Chapter 45 Heavy Rain
Jiang Goudan's wife, Lu, was a virtuous, hardworking and capable woman. She took the coarse salt given by Li Laosan and started to prepare.
"Sister-in-law, I also want to help. Please assign me some work." Shen Qingqian looked at Lu obediently and eagerly.
Mrs. Lu looked up and saw that it was her. She said quickly, "That won't do. If your eldest brother and the others saw you, they would be heartbroken. Go find Dazhuang and the others. They're over there in the pine forest."
There was a small pine forest next to the cliff cave. Shen Qingqian had just been picking up pine branches there to use for smoking meat.
There was only a little snow today. The adults built a stove and lit a fire here and were busy with their own things. This place happened to face the direction of the pine forest, so they could work while watching the children who didn't want to stay in the cliff cave, killing two birds with one stone.
Shen Qingqian was unwilling to go. "I just want to help with something. I promise not to cause any trouble for you. Otherwise, I will just do the simplest and easiest thing, which is to apply salt to the meat."
This is her purpose. When applying salt, can't she apply the salt from her salt well without anyone noticing?
Seeing that she was unwilling to leave and was looking eagerly at the salt-spreading area, Mrs. Lu could only say, "Okay, but don't get too tired. Tell me when you don't want to apply the salt anymore."
Shen Qingqian immediately ran over happily, and with a few words, she tricked the woman who was originally responsible for applying the salt away.
After drinking the magic spring water these two days, the Shen family didn't seem to feel the cold much. Shen Qingqian endured the discomfort in her heart and skillfully applied salt to the processed meat.
She did not completely abandon the coarse salt provided by Li Laosan, but only pretended to use a little bit, and the rest was all from the system warehouse.
But the salt Li Laosan gave was too little, and even though Shen Qingqian tried to use it sparingly, she still couldn't finish processing all the meat.
"Oh, there is so much meat smeared on it?" Mrs. Lu wiped her hands and came over to take a look. She was shocked and hurriedly checked the meat that Shen Qingqian had placed on the snow.
Shen Qingqian grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed her hands, not afraid of being exposed at all.
Because the salt provided by the system is very fine, it almost seeps into the meat as soon as it is applied to it, and only coarse salt grains remain on the meat.
"Sixth Miss, aren't you putting too little salt on each piece of meat?" Mrs. Lu looked at the evenly distributed salt on the meat. She had no objection to Shen Qingqian's ability to do things, but since there weren't many salt grains on the meat, she was afraid that the meat would go bad.
Shen Qingqian said calmly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, the weather won't be bad now, we can at least have a holiday for half a month."
There are about two hundred of them. If they really want to eat this little bit of meat, it won't last long.
The reason I want to save it is just in case.
Mrs. Lu was skeptical, but the salt was all used up, so even if she wanted to make it again, she couldn't.
"Is it raining?" someone suddenly asked.
Shen Qingqian looked up at the sky. There were light dark clouds gathering in the sky and raindrops were falling sparsely in the air.
"Oh no, it's going to rain heavily soon! Hurry up and pack up and go back to the cliff cave!" An old farmer saw this scene and shouted loudly.
As they were talking, the rain began to fall harder and harder.
Everyone was busy collecting the hyena meat into the cliff cave, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.
"Hey, everyone, be careful and don't step on people!" Li Laosan yelled, and the chaotic situation was slightly under control.
Shen Qingqian also hurriedly ran towards the pine forest, picked up Shen Zhe and Shen Qin in each hand, and ran towards the cliff cave.
But her body was not very strong and she ran out of breath after running a few steps.
Her hands suddenly felt light, and when she turned her head, she saw that Shen Zhe and Shen Qin were already in the hands of Cheng San, who had come behind her at some point.
"Let's go, I'll take them back." Sheng Ze strode forward and said this without looking back.
Shen Qingqian was just about to say something when the rain suddenly got heavier, hitting her face quickly and fiercely. She rushed forward without caring about anything else and returned to the cliff cave before the rainstorm came down.
"Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise it would be difficult to come back in such heavy rain." Shen Yong said while panting.
Chen Xiao looked outside the cave and sighed deeply, "I don't know what's wrong with this day this year, with both heavy snow and heavy rain. When can we set off to northern Hubei?"
