Eating melons

It took them two full days to finish cutting this large field of sweet potato vines. When the last one was cut, they both breathed a sigh of relief. This seemingly endless field was finally cut.

However, it was too early for the two of them to relax. The sweet potato vines had been harvested, but the sweet potatoes had not yet been harvested!

So the two of them started picking sweet potatoes again. After picking potatoes, they picked sweet potatoes. They could never finish the work.

Wei Wei: "I have a headache. I don't know what to eat every day. Today I want to eat rice. I also want to eat meat. I eat corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes every day and I am about to vomit. Woo woo woo."

Jiang Qi also wanted to eat meat, but he had to hold it in. "Rice is fine, but meat is not. I think the cabbage looks edible. Do you want to try the big rice buns here?"

Wei Wei: "Big lunch box? Sure, I'll go buy some groceries."

Jiang Qi: "Alright! With that little money you have, save it! I'll get the things I need out first, you wash them and steam them, and I'll go buy some."

Wei Wei: "Thank you, Qiqi. I love you. Here's a refill."

After saying that, he made a heart shape with his hands.

Seeing Wei Wei like this, Jiang Qi shuddered. "Stop, I'm getting goosebumps. It's okay to use the reduplication of your name. After all, there's no difference between Wei Wei and Wei Wei. But forget about mine. Don't bother me. I can't handle it."

After that, he quickly found a few eggplants, potatoes, a handful of cilantro, and some green onions. "Come, wash all these. Also, wash some rice to steam, and buy some peanuts. I'll be back soon after I buy the vegetables."

Wei Wei rolled up her sleeves and started to fetch water. "Okay."

Jiang Qi came to the captain's house with a bowl and a basket, "Auntie, are you home?"

Liu Aiying: "I'm here! Jiang Zhiqing, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Qi: "Aunt, I came to buy some vegetables and sauce from you. Is your cabbage ready to eat?"

Liu Aiying: "You guys are going to make big rice dumplings! The cabbages are ripe, go pick them yourself! Give me this bowl! I'll fill it with sauce for you."

Jiang Qi: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

She was also familiar with the Zhang family's vegetable garden, so she went straight to the vegetable garden and picked a lot of cucumbers, beans, peppers, tomatoes and eggplants, and also picked a lot of peppers.

The Zhang family hasn’t started drying the vegetables yet, so there are still a lot of vegetables in the garden.

Now Jiang Qi would buy extra groceries every time, and let Wei Wei sell all the leftovers to her system, although she didn't know what Wei Wei's system was specifically, nor did she know what the rules were.

But it didn't stop her from stocking up for Wei Wei every time she went out shopping, and she wouldn't ask Wei Wei about the rules. She just wanted Wei Wei to share some goods with her. There was no other way. There were too few things in this era, and there were many things that she couldn't adapt to.

As for the money for buying things, she tried her best to subsidize Wei Wei with some of the money she used in real life, and also bought more goods for her.

When I thought it was almost done, I paid and took the bowl of sauce back home.

Wei Wei: "I'm back. I've already steamed it here. I also bought some peanuts and fried some salty peanuts. They're on the kang table."

Jiang Qi: "Okay, I want salty peanuts. I need to steam them with some egg sauce. You wash the cabbage leaves.

Wei Wei: "Okay, is this that simple?"

Jiang Qi: "Well, just put these things together later."

Wei Wei thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just eat this for lunch these few days? It's easy to make."

Jiang Qi: "That's fine."

After the dishes were steamed and we were about to eat, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu came back.

Li Zhibin: "Oh, we're having lunch today! I know how to do that. I'll help."

Jiang Qi also thought it was too hot, "Okay, here you go."

Li Zhibin: "By the way, we have a chicken over there. Tomorrow at noon, you guys boil some water and I'll come back and take care of it. We'll have chicken for dinner tomorrow night."

Jiang Qi: "Okay."

It just so happened that they hadn't eaten meat for a long time. It's not that they didn't have meat. They and Li Zhibin both had a lot of meat, but they couldn't eat it every day.

Some time ago, Li Zhibin and his friends killed a rabbit, and instead of finishing it in one meal, they ate it in two.

Jiang Qi and Wei Wei felt embarrassed to eat their meat often, so Wei Wei bought a piece of bacon and they ate it the next day.

Unexpectedly, after eating bacon at noon, someone came to ask them in the afternoon, asking them why they ate meat every meal and whether they knew how to live.

They didn't expect that these people had such good noses. The four of them were so scared that they didn't dare to eat meat for more than a week.

A few people were afraid to eat meat, so they could only cook with animal oil. After all, vegetables taste better when cooked with lard. As a result, someone came to ask them the next day if they cooked with animal oil for every meal because it was so delicious.

The four of them were convinced. Are all these people’s noses so sensitive?

So Jiang Qi quickly switched to rapeseed oil, and now he kept the doors and windows tightly closed when cooking.

Wei Wei: "When you kill the chicken, stay away from people so that no one sees you."

Li Zhibin: “Yes, I know.”

Jiang Qi: "This time I'll make a white-cut chicken and serve it as a cold salad. I want to see how they can still smell it."

Wei Wei felt tired when talking about this: "How come their noses are so sensitive? It feels like they are hiding under the window outside and eavesdropping.

Jiang Qi: "I've been eating vegetables every day these past few days, and haven't seen any meat at all. I'm almost going crazy with greed. Isn't it said that every household eats something good to nourish themselves during the autumn harvest? Why don't they keep an eye on them, but instead keep an eye on us?"

Li Zhibin: "Because their nutrition is different from ours, they eat an egg every day and it's a great way to nourish themselves, unlike us who eat a lot of meat and fish."

Speaking of Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu, I really didn't expect that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi actually have some skills.

Originally, they thought about sharing a meal because they saw that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were not the kind of people who would be petty and take advantage of others. Otherwise, even if Jiang Qi's cooking skills were good, they would not agree to share a meal. After all, they had a lot of food, but they didn't want others to take advantage of them.

Knowing that Jiang Qi and Wei Wei were decent people, the two of them didn't mind Wei Wei and the other taking advantage of them, so they would bring out chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits every now and then. To be precise, Xiao Xuemu "buyed" them, Li Zhibin cleaned them, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi fried them, and then the four of them ate together.

But Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu did not expect that every time they brought meat dishes, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi would also cook meat dishes the next day. Although they were all preserved vegetables, they were also meat, which was obviously their private collection.

That's why Xiao Xuemu would bring back meat every now and then. In order to avoid suspicion, the meat he brought back included not only poultry but also wild meat. Sometimes he would ask Uncle Wang to buy more pork, and they would take turns.

Although there were quite a few pigs in his space, he didn't have time to kill them during this period.

At this time, Xiao Xuemu didn't know that his true identity had been almost exposed by Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

The four of them had such good food that they were targeted and now they can only eat vegetables every day.

Talking about these four people makes me speechless and depressed. If they had nothing, this kind of life would be fine, but unfortunately, they have everything except eating. This is infuriating.

In order to ensure that they would have the energy to keep up with the autumn harvest, Jiang Qi simply arranged an egg for each person at every meal. Fortunately, there was Xiao Xuemu, a big egg seller, who was able to supply the goods. Otherwise, if they all went to the team to buy, they would be beaten to death.

After all, their egg consumption is quite high. Wei Wei is worried about this. She wonders if eating eggs like this every day will cause any health problems.

As soon as she came back at noon the next day, Wei Wei went back to Li Zhibin's house and boiled a large pot of water. During breakfast in the morning, Li Zhibin gave the key to the house to Jiang Qi.

After dinner, Li Zhibin went back to kill a chicken and burned all the chicken feathers in the stove.

After it was processed, he put it in a basket and gave it to Jiang Qi. When Jiang Qi saw the chicken, he didn't even take a lunch break. He cooked the chicken directly, put it at home to dry, and came back to tear it in the afternoon.

When they returned home in the afternoon, Wei Wei started cooking and Jiang Qi started tearing the chicken.

Wei Wei: "Do you want me to buy the ingredients for you and make the sauce yourself, or do you want me to buy it ready-made?"

Jiang Qi: "Just buy ready-made ones! The aroma will spread out by the time you make it yourself, and then they'll start asking questions."

Wei Wei: "Okay."

Jiang Qi: "Save these chicken bones. Make soup tonight and use them as noodles tomorrow morning."

Wei Wei: “Okay.”

During this period, the two of them went to the county town during the holiday. They smuggled in two small stoves that were available at that time, which could be used to make soup.

This way, even if you keep burning all night, the kang will not be burned.
