Chapter 126 A Little Scared
"Yiwan, thank you. Now I have one more dish to eat." After that, Wenxi also started to pick bamboo shoots seriously. The only sound left in the bamboo forest was the crisp sound of picking bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoot shells can be dried and used as firewood, so the two people did not peel the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. They waited until they got home to peel the bamboo shoots and then kept the bamboo shoot shells to dry and use as firewood.
After picking a basket of bamboo shoots, Wenxi and Lin Yiwan also found some mushrooms. Now that spring has arrived, many mushrooms have grown. Many people are taking advantage of the free time to pick some mushrooms and dry them to eat when there is no vegetable available.
After going down the mountain, the two said goodbye and returned home. Wenxi put the backpack by the well and went to the kitchen to cook lunch. Then he went to the well to wash the vegetables and mushrooms. Wenxi decided to make a mushroom soup and stir-fry some cabbage sprouts for lunch, and then get a meat dish from the system warehouse.
Anyway, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were not at home, so she didn't know what she made at noon. She was too lazy to spend so much time cooking big dishes every day, so she just made a big pot every time and put it into the system warehouse. When she wanted to eat, she just served it on a plate. It was very convenient and saved trouble.
Lin Yiwan took Wenxi to pick bamboo shoots today, giving Wenxi an extra dish to eat. As a way of returning a favor, Wenxi planned to give Lin Yiwan a big fish. However, thinking of the fact that Lin Yiwan had transactions with the black market, she naturally knew that the black market received big fish. As soon as she took out the big fish, Lin Yiwan should be able to associate her with the man who supplied fish to the black market.
So Wenxi had to give up the idea of sending fish, but Lin Yiwan was not short of money or supplies, so Wenxi really didn't know what to give her!
We can only take a look first!
In the afternoon, Wenxi sat by the well and peeled bamboo shoots. She had never peeled bamboo shoots before and had no skills. She could only peel them one by one, and her efficiency was very low. It took her a long time to peel a basket of bamboo shoots, and her fingers were sore.
After peeling the bamboo shoots, Wenxi washed them, then took them to the kitchen, put them in a pot, added water and started to boil them. After the water boiled, she boiled it for a few more minutes, then took out the bamboo shoots and drained the water. She left a plate to eat in the evening, and after the rest had cooled down, she tore them in half with her hands and then placed them in the yard to dry.
After processing the bamboo shoots, Wenxi went to the bamboo forest again with a basket on her back. The bamboo shoots were fresh and tender in this season, so she picked more and dried them more. After getting in touch with her family, she sent some more dried bamboo shoots back home, which could also be used as a dish for her family.
There was no one in the bamboo forest, so Wen Xi first broke off a basket of bamboo shoots to make it look like he was carrying them. The bamboo shoots he broke off later were directly put into the system warehouse for storage. Otherwise, he would have to deliver them home one by one, which would not only waste time but also be very inefficient.
Wenxi kept picking bamboo shoots until the evening before going back. She picked almost several hundred kilograms of bamboo shoots. No one competed with her for the bamboo shoots, which was really great.
After returning home, Wen Xi quickly cooked the rice and cut the bamboo shoots that were left over from the afternoon into bite-sized pieces. When heating the meat and vegetables again, she poured the cut bamboo shoots in, added a bowl of water, and began to simmer.
It was the first time for Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to eat bamboo shoots. They tasted very crunchy, just like eating crispy bones. However, the fresh, crispy and sweet bamboo shoots were really delicious.
"Xiaoyue, didn't you say before that you wanted to make money? How about I give you a way to make money?" Thinking of the large bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, Wen Xi's mind suddenly seemed to light up.
Jiang Yue became interested and looked at Wen Xi with sparkling eyes, "Xiao Xi, what's the way to make money?"
"How about using your free time to pick bamboo shoots for five cents a pound?" Jiang Yue would feel insecure and feel like she owed them something if she didn't have money.
But if you give her money directly, Jiang Yue will naturally not accept it, so let her exchange bamboo shoots for money, so that Wen Xi doesn't have to pick bamboo shoots herself.
Wen Xi is not afraid that Jiang Yue will report her. After all, Jiang Yue herself is the person involved. If Jiang Yue reports her, she will not have a good ending either. It can be said that they will die together. Is Jiang Yue that stupid?
"Really?" Jiang Yue's eyes brightened when he heard this.
Wen Xi nodded.
Jiang Yue was very happy. "Okay, then I'll finish my work quickly tomorrow and then go to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots."
"I'll go too." Shen Jiaojiao immediately raised her hand. Why would she miss the chance to make money? And it seemed that bamboo shoots were not always available. If she wanted to make money, she had to hurry up!
Wen Xi nodded, "Okay, don't tell anyone about this. Just the three of us need to know. If someone asks you why you're breaking bamboo shoots, just say you're breaking them to see if they're edible."
After dinner, the three of them sat in the kitchen and chatted for a while. It then got dark. Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue took turns washing up and then went back to their rooms.
Wenxi was waiting for Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui to come and teach them. Zhao Zhiping was still catching eels for Wenxi. The strong laborers had actually already started working. Although it was not yet time for spring plowing, they needed to pick seeds and raise seedlings in advance.
In his spare time, Zhao Zhiping would go to the edge of the field to look for eel holes, and then dig out the eels with his hands. So even if there were no ditches to dig, Zhao Zhiping could still catch eels.
After teaching Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui, Wen Xi went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash up, and then returned to his room to rest.
Wen Xi was lying on the bed, thinking about going shopping with Lin Yiwan tomorrow, when the sign-in system suddenly issued another task, "Host, now issuing a task: please follow the planned route to the destination."
Then a huge map appeared in front of her eyes with a glowing arrow on it. Wen Xi used her finger to zoom in on the map and found that the destination was actually in the town. She didn't know where in the town specifically. There were so many intricate alleys in the town, and Wen Xi had not been to every place.
Knowing that there was a dying person waiting for her to save him in the dark, Wen Xi did not waste any time. She hurriedly put on her clothes and left a note, asking them to tell Lin Yiwan that she had something urgent to deal with and could not go to the town with Lin Yiwan.
After going out, Wenxi followed the direction of the arrow. Although it was already past the New Year, it was still quite cold at night. The wind blew on his face, so chilly that his nose was almost blown off.
Wen Xi jogged and walked briskly, and reached the town in half the usual time. However, this made her very tired and she was out of breath.
Following the arrow, they came to a long, dark alley and saw a figure lying in the darkness. Wen Xi was startled. It was broad daylight when she rescued Jin Changfeng, so she was not afraid of any scene. However, seeing such a scene in the middle of the night really scared her.
