The ice had melted, but the bag was still incredibly heavy.
Song Liyun quickly opened the bag and was so overwhelmed by the stench that she almost fell over.
The bag was full of pig intestines, and although it had been cleaned, the smell was still awful.
More importantly, that huge block of ice was actually made entirely of large intestines, weighing at least forty or fifty pounds.
I don't know how those soldiers managed to press the pig intestines so tightly.
Song Liyun thought there would be at most two baskets of pig intestines, but she was immediately overwhelmed; the cleaning project was simply too big.
There's no other way; we've already brought everything and thawed it, so it'll really go bad if we don't eat it.
While complaining, Song Liyun picked up the bag and rushed back to the kitchen. She took out a lot of salt, oil, and flour and began to wash the pig intestines over and over again.
Fortunately, she had bought enough things in Qili County this time, and the soldiers had already washed them once, so she only needed to carefully wash them again.
Song Liyun was busy in the kitchen, and Wang Qi and the others arrived at Baolin Residence early.
A group of people seemed to be avoiding something, pushing and shoving each other while waiting outside the door, refusing to step up the stairs.
When they saw Song Zhenping and Han Ming, and learned that they were going to the river to break the ice, they grabbed the ice-breaking tools and ran away in a flash.
They had no choice but to run.
If Song Liyun were to see this now, she would definitely turn hostile.
We agreed on ten people yesterday, but twenty showed up. I have no idea how they managed to get time off.
Song Liyun had been busy in the kitchen since morning. It wasn't until the pork intestines and potatoes were slowly simmering in the pot that she noticed how quiet Baolin Residence had been all morning.
There was no sign of Hei Jin, only Xiao An helping to tend the fire in the kitchen, his eyes half-closed, looking exhausted.
"Xiao An, what's wrong?"
Song Liyun was startled and quickly touched his forehead to check if he was sick.
No fever!
Xiao An couldn't describe what was wrong with her, she just leaned listlessly against Song Liyun and said, "Sister!"
Seeing him like this, Song Liyun became even more anxious. She quickly picked him up and walked towards the side courtyard, intending to put him on the kang (a heated brick bed) and then go to the garrison to find a doctor.
As soon as they reached the room where the two brothers lived, Xiao An grabbed her arm and struggled fiercely, saying, "I won't go, I won't go!"
"Xiao An, listen to me, lie down for a while, I'll go find a doctor to see you." Song Liyun comforted her softly, raising her hand to lift the curtain and prepare to go into the room.
Xiao An rolled over and landed on the ground, then ran outside with her head down.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with you, child..." Before she could finish speaking, Song Liyun felt a stench rush out of the house, a smell even stronger than the pig intestines she had been washing all morning.
She thought that after being exposed to the fumes all morning, her already numb sense of smell had been amplified tens of thousands of times.
Two air guns, as solid as real objects, shot straight from her nostrils to the top of her head, instantly causing her eyes to roll back and almost making her faint.
"Ugh!" Song Liyun staggered backward, staring blankly at the room where the two brothers lived.
Her first thought was: Who planted biological weapons inside?
"Song Zhenping! Black Gold!"
Song Liyun then realized that the two guys were hiding somewhere.
After thinking for a moment, Song Liyun went straight to the backyard. Sure enough, Song Zhenping was there, still slowly pollinating the flowers. He looked just like Xiao An, like an eggplant that had been hit by frost.
"What's going on in your room?" Song Liyun asked angrily.
"Hehe, no, nothing!" Song Zhenping said awkwardly. Just as he finished speaking, a "thump" was heard.
Song Liyun was stunned for a few seconds, then flew into a rage: "Was it you who farted in that room and knocked Xiao An unconscious?"
"And...and black gold!" Song Zhenping became even more embarrassed.
"Oh my god, I told you guys, the doors and windows are all closed too tightly now, so don't eat roasted potatoes." Song Liyun felt both annoyed and amused.
"I didn't eat the roasted potatoes, I only ate the beans that Hei Jin cooked!" Song Zhenping quickly explained. Last night, he saw Hei Jin eating with relish, so he also ate some beans, but he didn't expect to eat too many.
"black gold!"
Song Liyun felt like she was going crazy with anger, so she turned around and went to find the big monkey.
The room smelled so bad, Black Gold definitely wasn't there, so she went straight to Black Gold's old hideout.
Up in the wooden attic, Black Gold was curled up in its nest, fast asleep. It hadn't slept well last night because it had been farting one fart after another.
In its sleep, Song Liyun's fatty intestines were already cooked, and the stench in the room turned into a fragrance. It couldn't help but smack its lips and take a big bite.
Suddenly, Song Liyun's roar came from afar: "Black Gold, you dead monkey, do you want to get beaten up again?"
So noisy!
Hei Jin grabbed a piece of clothing haphazardly and draped it over his head before turning over and continuing to sleep.
"You damn monkey!"
This time it's crystal clear.
Black Gold was so frightened that it jumped out of its sleep and hung on the roof, squeaking loudly.
In the attic, Song Liyun stood with her hands on her hips, pointing angrily at Hei Jin and roaring, "You troublemaker, why aren't you opening the doors and windows? You're actually hiding here sleeping!"
These idiots are infuriating!
At this moment, Song Liyun began to wonder if the stupidity of Hei Jin was contagious.
The person almost fainted from the stench and got poisoned; they didn't even know to ventilate the room.
Black Gold didn't bother with the stairs anymore; instead, he jumped down from the attic through the door and ran into the house on all fours.
At noon, the braised pork intestines were ready, and their unique aroma filled the entire house.
Song Liyun was in a good mood to cook again.
They could only put two large pots of braised potatoes and pork intestines into a large wooden barrel. When Wang Qi and the others returned with the ice, they were told that there were no extra pots at home to cook, and that they needed to take the food back to the garrison to eat.
Wang Qi was feeling awkward about how to explain the sudden increase in the number of people to Song Liyun while they were eating. Hearing that he could take the food with him, he was overjoyed.
Bringing two large buckets of fragrant braised potatoes and pork intestines back to the garrison will surely make a bunch of people extremely envious.
The other soldiers were overjoyed and, without needing Song Liyun to explain further, carried the two large buckets of vegetables and ran off.
Wang Qi stayed behind last, and when no one was paying attention, he quickly stuffed a purse into Song Liyun's hand. Seeing Song Liyun's astonished expression, he immediately smiled and winked at her before turning around and running after his comrades.
This kid... is he really going to do it?
Song Liyun may appear to be seventeen, but she's not some clueless little girl inside.
She wasn't in the mood to play kissing games with the kids.
Song Liyun gave a wry smile. Seeing that Wang Qi had already run far away, she could only shake her head helplessly and put the purse into her bosom.
After everyone had left, Song Liyun opened her purse, which contained a large handful of copper coins. She counted them and found a total of 150 coins.
It turned out that the bag contained money, which was compensation from Wang Qi and his group.
This silly kid, just give me the money, it's not like I don't want it. Why make it all so mysterious and cause misunderstandings?
Song Liyun was both annoyed and amused.
Wang Qi is clumsy in her speech and actions, causing me to misunderstand twice, making me look like a lovesick, marriage-obsessed woman.
I'll definitely teach him a lesson when I have time later.
With so much pork intestine, she not only used salt, oil, and seasonings, but also added over ten kilograms of potatoes.
Song Liyun was exhausted after a long morning, but her previously depressed mood suddenly lifted.
Although the amount of money was not much, it at least proved that these soldiers did not treat themselves as easy targets.
