"I want this tea can. What do you want to exchange it for?"
When Qian Xiaolan heard this, she immediately blurted out: "One hundred kilograms of rice, one hundred kilograms of flour, and some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar."
After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment.
Then she realized that this was probably because she had bound herself to the system, which would automatically estimate the price of the items.
Wenxuan was very satisfied with the price, which was exactly the same as the market price in his world.
The trading mall is so convenient.
Wenxuan had flour, rice and seasonings, but they were in the warehouse. He said something to Qian Xiaolan and quickly left the space and ran to the warehouse to get the goods.
Qian Xiaolan knew that when the transaction was opened, the flow rate in space would be still, so she did not go out and waited inside.
After waiting for a while, two bags of rice, two bags of flour and a pile of seasonings suddenly appeared in front of Qian Xiaolan.
Then, Wenxuan's figure also appeared in the space: "Miss Qian, everything is here.
I see that you are dressed like someone who lived in the era of material scarcity decades ago. If you need anything, you can come to me. My family runs a grain and oil store, and I run a grocery store on Pinxixi."
Qian Xiaolan nodded, packed up her things and left the space.
With these food and seasonings, she won't have to worry about having nothing to eat for the next six months or even longer.
In the evening, Qian Xiaolan prepared the rabbit and braised it in a large pot.
She hadn't finished her lunch's sweet potato porridge yet, so she didn't make any staple food.
Originally, he wanted to send most of the braised rabbit meat directly to the mule shed, but then he remembered that Mr. Rong was sick.
After thinking about it, she picked out a few pieces of rabbit with more meat, tore them into shredded rabbit meat, and then used the shredded rabbit meat to cook dumpling soup.
After the dumpling soup was cooked, she served it out and set it aside to cool while she ate first.
Pure wild rabbit is particularly fragrant after being braised. The fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth after one bite, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
The original owner knew how to set traps herself, so she could eat meat several times a month, so she had nothing to worry about and kept eating until she was full.
After eating and drinking, it was already dark. Qian Xiaolan brought a bowl of dumpling soup and another portion of rabbit meat to the mule shed.
In the original owner's memory, Rong Qian's family saved her three times.
Once, when Rong Qian and her classmates were sent down to the countryside, she picked up a small bundle of firewood when she came home from school. Her mother beat her half to death and didn’t even give her any food.
She was so hungry that she ran out of her house in the middle of the night to find food and fainted on the roadside. Qian Rongsheng carried her back to the mule shed. Rongqian fed her some porridge and gave her medicine.
The second time was when his father came back from work and had a fight with her mother for some unknown reason. Her father was so angry that he went up the mountain. She was afraid that her mother would beat her again while her father was away, so she followed her up the mountain as well. As a result, she rolled down a hillside and sprained her ankle.
That time, Rong Qian picked some herbs for her feet, and it was also that time that her father told her that she must make friends with Rong Qian's family no matter what.
The original owner knew that her father was not the kind of person who put profit above all else, and she didn’t quite understand her father’s intentions, but she was very obedient and didn’t ask any further questions.
The third time was the year before last. When she had dug a trap on the mountain and was about to go down, she encountered a wild boar and was so scared that she was dragged away by Qian Rongsheng who had arrived at some point.
After several favors, the original owner was always grateful to the Qian family. Whenever he caught some prey in the mountains, he would secretly sell it and exchange it for food and send some to them. Occasionally, he would also roast the meat and give some to them.
When she got outside the mule shed, she could hear the sound of conversation and the dim light of kerosene lamps pouring through the dilapidated walls.
Qian Xiaolan reached out and knocked on the wooden door five times, and the door opened from the inside.
Qian Rongsheng stepped aside and asked her with joy and surprise: "Sister Xiaolan, it's so late, why are you here?"
Qian Xiaolan entered the room, put the things on the table, and then said, "You probably haven't eaten yet, right?
I picked up a wild rabbit in the mountains today. After braising it, I made a bowl of shredded pork and dumpling soup so that Grandpa Rong could eat it when he was sick.
In addition, I have good news for you all. From today on, I will move back to my own home."
Qian Qijin and Qian Rongsheng were overjoyed: "Well, this is really good news. Your uncle and aunt don't treat you as a human being. You should have moved out a long time ago."
Rong Changhua and Rong Qian were a little worried: "Moving out is a good thing, but your home is at the foot of the mountain. Not to mention the wild animals on the mountain, it's also very dangerous for you to live there as a girl."
Qian Qijin frowned: "That's true, how about letting you..."
He glanced at his daughter-in-law, thought of their current status, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Qian Xiaolan knew their worries. She clenched her fists, raised her arms, and said with a smile:
"Look at my arm strength, who in this village can beat me?
Of course, Grandpa Qian and Brother Rongsheng are excluded."
Upon hearing this, Qian Qijin burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, you were taught by the old man, so you can deal with those scoundrels in the village."
That’s right, the original owner’s kung fu was actually secretly taught by Old Man Qian after her parents passed away.
Qian Changfu had taught a little before, but it was just a set of military boxing.
Everyone was finally relieved after hearing this.
Qian Xiaolan walked to the stove and chased away the couple who were cooking.
"Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Xu, stop working and take your bowls over to eat. I'll light the fire."
Xu Wanting patted the dust off her body and stood up, smiling and saying:
"Okay, we won't say thank you. If Xiaolan is interested in biology or archaeology, come find us."
Qian Xiaolan nodded with bright eyes: "Yeah."
Forget about biology, she isn't very interested in it, but she has always been very curious about archaeology.
The pot contained the thinnest sweet potato porridge. Qian Xiaolan turned off the fire and left the lid of the pot to dry. After they finished the dumpling soup, she served each of them a bowl.
"I made the dumpling soup too dry today. You guys should have another bowl of soup."
In this weather, the food would go bad if left out until the next day, so everyone took it and drank it without hesitation.
After this meal, both families ate their fill.
Sheng Changqing also said with a smile: "After this meal, I can last for three days without feeling hungry."
Everyone laughed, but their smiles were all very sad.
Life in the past few years was so hard that they thought they had returned to the period before liberation.
Especially the father and daughter of the Rong family. Their family conditions have always been very good. Before the W (Cultural) G (Revolution), how could they have ever suffered such hardship?
They have been looked down upon and suffered a lot in the past few years, but fortunately, news has come that their suffering will soon be over and their happiness will be rewarded.
Qian Xiaolan couldn't stand this sad atmosphere, so after seeing Rong Qian's injuries, she offered to leave.
I had just returned home and made my bed when I heard Hu Guifen's voice outside the yard.
Qian Xiaolan opened the door holding a kerosene lamp and saw three people smiling outside.
