Strange Cards

Chapter 284 Knitting a Sweater

Shiyu used a spoon to scrape off all the white meat from the remaining part of the fish's body, and threw away all the unusable scraps, including the red meat and fish skin.

Then Shiyu added some scallion and ginger seasoning water and salt, and threw the seasoned fish into the food processor.

The fish paste was quickly pounded out, and after Shiyu washed her hands, she pinched out the fish balls one by one and threw them into the boiling water pot next to her.

One by one, the fish balls took shape. Then, Shigure threw in the seaweed that had been prepared earlier, and poured the beaten egg liquid into the soup pot, forming golden egg flowers.

After finishing everything, Shigure threw in a handful of dried shrimp, added some salt for seasoning, tasted it and found it was about right, then added some white pepper powder, then threw in scallions, cilantro and other things, and then ladled out the whole pot of soup.

Liu An, meanwhile, carried over several other stir-fried dishes from another portable stove, placed them all on the table, and began to help Shi Yu finish up.

After everything was completed, everyone sat around the dining table, raised their glasses, drank heartily, and began to eat lunch.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone lingered in their seats under the warm sunshine, and began to doze off.

Shi Yu then instructed Jiu Ying to clean up the battlefield where they had left their food, and then went back to the base to take out several large blankets and spread them on the grass next to the fishpond before lying down.

Upon seeing the blanket, everyone rushed towards it, and then they all fell face-up.

Shiyu looked at the two people pressing down on her and shook her head helplessly. She then used the black hole to take a thin blanket, covered them with it, and fell asleep.

Shigure's sleep time was very short; she only slept for an hour before waking up.

After getting up, Shiyu had nothing to do, so she used a satellite to check the south and found no strange fluctuations. Then she asked Yanyun to buy some yarn and knitting supplies.

Shi Yanlan, who was lying on the blanket taking a nap in the sun, slowly woke up and saw a light yellow sweater next to Shi Yu.

There were two little yellow ducks on the sweater, and Shi Yanlan liked it as soon as she saw it.

Shi Yanlan picked up the sweater, walked over to Shi Yu's side, and asked.

"Brother, whose sweater is this?"

"I love it so much!"

Shigure was focused on knitting a white sweater, not even looking up.

"I knitted this for you."

"Try them on and see if they fit?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yanlan took off her hoodie and put on her sweater.

At this moment, Steel Claw brought over a full-length mirror. Shi Yanlan let her ponytail down, and her light yellow hair cascaded over her shoulders.

Looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, Shi Yanlan pounced on Shi Yu, rubbing her face against his.

Meanwhile, Shigure continued knitting the sweater with steady hands. When she reached the chest area, she took out two white cat dolls that she had prepared in advance from her pocket and knitted them onto the sweater.

Then Shigure finished finishing the sweater and set it aside.

Shi Yanlan looked at the sweater she was wearing and then at the sweater that was obviously meant for Bai Yu, and sat down in Shi Yu's lap.

"Brother, didn't you knit yourself a sweater?"

"How could you not have knitted one for yourself?"

Shiyu took out a gray sweater from the pile of yarn, and on the left chest of the sweater was a small weasel and a white cat.

"You're a child and you're afraid of the cold, but your older sister Baiyu is afraid of the cold too."

"I'll knit it for you both first, and then I'll wash and dry it for you tonight so you can wear it."

As Shi Yu spoke, she knitted two more pieces, and Shi Yanlan could tell from the size that they were for Qi Nannan and Liu Yu.

Everyone woke up one after another. Liu An looked at the sweater placed on her daughter and then glanced at Shi Yu, who was knitting there.

"Little Rain."

"How come you can knit such delicate things as sweaters?"

Shi Yu wiped her sweat and handed the knitted black sweater to Liu Andao.

"Skills I learned as a child."

"Back then, a sweater cost several tens of yuan, while two large balls of pure cotton yarn could be used to knit two sweaters for only a little over ten yuan. In order to save money, I learned to knit sweaters."

"Moreover, I had to wear a sweater every winter, and spending tens of yuan a year was not worthwhile for me, who was dirt poor at the time."

"So I learned how to knit sweaters from the old lady who sells yarn balls. I even made them two sizes bigger for myself, so that I could still wear them even after a year."

"Try it on and see if it fits."

Liu An put on the sweater and couldn't help but smile as she looked at it.

Yu Yan leaned over and pointed to Qi Nannan's pink sweater.

"Do we have any?"

Shi Yu pointed to Jiu Ying, who was knitting a sweater in the shadows, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"I've entrusted the weaving of yours to Jiuying."

"Forget about Xiaoqi's pink dress and Xiaojiu's light blue dress."

"Don't you even know your own size? I knitted that specifically for those two smaller sizes. Don't you know how big your size is and how difficult it is to knit a sweater?"

Yu Yan smiled awkwardly, and then quickly took the sweater in her hands after she finished knitting it.

Yu Yan buried her head in the sweater, inhaling the scent of sunshine.

"The smell of sunshine is still the best."

"A hand-knitted sweater outside costs at least a hundred yuan, and I can actually get this for free."

After Shiyu finished knitting the sweaters for Jiuying, she handed them to everyone. Then she put the sweaters away.

"If you want to knit a sweater, just bring your ball of yarn and come find me."

"By the way, the smell of sunshine you mentioned is actually the smell of dead mites."

"Bai Yu, Miao Miao, it's time to go back to your room."

Bai Yu, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed, so she simply grabbed the sweater and jumped onto Shi Yu's back.

Shiyu felt the weight behind her and used her hand to support Baiyu's thigh to prevent her from falling.

After returning to the room, Shigure tossed Baiyu into the beanbag chair, turned on the hot water, and started washing the sweater.

Shi Yanlan moved a small stool and sat next to Shi Yu, looking at the profile of the girl who was seriously taking notes on a sweater.

"elder brother."

"Why did you still make Bai Yu your girlfriend even though she calls you 'master'?"

Shi Yu paused for a moment, then patted Shi Yanlan's head.

"Feelings are the hardest thing to talk about in this world."

"I don't have many reasons for choosing you, Sister Baiyu, there's only one."

"The reason is that her name is Bai Yu, Bai as in 'Xiao Bai' (little white) and Yu as in 'Shi Yu' (time rain)."

"If your brother really wanted to find a girlfriend better than your sister Bai Yu, it would be so easy. I wouldn't even need to say anything; I could just wave my hand and countless women would come rushing to my door."

"But I won't be promiscuous; relationships only require two people."

Of all the waters in the world, I only drink from one.
