There was nothing else to do in the afternoon, and Qiao Mo thought that there were still a lot of sweet potatoes that had not been processed. He wanted to take advantage of the good weather to process some of them, so he carried a few baskets of sweet potatoes down from the upstairs, washed them by the river, and prepared to make sweet potato chips.
"Momo, let me help you." Tang Xinmei saw Qiao Mo washing sweet potatoes one by one with a brush, so she also picked up a brush to help.
"Thank you." Qiao Mo was not polite to her.
"It's my duty." Tang Xinmei smiled at her. She had processed her sweet potatoes long ago, and she also knew that their sweet potatoes were in bad condition. The reason they hadn't finished processing them was not because they were lazy, but because the repair of the reservoir had delayed them. When they finally had time, the sun hadn't come out yet.
After the two washed the sweet potatoes, they sliced them and put them into a basket, waiting to be steamed and dried the next morning. Then they went into the kitchen.
Qiao Mo blanched the shanks and pig's trotters for the braised beef in soy sauce, washed them with clean water, and put them into the pot separately, adding clean water and seasonings to cook.
In order to save time, she started two pots at the same time, one for making braised beef and the other for making spicy pig's trotters. She asked Tang Xinmei to watch the fire while she cut the tenderloin and beef brisket into thick blocks about two centimeters to make the five-spice beef.
"Momo, what are you doing? It smells so good." Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo came back.
"We'll know what you've harvested."
"Not very good, except for pheasants and rabbits, there are no big ones." Han said with a hint of hope. He originally wanted to get a wild sheep to make hot pot, but they looked for a long time but didn't see any.
"It's enough to have pheasants and rabbits to eat." Qiao Mo smiled and said, "You guys go ahead and process the prey first. I'll personally cook something to reward you later."
"Momo, did you buy beef today?" Han Yimo smelled the aroma of beef.
"Well, I was lucky one day. I saw a cow from a brigade broke its leg, so I bought some beef." Qiao Mo didn't expect his nose to be so sharp.
"Momo, what are you doing?" Han Yimo asked, pointing at another pot.
"Spicy pig's trotters. I bought two today. Didn't you say you haven't eaten meat for a long time? I'll eat as much as I want today." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"Wow, I'm so happy." Han Yimo made a take-off gesture.
"Stop playing tricks and deal with the pheasants and rabbits." Kang Mingyuan looked at them with a smile.
That night, their dinner was particularly sumptuous. Not only did they have spicy pork trotters and braised beef in soy sauce, but Qiao Mo also fried a plate of spicy and sour chicken offal.
Several people ate so much that their mouths were full of oil and their stomachs were round, so they had to take a walk by the river to digest the food.
That night, Qiao Mo did not enter the space at midnight as usual, but lay on the bed to rest. When the hour hand on the watch pointed to 0, she turned over and got up, and scanned the educated youth point and the surroundings with her spiritual sense. When she found that everyone was fast asleep, she quietly opened the door and went out, disappearing into the night.
The educated youth point was not far from the fork in the road. With Qiao Mo's walking speed, it took him more than ten minutes to get there. He released his spiritual sense again and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one within four meters, he slipped into the space.
