Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 228 Mr. Zhang’s Package

After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Jingxue did not stay in the town and went straight back.

After walking some distance away from the town, she released the bicycle from the space and rode home.

When I got home, it was still early, not even four o'clock.

In the evening, I have to deliver meat and cigarettes to the cowshed, and also deliver packages to Grandpa Zou.

After receiving the package, Liu Jingxue looked at the sender specifically and confirmed that the package was sent by Grandpa Zhang.

Except for the wild boar meat that was specially reserved, the rest of the meat was pickled by Liu Jingxue and Tuanzi after we came back from slaughtering the pig.

Now they are all in the time formation, which will help them absorb the flavor faster.

Liu Jingxue planned to take advantage of the time now to slaughter two sheep and two deer in the space, and then send them to the cowshed together with wild boar meat.

It was very convenient to slaughter and process prey in the cowshed. She didn't have to do it with her hands at all, she could just use her mind.

After dealing with the sheep and deer, Liu Jingxue decided to go all out and dealt with the big fat pig that was scheduled to be slaughtered.

Although there was no shortage of meat these days, they ate chicken, duck, goose, rabbit, mutton, venison, and the fish, shrimp and crabs raised in the space, but no pork.

There are already several big fat pigs in the space, and it’s time to eat some meat.

Liu Jingxue kept half of the mutton, venison and pork in the warehouse, ready to eat fresh, and pickled the other half to make bacon.

All the materials for making blood sausage and pig-killing dishes have been prepared, and Liu Jingxue put them all in the warehouse for storage.

I plan to make it myself after I finish eating the pig-killing dishes I received today.

In the evening, Liu Jingxue heated up a bowl of slaughtered pork, steamed a fish, and fried some vegetables for dinner.

At seven o'clock in the evening, it was snowing and people would probably not go out, so Liu Jingxue dressed neatly, carrying a package in one hand and a pot of pig-killing dishes in the other.

He went to the cowshed with a radio and batteries in his pocket and carrying meat, cigarettes and various seasonings prepared for the cowshed.

Worried that she would leave footprints in the snow and be discovered, Liu Jingxue walked forward and asked Tuanzi to clean up her footprints.

Liu Weihua came to open the door and saw the package in Liu Jingxue's hand. He was surprised and said, "Xiaoxue, you went to the town to pick up the package today.

Why don't you wait until the snow stops before you go? It's so cold, what if you get frozen?"

Liu Jingxue pointed at her outfit and said, "Uncle, look at me like this. I'm going to get cold."

Looking at Liu Jingxue who was wrapped up like a ball, Liu Weihua couldn't help but laugh.

"That means we know that the only person coming to us could be you. Otherwise, I would have really thought that a huge snowball had rolled over from nowhere."

Pointing to his military coat, he said, "Uncle, even snowballs wouldn't be this color."

"It's pitch dark here, with only a little light from the snow, how can anyone see the color of your clothes?"

Seeing his niece carrying a large package with the backpack full at the back, Liu Weihua wanted to take the package from her, but was rejected by Liu Jingxue.

“Uncle, it’s just a few steps, please don’t stretch out your hand.

Why don't you wear gloves when you come out to open the door? Don't get frozen.

If you don't have leather, cloth or cotton, I will send them to you."

Liu Weihua said, "No, we all have gloves, your aunt prepared them for us a long time ago.

I just came to open the door, so I didn’t wear it.”

After bringing the pig-killing dish to her uncle, Liu Jingxue shook off the snow on her body outside the door, and then kicked off the snow on her boots before entering the house.

After putting down the package in her hand, Liu Jingxue took off the backpack behind her.

There was a fire wall and a kang in the room, and it was warm. After Liu Jingxue put down her backpack, she quickly took off her military coat and leather boots and sat on the edge of the kang.

It was just a few steps away, and Liu Jingxue knew she had to take off her clothes, so she didn't wear a down jacket, but only a cotton vest.

Liu Jingxue pointed to the package beside her and said to Mr. Zou, "Grandpa Zou, this package was sent by Grandpa Zhang. Please open it and take a look.

Maybe there is news about Uncle Zou and the others in there."

When Mr. Zou heard this, he could no longer sit still. He quickly put on his shoes, got off the kang, and took a pair of scissors to open the package.

Maybe I was too excited, my hands were shaking.

When Old Man Wu saw him like that, he got off the kang to help him.

Liu Jingxue pointed at the backpack and said to Wang Xiulan, "Aunt, there are a few packs of cigarettes and seasonings in the backpack.

There were also twenty kilograms of wild boar meat, twenty kilograms of mutton, twenty kilograms of venison, and two large wild boar heads.

You don't need to pickle these, just keep them and eat them fresh.

I have already pickled a lot of them and am ready to make bacon.

I already have a lot of preserved meat in stock, so you don’t need to smoke it again.”

Worried that they were used to saving money and wouldn't want to eat, Liu Jingxue told them, "Don't be reluctant to eat. With the mountains behind us, we can't lack meat.

This time I am going into the mountains with the hunting team, so I can’t hide anything.

After the snow stops in a few days, I will go into the mountains alone again and bring back some prey."

Wang Xiulan had already read the letter from her eldest son that Liu Jingxue sent last night. She naturally knew that her niece had sent a lot of good things to her son, even ginseng.

"Didn't you send a lot of bacon to your eldest brother and his family? You still have some stock.

Don't be reluctant to eat it yourself, give it all to us and your elder brother."

Liu Jingxue waved her hand and said proudly, "Aunt, I'm not the kind of person who mistreats myself.

Let me tell you, I eat meat for every meal now, rice every day, and pasta only occasionally.

I’m really not cut out for making pasta.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiulan smiled and said, "Don't talk about you, we also have meat for every meal now.

When I was in the army, I only ate meat a few times a month. But here, the food is better.

This is all thanks to you.”

"You are the elders, and I am the younger generation. Isn't it my duty to be filial to you?"

Wang Xiulan got off the bed, put on her shoes, took out the cigarettes and distributed them directly to the three men.

After taking out the seasoning, she told Liu Weihua who was standing beside her,

"Lao Liu, take the meat and hide it in the secret cellar.

Remember to keep the temperature low, otherwise the meat will get spoiled if the temperature is too high."

After Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan put the things away and came back, the two old men finally opened the package.

Wow, there is malted milk, milk powder, cigarettes, alcohol, candy, snacks, cotton-padded clothes, cotton, cloth, food, and medicine. It has everything.

There is also a red woolen coat and a pair of small leather shoes, which are obviously for girls.

There was even a roll of banknotes, of course they were all national or military notes.

When he saw the roll of banknotes, Mr. Zou picked it up and stuffed it directly into Liu Jingxue's hand.

"Xiaoxue, we don't need this, you can use it."

Liu Jingxue was not polite, "Okay, I'll buy things for you."

Mr. Zou took out candies, snacks, floral fabrics, tweed coats, and small leather shoes.

I also took out a portion of malted milk and milk powder.

He placed all these things next to Liu Jingxue and said, "These are obviously prepared by your Grandpa Zhang for you. Take them."

Liu Jingxue didn't pretend to be polite and accepted it readily.

After taking out all the things, I didn't see the letter.

At Wang Xiulan's reminder, Mr. Zou rummaged through the grain bag and found an oil-paper bag.

When I opened them, I found that they were indeed letters, one was to Liu Jingxue and the other was to Mr. Zou.

After Liu Jingxue took the letter, she put it in her trouser pocket, planning to read it after returning home.

After finding the letter, Mr. Zou couldn't wait to get under the kerosene lamp and read it.
