Because cattle were the most valuable asset of the production team in those days, it was hard to explain why she could produce beef, so she didn't give it to too many people.
After finishing the beef and mushroom sauce, Wenxi started making pork jerky. She didn't lack meat now, and she couldn't just let it gather dust in the warehouse, could she?
Moreover, she had been cooking for over ten years in her previous life, so she was very experienced and could learn to cook other things very quickly.
But since it was her first time making it, she was afraid of wasting ingredients, so she only took out five pounds of pork tenderloin.
Wenxi had never seen some of the seasonings before. She frantically searched for the seasonings according to the recipe, and then began to process the pork.
First, cut the pork tenderloin open and remove all the white tendons. Then, slice the meat into thin slices and mince it. Next, add salt, sugar, and black pepper and mix well. Then, add oyster sauce, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and fish sauce and mix until the mixture becomes sticky.
Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, brush with a thin layer of oil, put the mixed minced meat on the baking tray, cover with plastic wrap, spread the minced meat out, and then roll it out into an even sheet with a rolling pin.
Then Wenxi prepared a bowl of honey water, removed the plastic wrap, brushed the honey water onto the meat slices, and then sprinkled white sesame seeds on top.
Finally, after preheating the oven, place the baking tray on the middle rack, set the oven to 175 degrees Celsius and the time to 20 minutes according to the recipe, and then Wenxi doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
When the time was up, Wenxi put on thick gloves, took out the baking tray, turned the meat slices upside down on the clean table, brushed the other side with honey water, sprinkled sesame seeds, and then put them back into the oven.
After baking it again, Wenxi cut the whole piece of pork jerky into rectangular pieces according to the picture in the recipe. The red pork jerky, with white sesame seeds on top, looked very tempting.
Wen Xi took a piece of pork jerky, took a bite, and let out a satisfied sigh. It was really delicious. Her more than ten years of cooking skills had not been for nothing.
Unexpectedly, the first time she made pork jerky, it was such a success. It was just too little. Five catties of pork tenderloin had shrunk by half, leaving only a small amount. It wasn't even enough for herself, let alone to share with everyone. So Wenxi took out another hundred catties of pork tenderloin to make pork jerky.
Several hours passed, and Wenxi finally made more than 50 jin of pork jerky. She packed 10 jin for Brother Jin, 10 jin for He Chen, and kept the rest for her own family.
Although she had spent almost an afternoon in the system kitchen, not much time had passed outside. When Wenxi came out, it was still early outside!
Since she had nothing else to do, Wenxi prepared the things to send to Brother Jin and He Chen'an, and then set off with her basket on her back.
Once they reached the vicinity of the post office, they quietly transferred the items to their basket, and then carried the basket into the post office.
"Comrade, I'm here to mail something." Wen Xi took out the things she had prepared for Brother Jin and placed them on the table. The staff took the items and checked them one by one.
Although the beef and mushroom sauce was packaged in canned jars, that couldn't stop its irresistible aroma. The staff members secretly swallowed their saliva while inspecting it.
The kiwi slices were packaged in transparent bags, each bag weighing about one pound. Wenxi packed a total of twenty bags. Because the bags were transparent, the green flesh was clearly visible, making them very tempting.
The staff member couldn't help but swallow again. "Comrade, what are these green patches?"
"These are dried fruits I made from wild fruits I picked from the mountain. Try them." Wenxi took out a bag of kiwi slices from her basket and quickly stuffed it into the staff member's arms, then winked at her mischievously.
The staff smiled at her and then worked even more diligently.
After Jin Changfeng's package was sorted out, Wen Xi started sending more to He Chen'an. It was the same package: twenty packs of kiwi slices, two bottles of beef and mushroom sauce, and ten catties of pork jerky. However, Jin Changfeng's package contained thirty preserved eggs and thirty salted duck eggs.
Jin Changfeng is in another city, so he definitely doesn't have as many supplies as people in the city. That's why Wenxi thought of sending him more things. Besides, Jin Changfeng had sent her money and tickets before, so she wasn't losing out.
After checking and sealing both packages, Wenxi paid the money.
The staff member opened the bag, took a slice of kiwi and popped it into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste was really good. He then smiled and said to Wen Xi, "Comrade Wen Xi, my name is Zhang Yaxin. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."
Wen Xi smiled and nodded. "Thank you."
It would be good for her to build a good relationship with Zhang Yaxin, since she would be staying in the countryside for another two years and would inevitably have to send letters and packages to Brother Jin and He Chen'an. Having an acquaintance would also make her feel safer.
It was already afternoon when Wenxi left home, and now that she had finished her business, it was already evening. So Wenxi didn't waste any time. After saying goodbye to Zhang Yaxin, she left the post office and went straight back to the brigade.
As the sun set, she walked briskly back to the brigade. Her basket was empty, so her steps were incredibly light.
There's a section of the country road that runs through the woods. It's not a long stretch, only a few dozen meters, but it's lined with tall poplars on both sides. Their leaves are as big as fans, rustling in the wind. If you were out in the middle of the night, you could be scared to death by that sound.
Every time Wenxi went to the black market to make a transaction, she would ride her electric bicycle through this area at top speed and then speed away from the forest in a flash.
As Wen Xi walked, just as she entered the path into the woods, four men suddenly jumped out from the woods beside her and blocked her way.
Looking at the four ugly and repulsive men in front of her, Wenxi felt a little flustered. There were four of them, and she was all alone.
Moreover, at this time, many families are cooking dinner, and there are almost no people outside. If she shouts for help, she probably won't be able to get anyone's attention.
In other words, she now has to rely on herself to break through the encirclement.
"What do you want?" Wenxi asked, clutching the bag in her basket and staring at them in confusion.
"What do you want?" The leader rubbed his hands together, a sly smile on his face. "Of course, we want you to be our wife! As long as you serve us well, we'll treat you well in return."
The others laughed too, looking eager to try it out. Everyone wanted to be the first to try it, but since their boss was here, they could only follow behind and drink the leftover soup.
Of course, leftover soup is better than nothing, and they don't mind it anyway.
And this woman is really beautiful, her skin is so white, it probably feels as smooth and tender as freshly made tofu.
