Chapter 18: Borrowing the stove again



After arriving at the educated youth site, Yi Xiaoqiu closed the door of the house and entered the farm. The farm was managed by a housekeeper. The amount of land had doubled, and many more varieties of vegetables had been added.

She picked some beans, eggplants, tomatoes and cucumbers and came out of the farm.

He took out some summer heat and fever-reducing medicine from the medicine box, put it in the backpack, put the vegetables in, and closed the lid of the backpack.

When Yi Xiaoqiu went out, Song Ying was packing the rabbit.

"The door is unlocked. Just wait a minute and walk in. I have something to run out for."

Song Ying nodded.

She walked very carefully along the way. At this time, the women were busy cooking at home and the men were bathing in the river.

There were no other people in other places except some children wandering around.

Yi Xiaoqiu carried a backpack and walked to the outside of the cowshed.

The area was quiet, and she walked quietly to the door. "Mr. Chen, are you there?"

Soon, a woman in her fifties came out of the cowshed.

"Girl, what do you want from my old Chen?"

Yi Xiaoqiu put down the backpack and said, "Someone asked me to bring this over. It contains some summer heat medicine. It's hot, so maybe you can use it."

"Is there really a medicine? My old Chen can be saved!" Mrs. Meng's eyes lit up.

"Can I go in and see Mr. Chen?"

Madam Meng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Come in!"

In the cowshed, Old Chen lay pale on the wooden bed, his eyes dull and his lips covered with a layer of dead skin.

Yi Xiaoqiu quickly took out Huoxiang Zhengqi Water from his backpack and said, "Give this to Mr. Chen!"

After Old Chen drank the medicine, his expression showed signs of improvement. Yi Xiaoqiu left the cowshed carrying an empty backpack.

She didn't get to eat the wild game the protagonists caught last time, so this time she has to hurry up and eat the meat.

Yi Xiaoqiu was walking very fast with the basket on her back. She didn't notice that there was a person in the grass not far away who saw her coming out of the cowshed.

At the educated youth site, in front of Yi Xiaoqiu's house, several educated youth, both men and women, gathered there, making a lot of noise.

Yi Xiaoqiu walked over and heard Song Ying's voice, "If you want this stove, wait until Yi Zhiqing comes."

What’s going on? Are you addicted to borrowing?

Yi Xiaoqiu said coldly outside the crowd: "If you don't want to borrow the stove, go ahead!"

She has a system and instinctively doesn't want to get too close to other people.

Lu Rongrong shouted excitedly, "Yi Zhiqing, Brother Gu caught a silly roe deer today. Let us use your stove and eat with us."

Yi Xiaoqiu raised her eyebrows, she was about to turn into a sourpuss again.

Besides... she hadn't finished her daily crop yet, so now was a good opportunity.

Yi Xiaoqiu frowned and said nothing.

She was waiting, waiting for Gu Chengfeng to speak.

If she wanted to find fault, she wouldn't look for Lu Rongrong, because she was just a supporting actress with too low attribute points.

Sure enough, Gu Chengfeng walked out of the crowd, carrying a freshly cut roe deer leg. "This roe deer will last for two days. I'll cook it all here."

What he meant was that if she cooked for the next two days, she would have meat to eat.

At this moment, she saw a small pool of blood behind him, right at her door. Yi Xiaoqiu immediately used this as an excuse, "You! You killed the roe deer next to my house?"

Gu Chengfeng nodded.

"You're going too far! You've made blood all over my body, and you couldn't just stay away? You've made my whole body smell fishy and stinky!"

In fact, the bloody intestines were thrown in a vegetable field not far away. It was not very close, but you could smell a little blood.

[Congratulations to the host, you have completed the daily mission and are rewarded with 20 attribute points.]

This time there was no lottery ticket as a reward like the first time he picked a fight with the protagonist, but there were 20 attribute points, and Yi Xiaoqiu was already satisfied.

With a punch like this, accumulating more than 900 attribute points in two months is not difficult, as long as she remembers to find fault every day.

Yi Xiaoqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that finding fault was not so easy.

She wanted to pick a fight with the protagonist. She had no grudge against him, and it was for no reason. Even though she was just a cannon fodder, she couldn't offend him too much.

Pick on the supporting characters who have done something dirty with her, but the attribute points rewarded are too low and she doesn't care.

Song Ying came out and said, "I'm sorry, Yi Zhiqing! I made the blood at the door, and Gu Zhiqing cleaned it up in the vegetable garden."

Yi Xiaoqiu instantly felt that his arrogance had dropped a lot.

She gritted her teeth and waved her hands, "Oh, that's fine, hurry up and cook!"

"I said Yi Zhiqing would agree! It won't be easy for those people!" Lu Rongrong looked at the kitchen over there with a proud and arrogant expression.

After about half an hour, the meat was stewed with fragrance.

Several old educated youth stretched their necks to look over here.

Eating only meat felt a bit greasy, and Yi Xiaoqiu didn't expect the group of newly arrived educated youth to provide vegetables.

She turned and went into the inner room, closed the door behind her, picked some tomatoes and cucumbers on the farm, and when she left the house, there were a few cucumbers and tomatoes in her backpack.

It's not that she is stingy. It's normal for her to borrow a few cucumbers and tomatoes when she goes out. It would be unreasonable to borrow more than that.

There was a vegetable garden at the educated youth camp, but unfortunately the original owner didn't take care of it. It was always Guo Caifeng and a few others who took care of it. It was obvious that she would not let Yi Xiaoqiu pick the vegetables.

"It's hot, let's mix these together and eat them!"

Shen Ruofei raised her hand and said, "I'll mix it. I'll mix it all with sugar."

Yi Xiaoqiu looked at her deeply.

In this day and age, who would be so extravagant as to mix cucumbers and tomatoes with sugar?

Several male educated youth looked at Shen Ruofei in unison.

Shen Ruofei quickly explained, "It's hot, and the sugar I brought is almost melting. I might as well just make it once a day."

It was a pity that she could come up with this excuse. Yi Xiaoqiu didn't want to talk anymore. He handed the cucumbers and tomatoes to her and let her do whatever she wanted.

At this time, Liu Xiaoqin brought a few friends to find Yi Xiaoqiu.

Each of them dragged a small bundle of firewood.

"Sister Yi has more firewood today than yesterday, and it's all outside!"

"Thank you, I'll go get some candy." Yi Xiaoqiu said and went into the house.

When she came out, she was holding a handful of candy in her hand, just as much as yesterday. She gave the candy to Liu Xiaoqin and let them divide it among themselves.

As for treating them to meat, she didn't mention it because it wasn't her meat.

Lu Huaian stood at the door and watched with great interest. It was really easy for Yi Zhiqing to exchange sugar for firewood!

Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at him and then ordered, "Lu Zhiqing, go with them and bring in all the firewood!"

"Okay!" He needed to borrow the pot to boil water later, so it would be bad to just sit there and do nothing.

The one who cooked was Luo Wanlin. After working in the fields for two days, she was the only one besides Yi Xiaoqiu who had the energy to cook a big meal. The other female educated youth were exhausted, and the fatigue on their faces eased a little when they saw that there was meat to eat.

Luo Wanlin’s cooking skills are really good. Although she doesn’t use many seasonings, she manages to make the dish look and smell delicious. The aroma wafts from far away while the meat is still simmering in the pot.

After roasting the rabbit meat and then the roe deer meat, the aroma of the meat became stronger and stronger.

Several old educated youth were unable to move their legs in the backyard. If they had not eaten meat the day before, they would have forgotten what meat tasted like.

Now, smelling the meat, several people's saliva came out of their mouths unconsciously.

Lin Dongyan and the other two male educated youth subconsciously walked to the outside of Yi Xiaoqiu's house.
