Chapter 879 Temperatures Rise
Yan Xu was a connoisseur, and he kept exclaiming in amazement as he looked at these items.
The white pine tree, attracted by its stillness, drew me closer.
Looking at all this food, I was amazed.
Yan Xu took out one item, and he tasted it.
In this season, it's really comforting to be able to eat some pickled cucumbers that aren't too salty.
In particular, these cucumbers are crisp and refreshing, making them very delicious.
After Yan Xu turned the bundle to the bottom, Bai Song also finished eating.
He had already eaten quite a lot at lunch.
This time, I was completely bursting.
He sat crookedly on the kang (a heated brick bed), holding a piece of spicy dried meat and sighing.
"Brother Lu and Brother Qin are truly honest people!"
The gifts you brought are all so perfect!
Second brother, there's really not much spicy jerky here.
"How about we don't share this with the third brother and the others?"
Yan Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.
Anyway, we have plenty of meat at home lately, so it's fine if the third brother and the others eat less.
The two of them tacitly agreed to keep the food to themselves, secretly eating some every day.
It took several days to finish eating all the food.
......
Several days later, the sun slowly rose from the east.
In the courtyard, Lu Qingqing let out a long breath after finishing her boxing practice.
Breath forms clumps in the air and then quickly disperses.
She looked at the rising sun in the east and stretched her arms and legs.
"Xiao Lang, let's go to Dongshan again today."
Before Qin Lang could answer, Old Man Zhuang spoke first.
"Those guys are really shameless. It's only been a few days and they've already come to urge us three times."
They were all incredibly hungry, yet too stupid to hunt any prey.
"I'll have to send your two kids up the mountain..."
Lu Qingqing had gotten somewhat used to Old Man Zhuang's complaints.
In recent days, they have delivered meat to Bai Song four times.
It has been more than twenty days since the last pork delivery.
According to Bai Song, they had run out of meat several days ago.
If they don't get any meat, the brothers will starve to death.
She sounded so pitiful that Lu Qingqing felt embarrassed to refuse.
In fact, this was after several previous dumping incidents.
All the wild boar meat that hadn't been stir-fried in the space had already been sold out.
Lu Qingqing lost the motivation to sell the goods, which is why she kept putting it off and didn't go out.
Ever since Bai Song learned that the two of them had gone up the mountain without incident, he would come over every two weeks or so.
Every time I come here, I bring a lot of things in big bags and small bags.
The purpose was to urge the two of them to go hunting.
Old Zhuang's attitude has changed from initial hostility and wariness to current disdain and complaints.
After several interactions, Old Man Zhuang didn't say anything.
But his hostility towards Bai Song and his group was clearly not as strong anymore.
They even started to enjoy criticizing them.
In addition, Uncle Wu from the village also canceled his shift at the village entrance lookout tower at the end of last month.
I heard that Bai Song went to Uncle Wu's house.
It's unclear what the two talked about.
In short, as soon as the person left, Uncle Lao Wu sent someone to inform the villagers that the rotation was canceled.
At first, the villagers were somewhat wary.
More than half a month has passed now, and nothing has happened, so the villagers have all relaxed.
It hasn't snowed in Toyama Town for a long time, and even the temperature is showing signs of rising.
However, this recovery process is quite slow.
The temperature isn't as cold as it was a while ago.
But without heating the kang (a traditional heated bed) at night, it's absolutely unbearable.
Many families often go out to find food around noon when the temperature isn't so cold.
In fact, even after going out several times, it's difficult to find food even once.
Even so, everyone still went out to search.
Ultimately, it was because their family was running out of food, coal, and firewood.
If we don't go out soon, the whole family will die at home.
Even if you can't find food when you go out, it's good to bring back some firewood.
With this belief in mind, the villagers are traveling more and more frequently.
At noon, villagers can still run into each other on the road.
The last time they went out, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang ran into some villagers near the town.
The villagers all knew that the two had gone up the mountain to hunt, and they were very envious.
But after villagers went into the mountains to look for him, they almost didn't make it back.
And after hearing about the soldiers from the front street encountering a giant tiger while going into the mountains, the villagers immediately gave up the idea of going into the mountains to find food.
Each time we bump into each other, we just exchange greetings and then go back to doing our own thing.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing had already led Xiaobai out of the stable, while Qin Lang was carrying things onto the carriage.
Old Zhuang and Sun Yue skillfully helped the two prepare the meal.
A quarter of an hour later, the two drove the carriage out the door.
Along the way, we frequently encountered villagers who were wrapped up so that only their eyes were visible, carrying large baskets on their backs as they walked out.
People who come out to find food at this time are those who are truly struggling to make ends meet.
People who have been hungry for a long time will walk unsteadily and react more slowly.
The villager only realized what had happened after Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang's carriage had passed.
Watching the carriage speed away, he rolled his eyes blankly for a moment, then continued walking out of the village, leaning on his cane.
On the other side, when Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were almost at the front street, they planned to go and tell Bai Song and the others.
Otherwise, they might go to the courtyard again.
Old Zhuang will get angry when he sees them.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard on the front street, they ran into Chen Lao Er coming out.
When Chen Lao Er saw them drive out, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Lu, are you going up the mountain today?"
Upon seeing Lu Qingqing nod, he slapped his thigh in delight.
“That’s wonderful!
I was just about to go to the village to find you, which will save me a trip.
"Once we bring back the pheasant, I'll definitely make you two extra beggar's chickens!"
Lu Qingqing smiled and agreed, then turned and walked east.
Before they had gone far, they heard Chen Lao Er's excited shouts coming from the backyard.
"Boss, Brother Lu and the others are going up the mountain today, so we can have meat again tonight!"
Immediately following was a burst of cheers.
Over time, Lu Qingqing has become familiar with them.
You can even tell which few voices have a distinctive timbre among them.
The carriage quickly drove out of the village and sped eastward.
It hadn't snowed for a long time, so the two of them ran to Dongshan several more times.
Now, the road already has well-maintained lanes.
The carriage moved much less strenuously than before.
Lu Qingqing had Qin Lang drive, while she climbed into the car and then went directly into her spatial dimension.
After wandering around the space, I picked out the two male piglets from the pigpen that I wanted to keep for breeding.
They separated the thinner end and moved it out separately.
After observing for these past few days, it seems that the largest wild boar king has done a very good job in preserving its offspring.
These days, four more sows in the pigsty have successfully conceived piglets.
It is estimated that in another month or two, four more litters of piglets will be born.
Therefore, keeping only one young boar as a spare is sufficient.
After figuring it out, she moved the pig out.
The instant he landed, a knife plunged into the pig's neck.
