Quick Travel: Is it OK to recycle yourself?

"Why not? It's still bright outside. Go back and cut the meat into slices."

"Okay, just take care of your own safety."

Qu Nannan went back home and looked for some space, got some green vegetables that might still be available in this season, and also found a piece of pork belly weighing more than a pound to take with her, and some dried seafood to make the base of the pot, before going to the Huang family.

Northeastern people are not so particular about what they eat from a pot. As long as something can be cooked in a pot, they will put it in and cook it together. It can be said that the pot looks no different from a hodgepodge, but as long as there is meat, it is a good meal.

The four of them had a delicious meal with their mouths drooling.

……

Qu Nannan was sitting on the kang in her home. On the kang table was a small electric rice cooker with food bubbling inside. When she looked up, she could see the heavy snow falling outside. This was her first time to celebrate the New Year in such a cold place.

She had seen snow before, but never this heavy. In the previous world and the original world, she lived in the south. At most, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, but they melted as soon as they hit the ground. It was nothing like here, where the snow was almost up to her knees when she stepped in.

Qu Nannan picked up a large piece of cooked mutton with chopsticks, put it in the bowl, dipped it in the sauce and put it in her mouth. This mutton is really delicious. This is the mutton that Huang Zhi helped buy last time. It has been kept in the space to keep it fresh. It is just right to eat it sitting on the warm kang without going out.

Then she took a sip of the bubbling Coke. It would be better if she didn't have to go to work. It was really painful to go out in this day. She wasn't cold, after all, she had high-tech underwear, and the constant temperature didn't make her cold. But the road was too difficult to walk on, and she had to follow in other people's footsteps.

The elf sat on Qu Nannan's dining table, staring at the red soup bubbling in the pot and swallowing its saliva helplessly. This thing must taste delicious. In the next world, it must be upgraded to level five so that it can enjoy delicious food with its host.

Qu Nannan wanted to laugh when she saw the elf's useless look. She didn't know how a system could be so greedy.

The elf rolled his eyes quietly and said, "Let's try to catch one, just as if you are not greedy."

"Stop laughing! Someone is knocking on the door. It's the Huang siblings."

The elf didn't want to go out in this weather, so he got two "little flying insects" and placed one at the gate and one in the yard, so that anyone who came outside could see who it was at a glance.

Qu Nannan quickly put away things like Coke that were not allowed to appear here, and also put two long wooden boxes on the ground, filled with various vegetables, in order to fool people.

There is no need to put away the small electric rice cooker. She has seen them sold in stores, but few people are willing to buy them. Although the functions are very different, the appearance does not look much different.

She put on her cotton jacket, went out and opened the door: "Why did you two come here in this heavy snow?"

"I'm worried about the snow on your roof. I'll let Quanzi sweep it for you before I feel at ease. Have you eaten yet? I'll go heat up the food my mom brought you. It's too cold and it's cold all the way here."

"No need to heat it up, save it for me to eat in the evening. Come in quickly and sweep the snow later. It's snowing hard now and it's useless to sweep it."

The two followed Qu Nannan into the main room. A burst of heat and an enticing aroma wafted over. The brother and sister swallowed their saliva helplessly.

Huang Quan didn't feel ashamed at all: "The life you live is not something that even a god would change."

Huang Zhi slapped her brother in the face: "You're just talking nonsense."

Huang Quan shrank his neck and said, "There are no outsiders here. I will be careful next time."

It’s not a good idea to talk about gods and ghosts these days, or you’ll be careful that someone may frame you.

Huang Zhi looked at the food on the kang with amusement: "Your food is not bad."

Huang Quan protested: "It's not just good, it's simply great."

"Okay, stop talking, come and eat together. This spicy sauce is made by Chef Wang, it smells delicious. Let's drink some soda with it."

The two of them didn't hesitate to take off their outer coats and got on the kang. The kang took up one third of the room, so it was spacious enough for seven or eight people to sit on for a meal.

"Where did you get these vegetables? They look really fresh."

Qu Nannan pointed at the two long wooden boxes on the ground and said, "That's right. If you don't think of something to do in this cold winter, you can only eat cabbage, radishes, potatoes and seeds all day long. When you go back, bring some back to Aunt Huang and Uncle Huang to change their taste."

"Eat quickly, don't be polite with me. I've prepared a lot of food, and I'm worried that we won't be able to finish it. This piece of mutton is the same piece you brought me last time. Let me cut it up and we'll eat it all."

"Brother Quan, there are noodles in the kitchen cupboard, please bring them over so we can cook some noodles for the end."

"Okay, do you want anything else? I'll bring it back."

"No, these are enough for the three of us."

Qu Nannan not only went to Huang's house for meals, sometimes she would prepare some delicious food and would also call the siblings over to improve their lives. As time went on, the siblings were not polite at all when they came to her place, and Qu Nannan quite liked their impoliteness.

"Hiss~ It's quite spicy, but it's a satisfying spiciness." Huang Zhi's face turned red when she took a bite of meat.

"My parents asked you to come to their house to eat on your thirties."

Qu Nannan was stunned. Yes, it was already the 28th this year, and the Chinese New Year was just two days away. If it wasn’t a holiday, she would have to go out and work and wouldn’t have such a leisurely time.

"I won't go over. I'll stay at home with my parents for the New Year. I'll take the New Year gifts you prepared for me back with me and tell Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang that I won't be going over for the New Year this year. I'll go see them after the first month of the lunar year."

It is said here that it is not appropriate to visit relatives during the New Year when you are in heavy mourning, as people may think you are cursing them. It has only been half a year, less than a year, since Qu's father passed away. No matter how good your relationship is, you should be careful.

Huang Zhi also knew about those sayings and did not persuade Qu Nannan to go. She could just bring some food to Nannan when the time comes. If she didn't have to visit relatives with her parents, she would have come directly to spend the New Year with Nannan.

"That's fine. I'll bring the New Year's Eve dinner to you. You don't have to cook for one person. Cooking for one person is the most difficult."

"Great! Aunt Huang's cooking is still delicious. My cooking skills are still far behind her."

"By the way, I have something to tell you two, and I won't admit I said it after I leave this room."

Huang Zhi and Huang Quan both put down their chopsticks and waited for Qu Nannan to speak. Qu Nannan was not so serious: "Didn't a few leaders come over to have dinner with us a few days ago?"

"From what I heard, it seems that the college entrance examination is going to be resumed. I don't know the exact time. The higher-ups have been holding meetings to study it. I heard from our hotel's sister Sun that many of their relatives in the countryside who lived in the cowshed have already returned. I think this is possible."
