Seeing that Zhang Jiayang was no longer pressing the issue of his relationship with Shen Mu Ning, Chu Mingxu took out the money he had just received from Sun Sheng.
They made a total of 120 yuan this time, which was 60 yuan each if split between the two of them.
He took out Zhang Jiayang's share and stuffed the money into his hand.
Zhang Jiayang initially thought he had been tricked by his brother Xu and was trying to refute him.
I felt Xu Ge's hand reach out to me and put a stack of money into my hand.
Because Chu Mingxu sensed that after he held the money securely, the hand that had been stuffing the money in withdrew.
He could only hold onto the money tightly, afraid that if he didn't hold on tight, the money would fly away.
However, he felt that he had only been helping out today and hadn't contributed much.
Therefore, he didn't want the money.
"Brother Xu, I only followed you today to help you out and we just took a walk around the mountains."
"You can't share the money from selling your prey with me; you keep it for yourself."
As he spoke, he tried to stuff the money back into Chu Mingxu's hand.
He knew that since Xu Ge's family members were all sent to the countryside, he had received no income other than his allowance.
Back then, every time Xu Ge received his allowance, he would find a way to send it to Chu's grandparents and uncles.
He saved whatever supplies he had and sent them to his family.
Now, he has also become an educated youth sent to the countryside.
In the Xinshan Brigade area, earning 100 yuan a year is considered top-notch.
Therefore, he knew that Chu Mingxu currently had no way to make money and relied on hunting to earn a little money each month.
Leaving aside the other uncles and cousins in the Chu family, he still has to support his grandparents.
He had previously gone to secretly check out the conditions of the cowshed in Xinshan Brigade.
It's not even as well-built as the woodshed in their educated youth settlement.
Grandpa and Grandma Chu have heavy workloads every day, and they don't eat well, so their health must be poor.
If he gets sick one day, even if Xu-ge wants to raise money, it won't be enough time.
But he's different; his family feels sorry for him.
Before coming to the Xinshan brigade, I slipped him three hundred dollars.
His mother and sister also said that they would send him things and money every month from now on.
Therefore, he never had enough money to spend.
This time, he insisted on going up the mountain with Chu Mingxu because he wanted to see what his brother Xu was capable of.
Let's see if he retains his physical strength, endurance, and reaction speed after leaving the military.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has worked diligently for so long and wants to slack off and have some fun.
But he had been to the commune once before, and there was nothing fun about it.
It just so happened that Brother Xu was going into the mountains to hunt, so he wanted to join in the fun.
Chu Mingxu ignored Zhang Jiayang's rambling and didn't even look at the money he handed over.
"Alright, take it if you want it. I can't let you do all this for nothing."
“But, Brother Xu, you need the money more. Besides, I’m just hanging out with you. How can I take this money?”
Zhang Jiayang knew that regardless of whether he was with him today, his brother Xu would still have reaped so many prey.
I'm just a nobody; even if I'm short of money, I'd be too embarrassed to take it.
But Chu Mingxu wasn't so easily persuaded. Since the two of them were going together today, they should naturally split the money equally.
“Jiayang, I know you’re not taking this money because you think I’m short of money.”
"But as you saw today, I had a good haul from hunting, and I was able to improve Grandpa and Grandma's lives a bit."
He knew Zhang Jiayang's thoughts and ideas, but nowadays, apart from being a little tired and overworked every day, his family had nothing else to do.
He just needs to take care of his grandparents often, but he doesn't need to worry about his father and uncles.
"Alright, then I'll shamelessly take it. If you ever need money, Brother Xu, remember to ask me for it."
Seeing that Chu Mingxu had put it this way, he knew that his brother Xu wouldn't take the money back.
Then I'll just have to keep it myself.
However, it doesn't matter where the money is; as long as Brother Xu needs it, he will take it out immediately.
After the two had cleared up their differences, they quietly returned to the educated youth settlement and dozed off for another three hours.
The next morning, he went to work with the other educated youth as if nothing had happened.
The next morning, Shen Mu Ning paid special attention to their condition and found that they were almost as if they hadn't stayed up all night.
Even she couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be young; you can't tell even if you stay up all night."
However, she is the one who cheats the most, after all, she has mental powers to cheat.
Actually, even without sleeping, one could sustain oneself for ten or eight days simply by practicing.
However, after experiencing the terrifying life of the apocalypse, she wanted to enjoy the present moment even more.
While it's still important to improve your skills, there's no need to rush.
That's why she chose to sleep only six hours a day.
Shen Mu Ning took the day off again today. With nothing to do, she idly studied recipes at the educated youth settlement.
However, the dishes on this menu are all elaborate dishes, not very home-style.
In short, it's a dish that requires various seasonings and takes a long time to prepare.
Given the current situation, she couldn't even gather enough ingredients for the first dish, so she decided to give up and abandon the project.
As for the dessert recipes in the second half of the cookbook, those are even more impossible to make.
She thought about how she had plenty of grains, vegetables, and meat.
Yesterday I picked so many wild fruits; besides those that were outside, there are still quite a few left in the storage space.
So today is a day when I don't have to go to work and I don't want to go up the mountain.
So she took out a small clay pot from her spatial storage, which she had found yesterday when she bought food for Ke Zheng'an and his grandson.
People nowadays aren't so particular; if they have an iron pot at home, they won't buy a clay pot to make soup.
Basically, it's about using one pot for multiple purposes, and resolutely avoiding spending money unnecessarily.
Of course, this doesn't include the wealthy families living in the city.
So this clay pot sat in the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time, but no one bought it.
However, she had originally decided to go deep into the mountains to pick all kinds of wild fruits, and make jam or dried fruit from the ones she couldn't finish eating.
So when I saw this clay pot, I just bought it.
She happened to have nothing to do today, so the clay pot came in handy.
Shen Mu Ning cleaned the clay pot and then took out her iron stove, which she had barely used yesterday.
The stove remained stationary because it was always placed in the kitchen.
So the stove that had just been taken out was still burning with flames.
Add some more firewood to burn, so that when you're making the jam later, you won't need to add any more.
Shen Mu Ning set up the pot, quickly washed a lot of blueberries, and put them directly into the pot with water.
While the water hasn't boiled yet, we don't have to keep standing by the stove stirring it.
She cleaned the remaining wild fruits, but she didn't know how to prepare them all.
For example, she knows that raspberries can be used to make jam or dried and steeped in water.
