After the braised river prawns were ready, Wen Xi waited until they were no longer hot before peeling them with her hands. She removed the hard shell on the head and found that it was full of shrimp paste. She removed the black stuff from the shrimp paste and ate it. She felt extremely satisfied and enjoyed it.

The shrimp meat is also smooth and elastic. The meat of a large shrimp cannot be wrapped in one bite and has to be eaten in two bites. Wenxi felt full after eating only a few shrimps, which shows how big the shrimp is.

She was reluctant to eat the remaining shrimps, so she put them directly in the system kitchen, because they would not change in the system kitchen and could be eaten at any time.

There were too few big river shrimps. The two lotus ponds only caught less than 300 kilograms, so Wenxi did not plan to sell the big river shrimps. She wanted to keep them for her own family to eat slowly.

When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came back, Wen Xi put four large river shrimps in a bowl for each of them, because she herself felt full after eating the fourth shrimp.

Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue washed their hands and faces, and came over to eat the shrimp. "What kind of shrimp is this? How come it tastes better than crayfish? And the shrimp meat is so big!"

"I don't know what kind of shrimp it is, but it should be a kind of river shrimp. Anyway, it's okay as long as it's edible." At this time, no one knew what kind of shrimp this was, so Wen Xi just pretended not to know.

But since there are big river shrimps here, she can take advantage of this season to collect more big river shrimps, because big river shrimps are the fattest and most delicious in this season.

"I'm going to the town to buy meat tomorrow morning, but I'll be back before lunch. You can deliver the mint water to everyone, wash and cut the vegetables, and wait for me to come back and cook." The three of them sat under the eaves, and Wen Xi reminded them, "No matter what happens, there must be someone in the cafeteria to watch over our things. Do you understand?"

Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue nodded while eating shrimps, "Xiaoxi, don't worry, we will never give anyone the opportunity to frame us."

The next morning, after Wenxi got up, he first put the things everyone had collected into the system warehouse, weighed them, registered them, and cooked breakfast. Then Wenxi went up the mountain with a backpack on his back.

The meat was bought yesterday, so there was no need to go today. She just went to the waterfall to harvest vegetables and pick ripe wild fruits, and then created the illusion that she was going to the town to buy meat!

Because she arrived too late, some of the ripe peaches fell to the ground and rotted and were inedible. She hurriedly picked the peaches that were already turning red, as peaches taste better when they are a little harder.

Because he had to rush back to cook before noon, Wenxi did not stay here. He soaked the pig offal in the creek water in a bamboo basket, and then hurried to pick the vegetables that could be picked. He also looked at the watermelons. The watermelons had grown a lot and the vines could no longer cover them. However, Wenxi remembered the time when the watermelons would bear fruit, and did not touch them before they were ripe.

The hyacinth beans are also in bloom. I didn’t expect that the hyacinth bean flowers are so beautiful!

After picking all the fruits and vegetables, Wenxi went to the creek to wash the pig offal. She rolled up her trouser legs, took off her shoes, and went into the water, standing above the pig offal so that the oil stains on the offal would not drift onto her legs.

After washing the dirt off the pig offal, Wen Xi collected the offal and went back down the mountain. She walked towards the pig shed and carried the ten kilograms of low-quality meat she had bought yesterday in a backpack towards the canteen.

Seeing that Wenxi really bought some meat, Wang Xiaoju and Sun Mei's brows were filled with joy. They hadn't seen Wenxi for a long time, and they felt very uncomfortable. They always thought that Wenxi was being lazy. When Shen Jiaojiao said that Wenxi went to buy meat, they didn't quite believe it. After all, who would be so stupid as to buy meat for everyone to eat!

But now that they saw Wen Xi really coming back with the meat, they were naturally happy. Although there were so many people that they couldn't get much, they could at least have a few bites, right?

Wenxi called Shen Jiaojiao, and the two of them went to the river bend to wash the meat. Wenxi asked Shen Jiaojiao to catch small fish with the meat, while she went to the river bend to pick small celery. She was going to make a dish of fried celery and meat for everyone at noon today.

Inferior meat is just scraps, with all kinds of stuff in it, but Wenxi knows how to cook it, so in her eyes even scraps are no worse than meat. After all, she can cook pig offal so deliciously.

Wenxi picked enough celery and took it to the water's edge to process it carefully. He first removed the large leaves, then washed the celery. Returning to the canteen, Wenxi used pork skin and fat to refine oil. The refined oil can be used for cooking, and the oil residue can be eaten directly or used for cooking.

The remaining meat is cut into minced meat and used to stir-fry celery. The reason for cutting it into minced meat is to prevent people who are fussy from feeling that they have gotten less meat than others, or that others have got more meat, and meat cannot be counted like bones.

When it was time to eat, everyone could smell the aroma of meat before they even entered the cafeteria. They were all almost drooling. Although harvesting wheat was hard, life was so good now!

Captain Qian arranged for Wenxi to cook, and this was a perfect decision because they didn't have such treatment during the busy farming season before. Who could be like Wenxi, who could come up with different ways to cook delicious food for everyone every day!

When Captain Qian came to the line in front of him, Wen Xi said to him, "Uncle Qian, when you get off work, please ask someone to bring a few kilograms of pickles or pickled cucumbers tomorrow. I will make a delicious dish for everyone."

Because there were many people in the cafeteria, Captain Qian did not ask too many questions and just nodded to Wenxi. When everyone heard that Wenxi wanted pickles, they were very curious. They wondered what delicious food Wenxi was going to make for everyone. Everyone was looking forward to Wenxi's cooking skills.

Because he discovered that there were big river shrimps in the waters of Kaiming County, Wenxi went out to look for ponds and catch fish, crayfish and big river shrimps every night after the discovery. From the Fengshou Brigade to the town, Wenxi gradually knew how many ponds, lotus ponds and small ditches there were along the way, and he knew them better than the locals.

Later she ran in the opposite direction, and then ran towards the front of the Harvest Brigade. Originally, she was going to catch two lotus ponds in one night, but later she was afraid that summer would be over and she would not catch anything, so she would go out every night when it didn't rain and would not come back until she felt sleepy.

When Wenxi went out at night, she also encountered water chestnuts and water caltrops. In the shallow ponds, she put on a swimming suit and went down to pick them. In the deep ponds, she used a scoop net to catch fish and shrimps and did not go into the water. After all, she only has one life, and she dare not risk her life.

Of course, these are all for later.

Soon it was He Chenan's day off. The team was harvesting wheat during this period and he could not take leave, so Wen Xi had to come back before ten o'clock in the morning so as not to affect cooking.
