This morning's harvest was very fruitful, and we chatted as we walked down the mountain.

A shadow passed by them with a whoosh.

"Ah! What is that?" Ye Yi jumped up in fright, and a few persimmons in the basket also jumped out.

"Wow, it looks like a rabbit." Lin Qingyan's eyesight and hearing are now much better than before. I don't know if it's because she has been drinking space water recently.

Without thinking much, she bent down, picked up a few stones, and threw them in the direction of the black shadow.

There was a thumping sound, as if something was hit. "No way?" Lin Qingyan thought to herself, and the three people beside her also looked at her in astonishment.

Ye Yi opened her mouth very exaggeratedly.

Gu Yizhou walked quickly forward and found a rabbit still struggling in the grass.

He held the rabbit's two ears and signaled Fang Yunxing, who had opened his eyes wide, to come forward to help. He found a piece of grass to tie up the rabbit's legs. After making sure that it would not run away again, he looked at Lin Qingyan with an incredible look.

"I said this was a coincidence, do you believe it?" Lin Qingyan herself was speechless. How could she hit the target just by throwing a stone randomly?

Gu Yizhou didn't say anything, just looked at her. Lin Qingyan seemed to understand the meaning in his eyes, as if to say, what do you think.

Lin Qingyan was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.

"It really hit it!" Fang Yunxing and Ye Yi, who only realized it belatedly, stepped forward to break the awkward situation.

"I thought of braised rabbit."

"Yes, add more chili. The diced rabbit is also delicious."

Ye Yi and Fang Yunxing were discussing how to eat rabbit, and not surprisingly, they heard a few sounds of swallowing saliva.

"I haven't eaten such fresh meat in a long time."

"Let's go back. Let's eat something to fill our stomachs first. Prepare the rabbit in the afternoon and we'll have a snack in the evening." Lin Qingyan waved her hand generously.

"Qingyan, you are really great. I will hold on to you tightly in the future and see if I can improve the food." Ye Yi looked at Lin Qingyan with shining eyes.

"Give all the firewood we picked up today to Comrade Lin Qingyan. We can just use our good luck to eat some rabbit meat." Fang Yunxing said hurriedly.

"That's not necessary. Just collect the firewood slowly. It's still early in winter." Lin Qingyan refused.

"You can get Yunxing and I's firewood, and Comrade Ye can keep his. Don't refuse. It's easy for two grown men like us to collect firewood."

Gu Yizhou made the final decision.

"OK then!"

Lin Qingyan didn't want to refuse. Picking firewood was not tiring, but carrying or backing the firewood was still a bit tiring for a girl.

"It just so happens that we picked up some wild mushrooms on the mountain today, which go really well with rabbit meat. I'll cook tonight and we'll have a big dinner."

Lin Qingyan also arranged the job of chef for herself in the afternoon.

The few of them returned to the educated youth center. The other people who had lived with them there had just finished their meal and were digesting their food in the yard. When they saw that each of them had a full backpack, they gathered around them.

Sun Qiu Shui looked at the few people coming back together, and asked Ye Yi jealously, but her eyes glanced in the direction of Fang Yunxing.

"What good stuff did you pick up?" After saying that, he moved forward and wanted to lift the backpack to see what was inside.

Ye Yi dodged to the side and said, "What good stuff I picked up is none of your business. Besides, don't you all know what good stuff there is in the mountains?"

"Why don't you take care of our business? There are so many good things in the mountains. They are everyone's common property and cannot be taken as private property by certain people." Sun Qiu Shui said dissatisfiedly.

"Are you mentally healthy?" Lin Qingyan asked, looking at her head.

"Lin Qingyan, you are sick, don't go too far." Sun Qiu Shui's eyes turned red with anger when Lin Qingyan asked her if she was mentally ill.

"Everything on the mountain belongs to the country and is also owned by the people of Xishui Village. Everyone has the right to go to the mountain to pick up mountain products for their own consumption.

I work hard to earn a living, but how can it be considered as stealing other people's property when it comes to your mouth? "

Lin Qingyan didn't want to pay attention to her, but this person seemed to not understand what she was saying and kept moving forward.

"I'll say it again, stay away from me next time, and don't blame me for being rude if you come close to me again."

After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she took Ye Yi away and they each went back to their rooms.

Lin Qingyan placed some persimmons in the cold storage room in the space to keep them fresh so that she could eat fresh persimmons at any time.

If Lin Qingyan knew about modern refrigerators, she would definitely be amazed at what this space is made of. It is so smart that it can even keep food fresh in the whole room.

After lunch, I sorted the persimmons, left the space, lay down on the kang and took a nap until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

I got up and opened the door, and found Gu Yizhou already cleaning the rabbits in the yard.

"Up? The rabbit will be cleaned up soon." Gu Yizhou said to Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan felt a little embarrassed and could only say, "I'll boil some water."

"The water is ready, too. It's already boiling on my kitchen stove."

"Then I'll make some mountain products." Lin Qingyan suddenly realized that she was almost out of work.

After a while, Ye Yi and Fang Yunxing heard the sound of talking in the yard and came out.

They brought their own rations and came to Lin Qingyan's kitchen together. Lin Qingyan also knew the importance of rations in that era, so she didn't bother to be polite with them and left the cooking task to Ye Yi.

At this time, Gu Yizhou had also fished out the rabbit, brought it over, and asked, "How do you cut it?"

"Chop it into smaller pieces." Lin Qingyan instructed.

Gu Yizhou picked up the knife and started chopping the rabbit. In a few minutes, the whole rabbit was chopped up.

Lin Qingyan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the rest."

"Let me help you light the fire." Gu Yizhou sat under the stove with great tact and put the firewood in.

Lin Qingyan did not refuse. She washed the rabbit meat in a basin and washed it several times, then put ginger, green onions, garlic cloves and salt in it for marinating. At that time, there was no cooking wine in the countryside.

While pickling, Lin Qingyan prepared other dishes. After pickling for more than ten minutes.

"It's time to light a fire." Lin Qingyan said to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou skillfully lit the fire, and after the pot was heated, he scooped some lard into the pot. After the oil was completely refined, he directly poured in the rabbit meat and stir-fried it. After a while, the aroma came out.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Ye Yi

"Qingyan's cooking skills are really catching up with the level of a chef. I feel full just by smelling it." Fang Yunxing

"You are full, don't eat later." Ye Yi

"That won't do! At least I have the credit for tying up and carrying the rabbits."

The meal ended in a noisy atmosphere, and no one paid attention to the sour remarks made by the educated youths.

After dinner, Gu Yizhou got a few locks from somewhere. The shape of the locks was somewhat different from the ones currently used in the village. The quality of the locks looked very good and the workmanship was also very advanced. He distributed the locks to several people.

"I got a few locks. I lock the door when I go out and I also lock the door when I go to bed at night."

Gu Yizhou said as he handed one of the locks to Lin Qingyan, and handed the remaining two locks to Fang Yunxing, motioning him to give them to Ye Yi.

"How much? I'll give you the money." Lin Qingyan asked after taking the lock.

"No money!" Gu Yizhou

"No, I'll give you the money, otherwise I won't want the lock!" Lin Qingyan

"I'm asking someone to replace this. It's really free. If you really want to give, I'll help you cook a few meals next time." Gu Yizhou said this and left without looking at Lin Qingyan.

"Ah?" Lin Qingyan was dumbfounded. Did he want to eat the food she cooked, or was there some other reason?
