Chapter 31 Otherwise
, you’ll have to make do with it. Although a truly good cook can make delicious food without relying on condiments, no good cook can really make delicious food without any condiments!
"Here, here are the wild mushrooms you want." The captain also came in carrying three urea bags.
The three bags were all bulging and filled with fresh wild mushrooms. Each one was very fat and looked very cute.
Xu Wanning tried to put the weight on her hands and convert it into equivalent supplies for the brigade headquarters, but she did not lift the bag.
"It's quite heavy." She chuckled to ease her embarrassment.
"No, this bag weighs at least thirty or forty kilograms. Wild mushrooms are heavy to weigh, and besides, they were picked early this morning, and they still have some moisture."
"Otherwise, I'll use two hens. Let's exchange it. I'll save one for the leaders to eat the day after tomorrow, and I'll stew the other one with these wild mushrooms for everyone to taste, so that you can feel at ease."
These village cadres have been in a daze these days. I didn't get a good night's sleep, and the dark circles and bags under my eyes were almost drooping to the ground.
"Xu Zhiqing, this wild mushroom is worthless, how can I exchange it for chickens? This is inappropriate."
"It's appropriate!" Xu Wanning smiled and said: "Captain, village chief, in this exchange I can get the things with peace of mind."
Several people looked at each other, and finally the oldest village chief made the decision by clapping the table.
"That's it! Let's just say it. It's getting late today. Tomorrow, Xu Zhiqing will bring chicken to make soup."
After Xu Wanning left, Accountant Xu disapproved and said, "Village Chief, are we taking advantage of Xu Zhiqing?" "How can this be considered taking advantage
? After getting along with each other for the past few days, you must have understood Xu Zhiqing's temperament. She doesn't suffer, but she won't take advantage. To us, the wild mushroom is just a flower. It’s worthless things that can be picked with just a few hours of work, but people in the city don’t care about them. “
Otherwise, she could spend more than 20 yuan to buy dry goods?
"But these really can't be exchanged for two hens. In this case, you can inform Dahu and the others later, and go to the mountain to pick some tomorrow morning, and give them the full centimeter as usual."
Xu Wanning was walking on the way home, but she felt sad in her heart . I was thinking about whether I could exchange some dried wild mushrooms with the villagers.
She does have stocked goods in her space and can replenish them infinitely, but the quality is far from this good.
When the policy is relaxed next year and she can take the college entrance examination, she will definitely run to the city, most likely to Beijing, and Beijing is far from Dajiang Village. She has to change several trains and will be delayed for several days just on the road. It’s not easy to buy again.
Anyway, she has space, so it wouldn't be a problem to store more.
With things in her mind, Xu Wanning didn't pay attention to the situation on the roadside until someone blocked her way.
"Li Qianqian, why are you still haunting me?" You can see her everywhere.
Li Qianqian pretended not to see the disgust in Xu Wanning's eyes, and showed a smile that she thought was gentle and kind: "Wanning, we had some unpleasantness this morning. After I went back, I thought about it and felt that I was wrong, so I went to find you. I want to apologize to you."
Xu Wanning stared at her for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand in front of her: "Bring it here."
"What?" Li Qianqian was stunned.
"Isn't it an apology? Does it mean you're apologizing just by touching your upper and lower lips? What's the difference between an apology without actual actions and a dog barking?"
"Xu Wanning, you..."
Xu Wanning showed a genuine expression: "I knew you were close. I'm definitely not being kind, and I'm still trying to apologize. Damn! We've known each other for so many years. How can I not understand who you are? "Get out of my way!"
Lin An has to leave early tomorrow morning. As the sky wasn't completely dark, I hurried back to bake some cakes for him to eat on the way.
Li Qianqian took several deep breaths before she managed to suppress the manic-depressive mood in her heart.
She twitched the corner of her mouth and showed an expression that was uglier than crying: "Wan Ning, how can we break off our relationship for so many years? How about we find a place to sit down and chat calmly. By the way, I'll Tell you about your savior. I promise, I will never take Qiao again this time."
Xu Wanning did not refuse directly, but stared at Li Qianqian for a while.
There is a problem, absolutely there is a problem.
Li Qianqian's gesture made it clear that she wanted to coax her to go somewhere, and she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
If I guess correctly, Gu Jun is taking the lead this time, right?
I don’t know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd.
Xu Wanning didn't want to pay attention to these two people, but they kept wandering in front of her, like cockroaches that couldn't be killed, harmless but annoying.
"Okay then, let's find a place to have a good chat."
Behind a half-collapsed courtyard wall, Gu Jun poked half of his head out and saw Xu Wanning and Li Qianqian going to the place they had agreed on in advance, facing each other. The person behind him made a gesture.
"We have arrived now. Whether we can succeed or not depends on the big brothers."
On the other side, Li Qianqian kept walking forward with Xu Wanning. Judging from the traces, she should be going to the back mountain.
Xu Wanning pretended not to see through Li Qianqian's trajectory and followed behind with a normal expression.
Along the way, Li Qianqian was worried that Xu Wanning would suddenly notice something strange, so she kept looking for something to chat with her. The chat made Xu Wanning a little tired, and she couldn't help scolding: "Can you shut up and let my ears rest?" "In a while?"
The two happened to pass by an uninhabited house, and Li Qianqian sighed: "Wan Ning, you are not strong enough. I'm afraid your feet will hurt if you continue walking. Let's talk here."
This family's son is rich. When I arrived, I took my parents, wife and children to the city. No one had lived in this courtyard for several years. Not to mention the wooden courtyard door was a bit rotten, and the ground was covered with a layer of dry leaves. It creaked on top, which was particularly harsh.
Li Qianqian just heard about such a courtyard, so she made an appointment with Gu Jun. She had never been here before, so she didn't expect so many fallen leaves on the ground.
When people come later and step on these dead leaves, won't the sound they make remind Xu Wanning again?
Li Qianqian didn't dare to take risks, so she simply kicked out a small path with her feet.
"These fallen leaves are full of dust. I'm afraid they will stain your shoes."
"Then I thank you?"
"No need to thank you. Let's go in and sit down."
Xu Wanning folded her hands on her chest and stood calmly, looking at Li Qianqian as if she were a fool.
"Do you think the yard is already so dirty, how can it be clean inside?"
"Yes, I forgot that Wan Ning is a bit of a germophobe. But we've all been here, wouldn't it be too disappointing to go back now? Otherwise, you Just make do? "
