After resting at home for a while, just as it got dark, Shen Jiaojiao, Jiang Yue, Zhao Yuanyuan, and Zhao Huihui couldn't wait to go out and earn money. Wen Xi wasn't idle either; after locking the courtyard gate, she slipped into the system kitchen and started processing bamboo shoots.
When bamboo shoots were in season in spring, Shen Jiaojiao and the other three helped her pick tens of thousands of kilograms of bamboo shoots. She spends a few minutes each day working in the kitchen for several hours to prepare the bamboo shoots, and she still hasn't finished!
She had previously signed off on a batch of white plastic bags, each with a capacity of ten kilograms. After the bamboo shoots were cooked and cooled, they were directly packaged in the plastic bags, which was much more convenient than the buckets she used to pack them in.
Wenxi decided to keep 100 jin of bamboo shoot meat for herself, and cook the rest of the bamboo shoots into cooked food to sell for money.
It's convenient for her to peel bamboo shoots now that she has a smart machine, and a kitchen system that can process a lot of weight at once without spending too much time.
When the old educated youth came back from a hard day's work, Tian Xiaoke saw that Xia Minglei looked exhausted and felt very sorry for him. She quickly made him a cup of sugar water to replenish his energy.
Tang Xiaoyun looked at Xia Minglei and Tian Xiaoke sitting in the dimly lit kitchen, her expression contorted with anger. Minglei was her brother, and she would never allow anyone to take him away.
It's very convenient for gay men to take a shower; they can simply pour hot water that's been baking in the sun over their heads in the dark. Whether they actually get clean or not is another matter.
After everyone fell asleep, Tian Xiaoke quietly went out to find Xia Minglei. Xia Minglei then pulled her away, saying that they dared not go to the cornfield that night because someone was watching the wheat in the threshing ground, and it would have a bad influence if they were seen.
Xia Minglei led Tian Xiaoke to a secluded spot at the foot of a mountain, cleared a space, and then spread his coat on the ground.
"Brother Minglei, seeing how tired you are tonight really breaks my heart. How about we get married? After we get married, we can move out, and I'll cook delicious food for you and help you recover properly, okay?" Tian Xiaoke said, hugging Xia Minglei's neck and breathing slightly out of her mouth.
Xia Minglei didn't want to continue the conversation, so he silenced her with a kiss. Tian Xiaoke, lost in her own world, gradually forgot about the incident.
The next morning, the newly arrived educated youth were also going to work. Tian Xiaoke and the other two female comrades went to the threshing ground with the male comrades to wait for their tasks to be assigned.
Tang Xiaoyun wanted to complain about getting up too early, but seeing that Tian Xiaoke didn't complain at all, she didn't complain either, because she didn't want Xia Minglei to think that she was inferior to Tian Xiaoke in terms of character.
When they arrived, there were already many people on the threshing ground. Everyone knew that the new educated youth in the team were handsome men and beautiful women, so when they arrived, everyone looked at them curiously.
These six educated youths were indeed impeccable in terms of appearance; each one seemed like a chosen one of heaven, naturally attracting the attention of countless people in the team.
The young men in the village, whether married or unmarried, all had their eyes on the three newly arrived female educated youths. Of course, some were just looking at them casually.
The older women and young girls focused their attention on the three male educated youths, especially Gu Huai'an. The older women, being more experienced, couldn't help but glance downwards, while the young girls blushed as they looked at Gu Huai'an's face.
Gu Huai'an touched his face. His face hadn't failed him, so why was the girl he met on the mountain yesterday so indifferent and calm, even showing a hint of annoyance?
"How come this new educated youth is so handsome? I didn't believe it when they told me yesterday! Now that I see him, he really is handsome. I'm afraid things might not be peaceful in the village today."
"That tallest young man, you can tell he's in great shape, he must be really good. The woman who marries him will be so lucky. If I were thirty years younger, I'd do it myself, I definitely wouldn't let any other woman have it..."
As the aunties' words became increasingly outrageous, Gu Huai'an's embarrassed expression changed. Later, when a girl looked at him and blushed, he glared back fiercely.
These people from the countryside are going a bit too far.
The others grew increasingly angry as they listened, especially Tang Xiaoyun. How could someone possibly pair her with a scoundrel like Xia Minglei, who was handsome and from a wealthy family, and marry a country bumpkin?
"Can't you be quiet? Do you want to go to work and earn work points? Don't you want food anymore?" Captain Qian arrived quickly and hurriedly stopped the women in the team as they spoke more and more outrageously.
The reason why the reputation of these country folks is getting worse and worse is because these people don't know how to keep their mouths shut and just blurt out whatever comes to mind.
These young people from the city come from well-off families and are good-looking. Won't their families find them better partners? When did it become the business of outsiders to worry about them?
Although Captain Qian stopped everyone and the scene quieted down, it couldn't stop everyone from scrutinizing and scheming against these six good-looking educated youths.
Everyone's brains were working at lightning speed, calculating what would be most advantageous for themselves.
The reason Wenxi was excluded was because she had made too many contributions and had people protecting her everywhere. Jin Changfeng was her sworn brother, and she had been praised by the province, city, and county. If there was any trouble with Wenxi, someone would probably come to cause them trouble.
Moreover, people like Wenxi are probably the ones who have to serve her; they don't get to enjoy being served by Wenxi.
In most people's eyes, it's about finding someone to serve them, rather than them going out of their way to serve others.
"Everyone, get back to work. Let's start assigning tasks for today..." Captain Qian told the three women to go to the sweet potato field with the village women, while the male educated youth went to the wheat field.
Wenxi didn't make breakfast this morning. Instead, she fed the chickens first and then picked all the vegetables that could be picked from the two yards.
After picking all the vegetables, Wenxi returned to her hometown and used cucumbers, eggplants, cowpeas, and green peppers to dry. Those that needed to be blanched were blanched, while those that didn't were sliced and dried directly, or they were salted to draw out the moisture before drying.
When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue got up and washed up, Wen Xi put the hot dry noodles into the pot. She had signed for a whole box of these hot dry noodles, which contained a hundred packs, each weighing about two ounces, enough for one person.
After the hot dry noodles were cooked, Wenxi scooped them out and put them in a bowl. Then she added all the toppings from the hot dry noodles, such as pickled cowpeas, diced radish, chili oil, sesame paste, and vinegar.
The noodles for three people used one set of dipping sauce. The remaining two sets of dipping sauce can be saved for when eating regular noodles later.
After stirring the noodles evenly, Wenxi brought two more bowls and divided the hot dry noodles into three equal portions so that they could eat directly when Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came in.
