Chapter 126 Busy

After seeing Li Xingtang off, Yunxi went straight into the house, locked the courtyard gate, and headed to the backyard.

Yunxi felt it was a bit inappropriate to take out the meat today; it was just too fresh. If Li Xingtang thought about it even a little more, he would become suspicious.

So she decided to smoke the meat a lot. Since it was dark, she built a fire in the backyard, put some non-flammable materials on it, and set up a rack on both sides. She planned to use a long stick to hang the meat on the stick and let the smoke from below slowly smoke it.

Once she was sure the fire wouldn't spread outside after a night, Yunxi left the backyard and went straight to the front yard to boil some hot water for a bath. As for the food, she simply took it out of her spatial storage.

The next morning, Yunxi got up very early. The first thing she did was to go to the backyard to check on the smoked meat. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she got to the backyard, she would suddenly see a small animal leaping over the wall.

After glancing at the marks by the fire and then at the various kinds of meat hanging above, Yunxi guessed that it was probably some small wildcat or other small animal that came to steal the meat because of the smell.

There was a bonfire nearby, smoldering and burning, so the attempt wasn't successful. It seems the bonfire needs to be kept burning constantly, but that doesn't seem very safe. We should put some thorny branches on top of the meat to be on the safe side.

Before the loudspeakers outside went off, Yunxi grabbed a dagger and went down to the foot of the mountain to cut some thorny branches. When she returned to the courtyard, she heard the loudspeakers blaring.

I quickly placed the branches on top of the meat, then went to the kitchen to wash up. I took some food from my spatial storage to eat and fill my stomach.

Carrying a basket on his back, putting on gloves, and filling his water bottle with water infused with peach petals, he was ready to go to work in the fields.

As I was leaving, it suddenly occurred to me that I wondered if Li Xingtang would come over today.

Although I don't know if he will come, I already have a guess in my mind. I feel that he will come today, and not only today, but he may come for the rest of the busy farming season.

As Yunxi expected, Li Xingtang arrived on a bicycle after she had been working for more than an hour.

After arriving, he didn't say anything, but went straight to Yunxi to help her with her work. He didn't need to say anything; he seemed very self-motivated.

Yunxi simply greeted him without saying anything and focused on her work.

You'll get used to it eventually.

As for the glances from the side, they were merely teasing and ignored.

Knowing that no matter what she said, Li Xingtang would continue to help, she simply kept quiet and decided to cook him some delicious food after the work was finished, as that would be a fair way to treat him.

With someone helping her, Yunxi finished her work every day by lunchtime.

She prepared lunch for Li Xingtang, and then had the rest of the time to herself.

These past few days, she's been kicking Li Xingtang out after lunch, telling him to go home early.

With him here, it's a bit inconvenient to use the space to work.

The meat behind the house had been smoking for several days, but Li Xingtang never went to check on it, not even to the backyard.

I wanted to show him my strength so that I wouldn't be so reluctant to eat meat every day.

I didn't expect him to be so well-behaved that he hadn't noticed anything. Yunxi definitely wouldn't tell him on purpose, lest he think she was showing off.

Li Xingtang also knew that if he stayed here, it would be very bad for Yunxi's reputation, so he would just get a meal and leave each time.

Actually, he didn't want to freeload, but he just wanted to spend more time with Yunxi, and then he couldn't resist Yunxi's enthusiastic invitation, so he stayed.

After Li Xingtang left, Li Xue immediately put the sweet potatoes into her spatial storage and washed them clean with the river water stored there.

Then, using his mental energy, he crushed the dug-up sweet potatoes in the space, turned them into sweet potato pulp, and then released them from the space, put them in a wooden bucket, and began to wash the powder inside.

If Li Xingtang were at home, this kind of work would take him an entire afternoon to finish, but by himself, he could easily get it done in a single thought.

Even after finishing the chores at home, she could still go up the mountain to the wasteland she had cultivated.

Harvest all the scallions, ginger, garlic, and the sweet potatoes planted on the side.

The space can be stored and expanded in less than two minutes, and you can even dig up more medicinal herbs when you have free time.

Although I still have more than 10,000 yuan, I always feel it's not enough. If I get into university and go abroad in the future, I will definitely buy myself a house.

Buying a bigger house requires more money, so for a better life in the future, it's essential to make as much money as possible while you have the time.

After returning home, I cleaned all those things thoroughly and stored them all in the space.

These things are at least seasonal, but once they're placed in the space, you don't have to worry about them all year round.

Yunxi felt that her busy period had not been in vain. She made a total of one or two hundred catties of sweet potato starch and about fifty or sixty catties of vermicelli that could be eaten directly.

After 10 busy days, it's finally time to go back to school, and I don't have to work in the fields anymore.

Although she had help, her skin was so delicate that working in the fields and on the streets was really hard work for her.

I don't know if it's because I've been drinking water with peach petal extract a lot lately, but I feel like the peach fragrance on my body is stronger.

Previously, unless someone was within a meter of you, you might not be able to smell your body odor, but now you can smell the peach blossom scent from two meters away.

Of course, this was what Li Xingtang told her, after all, no one else would get too close to her, and Yunxi herself didn't want to get too close to anyone else either.

However, Yunxi realized from Li Xingtang's increasingly infatuated attitude that the peach blossom fragrance on her body had another use.

Although she felt that she could achieve her goals with her face alone, the peach blossom fragrance on her body was somewhat of an added bonus.

But no one dislikes becoming more and more perfect and beautiful, especially Yunxi, this little devil.

I wish I were as beautiful as a goddess, though I'm not quite that stunning, but I am still quite good-looking.
