It was very cold outside, and steam came out of my mouth as soon as I opened it. It was probably several degrees below zero.

It had just rained a little, and the rain flowed down along the bricks and tiles, forming long icicles before it hit the ground.

"Mom, let me help you." Liu Xiaojun said immediately when he saw Liu Huizhen washing rabbit meat by the well.

Liu Huizhen waved her hand: "No, there's only one last thing left to do."

"The backpack is heavy, isn't it? You're already slipping, and it would be bad if the backpack crushes you again."

"All right."

Liu Xiaojun took out the things he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and placed them on the table one by one.

We hunted rabbits yesterday and planned to eat spicy rabbit cubes.

Today I went to the street office to sell the pheasant and bought some ingredients to make spicy rabbit cubes.

Dried chili peppers, dried Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, and peanuts.

"Finally done." Liu Huizhen walked in with a basin of chopped rabbit meat and placed the basin on the black square table.

"Mom, why do you have so many chilblains on your hands?"

Liu Xiaojun felt bad when he saw the chilblains on Liu Huizhen's hands.

"Oh, who said it wasn't? It has been snowing these days and the weather is too cold." Liu Huizhen said in a low voice.

"Even Tangtang's hands were frozen like carrots."

"Mom, it's snowing heavily recently, and it's hard to find work outside. You should rest for a few days."

Liu Huizhen nodded. "Okay, I haven't found any work these past few days, so I might as well not go today and make you a rabbit fur scarf."

"Xiaojun, are these the seasonings you bought? They are so complete." Liu Huizhen said in surprise, pointing at the seasonings on the table.

Liu Xiaojun: "Yes, I plan to make spicy rabbit meat for lunch and cook two bowls of rice."

"Mom will make it. You just take a rest. I know how to make spicy rabbit cubes." Liu Huizhen's eyes lit up as she looked at all the seasonings.

Liu Xiaojun saw that Liu Huizhen really liked cooking, so he didn't insist: "Okay."

It has been snowing heavily recently, and a thick layer of ice has formed on the roadside. Everyone has started to prepare to stock up on food for the winter.

As soon as I came in from the gate of the courtyard, I saw the third uncle bought forty or fifty kilograms of cornmeal at one time.

The eldest and second uncles also carried large and small bags home.

The roads outside are difficult to walk on in winter, so they either go to work at the steel mill or stay at home to avoid slipping and falling.

Those who don't go to work have stored enough food for the whole winter and then stay at home.

Liu Huizhen has been looking for a job for several days in a row but hasn't found one.

I'm afraid days like this will continue until the beginning of spring.

It is still several months away from spring. Although the family has stored some food by hunting and fishing, that little food can't last more than two months.

What's more, as the weather gets colder, the animals in the mountains hibernate, making it even harder to hunt.

The ice on the water surface will become thicker and thicker, until it is too thick to break and fishing will be impossible.

By then, my way of making money will be cut off, and I'm afraid my family will start to run out of food again.

Liu Xiaojun sighed in his heart. He still had to make plans early to see if he could make a lot of money in the next few days and store enough food for the winter.

Liu Xiaojun opened the system panel and prepared to see what skills he had that could help him.

【Invincible Attribute Picking System】

[Name: Liu Xiaojun]

Age: 16

[Identity: Unemployed]

【Constitution: 1/10】

Strength: 3/10

[Skills: 1v4: Baking Master, lv.3: Hunting Skill [Advanced Skill Value: 500/4000], lv.3 Advanced Calligraphy, lv.2 Basic Fishing, lv.2 Novice Cooking, lv.1 Novice Locksmith, lv.1 Novice Fighter.]

Liu Xiaojun took a quick look and made up his mind.

lv.3: Hunting skill, currently the most valuable skill.

Hunting skills are currently at the advanced level. Advanced hunting skills can easily catch hares and pheasants, but if you want to catch larger prey, you must reach the lv.4 expert level.

According to the system prompts, once the hunting skill is upgraded to level 4, as long as there are wild boars in the mountains where you are, the probability of hunting wild boars is 100%.

According to the market conditions I saw at the pigeon market before, a wild boar weighing 100 kilograms, excluding the internal organs, would weigh at least 70 to 80 kilograms. You don't need a ticket for this, and you don't have to go to the meat processing plant to queue up for a spot to buy meat. It's very popular, and you can get at least 100 yuan if you sell it to the street office!

By then, won’t I have enough confidence to exchange for food for the winter?

However, in order to improve your hunting level, you still need to find prey that is very good at hunting wild boars.

This kind of hunter is hard to find in Pigeon City unless you have the time to wait for ten days or half a month.

However, Liu Xiaojun's family would run out of food in a few days, and he could not afford to take the risk.

This pigeon market cannot be found, but there is one place where you can definitely find it - that is the black market.

Only some small items are exchanged in the Pigeon Market, but the black market is different. Everything is available on the black market. Arms chiefs and antique jades are very common things there, not to mention a mere hunter.

I can’t care less.

Liu Xiaojun decided to take a risky move and go directly to the black market after lunch!

"The food is here~"

Soon, Liu Huizhen came in with a pot of fragrant rabbit meat.

The bright red peppers mixed with rabbit meat, the aroma of peppercorns, peppers and rabbit meat mixed together, you can't help drooling just by smelling it.

Tangtang couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to take it from the basin.

When Liu Xiaojun saw this, he knocked her hand with his chopsticks: "Tangtang, you forgot to wash your hands before dinner again!"
