After the summer harvest, the village also distributed grain. Tong Yiya and Zhang Lao were given about 300 kilograms of wheat. They had to borrow stone mills from the brigade to grind as much wheat flour as they could.

After Fu Shinian and his friends came back, they went to buy another 300 kilograms. Together with the grain they brought from the town this time, it was enough for the family to eat for several months.

This time they also brought back a piece of meat, saying it was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from their unit, two kilograms of pork, two kilograms of oil and a day's holiday for each person.

Combined with the rest of their vacation this month, they can stay at home for three days this time.

With two people at home, Tong Yiya thought about doing a thorough cleaning of the house, and then picking out the seasonal clothes to see if any of them were moldy. If so, they would have to be picked out, washed again, hung out to dry, and then put away.

It's hot outside now and the village has just finished the summer harvest. There is not much farm work to do, except fetching water to irrigate the fields.

Tong Yiya didn't let them go. Anyway, her share of the head had already been earned. If it wasn't enough, she could just pay the money directly.

He took the two of them to clean the house inside and out, and cleared the weeds in the yard. He then got some medicine powder from Mr. Zhang and sprinkled it around the wall.

The whole day was spent cleaning the house, and the next day Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing went up the mountain to hunt.

They were ostensibly going to collect firewood, but in fact, the wild game they had bought last time sold very well, and they thought they were doing nothing at home anyway, so they might as well go out and see if they could catch more prey to sell.

Tong Yiya didn't care about the two of them. She just reminded them to be careful and let them go.

She left her child at home and went out to pick herbs with her medicine basket on her back. Summer was coming and many people in the village were prone to heatstroke, so she had to prepare more medicines. She also had to make medicinal tea for the autumn harvest, so all of these needed to be prepared in advance.

During this period, she started to go to the mountains to dig herbs every day. This annoyed Yuanyuan who had no mother to play with. She had to be comforted every day when she came back.

She left home early that day, and when she arrived at the mountains, it was just after nine o'clock.

Fu Shinian was originally planning to ask her to join them, but she had already explored most of the mountains over there, and there weren't as many medicinal herbs as here, so she decided to go on her own.

After going up the mountain, whenever she saw pheasants or rabbits, she would collect them all into her space and take them out when she got down the mountain.

She would also pick some tender wild vegetables, so by the time she got to the mountain, her basket was already half full.

In order to make the basket lighter and more convenient for movement, she would store the herbs and wild vegetables in the basket into the space after going up to the uninhabited mountains.

After spending the whole day in the mountains, she had a rich harvest. When she went down the mountain, she took out all the things in the space, sorted them out, and put the pheasants and rabbits at the bottom of the basket. She used branches to support the herbs on top, leaving space for the rabbits and pheasants to breathe.

She put herbs on top and arranged the wild vegetables into bundles. She cut strong vines and made a simple basket to put the wild vegetables in.

After finishing everything, he carried the basket on his back and went down the mountain. After walking for about thirty minutes, he finally got out of the forest.

After walking a short distance on a deserted path, she returned to the village. On the way, she met a few villagers who were leaving work. They greeted her and said, "Tong Zhiqing, are you going to the mountains to dig for herbs?"

"Yes, auntie, you just got off work, are you going home to cook?" Tong Yiya asked

"Yes, the men in the family are still working in the fields, so we go back early to prepare dinner, otherwise it will be dark soon and we will have to light the lamp to eat," one of the aunts replied.

"Indeed, then I won't delay your return home. I have to go back too, and I'll prepare these herbs and dry them in the sun as soon as possible," said Tong Yiya.

"Okay, I'll see you later, Tong Zhiqing."

"See you later"

After they finished talking, they separated and went back to their homes. Tong Yiya also walked quickly towards the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

When she got to the door and saw that it was open, she went straight into the yard and saw Master Zhang and Yuanyuan playing under the eaves. Tong Yiya put down the backpack and asked, "Master, Shi Nian and the others haven't come back yet?"

"No, I saw that you three hadn't come back yet so late, so I thought you were together," said Mr. Zhang

"No, I went to the mountain they were going to a few days ago to dig herbs. I couldn't find any good herbs there, so I went to another mountain to dig," said Tong Yiya.

"These two people didn't come back early, and I don't know if something happened." Tong Yiya was a little worried when she saw that they hadn't come back yet.

After all, the two of them were going hunting, and they were afraid that they wouldn't find prey outside and would go deep into the mountains.

Tong Yiya was worried about their safety, but she still had to be patient and pour out the herbs she had dug up and process them.

Old Zhang also put Yuanyuan in the small chair and let her play by herself. He sat over and helped her process the herbs.

First, sort out all the debris inside, then wash them, and finally put them in a dustpan to dry.

Now that the sun has set, the moisture on the surface can be dried up a little.

The two men packed up the herbs. It was getting dark outside when Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing came back. They also brought back a small wild boar weighing about 200 pounds.

After they sent the wild boar back home, they went out again and brought back some small prey and two sheep. These prey were all dead, so they had to be processed and pickled tonight, otherwise they would go bad when the sun came out tomorrow and the temperature rose.

So after they came back, they closed the courtyard door and processed the prey in the yard. Old Zhang was afraid that the bloody scene would scare Yuanyuan, so he carried him back to the pharmacy and processed the medicinal roots that needed to be prepared. After dinner, he took the medicine to the kitchen to steam it.

Tong Yiya felt relieved when she saw them return safely. Seeing that they were busy processing the prey, she went to cook dinner.

After a while, Fu Shinian came into the kitchen with pig hearts and livers, and said to Tong Yiya, "Xiaoya, these pig organs won't last long, let's get them and eat them tonight."

Tong Yiya looked at the pig heart and liver, thought about how to eat it, took it, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll make it into a cold dish."

"It's all right. You're a good cook. It'll taste good no matter how you cook it," Fu Shinian said with a smile.

"Okay, go back to your work and finish it quickly. I'll prepare the marinade and you can marinate it right away. Put it in the bucket overnight and you can hang it up tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work in the kitchen," said Fu Shinian

After he left the kitchen, Tong Yiya boiled a pot of water, cleaned the pig liver and heart, cut them into small pieces and put them in the pot, added some star anise and ginger and scallions, and cooked the pig heart and liver.

Wait until it is cooked through, then cut the liver into small pieces and place them on a plate. Pour some chili and garlic sauce on it and you will have a dish of cold pork liver.

Wait for the pig heart to cool down a bit, then tear it into thin strips with your hands. Add seasoning, coriander and scallions, and mix well.
