After putting everything away in the yard, Yunxi took out a bowl of chopped green beans from her spatial storage.
At first, we didn't have enough salt, so we just kept the cut salt in storage. Now we've bought two more pounds of salt, and we'll have several thousand pounds of salt in a few days, so we don't need to be too frugal.
I chopped too many green beans, and the salt wasn't enough; in the end, about a third of the green beans were left unsalted.
I put the remaining green beans into my spatial storage, mixed the rest with salt, and then put them in two jars, filling them completely. I placed them in the storage room next to the kitchen.
I put the ones I packed last time in here, but I don't know if they're still safe to eat. I'll open them again in a few days to check.
If they're edible, I'll store them all in my spatial storage to save them from taking up space outside.
After an hour of work, the green bean harvest was finished.
While it was still early, Yunxi prepared to chop up the hawthorns in her space and blanch the wild vegetables there as well.
After dark, I went to my private plot again to water it, so that the land wouldn't dry out again after a few more days.
He took out a large basin, took out all the hawthorns from his space, cleaned them all, and then put them back into his space.
Yunxi plans to remove the seeds from the hawthorns inside her space. It would be too troublesome to do it one by one outside.
She has now learned to be lazy whenever possible and not to exhaust herself.
Yunxi's innate space did not disappoint her; with a single thought, all the seeds inside the hawthorns were extracted.
Yunxi felt that her natal space was still not good enough. Although her natal space was quite large, she couldn't plant or raise living things in it. What was the use of having such a large space? She simply couldn't use up all of it.
Suddenly I realized that it's better than others having no space at all, but I shouldn't be too greedy.
Take out the hawthorns with the seeds removed, put them in a bowl with a cutting board and knife, and start chopping.
Yunxi felt that she had mastered the skill of cutting these things, and not only was she getting faster, but she also no longer had to worry about hurting her hands.
Fortunately, there weren't many hawthorns picked at this time, only about 30 jin (15 catties). Yunxi spent half an hour cutting them up.
After cutting it, I put it directly into my storage space, planning to take it out to dry tomorrow when the sun comes out.
I was just about to cook for myself when I heard the villagers outside calling their children home for dinner. It felt like every mealtime was a battle.
Yunxi thought the glass noodles she had for lunch were quite delicious, so she cooked some for herself again in the evening.
Yunxi hasn't gotten tired of it yet; she thinks the rice noodles are quite delicious. She'll try something else when she gets tired of them.
After the vermicelli was cooked, the pot wasn't left idle. A pot of well water was poured in, and once it boiled, the wild vegetables were blanched.
After Yunxi finished eating the vermicelli and her stomach was full, and the water was boiling, she took out the wild vegetables from her space, one by one.
There are several kinds of wild vegetables, and each one is prepared in a different way. Some are delicious when dried, some are delicious when pickled, and some are best eaten fresh in a cold salad.
Yunxi now blanches the dried and pickled vegetables before cooking them. Both methods require blanching, but one method doesn't require drying after blanching, while the other does.
As for those fresh, delicious cold-dressed wild vegetables, Yunxi didn't take them out, since they wouldn't spoil in the space anyway.
Just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited. In the dead of winter, while everyone else is munching on green vegetables and radishes, I'll have fresh wild vegetables and all sorts of fresh produce to eat.
Yunxi quickly shook her head, realizing she couldn't gloat like that; she was a good monster, after all.
I worked for three whole hours, but it was already dark outside, almost 9 p.m.
There are so many wild vegetables in the space, we haven't even finished harvesting half of them yet, there are just too many.
If it weren't for the need to water the plants in her private plot, Yunxi probably wouldn't have stopped.
Put away the last pot of wild vegetables in the pot, planning to continue working after watering the private plot.
At this moment, all was quiet outside. Apart from the occasional barking of dogs, there was no other sound. Most of the villagers were asleep.
Yunxi locked the door and went straight to her private plot without even a flashlight. For her, there was no difference between night and day.
When I arrived at my private plot, I saw that a few small grasses had sprouted there, but they were so tiny that I didn't bother with them.
I plan to wait until they grow a bit taller before I get rid of them.
He directly controlled the river water in the space, and a light rain fell on the entire plot of land. It drizzled and soaked the land thoroughly before stopping.
Yunxi felt that her control was becoming more and more precise, and she didn't waste any water in the ditches at all, using it all on the field ridges.
After watering the vegetables, I hurried home. Once home, I went to the backyard and watered the vegetables there again before returning to the kitchen in the front yard.
The water in the pot remained boiling, and the fire on the stove never went out. They took out the wild vegetables from their spatial storage and continued to blanch them.
While waiting, I picked up a book to read, which helped pass the time.
If it weren't for the fact that the wild vegetables were blanched in boiling water, which would have been quick, Yunxi would have been thinking of taking out some fabric to make clothes for herself.
Unfortunately, it's too fast. If we take out the fabric, we haven't even set out the sewing tools before we have to start the next batch. There's just no time for that.
Yunxi's eagerness stemmed from the rolls of fabric in her space.
Especially those two rolls of really beautiful colors, just looking at them is so tempting, let alone turning them into pretty clothes.
I was busy until almost midnight, and I finished blanching all the vegetables that needed to be blanched. Now I can say that I have one less thing to do.
However, Yunxi felt that her work was never-ending. She had finished preparing the wild vegetables, but she hadn't yet prepared the kudzu roots. There were so many kudzu roots in her space, and there were still many undigging ones on the mountain.
I quietly calculated that I still had about 20 days before I had to go back to school. I wasn't worried at all about not being able to finish all my work.
