Chapter 37 Second Update Spicy Rabbit
The apology meeting suddenly turned into a statement of regret meeting.
After the passionate speeches of Han Jing and Hua Feifei, most villagers had a better impression of the educated youth, and the four educated youth were officially integrated into the Wangjiagou production team.
After the meeting, Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei still had a lot of room for improvement in their work, but there were obviously more people willing to help them and understand them, and they also taught them many tips on working in the fields and in life.
For example, when applying fertilizer or manure to private plots, do not water them directly. If there is not enough manure, you can borrow or exchange it with the team first. Land without fertilizer cannot grow much food, especially since their land is of poor quality.
Also, the winter in Wangjiagou is very cold. It is a bit late to store for the winter now. Try to store more dry firewood at home. It will be too late after the first snow. You can "exchange" some with villagers who have enough firewood. When there is sunshine, you can not only dry the firewood, but also the cotton-padded jackets and quilts. It will be warmer to cover yourself with the cotton-padded jackets that have been patted hard. The stream water will freeze, so store more water for daily use. If you are too busy, you can ask the mountain kids in the village to help you. Give them some snacks. In the cold winter, hands and feet are easy to freeze and crack or even swell, so prepare some frostbite ointment...
These suggestions are the life experiences of the villagers passed down from generation to generation and are really useful to them.
So Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei did not sit idle after work and started making plans for the winter.
As for the leaf elm, it has existed for a long time, but apart from being related to food and the kitchen, it is basically a simplified version for wintering and is not suitable for ordinary people.
When the cold wind blew, Hua Feifei's nose started to itch and she couldn't help but sneeze.
To be honest, the temperature is already a bit cold now. I don't feel it when I'm working in the fields, but I'm so cold in the morning and evening that I just want to curl up in bed. Besides the kang, my second favorite place is next to the stove in the kitchen.
Hua Feifei and the others basically all wear sweaters. Now they don't dare to take a shower or wash their hair every day. First, hot water cools down quickly, and by the time they take off their clothes in the bathroom, they are already freezing cold. Second, wet hair can easily make people catch a cold, and typhoid fever can freeze people to death.
But Ye Yu is different.
Ye Yu still took a shower and washed her hair every day, and she didn't wear very thick clothes. When the cold wind blew, everyone else huddled inward, but she didn't show the slightest sign of cold.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"No, nothing." Hua Feifei shook her head, but she was wondering in her heart, why is this little sparrow still chirping and getting close to Ye Yu? Is she really not a monster from the deep mountains and valleys? She looks like Ye Yu, and her strength is similar.
That night, Ye Yu no longer went out for a walk.
The next day, many young people in the team were yawning, with a pair of obvious or not obvious panda eyes. It seemed that many people went up the mountain after work yesterday, but these people all looked depressed, probably because they didn't gain much.
Even Hua Feifei and the other two had heard about it, especially Hua Feifei. She felt that time passed quickly while listening to the aunties gossiping, and even forgot about the hard work.
At lunch time, it was Ye Yu's turn to cook. She took out two fat rabbits and started to play with them in the yard.
Hua Feifei couldn't hold back any longer. She immediately thought of the incident that was circulating in the village last night. She couldn't help but ask, "Ye Yu, did you go hunting in the mountains?"
"Yeah." Ye Yu had never thought of hiding them completely. These people were all good people, and revealing some of them appropriately would help improve her daily life.
Han Jing's eyes lit up and he was ready to take action.
Being suppressed by Xu Fei, Xu Fei rolled his eyes. He was obviously a handsome man in his prime, but now he was like an old woman when he met this fool. He glared at Han Jing unhappily and said, "Can you climb up the mountain now?"
They had to take a break on the way back from work. If Ye Yu hadn't given them massages occasionally, their bodies would not have been able to adapt to the intensity of the work so quickly.
Han Jing was stunned for less than a second before he came to his senses. It might not work now, but it might work in the future.
Xu Fei didn't pay attention to him and said to Ye Yu: "It's dangerous in the mountains. Try to go out less at night."
"Yes, yes. Wild boars have appeared in Nanshan. Few villagers go there, and the fewest people live there," Hua Feifei nodded in agreement. "There are also poisonous snakes. Last year, Aunt Baiyun's nephew was almost bitten by a five-step snake, and the villagers have not found its nest. I don't know if there are other five-step snakes. There are also endless bamboo pit vipers in the bamboo forest of Xishan."
When Xu Fei heard the word "snake", he shuddered. When he was a child, a rat snake broke into his house. After being bitten by the snake once, he became afraid of grass snakes for ten years. He felt numb all over when he heard this.
"Should we buy some realgar powder?" Realgar is not really effective in repelling snakes, but modern realgar powder contains sulfur powder, which is the main ingredient for repelling snakes.
The topic has changed.
While they were discussing snakes and realgar sulfur powder, Ye Yu had already cleaned the two fat rabbits.
With a few clicks, it was cut into small pieces.
Ginger was used to remove the fishy smell. Sichuan peppercorns were missing, but the dried chilies exchanged from Xu Fei were still there. They were stir-fried with rabbit meat, ginger and scallions. As soon as they were put into the pot, the overbearing spicy flavor came out.
Hua Feifei and the other two also stopped discussing the snake and swallowed their saliva frantically.
But it was impossible to let Ye Yu share food with them. She could finish all the dried chilies by herself. Even if she was willing to share, they would feel embarrassed... probably.
The only solution is exchange.
Hua Feifei and Han Jing both come from well-off families and carry a lot of cash with them. Only Xu Fei comes from an ordinary family and has to be very careful with his spending.
But at this moment I really don’t want to be frugal. Rabbit meat is really delicious. If I can’t eat rabbit meat, I can just chew some chili peppers to satisfy my craving.
Since saving money is not an option, the only option is to spend. I never thought that there would be a day when I would have to bow down for a bite of rabbit meat.
How can young people of literature and art be like this?
Xu Fei chewed chili peppers and spat on himself, then went back to his room and took out his notebook. He had already written two articles, and he took them out for his companions to review.
“The handwriting is so beautiful.”
Han Jing was the first to exaggerate.
Different from Ye Yu's unconventional style, Xu Fei, who is less than 20 years old, has been practicing calligraphy for more than ten years. He learned it from a neighboring Chinese teacher. He mainly practiced soft-pen cursive and hard-pen regular script. Every page of his notebook is bright and shiny, and every character has straight horizontal, vertical and horizontal strokes, which is very friendly to the eyes.
To be honest, Xu Fei's literary level is really good. In his writing, he describes the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of four people vividly.
The second article in particular elevates the theme at the end, which is very much in line with the mainstream style of this era.
"That's great. It will definitely be in the newspaper." Han Jingshu gave a thumbs up.
Hua Feifei felt a little embarrassed because she was praised several times in the article, and nodded vigorously with a red face.
Ye Yu calmly suggested: "You can use more colloquial language."
With spiritual food, the three of them finally stopped focusing on the spicy rabbit cubes next door.
It's still a bit difficult.

Before going out in the afternoon, the four of them brushed their teeth at the same time. However, when they went to work, except Ye Yu, the other three were still questioned by the villagers.
The main thing is that the flavor of the chili is really overbearing and can linger for a long time. You may not be able to smell the aroma of the meat, but you can't help but smell the aroma of the chili.
The three of them laughed it off.
After all, hunting cannot be done openly and aboveboard, it can only be done secretly. Even a fool like Han Jing knows that he cannot put the evidence in public. Perhaps the city dwellers who have been involved in the black market understand this better than the villagers.
What made Hua Feifei and the other two upset again was that when they got home from work in the evening, they saw Ye Yu taking out two rabbits and two fat grass carps from somewhere, which were even fresher than what they had eaten last time.
!!!
Did she stir up trouble?
Ye Yu did not waste dried chilies to make spicy diced chicken in the evening. Instead, she cooked her best dishes - grilled fish and grilled rabbit. By the way, there were still some spices in the space that had been used up.
"Gurgle, gurgle..." Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei's stomachs were so irritated that the sweet potatoes, corns, potatoes and even the smoked fish sauce in their hands had almost lost their fragrance.
"Chirp!" Although it was not alien beast meat, the little sparrow flew out and circled around Ye Yu even more vigorously.
This little fellow doesn't need a rope or a cage, and he can't be driven away.
"No," Ye Yu frowned, "I can't catch insects myself and eat you now."
The sparrow was probably really obsessed with eating, so obsessed that it even understood the word "eat" without any instruction. When it heard the word "eat", it chirped even more happily.
"Store food."
"grumble."
It was like a video doll that had its switch turned off. It suddenly became quiet, without even flapping its wings. It flew to Ye Yu's shoulder and stopped, staring at the roasted rabbit in front of it with its small eyes.
No one could have a bone of Ye Yu's roasted rabbit, but she also cooked a pot of pickled fish. The fish soup could be given to others a fingernail's worth of it, and more fish soup and fish meat could be exchanged appropriately, preferably with food.
Change! Change! Change!
Han Jing and Hua Feifei seemed to have seen a use for their wallets. They didn't mind and were even happy to spend it on meat.
It’s really nice to have a teammate to lead you.
Xu Fei covered his face sadly. For the first time in his life, he had an idea of "hatred of the rich."
The ancients were right:
“Food is the most important thing for the people.”
After more than ten days, most of the crops that could be grown in the autumn had been planted, there was less and less work in the fields, it was becoming increasingly difficult to earn work points, and the weather was becoming increasingly colder.
That day, when Hua Feifei, Han Jing, and Xu Fei went to work, they were all asked if they wanted to take a day off together the next day to go to Pingquan Town to buy some winter supplies.
It was almost December, and the four pigs in the village needed to rush to the Pingquan Town Agricultural and Subsidiary Station to hand in their tasks. This was a big event, and many people in the village participated.
Also, Uncle Cai in the team would also drive a donkey cart with us. Even if there were too many people to fit in the cart when we returned, we could put the things we bought on the donkey cart and take a ride.
It is often like this when people gather in the village. Unless there are special circumstances, people basically gather in groups of four, six, seven or nine people. When they leave the village, they are not afraid of being bullied by outsiders.
Hua Feifei raised her hand high:
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
Although she had only been in the pigsty for less than twenty days, she had raised them after all, so she had contributed her share of hard work. How could she not join in the fun on this day of harvest?
Han Jing and Xu Fei also went.
These days, Ye Yu had roasted sparrows for almost every meal. The stock they had was almost drained by Ye Yu, so it was a good time for them to go to the town to replenish it.
Also, several of them had written some manuscripts and wanted to send them out from the town post office.
The focus of submitting the manuscript was on Xu Fei. They all agreed that Xu Fei's articles were extremely well written and the reason they were not published in the newspaper could only be due to a mailing error or human blindness.
Hua Feifei and Han Jing were not so confident in themselves, and they mainly thought about sending letters back home.
When Sister Guihua asked, Ye Yu agreed immediately. Food could be bought in the village, but oil, salt, sauce and the like still needed to be replenished in town.
