Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue quickly grabbed a hamburger, and imitating Wen Xi, they held the hamburger with both hands, took a big bite, and looked incredibly satisfied.
They've never tasted anything this delicious before!
Shen Jiaojiao: "Delicious."
Jiang Yue exclaimed, "This is so delicious! I've never had such good bread before!"
Wen Xi smiled faintly, "They really are two little foodies."
After finishing her hamburger, while eating, Shen Jiaojiao exclaimed, "Wow, this scrambled eggs with tomatoes is so delicious, so fresh and fragrant! And this cucumber salad is so crisp and refreshing!"
"Can we eat tomatoes and cucumbers now?" Jiang Yue turned her head suspiciously and glanced at the yard. The cucumbers seemed to have just started to bloom!
"Others planted early, so they bore fruit early too. We'll plant a month earlier next year too." Eun-hee also picked up a piece of cucumber salad. It was crisp, fragrant, and delicious. Food from the space is just so tasty. After eating vegetables from the space, I guess vegetables from the real world won't taste as good anymore!
However, it's impossible to eat the food from the space every day. You can't just ask the female lead for the food from the space, that would be too much.
So cherish the food you get to eat in this space!
After dinner, Shen Jiaojiao cleaned up the kitchen, Jiang Yue tidied up the house, and Wen Xi went back to her room to take out the dresses she had bought for them. "Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, these are dresses I brought for you."
"Wow, it's so pretty!" Shen Jiaojiao dried her hands on the dress, then took the dress Wen Xi handed her and examined it with great admiration. But then she felt bad, "How much does this cost? It must be several tens of yuan, right?"
"It's not very expensive, just wear it, don't talk so much nonsense." Wen Xi shook her head, then went back to her room and took out a bowl of dried mushrooms. She went to the kitchen and soaked them in warm water. She decided to make mushroom and chicken soup that night and see how the mushrooms from Northeast China were different from those from the central region.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue put their skirts into their respective wicker boxes, and then carried their baskets to pick bamboo shoots.
Now, besides going to work, they spend their time picking bamboo shoots, because they want to earn more money while bamboo shoots are in season.
Wenxi didn't stay home to rest either. She went to the pigsty and handed over a basket of pig feed, noting the distance by one centimeter. She saw the badger in the pigsty and realized that Captain Qian had kept the badger in the pigsty. Moreover, the place where the badger was kept had been specially reinforced, otherwise it would have been a waste of money if it grew up and escaped.
When Wenxi arrived at her doorstep, she was surprised to see Aunt Meihua standing there. She quickly walked over, opened the gate, and invited Aunt Meihua inside, saying, "Aunt Meihua, what brings you here at this hour?"
"Xiaoxi, I've come to tell you that there's a meeting at the threshing ground tomorrow morning. Don't be absent!" Aunt Meihua instructed.
Wenxi knew that there must be something important to announce in the team, and it concerned her, otherwise they wouldn't have specifically come to remind her not to miss the meeting tomorrow.
"Thank you for reminding me, Aunt Meihua. I definitely won't be absent." Wenxi was about to pour water for Aunt Meihua when Aunt Meihua waved her hand and walked out. Wenxi smiled helplessly.
Wenxi closed the courtyard gate, fed the chickens, and returned to her room. After locking the door, she quickly checked in. She had accumulated many check-in opportunities, but she didn't need to use the check-in system much now, so she saved the opportunities. After all, many small items were not very useful to her, and she wanted to save them for later when she could check in for things that would be more useful to her.
Unexpectedly, this time she checked in and received a 'high-tech smart machine'. Wen Xi didn't know what this huge machine did, but it looked very advanced.
Then, on the glass-like screen in front of her, there were the words "peeling bamboo shoots". Thinking that it must be peeling bamboo shoots, Wen Xi reached out and tapped it. Then an entrance appeared next to her. So Wen Xi poured 100 catties of bamboo shoots into it. After the entrance closed, the smart device started running, but without making a sound. It was really too high-tech.
After a while, the entrance opened again, and inside were only the cleanly peeled bamboo shoots, but there were very few of them, even though she had just poured in a hundred pounds of bamboo shoots!
Wenxi weighed the bamboo shoot meat and was surprised to find that only 25 jin of bamboo shoot meat were obtained from 100 jin of bamboo shoots. That is to say, it takes 4 jin of bamboo shoots to peel 1 jin of bamboo shoot meat.
The purchase price in Wenxi is five cents per pound, and it takes two mao (0.2 yuan) to produce one pound of bamboo shoot meat. So I have to sell it for at least five mao per pound!
But now it's just Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue picking bamboo shoots together, which is too inefficient. She can't earn much money even after working hard for a month.
The battle lines are stretched too thin; it would be better to just go fishing in the river bend a few more times!
Wenxi just wants to save more money so that she can buy more houses and courtyard houses after returning to the city, so that she won't have to work so hard in the future.
Seeing that it was still early, Wenxi started simmering the mushroom and chicken soup, and then went to Chang Qingqing's house next door. During the busy farming season, everyone ate in the canteen, but at other times they ate at home. Almost every family would leave one person at home to cook, so that everyone could have a hot meal as soon as they finished work.
The Chang family next door has two daughters who take turns cooking. They didn't make Zhao Yuanyuan take on all the cooking just because she's older, nor did they let Zhao Huihui slack off just because she's younger. It's fair to say that Chang Qingqing has done a good job educating these two children.
Today, Zhao Yuanyuan is staying home to cook for Chang Qingqing's family.
When Wen Xi arrived, Zhao Yuanyuan was washing vegetables in the yard, preparing for dinner. Seeing Wen Xi, Zhao Yuanyuan stood up and asked, "Sister Xiaoxi, what brings you here?"
"Yuanyuan, I'm here to discuss something with you," Wen Xi said with a mysterious laugh as she walked up to Zhao Yuanyuan.
Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes widened as she looked at Wen Xi curiously, "Sister Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"
"When you and Huihui have time, could you help me pick bamboo shoots? I'll trade you money for them, five cents a pound," Wenxi said softly. "This is something only the three of us—you, Huihui, and me—should know. Don't let a fourth person know."
"Sister Xiaoxi, if you want bamboo shoots, I'll break them for you, no need to exchange them." Zhao Yuanyuan, like Chang Qingqing, is a very straightforward person.
"No way, I need a lot, at least several thousand kilograms. I can't ask you to break them for me if you don't charge me!"
Zhao Yuanyuan did the math, then her eyes widened. Five cents a pound, ten pounds would be fifty cents, and how many fifty cents would she earn from several thousand pounds? Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanyuan's breathing became rapid. After a while, Zhao Yuanyuan nodded, "Sister Xiaoxi, then we'll break bamboo shoots for you."
