Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 241 Gathering and Raising Cubs in the Wasteland
Chang Dongning faintly heard voices coming from the bean field and began picking acorns into his basket.
It was already 11:30 a.m. Although the beans were quite tall, they didn't provide much shade. People still had to rest under the trees when the midday sun was strong.
Two people emerged from inside, glanced at Chang Dongning who was alone under the tree, and walked to a place some distance away from her to sit down. Their baskets were covered with bean leaves, indicating that they had probably made a harvest.
Chang Dongning changed her angle, letting the tree block her view, took out her nutritional supplement, drank it, and began to rest.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, people who were resting under the trees walked into the bean field in twos and threes, and Chang Dong followed the crowd.
The two people closest to her during her lunch break sidled up to her and asked, "Why are you picking this up? Is it edible?"
"Pick them up, dry them, and use them for firewood," Chang Dongning said casually.
"You'd spend points all this way to pick up this thing?" The other person clearly didn't believe it.
Chang Dongning toyed with the dagger: "You think I'm easy to bully just because I'm alone?"
"Ask what's wrong?"
"Oh, then I'd like to ask you how your harvest was today?" Chang Dongning pressed forward instead of retreating, his sharp dagger gleaming coldly, clearly not cheap.
This is a wasteland world; if she doesn't take a hard line, she could easily be robbed.
It's not cheap, is it? It's reinforced with metal-based superpowers from the post-apocalyptic world. She discovered that the laws here can't tolerate things from the cultivation world, but they can use things from the post-apocalyptic world.
Those two were just ordinary people who came to collect beans; they didn't want to risk their lives, so they hurriedly ran back to the bean field.
Chang Dongning adjusted her hat and entered the bean field. This time, she checked horizontally. Half an hour later, she harvested four beans with moderate radiation. She then walked to the edge of the oak forest and continued picking acorns.
At 3:30, she carried half a basket of acorns on her back and walked into the bean field. This time she didn't get checked and walked straight back because the safe zone vehicle would come to pick them up at 4:30, and they wouldn't wait for them if they were late.
At 4:20, Chang Dongning, taking advantage of the cover of the grass, took out a moderately radioactive bean from his spatial storage and buried it among the acorns in his basket. He covered it with a layer of bean leaves, carried the basket to the front of the vehicle, had the driver verify his identity to confirm that he was the person who had paid the fee that morning, got in the vehicle, and prepared to return to the safe zone.
I got back late today. After arriving at the safe zone, I bought ten of the cheapest nutrient solutions, which cost five points each. After using up all my points, I only had a pitiful thirty-five points left on my watch.
We have to buy this. Chang Xuan is too young to cook. It's most convenient for him to eat a nutrient solution when he's hungry at noon. Before she came, Chang Xuan didn't eat anything at home at noon. This is the norm in the wasteland world. When he's not working, he eats very little, sometimes only one meal. After she came, she told Chang Xuan that he should eat half a nutrient solution every day at noon.
It was already past six o'clock when I got home.
"Mother."
"Are you getting impatient? The place we're going to today is quite far."
"Mom, it's all dried." Chang Xuan pointed to the winnowing basket in the yard, showing off his achievement.
"Hmm, Xuanxuan is really amazing." Chang Dongning put down the basket. "Mom has something to do today, so she won't cook. How about we just have some nutritional supplements?"
"Okay, I'll help Mom." Chang Xuan obediently drank half a vial of nutritional supplement, saying this.
"Okay, go and collect the branches."
Chang Xuan squatted in the yard, carefully gathering the branches together. She took out all the acorns from her storage space.
The testing began. The high-radiation samples were set aside, dried, and used as firewood. The low-radiation and moderate-radiation samples were soaked in water for two or three days to remove the bitterness.
The acorn shipment rate is very good, with low-radiation and moderate-radiation varieties each accounting for one-third.
Chang Xuan had already gathered the branches together in the yard. Chang Dongning walked over and put the dried branches into the woodshed.
"Xuanxuan, this," she pointed to the acorn, "is highly radioactive. It's for firewood, not for putting in your mouth, understand?"
"it is good."
After finishing all that, it was almost eight o'clock. Chang Dongning and her son quickly washed up and went to sleep.
She got up at the normal time the next day, cooked a pot of porridge with the nutrient solution and rice from her space, drank it, left a bowl for Chang Xuan, and went out to catch her ride.
Still five points, take a car to the bean field outside the oak forest, harvest six edible beans, and a lot of acorns.
Chang Dongning changed the water for the first batch of acorns every day and soaked them for five days. On the fifth day, he returned and sold three moderately irradiated beans, earning ninety-five points. He then bought ten bottles of nutrient solution and ten water purification tablets.
She's going to make acorn tofu at home tomorrow, so she won't be going out.
Remove the skin from the acorns. Since the small stone mill at home is too small and the acorns here are too big, I can only break them into small pieces first, then grind them into a paste, filter, let it stand, pour off the clear water on top, and get a thick acorn starch paste. Pour in water at a ratio of 8:1, simmer over low heat, stirring constantly until it becomes transparent and thick, turn off the heat, and finally let it cool naturally.
"Mom, what?" Chang Xuan stood on tiptoe, trying to see what his mother was doing.
"Mom is making something. I'll make you something delicious later, okay?" Chang Dongning reassured her. She wasn't going out to collect food today and didn't get up until after eight o'clock. She had a simple breakfast, and while the food was resting, she prepared to make lunch.
She's been in the bean field for the past few days. At home, she only has dried wood ear mushrooms, a dried unknown plant, and the undried plant left in her space. These two are plants that are not officially recorded.
To be on the safe side, I could only take out the wormwood seeds that I hadn't eaten yet from my space, wash them clean, blanch them, squeeze them into balls, and remove the excess water.
She ate a small piece herself; it tasted a bit bitter and had a rough texture. After finishing, she started rinsing the rice. Since the vegetables weren't good, the staple food was crucial. She decided to eat something good today and cook some radiation-free rice.
He took out a piece of fatty meat from his spatial storage, rendered it into lard, broke up the vegetable dough, stir-fried it until cooked, added salt, and then took it out of the pan.
"Dinner's ready, Xuanxuan."
"Mom's here!" Chang Xuan scurried into the kitchen with his short legs.
"It's so delicious, Mom! What is this?"
"This is rice," Chang Dongning replied. Rice does exist in this world, but the rice found in the wild is a giant version that can only be eaten after being broken up. The taste is average, and it's very expensive.
It is said that the people in the upper class can eat rice of normal size because it was cultivated by wood-type ability users.
Poor little Changxuan, he's never even eaten broken rice.
"The rice is delicious."
"Yes, it's delicious. Mom will buy more next time if I have the chance." Chang Dongning took a bite of the stir-fried mugwort. It was still slightly bitter, but the taste was acceptable.
