Ginger vinegar juice is the kind of dipping sauce used when eating crabs at home. Adding vinegar to the minced ginger not only enhances the flavor, but also warms the stomach and sterilizes.
Most seafood is cold in nature, and inland people are not used to it. If you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. The easiest way is to drink high-alcohol liquor. In the previous life, when Sun Dahai ate seafood, he drank at least half a kilogram of liquor each time, and he also had to choose high-alcohol drinks.
.
But now that he is only twelve years old, drinking like that is a bit shocking, and his body may not be able to handle it. So he can only drink ginger and vinegar juice to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
It is said that eating garlic has the same effect, but Sun Dahai has never tried it and does not know the effect.
Gao Zhizhi felt good now after eating oysters so fiercely, but he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable after a while. So Sun Dahai forced her to drink ginger and vinegar juice, which was actually for her own good.
A group of children celebrated a birthday, which was not very particular. Sun Dahai saw that everyone had almost finished eating, so he and Battelle took out the big cake and lit candles.
Then Gao Yi was asked to make a wish and blow out the candles. Everyone sang Happy Birthday together and completed the whole ceremony lively.
Gao Xiaoshou Xing cut the cake and distributed it to everyone one by one. Sun Dahai has always disliked the act of smearing his face with cake. All the good food was wasted and everyone was covered in it.
Fortunately, there are only a very small number of people in China who can eat birthday cakes, and I have never seen anyone spend their money like this.
After finishing the Western-style cake, Sun Dahai ran to the kitchen and stretched a small piece of oil noodles to form a long noodle, making a small bowl of longevity noodles for Gao Yi, the birthday boy today.
Sun Dahai brought the noodles to Gao Yi and asked her not to bite off the noodles but to eat them in one bite for good luck. Gao Yi followed Sun Dahai's instructions, finished the noodles from beginning to end and sucked it into his mouth.
The friends clapped and applauded nearby. I don’t know who started it. Everyone took out the gifts they had prepared and lined up to give them to Gao Yi.
The people here, except for Battelle, are all students. In this era, when students give birthday gifts to each other, they are all based on their ability, and there is little competition. There is no custom of giving gifts or very expensive gifts.
Everyone is accustomed to making small handicrafts as gifts, and those who are clumsy have no choice but to give books with blessing words as gifts.
It was Zhang Yujie's turn. She gave Gao Yi a white silk handkerchief with the words "Happy Birthday, 1" embroidered on the corner.
Sun Dahai knew that this handkerchief was bought by Zhang Yujie when she and Sun Dahai went to the Friendship Store and exchanged her New Year's money for foreign exchange coupons from Sun Dahai.
The handkerchiefs are produced by the Suzhou Silk Factory and are exclusively for export. They are not expensive, but they are not sold on the market.
Sun Dahai originally wanted to buy it for her, but she was so brave that she insisted on using her New Year's money to buy it. At that time, Zhang Yujie bought two in total, one for herself and the other for Gao Yi today.
However, judging from her sneaky look and her shady past, Sun Dahai seriously doubted that she had embroidered it herself.
Finally it was Sun Dahai's turn, and he had already prepared it. He knitted a red Chinese knot and gave it to Gao Yi. This Chinese knot was not big and could be worn with you or kept in your wallet.
Gao Yi was so happy. At the age of ten, she had never celebrated her birthday in such a lively way, with so many friends sending birthday gifts.
Gao Yi was so excited that he hugged Sun Dahai and kissed him on the face.
Amidst the cheers of her friends, Gao Yi realized what she had done. She forced herself to calm down and pretended to be natural. However, the effect seemed not to be ideal, even the tips of her ears turned pink.
.
After all, Sun Dahai and Gao Yi were six years apart in age. In everyone's eyes, in Sun Dahai's circle, Battelle was the eldest brother and Gao Yi was the eldest sister, and they had been taking care of them silently.
Everyone.
After the birthday party was over, everyone worked together to clean up the mess. Afterwards, those who had other things to do said goodbye to everyone and left one after another, including Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan is Jiang Peng's cousin. She is in the same class as Gao Yi and has now finished the college entrance examination. According to her usual results, there is no problem in Qingbei. It just depends on which department she can be assigned to in the end.
She performed normally in this college entrance examination, so after celebrating Gao Yi's birthday, she prepared to go home and wait for the admission notice. Logically speaking, since she is a native of the capital, the admission notice from Qingbei should come out within the next two days.
Now Sun Dahai has a larger circle of friends, not just his classmates and neighbors. Although everyone is a student, the age gap is not small.
For example, Ma Jian, who was born in 1969, was already a freshman in high school when he started school. Xia Yuanyuan, whom he met at the same time, was three years younger than Sun Dahai.
Speaking of Xia Yuanyuan, she came jumping up and down.
"Brother Dahai, what shall we do later?"
"Oh, it's a hot day, why don't we go see a movie? I just don't know what good movies are available now," Sun Dahai replied.
Too much time had passed, and he had no impression of the movies of the 1900s. But speaking of it, the movies of this era were really in full bloom, and it was very interesting to watch them occasionally.
"Okay, okay! There is a movie called The Girl in Red, which is said to be very good. I had to review my homework and prepare for the final exam a while ago, so I haven't watched it.
Let's go see this movie today. I read the newspaper this morning, and the Capital Cinema is showing it all day long, so let's go to the Capital Cinema." She shook Sun Dahai's hand, as if she would cry if she didn't agree.
Posture.
It seemed that Xia Yuanyuan had planned it in advance and even checked where the movie would be shown in advance. But speaking of it, it is more comfortable to watch movies in the Capital Cinema in summer. Because there is air conditioning here, the ticket price is slightly higher, but Sun Dahai doesn't care.
There are more than a dozen people going to see a movie. The pickup truck will definitely not be able to accommodate them, so a truck will be enough.
But everyone was not so squeamish, and while chatting and laughing, we went to squeeze into the bus and went to watch a movie in a group.
In the following days, Gao Yi obtained his probationary driver's license after passing the road test. Under Zheng Peipei's guidance, he began to prepare his luggage for Xiangjiang.
In fact, everything is available in Xiangjiang, so there is no need to prepare too much here. But when the girls get together, they naturally want to go shopping. If they use this as an excuse, others can't say anything.
Zheng Peipei is used to the bustling shopping malls in Xiangjiang and the dazzling array of products from all over the world. Where can I buy something that I have to buy in the capital?
However, she was very interested in the grocery stalls at Guanyuan Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market, and bought a lot of miscellaneous things there.
Sun Dahai discovered her little hobby and took them to several other smaller second-hand markets. Zheng Peipei still did the same thing, buying a lot of second-hand goods and listening to stories that filled her head.
Small plates and bowls, folding fans and snuff bottles, as well as inkstones and vases. Anyway, they are all small things that cost three to five yuan, but each one seems to be a little old.
She doesn't even care about the items that the stall owner offers at a high price, or items that look relatively new, and just sell them away.11
