Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

I returned to the abandoned courtyard at the foot of the mountain and received a message from Zhou Limei.

"Qingyan, I will send Tongtong off first tomorrow. After that, I will go home and wait for you. Please come early tomorrow."

Lin Qingyan is now skilled in replying to messages.

"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow morning. By the way, Sister Zhou, can you please buy me some vegetables or fruits that you want to eat? I'll go back and try to see if I can grow them."

Zhou Limei, who was developing her business with her mobile phone at home, saw the message first.

He was surprised and asked, "Can we try to plant it if we have seeds? Are you so good?"

Lin Qingyan thought that she had room to cheat, as she could even grow rare things.

“Not all seeds can be planted, but most seeds can be planted.”

"Okay, then I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely get you a few more varieties." Zhou Limei agreed very readily.

Lin Qingyan was thinking about the seeds and decided to find some time to go up the mountain to see if she could transplant some rare varieties and plant them in the space.

Before I encountered the wolf last time, I transplanted some plants into the space. Later, I was frightened by the changes in the space. In addition, I have been busy these two days and forgot to take care of them. I don’t know what their current status is.

Lin Qingyan hurried into the space and finally found the plant that she had transplanted into the space last time in a corner.

The ginseng and ganoderma that were stimulated to grow last time are growing very well. They are a lot bigger than when they were first transplanted. Lin Qingyan watered them again.

They gently shake their leaves as if saying hello.

The front yard of the space has always been the same temperature, neither cold nor hot, and there is no wind. Except for her and the growing vegetables and fruits, everything else seems to be still, not as lively as the backyard.

Thinking of the backyard, she wanted to go and take a look, but she was a little scared.

I looked at the time. It was already past three in the afternoon. Gu Yizhou and his men were going to go on patrol that night, so I decided to go out and make them something to eat so they wouldn't be hungry in the middle of the night.

Lin Qingyan took some necessary vegetables and the lard she had bought and took them out.

She was preparing to refine the oil in the kitchen. Actually, she wanted to refine the oil in the space, but thinking that she would share some of the refined oil with Ye Yi, Gu Yizhou and others, she simply refined it here.

I'm going to make something to satisfy my hunger for dinner. I'm going to make a pancake. It's too late to make buns because I haven't left the dough.

Lin Qingyan washed and cut the lard, put it aside to dry, and after sorting everything out, she called Ye Yi over.

"Ye Yi, are you busy now?"

"I'm not busy. Please make dinner. It's winter now and there are no work points to earn. I don't have anything to do. I'll just eat early and go to bed."

"Don't burn it at night. Come and help me. I'll make you something delicious to eat at night."

"What delicious food to make?"

"You'll know when you come." Lin Qingyan rarely kept someone in suspense.

"You're still keeping me in suspense. What are you planning to do?"

"As long as it's delicious, go ask Fang Yunxing and the others if they want to join me for dinner tonight." Lin Qingyan turned back to the kitchen.

Ye Yi walked to Fang Yunxing's door. The door was closed and quiet. It was past three o'clock and she didn't know if he was sleeping.

Ye Yi hesitated for a moment, then came to Gu Yizhou's door again. It was also quiet. In the end, she left without knocking on the door.

"Their doors were closed and it was quiet inside. I didn't know if they were taking a lunch break. They had to patrol at night, so I didn't call them." Ye Yi said to Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan patted her head and said, "I've been so busy these past few days that my head is dizzy. It's because you're so thoughtful that I didn't even think about this."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued picking vegetables. "Wait and watch more. When they get up and go out, go tell them."

"Okay, I'll watch it." Ye Yi only then saw the cut lard on the stove and shouted excitedly.

"Wow, Qingyan, you bought suet? And you bought so much?"

"Yes, I bought two large slabs of oil! We will refine the oil later. Go and take your oil tank and fill it with oil." Lin Qingyan had a proud expression on her face.

"You must accept the money this time, otherwise I don't want it." Ye Yi first expressed her attitude that she must pay today.

"Of course I'll ask you for money. I bought it with my own money, so I won't give it to you for free. Don't worry, go get the pole and come back to help me light the fire."

Lin Qingyan looked at her with a smile on her face, as if to ask, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

After getting the reply, Ye Yi happily went back to get the jars. When the jars were brought, they began to prepare for refining the oil.

Refining oil is very simple, and everyone can do it in this era. However, lard is hard to buy nowadays, so many families’ meals have little oil.

It is not like modern times, where, I don't know when, people started saying bad things about lard and people wanted to eat more expensive vegetable oil. Now that everyone is used to using vegetable oil, some experts say lard is better.

Anyway, Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi knew all this, and they wouldn't care even if they knew. In this day and age, who would dare to be picky when there is oil to eat?

"Can we light the fire now?" Ye Yi asked while sitting under the stove.

"That's enough, don't make the fire too big."

Lin Qingyan used a brush to get the water out of the pot, and when the fire was lit and there was no water left,

Lin Qingyan poured all the chopped lard into the pot, quickly flipped it with a spatula, and said to Ye Yi,

"Don't use too big a fire, use a smaller one. Just a small fire will do. The oil residue made with a small fire tastes better."

"Fat residue is delicious when used to make steamed buns or dumplings. What are we having for dinner?"

Looking at Ye Yi with shining eyes, Lin Qingyan teased her, "You are drooling."

Ye Yi was so scared that she quickly touched her mouth, but didn't find anything, so she glared at her angrily.

Lin Qingyan laughed out loud.

At this time, the aroma of refining oil had already come out. Gu Yizhou, who was still sleeping in the room, also smelled the fragrance. He looked at the time and it was time to cook dinner.

He stood up and prepared to call Fang Yunxing, but Fang Yunxing was dreaming at this time. The meat was cooked and was already in his hands ready to be eaten, but he was woken up by Gu Yizhou.

"Couldn't you have called me later? I've almost had the meat. You should compensate me for it." Fang Yunxing went crazy after being woken up.

Gu Yizhou took the wet towel directly from the basin and threw it on his face, which made him sober instantly.

He sniffed hard and smelled the aroma of meat, then he washed his face with a towel.

He stood up and asked, "Who is cooking the meat?"

When Gu Yizhou got up and called him, he had already seen it. It came from Lin Qingyan's room, but he didn't pay attention to him at this time. Seeing that he woke up, he turned around and left.

Everyone in the room where the educated youth were staying could smell the odor to some extent.

Sun Qiushui smelled the food and started to curse again, "Eating all day long, why don't you eat yourself to death!"

Although Wang Xiangyu didn't say anything, she lowered her head to hide the anger and unwillingness in her eyes.

Xu Jianshan just sniffed it and didn't say anything else.

Other people who usually have no sense of existence and have been ignored for a long time become psychologically dissatisfied at this time.
