After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

Seeing Bai Wanting enter the kitchen without looking back, the remaining three people looked at each other. Lin Sitian broke the silence and said:

"Let's separate the things in the backpack first. There are animals, wood, and wild vegetables in one backpack! Let's sort them out first, put them all in one pile, and then deal with them slowly."

After saying this, she bent over and scooped up all the wild vegetables in the basket with her hands and piled them on the other side of the yard. The other two also bent over and took out the scattered wild vegetables from the baskets and piled them together!

While sorting these supplies, Guan Huijun said, "When they come back later, the first thing we have to do is kill all the game and make it into smoked meat or bacon.

Anyway, we just keep one chicken or one rabbit to eat fresh, and kill the rest and store them. We can't keep live animals in the yard, otherwise it would be bad if others found out, although we also have a few strips of bacon hanging in the yard.

But if we have to stir-fry meat every day, it's not enough for us to eat for several meals. Now that we have some more, we should save it and stew a little every day during the autumn harvest. This way we can keep our bodies healthy and eat meat every meal! "

Liu Zhipeng and Lin Sitian both agreed when they heard this. After all, raising a living thing not only requires guarding against others finding out, but also the worry that it might die. Instead of doing that, it would be better to kill it right from the start.

Lin Sitian also wanted to take advantage of this time to express her plan, so she said, "I want to go to Uncle Zhao's (the carpenter's) house after dinner to see if he has any large sieves and wooden racks. I plan to buy some to dry the herbs."

Liu Zhipeng, who had just returned from putting the wood back on the pile to get more firewood, happened to hear this and started to retort, "Lin Zhiqing, your purchase of those things can be said to have benefited our courtyard. Let's wait until the rest of the educated youth return and discuss this at the dinner table.

Let's see. We'll leave a few people in the yard to process the game and sort the wild vegetables. We can also clean the herbs we dug at home. Then one of the male educated youth will accompany you to the carpenter's house!"

Guan Huijun responded repeatedly after kissing him: "Yes, yes, we will discuss it together when they all come back. Now we just need to sort these out and put them in order."

After saying this, Wang Wenxiang's inquiring voice was heard: "What do you want to discuss with us? ＼(`Δ')／"

The three people who suddenly heard the sound looked towards the gate of the yard and found that the four people who went to work had also returned.

The four people who came back saw the three people in front of them sorting the things in front of them, and joined in the sorting. Xia Zhiyan asked while sorting:

"Bai Zhiqing went to cook alone. Is she okay?" The kitchen was not far from the yard, and when Lin Sitian and the others came back, they had put the backpack in the yard at the kitchen door.

Therefore, Bai Wanting, who was busy in the kitchen, also heard the other educated youth coming back and Xia Zhiqing's question, so she poked her head out of the kitchen and responded:

"I can handle this by myself. I'm not making any complicated dishes today. You four can just help them clean up."

After hearing the answer, Xia Zhiqing didn't insist on going to the kitchen to help. Because Bai Wanting was already very familiar with the kitchen work, she could handle it alone, so she also helped to tidy up the pile of things on the floor.

Strength lies in numbers. Soon all the firewood that Liu Zhiqing had chopped was moved back to the woodshed and neatly stacked. Then all the green things (wild vegetables and medicinal herbs) were put in one pile, and the game was put on another side. The remaining pile was the medicinal herb roots poured out from the bottom of the backpack!

Seeing the four people working on the tree roots in front of them were also very confused. Guan Huijun looked at their puzzled expressions and said to Liu Zhipeng:

"Come on, we two brothers already know what happened. Let's go and deal with the game. While we have time, I'll put the game in a pile and go get some water from the well. You go to the kitchen and help Bai Zhiqing light a fire. It can not only be used for cooking, but also for the water we'll need when we kill the game later."

Hearing someone calling him, Liu Zhipeng happily followed Guan Huijun and left. Lin Sitian looked at the people staring at each other and explained:

"Didn't Wang Zhiqing just come back and ask what he wanted to discuss with you guys? Actually, it's about this. My grandfather and mother both studied medicine and have made some achievements in medicine.

Therefore, I have been influenced by it since I was a child, and I also know some common edible medicinal materials, so I went to collect them and prepare them to provide an extra layer of protection for our courtyard.

So after dinner, some of you educated youth will stay in the yard to process the game. I have to go to Uncle Zhao's house to order the tools for drying the herbs. Now that I have brought back a few herbs, I must first buy two sieves to use, and then order Uncle Zhao a wooden rack specifically for drying the herbs."

After listening to Lin Sitian's explanation, Wang Wenxiang was the first to react. He smiled and said in the kindest words he had ever said:

"That's a good thing. Then you and Xia Zhiqing can go to Uncle Zhao's house and buy whatever you need. After all, you're thinking about the people in our courtyard!"

At this moment, Xia Zhiyan heard her name and followed suit, "Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, Xiaolin Zhiqing, I will follow you to Uncle Zhao's house. The money you spent on the sieve and the wooden rack will be reimbursed by the entire Execution Court.

It's impossible to ask you to dig medicinal herbs, prepare them, and pay for them. It doesn't make sense.

You brought these herbs back from the mountains, and you're familiar with their efficacy. This will provide a layer of security for everyone in our compound, and save us a lot of money on medicine. We can't thank you enough, and we will definitely support you!"

Hearing that everyone supported her, Lin Sitian was still happy in her heart. After all, this was a decision she had made after careful consideration for a long time.

Lin Sitian thought that it would be unrealistic for her to reveal her family background and the fact that she knew medicine and could identify herbs as soon as she arrived in the countryside.

If someone reported it, it would be more trouble than it was worth. So during this period of time, even though I could clearly see the plantain on the edge of the field and the dandelions around the yard, I just ate them as wild vegetables and didn't say anything about their effects.

I have been holding it in for so long. Looking at the behavior of the people in my yard and their attitude towards me, I decided to speak out. Fortunately, my decision was right.

After taking a small step, Lin Sitian decided to take another big step and said:

"Hehe, that's all thanks to your support. And sometimes when it comes to preparing herbs, you guys have to help me out. Otherwise, I definitely won't be able to handle it all by myself. After all, some herbs need to be boiled and sliced, and I can't cut that much by myself!"

Wang Wenxiang heard this tiny request, which was nothing to him as the director of their small educated youth academy, and he agreed to it generously:

"Oh, it's no big deal. If you need us, just tell us. We can say that if you howl in this yard, the remaining seven of us will be happy to obey you!"

After a burst of laughter and conversation, it was time for dinner. Today, Bai Wanting made: stir-fried bacon with wild garlic, stir-fried bird eggs with garlic sprouts, steamed pheasant eggs, and a small cabbage soup! The staple food was still: coarse grain porridge.

I went up the mountain and saw two egg dishes, so I was curious: "Why are there two egg dishes today? Don't you usually have one meat, one egg, and one vegetable?"

Although their dishes are limited in variety, with only two, three or four dishes every day, they all contain meat and eggs!

And the portions are quite large. The staple food every day is the coarse grains bought from the brigade when I went to the countryside. Therefore, although the food is good, the food is consumed quite slowly. Today I actually saw two eggs on the table, so I became curious!

Bai Wanting looked at the other three people who knew the inside story but remained silent, and said angrily:

"I have to thank our educated youths Lin and Guan for this. The fried eggs were from a bird's nest dug out by Guan. He dug out more than a dozen eggs, but they were too small, so I smashed them all and fried them.

The steamed eggs are pheasant eggs picked up from the pheasant coop that Lin Zhiqing poked. There are more than 20 of them. I picked ten today. Let's eat as much as we want. They are all free!

The other educated youths who were sitting at the table and had already picked up the multi-grain porridge were also laughing and responding, and they also made teasing jokes to the two educated youths who contributed their food.

In such a pleasant atmosphere, Guan Huijun said: "The harvest in the mountains is quite good, which is much better than going to work. After all, we can't do much work in the work nowadays and can't earn a few cents. It's better to go to the mountains.

We went to the mountains this time, and you just saw us in the yard. We caught four pheasants and eight rabbits. Besides the bird eggs and pheasant eggs we just ate, we also found so many wild vegetables and medicinal herbs. So we decided to go to the mountains again this afternoon."

Bai Wanting thought about the aroma of the wild garlic when she was cooking just now and responded:

"Yes, yes, yes, we still have to go to the mountain later this afternoon. Let me tell you, I discovered today that Lin Zhiqing is luckier than the rest of us. She dug a rabbit nest by herself and contributed seven rabbits.

She also got two pheasants, and the pheasant eggs were also obtained by her. After all this, we can still dig up so many medicinal herbs. Therefore, the educated youth must come with us to the forest in the mountains later this afternoon! "

Lin Sitian looked at the relaxed smiles and cheerful moods of the crowd and said:

"Okay, okay, I'll do as our Bai Zhiqing says. Then I'll trouble you to stay home and brew the herbs for me. You happen to be very familiar with cooking, so I'll definitely explain how to prepare it in detail. I promise you'll learn it after listening!"

When Bai Wanting heard that such an important matter was handed over to her, she felt valued in her heart. Looking at the happy smiles of her friends at the table,

She knew that her partners did not exclude her just because her family conditions were not as good as theirs, and they had such a good relationship with her. Now they had entrusted such an important matter to her, so she promised:

"I guarantee to complete the mission." After saying this, he stood up properly and saluted Lin Sitian.
