Chapter 236 Frozen Pear
Since the first snow fell in early November, it was like a magic switch was turned on, with snow falling from time to time, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
The snow that fell at first melted after two days.
Later, the previous snow had not melted yet, and the next snow fell, and the snow on the ground became more and more.
Liu Jingxue got a new job, which is to clear the snow on the roof, in the yard, or outside the yard.
But this doesn't bother her.
She would collect the snow from the roof and yard into the space at night, and then put it on an open space outside the yard where it would not block the road.
As for the cowshed, the snow was not heavy enough for them to clean it up by themselves, so she did not go to help.
The main reason was that it was not convenient for her to go there during the day, and she couldn’t see in the dark at night.
If it snowed heavily in the future, she would still go to the cowshed at night to clear the snow on their roof, to prevent the snow from crushing the roof and trapping people underneath, as she had said in her dream.
Since breaking through the fourth level of Qi training, Liu Jingxue has spent more time learning spells and making talismans while practicing in space.
After continuous practice during this period of time, she has successfully mastered some low-level spells, such as fireball, cleansing, healing, object control, silencing, invisibility, etc.
Especially the most practical cleaning skills, object control skills, and invisibility skills, she practiced again and again to ensure that she could master them.
After all, she doesn't want to work hard cleaning every day. With one cleaning technique, everything will be as clean as new. Isn't that great?
The skill of controlling objects allows her to move remotely and obtain small items outside the space, which is a great skill for home and travel.
There is no need to say more about the invisibility technique. There are not many invisibility talismans in the space, and I haven't learned how to make one yet. But with the invisibility technique, although it can only be used by myself at present and is only effective for a short two hours, it is enough for emergency.
As for his need for invisibility for a longer period of time, he would have to wait until he learned how to make invisibility talismans himself.
After practicing for this period of time, Liu Xue has been able to project her spiritual consciousness, and the distance has increased to 50 meters.
In this way, in terms of detection range, she has surpassed Tuanzi.
However, she cannot detect the situation outside the space while being in the space, and she cannot keep her spiritual awareness out for 24 hours. Based on these two points alone, Tuanzi is more convenient to use.
After practice, her spiritual awareness has acquired a certain attack capability, which is definitely the best helper for striking with a club.
Nowadays, Liu Jingxue goes to the alchemy room during the day to practice magic and make talismans under the acceleration of the time array. She only practices Qi at night.
After all, there is still a possibility that someone will come to your door during the day.
That day, she was practicing making talismans in the space, and Tuanzi reminded her, "Master, Zhang Guiying is coming outside."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she quickly left the space.
After coming out, I heard a knock on the door.
She quickly put on the cotton-padded clothes and trousers that were kept warm on the kang, put on her shoes, and ran to open the door.
"Sister Guiying, it's so cold outside, why did you come here?
Come in and sit on the kang to warm up." After opening the courtyard door, Liu Jingxue greeted Zhang Guiying when she saw her outside.
"Xiaoxue, I won't go in.
I'm here to tell you that there's a production team nearby that produces particularly good pears.
Tomorrow, many people in our team are going to go over and exchange some and make frozen pears.
Do you want to come with us tomorrow?"
“Make frozen pears?”
Zhang Guiying explained, "Yes, it is to make frozen pears.
In winter, if you sit on the kang every day, you will get a sore throat. Eating some frozen pears will help you get rid of the heat."
Liu Jingxue had only heard of frozen pears but had never eaten them.
She was very interested in the frozen pears, so she quickly nodded and indicated that she wanted to go together.
"Then you should come to my house early tomorrow with your backpack and we will set off together."
Zhang Guiying also instructed, "We usually exchange things for pears, but if we don't have things, we can use money."
The next morning, Liu Jingxue took two bags of brown sugar and two bags of white sugar, and carried one or two backpacks, one in front and one behind, and came to the team leader's house, where she found that many people were already waiting there.
Not only were there many villagers, but all the new and old educated youth at the educated youth site had arrived, except for the three who were on vacation.
After everyone arrived, they all walked towards the village together.
The weather has been good these two days and it hasn't snowed, but the snow on the road hasn't completely melted and is a bit slippery.
Fortunately, everyone's boots were specially made to be non-slip, so no falls occurred.
When they arrived at the village, Aunt Sufen led everyone to their brigade's warehouse in a familiar manner.
It was when the change started that Liu Jingxue felt the love of people in Northeast China for frozen pears.
The villagers are usually very frugal. Except for necessary daily necessities, they will save as much as possible on other things.
But even such a group of thrifty villagers exchanged the frozen pears as if they were picked up for free without spending any money. The starting price was at least 100 kilograms, and some even exchanged 200 or 300 kilograms.
Seeing Liu Jingxue's stunned expression, the lady beside her smiled and explained,
"Here, in winter, whether entertaining guests or showing favors, frozen pears are indispensable.
Besides, there are so many people in the family, and if each person eats one, several kilograms will be gone.
Two or three hundred kilograms may sound like a lot, but it is actually not enough.
But every household in our city got a lot of pears from the mountains, so it was enough for us to use.”
Aunt Sufen changed 300 kilograms and asked her two sons who came with her to carry it.
The villagers used a variety of things to exchange for pears, including eggs, bacon, dried vegetable peels, etc., but they did not use money.
The educated youth who came also exchanged thirty or forty kilograms each, but they all paid for it.
Thinking of the four people in the cowshed, Liu Jingxue exchanged the four bags of red and white sugar she brought with her for two hundred kilograms of pears.
When Liu Jingxue was watching a certain audio video before, it mentioned using the refrigerator to make frozen pears, which required three in and three out steps. Now there was no refrigerator at this time of year, so she didn’t know how to do it.
So on the way back, she asked Aunt Sufen for advice on how to make frozen pears.
Aunt Sufen replied, "What other method is there to make frozen pears? You just have to go back and pick out the rotten and broken ones.
If you are diligent, then wash it. If you are too lazy to wash it, then wash it when you eat.
When you're done, just put it outside and freeze it.
If there is a snowdrift, then get stuck in it and freeze."
An old lady nearby replied, "When it turns black after a few days, it means it's frozen.
Then soak it in cold water and eat it when it becomes soft.”
Thinking of the pears planted in her space, Liu Jingxue quickly asked, "Can frozen pears be frozen at any variety?"
“No, some pears don’t taste good when frozen.
Flowery pears, autumn pears, and white pears taste better when frozen." Aunt Sufen replied.
Liu Jingxue planned to keep 20 kilograms of the 200 kilograms of pears for herself and send the rest to the cowshed.
If you find that it tastes good after freezing it, then take out some pears from the space and freeze some more. If it doesn’t taste good, then forget it.
After arriving home, Liu Jingxue put the pears into the space, carefully selected them with her mind, and picked out the bad ones.
Wash all the pears again.
He moved some of the snow that he had thrown outside into a corner of the yard and stuffed twenty kilograms of pears in to freeze them.
In the evening, Liu Jingxue ran to the cowshed twice and delivered the pears to them.
We also got some food, vegetables and coal for them.
