A few people quietly followed the main group to do private work, and everyone was very satisfied.
The villagers were very satisfied, especially when they heard the news that grain would be distributed. Suddenly, nothing else mattered. They could carry baskets and sacks on their backs and walk briskly.
That's why they say grain is the lifeblood of farmers.
Wang Hongmei was not seriously injured; Wei Shujuan helped her walk.
Chen Hongli was no match for the snake. Even if it wasn't venomous, she was genuinely injured. There was no other way but to make do with what was available and create a simple makeshift snake. Several male educated youths, including Wang Jiancheng and Li Jianye, took turns carrying it down the mountain. The first thing they did upon returning to the educated youth compound was to call Old Chen over.
Chen Hongli values her life very much, and at this point she doesn't care about spending money anymore, repeatedly stating that...
"If you're not sure, go to the hospital in the county town,"
This left Old Chen speechless.
"If you keep nagging, this wound will heal."
Seeing his serious expression, as if he had lost his patience, Chen Hongli finally shut up and watched as Old Chen applied the medicine, even suppressing any cries of pain.
Upon learning that he shared the same surname, Old Chen didn't hesitate to purse his lips, and as soon as he left the room, he started talking about it to Liu Weimin.
"This female educated youth is too delicate. She only has two small eyes, is it really worth making a trip to the county hospital? Is she just wasting her money?"
Hearing that everything was alright, Liu Weimin was completely relieved.
"Being spoiled requires resources. Let's see how long she can keep it up. If she can maintain her spoiled lifestyle, then I'll admire her."
The little commotion here didn't affect Jian Dan's good mood at all.
Given the chaos at the educated youth compound, the group of friends have been storing their harvest at Lin Dongfang and Mingzhu's compound these past few days. Mainly, Jian Dan's place is just too small, and if it rains again, all their efforts will be for nothing.
They poured the chestnuts together; those from the previous two days had almost dried. While sitting and talking, the group kept their feet moving, gently crushing the chestnut shells under their feet. After drying for several days, the shells had become brittle, cracking open with a single crushing motion, and then the smooth chestnuts would pop out with a little more force.
You're always happy with the fruits of your own labor, no matter how you look at them.
We didn't get to eat the chestnut stewed chicken from a few days ago, and this time not only Li Yan, but everyone else was also thinking about it.
"Shall we stew that chicken tonight?"
The focus is naturally on the two head chefs, Tan Yajun and Lin Zhaodi. Lin Dongfang is currently in the apprenticeship stage, and Mingzhu's kitchen skills are not even as good as Simple's, so we can skip mentioning her.
She was also very self-aware and took on the peripheral work.
"I'll go get you some firewood."
Jian Dan pulled out a pheasant and a rabbit from under the basket.
"Here, let's stew this too. Don't skimp on this meal, eat your fill."
Chen Jianguo, who was standing next to him, pulled out two large fish.
"Let's add this to our menu as well."
Li Yan looked at this, then at that, and then at the brown chestnuts scattered on the ground, feeling her mouth water even more uncontrollably.
"This food is like Chinese New Year."
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
Lin Dongfang was also taken aback.
"My family only has one pot."
Looking at these ingredients, a simple and delicious recipe automatically appeared in my mind. It was something she had eaten when she happened to pass by Haihui Temple. She thought it was delicious at the time, so she specially asked the master chef at the base to learn how to make it and even made a lot of seasoning packets.
"Don't bother, just clean it all up, stew it all in one pot, and stick a ring of flatbread around it,"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"One pot? Stewed together?"
Things that seem completely unrelated to them are all good ingredients to cook on their own, but what happens when they're put together?
The two chefs hesitated for a moment.
"I can make it, but I can't guarantee the taste."
Are you trying to make them ruin their skills?
I was just waiting to hear those words, so I simply got up.
"You guys pack up first, I'll go home and get you some seasonings, specially made, I guarantee you'll all be amazed by the taste."
She was naturally confident about the food that would become popular even in later generations.
I'm afraid they'll be thinking about the next meal after they've eaten this one.
He had just passed by his house without going in, but now he was naturally greeted warmly by the little ones. Returning to get it was just an excuse anyway, so he simply let them all out, then turned around and locked the door again.
"Let's go, let's get some fresh air."
One day, the little ones, who had been holding back for a while, came out and ran around having a blast.
The area near the village entrance was sparsely populated, so there weren't many restrictions. He took the spice packet and went back to Mingzhu.
Tanya and her husband are both talented cooks. They understood immediately after hearing a simple explanation and waved Tanya away.
"Alright, alright, let's watch this."
"You despise me?"
Tan Yajun pushed the person out directly.
"Yes, yes, I dislike you, so why don't you cry for me?"
Simple was right; a big pot of stew made the group of friends very happy, and they exclaimed that she was too late.
"How was this made? Wow, hiccup! It's so delicious!"
The last time I ate it was many years ago, in a past life, which is definitely a lifetime ago. The familiar and nostalgic taste, I ate quite a bit of it, even though it was simple.
"I wasn't lying to you, was I? Don't let my mediocre cooking fool you, I can eat it."
The friends were all amused.
"That's true, you really do eat a lot."
But speaking of which, you really need to take good care of yourself. You're still growing, so take advantage of these last few years to grow even taller!
Jian Dan led the four little ones back for a walk, and two figures stepped into the village entrance in the afterglow of the setting sun, heading towards that dark courtyard.
A figure tilted its head to look, muttering to itself.
"They haven't turned on the lights yet at this hour. Could they have gone into the mountains again?"
Another slightly burly figure also spoke up.
"Does she go into the mountains often?"
The first voice answered without hesitation.
"Yes, she even caught some bad guys in the mountains. Didn't she rescue you in the mountains? Don't worry, she's very capable."
The man chuckled softly.
Are you so sure?
"Of course! She's saved me several times, so what more can I say?"
As she approached her doorstep, she seemed to hear faint voices, intermittent and broken. Jian Dan didn't pay much attention, continuing her leisurely pace, calling to the puppies that had already been released.
"Good fortune, happiness, peace, joy, time to go home for dinner."
The stew in the iron pot had a strong flavor, so she didn't dare feed the little ones. She planned to cook a special meal for them when she got back.
Upon hearing this, the little ones immediately slammed on the brakes, turned around, changed direction, and ran back, squatting at the gate, wagging their tails and waiting for Jian Dan to open the gate and feed them.
Even the simple things made him laugh.
"You're all little gluttons!"
This was immediately followed by a childish cry, which could be easily guessed as a pout. Without saying anything, the child took out the key to unlock the door, which amused the people behind.
"This puppy is really smart! It can understand what I'm saying at such a young age?"
The little ones all turned around in unison, facing outwards as one.
"Woof woof woof!"
