had prepared.

"I've been tired all morning. Take it and share it among you!"

Looking at the exquisite snacks in Aunt Xiaoxiao's hand, Liu Zhenhai wanted them very much, but he knew he couldn't have them because they had already taken the candies from Aunt Xiaoxiao.

"Auntie Xiaoxiao, you've already given us candy, we can't take this."

"Just take it. Go! Go and have fun." He stuffed the snack into Liu Zhenhai's hand.

"Thank you, Auntie Xiaoxiao." Liu Zhenhai thanked her with a smile, then ran away with the snacks.

Xu Yun looked at Liu Zhenhai who was running away. The child of Political Commissar Liu was well educated, polite and clean.

"Zhenhai is a polite and kind child." Xu Yun said with a smile.

"Sister Yun, didn't you say a while ago that you were going to work? Why didn't you go?"

Han Yunya still remembered that Xu Yun said she was going to work, so why has there been no news from her in the past two days?

"Don't say that. My husband asked me to give my job to someone who needs it more." Xu Yun said it lightly, but there was grievance and unwillingness in her eyes.

Han Yunya was stunned. She really didn't expect that Battalion Commander Xiang was so conscious that he even gave up his own wife's job quota.

Sister Yun clearly didn't want to, so why didn't she make it clear to Battalion Commander Xiang?

I remember reading a lot of novels in the past, and there were many such selfless people who would rather sacrifice their own families than make things convenient for others.

If it were me, I wouldn't do that. Everyone needs it, so why let my wife suffer?

It is allowed that outsiders may think that my thoughts are selfish, but the job opportunity was obtained through my own hard work, and it was neither unreasonable nor rushed.

Why should he give up when he wants to? If he wants to give up, he can just use his own job quota to do so.

"Sister Yun, let me teach you how to make oyster sauce today! Maybe you can use this skill to apply for a job opportunity in the army."

Han Yunya thought of the oil-consuming factories in the future, and maybe she could set up an oil-consuming factory. Not only could she solve Xu Yun's work problem, but she could also solve the work problems of the remaining military wives.

"Really? Xiaoxiao, can you really do it?" Xu Yun asked with eyes wide open.

"Of course we can. Think about it. We can make oyster sauce, put it in glass bottles, and sell it."

Xu Yun became happy when she heard that.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you, sister."

Xu Yun's eyes were filled with tears. A stranger could think of her like this, but what about her own man? He could let himself be wronged for the sake of others.

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt, and the more I cried.

"Sister Yun, what's wrong with you? Just tell me if you have any grievances." Han Yunya didn't know what to do for a moment.

Xu Yun wiped her tears and smiled, looking at the young wife of Gu Tuan's family. She was young, but more mature and stable than herself. She felt embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm fine, let's get to work!" As he said that, he started to help Han Yunya get oysters without saying anything else.

She didn't want to say it, and I couldn't force Xu Yun, so I just continued to open the oysters.

After all the oysters were opened, Han Yunya instructed Xu Yun to start making oyster sauce.

Xu Yun listened carefully to every word Han Yunya said, took every step seriously, and humbly asked for advice when she didn't understand.

When Gu Jiangzhou and Xiang Jinchuan came back, their oyster sauce was not yet ready, and two grown men were standing by and watching them operate.

"Sister Yun, go pick some greens. We'll mix them with oyster sauce and let them have a taste."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xu Yun said happily.

I have a low level of education and it was hard for me to find a job. I finally found a job, but Xiang Jinchuan forced me to give it up. Now I have a job again, and it’s the kind that no one else can take away from me. How can I not be happy?

No matter what Xu Yun does now, she feels like she has endless energy.

"Xiaoxiao, are you saying you want to open a gas station?" Gu Jiangzhou didn't expect that his wife would have such big ambitions.

"Yes! Oysters are everywhere on our island. They can generate income for everyone. Why not?"

Han Yunya thought that she would not do this, she was just proposing it.

"I'm just offering a suggestion. As for whether it will work or not, you guys still need to discuss it."

What I mean is, just don’t look for me.

Xiang Jinchuan listened carefully and thought about the feasibility of this matter. If the oil-consuming plant could be opened, it would not only solve the employment problem of the remaining military families on the island, but also provide another way out for the island.

"Captain!" Xiang Jinchuan looked at his own captain.

Gu Jiangzhou looked at Xiang Jinchuan and thought about his own treat.

"We'll treat everyone to dinner tomorrow, and then we'll talk about this matter after dinner." Gu Jiangzhou thought, let everyone taste the oyster sauce, and then talk about the feasibility of this matter.

Xu Yun came back with some vegetables, and Han Yunya simply mixed them, scooped a spoonful of oyster sauce, and mixed them.

“Try it!”

Gu Jiangzhou and Xiang Jinchuan couldn't wait to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks, tasted it carefully, and their eyes lit up.

"It tastes really good." Gu Jiangzhou nodded.

"Right? I said it can enhance the flavor and it's delicious. As for how to make it, you can ask Sister Yun!" The meaning is very clear, don't ask me.

Gu Jiangzhou looked at his young wife who was afraid of trouble, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Xiaoxiao was still so afraid of trouble.

Xiang Jinchuan was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Tuan's sister-in-law had such a side, so cute and adorable.

Xu Yun didn't expect that Xiaoxiao treated the matter of running a factory as a huge trouble that she couldn't avoid at all.

As soon as they finished their meal, they sent Xiang Jinchuan and his wife back.
