Chapter 186 The Educated Female Youth of the Time 11
Chu Yuan did it right away. He took out five pounds of local pork from the space, mixed it with the small piece he had just received, and then found a meat grinder.
Fortunately, I bought a hand-cranked one, otherwise it would be useless here.
It took more than an hour just to grind the five pounds of pork into minced meat.
Of course, such tiring work should be done by the puppet. After Chu Yuan took out the meat, he went back to the house to take a nap.
After all the preparations were completed, Chu Yuan started to stir-fry the sauce.
She still has to complete this final step herself, otherwise how can it be considered as homemade meat sauce.
Five pounds of pork can be fried into two pots of meat sauce, one spicy and one non-spicy.
Chu Yuan packed them all into glass bottles in the space, making a total of ten small bottles.
He took out five packs of dried meat and four bottles of hot sauce from the space and put them in a small bag, and planned to send them to Qiao Xun the next time he went to town.
Afterwards, he found out five air-dried rabbits, five air-dried chickens, and several large bags of homemade black fungus, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc., all of which he had found on the big rocky mountain behind him and didn't cost him much.
It was packed into a big package with four other bottles of meat sauce and this was what was prepared to be sent home.
These may seem like a lot, but they're nothing if you share them with your relatives.
Chu Yuan also prepared a portion for his eldest brother's family, which contained a chicken, a rabbit, two bottles of sauce and some mountain products, and would be sent directly to the Hebei Provincial Military Region.
After all, her brothers have loved her equally since childhood. After her eldest brother knew that she came to the countryside in Jilin Province, he sent her supplies, so she couldn't favor one over the other.
After the autumn harvest, there was less work to do in the fields, and Chu Yuan's work points went from 6 a day to a day, because after Qiao Xun left, Chu Yuan asked the village chief to take over the job of cutting grass for pigs.
Considering the brown sugar and white wine she brought, the village chief readily agreed.
From then on, Chu Yuan took advantage of her position to go to Dashi Mountain every day. She was not afraid of the deep mountains that others dared not set foot in. If she found prey, she would just kill it directly.
The main reason is that there are abundant resources in the deep mountains, and it would be a waste if we don’t pick them.
Besides, the cold winter is coming soon, and she has to chop more firewood to heat the kang.
Now she is the only one living in the yard, and she doesn't need to hide her actions anymore, so every day she goes to the mountains to cut down a few dead trees, puts them in the space and takes them home.
After three trips, she had stored enough firewood for the entire winter.
By the time she had almost explored the entire mountain, the cold winter in Jilin Province arrived as expected.
On November 11, the village chief announced the official suspension of work at the threshing ground, and from then on, the Northeast region began a four-month-long "hibernation" activity.
Chu Yuan also took what was said to be the last bus to town before the New Year to send the things he had prepared.
Although she had had the opportunity to go to the town before, the weather was not yet freezing. Chu Yuan was worried that the food she prepared would go bad on the way, so she kept it in the space to keep it fresh.
After all, the postal service nowadays is not as convenient as it is in later generations, and it is common for a package to stay on the road for a month.
Now the first snow has fallen in Jilin Province, and the temperature in other areas is gradually dropping. There is a high probability that these foods can be preserved.
Arriving at the post office, Chu Yuan found a sister who looked very friendly and said, "Sister, I want to send a few packages."
The elder sister was overjoyed to see such a pretty girl calling her sister sweetly, and her tone was much softer than when she was talking to other people: "Just fill out this form, fill out as many copies as you need to send."
The last time she came to pick up the remittance slip, she met a ferocious-looking uncle whose attitude acted as if Chu Yuan was going to take his money.
This time, this sister won her heart, and Chu Yuan decided to look for this sister when she went to the post office to do business in the future.
She handed the completed report back and indicated the addresses to which the three packages should be sent. "Sister, please don't make any mistakes."
When the elder sister saw the addresses of three military districts were filled in on the three lists, she moved more carefully: "Don't worry, girl. We will check the packages sent to the military districts again and again. There will be no mistakes."
Seeing that the elder sister had given her guarantee, Chu Yuan paid the money with confidence.
Because my parents are in Liao Province, my eldest brother is in He Province, and Qiao Xun is in Jing City, these three addresses are not far from Jilin Province, so it cost a total of 2 yuan to mail the package.
After leaving the post office, Chu Yuan went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. This time she got the coal coupons sent by her parents, as well as some pastry and sugar coupons that were about to expire. She had to spend them quickly.
Fortunately, there are a lot of things in the supply and marketing cooperative here. She bought coal and cakes, and also some cheap fruit candies. When someone comes to visit her house, she can give them a few candies.
The coal coupons were sent to her by her parents after they had saved up, totaling 80 kilograms, which was enough for her to burn a few pieces to keep warm during the coldest times of winter.
But she also has things like coal in her space. As long as the source is known, the quantity can be easily explained.
So during the moving process, she quietly added a little into several bags. She estimated that there were about 120 kilograms, enough for her to burn for more than a month.
The backpack on her back was also filled with various supplies. Every time she came to the town, she would bring a large backpack with a lid to make it easier for her to smuggle things out of the space.
This was the last time they went out before the New Year. Everyone bought a lot of things, so Chu Yuan's heavy backpack did not stand out in the crowd.
Everyone was obviously more interested in the coal briquettes in her hand.
People in the village seldom have the opportunity to get tickets, and rare tickets like coal tickets are even harder to come by. Moreover, they live behind a big rocky mountain, and it doesn't cost money to chop firewood on the mountain, so no one would buy things like coal briquettes.
The last time someone in the village bought coal briquettes was when Zhiqing Qiao first arrived last winter.
This caused a huge uproar in the village at the time. Everyone was saying that Qiao Zhiqing was a spendthrift and that he would burn such expensive things even though he lived alone.
But everyone knew that Chu Yuan was not someone to be trifled with, so no one dared to say anything in front of her. At most, they would talk about her behind her back.
Anyway, as long as it doesn’t come to light, Chu Yuan will not pay attention to it.
She couldn't shut up everyone in Baiyun Village, so as long as it didn't affect her life, she would ignore them.
The days of hibernation are very happy for Chu Yuan. He would heat the kang every day and stay on it all day.
When it’s time to eat, just boil a pot of water, let smoke come out of the chimney, and then get some ready-made food from the space.
Set aside half of your time every day to do exercises, memorize texts, etc., to prepare for the future college entrance examination.
The rest of the time I would find a few novels to read or some stand-alone games to play in my space, and my life would be so comfortable.
