Su Tian went into her room, took the money and tickets, and then went downstairs to drive her car to the department store.

After parking her car, she went into the department store and started shopping.

She first went to the food section and saw various canned goods on the shelves, and without hesitation, she took several cans of meat.

Then I saw many local specialties from Guangdong Province, such as egg rolls, chicken biscuits, almond cookies, blind man's biscuits, wife cakes, water chestnut cakes, and rice cakes. I bought six of each.

I also saw many distinctive fruit candies from Guangdong Province, including hard fruit candies, lychee-flavored, coconut-flavored, and orange-flavored ones, as well as milk candies, filled candies, crisp candies, chicken-shaped olive candies, and mint candies.

She asked the sales clerk to weigh out some for her, and bought six portions in total.

As she strolled along, her eyes lit up and she burst into laughter.

Because she saw the famous Guangzhou sausage brand, Huangshanghuang, she also took six bags.

After the sales clerk calculated the price, Su Tian paid the money and the receipt, then carried her things out of the department store.

She put her things in the car, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat and vegetables, and drove home.

After Su Tian returned home with her purchases, she reorganized them, set aside one portion, and mailed the rest.

Three copies were sent to Songjia Village, one copy was sent to Song Zhe's family in Beijing, and the remaining copy was sent to Song Zhe himself.

It's all her fault for forgetting; she didn't buy Song Zhe any local specialties from Guangdong Province to take back with him.

After sorting the items, Su Tian went back to her room and wrote two letters. One was to Liu Chunni, asking her to help deliver the items to Grandpa Chen and her uncle Wang Shao.

The other letter was written to Song Zhe, filled with her love and longing for him. She told him to eat and sleep on time and to take good care of himself when he went on missions.

Su Tian carefully sealed the letters and packages, picked up the meat she had just bought, went downstairs, rode her bicycle, and arrived at the post office five minutes later.

After she mailed the items, she sped up and rode her bike to her grandmother's house.

When she arrived at her grandmother's house, Su Tian happily called out, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm here."

"Sweetie, you're here. Where's that young man, Xiao Song?"

Su Tian pushed open the door and went in, smiling as she said, "Grandma, he went back to the camp today; his vacation is over."

Grandma, I remember you said you knew how to make meat sauce, didn't you? Do you have time to teach your granddaughter how to make meat sauce?

"Hehe...Grandma has time every day. Now that I'm teaching you, you've already brought the meat. Even if Grandma doesn't have time, she'll have to make time."

"Grandma, you're so good to me, you love me so much."

Grandma, here are five more bottles of pills. You and Grandpa can keep them and take them slowly, one a day, okay?

"Okay, I understand. Ever since I took these pills, I've been sleeping and eating well, and I feel great."

Grandma Su took the pills into the room, put them away, and then went to the kitchen.

"Sweetie, first wash the meat and chop it into minced meat. Grandma has all kinds of seasonings here."

"good."

Su Tian immediately got busy as soon as she entered the kitchen, and she chopped the meat.

"Grandma will teach you how to make two kinds of meat sauce today. One is fried meat sauce, and the other is soybean paste meat sauce."

"The ingredients for this fried meat sauce are: dried yellow soybean paste, scallions, ginger, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, vegetable oil, and sugar."

So, Su Tian followed her grandmother's instructions step by step.

"These are all very simple. Sweetie, you just need to stir-fry the seasonings until they are dry and fragrant, then add the meat and stir-fry it together for a few seconds. Add an appropriate amount of water and simmer over low heat for twenty minutes."

"Making meat sauce with soybean paste is even simpler; just add some soybean paste in, and the steps are pretty much the same."

If you want tomato meat sauce, you can add tomatoes in.

"Grandma, you're amazing! I got it! Grandma, how long can it be stored?"

"If you want it to last longer, add a little more salt, or put it in an airtight jar."

"good."

After simmering the food in water for twenty minutes, Su Tian scooped it into a bowl and let her grandmother try it.

She looked at her grandmother expectantly. Grandma Su looked at her granddaughter, who looked like a little kitten and was very cute.

"Hmm, not bad, but it's still a little bit lacking compared to mine. It's a bit too sweet; it'll taste even better if you make it a few more times."

"Okay, Grandma, these are for you. I'll take the rest back to Mom and Dad."

"Okay, put it in another bowl and take it back."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma."

Su Tian picked up the bowl, filled it, sealed it in a plastic bag, and hung it on the handlebars.

"Grandma, hasn't Grandpa come back from visiting yet?"

"No, ever since the old man took the medicine you gave him, his legs have become more agile and he's more energetic. He goes out to visit neighbors every day and doesn't come back until dinner time."

"Haha...Grandma, you and Grandpa must take good care of yourselves."

If anything happens, just tell me or my parents, okay? I'm going home now.

"Okay, I'll remember, my dear granddaughter, ride your bike slowly."

"Okay, goodbye Grandma."

Su Tian rode her bicycle home in a hurry, arriving at four o'clock in the afternoon.

She placed the meat sauce on the table, went into the room, locked the door, and then entered the space.

She remembered that she had collected can sealing machines and some iron bottles from canneries, and finally found them in a corner.

Su Tian smiled happily. She had already eaten all those canned meats in the apocalypse. Otherwise, it would have been so nice to give some of them to A Zhe to take back and eat.

But it's alright, she can get on with something big tonight.

After she finished preparing dinner, the family ate.

Su Tian suddenly spoke up, "Mom and Dad, I have to go out."

"Honey, what brings you out so late at night?"

"Mom and Dad, I have to go to Grandpa and Grandma's house. Don't worry about me. I'm strong and no one can hurt me."

"Okay, then be careful. It's getting dark, so remember to bring a flashlight."

"Okay, I understand, Dad. Thank you for washing the dishes."

"Okay, I'll wash. Old woman, you go and rest on the sofa."

Wang Lin covered her mouth and laughed. Her daughter was so good to her, asking her dad to wash the dishes.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."

"Okay, sure."

Su Tian went downstairs, got on her bicycle, and arrived at the foot of Black Cloud Mountain an hour later.

She glanced at her watch; it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.

She packed up her bicycle, picked up an iron rod, and headed up the mountain.

The night sky above Black Mountain exudes a mysterious aura, with the occasional chirping of insects and calls of birds echoing around.

Su Tian carefully walked into the deep mountains with a flashlight. In less than ten minutes, she heard a series of "hmm hmm hmm" sounds.

Heh... it's just the three of you now. These three wild boars are charging towards Su Tian.

She knocked them unconscious with a few blows, quickly put the wild boars into her spatial storage, and hurried down the mountain.

After Su Tian descended the mountain, she first slipped into her spatial dimension to check on the three wild boars.

She dragged them to the pigpen that had been prepared beforehand, settled the wild boars, left the space, and rode her bicycle quickly to her grandmother's house.
