Yun Shanhu said it was nothing, but his expression was quite different; his smug look was all too obvious.
They joked and played around for a short time before going home.
It's so late, everyone should hurry back and rest, since we all have to go to work tomorrow.
The work we do every day is not easy. If we don't get enough rest at night, we can't handle doing such heavy work the next day.
So there wasn't much idle chatter; we just exchanged a few words and then parted ways.
After Yunxi returned home, she looked at the sliced pork fat and the marinated small fish, and wondered whether she should make a move that night.
Many people are still awake at home, excited about the meat they'll be able to eat tomorrow. If someone were to make something smelling so good at home while they're still awake, they'd definitely be discovered.
After washing up, I lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and used my spiritual energy to enter my spatial dimension. I was quite shocked to see the wild boar I had just brought in.
1, 2, 3...
Yunxi counted them. There were eight wild boars that had just been brought in. Besides one male wild boar, which weighed about 400 jin, there were two female wild boars, which weighed about 200 to 300 jin. The remaining five wild boars were half-grown, weighing about 100 jin.
All the meat added up is already a lot, plus the wild boars caught before, there's a lot of wild boar meat in the space, definitely several thousand kilograms.
He used his mental energy to enter the space, looked at the pork inside, and with a thought, he decomposed it all.
When Yunxi saw the finished product, she saw that all of it was cut into strips, and the pork was very clean, with none of the dirty stuff gone.
After glancing at the bowl of chopped lard and marinated small fish, it seemed that tonight was not a good time to work, so we would have to wait until next time.
Fortunately, she didn't regret catching those wild boars; at least she had delivered meat to the villagers.
It's just a little delay, it's not like we can't do it next time, so it's not a big deal.
After thinking it through, Yunxi simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.
The next day, Yunxi got up very early. The first thing she did was take care of the chickens in the backyard, and then she washed the clothes she had changed out of the night before and hung them out to dry in the yard.
After washing up, I made myself breakfast. I cooked a big pot of mushroom soup with three eggs in it.
After the mushroom and egg soup was ready, I ladled out a bowl of it and put the rest into a large basin, then stored it in my spatial storage.
He took out a steamed bun from his spatial storage, ate a bite of the bun, sipped some soup, and occasionally dipped the bun in the soup to eat, quickly finishing his breakfast.
I was tidying up the dishes in the kitchen when I heard the loudspeaker from the brigade headquarters.
Today, however, the loudspeaker's voice was unusually different. Instead of calling everyone to work, it told everyone to bring a large basin from home to prepare for distributing the pig's meat.
I calculated the weight of the six piglets from last night, which was only about 200 to 300 pounds. If every household were to share the meat, it definitely wouldn't be enough.
I imagine that apart from the people who helped hunt wild boar last night, who will get a pound or two of meat, the rest will all be used to make "pig-killing stew." It takes several large pots to cook this stew, with various pickled vegetables and other vegetables added. Each family will get a large bowl, enough for several meals.
Yunxi thought that she didn't need to rush for the time being. She could clean all the pigs and prepare the pork stew in at least two more hours.
You can go when it's time to distribute the pig feed; there's no need to rush now.
Seeing that the sun was already out, I quickly took out the three drying mats from the space. The kudzu root powder on them had been drying for a day yesterday.
Yunxi touched it and it looked quite dry. Just to be on the safe side, it would be best to let it dry for a couple more days.
I also have some dried shrimp that I put in a winnowing basket to dry yesterday. I plan to dry them for another morning today, and then I'll put them away when the weather is nice around noon. After that, I won't need to dry them anymore; I can just take them out whenever I want to eat them.
Then take the herbs out to dry. The sun felt particularly hot when it first came out today, so the sun must be very strong today. Let them dry for another day, and they should be ready.
Another half hour passed in a flurry of activity. Yunxi didn't plan to go to the brigade headquarters to prepare the pork stew. Since she had decided to abstain from meat for a month, she would stick to it.
Besides, she doesn't lack meat at all; there's so much meat in her space that it's enough for her to eat for several years.
I imagine that the people gathering pig feed today aren't very enthusiastic; they're all thinking about eating the stewed pig. Since I'm going up the mountain alone, no one will pay attention to me.
I didn't render the lard last night, but I did fry the small fish, and I've been thinking about it ever since.
I have to finish it today no matter what. I can use the time to render oil and fry small fish in the deep mountains and forests, and I can also pick some medicinal herbs along the way.
As for the meat in the brigade headquarters, whether it's meat to be allocated to oneself (after all, it's wild boar that one discovered), or the stewed pig meat, just consider it as letting others have a little more to eat.
After making up her mind, Yunxi picked up her basket, locked the door, and left home.
Take the same path you took to dig for kudzu last time. This path is a bit more secluded, and most people don't like taking such paths; they're used to taking the familiar routes they know.
So you can't actually see a single person on the road. All the kudzu roots you saw on the road last time have already been dug up and put into the space.
I made kudzu root powder once, and I still have two-thirds of the kudzu root left in my storage space. I plan to make more in a while.
The kudzu root powder that has been dried temporarily is enough for my own use.
We arrived at the place where Yunxi dug the trap without any obstacles. Actually, after not being here for so many days, the trap had long been abandoned and was no longer usable.
A few days ago, when it rained heavily, the entire trap was filled with water, making it impossible to catch prey.
Yunxi glanced at it and left immediately, continuing to walk upstream along the stream.
I had already explored this entire area during my last herb-gathering trip, so this time I planned to venture further afield and arrive at a new location.
This place is secluded enough that when I want to get something, I won't be easily discovered by others. I can also gather a lot of medicinal herbs in this new place, which is a win-win situation.
Soon, Yunxi found the secluded place she had always dreamed of.
