After packing their things, the four of them split into two groups: Yao Tongxu and Xiao Yan went to the school to pay the fees, while Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu went to the recycling station to buy a table.
After Yao Tongxu and Xiao Yan left, Yao Tongjia sat down and said, "Why did you cut such a big pig into pieces last time? I don't know how to butcher it!"
Since the last time, they haven't had a chance to take it out and have had to keep it in the space. Fortunately, the space is at a constant temperature, which can preserve its quality, otherwise it would be a waste.
Xiao Gengwu pointed to the ground: "Do you have anything to put on? Put something here and we'll deal with it together."
Yao Tongjia had no other good ideas. First, she closed the doors and windows tightly, then covered the ground with thick plastic mats, including the corners of the walls, because she was most afraid that meat would splatter onto the walls, and such gray walls could not be cleaned properly.
Then there's the axe from last time, a basin of pig's blood, and two sharp kitchen knives.
Yao Tongjia didn't sit down either. She and Xiao Gengwu each took half of the pig. As soon as they took it out, the pig's blood started to flow out, so they quickly used a basin to catch it!
Once the bleeding had stopped, Yao Tongjia quickly put the blood into her spatial storage, as leaving it outside would have too much of a bloody smell and would alert Granny Huang.
The two of them each took half of the pig and chopped it with an axe. Yao Tongjia had chopped the pig in half in one go last time, which was thought to be due to a moment of panic.
Unexpectedly, this time, even with an axe, he chopped down the pig very easily. Was the original owner of this body a strongman? Or is he himself a strongman?
She really didn't know. She had never done any manual labor in her past life. If she asked Xiao Gengwu now, he certainly wouldn't know either. She couldn't possibly ask Aunt Yao and her master, "Do you think I'm a strongman?"
If that happened, I'd really be dragged away and dissected. Anyway, it's better to be stronger than weaker. In this day and age, you still need to have some self-defense capabilities, especially since the public security situation is so poor!
The two men quickly chopped the pig into large chunks, put away their axes, and switched to cleavers. It took them quite a while to finally cut the pork into small strips.
That way, I can take one out to eat from time to time, and it will nourish my body without me having to worry about it.
After packing everything up, the two quickly opened the door, washed their hands, and prepared to run out to buy a table.
Fortunately, the recycling station wasn't far away, otherwise they would have been exhausted.
With a clear goal in mind, the two of them headed straight for the tables. They found two limping tables, each with one leg missing.
They found two more sticks that were as tall as the corner of the table, which they could use to support the table later.
The two men didn't dare linger, so they grabbed the table and left. The old man at the gate took one yuan from them and sent them away.
The table was a bit heavy, and their hands were really sore from chopping pork for over an hour. They had no choice but to turn back and ask the old man for a cart.
The old man asked them for a two-yuan deposit before he would lend them his cart. Two yuan it was, after they paid the two yuan, they put the table on the cart.
Xiao Gengwu pushed the cart, with Yao Tongjia helping to support it. It was more than 40 minutes later when the two of them arrived at the yard.
The old woman was preparing to cook when she saw them pushing their things back. She snorted coldly, "Don't you need to eat?"
Yao Tongjia then remembered that she had rushed out earlier and hadn't even brought the ingredients yet. Without paying attention to the table, she ran back to her room.
I took rice from my spatial storage and some corn that was outside, intending to make a mixed rice dish.
The vegetables I brought today, along with a half-fat, half-lean wild boar, make for a decent meal.
Yao Tongjia put down the ingredients: "Grandma, my master is here today, so please make more. I'll give you some of the vegetables here."
"Why make so much trouble? It's just a little extra cooking time, and you can render the pork into oil. I'll just render the oil, that'll be enough. You don't need to give me any more vegetables!"
"I'll give it to you this time, but I won't next time. Thank you for your help, Grandma!"
After saying that, Yao Tongjia left, and Grandma Huang muttered behind her, "So meddlesome!" But the corners of her mouth turned up.
Yao Tongjia returned to the doorway and moved the tables inside. Xiao Gengwu was about to take the cart back when Yao Tongjia asked, somewhat worried, "Should I come with you?"
Xiao Gengwu has no problem chatting with her at the moment, and he also talks to the few close family members, but she is still worried that he may have some social anxiety towards outsiders.
Xiao Gengwu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Shall we go together? I'll wash the table when we get back!"
Yao Tongjia washed her hands and tidied her hair: "Let's go!"
As the two stepped out the door, they ran into Yao Tongxu and Xiao Yan, who were both carrying books.
Yao Tongjia went over to help carry the books: "I thought the books wouldn't be distributed until tomorrow!"
“If the people here can find used books themselves, they don’t need to buy them; every little bit helps!” Xiao Yan took a breath: “What are you going to do?”
"I bought two tables, but I can't bring them back, so I borrowed a handcart. Now I have to push them back to return them. Brother Xiao, wait for me a moment, I'll be right out!"
Xiao Gengwu still gave a soft "hmm". Xiao Yan was worried that Yao Tongjia would be too tired and wanted to suggest that Yao Tongxu go instead, but she saw that her son's eyes were fixed on Yao Tongjia.
He could only swallow his words. Oh well, he'd let Yao Tongjia go with him. After he and Yao Tongxu cleaned the table, they should have nothing else to do.
Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongjia returned to the scrap metal recycling station and saw that someone had dumped another truckload of goods.
Yao Tongjia looked at the broken porcelain shards and felt a little regretful. She wondered how many of them were genuine pieces. It was such a waste!
Suddenly, an idea struck her: why not go and see if she could salvage one or two items? After all, she had a storage space to put them away, so she wasn't afraid of being investigated!
Thinking of this, seeing Xiao Gengwu stop the car, Yao Tongjia took the cart and pushed it to the old man: "Grandpa, here's your cart back!"
The old man walked over expressionlessly, checked the cart and found it undamaged, then took out 2 yuan and handed it to Yao Tongjia.
Yao Tongjia put the money into her spatial storage and pulled Xiao Gengwu back into the waste recycling station.
This time they weren't in such a hurry; they slowly flipped through the pages and searched carefully.
Xiao Gengwu asked, puzzled, "What are you looking for?"
Yao Tongjia whispered in Xiao Gengwu's ear, "Let me see if there are any treasures. Anyway, I have a place to put them!"
Xiao Gengwu understood immediately. He had recently learned a lot and discovered that at this time, many prohibited items could not be seen. If they were seen, they would be taken away, and in serious cases, he would be criticized and demoted!
However, Yao Tongjia had a Qiankun bag, so he wasn't afraid. He carefully picked through the items. He had read relevant books and had a good memory, so he quickly selected a bunch of things.
Then they made a human wall for Yao Tongjia and had her put it away. Yao Tongjia herself didn't know anything about these things and hadn't found many of them.
Seeing that Xiao Gengwu had found many items, he quickly put them away. He figured he might as well try his luck, because if even one of them was genuine, he would be rich!
The two searched for a long time, and finally, feeling embarrassed to come out empty-handed, they brought out some non-prohibited books to pay for the bill.
