Eating melons

"Weiwei, sell the ginseng quickly and see how much it can fetch."

As soon as he got home, Jiang Qi couldn't wait to sell ginseng.

Wei Wei took the ginseng and scanned it. "I scanned it when I was at Aunt Wu's house. Two pieces cost over 20,000 yuan."

Hearing this number, Jiang Qi burst into laughter. "Do we have 20,000 in savings now? Adding the previous amount, it should be around 30,000!"

It's only been half a year, so by the time reform and opening up comes, 100,000 yuan will definitely not be a problem. We'll be rich, rich."

Wei Wei smiled and nodded, "I feel like we can save up a hundred thousand before the college entrance exam."

Hearing this, Jiang Qi became very motivated. You know, in her previous life, she had been a social animal for five or six years and still hadn't saved up 100,000 yuan.

The prices in the system were about the same as in her previous life, which meant that she and Jiang Qi saved up three Ws in just a few months.

Moreover, these three Ws were earned from their side jobs. After all, their main job was to work. How could she not be excited?

Looking at the remaining ginseng on the table, "Let's use this ginseng to make soup! We need to eat some of this much mutton."

Jiang Qi looked at the herbs Wei Wei bought last time and said, "I remember you can put astragalus in mutton soup. Buy some."

Wei Wei had just earned 29,000 yuan and didn't care about the money at all. Seeing that there was still so much mutton, she bought a pound directly.

Jiang Qi took the astragalus and went to wash the herbs to make soup. He washed all the herbs and put them in the pot, and cut a large piece of lamb chops.

"Put this on your side and let it stew. I need to work here."

"Got it."

Wei Wei took the pot and walked home.

Wei Wei's stew is indeed easier. She has two stoves, one big and one small, and a small stove.

It is just right to put the small pot on the small stove. The pot is still a bit big to put on the stove.

But usually she eats at Jiang Qi's place. She has two stoves for both cooking and boiling water, so she always makes soup at Jiang Qi's place.

After lighting the fire and putting some firewood on it, Wei Wei went to help Jiang Qi. After all, there were so many things to do, and if Jiang Qi was left alone, it would take who knows how long.

When Wei Wei arrived at Jiang Qi's house, Jiang Qi was cutting mutton.

Wei Wei immediately walked over and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Qi took a few pieces of chopped mutton and said, "Cut these into slices and stir-fry them tomorrow. Chop these into minced meat and make mutton sauce."

Wei Wei looked at the large lumps of mutton and didn't know what to say. "Are you going to use all this to make mutton sauce?"

Jiang Qi nodded and said, "I left enough for three days. Even if the four of us eat together, we may not be able to finish it in three days.

We have no place to smoke it, no way to keep it fresh, and no need to sell it, so we might as well make it all into mutton sauce and use it as sauerkraut later."

Yes, you heard it right. With an income of more than 20,000 yuan, both Wei Wei and Jiang Qi felt that selling mutton for such a small amount of money was unnecessary.

Both of them felt like they had suddenly become rich. They no longer cared about the small amount of money and were too lazy to make any more. They decided to use it all to reward themselves.

After all, this kind of opportunity is rare. If you want to eat it in the future, you have to buy it from the system mall, and the purchase price is much more expensive than the selling price.

After hearing Jiang Qi's words, Wei Wei didn't say anything. She took the mutton and started chopping it up.

Jiang Qi continued to process the mutton, separating the meat from the bones.

After processing the mutton, it is time to chop the rabbit into small pieces, then marinate it with various spices and leave it there, waiting to fry it in the middle of the night.

That’s right, it was in the middle of the night. Because there was no one around at that time, they wouldn’t be discovered. The two of them planned to stay up all night.

Not only did he plan to stay all night, he also planned to borrow Xiao Xuemu's house.

Because Jiang Qi and Wei Wei's houses were sandwiched in the middle, they were easily discovered at night because of the strong smell of fragrance, especially Jiang Qi's house, which was only separated from those old educated youth by Wu Mei.

Wei Wei's situation was not much better, and there was also Liu Jiaojiao next to her. Although Wei Wei had no ill will towards Liu Jiaojiao, she was still on guard against her.

After all, she still often targets Jiang Qi until now, so neither of them intends to test human nature.

Also, they were close to the educated youth center. Xiao Xuemu's house was at the very edge. Although it was not far from the educated youth center, it was at least the farthest among them. Li Zhibin was next to him, and there was no one on the other side.

It took the two of them an entire afternoon to process so much meat, and it was almost dark by the time they finished.

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin have not returned yet.

Jiang Qi: "I'm going to your place for dinner tonight. I'll cook some food and then come over. I have too much stuff here, and it wouldn't be nice if someone saw me going in and out."

There was meat everywhere on Jiang Qi's side, with six basins full of it, including all the vegetable washing basins they had.

She also used the clean enamel basin that Wei Wei brought from the Wei family.

Wei Wei looked at the huge pot of soup and felt a headache. "Can we finish all this? We still have to boil these bones tonight."

Jiang Qi said without thinking, "Save it for Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu."

Wei Wei thought of how the two men had acted cautiously when they saw the medicinal herbs in the soup that morning, so she silently put most of the mutton and soup into the casserole. As for the medicinal herbs, she didn't put any at all.

Jiang Qi didn't say anything when she saw what Wei Wei did. There was nothing she could do. They couldn't finish the herbs. If Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin saw them, they would definitely not dare to eat them.

Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu stayed up all night for two nights, so it should be no problem to catch up. Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu don't look like the kind of people who don't need to catch up.

It was dark when Wei Wei and Jiang Qi finished dinner, and Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu also came back.

Originally, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu could have returned earlier, but Xiao Xuemu suddenly thought of the medicinal herbs Wei Wei wanted.

He wanted to get all the herbs Wei Wei wanted as soon as possible, change his watch as soon as possible, and send Li Zhibin away as soon as possible so that he could go to the mountain to stock up on supplies as soon as possible.

Therefore, Xiao Xuemu took Li Zhibin to collect a batch of medicinal herbs.

Seeing Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin coming back, Wei Wei quickly said to Jiang Qi, "Go and collect your things first. I'll ask Xiao Xuemu."

Jiang Qi nodded and said, "The casserole is hot, so carry it in a basket."

Wei Wei filled a basket with the food she had left for Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin and went to Xiao Xuemu's house.

Li Zhibin was just about to light a fire and boil some water when he saw Wei Wei coming over with a basket.

Wei Wei: "Have you had dinner? I left some for you."

Li Zhibin took the basket and smelled the rich fragrance as soon as he opened it. "I've eaten it, but it's still edible. Thank you."

Wei Wei looked around but didn't see Xiao Xuemu. "Where's Xiao Xuemu?"

"Here! Wait a minute."

As soon as Wei Wei finished speaking, Xiao Xuemu's voice came from the grocery room inside.

After a while, Xiao Xuemu came out. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Wei Wei didn't hide it from Li Zhibin. "I want to discuss something with you. Can you lend us your house for one night?"

Li Zhibin:???

Xiao Xuemu:???

Xiao Xuemu asked uncertainly, "Borrow my house? What are you going to do?"

Wei Wei nodded and said, "Jiang Qi and I plan to get rid of the mutton and rabbit meat tonight. We are only separated from the old educated youth by Wu Mei.

Your place is farther away and safer, so I'd like to borrow your house to process the meat."

When Wei Wei said this, Xiao Xuemu immediately understood what she meant. This was to prevent the old educated youth from discovering that they were processing meat in the middle of the night!

"Sure, but can you handle so much meat? Do you want my help?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei immediately shook her head and said, "No, the two of us are enough. But you have to put away your clothes and quilts. The smell and fumes will be a bit strong later, so don't get them on."

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin haven't slept for three days and two nights and are still busy. She doesn't dare to ask them for help. What if they die suddenly?

Xiao Xuemu: "Okay, I'll just take the quilt to Li Zhibin. You can get whatever you need yourself."

Wei Wei: "Okay, go eat! The food will get cold if you wait."

After that, she checked Xiao Xuemu's house. Wei Wei found that the gaps in Xiao Xuemu's windows and doors were not sealed tightly. She heard Liu Aiying say that this would cause air leakage. Anyway, she and Jiang Qi sealed their doors with rags and willow catkins after Liu Aiying said that.
