Chapter 118 Don’t go to the beach to catch seafood recently
"No need, I'll just dry some myself when the time comes. Sister Hu, you can keep it for yourself." Jiang Yushan said a little embarrassedly.
She has farmed seafood in her space, so if she wants to eat it, she can just catch it directly, without having to go through the trouble of drying it.
"Hey, you teach us cooking, so what's wrong with giving you some dry goods?" Hu Xiaowen glared at her, "If you say that, you're treating me as an outsider!"
"Okay, thank you, Sister Hu." Jiang Yushan smiled and changed the subject, "I bought some fruit seeds not long ago and want to plant them."
"Fruit seeds? What are they?" When Hu Xiaowen heard the word fruit seeds, she looked a little worried.
There are actually quite a lot of fruits suitable for growing on the island, such as bananas, mangoes, pineapples, etc. Many people grow these and they are sold at cheap prices.
So if you want to eat it, just buy some yourself.
As for growing fruit, no one in the family compound has mentioned it yet, mainly because there is no experience.
After all, growing fruits is not like growing vegetables, and it is also troublesome to take care of them.
"Cherries, plums, and some strawberry seeds." Jiang Yushan showed the seeds he brought to Hu Xiaowen.
He only selected three kinds of fruits and didn't take them all out.
If there are too many varieties, it will be troublesome to plant them, and Hu Xiaowen may not agree to plant them.
These are just experiments first. If they can be grown, she will take out other seeds. By then, Hu Xiaowen will agree to plant them without any persuasion!
"Ah... why did you buy these seeds? Didn't the seed seller tell you that these seeds are not suitable for island planting? It's one thing that they can't survive, but even if they grow, they won't taste good, they'll be very sour!" What Hu Xiaowen worried about happened, "You must have been cheated."
"Where did you buy the seeds? Come on, I'll take you to return the seeds!" Hu Xiaowen said angrily.
"Hey... Sister Hu, don't be impulsive. The person selling the seeds told me about this. I wanted to buy them myself and give it a try." Jiang Yushan hurriedly pulled her back.
Hu Xiaowen's reaction was a little different from what she expected. She thought Hu Xiaowen would support her.
"When these fruit seeds were first obtained, it's not that no one had tried to grow them, but no one had ever succeeded. Even if they did, the fruits were small and sour. Even pregnant women couldn't eat them. They had an astringent taste and were very unpalatable!"
"Just listen to Sister Hu's advice and don't waste your time. If you really want to grow some fruit, just plant some bananas and mangoes. They all grow well here." Hu Xiaowen advised earnestly.
Based on past experience, she was very sure what the result would be after planting the seeds, and she didn't want Jiang Yushan to suffer this loss.
"Sister Hu, I want to give it a try. I have grown fruits before and have experience. Besides, I like to eat these fruits." Jiang Yushan looked at Hu Xiaowen eagerly.
Hu Xiaowen: “…”
She was good-looking to begin with, and as she looked at him with her bright eyes, Hu Xiaowen was unable to say no.
"Okay, then, if you want to try, then try it. But don't be sad if you can't grow it." Hu Xiaowen sighed helplessly.
Looking at Jiang Yushan, she suddenly had the illusion that she had a new daughter, and she was really worried about her.
"Okay, thank you Sister Hu!" Jiang Yushan was happy. He took Hu Xiaowen's arm affectionately and walked out of the staff quarters.
There is a special area in the family compound for the military wives to grow crops, so the place is very large. There is also a large open space next to the vegetable area, which is enough for Jiang Yushan to grow these fruits.
"You know what, your seeds are really good, big and full. How come they are different from the seeds I have seen before? Maybe they can really be grown?" Hu Xiaowen then noticed that the seeds she took out were very unusual.
"I always pick the best seeds." Jiang Yushan patted his chest.
The seeds grown with spiritual spring water are the best.
"Okay, I'll go get you some water." After Hu Xiaowen accompanied Jiang Yushan in digging some holes, she took the initiative to take on the task of fetching water.
Because we grow vegetables here, we dug a well, so it is quite convenient to get water.
Jiang Yushan responded, and after planting the seeds, he first quietly watered the seeds with spiritual spring water, and then buried the seeds with soil.
After a while, Hu Xiaowen fetched some water. The cool well water seemed to have dropped the temperature around.
"This amount of water may not be enough. I'll go fetch some more." Hu Xiaowen looked at the amount, put down the water and went back to the well.
While Hu Xiaowen was away, Jiang Yushan immediately added spiritual spring water into the water, and then watered the land where the seeds were planted to moisten it.
With the spiritual spring water, Jiang Yushan felt that these seeds could definitely be grown, and the fruits would not be sour and astringent.
"I hope your seeds can really grow." Looking at the watered ground, Hu Xiaowen also looked forward to it sincerely.
Although she was not very optimistic about this, she still didn't want to see Jiang Yushan fail.
After the two of them worked here for a while, they prepared to return home.
……
"I heard that this time, some soldiers' wives went out to sea for a mission, and the place they were going was quite far away. That must be dangerous, right?" In the vegetable garden, several soldiers' wives had just finished their work and gathered together to gossip.
The matter of Huo Ci leading the troops into battle this time was a big deal, after all, he was going to expel Xiao Rizi, and the family compound also knew about it.
"How can this mission not be dangerous?" said another military wife with darker skin.
They are all military wives. The men in their families have all been on missions, and they have all experienced the stage of worrying at home.
But after doing it many times, they are not as nervous as they were at the beginning.
"This mission is different from usual ones. I heard they brought lethal weapons this time." Liu Chunhong said mysteriously among these military wives.
Today she came with these military wives to the vegetable garden to weed and pick some vegetables to cook.
Because her husband is the battalion commander, Liu Chunhong knows more than these military wives. Plus, she loves gossip, so when she hears the discussion, it is impossible for her not to participate.
"Ah? What weapon?" a military wife asked curiously.
"I don't know about that, but I heard that they are very important weapons in the army. And the superiors attach great importance to this mission. They even dismissed the fishermen on the beach and did not allow them to go out to sea." Liu Chunhong added, "My husband led a team to dismiss the fishermen not long ago, and specifically told me not to go to the beach to catch seafood recently."
The army did not explain this matter, they just prohibited people from going out to sea, but did not restrict people from going to the beach.
But in Liu Chunhong's case, perhaps her family members were worried, so she said a few more words, but this was undoubtedly an act that could easily cause panic.
"What? We can't even go to the beach? This mission is indeed very dangerous..." The military wife next to him couldn't help but get nervous when she heard this.
If Liu Chunhong hadn't said it, they wouldn't have known such specific circumstances.
"Yeah, luckily my husband didn't go." Liu Chunhong said with some relief.
If her man had gone, she wouldn't feel so safe coming out to pick vegetables now.
