On this day, Zhou Yanhong came back after dark, her face as gloomy as the sky. Just as Yi Qingqing expected, she borrowed the room for another day.
Qian Lailai checked the car carefully and found no problems, so he agreed again.
Afterwards, she eagerly ran over to share with Yi Qingqing that she had earned the second 2 dollars.
Yi Qingqing shook her head, "Then you still have to be happy for a few days!"
"Do you know something?" Qian Lailai asked suspiciously.
Yi Qingqing denied it seriously, "What can I know? I'm just guessing. What if I guessed it right?"
Qian Lailai: “…”
After seeing Qian Lailai off, Yi Qingqing went to work in the vegetable garden in the backyard.
With her hard care during this period, the vegetable seeds that were sown previously have sprouted and are growing well. Today is the perfect time to divide and transplant them into the fields.
She planted common seasonal vegetables such as peppers, loofahs, leeks, cucumbers, eggplants, beans, onions, etc. She planted them later than other families in the village. Although she did not plant much of each, the variety covered almost all the vegetables commonly eaten in Xiangshui Village during this season.
When they had a dinner by the river before, Yi Qingqing collected some seeds from the melons that Li Mengxue brought, dried them, and planned to plant them in her private plot next year.
After planting and watering, Yi Qingqing's vegetable garden finally looked better and was no longer bare everywhere.
After taking care of the vegetable garden, Yi Qingqing went back to the house, scooped out a bucket of freshly boiled water, and brought it to the small firewood shed.
There was not much meat left in her backpack, and her hunting skills were not yet good enough to hunt wild game, so she planned to kill the chicken she got when she signed in last time.
Even this was done by her deliberately simulating a pheasant in the hunting skill teaching mode, and she practiced slaughtering pheasants many times before she dared to try it.
You must be quick, accurate and ruthless, so that the animal cannot even scream and kill it silently.
I practiced well and didn't make any mistakes during practice.
Before the pheasant could crow, they successfully cut its neck, drained the blood, scalded it in boiling water, plucked its feathers, and finally built a fire to burn off the remaining tiny hairs.
After cleaning the chicken thoroughly, she tried to put it into the system backpack, and to her surprise, it went in right away.
Even the chicken feathers on the ground can be put back into the backpack.
It seems that things obtained by signing in can be put back no matter what state they are in!
Unfortunately, the chicken can still be put into the backpack now. Once she cooks it into a dish, she can’t put it in anymore, because cooking will use a lot of ingredients that are not signed in, and if they are mixed together, the system will not recognize them.
But now she has the skill of portable space.
After work tonight, she went to the old carpenter to exchange a lot of wooden bowls just for this.
Generally speaking, this whole chicken is quite fat, and she cannot finish it in one meal. She can only cut it into pieces and cook it in batches. But if the quantity is small, it will be troublesome and many complicated dishes cannot be made.
In reality, the more sophisticated and complex the dishes you make, the more your skills will improve.
But now, with her portable space, she can cook the whole chicken, then portion it out in bowls and put it in her portable space.
It will be the same as when you put it in and when you take it out, always piping hot.
Next time you want to eat it, just take out one portion. It’s easy and convenient.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't cook every day, others would still notice it. She would have wanted to cook a big pot of rice at once, then put it in the space and take it out slowly to eat.
Unfortunately, there has been no smoke coming out of the chimney for several days. Even a fool would know that there is something wrong.
Although you need to boil water for washing every day, how much water can a person use every day? In a short while, it is not enough to cover up the truth.
It is a waste to burn firewood as a cover.
So she planned to make the staple food every day, and for the meat dishes, she could make more at a time.
This way people won't notice the problem and it can also control the frequency of the meat aroma coming from the house.
Section 37
Not only were the houses in the educated youth camps poorly soundproofed, but the smell of cooking could also be smelled from far away, especially the smell of meat being put into the pot.
Although she had fish and meat in her backpack, she didn't dare cook them every day.
She only went to the county town once a month, and the meat she bought was never enough for daily cooking, so except when she entertained guests, she only cooked meat every few days.
But now, I make a larger quantity at a time and put it in my backpack. Next time I want to eat it, I can take it out. The smell won’t spread out and it’s easier to hide from others.
She planned to stew the chicken with wild mushrooms, which she had already soaked, and she could put some cabbage hearts at the bottom.
I have exchanged some dried mountain products with the aunts in the group before, including dried mountain mushrooms, which are very good for stewing chicken.
A chicken, mixed with wild mushrooms and cabbage, was stewed and filled seven full bowls. There was still some soup base and some meat and vegetables left in the pot.
She put all seven bowls into her personal space. What was left in the pot was enough for her today.
He took out a soup bowl, filled it with two large spoonfuls of rice, pressed it down, and then poured all the vegetables and soup in the pot over the rice, soaking the rice completely with the soup.
Yi Qingqing carried her dinner and sat on the threshold of the back door, enjoying the moonlight, listening to the cicadas' chirping, and admiring her own small yard while eating.
The wild mushrooms, cabbage and rice are soaked in the soup and taste better than chicken, which makes people's appetite grow.
She was busy a little late tonight, but having this bowl of rice now made her relax and feel satisfied.
The other people at the educated youth site had finished their meal early, but someone suddenly smelled the fragrance of the cooking and wanted to have another bowl.
I clearly ate, but it feels like I didn't. My appetite is rising.
"This fragrance, no doubt, must be from Qingqing's house," Qian Lailai sniffed. All the big meat eaters in the educated youth site were around her, Li Mengxue on the left and Yi Qingqing on the right.
She was stuck in the middle, often smelling the aroma of meat coming from the left today and from the right tomorrow.
After smelling it for a long time, I began to figure out some tricks. If the aroma was just the aroma of meat and made people feel that their stomachs were short of oil, then it was made by Li Mengxue. If the aroma made people feel that taking a few breaths would make the rough food in the bowl taste better, then it must have been made by Yi Qingqing.
Although she hadn't eaten at the moment, the smell made her feel satisfied from her nose to her stomach after taking a deep breath. It must have been made by Yi Qingqing.
