Chapter 100 The Life of a Sent-Down Youth in the 1970s (19)



When Tang Baozhu was cleaning the fish, she would set the fish head aside, rub salt directly onto the fish, and then take it out to dry in the sun after a week or so. That's how she made the salted fish.

"Baozhu, why did you chop off your fish head?"

"I figured since there's not much meat on the fish head anyway, it would be better to make soup, which would be more nutritious and wouldn't be a waste."

"Your idea is good, but with so many of us, there seem to be too many fish heads. And the weather is quite hot now, so it probably won't last that long. At most, we can just hang them in the well, which will only delay things for a couple of days."

"It's alright, just leave it hanging in the well. Try to eat as much as possible these next couple of days, and don't chop up the rest."

Tang Baozhu noticed that they kept the fish intestines and fish bladders. She didn't want to say that he didn't care for these things, so she asked them if they wanted them. Seeing that they didn't mind, she gave them to them.

On such a hot day at noon, I didn't feel like eating at all. I first blanched the wild vegetables I had dug up, then put them outside to dry in the sun, using a small piece of oilcloth as a mat.

For lunch, I'll have cold noodles. That way, I won't feel too full, and it won't take up too much time. In the afternoon, I'd like to take a walk in the forest. Anyway, the animal enclosure is ready in the small space.

After lunch, Tang Baozhu locked the door and prepared to leave.

When she came out, there was no one in the yard. Everyone must be taking a nap. She decided to take care of the animals first, and then go to Uncle Gen's place to learn his craft. She had always envied his basket-weaving skills.

Following the same path, she arrived at the place she had reached last time. This time, she wanted to go a little further in. Although her combat strength wasn't very high, her wood-type abilities were quite useful.

Although she couldn't directly kill large prey with her superpowers, she could still use them to ripen vines and bind them. She hadn't forgotten that she still had a weapon, which was given to her by the big boss.

Tang Baozhu kept walking inside, and she never let go of any prey she encountered, as long as she could deal with it. The prey she kept to raise were put into the small space and the robot was asked to throw them into the breeding farm. The prey she didn't intend to raise were killed by the robot.

The harvest along the way was quite plentiful. We caught a lot of large wild boars. As for the wild boar piglets, we didn't kill them, but planned to raise them so that we would have a continuous supply of meat.

There were quite a few pheasants and rabbits, and she didn't kill any of them. She planned to raise them all. As for the few pheasants and rabbits from last time, they were all being raised quite well now. Perhaps there was something in the space that attracted them, and they wouldn't come out to harm the crops in the fields.

As we walked further in, we could hear a buzzing sound in the distance. Suddenly, I realized it sounded like bees. Although I have a lot of honey stored up, it would be nice to raise some bees myself, and the honey would be purer.

Carefully approaching the beehive, I used my wood-based abilities to remove the beehive and instantly entered the space.

All the bees flew out, buzzing incessantly, searching everywhere for the person who had destroyed their home. After flying for a while without finding anyone, they flew back into the hive.

Tang Baozhu waited in the space for about ten minutes, then came out. Seeing that the beehive was no longer moving, it knew that the bees had probably all gone inside. It carefully walked forward and instantly put them into the space.

Tell the robot to place the honeycomb a little further away from you. Anyway, there are fruit trees planted all around the space, so just pick any fruit tree and put them on it.

Tang Baozhu was outside the space, constantly watching the activity inside with her consciousness. In particular, when the robot carried the beehive to the fruit tree, all the bees inside came out and kept stinging him. Fortunately, he was a robot and felt no pain, and the stings couldn't penetrate his skin.

If it were me, just thinking about it is terrifying. Luckily, I have a robot to share my pain.

Only after the robot had placed the beehive did the consciousness leave the small space.

I felt like I'd been wandering around the mountain for quite a while, and I was worried that the other people at the educated youth settlement would look for me. I didn't want to worry them, so I decided to go back.

Worried that people might find it strange, she picked some wild vegetables on her way back. Anyway, she didn't plan to eat them. There were plenty of vegetables in her space. She could dry them into dried wild vegetables and eat them if she ever wanted to. You never know.

When she returned to the educated youth settlement, everyone asked her where she had been. Seeing that they were genuinely worried about her, she felt a little embarrassed for making them worry.

"Thank you all for your concern. I don't usually take afternoon naps. I went for a walk in the mountains behind the village, and it didn't seem dangerous. I was planning to walk around a bit more, but I was worried you would all be concerned, so I just picked some wild vegetables and came back."

"You're so diligent. I'm not going to pick wild vegetables anymore. I heard from Feifei that we could go to the village to exchange some dried vegetables. I think dried vegetables taste much better than dried wild vegetables."

“Your idea is pretty good. I’m not ready to do it anymore anyway. So next time you go to buy dried vegetables, call me along. I plan to use my remaining time to learn how to weave baskets from Uncle Gen. I think the baskets he weaves are especially beautiful.”

"Aren't you tired? I don't want to study, it's too tiring. Anyway, my parents said that as long as I take good care of myself and stay safe, I don't need to be very capable. They will support me."

Sheng Xueli spoke with particular pride, and that arrogant feeling was overwhelming. No wonder she sometimes seemed a bit brainless when she spoke; she must have been spoiled too much by her family and was too naive!

"It's not a matter of whether I'm tired or not. It's just that I'm particularly interested in that basket. I feel that when I learn something that interests me, I don't feel tired."

Tang Baozhu felt that if she only had such a short life, she probably wouldn't have bothered learning so many useless things. But ever since she encountered the system, she knew that she had achieved a different kind of immortality.

It's always useful to learn more. If one day you throw her into the deep mountains and forests, just thinking about it makes me feel like I need to learn more about how to survive in those places.

I chatted with them for a while, washed the wild vegetables again, and then went back inside.

Just like the wild vegetables from this morning, they were blanched and then placed outside to dry. The weather was quite nice, which was perfect for drying more things.

I seem to remember that Star Carlo gave her something, something that could roast dried fruits, like peanuts and melon seeds. You put them in the machine, and when you take them out, they're already roasted.

I feel like I haven't had a moment's rest all day, and I don't feel like cooking. I'll just have some fruit.
