A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling

We even dared to explore the deeper mountains beyond the mountainside, where we harvested various mountain products such as pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, mushrooms, and wild apricots.

Some people also took the opportunity to chop firewood or gather pine branches to start a fire.

The militia also keeps an eye on wild boar herds. Although their meat isn't as tasty as domestic pigs, they have the advantage of being able to reproduce a lot. In addition, wild boar infestations can damage crops and grains, so combating wild boars is one of the annual tasks of the Fengsheng Brigade militia.

On the one hand, it is to protect next year's harvest, so that wild boars that have been starving for a long time will come down and harm people during the spring plowing season. On the other hand, it is also to provide an extra meal, since it is good enough to have meat at this time. Who would complain about the taste?

Therefore, before slaughtering pigs for the Lunar New Year, wild game from the mountains was the main source of meat for the members of Fengsheng Brigade. Wild pheasants and rabbits were also common, and occasionally they could hunt roe deer and the like.

Because this was an activity organized by the brigade, the supplies were naturally distributed equally, and the team members would also help the militia search.

As for winter fishing and slaughtering pigs for the Lunar New Year, those are even more lively.

Fengsheng Brigade is nestled amidst mountains and water, with a stream flowing through it, teeming with small fish, shrimp, and loaches. The brigade members usually use this stream for washing clothes, but at this time of year, it's filled with children catching loaches and crayfish. Their parents don't ask for much; they just want to add a dish to their meal.

At the foot of Langqing Mountain, on the outskirts of the brigade, adjacent to Fengfu Brigade, lies a tributary of the Nenjiang River. This tributary is quite large and merges with two smaller rivers, making it rich in fishery resources.

Similar to the winter fishing in Jilin Province, a winter fishing event is organized here every year after the river freezes over, from the end of the Gregorian calendar to before the Spring Festival. Each brigade sets its own fishing time according to its upstream and downstream location, and the catch can reach hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fish.

Fengsheng Brigade has a superior geographical location, so there is no need to worry about other brigades intercepting the fish and leaving you empty-handed.

As for slaughtering the pig for the New Year, at this time the pig was the collective property of the brigade. A good brigade could raise twenty or thirty pigs a year, while a less wealthy brigade would raise a few. At the end of the year, some brigades would choose to sell the pig and distribute the money to the members; other brigades would slaughter the pig and distribute the meat to the members.

Fengsheng Brigade has had a bumper harvest this year, so it's highly likely that all the pigs will be kept and slaughtered by the brigade's butchers, then distributed according to work points, so that the team members can all have a prosperous New Year.

So, hibernating in Northeast China isn't as boring as you might imagine. Besides food and drinks, there are ice lanterns, snow slides, dog sleds, and other activities that can keep you entertained for a long time.

……

The second opportunity to go up the mountain came sooner than expected. After all, although the heavy rain caused some damage to many places, in a way, it was also a gift from God to mankind.

Those who frequently pick mushrooms know when mushrooms are most abundant, which is naturally in the woods after rain.

Autumn rains knock down most of the leaves, piling them up layer by layer on the ground, providing sufficient temperature and humidity for the fungi in the soil.

After the rain stopped, one by one they eagerly emerged from the soil, and then... fell into the hands of Yun Shu and the others.

The four girls who went mushroom picking on the mountain had a bountiful harvest; they didn't even want the small mushrooms. They found elm yellow mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, and trumpet-shaped mushrooms. Yun Shu was glad she hadn't forgotten her memories of herding ducks in the countryside with a small basket, so she still remembered which mushrooms were edible.

There was no need to go up; the supplies at the foot of the mountain were plentiful enough. The girls, like squirrels hoarding food for winter, came carrying baskets and dragged sacks.

Yun Shu took the opportunity to acquire two treasure locations and also robbed a squirrel of its stored pine nuts.

Of course, she didn't rob too much, nor did she rob them in front of them, as that would easily anger them. However, it's also true that the squirrel brothers don't have very good memories; they're hoarders, but they don't just store food in one tree hole.

They often forget where one of their granaries is, and then the various nuts inside will slowly take root and sprout. This is why, even though some people used to cut down these forests without planting anything, they never saw a decrease in the number of trees.

These squirrels really did a great job.

However, these nuts that could have taken root and sprouted have now benefited Yun Shu, who has a god-like perspective and has irrationally marked them on the map.

Looking at the plump pine nuts and chestnuts in her hand, Yun Shu nodded in admiration.

As expected of Squirrel Choice, I love it! I'll definitely come back next time!

Before it got dark, Yun Shu and the others delivered their harvest home, then carried their sacks up the mountain. Along the paths, they encountered many elderly women carrying baskets, as well as a group of dirty little soldiers who were shouting that they wanted to pick some wild mulberries for Youyou to eat.

Solanum nigrum, scientifically known as black nightshade, is poisonous before it matures. After ripening, the fruit turns blackish-purple, has a sweet and sour taste, and is one of the indispensable treasures of childhood for children in Northeast China.

Hearing the children's words, Yun Shu and the others exchanged glances and quickened their pace, all wanting to be the first to grab the pile of treasures they had just discovered.

There's nothing we can do; they're just kids after all.

She picked a bunch of yogurt fruit, rinsed it in the crystal-clear stream, wiped it with a handkerchief, and then put it in her mouth. The sweet, sour, and slightly cool taste made Yun Shu shiver involuntarily, followed by a brightening of her eyes.

Then, after quickly finishing the bunch in her hand, she hurriedly picked all the ripe yogurt fruits from the clump in front of her. Just then, two children suddenly appeared beside her, sucking their fingers and with mud stains on their faces, staring longingly at the yogurt fruits in Yun Shu's hand.

Yun Shu's heart tightened. Looking at the large, plump fruits in her hand, she gritted her teeth and stuffed a bunch into each of their hands before quickly covering her small basket.

"No, no, you'll have to look elsewhere!"

The children naively believed it and stopped arguing. After regretfully finishing their yogurt, they turned around and went to raid other places.

Yun Shu sighed quietly, while Lin Jingshu and the others who had witnessed the whole scene laughed.

After collecting mountain produce for several days in a row, Yun Shu's little house was almost overflowing. She had no choice but to ask Wang the carpenter to buy two more drying racks and bamboo trays for drying herbs, which finally allowed her to spread out the nuts and mushrooms to dry.

The area around Lianjiang Xiucheng and the other two's houses was requisitioned. There was no way to dry them as fast as Yun Shu and the others could. Eventually, when there was really no more room at the educated youth settlement, Yun Shu and the others slowly stopped going into the mountains to pick mushrooms, thinking that they would continue after this batch was dried and stored.

There's still a whole autumn left; she can save up so much.
