"Eat first, and then we'll do it after you're done." Qiao Mo brought the food to the table and called everyone to eat.
"Here I come."
Kang Mingyuan and the others put down their work, washed their hands and ate.
Because there was still work to do, several people ate very quickly. After finishing their meal and putting down their bowls and chopsticks, Kang Mingyuan and the others continued to peel bamboo shoots.
Qiao Mo went to clean up the dishes and the kitchen. She washed the dishes, scrubbed the pots, boiled a pot of water, and then went to help peel the bamboo shoots.
Several people worked together and finally peeled, blanched and dried the bamboo shoots before going to work.
"Qiao Mo, you guys are really fast. You peeled all the bamboo shoots." Chen Ran was deeply moved when he saw the bamboo shoots and bracken drying in the field.
Compared to them, we are simply weaklings. We only harvested half of what they did yesterday, but we were so busy this morning that we almost didn't finish the work.
"There's no other way. We have to hurry up, otherwise we'll have to wait until noon." Qiao Mo thought that they were like fighting a war in the morning and didn't dare to stop for a moment: There's no other way, the bamboo shoots must be peeled and dried immediately, otherwise they will get old if left there.
"So drying vegetables is not an easy task." Chen Ran deeply agrees.
"Hey, why do you think Chu Maoshen and Liu Ruoling have to be eaten separately?" Tang Xinmei asked in a low voice. During this period, she found that the relationship between the two of them was very strange. Although they ate together, the things they brought from the mountains were kept separate.
"I don't know, maybe they calculate it separately." Qiao Mo shook his head.
Although the current plot has not collapsed, the world has undergone great changes. In the book, the man dotes on the woman, but in reality, there is no such wholehearted devotion as before. The feelings between them have been almost worn out by tedious housework and constant quarrels. People are left with only helplessness and disgust, and they may break up one day.
"How can we care about so many things when we are eating together?" Chen Ran shook his head. Chu Maoshen was too stingy. They ate together, and although they only contributed as much as they ate, the mountain products from the mountains, the fish and shrimps from the river, the eels and loaches caught from the fields were all put together.
"Maybe there is something he can't tell the truth about. Chu Maoshen still owes so much money. Otherwise, he could have taken care of Liu Ruoling's food, so why would he care about these mountain products?" Qiao Mo seemed to be thinking about something. She remembered that he said at the time that he would pay Kang Mingyuan and the others back after his family sent him the money. But he hasn't paid them back until now, so their family probably didn't send him any money.
Without the support of his family, he had to pay off his debts, make a living, and support Liu Ruoling. It was definitely not enough to rely on the dividends from the team. He had to find another way. Qiao Mo guessed that he might have set his sights on those mountain products.
She knew that these things were worthless here, but it was different in Donghai: the people there especially liked to eat bamboo shoots and mushrooms. After being dried, these things would not weigh much, were easy to preserve, and were more convenient to transport. If one had connections, they could send them to Donghai and immediately exchange them for money and tickets.
"You're right. These things can also be sent to the agricultural product purchasing station to exchange for money, but it's not very cost-effective." Tang Xinmei thought she understood what she meant.
"Chu Maoshen is really unlucky. He only has two hundred yuan. I don't know how many mushrooms and bamboo shoots he needs to pick to make up for it." Chen Ran also figured it out.
"That's why they say when people are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in their teeth." Qiao Mo deeply agrees.
