Jiang Baishu was unaware that Xu Wenwan had her eyes on him. He gathered his things and made his way back to Qingshan Team.
He had planned to use the ration tickets he had on his younger brother and sister over time, but now that he was leaving, they would be useless. He figured he might as well trade them for goods.
Dinner that evening was, of course, a feast.
There were pork ribs, pork belly, and two soup bones. Gu Jiaojiao didn't cook everything, just a portion of each.
That afternoon, Leng Yuan and Chen JianShe had gone up the mountain again. Leng Yuan had bagged two pheasants and brought back a basket full of medicinal herbs for her, all of which were needed to make herbal tea.
So in addition to braised pork belly and ribs, the dinner table also featured a roasted pheasant and a plate of scrambled eggs with chives. It was already a bountiful spread.
The next day, Gu Jiaojiao woke up early to prepare some white-flour flatbreads and make a few jars of meat sauce.
