Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 297 Mutton

So, it’s not that people here have a habit of hiding things, but because they are acquaintances?

6059, Yijiabao, 300 gold; 6073, Yijiabao, 800 gold, and some jewellery.

Jiang Yu quickly flipped through the contents of the notebook until she saw a very familiar record, then she stopped.

They are indeed in the same group!

It’s just that Uncle Liu retired and went home to retire, while the owner of this den moved to another place and continued to call the shots.

Jiang Yu closed her eyes, and she suddenly realized that her unexpected gains seemed to be gathering up Yi Chi's family's things bit by bit.

Am I Yi Chi's golden finger? She suddenly realized.

Could it be that God couldn't bear to see Yi Chi live such a miserable life, so he sent me to save him? Then God must be very kind, didn't he think that I would never return these things to Yi Chi?

Or does he think that there is no difference between giving these things to me and returning them to Yi Chi?

Jiang Yu's thoughts were scattered. Even though he was holding the notebook in his hand, his mind had already wandered to other places.

Although he didn't know if there was a reason for his time travel, Jiang Yu felt that it was all worth it. Being able to return from the terrible apocalypse to a normal society was a great blessing.

After cleaning up all traces in the cellar, Jiang Yu returned with a full load.

She went to the scrapyard in a good mood.

Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang were chatting outside the guard's small house. When they saw Jiang Yu approaching from a distance, they immediately smiled and said, "The girl is here!"

Jiang Yu also waved and trotted over to them. "I saw that the weather was pretty good these two days, so I came to the commune to buy some things and visit you guys."

Aunt Liang reached out and took Jiang Yu's hand, feeling it. It was warm, and she felt relieved. "It's so cold, don't run around. Besides, there's so much snow on the way back to the village. Rubber shoes are not cold-resistant. If you get frostbite, you'll suffer alone."

Uncle Liang hurriedly urged them to go into the house, "There is a brazier burning in the house, go in and warm up."

"Yeah." Jiang Yu agreed and was pulled into the house by Aunt Liang.

As soon as they sat down, Jiang Yu took down the backpack, lifted the oilcloth on top, and gave them the things he brought. "Preserved rabbit, I'll give you a dish. There are also some hazelnuts, walnuts, dates, and chestnuts. I picked up a lot this year and can't eat them all. Auntie, help me eat some."

"You're here again! Just come and see me. Why do you always bring things with you? I'm old and I still want to take advantage of a little girl like you." Grandpa Liang quickly asked his daughter to hold Jiang Yu down to prevent her from taking things out.

But with Jiang Yu's strength, who could stop her? In a blink of an eye, she held down Aunt Liang's arms and took all the things she needed. She put them all on the dining table. "I live on the edge of the mountain. It's just a matter of effort to get these things. I really picked up too much. You can help me eat some of them."

Uncle Liang sighed and looked at his useless daughter, and could only wink at her desperately.

Aunt Liang naturally knew what her father meant. She had been prepared long ago and was waiting for Jiang Yu to come.

"Take it, take it. Let go of your hand first and I'll pour you a bowl of water." Aunt Liang immediately found an excuse to make Jiang Yu let go.

Jiang Yu chuckled and released his left hand that was holding Aunt Liang.

After Aunt Liang was free, she immediately turned and went into the kitchen. After a while, she came out with a bowl of hot water and a basket.

"Come and have a look. These are the little things that auntie collected for you." Aunt Liang put down the bowl of water and handed the basket to Jiang Yu, letting her look at it for herself.

Jiang Yu took the basket curiously, took out the contents and placed them on the table.

A small stone lion, very small and exquisite; a whistle, probably made of pottery; a piece of wood, smooth and delicate to the touch; a few bullet shells; and a book full of pictures of buildings.

"You have to put that book away carefully." Aunt Liang and Uncle Liang were sitting nearby, watching her flipping through the book with great interest, and they knew that she had picked the right thing.

Jiang Yu looked up and smiled at her, "Thank you, Aunt Liang, these are all the things I like."

"As long as you like it, I'll save it for you when there's something fun next time." Aunt Liang was happy to see that she liked it, and then asked her if she wanted to eat mutton.

"Aunt Liang, do you have a way?" Of course Jiang Yu wanted to eat it. In winter, one should eat mutton, which is warm.

"Then wait a moment. If they still have some, I'll get some back for you." Uncle Liang stood up and rushed out the door in no time.

Just as Jiang Yu was about to ask him the price, the man had already run away.

"No, Aunt Liang, this money..."

"What money? You brought us food, can't we give you some in return?" Aunt Liang glared, "Do you still want to go pick up iron sheets today? But you came at a bad time this time, there is nothing left."

"I'll just walk around." Jiang Yu was afraid that if she sat down any longer, Aunt Liang would get her something again, so she decided to go out and walk around.

Aunt Liang waved her hand and said, "Then it's up to you. There aren't many people here now anyway. It's so cold, don't walk around for too long, or you'll get cold."

"Got it." Jiang Yu agreed obediently, then went out to rummage through the garbage in several warehouses at the back.

But Aunt Liang said there was nothing, and that really was nothing. Maybe a truck came and took away a batch of things a few days ago.

There was basically nothing in the warehouse of wood and iron products, so Jiang Yu could only go and see if there were any relatively complete books.

There wasn't much in the warehouse where books were stored, just some newspapers, but they had been there for a long time and had no news value.

Ginger Fish looked around and found that there seemed to be nothing useful, so he had to return to the guard's hut.

Uncle Liang came back just in time with her. He not only brought back a leg of lamb for Jiang Yu, but also a big bowl of lamb offal soup. "Come on, come on, this is hot lamb offal soup, come and have a bowl!"

Aunt Liang hurried into the kitchen and brought out a spoon and a bowl.

As soon as Jiang Yu sat down, they stuffed him with a bowl of mutton soup. The soup was milky white with oil floating on it and smelled a little bit of mutton, but after the soup went in his mouth, only the mellow fragrance remained.

"It's delicious!" Jiang Yu exclaimed in amazement.

"Right, let me tell you, the old shepherd's cooking skills are really amazing. This sheep is also a good sheep. You can take it back later. It will be frozen hard on the way. Then use a sharp knife to slice the meat, blanch it in the pot with plain water, and then dip it in some chive sauce. Hey! It's so delicious! By the way, girl, do you have chive sauce?"

"No." Jiang Yu shook his head.

"I'll get you a can. This mutton must be dipped in chive sauce to taste good!" Uncle Liang patted his chest and got one more thing for Jiang Yu.
