Chapter 37 Second Update Spicy Rabbit
The apology meeting suddenly turned into a petition meeting.
After Han Jing and Hua Feifei's passionate speeches, the vast majority of villagers had a better impression of the educated youth, and the four educated youth were officially integrated into the Wangjiagou production team.
After the meeting, Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei still had a lot of room for improvement in their work, but the number of people willing to help and understand them increased significantly, and they also passed on many tips for working in the fields and in life.
For example, when applying fertilizer and manure to private plots, one cannot water them directly. If there is not enough manure, one can borrow or exchange it from the team first. Land without fertilizer cannot grow much food, especially since their land is of poor quality.
Also, the winters in Wangjiagou are very cold, so it's a bit too late to stock up for the winter now. Try to store as much dry firewood as possible at home. After the first snowfall, it'll be too late to stock up, so you can "exchange" with villagers who have enough. When the sun is out, you can not only dry the firewood, but also your cotton-padded jackets and quilts. A well-beaten cotton-padded jacket will keep you warmer. The streams can freeze, so store more water. If you're too busy, ask the village children who have some free time during the autumn to help out, and give them some snacks. Hands and feet can easily crack and even swell in the cold winter, so keep some frostbite ointment handy...
These suggestions are the life experiences of the villagers passed down from generation to generation, and are really useful to them.
So Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei did not stay idle after work, and began to make plans for wintering.
As for the leaf elm, it has existed for a long time, but apart from being related to food and kitchen, it is basically a simplified version of wintering and is not suitable for ordinary people.
When the cold wind blew, Hua Feifei's nose felt itchy and she couldn't help but sneeze.
To be honest, the temperature is actually a bit cold now. I don’t feel it when I’m working in the fields, but I’m so cold in the morning and at night that I just want to curl up in bed. Besides the kang, my second favorite place is next to the kitchen stove.
Hua Feifei and the others basically all wear sweaters. Now they don’t dare to take a shower or wash their hair every day. First, the hot water cools down quickly, and by the time they get to the bathroom and take off their clothes, they are already freezing cold. Second, wet hair can really make people catch a cold easily, and typhoid fever can freeze people to death.
But Ye Yu is different.
Ye Yu still took a shower and washed her hair every day, and she didn't wear thick clothes. When the cold wind blew, everyone else huddled inside, but she didn't show the slightest sign of being cold.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"No, nothing." Hua Feifei shook her head, but she was muttering in her heart, why is this little sparrow still chirping and getting closer to Ye Yu? Is she really not a monster from the deep mountains and valleys? She looks like her, and her strength is similar.
That night, Ye Yu no longer went out for a walk.
The next day, many young people in the team were yawning and had a pair of obvious or subtle panda eyes. It seemed that many people went up the mountain after work yesterday, but these people all looked depressed and probably didn't gain much.
Even Hua Feifei and the other two heard about it, especially Hua Feifei. Time passed quickly while listening to the aunts chattering and gossiping, and even the hard work was forgotten.
It was lunchtime and it was Ye Yu's turn to cook. She took out two fat rabbits and dressed them in the yard.
Hua Feifei and the others couldn't hold it in any longer. They immediately thought of the incident that was circulating in the village last night. Hua Feifei couldn't help but ask, "Ye Yu, did you go hunting in the mountains?"
"Yeah." Ye Yu didn't think of hiding it completely from them. These people were all good people, and revealing some of them appropriately would help improve her daily life.
Han Jing's eyes lit up and he was ready to take action.
Being suppressed by Xu Fei, Xu Fei rolled his eyes. He was clearly a young and handsome man, but now he was like an old woman when he met this fool. He glared at Han Jing unhappily: "Can you climb up the mountain now?"
They had to take a break on the way back from the fields after work. If Ye Yu hadn't occasionally given them massages, their bodies wouldn't have adapted to the intensity of the work so quickly.
Han Jing was stunned for less than a second before he regained his spirit. It might not work now, but it might work in the future.
Xu Fei didn't pay attention to him and said to Ye Yu: "It's dangerous in the mountains. Try to avoid going out at night."
"Of course, there have been wild boars in Nanshan. Few villagers go there, and the fewest people live there," Hua Feifei nodded in agreement. "There are also poisonous snakes. Last year, Aunt Baiyun's nephew was almost bitten by a five-step snake, and the villagers have never found its nest. I don't know if there are other five-step snakes. There are also endless bamboo pit vipers in the bamboo forest of Xishan."
When Xu Fei heard the word "snake", he shuddered. When he was a child, a rat snake had entered his house. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of grass snakes for ten years. When he heard this, his whole body went numb.
"Should we buy some realgar powder?" Realgar is actually not very effective in repelling snakes, but current realgar powder contains sulfur powder, which is the main ingredient for repelling snakes.
The topic has gone astray.
While Ye Yu and they were discussing snakes and realgar sulfur powder, they had already cleaned up the two fat rabbits.
Chop it into small pieces with a few clicks.
Use ginger to remove the fishy smell. There is no peppercorns, but there are still dried chilies that I exchanged from Xu Fei. Stir-fry them together with the rabbit meat, ginger and green onions. As soon as they are put into the pan, the overbearing spicy smell wafts out.
Hua Feifei and the other two also stopped discussing the snake and swallowed their saliva frantically.
But it was impossible to ask Ye Yu to share food with them. She could eat all the dried chilies by herself. Even if she was willing to share, they would feel embarrassed... probably.
The only way is to exchange.
Hua Feifei and Han Jing both come from well-off families and carry a lot of cash with them, but Xu Fei comes from an ordinary family and has to be very careful with his spending.
But at this moment I really don’t want to save money. Rabbit meat is really delicious. If I can’t eat rabbit meat, I can chew some chili peppers to satisfy my craving.
Since saving money is not an option, the only option is to spend. I never thought that there would be a day when I would have to bow down for a bite of rabbit meat.
How can a literary youth be like this?
Xu Fei chewed the chili pepper and spat on himself, then went back to his room and took out his notebook. He had already written two articles, and he took them out to ask his companions to help him review them.
“The handwriting is so beautiful.”
Han Jing was the first to praise.
Unlike Ye Yu's unconventional style, Xu Fei, who is less than 20 years old, has been practicing calligraphy for more than ten years. He learned it from his neighbor's Chinese teacher. He mainly practiced soft-brush official script and hard-brush regular script. Every page of his notebook is bright and shiny, and every character is straight in horizontal, vertical and diagonal strokes, which is very friendly to the eyes.
To be honest, Xu Fei's literary level is really good. In his writing, he describes the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of four people vividly.
Especially the second article, which sublimates the theme at the end, which is very consistent with the mainstream style of this era.
"That's great, it will definitely be in the newspaper." Han Jing gave a thumbs up.
Hua Feifei felt a little embarrassed because she was praised several times in the article, and nodded vigorously with a red face.
Ye Yu calmly suggested, "You can use a little more colloquial language."
With spiritual food, the three of them finally stopped focusing their attention on the spicy rabbit cubes next door.
It's still a bit difficult.

Before going out in the afternoon, the four of them brushed their teeth without any prior agreement. However, when they went to work, except for Ye Yu, the other three were still questioned by the villagers.
The main flavor of the chili pepper is really overbearing and can linger for a long time. You may not be able to smell the aroma of the meat, but you can definitely smell the aroma of the chili pepper.
The three of them laughed it off.
After all, this hunting cannot be done openly and honestly, it can only be done secretly. Even a fool like Han Jing knows that the evidence cannot be put in the open. Perhaps the city people who have been in the black market understand this better than the villagers.
What made Hua Feifei and the other two upset again was that when they came back from work in the evening, they saw Ye Yu took out two rabbits and two fat grass carps from somewhere, which were even fresher than what they had eaten last time.
!!!
Did she stir up the rabbit hole?
Ye Yu did not use up dried chilies to make spicy diced chicken in the evening. Instead, she made her best dishes - grilled fish and grilled rabbit. By the way, there were still some spices in the space that had been used up.
"Gurgle gurgle--" Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei's stomachs were so irritated that the sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and even the smoked fish sauce in their hands had almost lost their fragrance.
"Chirp!" Although it was not the meat of an exotic beast, the little sparrow flew out and circled around Ye Yu even more vigorously.
This little fellow doesn't need a rope or a cage, he can't be driven away.
"No," Ye Yu frowned, "I can't catch insects myself and eat you now."
The sparrow is probably really obsessed with eating, so obsessed that it even understands the word "eat" without any instruction. When it hears the word "eat", it chirps even more happily.
"grain reserves."
"grumble."
It was like an electric doll with the switch turned off. It suddenly became quiet, even its wings stopped flapping. It flew to Ye Yu's shoulder and stopped, its small eyes staring straight at the roasted rabbit in front of it.
No one was allowed to touch a bone of Ye Yu's roasted rabbit, but she also cooked a pot of pickled fish. A fingernail's worth of fish soup could be given to others, and more fish soup and fish meat could be exchanged appropriately, preferably with food.
Change! Change! Change!
Han Jing and Hua Feifei seemed to see a use for their wallets. They didn't mind and were even happy to spend them on meat.
It’s so cool to have a teammate to lead you.
Xu Fei covered his face sadly. For the first time in his life, he had the concept of "hatred of the rich".
The ancients were right:
“Food is the most important thing for the people.”
After more than ten days, most of the crops that could be grown in autumn had been planted. There was less and less work in the fields, it was becoming increasingly difficult to earn work points, and the weather was becoming increasingly colder.
That day, when Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei went to work, they were all asked if they wanted to take a day off together the next day to go to the market in Pingquan Town to buy some supplies for the winter.
It was almost December, and the four pigs in the village needed to be driven to the Pingquan Town Agricultural and Sideline Products Station to hand in their tasks. This was a big event, and many people from the village participated.
Also, Uncle Cai from the team will also drive a donkey cart with us. Even if there are too many people to fit in the cart when we return, we can put the things we bought on the donkey cart and take a ride.
It is often like this when going to the market in the village. Unless there are special circumstances, basically four, six, seven or nine people go together. Once they leave the village, they are not afraid of being bullied by outsiders.
Hua Feifei raised her hand high:
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
Although she only stayed in the pigpen for less than twenty days, she did raise them. To put it in a rounded form, she contributed a lot. How could she not join in the fun on this harvest day?
Han Jing and Xu Fei also went.
These days, Ye Yu had meat for almost every meal, even roasted sparrows. The stock they had was almost drained by Ye Yu, so it was a good time to go to the town to replenish it.
Also, several of them had written some manuscripts and wanted to send them out from the town post office.
The focus of submitting the manuscript was on Xu Fei. They all agreed that Xu Fei's articles were extremely well written and the only reason they couldn't be published in the newspaper was because of a mistake in the mailing or because the person was careless.
Hua Feifei and Han Jing were not so confident in themselves, and they mainly thought about sending a letter home.
When asked by Sister Guihua, Ye Yu agreed immediately. Food could be purchased in the village, but oil, salt, sauce and the like still needed to be replenished in the town.
