When it was finally time to get off work, I quickly stuffed the sunflower seeds on the other side into my pocket, and when no one was paying attention, I put them back into the space.

I plan to wait until next year to make seeds. The number won’t be large, probably only about 20 to 30 seeds.

If all of them could survive, they would definitely produce a lot of sunflower seeds.

There are still people keeping watch here at night, but they are all gay men.

After all, this factory is a little close to the mountains. Although there is a shortcut back after the road was built, there are always concerns about safety, so there are four to five or five to six people on duty here every day.

When going back today, Su Qingxue took a detour. The harvest from that trap has been getting less and less during this period.

It is speculated that it may be because it has been too long and the trap has been contaminated with the scent of other animals, or too many animals have disappeared here and everyone has changed direction.

Although there are already several wild boars, deer and sheep in the space, there is never too much meat.

So she decided to dig another trap in another place.

The most important thing is that after two months of consumption, the fish caught in the river were finally eaten up.

While preparing to dig the trap, I went to the reservoir to fish.

The fishing net in the space has not been used since I bought it. If the weather gets colder, I am always worried that the reservoir will freeze, so I take this opportunity to catch some fish.

After all, the fish to be eaten during the Chinese New Year must be prepared in advance.

Besides, Zhou Huaian had entrusted his grandfather and the others to him, so he couldn't treat them unfairly.

He also knew that Zhou Huaian would never let him suffer a loss, so it didn't matter if he ate better, after all, someone would pay for it.

Although Su Qingxue had some unclear thoughts in her heart, she couldn't be asked to pay for it herself. She was not the kind of person who would suffer losses.

Don’t worry about what will happen to the two of them in the future. Right now, nothing has been decided yet, so you just can’t suffer any loss.

The original road was through deep mountains and forests, but after a factory was built inside, the road became much easier to walk on.

In less than half an hour, we arrived at the reservoir.

I first went to check the location of the original trap. There was a wild boar weighing about 70 or 80 kilograms inside. I didn’t expect that an animal would run out in such cold weather.

First collect the prey, then fill the trap and find a new place to dig the trap.

I used a hatchet to cut a lot of sharp spikes and inserted them underneath. I took out all the animal viscera stored in the space and threw them under the trap. I covered the surface with something and planned to wait until I got off work tomorrow to see if I had any gains.

Su Qingxue felt that tomorrow would not disappoint her. After all, with so many animal organs stuffed in, the bloody smell would surely spread far away and would definitely attract those carnivores.

He clapped his hands and went straight to the reservoir to wash his hands.

The water in the reservoir is so cold that it feels like it will freeze my fingers off.

I found a relatively comfortable place to stand and threw some animal organs into the water.

Want to try to see if making a nest can attract those fish?

After a while, he took out the fishing net and threw it directly to the place where the nest was made.

Maybe because few people feed them, those fish seem so stupid.

You can clearly feel the weight coming from the other side when the net is being pulled.

If she wasn't strong enough, Su Qingxue felt that she might not be able to pull it. It must have weighed at least 100 to 200 kilograms.

After being pulled ashore, the fish quickly froze to death.

Just pick them up and put them into the space, leaving out none of them, big or small.

Then start throwing the second net.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened and there were almost a thousand kilograms of fish in the space that Su Qingxue cleaned the net and put it away.

It is always dangerous to be in the deep mountains and forests at night. It won’t take long to get back if you go fast.

When we returned to the educated youth site, it was already dark and the site was now populated. The lights were on in all the female educated youth's houses, except Su Qingxue's. But in the male educated youth's house, except for Zhang Jianguo's house, all other houses were dark.

Ever since a factory was built there, Erhe Village has benefited a bit and started using electricity more than ten years earlier.

However, most people are still reluctant to use it at home. They are simply unwilling to spend a few cents on electricity every month and would rather continue to use kerosene lamps.

Only the educated youth sites were willing to spend the money, after all, they all had jobs and didn't mind spending a few cents.

Su Qingxue quietly entered the house from the back door and took out ten fish from the space. She planned to cut them open and marinate them tonight, and then hang them on the stove to smoke them tomorrow.

The smoked fish is also very delicious. I specifically picked the three-pound one, which I felt was just the right weight, neither too big nor too small.

I returned to the house, turned on the light and started cooking. I had been outside for so long that my stomach was already growling with hunger.

Take out the little pig in the space. The meat of the little pig is more tender and tastes better when cooked. It is unlike those big wild boars, whose meat is rather tough.

Cook the rice first, then kill the piglet with a knife.

Although it is called a piglet, it actually weighs about 70 or 80 kilograms.

As the number of times she took action increased, Su Qingxue's speed became faster and faster.

By the time the meal was ready, the whole wild boar had been slaughtered.

I took a piece of the tenderest pork belly and prepared to cook the braised pork and then stir-fry some vegetables.

We still need to eat some green vegetables in winter. Those vegetables stored in the summer are now useful.

After Su Qingxue's continuous cooking practice over the past few months, the food has improved in color, aroma and taste, and is much more delicious than at the beginning.

What's more, she has no shortage of supplies and seasonings, and there are so many good things, so she can do whatever she wants and her skills are getting better and better.

When making braised pork, the aroma wafts out directly.

Nowadays, people may be short of money, so everyone has a very sensitive nose.

No one with any shame would come here, unless they are really greedy and come to ask if there is any extra meat to exchange?

Su Qingxue has changed a lot. Since she went to the countryside, she has never spent the money brought by her family, and she even earned almost 200 yuan.

The 200 yuan was exchanged for meat from the educated youth. Anyway, everyone came to Su Qingxue to exchange meat, so they were all tied to the same rope, and there was no need to worry that they would report her.

The braised pork will be more flavorful if it is simmered for a while. While the meat is simmering, you can pick various vegetables directly in the space.

Finally, I took out two cucumbers and prepared to make a cold cucumber salad.

If you get tired of eating meat, you can also eat some vegetables to change the taste.

After the dishes were cooked, they were served directly to the kang table, along with a bowl of rice and half a bowl of dried radish.

Su Qingxue felt that she had learned half of Grandma Zhang's skills, and her dried radish was particularly delicious.
