Eating melons

Chapter 39 County Procurement

"I have it at home too. We have not only dried goods but also nuts, including quite a few pine nuts and walnuts."

Hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi both looked at her. They knew this person, her name was Wu Cuihua. They heard that she had six sons, all of whom were capable, and it might be true that there were many nuts in her family.

I'll ask Aunt Liu when I have the chance to see what the situation is at her house. If it's true, I can buy more. It's cost-effective whether I eat it myself or sell it to the system. After all, these nuts are not cheap.

"It's the same at my house. We don't just have this, we also have plenty of firewood. Winter is coming up soon, and you're all going to live alone. You'd better have enough firewood, otherwise it will be a bit difficult in winter. Jiang Zhiqing, Wei Wei, Liu Zhiqing, Wu Zhiqing, do you want to buy some?"

"My family has plenty of laborers and firewood. Li Zhiqing, Xiao Zhiqing, Yu Zhiqing, why don't you buy some too? This kang will have to burn for half a year! You must have enough firewood."

Originally, when Li Zhibin saw them surrounding Yu Xi and the others, he was planning to watch the show, but now that the fire has burned on his head, he didn't want to watch the show anymore. After all, he didn't plan to buy firewood from them, so he quickly interrupted their conversation.

Li Zhibin: "Auntie, speaking of hibernation, we still don't know what vegetables to stock up on! What vegetables do people eat in winter here? How are they cooked?"

"Indeed, you have to learn a lot in your first year, otherwise you won't have anything to eat."

"We dry vegetables and make pickles here."

"Now all kinds of vegetables have come down one after another, such as cucumbers, persimmons, beans, eggplants, etc. Now that the weather is good, we are drying them all, sun-dried vegetables."

"When the temperature drops and the weather gets cooler, we can pickle all kinds of vegetables, such as pickled garlic, sauerkraut, shepherd's purse, eggplant, cucumber, and radish."

"There are also pickled vegetables and salted duck eggs."

…………

In this way, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu talked to each other and tricked a group of aunts into telling them how to make various pickles and dried vegetables along the way. They also agreed to continue teaching them when they returned.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were stunned by what the two did. They didn't expect it to be like this.

After arriving in the county town, they first sent their things and then went to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast together.

As soon as the four entered the state-owned restaurant, they saw Yu Xi, Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei, and the other three also saw them.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Weiwei, come here, come here."

Wei Wei: "I'll order first and come over when I'm done."

After eating sweet potatoes on the ox cart, Jiang Qi and Wei Wei both wanted to eat something with soup. The dumplings here were served with dipping sauce, so they both ordered a bowl of noodle soup.

Liu Jiaojiao immediately approached Wei Wei when she saw her approaching, "Wei Wei, what are you guys planning to do today?"

Wei Wei: "Just wandering around and buying some newspapers from the bookstore and the recycling station."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Then let's go together!"

Wei Wei: "Okay. By the way, I have two things to discuss with you after dinner."

Liu Jiaojiao: "What's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu were all stunned.

Jiang Qi looked directly at Wei Wei, his eyes telling her not to say anything.

Wei Wei: "Let's talk after dinner."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Okay."

Jiang Qi, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wei Wei's words. However, when breakfast was ready, the three of them took it and started eating quickly.

There is no other way. I have to hurry up. What if Wei Wei finishes eating first and starts talking directly?

The three of them ate quickly and their minds worked quickly. As long as their minds worked quickly and more images flashed through their minds, they could squeeze out the toilet image that Wei Wei had just brought up.

Wei Wei was a little surprised to see the three of them eating so fast, but she didn't think much about it. She just thought they were hungry, so she started eating quickly too.

Jiang Qi finished eating quickly, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and burped because he ate too fast, so he glared at Wei Wei.

Wei Wei was stared at with confusion, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Qi rolled his eyes at her and said, "You really are my living father."

Li Zhibin didn't understand what was said, but Xiao Xuemu could understand it a little and agreed with it, so he nodded. Wei Wei naturally saw it, because Xiao Xuemu was sitting opposite her!

Wei Wei: "What did I do to you?"

……

Jiang Qi: "Have you finished eating?"

Wei Wei put down her chopsticks: "I'm done eating."

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Jiang Qi started talking, "Do you have anything to do?"

Yu Xi: "We don't have anything to do. We just came to the county town to stroll around and then go to the department store to buy some things."

Jiang Qi: "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, I want to discuss something with you three while everyone is here. The four of us are planning to dig a well like the one the captain has at his house and then build a toilet ourselves. Do you want to join us?"

As soon as they heard the word "toilet", the three of them frowned. Obviously, they had arrived at the toilet of the Educated Youth Institute first. The three of them immediately understood why Jiang Qi and the other two had that expression when they heard Wei Wei's words. There was no way, after all, the toilet of the Educated Youth Institute was really hard to describe.

When Liu Jiaojiao heard about building toilets and digging wells, she agreed without hesitation. "We have to do it. The toilets have to be better. I don't know if I can use the toilet in the educated youth camp in winter because I'm afraid of getting splashed."

Wei Wei: "No, it will freeze in winter."

Jiang Qi couldn't accept this topic, so she quickly stopped talking, otherwise the two of them would keep talking about it. "Stop, stop, stop, stop it quickly, don't talk about this topic anymore, it's too disgusting and too annoying."

Wei Wei: "Great! How about you two?"

Yu Xi: “I’ll build it too.”

Wu Mei: "Me too."

She had earned a lot of money from Liu Jiaojiao and Yu Xi during this period, so it was still a little bit. It would be much more convenient after this. Also, she couldn't stand the toilet at the educated youth institute. Now that the house was built, the toilet and well would not be a big deal.

Jiang Qi: "Okay, now that we've agreed, let's go! Don't take up space, make yourselves at ease, we're leaving first."

After saying that, she pulled Wei Wei out. They had things to do! They had to go to the recycling station to see if there were any review materials, and also buy some old newspapers to start a fire. They had bought some before, but they were all used up. All the ones they used later were bought by Wei Wei in the system mall.

Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei hurried to catch up. Liu Jiaojiao said, "Wait for me."

Jiang Qi and Wei Wei also slowed down when they heard the sound.

Jiang Qi: "We're going to the scrap yard. Do you want to go too?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Let's go and buy some newspapers to start the fire."

Although she doesn't have a stove at home, she still needs to heat the kang during the winter, so she went to buy some.

When they arrived at the scrap station, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi skillfully went to the place where waste newspapers and books were placed, and bent down to search.

The scrap recycling station is a treasure trove in period novels. Which period novel heroine has not found antiques, gold, and jade?

What's even more exaggerated is that you can find authentic works of various extinct famous paintings and rare copies at random, and you can find gold or jade in any box.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi also followed the trend. They were very excited each time they came for the first two times, but they had to come with excitement every time, and they always returned disappointed.

Maybe it’s because they’re not the heroines! Forget gold, I’ve never seen anything golden.

As for the books and rare copies, there were no traces of paintings, no traces of rare copies, and no traces of books written in classical Chinese. There were some novels and picture books, and the two of them selected quite a few of them, but they didn't dare to take the novels for fear of being reported.

As for antiques, not to mention that all these porcelains are broken, even if they are antiques, the two of them don’t recognize them. It can only be said that they are not destined to have them.

Besides, people at that time were not fools. They knew that the things that ended up in the scrap yard had been searched countless times, and the good stuff had been taken away long before it got here.

There are definitely some lost ones, but they are very few. It is absolutely impossible to find various authentic and unique copies at random like in novels.

In fact, there was one thing she had always been curious about: most of those rare books were written in classical Chinese. How did those people tell that at a glance? Could it be the so-called halo of the heroine?

I cleared out the scrap yard and went to the bookstore. Since I didn't have any exercise books, I bought two red books.

There's no way, they really only know a few words about this thing, and if they encounter someone looking for trouble, they're in trouble. There are still many potential "experts" in the team! So you should memorize it while you're hibernating!
