After eating and drinking her fill, Wenxi came out of the system kitchen and replenished the rice, flour, cooking oil and seasonings in her home. She also took a basket of several dozen kilograms of pears, two kilograms of pork belly, one each of dried chicken, duck, goose and rabbit, thirty each of chicken eggs, preserved eggs and salted duck eggs, and thirty each of fresh duck eggs and goose eggs.
You can't go out empty-handed; you should definitely take something with you.
Not knowing what time Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue would return, and also afraid that she would give herself away when serving the dishes, Wen Xi brought out several dishes early. Stewed beef with radish. Radish and potatoes are really versatile. No matter what they are stewed with, they are delicious, and even more delicious than before.
There was also stir-fried bullfrog with green peppers, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and cabbage and egg soup.
It was almost evening when Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue returned. Both of them had rosy complexions, which was normal after walking so long and getting hot.
After the two returned, they greeted Wenxi and put down their baskets in the main room. "Xiaoxi, what did you buy today?"
"I bought a basket of pears, as well as pork belly, dried meat, and eggs. That should last us for a while," Wenxi said with a smile. "We'll divide the food into four portions, put them in the kitchen, and hide the rest in our room."
These things are too good; if others see them, it'll be a big problem. They might even report them for hedonism!
Therefore, they must be hidden separately.
Wenxi poured some cooled boiled water for Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. The two of them took the teacups and quickly gulped down the water. The county town wasn't far from here, but at this time the roads hadn't been repaired and the road conditions were poor, making it inconvenient and time-consuming to go to the county town. That's why the two of them had only just returned.
After finishing their water, the two began to unpack the things they had bought.
They bought things they needed, so Wenxi didn't participate. She just reminded them to come to the kitchen for dinner after they finished tidying up.
Most of Wenxi's personal belongings were obtained through official contracts, with only a small portion purchased from supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores; this was intended to mislead the public.
After all, people need to live, and to live, one cannot do without these things, so it's inevitable that they'll have to put on a show.
When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue finished tidying up and came to the kitchen for dinner, they each gave Wen Xi something. Shen Jiaojiao received a bag of White Rabbit milk candy, and Jiang Yue received a bag of peach shortbread.
Although these things cannot compare to what Wenxi made for them, they still represent their good intentions. Moreover, this was done without any special abilities, so Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were already very kind.
Wenxi also distributed the pears she had brought back. A basket should have weighed about 30 jin, and each person received several dozen large pears. Wenxi told them to take them to their rooms and put them away.
After that, everyone sat down to eat dinner.
The beef rib stew with radish was incredibly spicy, flavorful, and perfect with rice. Everyone ate a few extra bites and ended up feeling stuffed. Afterward, they watered the vegetables in the yard to help them digest.
After feeling much better, everyone got up and went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash up. It was already November, so they didn't need to shower every day anymore; showering every few days would be fine.
When Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui arrived, everyone sat down to read and study together. After they went home, everyone returned to their respective rooms.
Wen Xi went back to her room and entered the system kitchen to start processing crayfish. She had already tried the black market and found that the crayfish could be sold, so Wen Xi was now focusing on processing crayfish.
With high-tech intelligent machines, processing crayfish is a very easy task. Wenxi only needs to cook them at the end. She cooks two to three hundred catties every day and then takes them to the black market in the early hours of Thursday.
Lin Yiwan was supplying vegetables and fruits, so she didn't compete for business. As for various meats, Wenxi didn't want to sell them cheaply during this period, so she didn't supply them.
The next morning, Wenxi prepared breakfast early and then set off. She had been busy with the autumn harvest and hadn't been able to deliver vegetables to Qin Mi. Today, she was going to practice driving and decided to bring some vegetables to Qin Mi.
Upon arriving at the location, Wen Xi saw Qin Mi's car already waiting there. She waved to Qin Mi and then ran towards the car.
With a 'thud,' he fell face-first to the ground in front of him.
Because she forgot that she had a heavy basket on her back.
Qin Mi hurried over, helped Wen Xi up from the ground, brushed the dust off her clothes, and asked worriedly, "Xi, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Wen Xi smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, I was wearing thick clothes, so I didn't fall."
Finally, Qin Mi picked up the things that had fallen out of the basket and put them back in. It wouldn't matter if the vegetables and such were dropped; they would have to be washed and chopped anyway when cooking.
"Brother Qin, I brought you breakfast. Take it out and eat it yourself. I'm driving now!" Wen Xi reminded him, then started the car and drove off without a destination.
Wenxi's driving skills are already very good, but he hasn't experienced situations with roadblocks yet, so today Qin Mi instructed Wenxi to drive on a secluded side road.
As she drove, the road became narrower and narrower, and it felt like the road ahead was even narrower than the car itself. Wenxi was a little scared. After all, she had only been given a second chance at life, and she dared not joke with her own life. Moreover, Qin Mi was sitting in the passenger seat. If something happened, both of them would be in danger!
"Don't be nervous." Qin Mi put his hand on the steering wheel. "Just keep a firm grip on your direction. Since I dared to let you take this road, I can guarantee that there won't be any problems."
Qin Mi could tell whether this road was open to traffic or not.
With Qin Mi's assurance, Wen Xi drove forward with peace of mind. As a result, she slowly drove into a village. Unexpectedly, the road turned out to be a village road!
When some villagers saw the car, they all gathered around. Fearing that she might accidentally hit someone, Wenxi stopped the car and planned to wait for the crowd to disperse before driving to the threshing ground to turn around.
The autumn harvest is now over, and the grain has been delivered. The threshing ground is basically empty now, so you can still drive there and turn around.
However, several village officials from the brigade came over and recognized Qin Mi, so they couldn't leave for the time being. Qin Mi had no choice but to get out of the car, and Wen Xi also got out of the car and stood next to Qin Mi, obediently playing the role of Qin Mi's driver.
"Director Qin, what brings you to the team today? Why didn't you let us know beforehand? We were completely unprepared. Please forgive us if we fail to provide adequate hospitality!"
The brigade leader was extremely nervous, wondering if something had happened in the village that he was unaware of, otherwise why would Director Qin have come without any prior notice!
