That place isn't far; it only takes about two hours round trip. Don't worry, I won't be back too late.
Hearing He Chaoyang say this, Chen Shuning stopped objecting. She thought it was better that they weren't home, as she could secretly use the oven in the space to roast meat jerky.
After the three finished eating, they started preparing to fry the dough twists. Even though Chen Jiandang resisted, he couldn't avoid the task of making the dough twists. After the meal, Chen Shuning, the commander-in-chief, started assigning tasks.
The task of twisting the dough sticks was assigned to Chen Jiandang, He Chaoyang was in charge of frying them, and Chen Shuning himself first put the marinated meat strips into the pot to steam.
After steaming the meat, Chen Shuning thought that the two of them would be going up the mountain later, so he also joined the group of people making twisted dough sticks.
Chen Shuning hadn't mixed much dough to begin with, and the three of them fried the twists in no time.
After that, Chen Shuning did not assign any other work to the two of them, but instead told them to go into the mountains as soon as possible so that they could return sooner.
Also, her meat strips are already steamed. She originally planned to grill them little by little over charcoal, but now it's much easier. It's much more convenient to secretly use the oven in her space to cook so much meat.
After seeing He Chaoyang and Chen Jiandang off, Chen Shuning locked the door and drew the curtains before entering the space. Chen Shuning had a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, and everyone was used to locking the door and drawing the curtains during the day, so no one found it strange.
After entering the space, Chen Shuning immediately got busy.
Chen Shuning secretly placed the pork strips and the prepared minced meat into the two ovens in the space, and after setting the temperature and time, she didn't stop working.
Using modern equipment such as meat grinders in the space, a lot of minced meat is ground, seasoned, packed into lunchboxes, and then steamed in a large pot.
Chen Shuning now has eight lunchboxes. In addition to the two she brought from Beijing, she bought two more herself, and there were four more that He Chaoyang bought when Qin Yalan first came. Looking at the pot full of lunchboxes in front of her, Chen Shuning felt like a wealthy landlord.
An hour later, after one batch of dried meat and two batches of meat jerky were produced in the space, Chen Shuning stopped making them. After all, hand-baking these things couldn't be done that quickly, and if too much was made, the deception would be exposed.
After putting away the remaining meat, Chen Shuning planned to continue cooking it in the space after everyone had fallen asleep that night.
The luncheon meat was ready, and Chen Shuning tried a small piece. It tasted pretty good. She had to admit that the electronic recipes she downloaded in her past life were quite reliable.
After putting everything she had finished into the cabinet, Chen Shuning leisurely drew back the curtains and opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she ran into Feng Baoguo, who was coming out of Zhong Lingling's room.
Before Chen Shuning could speak, Feng Baoguo said with a smile, "It's good that you're out now, Chen Qingqing. I was originally planning to come and inform you later."
Here's the thing: last night when we were slaughtering the pig, the female educated youth all came out to help, right? We all discussed it and decided to treat them to a good meal of meat. You can all come over tonight too.
By the way, where are Comrade He and Jian Dang? I saw their door was locked.
He Chaoyang didn't plan to hunt this time, and there weren't many persimmons on the tree, so he didn't call Feng Baoguo and the others.
There was nothing to hide, so Chen Shuning smiled and told him about the two of them going into the mountains to pick persimmons.
Feng Baoguo disagreed, refusing Chen Shuning's offer to contribute meat as well. He explained that He Chaoyang had already given him two rabbits the night before, which would count as their share of the meat, and then told Chen Shuning and the other two to come over for dinner.
Each of the male educated youth who went up the mountain this time received forty or fifty catties of meat, which was a huge piece of meat. They had never received so much meat in all the years they had been sent to the countryside.
Therefore, whether it was Feng Baoguo or the other male educated youth, they were all grateful to He Chaoyang.
Of course, the female educated youth were not so harmonious, such as Dong Weiwei, who always liked to take advantage of others.
He was sitting in Yang Wanqiu's room complaining, "If you ask me, Comrade He is too stingy. There were eight wild boars! He only gave three to the male educated youth."
But we helped out half the night last night, how could he have the nerve not to give us a single piece of meat?
"Look, I don't know who came up with this idea, but they just plan to treat us to a meal and call it a day. They don't even consider how much we women can eat in one meal. It really is true that the richer people are, the stingier they become."
Yang Wanqiu has been getting close to Dong Weiwei lately, and the two often get together to chat about this and that.
But most of the time Dong Weiwei did the talking, and Yang Wanqiu listened, sometimes just giving a few simple responses.
Just like now, although it was lively outside last night, she didn't go out to help, partly because she and Chen Shuning didn't get along.
In addition, she now realizes that no matter how hard she tries, He Chaoyang will never give her a second glance, so she has given up on He Chaoyang.
So after she found out that He Chaoyang had shot the wild boar, she didn't go out to help. Wouldn't it be better for her to stay in bed in this cold weather?
Why bother going out to do something that's strenuous and thankless?
However, none of this stopped her from talking badly about the two of them behind their backs. Yang Wanqiu moved the melon seeds by the kang (a heated brick bed) towards Dong Weiwei.
He said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you this a long time ago? Chen Shuning is that kind of person. We were childhood friends, but she changed her attitude after my family had that incident."
Okay, okay, don't be angry. It's not worth it for someone like that. Here, have some sunflower seeds. I just roasted some yesterday; they smell delicious.
"You cooked these last night, didn't you? I smelled the aroma of roasted sunflower seeds when I was taking the meat to the backyard last night, but I didn't expect it was you who cooked them."
