Later, Chen Ming had a holiday and went to the commune to pick up the package and came back directly to see her at the educated youth site. However, this time the size of the package was not as exaggerated as last time. It was just some normal candies, snacks and dry goods.
In the afternoon, the eldest cousin helped Xu Manman go to work again. Fortunately, Xu Manman calculated the approximate date and prepared it. The day before yesterday, she asked Liu Jinfeng to help her exchange a cured rabbit, which was said to be the stock of the Li family father and son.
Yes, it is the family who rents out the house at a high price in the summer.
Although the hunters moved down the mountain to settle down, they still couldn't abandon their skills. They would occasionally go up the mountain to improve their meals and also as a form of exercise.
However, the exchanges with the educated youth were all done secretly. After all, it was still the era of nationalization, and even the things in the mountains and forests were public property. It was okay to occasionally get some small prey for yourself, but if you used it for personal gain, you would be punished.
Xu Manman didn't dare to ask others to exchange for fresh goods, so she just exchanged for some preserved ones. The animals in the space have been bred for several rounds this year, and she no longer goes to the mountains to dig traps.
The boys would occasionally bring back some spoils, and she would always be included. But after all, it wasn't when Chen Ming was around, and she didn't contribute much, so it was hard to share it with others.
I'll return some of the money later, so it's not like I'm taking advantage of anyone.
In addition to the cured rabbit that Xu Manman exchanged, there was also a pheasant and a rabbit brought by her eldest cousin. They had been processed before she came. I guess her eldest cousin has not been idle over there these days.
Xu Manman boiled fresh rabbit meat and cured rabbit meat with lard, added chili peppers, and added mushrooms and dried vegetables to make rabbit meat chili sauce. After cooling, she put it in a jar and sealed it. In this kind of weather, it can be kept for a few more days.
When you are ready to eat, take out a little and mix it directly with rice or with noodles and steamed buns.
The pheasant is stewed directly with chestnuts, soaked mushrooms, soaked sweet potato vermicelli, and a circle of corn tortillas stuck on the edge of the pot. Done!
After working all afternoon, Chen Ming had a full meal and returned to the educated youth site with the sauce made by his cousin and two jars of salted eggs. Now, he didn't have to worry about food for at least a month.
Soon it was time for Xu Manman to have a holiday. After going to the commune as usual and improving the food for her cousin, Xu Manman walked through the wooden door and came to Jing City.
Breathing the air of the big city, Xu Manman couldn't help but sigh, no wonder everyone wants to squeeze into the city, although now it can't compare with the high-rise buildings and busy traffic of later generations,
But unlike the hustle and bustle of the countryside, the unique spirit of the city people made Xu Manman, who had stayed in the countryside for a long time, feel a little disappointed.
After all, she had seen the world, so Xu Manman quickly adjusted herself and happily went on her half-day tour of Beijing.
I bought donkey rolls, honey three-knife dumplings, pea yellow dumplings, ox tongue biscuits, and jujube flower cakes at the dim sum shop.
I went to the grocery store and bought authentic Erba sauce and pickled vegetable dumplings that were more expensive than meat in my previous life.
Xu Manman also went to the department store and bought a pair of white sneakers, a pair of black leather shoes and a pair of cloth shoes.
There was no other way. She had plenty of fabric and could make her own clothes, but she had to buy shoes. The pair she was wearing now was sent by her family when she went to the countryside last year.
Xu Manman shopped while she walked around. When she bought too much, she would find an empty corner to put the things away and continue shopping with empty hands.
Having at least some experience of signing in in Taipei City, Xu Manman did not touch most of the sign-in points this time, and only signed in at banks and state-owned hotels for the time being.
Needless to say, the bank and the state-owned restaurant signed in, and as expected, the culinary skills were again outstanding. The capital is indeed different. This time, the person signing in was at the royal chef level.
Although space machines can be made, it feels different to have the skills to do it yourself.
After signing the cooking contract, Xu Manman happily went to the state-owned restaurant and ordered a bowl of authentic Beijing mixed noodles and a plate of fried pork.
I was enjoying my noodles when I heard the conversation coming from the next table.
A boy said, "Oh, I heard about the flood in Henan Province. They said many counties were flooded."
"That's right. It rained heavily for so many days that the reservoir collapsed. It really caused a flood. Poor people living below." Another boy replied with a heavy tone.
"How many people are going to be left homeless all of a sudden? What a horrible God! We've only had a few days of peace, and it's already tormenting us like this."
"Don't say that, if you're willing, donating some money or food would be considered as doing your bit."
"I donated it after I got my salary yesterday. It was organized by our factory. I donated one month's salary."
"So how are you going to eat this month?"
"I still have some left from what I saved before, so I won't starve."
