Zhou Huaian walked into the woodshed and said to Su Qingxue, "No need for you. I promised that I would clean up, and I will definitely not let you get tired."

He went straight into the vegetable shed and carried out two backpacks.

All the internal organs alone filled the two backpacks to the brim.

"I'll pack these things and send them to you when I'm done. You can have a good rest."

He simply put one backpack on his back and signaled to Sun Rui beside him with his eyes, asking him to be more conscious and carry the other one.

Sun Rui felt that he had made the wrong choice of friends. What else could he do? He could only listen to him and carry the backpack on his back.

"Qingxue, after we put it away, come back and load the meat. It will be quick. Just wait for us for two minutes."

After saying that, he went out directly from the back door, walked around the main house in front, and went to the back door of their backyard.

Su Qingxue felt that he spoke too fast. Before she could finish her words, he had already disappeared.

However, the efficiency with which this kind of work is done is still quite pleasing.

I really hope he will rush to help me work all his life, so that I can be a lazy guy, doing nothing every day in that crappy job, or just lying at home eating melon seeds.

Oh, you can’t eat the melon seeds because they haven’t been planted yet!

But that means the kind of person who has nothing to do.

At this time, Su Qingxue was the only one in the yard.

Coming to the pile of meat strips, I looked at the evenly divided meat and wondered what dish I should make with them.

There is also some pork fat on the side. I took out about ten pounds of it last time. I will ask Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui if they want to take some over later.

It's not as convenient for them as it is for them to eat the oil themselves. After all, they are busy all the time, so they always have to ask.

After the two people came back, Su Qingxue asked them directly if they wanted pork fat.

"If you want some, just take some. I went to the commune some time ago and used some connections to buy ten kilograms of oil. So I'm not short of oil here. It depends on whether you two need any."

In the end, each of them took five pounds of lard.

Sun Rui insisted on paying, including for the meat he had selected and was going to take back after it was smoked, and he paid according to the black market price.

Su Qingxue was not so bold as to take so much money. After all, he and Zhou Huaian were good friends, and he was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others' misfortune.

Although suet is particularly hard to come by and relatively more expensive, the price is not too outrageous.

Su Qingxue wanted to sell Sun Rui 50 cents per pound. After all, he had been busy here for so long, so it was only right that he should be given a discount.

But Sun Rui said it was too cheap and it had to be two yuan per pound. Sometimes, you couldn't even get a chance to buy something at these two yuan per pound because it had already been sold out internally.

The two people argued endlessly and looked at Zhou Huaian on the side.

In the end, Zhou Huaian chose a more moderate price, one dollar per pound of lard. Now neither of them said anything because they felt this was quite fair.

Only Su Qingxue felt that she had not thanked him properly. He had been busy here for such a long time and collected so much money. She always felt a little embarrassed.

Finally I agreed.

However, Su Qingxue did not allow them to sell the strips of meat at the black market price, and directly sold them at 70 cents per pound.

Sometimes, domestic pigs may not be sold at such a high price, only a few cents per pound, so in the end it is still a bargain.

The two men were quite generous, each carrying nearly 50 kilograms of meat.

If all of them are smoked, this bacon is still very popular considering that meat is so hard to buy nowadays.

After they caught all the meat in one trip, the two men prepared to say goodbye and go back to pack the meat.

"Qingxue, after we leave, please quickly lock the door to the backyard. It's best not to open the door to anyone who comes. If they really want to talk to you about something, just let them go to the front door. Otherwise, I really don't feel at ease."

Su Qingxue nodded quickly, wishing he would leave immediately, as he became more and more talkative.

I don't know where he gets so much to say. He's really talkative, which doesn't match his previous image at all. I feel a little cheated.

After everyone left, I locked the door to the backyard and prepared to pack up the freight and take a rest.

While I was cleaning up, I suddenly saw pheasants and rabbits piled in the very corner of the woodshed.

Only then did they remember the pheasants and rabbits, and they were completely forgotten about by the three of them.

It won’t go bad anyway, so just leave it there for now!

If Zhou Huaian comes back to get it, I will send it over and let him continue to pack it. If he doesn't come to get it, I will just leave it there for the time being. It's so cold anyway, it doesn't matter if I leave it there for a while.

There was no knock on the door the whole afternoon, so Su Qingxue knew that the two men must have forgotten about their little prey.

She sat on the kang the whole afternoon and took out a few books at random, all in preparation for copying the books, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

It's just that I'm quite hungry. I felt like my mouth never stopped eating this afternoon. When I was thirsty, I just drank malted milk. I felt like I had spent this afternoon in a very relaxing way.

I spent the entire afternoon listening to the noise outside, but it was all in vain.

Fortunately, I had copied a lot of content in the manuscript, so this afternoon's time was not completely useless.

Su Qingxue guessed that the two of them were not only going to pickle the bacon, but might also clean out the internal organs.

Otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to come.

Generally, people who have just started dating would like to stick together all the time.

Judging from how clingy Zhou Huaian was this morning, he would not leave his side unless something held him back.

Thinking that he might be squatting in the snow, cleaning up the internal organs, I wondered whether I should cook dinner for them.

After all, I'm always busy, so I don't have time to cook.

What's more, those internal organs are quite smelly. After spending an entire afternoon cleaning them up, your sense of smell must not be as sensitive as before!

If they were asked to wait until dark to cook, they probably wouldn't have an appetite to eat.

Putting herself in other people's shoes, Su Qingxue felt that she already had the answer in her heart.

I put all the books on the kang into the space and wondered what meal to cook in the evening to reward them both.

First, I took out about 20 kilograms of flour from the space, mixed it with about one-third of corn flour, and prepared to make them all into steamed buns with two-grain flour.
