Jiang Yan could imagine the excitement of the scene and asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow? Are you going to pick mountain products?"

Shen Xiaoxia shook her head. "No more picking. I've picked enough. Next, I plan to prepare firewood for the winter!"

Jiang Yan nodded secretly, then said, "Then I'll follow you tomorrow!"

Shen Xiaoxia said "Huh?" and looked at Jiang Yan, "You coming with us?"

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? No?"

Shen Xiaoxia laughed, "Sure! Why not? Maybe we can even get some free labor!"

Jiang Yan coughed lightly against his lips, then smiled and said, "So it's settled then?"

When they arrived at the entrance of the Youth House, Shen Xiaoxia asked, "Do you want to go in and say hello to everyone?"

Jiang Yan shook his head. "It's too late today. I won't bother you guys anymore. Let's talk about it tomorrow. What time will you guys go into the mountains tomorrow?"

The time is still uncertain. “I guess we’ll know after everyone wakes up and has eaten their fill!

Anyway, there's no rush to chop wood. We can discuss setting off when we've finished packing!"

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't come to the Youth Hostel tomorrow. I'll go straight to the mountain to find you after I finish my work."

Shen Xiaoxia thought it was all right, and said a few more words to Jiang Yan. After Jiang Yan went back, she also went back to the backyard.

Han Zhuxin knew that Shen Xiaoxia was going to ask the captain for leave today. When she saw her come back, she asked her, "How is it going? Did you get the leave?"

Shen Xiaoxia took out the key and opened the door. "He said he would think about it for two days and tell me the result in two days!"

Han Zhu was puzzled. "Why does it take two days to think about it? Can't I just ask for leave?"

There is no possibility for her to go home. She has no thoughts about that home at all. She has not had any contact with it in the past two years since she went to the countryside!

Although she was a little envious of Shen Xiaoxia's family's care and concern, her family was different from Shen Xiaoxia's family, and she didn't miss them!

Shen Xiaoxia sighed, "I don't know either, but the captain didn't refuse outright, so there should be a chance!"

Thinking of what Jiang Yan said, she asked Han Zhuxin, "What time do you want to go to the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow?"

Han Zhuxin has other plans for tomorrow. "I have to go to the county town tomorrow, so I won't go to the mountain. Do you want to go to the county town with me?"

She had to wait for news from the captain before going. "I won't go for now! I'll go after the news is confirmed!"

For dinner, Shen Xiaoxia made a tomato and pork pot and a dry pot chicken wings and spicy shrimp!

I was worried that the smell would be too strong if I made it outside, so I went to a space to make it.

The tomatoes in the tomato and meat stew become soft after stewing, releasing a lot of sweet and sour juice, which is just the right amount of rich.

The tenderloin is carefully marinated with egg white and sweet potato flour, making it tender, juicy and smooth in the mouth.

It not only retains the freshness and elasticity of the meat, but also fully absorbs the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes. The aroma of meat and the fruity aroma of tomatoes blend together to form a harmonious and wonderful complex taste.

While chewing, you can also taste the faint aroma of onion, ginger and garlic. These flavors subtly enrich the taste of the whole dish!

You can feel the unique and charming charm of this tomato and meat stew in every bite!

As for the dry pot chicken wings and spicy shrimp, Shen Xiaoxia could feel the rich and overbearing spicy aroma going straight into her nose while making it!

The chicken wings are fried until golden and crispy, and they make a crunchy sound when you bite them, and the spicy flavor instantly explodes in your mouth!

The chicken wings are tender and juicy inside, and the marinade has penetrated deeply into them, making every part full of a blend of salty, fragrant and spicy flavors!

The unique flavor of the spices is gradually released during chewing, bringing a layered taste experience. The numbness and spiciness intertwine and collide with each other on the tip of the tongue, stimulating the taste buds to continuously secrete saliva, making people unable to stop!

The sweetness of the shrimp meat forms a sharp contrast with the strong spicy seasoning. The sweetness and spiciness complement each other, which not only highlights the deliciousness of the shrimp meat itself, but also fully displays the hot and spicy passion of the chili!

Every bite of shrimp meat is filled with rich spicy flavor, and the slight numbing sensation brought by the peppercorns runs through the mouth like an electric current, further enhancing the richness of the taste!

Shen Xiaoxia also added some potato slices and lotus root slices to this dish!

After stir-frying, the potato slices become soft and glutinous, with a spicy and burnt aroma. The lotus root slices are crispy and delicious, absorbing the freshness of shrimp and chicken wings as well as the spicy flavor of the seasoning, making the overall taste more balanced and harmonious!

Shen Xiaoxia made a lot and couldn’t finish it in one meal, so she packed half of it and put it in the warehouse to eat later when she wanted to!

After eating, I cleaned up the kitchen, poked around in the space for a while, and after digesting the food, I went straight to wash up.

After washing up, he hesitated for a while before leaving the space and going to sleep on the kang!

After getting up in the morning, Shen Xiaoxia heated up a few buns and ate them. She had made these buns herself, with carrot and beef filling, and they were quite delicious!

After eating, I talked to Zhao Lingling and she went for a walk in the mountains first and would come to find everyone later!

She thought that she could go up the mountain to pick up some firewood and store it in the space!

When she got to the mountain, she suddenly had an idea and went to the place where she had met Jiang Yan several times before, but she didn't see anyone. Then she went to her previous secret base, but there was no one there either!

So I walked to the other side of the mountain, intending to pick up some firewood by myself first, and then come back here to meet up with everyone later!

At this time of year, there are still a lot of dead branches and tree trunks. Shen Xiaoxia took a machete and chopped and picked them up!

From time to time, observe whether there is anyone around. Although the probability of people appearing in this place at this time is not high, it is still better to be cautious!

If you come across very thick tree stumps, just store them directly in the space and deal with them slowly later!

She did not process the firewood she picked up in great detail, and collected them whole. She planned to process them later. Now she would ensure the quantity first, and consider the quality later!

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Xiaoxia went to the area where everyone often went. On the way, she stuffed half a basket of firewood into her backpack, all of which were packed!

Before they arrived, they ran into Jiang Yan walking upstairs. Shen Xiaoxia saw him and called out to him. Jiang Yan saw Shen Xiaoxia and quickly came over to him, "Why aren't you with everyone else?"

He thought Shen Xiaoxia would not go out so early, so he went to take care of his own business first.

After he went up the mountain, he searched for a while and saw He Tingyuan and the others. He was about to call them, but before he could say anything, Xie Yunheng saw him with his sharp eyes!

"Jiang Yan!"

After Xie Yunheng shouted, he waved hard at Jiang Yan, fearing that Jiang Yan couldn't see him.

Jiang Yan walked over and greeted everyone one by one. He Tingyuan asked him, "When did you come back?"

Jiang Yan replied, "I got back yesterday!"

While Jiang Yan was replying to He Tingyuan's words, he looked around but didn't see Shen Xiaoxia!

Seeing Jiang Yan's eyes darting around, Zhao Lingling suddenly realized that he was looking for Shen Xiaoxia. So, with a hint of smile on her lips, she jokingly said, "Are you looking for Xia Xia?"
