Eating melons

After dinner, it's time to prepare these vegetables for kimchi. These things are also easy to clean. The main thing is to cut the stems of the peppers and remove the stems of the cowpeas. As for the cucumbers, there is no need to do anything, just wash them clean. After that, just rinse them and they will be ready in no time.

Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu couldn't help much, but it was inappropriate for them to just stand there and watch, so Li Zhibin washed the dishes and Xiao Xuemu filled the water bottles for them.

Wei Wei looked at Xiao Xuemu carrying water and suddenly thought of the pump-type well in the captain's house.

Wei Wei: "Jiang Qi, how much does it cost to dig a well like the one at the captain's house?"

Jiang Qi: "I don't know, it shouldn't be very expensive! But having a well like that is indeed much more convenient. The only problem is that with so many people here, some people will definitely disagree. If a few of us dig a well, it will be hard to refuse them when they come to draw water.

Digging a well yourself and having to queue up to draw water is frustrating. However, if we dig a well like that, it would be much more convenient for us to draw water. It's definitely worth considering, but the autumn harvest is almost here, so even if we dig a well, it would have to be after that."

Wei Wei: "Indeed, we are a bit far from the toilet at the Youth League Institute. It's okay now, but in the winter, if we have to go so far to use the toilet at night, it would be too embarrassing!

And that toilet is dirty and smelly. Can we dig a toilet like the ones in the city, with the pit farther away and flushed with water?

But if we dig it, will they also come here to use the restroom? If too many people come, it will be very dirty and annoying. It’s not right to do it, and it’s not right not to do it.”

Jiang Qi also thought of the toilet and couldn't help but frowned. "It's something we can consider. Let's ask them when we have time! We can also ask about the well."

Wei Wei: "Okay, this is the last pepper stem. Let's cut it and we're done! Then what? What do we do next?"

Jiang Qi: "Next, wash these and set them aside to dry. Didn't I just tell you to boil a lot of water and set it aside? Also, put the salt in there. Once it cools down, put it in the jar. Oh, did you wash the jar before?"

Wei Wei: "I washed it clean right after I bought it."

Jiang Qi: "Then wait until tomorrow morning, when the moisture on these vegetables has dried up, put them in the jar.

Add the appropriate amount of chili segments and Sichuan peppercorns, then add boiled water, making sure the water covers the vegetables, and seal it tightly.

Wei Wei: "Is that all?"

Jiang Qi: "Yeah! That's it. If you can get some white wine, you can add some in moderation. And make sure you add enough salt!"

Wei Wei: "Don't worry, I know."

When everything was almost ready, Wei Wei took the dishes back.

She took a shower and dressed as usual. As soon as she lay down on the bed, Wei Wei felt something was wrong. Her kang was getting hot.

It must be because I burned too much fire tonight. I cooked rice and stewed duck soup, and then boiled water, so the stove was never turned off.

Now this kang is completely unsuitable for sleeping. Lying on it feels like a stove.

After lying on the kang for a while, she couldn't fall asleep at all and was showing signs of sweating. Wei Wei immediately picked up the quilt and pillow, and knocked on Jiang Qi's door with a flashlight.

Wei Wei: "Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi, open the door, help is needed, help is needed."

Jiang Qi quickly opened the door when he heard Wei Wei's voice. He was a little surprised to see her standing outside with a pillow and quilt in her arms. "What's wrong with you? What's going on?"

Wei Wei: "Please take me in. The two stoves have been burning all night, and now the kang is scorching hot. I can't sleep at all. The room is also stuffy and stuffy, like a furnace."

Jiang Qi also thought of Wei Wei who was steaming rice and making soup tonight, and then boiling water. The kettle was so small, and she boiled four kettles of water tonight, so the fire really never stopped.

Jiang Qi: "Come in! It seems that there are too many stoves, which is not so good in the summer! However, it should be warm in the winter."

Wei Wei: "That's too hot."

The two of them also slept next to each other in the Youth League Institute, and now they are used to it. There is no problem for two people to sleep on the kang.

Plus, we were particularly tired today, and neither of us snored or grinded our teeth, so we fell asleep as soon as we lay down on the bed.

The next morning, they woke up when they heard the noise outside. Not wanting to get up, they started chatting directly on the bed.

Jiang Qi: "Let's have breakfast here this morning! I have a lot of sweet potato noodles. Shall we have some for breakfast?"

Wei Wei: "I have two bottles of hot and sour hot sauce. Would you like some?"

Jiang Qi perked up when he heard this. "Yes, and a fried egg. We'll have hot and sour noodles for breakfast this morning."

Wei Wei: "Okay, I'll take the quilt back first. I'll go get the hot sauce. I have plenty of sweet potato noodles."

Jiang Qi: "Forget about the noodles! I have some here, but you can take a little more chili sauce and leave some for me."

Wei Wei: "I have two bottles left. I'll bring one over for you."

Jiang Qi was delighted to hear this. She had no choice but to eat spicy food. There were very few particularly spicy peppers here. "Thank you, Weiwei."

The two of them hesitated for a while before crawling out of the bed.

Wu Mei and Liu Jiaojiao were still a little surprised to see Wei Wei coming out of Jiang Qi's room holding a pillow and quilt.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Did you two have a long conversation last night? When I heard your voice last night, I thought something had happened. I didn't expect you two to have a long conversation all night long."

Wei Wei: "No~ Last night, the two stoves were burning too fiercely. The kang was scorching hot. I couldn't fall asleep on it. The room felt like a furnace, so I came to sleep at Jiang Qi's place."

Liu Jiaojiao: "What did you do last night to make the fire burn so fiercely?"

Wei Wei: "I cook on the big stove and boil water on the small stove. I boil four pots of water on the small stove to make kimchi and a pot of soup."

Liu Jiaojiao: "No wonder, how could you not be hot if you keep burning like that?"

After chatting about two things, Wei Wei went back to the room, made the bed, folded the quilt, washed up, and then found the two bottles of hot sauce from the system backpack, took one bottle and went to find Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was overjoyed when she saw the bottle of hot sauce. Whenever Wei Wei saw her like this, she felt that in her previous life, she was either from Hunan Province or from Sichuan and Chongqing, and then traveled to Shanghai where people don’t eat spicy food very much, and finally came to Northeast China where people can’t eat spicy food even more. As a result, her eyes light up when she sees hot sauce now.

I have to say that Jiang Qi’s cooking skills are really good. This hot and sour noodles tastes much better than what she made.

After eating and drinking, I just want to lie down, but I can't, I have to go to work. Sigh! Before I traveled through time, I had to work 996 hours a day, and after traveling through time, it's even worse, I have no rest for a whole day.

Not long after I got home in the afternoon, Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guozhu came over, each pulling a cart of firewood.

The Zhang family is quite honest and the quality of the firewood is quite good.

Zhang Guodong: "Wei Zhiqing, my father said that two packages have arrived for you and he wants you to go to the main force to pick them up."

Wei Wei: "Okay, I'll be there in a minute, thank you."

Yesterday I was still thinking that the package would arrive soon, but I didn’t expect it to arrive today.

The two packages were quite large and needed a cart to push them back.

However, Xiao Xuemu, one of the educated youth, has a cart. It should be no problem to borrow his.

When Wei Wei arrived at Xiao Xuemu's door, she was shocked by the huge basket of duck eggs on his table. It was really a full basket.

Xiao Xuemu also saw Wei Wei, "Wei Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Wei: "Oh! I came to borrow your cart. My package has arrived, and it's not easy for me to carry it with my hands."

Xiao Xuemu: "It's right there, just push it."

Wei Wei: "Xiao Zhiqing, are these duck eggs? No, they should be wild duck eggs!"

Xiao Xuemu: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wei Wei: "Excuse me, are you selling it?"

Xiao Xuemu raised his eyebrows, "You want to sell it?"

He couldn't finish it anyway. If he didn't finish it, he would find a way to sell it on the black market. He couldn't let it go bad. It was all money.

When Wei Wei heard about selling, her eyes lit up. "I'll be back soon. Keep them for me! I'll take as many as you can."

These are wild duck eggs! That’s a lot of money. If I sell them, I can definitely get three or five yuan each. I’m going to get rich, I’m going to get rich.

After saying that, she pushed the cart and walked away quickly. She wanted to buy duck eggs first, but she couldn't. The office at the brigade was about to close, so she had to get the package back first.

Wei Wei felt that she had never been so quick before. She ran quickly to the brigade office, picked up the package, and pushed it back without stopping.

When he got home, he threw the package on the kang, took the money, and pushed the cart to Xiao Xuemu.

Xiao Xuemu just found her actions funny.

Wei Wei: "Xiao Zhiqing, I'm here, how much do you have?"

Xiao Xuemu: "Here are fifty of them. I won't charge you any difference. They're eight cents each."

Wei Wei took out four dollars and handed it to Xiao Xuemu without thinking.

Xiao Xuemu: "You don't want to count?"

Wei Wei: "No, I believe you. I took the basket too. I have a similar basket. We all bought it together, so they're all pretty much the same. Can I give that basket to you? I'm too lazy to take the things in this basket."

Xiao Xuemu: "Okay."

Wei Wei: "Thank you. By the way, I wonder if Xiao Zhiqing would mind others knowing that you have duck eggs for sale."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuemu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you going to tell this to?"

Wei Wei: "Jiang Qi, she must like it very much."

Xiao Xuemu: "You two get along pretty well. Okay, but you can only tell her. However, there won't be any in the next two days. It will be in two days."

Wei Wei: "Okay, don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

After saying that, he took the basket covered with cloth by Xiao Xuemu and hurried home, put the duck eggs away, and then handed his basket and cloth to him.

When she got home, she immediately closed the door and saw the wild duck eggs. Her package was no longer important and she immediately took out two and scanned them.

[I have scanned two wild duck eggs, 5 yuan each, are you selling them?]

When Wei Wei saw the price of five yuan each, her eyes lit up and she clicked yes directly, and she got ten yuan in one go.

She was in no mood to open the package now, as she knew what was inside anyway.

When I saw the vegetables in the basket next to me, I remembered that I hadn’t made any kimchi yet, so I immediately checked the price of the devil pepper on the system.

Seeing the price, Wei Wei took a breath. Fifty yuan per pound. Fortunately, she bought so many wild duck eggs today, otherwise she really wouldn't be willing to buy them.

Even though I had duck eggs, it still hurt to buy this, so I just bought a pound. After I bought it, I realized why she bought so much?

In fact, just buy a few. She can't eat such spicy food, so she can only leave it there to gather dust. But what else can she do since she has already bought it?

According to Jiang Qi, first place the vegetables in the jar, then pour in cold salt and boiling water.

Then add a lot of chili segments and Sichuan peppercorns. Finally, after thinking about it, I cut two Death Devil peppers with scissors and put them in the cowpea jar. I didn’t dare put too many because they were dry, so I only put two and didn’t put the others.

I put the package on the shelf of the grocery store and saw that many of the vegetables on the ground were about to wilt, so I simply sold them all and made another profit.

She was too lazy to cook dinner, so she simply locked the door, made two packets of instant noodles, and put the packaging in her system backpack to burn when she started the fire tomorrow morning.
