SIAS Chapter 49.2

While he was processing the chicken, Yi Qingqing gave him a brief overview of the process of making smoked bacon.

This incident also reminded her that she could build a small shed to smoke some bacon. Bacon and fresh meat had completely different flavors. The most important thing was that it would be easier to send some of the bacon back home.

Ever since she went to the countryside, she had been thinking about sending something back home to reassure her mother and to show her filial piety to her parents.

It was hard to say where the money came from if she sent money. If she sent it rashly, she was afraid that her mother would think she had done something bad outside.

So, she could only send other things.

When sending things, food and clothing were naturally the hard currency.

But most of her fabrics were prepared by her mother. Besides, she had no other way to get fabrics.

In fact, most of the fabrics she got by signing in at Nanping County were still unused. She had thought before whether to cut some of the fabrics and send them back home when she went to the county this time.

But the fabrics were light green and it was not suitable for her parents to use. She was afraid that Liu Meili would get a bargain in the end, so she gave up the idea.

So, the only thing she could do was to think of something about food.

She originally thought that after a few months, when the mountain products were ripe, she would send some back, or when the autumn harvest came, she would send some food back under the pretext of dividing the grains.

Now she realized that she could also make some bacon or canned food which was easy to store and send it home, which would not only make her mother no longer worry about her being hungry in the countryside, but it also make some to satisfy her appetite.

Thinking of this, Yi Qingqing paid more attention to the practice of hunting skills, and some tools had to be gradually prepared.

“Comrade Yun, are you good at carpentry? Can I ask you to help me make something?”

Yun Guyuan thought, this girl finally knew to ask him for help. He showed so many things before, wasn’t it for this?

“What do you want to do?”

“I want a rocking chair and a hunting bow.” Yi Qingqing said.

Yun Guyuan could understand a rocking chair, but a hunting bow?

“Can you also use a bow?” Yun Guyuan was really surprised.

Because of family reasons, he had a home but felt like he had no home, and a mother but felt like he had no mother. This was why he needed to find ways to solve many problems on his own and had learned quite a few skills.

It was already good for children who were usually loved by their families not to become arrogant because of the favor. Yun Guyuan had never seen a girl like Yi Qingqing who loved life like the little sun, but how could she still even use a bow?

Yi Qingqing nodded, “A little bit.”

She was telling the truth. A little bit was just a little bit. There were still a lot of hunting skills to learn.

Yun Guyuan just thought that she was being modest. “Okay, I’ll make it for you. You can try to pull my bow first, and I’ll know what your measurement is. For a rocking chair, it will take a little longer.”

“Okay, how much?” Yi Qingqing asked happily.

Yun Guyuan was originally very happy, but his smile disappeared when he heard her words. In her eyes, was he such a money-grubbing person?

Yi Qingqing saw that he didn’t answer for a while and glanced at him.

She always felt that there was cold air coming out of this person, but it was quite cool on such a hot day. She even moved a little closer to him.

If it were in the south, he could probably be used as a mobile air conditioner!

Yun Guyuan sighed inaudibly, “No money required. Just teach me how to cook.”
