Everyone knows that the treasure buried in the yard has long been taken away. Could someone else be coming for the treasure?
Or is it that the people behind Chang Hua think she ruined their plans and want to take revenge on her, or Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue?
The next morning, after Wenxi got up, she put the chickens, ducks and geese she had brought back into the chicken coop and raised them with the chickens at home for two days. Since she was going to eat meat today, she would start eating them slowly from tomorrow.
They can't keep raising them forever, because there are quantity restrictions for raising poultry at this stage. If others know that they have so many, someone will definitely cause trouble.
That's how people are; they can only take advantage of others. Once they feel their own interests are threatened, they'll forget everything that she did for them and only try to gain a tiny bit of profit for herself.
After feeding the chickens, Wenxi picked some vegetables from the yard, keeping only what she could eat today and storing the rest to send to Jin Changqing in a couple of days.
She is currently in postpartum confinement and needs a balanced diet, including meat, vegetables, and fruits.
Then Wenxi drew water from the well, filled the large water vat with water, and covered it with a transparent film. This way, there was no need to boil water for bathing, and it would also save some firewood.
After that, she went to the kitchen to start a fire and boil water. She then brought out three breakfasts and placed them on the table. Today's breakfast consisted of boiled eggs and sandwiches. She made the sandwiches herself using ingredients she bought at the supermarket. She also poured a glass of milk for each person. The milk was taken from the refrigerated section of the supermarket and was ice-cold. Drinking it made her feel comfortable all over.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue hadn't gotten up yet, so Wenxi went to the yard to water the vegetables with well water that she had drawn earlier and which wasn't so cold anymore. After watering the vegetables, the whole yard felt even cooler.
During breakfast, everyone enjoyed a sandwich and a sip of milk, it was such a delightful experience.
"Xiaoxi, I really admire you. You always manage to bring back good things every time you go out," Shen Jiaojiao said with a satisfied look.
In the past two years, she has enjoyed a wonderful life that others may never experience in their entire lives, thanks to Wenxi.
She didn't know if she would still be able to live such a good life if she was no longer by Wenxi's side.
However, she will definitely follow in Wen Xi's footsteps. Anyway, family members are unreliable, so it's better to stick with Wen Xi.
"I'll cook something delicious for you guys at noon today. You can invite Wang Xinru over for lunch," Wen Xi said. "I won't be going to the watermelon patch today."
"Should we call Yao Hongbo?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.
"Let's call out to him. Otherwise, if he sees Wang Xinru coming, he'll definitely follow. In this unfamiliar place, there are only three of us from the same hometown. He'll definitely want to get close to us. We'll probably run into each other all the time when we go back. Let's try to get along well!"
Yao Hongbo is her classmate, and he must live not far from her home. If she starts her own business in the future, she can ask Yao Hongbo to work for her. Since she has to hire people anyway, it is definitely more reliable to hire someone she knows.
After Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue left, Wen Xi locked the courtyard gate and then slipped into the system warehouse. She had been collecting goods for seven days in her second brother's village and had indeed collected quite a lot of goods!
Except for those who couldn't move or walk, everyone in the village who could work went out at night to catch eels and crayfish, so she really caught quite a lot in that village.
Summer is the season for these kinds of foods, and Wenxi plans to resume cooperation with the black market. After all, who would complain about having too much money?
Wenxi first used a machine to process the snails, removing their tails and cleaning them thoroughly. Wenxi then extracted 100 jin (50 kg) of snail meat from the snails. Although 100 jin seems like a lot, it will weigh several tens of jin (10 kg) after drying!
Wenxi planned to process the remaining snail meat into braised snails and sell them on the black market. However, since everyone was having lunch together today, there wasn't enough time, so Wenxi didn't process the snails immediately. After processing the snails, she moved them to the warehouse, keeping only the ones for lunch today.
Wenxi made a big pot of braised snails, ladled them out into a basin, and then started processing crayfish using a machine, which really made things twice as efficient.
After Wenxi cooked a big pot of crayfish, she started cooking pork. She told them yesterday that she had bought pork, and if she didn't cook it today, it would go bad.
Although she had put the pork in the warehouse long ago, no one else knew!
Wenxi made braised pork with potatoes, lotus root and pork rib soup, stir-fried green peppers with pork, and stir-fried cowpeas with pork. She also made tomato and egg soup.
Although she had been busy in the system kitchen for most of the day, not much time had passed outside. After Wenxi came out of the kitchen, she brought out the cooked food, then made a large pot of plum juice and added a few ice cubes.
Then Wenxi flashed into the system kitchen and began processing snails. She wanted to sell all the snails she had collected from her second brother's village, while keeping the ones she collected here for when she got back.
With only a few months left, she had to speed things up.
Wenxi set an alarm for the check-in system, and when the alarm rang, she came out of the kitchen from the west.
At noon, Wang Xinru and Yao Hongbo arrived together. There were seven dishes in total for lunch today, which surprised them both. Wang Xinru asked, "Wenxi, is something good happening today? Why did you make so many delicious dishes again?"
As she spoke, she handed the biscuits in her hand to Wenxi. No matter how good their relationship was, she couldn't keep coming over to freeload meals!
She always brings a gift when she comes to eat. As for food, she doesn't have any fine grains, only coarse grains, so she doubts Wenxi would eat them.
Yao Hongbo also handed the White Rabbit milk candy in his hand to Wen Xi.
"Nothing good happened today. I just went to town yesterday and brought back some meat. It's too hot now, and meat can't be kept for long, so I invited you all over for a meal." Wen Xi accepted the food and placed it on the long table next to her. "Everyone, please sit down and eat. The sooner you finish eating, the more rest you can go back."
After that, everyone sat down to eat. The bowls were filled to the brim with snails and crayfish, looking like small hills. Everyone ate with their hands, finishing these two items before moving on to the others.
After lunch, Wang Xinru and Yao Hongbo returned to the educated youth settlement. Huang Minghao stood by the gate, watching them return together, and asked curiously, "Where did you two go? Aren't you going to eat?"
It's not the time for the double harvest yet, so everyone is still cooking for themselves.
“We’re skipping our meals and saving them for you, so you can eat more, right? This is a good thing for you, so why are you questioning us?” Wang Xinru glanced at Huang Minghao and walked inside.
