A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Shen Jiaren was eating the noodles in the bowl and suddenly realized that although the bowl was small, it had everything you need: meat, vegetables, and noodles. Most importantly, the cold cucumber salad was really delicious.

Liu Hui looked at the way Shen Jiaren ate like a hamster, especially her cheeks moving all the time, and he wanted to pinch them again.

I feel like Shen Jiaren seems to have gained a little weight recently, and the fat on her face is a little fatter than when I first went to his house for dinner.

It seems that he listened carefully to what Shen Jiaren said on the way home from dinner. Although he was working hard on the autumn harvest, he looked at the lunch box Shen Jiaren brought several times and the food was still good.

Liu Hui finished his meal in two or three bites. "Eat slowly. It's too late. It's better to eat slowly."

Shen Jiaren nodded upon hearing this.

Liu Hui stood up and looked at Shen Jiaren's yard. There were a lot more things there than when he first came, especially firewood and pine cones, which really covered the entire yard.

I didn’t see any sheds or cellars. It seems that we haven’t had time to find someone to do these things as mentioned before. Wait until the autumn harvest is over and then we can come over to build the outdoor firewood shed and cellar.

Liu Hui thought about it, then went to the kitchen and prepared to sort out the firewood in the kitchen, or at least divide it into piles. He could do as much as he could today, and he could come later or every day to do the rest.

After Liu Hui entered the kitchen, he walked to the pile of firewood and coal briquettes.

Liu Hui first stacked all the coal briquettes again, because there were too many things on this side of the kitchen where firewood was stored. If he still stored them in the same way as before, there would definitely not be enough space. He could only pile the coal briquettes higher and reduce the floor space they occupied, trying to stack them as high as possible. However, the height had to take into account Shen Jiaren's height, whether she could reach them and how to get them.

After Liu Hui sorted out the coal briquettes, he began to sort out the firewood, sorting it into pine needles, small firewood, medium firewood, and large firewood.

I didn't organize them carefully, I just roughly circled their positions, and I'll come back to organize them in detail when I have time. But now if I burn a wood stove, all kinds of firewood are placed at hand, so when adding firewood or starting a fire, I can find the corresponding firewood in time.

Liu Hui saw that it was getting late, so he went to the yard to see if Shen Jiaren had finished eating. After washing the dishes and putting them away, he prepared to go back.

When Liu Hui walked into the yard, he saw Shen Jiaren had just put down the bowl. "Sit still, I'll go wash the bowls and put away the dishes in the kitchen to avoid dust. It will be convenient when you use them later."

"Let me wash the dishes. It's already dark. You should go back early."

"No need. You don't know how to clean up the dishes after washing them. Let me do it. You can just keep your previous habit of eating alone. Aren't all your food items in the outer room anyway? The things in the kitchen and the warehouse won't be used."

“Oh, fine, since you’ve discovered it, I won’t move either. It just so happens that I don’t want to move, and I don’t want to clean up.

Then wait a moment, I'll bring you some food. I have peach cakes, red shrimp candies, egg cakes, and by the way, there are yellow porcini mushrooms drying there, take a look and see what you want, I'll pack some for you to eat." After Shen Jiaren finished speaking, she pointed to the place where the yellow porcini mushrooms were drying.

“You don’t need to eat anything, keep it for yourself.

Yellow porcini? Where did you dry them? Show me so I can see how you dried them.

Hearing this, Shen Jiaren stood up and pointed to the basket where the yellow porcini mushrooms were dried and said, "It's right here. Take a look and see if I have done it right. Is this drying method correct?"

After Liu Hui put down Shen Jiaren's bowl, he looked in the direction Shen Jiaren pointed. It was indeed yellow porcini mushrooms, which were sliced ​​and dried. The slicing skills were not very good. They were either thin or thick, or the thickness was uneven. "Okay, this drying method is OK, but next time if you don't know how to cut, you don't need to slice them. You can also dry them whole.

Next time I go into the mountains to cut bamboo, I'll cut a few more and make you a drying rack and wood chips. Then you'll have a place to dry vegetables. Also, when you're dealing with mushrooms, you can just use wood chips."

"Oh, but, when is the next time? Do you want to discuss the time? What if we miss it?

Oh, there is one more thing. I have picked up so many pine cones and yellow porcini mushrooms. I have already communicated with Su Hongmei from the supply and marketing cooperative. I will give her the yellow porcini mushrooms after they are dried. I will also give her some of these pine nuts."

“I will communicate with you specifically about the time to cut the bamboo, so you don’t have to worry about it.

How do you deliver things to the supply and marketing cooperative? Do you give them to them every day or do you give them to them whenever you have them? "

"It's not possible every day. When you reach a certain amount, just send it to Sister Hongmei of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. If she asks you to bring something back, you just take it with you."

"Okay, then if I have to go to town the next day, I will tell you in the afternoon or evening of the first day and come to pick up your things.

You didn't tell anyone else about this except me, right?"

"No, it's better not to bother two people with one thing. I'm sorry to bother you so much. And since you go to town so often, I just thought of looking for you and didn't tell anyone else. Even the plan to take something to the supply and marketing cooperative in town was not confirmed until this morning when I went shopping."

"Well, that's fine, I'll go wash the dishes, you can handle it yourself.

In addition, I would like to give you a suggestion. When sending fresh mushrooms, it is best to place pine needles on the top and bottom, and then put some large green leaves on the top and bottom, so that they can be preserved longer. "

"Oh oh oh."

After hearing Shen Jiaren's answer, Liu Hui went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and put the things used today in the kitchen, the things in the outer room and the west room warehouse in their respective places. He also put the things used in the kitchen in the corresponding cupboards to avoid dust.

"I'm leaving now. Go to bed early. You have to go to the wheat field tomorrow to continue the autumn harvest. Come here to close the shop."

"Yeah, so you really don't want anything? I tried some of those pastries today, they were all delicious."

"No, just eat it yourself. Eat more to keep your body healthy."

"If you don't want to eat it, why don't you take it back to Goudan and Erya? Wait a moment, I'll get it."

“No need, I’ve already seen the peach cakes and fruit candies that Goudan and Erya are holding, no need to give them to me.

A little help is a debt of gratitude, a little help is a debt of resentment, this applies to all times and all ages."

"Oh, oh, I see."

"Don't be so honest next time. You have to tell others what you have on the menu. What will others think if they know?

Don’t you know why the educated youth at the educated youth points always quarrel?

"You and Goudan and Erya saw people quarreling today, and you summarized it quite well, didn't you?"

"how do you know?

Forehead. . . . . .

that..."

"Okay, close the door, I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."

"Oh, see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow."
