Chapter 57 Shelling
Tang Yue slept very soundly, as if the missed sleep was made up at once. After waking up, she lay in bed lazily and didn't want to get up.
I entered the space directly from the bedroom. The climate in the space was never too hot or too cold. I wouldn't feel cold even if I went in wearing my sleeping clothes. I hadn't really entered the space for many days. Every time I entered the space with my mental power and then left. I walked around along the fields, but I always felt that it was not beautiful enough. Except for the colorful flowers in the orchard, the rest of the place was not pretty enough.
Tang Yue plans to plant climbing roses along the ridges of the fields, in various colors, which will look beautiful in the future. The fruit trees in the orchard are about to bloom, but planting roses requires a fence. Even if there is no wall, there must be a fence. The space is too large, and the number of trees and bamboo strips needed to build a fence is too large. Otherwise, it would be better to just plant roses. Roses come in many colors, so you can plant a different color in each section, and it should look beautiful along the fence.
After walking for a while, I returned to the yard. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I took a brown sugar steamed bun from the warehouse and a bowl of white porridge. The steamed bun and white porridge were both good.
After breakfast, Tang Yue went out of the space and returned to the bedroom in an instant. She put on all her warm clothes, cotton-padded jacket and hat, went back to the kitchen and added some more firewood. Seeing that the water in the pot was boiling, she took out a 100-jin stainless steel bucket from the space, poured the boiling water into it, covered it with a lid and put it back into the space. She drew a few buckets of water from the well and poured it into the pot. From then on, she would go to fill it with water every few days. After this day, there would be a lot of boiling water stored in the warehouse, and she would not have to go through the trouble of boiling water for a bath again. She had not paid attention to it before and it wasted it.
Returning to the bedroom and sitting on the kang, Tang Yue took out a sweater from the kang cabinet and continued knitting, preparing to finish her own clothes first and then knit for her parents-in-law and husband.
I went to get some boiling water in the morning and knitted until noon, preparing to cook. I had killed so many rabbits the previous two days, and the rabbits were so cute, so of course I had to make a spicy rabbit head. I planned to make it for noon today.
Go to the kitchen, fill up the boiling water in the pot, put it into the space warehouse, then fill the pot with cold water, wash the other pot, separate the rabbit meat and head, divide it into ten pieces, take out the rabbit head, wash the rabbit head first, cut it into two halves, heat the pot, add onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, jiao, cinnamon, bay leaves, pepper, chili, etc., stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the rabbit head into the pot, stir-fry until half-cooked, add salt and soy sauce, stir-fry, add ink to cover the rabbit head, cover it, let it simmer until cooked, and when the water is almost gone, you can put it in a bowl.
While there was still some time left, Tang Yue washed herself and went back to the bedroom to continue knitting. After knitting for half an hour, she put the dishes on the plate, leaving two rabbit heads and putting the rest into the space warehouse. She then filled half a bowl of rice from it, and today's lunch was ready.
I first picked up a rabbit head to taste it. It was spicy and numb. It tasted really good. After finishing lunch, everything else was fine, but my mouth was a little bit painful. I quickly got a cup of spiritual water from the space and drank it. Then I felt better. Now Tang Yue doesn't drink water from outside. She always drinks the spiritual water in the space.
I cleaned the table and washed the dishes, then continued working on the sweater.
By the time Tang Yue finished knitting her sweater and trousers, four days had passed. She knitted early in the morning and late at night during these days, and finally finished it.
After a simple dinner, Tang Yue went into the space. She hadn't seen the pigs for a few days, so she put some sweet potato vines in and left them alone. She went to the living room and filled the boxes sent by Uncle Li with facial cream. There were more than 1,500 boxes, so it still took some time. She dug in the cream with a spoon and then rubbed it with a dagger. It took less than a minute to finish a box.
Finally, Tang Yue felt that filling with milk was too slow, so she used her mind to control it. In less than half an hour, she filled the box. She didn't even use up a big bucket of facial cream. It was quite durable.
Tang Yue wants to go to the commune tomorrow to deliver the face cream and chestnuts and pine nuts to Brother Hu. She doesn't want to go to the commune again before the New Year and plans to concentrate on knitting sweaters at home.
I took out all the unpeeled chestnuts and pine nuts and started peeling them using my mind. There were so many of them that it took me more than five hours to finish peeling them. I piled the chestnut and pine nut shells outside the yard to dry so that I could use them for burning firewood.
Looking at the bacon on the bamboo poles in the yard, which had been drying for a week, equivalent to more than ten days outside, Tang Yue walked up and touched it, and found that it was quite dry, so she put it in the warehouse. As for the remaining pickled meat in the warehouse, she would dig a pit to smoke it when she came back.
The peeled chestnuts and pine nuts were also packed into sacks, and 1,000 kilograms of each were kept for my own consumption. Although it was a bit much, fortunately there was space to store them.
Seeing that it was too late, Tang Yue decided to sleep in the space tonight. As she had more time, she went out of the space first, filled the pot with hot water, poured some water into the pot, and added some coal into the stove. Although she would not sleep outside, she had to keep the room warm.
I went to the bathroom and put the bathtub into the space, then entered the space from the bedroom and took a bath first. The space was not that cold and the water did not cool down that quickly, so I could soak for a while longer and wash my hair at the same time. I didn't dare to wash my hair outside because it would be frozen as soon as it touched the water. A basin of hot water turned into a basin of ice in less than two minutes after I brought it out. This is not a joke, the weather here is just that cold.
After washing up, she went to the bedroom and took out the jewelry given by her mother-in-law to have a look. They were indeed top-notch. She put them in a box and put them on the dressing table. Then she took out the jewelry she had traded with Brother Hu and had a look. She had an idea of what was there. In addition to what she had already seen, there were also whole sets of jewelry, accessories, pearls, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. They were very large and not common, especially diamonds, which came in many colors: pink, blue, blue, red and white. There were not many of them, but they were all top-notch. She didn't know where Brother Hu got them from. The rest were some jade. With the ones here, Tang Yue had collected almost all the colors.
Tang Yue closed the box, put it back in the warehouse, dried her hair, and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep. Since she got the space, she has not slept for a few nights in the space, and she also wanted to let herself adapt to the weather outside.
The ratio of space to outside time is 3:1. When Tang Yue woke up, it was just daybreak outside. She got up quickly and washed up. Today she suddenly wanted to eat hot and sour noodles. She took out the vermicelli she had bought before from the warehouse, put it in a pot and cooked it. She took a large bowl and put oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and a spoonful of chili powder from the sun-dried chili pepper in it. She poured a little oyster sauce and sesame oil into it, then cut two onions and put the chopped green onion in, keeping it for later use.
Seeing that the noodles were almost cooked, she scooped them out and put them in a bowl. She then threw a few lettuce leaves into the pot to blanch them, put them in the bowl, took out the still hot pork rib soup from the warehouse and poured it in. She stirred it and it was ready to eat. Tang Yue tasted it and found it very delicious with its sour and spicy taste. She finished the whole bowl and felt full. She was so satisfied with the meal.
