When Li Feifei heard that Baozhu had spent so much money on a jar of medicinal wine just out of curiosity, she felt it was not worth it at all.
Worried that the little girl was too young and lacked foresight, he quickly reminded her.
“Baozhu, we live in the countryside and don’t have many ways to make money, so we have to be careful with our money. That way, we won’t have to worry if we need it in an emergency.”
Tang Baozhu knew that she meant well. It was probably because Li Feifei was the female educated youth who had been here the longest, and she had a mother hen protecting her chicks when it came to all the new female comrades.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and won't spend money recklessly anymore."
Seeing that Baozhu wasn't just going through the motions, Li Feifei knew she had taken it to heart, so she nodded in satisfaction and said no more.
It took almost another hour to get back to the educated youth settlement, and it was already lunchtime, but unfortunately, I didn't want to move at all.
Thinking of the two frozen pears she bought, she quickly put them in water to thaw them. If they tasted good, she planned to freeze more herself.
Because she didn't go out from the educated youth settlement every day, Tang Baozhu seemed to be stockpiling ice at a rather slow pace.
Her biggest worry was that some educated youth would see her when they went to the toilet at night, which made her very anxious.
He slapped his thigh, thinking that when he was on patrol, he used a sharp sword to dig out ice blocks. He could easily dig out ice blocks from the lake. As long as he was careful, who would know?
This method is indeed quite good, but you have to be careful not to get caught. And with the weather so cold now, the ice will freeze over again overnight after you dig it out, so no one will notice.
After the two frozen pears thawed, Tang Baozhu made a small slit and sucked them directly into her mouth. They were icy cold, with a shaved ice-like texture. She thought that eating a frozen pear in the middle of summer would be incredibly refreshing.
There was a rather high snowdrift behind the house where firewood was stored, and no one would go there to check. She decided to bury more snow in the snowdrift when no one was looking.
After finishing the two frozen pears, Tang Baozhu took the basket and went into the small space. She had heard that the longer the pears were stored, the better the medicinal effect would be, so they couldn't be put in the warehouse.
She had the robot set up a few shelves in the yard of the cabin, knowing she would definitely brew more jars according to the recipe later.
Tang Baozhu went to the warehouse to check according to the prescription and found that there were quite a few missing medicinal materials, at the very least she didn't have snow lotus.
After leaving the space, I'm going to ask everyone in the red envelope group if they have any. Once I've gathered all the medicinal herbs, I'll ask the robot to brew the wine. The robot should be quite strict in its control, ensuring that there's no more or less than the required amount.
Tang Baozhu's consciousness entered the red envelope group, and she just asked everyone if they had snow lotus or other medicinal herbs.
Xu Rui quickly sent a message saying he had it and would send it over right away.
Tang Baozhu simply gave one of the three gourds of immortal spring water that the celestial master had given her to Brother Xu, so that she could accept his gifts with a clear conscience.
Immortal spring water must be a very precious thing for people in the cultivation world, so this at least lessened my guilt a little.
Xu Rui's feelings were quite the opposite. He felt a moment of sadness when he saw what Baozhu had sent him, but he also knew that if he kept sending things to Baozhu, it would definitely cause her some trouble.
I could only accept the gifts and give her a little more, since no amount of gifts could compare to the value of the fairy spring water.
This time, Tang Baozhu readily accepted the gifts from Brother Xu, and she no longer felt conflicted.
Tang Baozhu handed everything over to the robot and just waited to drink the medicinal wine.
Tang Baozhu came out of the small space and went outside, intending to bury a few pears in the back, but seeing that everyone was eating outside, she could only wait until everyone went to rest before doing so.
The outside temperature is so high that if you pour a basin of water on it, it will freeze instantly. Even if you put a basin of water outside, it will freeze very quickly.
Thanks again to the red envelope group and the group admin for the gift. With the fire crystal, she will never feel cold again.
When no one was in the outer yard, Tang Baozhu put on waterproof deerskin boots and went to the backyard. She dug a large pit next to the woodpile, put some pears from the small space into it, and filled the pit before covering it with a thick layer of snow.
Tang Baozhu planned to freeze some fruit every day. Anyway, there was so much fruit in the space, and the time flow was faster in the small space, so she wasn't worried about not having enough fruit.
He made a mark on it with a small stick and then went back inside.
Before we knew it, it was Chinese New Year. Li Feifei said, "It's a rare occasion to celebrate the New Year, so let's all get together for a meal and make it more lively."
Tang Baozhu had no objection and took over the rations and a piece of cured meat, which was considered as adding a dish for everyone. During the New Year, everyone brought out their best things.
I also saw them take out vermicelli, which reminded me that I had said I wanted to stock up on some vermicelli, but I had completely forgotten.
Although robots can make vermicelli, most of what's planted in the space are herbs, and only a few grains were planted at the beginning. If the robot makes vermicelli, it's still very fast. There's not much, so I'm too lazy to ask it to do it.
We can only wait until the herbs in the space mature and are harvested, then plant some sweet potatoes on the empty land, and then ask the robot to do it.
I had braised pork with vermicelli for dinner, and it was really delicious. The main thing is that Li Feifei's cooking skills are quite good.
It's rare to have such a good meal during the Lunar New Year, and everyone is quite happy. Although conditions were indeed quite poor in this era, people are also quite easily satisfied.
After the meal, everyone sat together and chatted. Tang Baozhu didn't know what to say, so she just listened to what they were saying.
I'm still thinking about going fishing at the lake tomorrow and stocking up on ice. I also want to keep freezing the frozen pears in the warehouse tomorrow.
Tang Baozhu stayed with the girls in the dormitory until almost midnight before finally dispersing.
She was secretly relieved that she had the fire crystal so she wouldn't feel cold. Although they kept telling her to get on the kang (heated brick bed) to make it warmer, she felt a little embarrassed to climb onto someone else's kang, so she didn't get on it.
After taking a bath in the small space, I saw a wooden frame in the yard filled with jars and pots when I was about to come out. I thought to myself that the robot was quite capable.
Once outside the small space, lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), she felt that this New Year was rather desolate. There wasn't even a firecracker outside. Although she no longer had the emotions from her previous life, she still had the memories of it. In comparison, she instantly felt that the present was too miserable.
