Zheng He felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she hadn't done anything special, she had just helped her find her way, so why should she need to give her a fish?
"Baozhu, don't be so polite. You didn't do anything wrong. You were just getting familiar with the way. Hurry up and keep the food for yourself!"
"Sister Zheng He, I'm not being polite with you. You know me, I always have a big catch when I go fishing. I happen to have so many, so giving you one is nothing. Please accept it."
He pulled her directly to the doorway, then took a fish out of the house and handed it to her—of course, he had secretly taken it from the small space—before pushing her into the yard.
"Sister Zheng He, hurry up and take the fish back to cook dinner. I won't stop you."
Zheng He looked at the fish in her hand, which weighed at least three pounds. Thinking that Baozhu was not short of fish to eat, she stopped refusing and carried the fish into the house.
Tang Baozhu felt a little better after seeing that she had accepted the gift, as she was most afraid of owing people favors.
Looking at the glass noodles I bought, and since I don't need any meat, I decided to make a stew of pickled cabbage and lean pork with glass noodles.
Just thinking about the taste makes my mouth water. It must be so delicious that I can eat an extra bowl of rice tonight.
That evening, Tang Baozhu finally got to eat the sauerkraut and lean pork stew with glass noodles that she had been craving. It was indeed quite delicious, but she still felt that it wasn't as good as Li Feifei's cooking.
It seems I need to focus more on cooking skills. To satisfy my cravings, I need to practice my cooking techniques more.
Li Feifei is probably one of those people who are born with a talent for cooking. After all, given her physical attributes, the fact that she can still make ordinary food taste so delicious shows that she definitely has talent.
Since she made up her mind to improve her cooking skills, Tang Baozhu has been studying cooking techniques without missing a single meal. Perhaps because she has put so much effort into it, she has indeed improved a bit compared to before.
Of course, given the short timeframe, the improvement is limited.
By the time the snow melted and I was ready to go to the market, I thought my cooking skills were pretty good.
"Baozhu, are you ready? Don't forget, today's market day, we're about to set off!"
Tang Baozhu had gotten ready early in the morning because she hadn't forgotten that today was the day she was going to visit the market. When she heard Li Feifei calling her from outside, she quickly responded, "I'm here! I'm all ready and about to leave."
He picked up his basket, took the remaining 100-odd yuan, left the house, locked the door, and prepared to set off.
"Feifei, what do you usually plan to buy when you go to the market? It seems like you don't have anything to buy, maybe just some food."
She couldn't figure it out. She felt like she wasn't lacking anything. Even the vermicelli she was particularly craving had already been planted in her space. She planted ten acres of it, and the vermicelli she made would be enough for her to eat.
"It's rare for us to have a market here, so we should take a good look around. Besides, we've been cooped up all winter, so it's a good opportunity to get out and have some fresh air."
Tang Baozhu nodded in understanding. She had her own little space to relax, something others didn't have. After staying indoors for so long, she really needed to walk around and unwind.
However, she also noticed that the people who had been tanned during the autumn harvest had all become fair-skinned after spending the winter hiding away, and were no different from when they first came to the countryside.
Even she herself is now fair and tender, especially since her wood-type ability has been upgraded by one level, making it even more effective.
The only thing she didn't cultivate was the cultivation technique she obtained in her previous life. It would be too difficult to cultivate in a small world lacking spiritual energy, and in the end, it would just be a lonely experience anyway.
She'd rather focus on cultivating her wood-based superpower. Her superpower level follows her soul, and the feeling of being able to take it anywhere is wonderful, so she doesn't want to waste time on cultivation techniques.
As soon as I left the village, I saw many aunties, grandmas, and uncles preparing to go to the market. It felt like the whole village was out, but some people were still allowed to stay in the village.
Tang Baozhu felt a gaze fixed on her. She turned her head and saw that it was Jin Meng. She then casually turned her gaze back.
I just saw Jin Meng and suddenly realized that it had been several months since I last saw him. Moreover, when I looked over, he subconsciously avoided my gaze.
It wasn't that he had no feelings or no longer liked it; it was as if something was forcing him to stop liking it.
Jin Meng already knew that the educated youth from the educated youth compound would go to the market, and he also made a special excuse to go to the market because he wanted to run into Tang, the educated youth. When he saw her, he found that the girl was even more beautiful than before, as if she had suddenly grown up.
Unfortunately, the girl wasn't interested in him, and he couldn't bring himself to pester her. Then he suddenly remembered that the girl wasn't dating anyone, which meant there was still a chance. The feeling of discomfort in his heart instantly subsided a bit.
After walking for an hour, I could see the market was bustling in the distance, and then I found the comrade I had just met last time standing in the same place where we had all gathered last time.
Looking straight ahead in the direction they came from, Tang Baozhu was spotted as soon as she appeared, and they strode over.
Everyone fell silent and stood still, watching Gu Chengxu stride over. They felt someone nudging their waist and knew they were teasing them.
"Comrade Gu, what a coincidence!"
Worried that Gu Chengxu might say something inappropriate, Tang Baozhu greeted him beforehand as soon as she approached, to avoid him saying anything unsuitable.
It can only be said that Tang Baozhu was overthinking things. How could someone as upright and active-duty as him not know the rules? It can only be said that she was overthinking it.
"Tang Zhiqing, I had something to discuss with you, so I waited for you here. I didn't expect to actually find you."
"Comrade Gu, is there anything I can do for you?"
Looking at so many people around him, Gu Chengxu couldn't bring himself to say anything.
I felt that what I was about to say was seriously inconsistent with my image, so I hesitated.
Tang Baozhu had a rough idea of what he was going to say. With so many people around, she felt a little embarrassed. "Feifei, Comrade Jianguo, why don't you go and browse the market first? After I finish speaking, I'll go straight to the market, and we'll meet up here again when it's time to go back."
"Okay, just call out if you need anything, there are plenty of people here anyway."
Li Feifei winked and teased Tang Baozhu, then plunged into the market with the others.
Jin Meng walked at a moderate pace, following behind the educated youth. When he saw a man talking to a young girl, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But she wasn't some young girl or anyone else, so she had no right to interfere. Feeling particularly upset, she went to the market.
