Wenxi locked the courtyard gate and then flashed into the system warehouse.
It's much easier to just use that machine to peel bamboo shoots.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to finish processing all the bamboo shoots that the four of them picked yesterday by herself.
With this machine, you can really achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After the four of them finished processing the bamboo shoots they picked yesterday, the yard was already full of bamboo shoots drying in the sun.
However, the yield of bamboo shoots is extremely low; it takes a thousand catties of bamboo shoots to produce just over two hundred catties of dried bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoots here are the long and thin kind, which are perfect for making pickled bamboo shoots.
So Wenxi pickled a jar of bamboo shoots, and at noon she also made stir-fried bamboo shoots with cured pork and spicy bamboo shoots.
She hasn't been going out lately, so it's not a good time to cook with fresh meat.
Fresh bamboo shoots are crisp, tender, and refreshing, with a sweet and savory flavor that makes them incredibly delicious.
After making the spicy bamboo shoots, Wenxi also sent some to Chang Qingqing's family next door.
After all, her children Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui had always been helping Shen Jiaojiao and the others to harvest bamboo shoots and earn money.
They certainly knew how to eat bamboo shoots, but they just didn't know the specific cooking method!
Since she'll be leaving at the end of the year anyway, Wenxi doesn't mind handing over the bamboo shoot recipe to someone who's been kind to her.
After all, next year's bamboo shoots will have nothing to do with her.
Bamboo is a plant that can grow two meters in one night, so why not eat it?
Even if the whole village ate together, they still couldn't finish all the bamboo.
This thing is both domineering and grows very fast; wherever it is, other plants can forget about growing.
"Xiaoxi, thank you!" Chang Qingqing said with a smile.
She never expected Wenxi to share her culinary skills with her.
"Sister Qingqing, don't be so polite, it's nothing serious," Wen Xi said with a smile.
Even if she doesn't say it now, when everyone moves to the city and gets to know more people, they'll gradually realize that these things are edible.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue worked in the watermelon field for a while and returned quickly.
Seeing so many bamboo shoots drying in the yard, neither of them said anything.
Since Wenxi bought the bamboo shoots, it's up to her how she decides to handle them; they have no right to interfere.
The two of them picked up their baskets and went to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots.
The midday sun was very strong, and the temperature was very high, already in the twenties and almost thirty degrees Celsius.
Everyone has already changed into light and cool spring clothes.
When Wenxi heard the knocking, she went to open the door and saw that it was Lin Yiwan. She quickly invited her in, not wanting others to see that her yard was full of bamboo shoots.
Lin Yiwan was also quite shocked to see that the winnowing basket, the cool bed, and the bamboo mat were all covered with bamboo shoots.
She thought Wenxi would only break off a little bit to eat, but she didn't expect her to break off so much.
Lin Yiwan's shocked look made Wen Xi a little embarrassed. "I'm going to dry some bamboo shoots and send them home."
Fortunately, she had stopped trading with the black market. Otherwise, seeing so many bamboo shoots in her house, Lin Yiwan might have suspected that the cooked bamboo shoots appearing on the black market were related to her.
She did make a lot of money from the black market two years ago by selling cooked bamboo shoots.
Lin Yiwan nodded. "Xiaoxi, I came to see you today because I have something to tell you. My cousin, Lin Chuyang, is getting married on May Day. He will hold a banquet at home first, and then another one in the city."
"Lin Chuyang is getting married?" Wen Xi was somewhat shocked. "So soon?"
"Actually, it's not that fast. They met in January, and by May Day it will be almost four months. But my older brother and Cao Jianyu got married after only half a month of blind dating! That's how it is when people get married at this time. They meet someone and think it's okay, so they get married. There's no time to get to know each other. So there are many unhappy people. After all, when you first meet someone, you can hide your true self. But once you get married, all the problems are exposed."
In her previous life, Lin Yiwan had read many period novels, and many of the female protagonists decided to be with the male protagonist the moment they met because of his face. She found it terrifying when she read those novels.
Is a 21st-century woman who travels through time really that stupid?
Do they really not know what kind of men they are?
Back when she and Xia Minglei developed feelings for each other, she didn't immediately get together with him.
Instead, take your time to get to know him.
As a result, Xia Minglei failed her test and she discovered that he had other women in his life.
So how stupid must those time-traveling women be to believe a man at first glance?
Wen Xi nodded. "That's right. We can't do that in the future. We must understand the other party and their family thoroughly, so that we don't end up being forced into becoming a nanny as soon as we step into their home."
"I'll go to Lin Chuyang's wedding with Jiaojiao and Xiaoyue during the May Day holiday," Wenxi said.
Lin Chuyang had once given them firewood and helped them a lot, so naturally he was going to attend their wedding.
Lin Yiwan: "I've already informed you, so I'll head back now!"
Not long after Lin Yiwan left, Tian Shengnan and Song Lan arrived. Seeing their cheerful expressions, Wen Xi asked curiously, "Shengnan, Song Lan, you two look so happy, is something good going to happen?"
Tian Shengnan smiled shyly, "My family sent us a telegram saying that our wedding date is set for May Day, and they asked us to make arrangements and take time off to come over."
"Congratulations on your wedding! You're finally getting married!" She hadn't expected that both families' weddings would be on the same day, meaning she'd have to run between both places.
"Xiaoxi, what are you drying in your yard?" Tian Shengnan noticed the things drying in the yard and asked curiously.
“These are bamboo shoots. I plan to dry them and send them home,” Wenxi explained. “You’re getting married on May Day, and many dishes haven’t been served yet. You need to prepare in advance, otherwise your parents might not have enough time to come.”
“Yes!” Tian Shengnan nodded in agreement. “We don’t know what to prepare either. Xiaoxi, could you please help us? We won’t let you help for nothing; we’ll give you money, okay?”
Wenxi thought for a moment and said, "I can help you prepare mushrooms, wild vegetables, bamboo shoots, snails and fish. You can prepare the rest yourselves. Go to town and ask around; you should be able to buy fresh vegetables."
Lin Chuyang is also getting married on May Day, and Lin Yiwan wants to make sure that Lin Chuyang's wedding banquet is beautiful.
To ensure Lin Chuyang can buy fresh vegetables and fruits, she will definitely be selling fruits and vegetables for several days in a row, so Tian Shengnan and Song Lan can go and pick up the leftovers.
"Xiaoxi, thank you so much. With your help, things will be much easier for us," Tian Shengnan said happily.
With May Day just around the corner, it's time to start planning the wedding.
Bamboo shoots and mushrooms are available in Wenxi, but wild vegetables need to be dug up in the mountains.
