After a heavy rain, it was sunny for a week.

The food is basically dried.

In the past few days, Gu Jiaojiao has been running up the mountain every day, and she is very enthusiastic about stockpiling food.

This week, the cellar of her house was almost full of piles.

Two days ago, Leng Yuan went to the county to send manuscripts, and Gu Jiaojiao asked him to see if there were any earthen pots and vats for sale.

Leng Yuan is also capable. I don't know where to buy it. No ticket is required, but the price is very expensive.

He bought two large vats with a capacity of two hundred catties, each for eight yuan, and spent sixteen.

There are also two large vats weighing more than 300 kilograms, each of which costs [-] yuan and costs [-] yuan.

The four-port cylinder cost 36.

There are also seven or eight crock pots ranging from forty to fifty catties to twenty or thirty catties.

A total of seventy was spent.

That's definitely a lot of money.

In order not to arouse suspicion.

Leng Yuan sent someone to send it over from the small path first, and it was covered with straw, so it couldn't be seen at all.

Those people got used to sending them in through the back door after dark, and left in the dark again at night.

Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise their house would be the talk of everyone after dinner.

Although these things are expensive, they are worth it.

With these things, Gu Jiaojiao took the mushrooms from the mountain, dried them in the sun, and made them into pickles.

She knew that miso was still made in the village, and she was going to make some.

Besides these, Gu Jiaojiao also pickled a big vat of sour bamboo shoots.

And capers.

The bamboo shoots are dug from the mountains.

Beans are grown on private plots.

Each person has two quotas of private land, and can grow their own vegetables.

Because many people do not have enough to eat, most villagers will grow some food on their own plots.

Corn, sweet potatoes, land, soybeans, etc. can be regarded as some harvests. In addition, some cabbage and radishes will be planted for winter pickles.

Leng Yuan didn't plant those.

Gu Jiaojiao decided to go to Aunt Zhao to buy some cabbage and radishes.

Early in the morning, when Gu Jiaojiao got up, Leng Yuan had already gone out.

His school started, and there was no bicycle at home, so Leng Yuan had to make an ox cart to go to the village commune at five o'clock in the morning.

Gu Jiaojiao was still asleep at that time, and the man was not willing to disturb her.

When I woke up in the morning, I found that the pot still smelled of food.

Leng Yuan has a good habit, as long as she wakes up early, she will prepare a meal and help her keep warm.

Gu Jiaojiao was very satisfied with this.

After eating and packing up, I went to Aunt Zhao's house.

The Qingshan Brigade is divided into the upper slope and the lower slope, each with more than 100 households. The entire brigade has nearly [-] households in total, which is considered a large village.

Aunt Zhao's family lives on the slope.

Gu Jiaojiao walked for half an hour before arriving at Aunt Zhao's house.

Mrs. Zhao was sitting in the yard washing clothes for a large family. When she saw Gu Jiaojiao coming, she was very happy and immediately took care of Gu Jiaojiao and sat down.

Gu Jiaojiao was not too polite, she sat on a stool in the yard, and said why she came: "Auntie, I don't grow cabbage and radishes in my private land, I want to pickle some sauerkraut, so I want to buy some from you."

Aunt Zhao heard the words, and immediately said: "What to buy, I will give you some when the time comes."

Gu Jiaojiao hurriedly refused: "Auntie, I want a lot. If you give it to me, you will have nothing to eat, and I will give it to someone else."

"I bought [-] catties of cabbage, [-] catties of carrots, and [-] catties of white radishes at the market price. Do you see any?"

Aunt Zhao is industrious and thrifty, and saves on weekdays.

This year she planted a lot of cabbages, and seeing that Gu Jiaojiao really wanted a lot, she agreed to sell them to her.

"Okay, I'll pack up the cabbage and radishes today, and I'll have Tie Zhu deliver them to you in the afternoon."

"But there are not so many white radishes and carrots, each weighing fifty catties."

She also wants to pickle some pickles to eat in winter.

Gu Jiaojiao had been mentally prepared for a long time, and said immediately: "Auntie, give me as much as you have, and for the rest, if you have a close aunt, you can introduce it to me."

Not long after Gu Jiaojiao went to the countryside, her reputation was bad, and everyone wanted to stay away from her.

After so long, the relationship with the Zhao family is okay.

Aunt Zhao responded directly.

"Okay, let me ask for you, and I will send all the iron pillars to you when the time comes."

The Zhao family also has a cart.

In the entire brigade, only Zhao's family, old Chen Tou's family, the village secretary's family, and the captain's family had carts.

After Gu Jiaojiao said something, she rested at Aunt Zhao's house for a while, and then went back.

Just came out of Aunt Zhao's house, and saw old Chen head driving an ox cart coming here from a distance.

Gu Jiaojiao was surprised.

On weekdays, the ox carts would only go to the county town when it was not busy, but now that the farming season is busy, many soybean harvesters are queuing up to wait for Lao Chen's cows to be pulled to the mill!

Ordinarily at this time, the ox carts would not go to the county seat.

Gu Jiaojiao was just surprised and was about to leave.

At this time, the bullock cart also arrived on the main road, just passing by Gu Jiaojiao.

From a distance of more than ten meters, Gu Jiaojiao clearly saw the person on the bullock cart. When she saw the appearance of that person, she immediately felt a sense of fate.

The village head's daughter, Xu Wenwan is back.
