The next morning, everyone at the educated youth settlement brought out some cornmeal and sorghum flour. Zhang Cuicao prepared two large basins of dough, waiting to steam vegetable buns in the afternoon.
While the others went to work, He Wan carried a bamboo basket up the mountain.
Today, I dutifully cut two baskets of pig feed with the children from the mountains.
I met a few children: Yuzhu from Aunt Juhua's family, as well as Qiuzhen and Xiaoli.
When they were around ten years old, they would cut a basket of pig feed in the morning before going to school, and then cut another basket to take home after school in the afternoon.
He Wan cut two baskets of pig feed in one morning, and in the afternoon she did not go to the county. Instead, she continued to cut pig feed and put the cut feed into her space to use tomorrow.
We also dug up quite a few wild vegetables and mushrooms throughout the day.
At noon, Yun Shudai brought milk, bread, steamed buns, fried dough twists, scallion pancakes, egg pancakes, boiled corn, sandwiches, and pizza. When she came in, she saw a pile of grass, wild vegetables, and wild mushrooms in the space.
He Wan ate and didn't rest. She went straight into the mountains and found a secluded spot to enter her spatial dimension.
Looking at all the food Yun Shudai had prepared for her, she smiled and said, "Thank you for feeding me."
"Is this enough? If not, I'll go buy some more this afternoon. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Hmm, I'll prepare some more food for you this afternoon."
"No need, this is enough. I can sell the wild vegetables and mushrooms I'm picking now. By the way, I don't need to work anymore; I've switched to cutting pig feed."
"Tsk, you're fast, you've already changed jobs."
He Wan ate an egg pancake with great satisfaction and couldn't help but sigh, "I used to earn so much money and go to fancy restaurants every day, but none of them tasted as good as this pancake I'm eating now. By the way, the house behind us is almost finished. I'd like to get some fabric and ask the uncles to help me fix the roof. Thatched houses tend to crumble easily, and I don't feel comfortable living in them. At least I'll cover the roof with some cloth."
"Okay, I'll go see if I can find any suitable fabric this afternoon."
"That kind of earthy gray cloth will do."
The two sat on the sofa, reminiscing for a while, listening to the best friend's complaints while drawing.
Yun Shudai transferred 100,000 yuan, the money she had saved to buy wine, to He Wan and kept it in her phone so she could shop online whenever she had free time.
Lao He refused: "After all, I'm not from here, and my current area of activity is limited to this space. Besides, you're not an ordinary person. I'm afraid that if I wander around online and use your information, it might be bad for you if I get doxxed later. You can keep the money and save it to buy a car and a villa."
Yun Shudai thought about it and agreed; she would help with shopping from now on.
In the afternoon, Yun Shudai drove to the wholesale market again and bought 200 jin of rice, flour, brown sugar, and pork.
In the 1970s, these were the best-selling foods.
After buying these things, I went to a textile market and found a piece of gray fabric. I didn't know how much He Wan would need, so I just bought a whole bolt.
That evening, He Wan went home early to help Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao, making two large pots of pork and wild vegetable buns.
Everyone ate two. He Wan ate one, and secretly put the other into her spatial storage to save for Yun Shudai.
Chen Qing also kept one and put it in the dimensional system. One wild vegetable and meat bun was exchanged for ten points.
He Wan was unaware that a few days ago, the two had a conflict by the river, during which she scratched Chen Qing's neck.
It was around that time that Chen Qing opened the dimensional system space through He Wan.
"No, she doesn't have enough items to exchange. She also needs to go find Captain Chen later. Cutting pig feed requires going into the mountains."
Yun Shudai brought in everything she had prepared that afternoon.
He Wan was shown the fabric.
"How about it? Not too abrupt, right?"
"Hmm, it's alright. These are all-natural wild vegetable and meat buns from the 1970s, I saved them especially for you."
Seeing how big it was, Yun Shudai realized she couldn't finish it all, so she broke it in half and gave half to He Wan. He Wan eagerly took a bite and nodded repeatedly, "Mmm, this tastes really good, much better than what you buy outside. Are there any more? I want to take a few back for my parents."
"Wow, you're quite adept at calling your parents now. Looks like they treat you well?"
Yun Shudai nodded: "Old He, I don't regret coming here at all. Although I'm not as rich as I was in my previous life, everything is good except for that. I cherish it now."
He Wan patted her best friend on the shoulder, happy for her too: "There are meat buns, two for each of you every day. I'll save some for you tomorrow."
"Thanks, I'll buy you your favorite durian tomorrow."
"To be honest, I really want to, but that stuff has a strong smell. I'm afraid my breath will smell after I eat it, and it wouldn't be good if someone noticed."
