Shi Tingyu didn't expect that Lu Weiguo was still thinking about this matter.
"Actually, it's okay if you don't have it." She said. After seeing those in later generations, she was not as persistent in the current three turns and one ring as people at this time.
"Watches, bicycles, sewing machines and tape recorders, none of them are missing." Lu Weiguo said seriously.
Seeing this, Shi Tingyu replied sternly: "If you must buy it, I think just buy a watch."
Seeing what Lu Weiguo wanted to say, Shi Tingyu took his hand and said, "You really don't need to buy anything else. The current bicycles are all 28-inch bars, which are too high for me. Besides, don't you own one? As for I seldom do needlework as a sewing machine, so if I bought it, I would just leave it at home to gather dust.”
"What about the radio? You can use this at home." Lu Weiguo always felt that the gift was too little.
To be honest, Shi Tingyu didn't like listening to the radio either.
Today's radios are basically about news, current affairs and politics, or the children's program "Little Trumpet", or poetry recitations.
For Shi Tingyu, who came from the era of information explosion, these are not attractive to her.
Moreover, these things have a relatively short lifespan and are replaced quickly. There is really no need to buy them now.
So, she said to Lu Weiguo: "I don't like listening to the programs on the radio very much. I will buy it when the radio can listen to more programs in the future."
Seeing that she was sincere and not hypocritical, Lu Weiguo gave up the idea of buying them all and took her to the watch counter.
In the end, Shi Tingyu chose a Shanghai brand women's watch. The silver strap looked very nice on her wrist.
For some people, wearing a watch and showing off the watch makes them look dusty, like a nouveau riche who secretly wears jewelry.
For Shi Tingyu, wearing a watch complements each other.
Temperament is such a mysterious thing. If someone wears a famous brand, they will look fair and beautiful at first glance. But if someone wears a famous brand, others will think it is a high imitation.
Obviously Shitingyu is very suitable for wearing a watch.
Lu Weiguo looked at Shi Tingyu's fine white wrist, thinking that such a wrist would look good even with a piece of wool tied around it.
After buying the watch, Shi Tingyu seemed to have completely forgotten that there was a watch on her wrist and just did whatever she needed to do.
Lu Weiguo couldn't help but think that given her previous conditions, watches were definitely not that rare.
Nowadays, when people buy a watch, they have to roll up their sleeves.
He remembered that when his cousin who was a policeman bought a watch for the first time, he had to give the wrist wearing the watch an optimal position when taking pictures, regardless of whether the posture of showing the watch when taking pictures was weird or not.
Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo did some calculations before they came. In addition to the two of them, there were three company commanders, two battalion commanders, plus their first battalion instructor Feng Wei, and finally the second battalion commander’s daughter-in-law Zhang’s sister-in-law and Son Da Mao, a total of ten people.
One table is all set.
Shi Tingyu didn't want to make it complicated. Men can eat it. She doesn't make so many different dishes one after another. Dishes with beautiful presentation and small quantity are not suitable for now. Just make the same dish larger and taste better. More oil and water to ensure they eat happily.
According to the current level, five dishes and one soup are enough.
Her original menu included roasted pork with potatoes, braised pig's trotters, spicy scallops, chicken stewed with mushrooms, boiled fish, and finally the fish head of the boiled fish was made into fish head and tofu soup, and it was all together.
Who knew that she would actually see lobsters for sale at this time? Thinking about it, it is also early June, and the crayfish are indeed getting fatter.
Finally, she replaced the braised pork trotters with spicy crayfish.
The men probably drank some wine together, and eating crayfish with wine was very beautiful.
Lu Weiguo was a little surprised when he saw Shi Tingyu buying crayfish. He didn't expect that she would do this again.
When I was in the village before, I liked to fish for crayfish when there was nothing to eat in the summer. However, they all got them from outside for toothpaste, and the seasonings were limited, so the taste was very average.
But looking at the happy expression on his wife's face, I guess the crayfish made by her hands must taste good.
By the time all the ingredients were bought, it was almost past meal time.
The two went to a state-owned hotel for lunch before going back.
In the afternoon, Lu Weiguo returned to the camp to invite people.
Almost no one invites Shangguan to treat guests like this in a hot house, just for fear of gossip. Even if someone invites guests, ordinary Shangguan will not attend except under special circumstances.
Lu Weiguo directly skipped this step.
When they heard that Lu Wei's country was going to treat them, the few people who were still training immediately became excited.
Someone treating you means it's time for a big meal.
Sister-in-law Zhang heard the noise next door and went over to knock on the door.
Shi Tingyu quickly invited people in.
"Sister, Xiao Lu just told me that I'm here to help you." Sister-in-law Zhang said with a smile.
Shi Tingyu quickly thanked her: "Sister-in-law, it's really helpful for me to come here."
Sister-in-law Zhang helped peel potatoes here, and after inviting people over there, Lu Weiguo came back.
Shi Tingyu hurriedly said: "Weiguo, please help wash the crayfish and sixty-year-olds. After washing, put some salt and sesame oil on the sixty-year-olds to make them spit sand."
It is better to leave these two shelled ingredients to men to wash.
Without saying a word, Lu Weiguo took the lobster and sixty-year-old lobsters and went to the well to wash them.
Seeing Lu Weiguo's obedient appearance, Sister-in-law Zhang sighed to Shi Tingyu in a low voice, "I didn't expect Xiao Lu to listen to you so much. Sister, you are really good at it."
Shi Tingyu:......
Could she say that he himself was so obedient?
No, it's too Versailles.
After praising Lu Weiguo, Sister-in-law Zhang talked about her man again, "Our old man Zhang just has no life in his eyes, so he just screams and moves."
Shi Tingyu saw that Sister-in-law Zhang was disgusted, but the expression on her face was a bit soft, and the happiness in her eyes was still there, so she said: "Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. I heard Wei Guo say , Camp Commander Zhang is a family man, and whatever he eats outside, he will always leave a portion for you and your children."
Sister-in-law Zhang's heart suddenly became tense and she said with a smile, "That's all he has."
Lu Weiguo was listening to the conversation of the two women by the well, and couldn't help but smile.
He discovered that if his wife really wanted to make friends with someone, there was really nothing she couldn't win.
Her words always touch people's itch.
It's just that his wife is a little afraid of trouble and doesn't socialize much.
The lobsters and sixty-year-olds were washed. Lu Weiguo made the sixty-year-olds spit out sand according to Shi Tingyu's request, and the crayfish was also placed in the bucket.
Seeing that Lu Weiguo had finished washing, Shi Tingyu said, "Weiguo, bring the crayfish and help me get the scissors."
Lu Weiguo obediently did as he was told.
Sister-in-law Zhang said curiously: "Isn't this lobster already washed? Why do you still need scissors?"
She has also eaten lobsters, all of which were whole.
Shi Tingyu took the scissors that Lu Weiguo had brought back, picked up a crayfish and neatly cut off the head, and then removed the threads.
"The heads of crayfish are full of dirt, so they need to be cut off. The shrimp threads are also dirty, so just pull them out. This is a cleaner and more hygienic way to handle them."
Today's crayfish are all wild and not as clean as those specially farmed in later generations.
Sister-in-law Zhang looked like I understood.
"So it's still necessary."
After handling one, when Shi Tingyu was about to handle the second one, a pair of big hands stretched out from beside her and took her scissors.
"I'll do this, you go get the mushrooms."
Lu Weiguo felt dangerous when he saw the two large pincers of a lobster. Although he had never handled it like this, he knew how to handle it after seeing Shi Tingyu handle one.
With his hands empty, Shi Tingyu looked at Lu Weiguo and found that he had neatly cut off the shrimp heads. His big, calloused hands were holding the crayfish like a ball of cotton, and he handled the lobster without much effort.
This scene of handling ingredients is not pretty, but Shi Tingyu feels that both the picture and the composition are as if they are wrapped in a ball of light, which is very dazzling.
