After putting the letter away, she found another bag and put the letter and the dried meat she had prepared for Xiang Yu together.
Seeing that the amount wasn't very substantial, she wondered if she should find a nice day to go to the village and exchange it for some dried goods, which she could then send back to Kyoto.
Thinking this, she went to inspect her space again. Most of the fruit she had planted was not ripe yet, and the pets she had raised, except for the rabbits, were basically not grown up. And the vegetables could not be transported long distances...
After going through that process once, she suddenly had an inspiration.
You can make dried rabbit! And dried vegetables too!
As soon as the idea came to her, she immediately took action. However, she ultimately couldn't bear to kill the few large rabbits in the space and decided to keep them to breed a few more times until the population was no longer a problem.
The rabbits that Sheng Yi had brought over were originally intended to be stored in her spatial storage, but today she had no choice but to take out two of them and turn them into dried rabbits.
The air-dried rabbit is still made using the same machine, but the time is different, and the rabbit doesn't need to be cut; just lay the whole rabbit flat inside.
After making the rabbit, she immediately made a large batch of dried vegetables, including eggplant, green beans, and radishes... basically anything she could grow in her space.
After all that, the bundle was packed full, but she still planned to exchange it for some dried fruit later, not only to send back to Xiang Yu, but also to prepare some for the cowshed.
Chestnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and the like are not only great for passing the time in winter, but they also play a significant role in replenishing energy. Moreover, these dried foods are easy to store.
For the cowshed, "easy to store" is a huge advantage; they can hide it anywhere.
Zhu Qinghao had wanted to make dried meat for this reason before. She wanted to make more dried meat during the winter and take it to them to store so that they would have meat to eat when spring planting started, no matter how busy they were.
Once the weather warms up, fresh meat is not easy to store, and with her busy schedule every day, she has no reason to be able to take out fresh meat frequently.
She trusted her family and they wouldn't harm her, but she really didn't want them to live in fear. Turning her into jerky would make everything much easier.
Just as she was thinking about whether to make more dried vegetables, the familiar knocking sounded at the door again.
After hearing that voice so many times, she now knows it's Sheng Yi coming from outside the door.
So she put aside her thoughts and went out to greet them with a touch of excitement.
"Brother Shengyi, you're up the mountain again? Is everything going smoothly?"
Sheng Yi looked at the little girl who was skipping and jumping to greet him, and the warmth in his eyes couldn't be stronger.
"Yes, I'm going up the mountain. I'll be leaving in a few days. Before I go, prepare some extra meat for Grandpa. The temperature is perfect for storing meat right now, so even if there's too much, it won't spoil."
Zhu Qinghao didn't hear the whole thing, only the gist of it. She thought his idea made some sense, so she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, but you have to be careful. It's freezing cold outside, and it's very slippery. Plus, you always go out alone, so everyone is quite worried."
Zhu Qinghao spoke lightly, but Sheng Yi could hear the deep concern and worry in her voice.
In his memory, he had never felt this way from anyone other than Old Master Sheng.
Grandpa Sheng wasn't someone who easily showed his emotions, especially after he grew up; he hadn't experienced this kind of care in a long time.
Thinking of these things, Sheng Yi's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his eyelashes, still covered in snowflakes, trembled slightly, and his originally cold and stern brows were instantly conquered by tenderness. It took him a long time to find his voice again.
"Okay, I'll be careful."
He clenched his hands, which were red from the cold, and tried hard to suppress the urge to touch the top of the person's head.
You can't touch it yet, lest you scare someone.
