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

That's true. After all, adults at that time didn't care much about this stuff. There wasn't much meat in it, and it was a waste of oil to cook. The key point is that it wouldn't taste good without oil.

In other words, children like to grab it and roast it over a fire to eat. The method is so crude and simple that it can be described as returning to the basics. It is neither cleaned carefully nor seasoned, so it is not tasty at all and is so fishy that people will fall over.

The only appealing aspect is that it has meat, providing a treat. For children in the countryside, meat is scarce, and climbing trees to steal birds' nests and catching fish in rivers according to the seasons are instincts they've long since developed. Catching crayfish is no different from catching grasshoppers to roast and eat.

Moreover, in Northeast China, crayfish, loach, eel, and frog are all more popular than crayfish. The kids themselves feel it's a great deal to exchange a White Rabbit milk candy, which is sometimes hard to come by even during the Lunar New Year, or two fruit candies, for a handful of crayfish that can be caught in the ditches in autumn.

Therefore, Yun Shu nodded in agreement. The price was reasonable, and she shouldn't have inflated prices, since this wasn't a matter of personal connections.

"Hmm, that makes sense. I'll go and exchange two more buckets tomorrow."

“I’ll go with you, and we can see if there’s anything else good to exchange! Grandpa Zhang said that autumn and winter are the seasons to fatten up.”

"Otherwise, it's so cold in winter, you can't stand it without a little bit of fat on your body." After finishing the last bite of rice, Lin Jingshu casually grabbed a scallion and stuffed it into her mouth to cleanse her palate, and the strong woman quickly followed up with her statement.

Lin Jingshu, who was determined to fatten up her best friend, was a little serious. After all, she was only seventeen years old and would only be eighteen after the new year. Her best friend was a year younger than her. In the 21st century, the two of them should be high school graduates whose treatment was comparable to that of national treasures like giant pandas.

So, not only are they growing, but they're also eating the most.

But resources were scarce in the countryside. Lin Jingshu was able to live better than people in the city because she had a cheat code, and she could have a culinary treat every now and then. But what about her best friend? She had nothing and kept giving Lin Jingshu money!

Moved by her best friend's actions, unaware that her friend was also a transmigrator with a cheat-like ability, Lin Jingshu was so touched that she even cried several times in the dead of night, hiding under the covers.

Knowing that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in less than two years, Lin Jingshu valued her and her best friend's physical condition. She always tried her best to find opportunities to supplement their nutrition. Bartering was taken to the extreme by her. Apart from her big customer Aunt Zhou, there were very few families around the educated youth settlement who hadn't bartered with her. Even Jiang Xiucheng and the other two benefited a lot from it.

So much so that even though they've been in the countryside since the start of the most tiring autumn harvest, the five of them haven't lost any weight. On the contrary, they're all radiant, especially Pei Wenyuan, who has visibly gained two pounds.

As for whether Comrade Lin Jingshu has ever considered controlling her figure or losing weight for beauty, Comrade Lin Jingshu can only answer you with one sentence: 'What weight loss? Absolutely not! Where would I find the time to think about losing weight! I'm so hungry I'm talking nonsense!'

The main reason was that Comrade Lin Jingshu had also observed that both she and Yun Shu seemed to have a naturally slim physique. Despite not having any dietary restrictions during their long time in the countryside, they hadn't gained any weight; at most, their faces had become even more rosy and delicate. Therefore, Comrade Lin Jingshu felt even less guilty about eating. The thing she most desired in her past life, she had already obtained in this one!

……

After finishing their meal and clearing away the dishes, Yun Shu took out her bicycle and let Lin Jing Shu practice.

It was almost dark by now, and the lights at the educated youth settlement were dim, making the courtyard pitch black and severely limiting visibility. But Comrade Lin Jingshu was still very happy; after a short while of wobbling, she was riding quite naturally.

Yun Shu took advantage of the situation in the middle of the courtyard: "Practice more, and when Jingjing learns how to carry people, you can ride your bike and take me to the county town!"

"OK, no problem!"

Yun Shu felt a little guilty because her best friend was so easy to talk to, and she quickly added that her pampered friend was too easy to talk to.

“Then I’ll learn too. Once I learn how to carry people, we can take turns riding, it’ll save us energy!”

"Okay!"

After riding the bicycle for a while and having had her fill, Lin Jingshu slowly learned to brake and stop herself.

In this respect, she is still better than Yun Shu. So far, she only knows how to use the foot brake. It's not that there are no brakes on the car, but she just does it subconsciously.

It seems she really needs to practice more, otherwise her shoes will wear out sooner or later.

-

It was completely dark when the mosquitoes began to swarm in, making it inappropriate to stay in the yard any longer.

So the group discussed tomorrow's arrangements for a few more minutes, and then went back to their rooms.

After turning on the light, parking her bicycle, Yun Shu said goodnight to her best friend and closed the door.

After drawing the curtains tightly and confirming that the door was locked securely, Yun Shu changed into her pajamas, lit a smokeless mosquito coil, and crawled into bed.

Going to bed too early now, even though this is the normal routine in the countryside, it is obviously unrealistic to expect Yun Shu to go to bed at six or seven o'clock.

Fortunately, Yun Shu had her own way of passing the time. She would enter her space to organize and store her supplies. The supplies she checked in every day far exceeded her personal capacity, and over time, they accumulated to a considerable sum.

Twenty catties of wheat flour, three barrels of oil weighing one catty each, as well as white sugar, brown sugar, five pig trotters, two pork hocks, a rack of spare ribs, a piece of beef, and two three-lined carp...

Looking at the supplies in the storage compartment, Yun Shu let out a happy sigh. Fortunately, the villa had a kitchen and cooking utensils. With nothing to do, Yun Shu simply took the tablet from the villa and started watching dramas while cooking.

Anyway, the food won't get cold if it's cooked and kept in the space, so it will always be fresh and hot whenever she wants to eat it.

After watching two episodes of a TV series, Yun Shu used a pressure cooker to stew a pork knuckle and two pig's trotters. She couldn't eat the pork knuckle yet, but still couldn't resist and ate the two soft, tender, and incredibly flavorful pig's trotters.

Then I managed to stretch out some space and did various light exercises on the kang (heated brick bed) to aid digestion, working up a sweat. By the time I ran back into the space to take a shower, change my clothes, and crawl back into bed, it was already past ten o'clock.

Lying in bed, Yun Shu couldn't help but let her pathetic tears soak her pillowcase. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, vowing that she would never be greedy again next time! She had eaten too much for dinner, and this midnight snack was simply not going to be digested (*?????).

After tossing and turning for another half hour, Yun Shu finally fell asleep. She didn't sleep well that night, so much so that she felt listless when she woke up the next morning.

Yun Shu's tablemates stared at her with concern and curiosity. It was Lin Jingshu's handmade garlic eggplant that awakened Yun Shu's taste buds. After a bowl of hot porridge, the comfortable feeling revitalized Yun Shu.

"It's nothing, I just ate too much last night and didn't sleep well because I was too full..."

"..."
