In another dimension, Little Zhu Lingyun, who had been waiting by the cellar door for a long time, immediately opened the warehouse interface with anticipation and joy as soon as the transaction was completed.
Then, without a moment's delay.
She quickly took out the items inside one by one.
The two thousand five hundred catties of goods did not end up filling the cellar that Little Zhu Lingyun said could only hold two thousand catties of grain.
This was because her family had dug it larger in their excitement, and Little Zhu Lingyun was worried about angering Ding Yun if she said too much, so she did not tell the truth about the cellar's capacity.
If Ding Yun hadn't taken it upon herself to add five hundred catties of soybean meal, the cellar wouldn't have been half full.
But even so.
The quantity was enough to make her ecstatic.
After the initial excitement wore off, considering that her parents and older brother had not yet returned, and her younger brother was sleeping in bed, Little Zhu Lingyun quickly calmed herself down.
And began to organize the items.
However, her emotions fluctuated greatly during the organization process. Because among the supplies that Qiao Mu had traded to her, apart from the soybean meal and beans which were within her expectations, other items such as refined rice, refined flour, large amounts of cornmeal, noodles, or vermicelli, far exceeded her expectations.
The appearance of rapeseed oil and cured meat and sausages.
Made her exclaim with surprise.
When her parents and older brother returned, she still couldn't bear to leave the cured meat and sausages, because she hadn't eaten meat for a very, very long time. The last time she ate meat was during the autumn harvest last year, and seeing so much meat again now, she found it difficult to suppress her salivation.
If it weren't for the fact that raw meat couldn't be eaten, and the aroma of cooked meat was too strong, easily detected by neighbors, she would have wanted to feast on meat before her parents returned.
It wasn't until she heard the door open from the cellar that the internal battle between wanting to eat and not being able to eat temporarily stopped, and she quickly climbed out of the cellar to find her parents.
And soon, she pulled them into the cellar.
Proudly introducing them to the items in the cellar.
Needless to say, their reactions were no different from Little Zhu Lingyun's. It was also at this time that they completely believed the fox spirit that Little Zhu Lingyun had mentioned earlier, because they felt that apart from a fox spirit.
There was probably no one else with such great ability.
So much grain, and even cured meat and sausages, let alone picking them up or stealing them, even robbing the supply and marketing cooperative would not have yielded so many good things.
"That's great, with so much grain, we don't have to worry about swelling from hunger or dying of hunger one day."
"To see so many good things.
I would be content even if I died immediately."
"A'yun, did the fox spirit give you so many good things, do you really not need to give anything in return?"
"Yes, will you be in danger?"
After the initial excitement and agitation, Wang Caihua and her husband quickly began to worry about their daughter again, because they felt that no person or fox spirit would be good to others for no reason.
Before, they could accept and understand fifty catties of miscellaneous grains, but now so many good things.
It truly made them feel...
Like they would sell the entire family and it wouldn't be enough.
How could their family be worthy of such great favor from the fox spirit? Even if their daughter was a bit clever.
It shouldn't be this much!
Poor people suddenly becoming rich...
Especially when it happened inexplicably.
It was inevitable that their hearts would be filled with panic and worry.
"It's okay, the fox spirit said it would never harm my body or soul, so we can use these things with peace of mind, nothing will happen. We can share some with Grandpa and Grandma, or Grandma and Grandpa's side.
However, can we have meat for lunch?"
After all, Little Zhu Lingyun was just a child.
Even if she was slightly more mature, she wouldn't completely shed her childishness. Therefore, after a brief explanation to reassure her parents, she couldn't suppress her craving for meat.
Wang Caihua and her husband, although not completely at ease yet, found it truly difficult to refuse so many good things appearing at such a difficult time.
So in the end, they did not dwell on it.
"We can eat meat, but we can't eat it openly. Don't worry, we'll eat something to fill our stomachs first, and then see if there's a way to cook the meat without letting out too much smell. Let's go up and eat something first.
We'll come down later to organize and cook the meat!"
Although Wang Caihua and her husband also wanted to taste some meat immediately to satisfy their cravings, they were more aware of the impact that cooking meat and letting its smell spread would have. When people are hungry, their sense of taste is absolutely sensitive. Let alone the smell of meat, even the aroma of ordinary food can be easily detected by others.
So if their family really let the neighbors smell the meat.
Even if the neighbors might not come to ask for it, they would definitely spread rumors in private, saying that their family had meat to eat during such a difficult time, and how many good things they might have.
Or they might come to borrow grain, etc.
Therefore, eating meat had to be cautious.
The smell must not be allowed to spread.
Little Zhu Lingyun could also understand her parents' concerns, so she did not throw a tantrum like some unruly children, demanding to eat now. Instead, she obediently followed Wang Caihua out of the cellar and went upstairs to eat sweet potato rice first.
After eating, they specifically found many leaves to wrap a sausage tightly, and then used mud to wrap the leaves covering the sausage securely. After burning it in the stove for more than half an hour, they brought the scorching hot mud ball back to the cellar and sealed the cellar entrance tightly.
Then they broke open the mud and tore open the leaves.
The family of five shared one sausage.
After eating, they ate some more sweet potatoes, trying their best to clean the taste in their mouths, and even dug a hole outside to bury all the leaves and mud that had wrapped the sausage.
Wang Caihua and the others were finally relieved.
Following that, their family busied themselves organizing the supplies in the cellar, putting items that were easy to store at the back, and temporarily setting aside items that were not easy to store, to see if they could find opportunities, find ways, and find people to exchange them for more easily storable items.
In addition, they also packed some things.
Preparing to deliver them to their respective parents' homes when the opportunity arose.
They couldn't have noodles, rice, and meat while their own parents were starving and only had water to drink.
Regardless of anything, with these supplies, Little Zhu Lingyun's family's life in the next one or two years would definitely not be too difficult. And after these one or two years of difficult times, although they wouldn't immediately become well-off, they generally wouldn't starve to the point of illness or death.
At this very moment, Ding Yun also had a general understanding of the situation, and finally, with peace of mind, began to focus on formulating skincare products, preparing to sell skincare products in the future. After all, no matter what, if she wanted to sell skincare products, she first needed to have products to sell.
