After two trips, Shen Mu Ning finally managed to move all the vegetables to the educated youth settlement. She bought these vegetables to dry herself.

The vegetables grown in the backyard of the educated youth settlement were harvested together by the people who ate with them.

Today, I'll first wash and slice all the vegetables that I'm going to dry, and then blanch them in a large pot of water in the kitchen.

When Shen Mu Ning returned, they had already washed most of the vegetables.

Seeing this, Shen Mu Ning also washed the eggplants, loofahs, cowpeas, and other vegetables she had bought.

Because Shen Mu Ning doesn't really like eggplant and dried loofah, she eats these two vegetables relatively infrequently.

Moreover, since both of these vegetables need to be sliced, Shen Mu Ning doesn't have as much work to do.

Afterwards, Shen Mu Ning used the large pot at the educated youth settlement to blanch all the vegetables in one go.

Just hang them on the bamboo poles used for drying clothes. They'll dry in about two or three days under the hot sun and then be bagged.

After a flurry of activity, everyone at the educated youth settlement had finally finished drying the vegetables.

Looking at the bamboo poles drying in the sun, Dingxiang couldn't help but say happily, "Finally, we won't have to eat radishes and cabbage every day this winter."

The other educated youth smiled knowingly upon hearing her words; they were truly sick of eating radishes and cabbages.

"However, this is probably not enough for us to eat, is it?" Zhuang Xue looked at the number of educated youth and then at the vegetables.

"It's not enough, but we can exchange some back at the brigade."

They have 13 mouths to feed, so these vegetables are hardly enough.

"We can harvest two or three more batches of vegetables in the backyard. Once this batch of vegetables is dried, you can exchange them at the brigade office. I see that Aunt Guihua's family has a lot of vegetables they can't finish eating."

"Yes, we used to exchange vegetables in the brigade. Families that were even slightly diligent would never lack vegetables."

Zhu Yang thought about how many times they had changed their dishes in the brigade before, and now they could do it again.

"By the way, Dingxiang, when we're making kimchi tomorrow, Aunt Guihua said she'd like to learn how. Do you think that's okay?"

Shen Mu Ning thought that Aunt Guihua wanted to learn how to make kimchi, so she decided to talk to Ding Xiang first.

"Sure, there's no secret recipe. Just add salt, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and chili peppers."

Dingxiang didn't take this seriously. Every household in Sichuan province knew how to make it, and it wasn't a secret that was kept hidden. Naturally, she could teach it to others.

Shen Mu Ning nodded. She knew there was no secret recipe, but since she had promised to send people to the educated youth settlement, she should at least give them a heads-up beforehand.

After everyone finished their work, it was already dark.

Today, everyone went through the process of handling prohibited items and drying vegetables, a physically and mentally exhausting workout.

Using the firewood in the pot after blanching the vegetables, everyone heated up bathwater, quickly took a bath, and went to bed.

As for Shen Mu Ning, she continued to cultivate her supernatural abilities in bed until midnight.

She felt that her wood-based superpower was about to break through, and she needed to find time to enter the mountains and forests to meditate and break through.

After that, she fed the chickens and rabbits as usual, and killed two of the first male rabbits she had caught.

Her little rabbits are all growing up, and once they've grown up and reproduced, she won't lack rabbit meat to eat.

A happy person processed the rabbits in the space and made them into meat sauce.

She only needs to stir-fry some vegetables and mix them with meat sauce in a bowl every day, and it's delicious.

Shen Mu Ning felt that having only rabbit meat was a bit monotonous and that she needed to enrich the variety of animals in the space as soon as possible.

Shen Mu Ning drifted off to sleep, dreaming of eating meat to her heart's content.

The next day, Shen Mu Ning, who had slept soundly until dawn, woke up feeling refreshed.

The Johor Bahru brigade grows relatively few potatoes, and the potatoes in the brigade's fields were all harvested yesterday, so they are changing jobs today.

Shen Mu Ning had heard from Aunt Guihua that their job today was to harvest corn.

Shen Mu Ning then pulled out her long-sleeved shirt and trousers and put them on. She held a headscarf in her hand, and a sickle was also in her medium-sized basket.

The educated youth, dressed in uniform, marched into the cornfield with an air of menace (not really).

Listening to their squad leader announce the scoring rules, they realized that picking corn in four rows earned one point, and carrying corn in two trips earned one work point.

Upon hearing the rules, Shen Mu Ning took the lead and walked to the edge of the cornfield. Seeing this, the others quickly distanced themselves from Shen Mu Ning, leaving her enough space for forty rows.

Harvesting corn is a task that only requires physical strength and does not require any special skills.

Shen Mu Ning moved quickly through the cornfield, and since no one was talking to her, she was even faster.

Shen Mu Ning carried her basket on her back, carrying corn to the edge of the field time and time again.

The original plan was for one strong laborer to be responsible for picking corn, but she was too fast.

Left with no other choice, squad leader Gu Xiangyang arranged for someone to carry the corn she had picked.

Just like that, by ten o'clock, Shen Mu Ning had finished picking all forty rows of corn, and the number of people carrying the corn for her had increased from two to four.

The squad leader came over to record the work points, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

However, this area was specially reserved by the other aunties, who thought that Shen Mu Ning could usually earn ten work points in the morning.

So everyone else directly set aside corn for Shen Mu Ning according to the ten work points system.

Gu Xiangyang looked at Shen Mu Ning, who was still refreshed despite doing so much work, and then thought about how the strong laborers had been exhausted just to keep up with Shen Mu Ning's corn-picking speed.

There was only one thought: what kind of monster was Shen Mu Ning made of?

"Hey, Shen Zhiqing, how come you can work so fast?" Gu Xiangyang was puzzled. Shen Zhiqing's small frame didn't look like she had much strength.

But how come she can do so much work so quickly now?
