Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 4: Uncle's Meat Won't Leave Until It's Finished

But at the same time, two doubts arose in his mind.

One is when did his backyard become the garbage dump of the universe?
Another question is why this garbage dump of all worlds has not been discovered by others?
If it had been discovered, it would have already become the focus of attention of all major departments.

But the reality, especially the reactions of the youngest and second oldest sisters, seemed to be completely unaware that there was such a huge garbage dump hidden in the backyard.

The path to understanding.

How can there be any debt?

Why would I rush around just for three meals a day?

To put it bluntly, if you just pick up some things from the garbage dump, you can live a rich life.

After all, some things in the garbage dump can be worth a lot of money, whether in the 1970s and 1980s or decades later.

Seeing that he had already walked out of the backyard and the garbage dump had not yet disappeared, Liu Qingsong shouted to his youngest sister who was feeding the chickens, "Hongxia, come here."

"Here I come!" The youngest sister appeared running with her short legs.

When he saw Liu Qingsong taking out a fat, headless hare from the shabby fishing tackle box, his eyes widened and he began to stutter: "Third brother,...you...you......"

"What do you mean? Look what's inside?" Liu Qingsong pointed to the backyard.

"What?" The youngest sister scratched her head and looked over.

In the backyard, besides the pile of firewood and straw, there were farm tools placed in the corner. Oh, and there were two rabbit skins hanging on the wall.

"You didn't see anything special, like a garbage dump?" Liu Qingsong prompted.

"I didn't see it." The youngest sister shook her head.

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally confirmed that only he, a reborn person, could see the garbage dump of all worlds in the backyard, and only he could enter it, and only he could take out the things inside.

This also explains why no one has ever discovered this garbage dump of all worlds before, because the triggering conditions are probably related to him, the reborn one.

This is a good thing for him, a very good thing.

As long as it is used well.

Not to mention that you will never be hungry again.

It would be easy to make money.

But this secret cannot be told to anyone.

I said, I'm afraid I'll be locked up as a guinea pig.

"Third brother, what do you want to say?" The suspicious youngest sister interrupted Liu Qingsong's thoughts: "Also, where did you get this brainless rabbit?"

"Do you believe that I found it in the backyard?" Liu Qingsong asked teasingly.

"Hehe... I believe it! I believe it!" The youngest sister jumped up happily and did not doubt Liu Qingsong's words: "Third brother, since this wild rabbit was picked up, can we cook it?"

"Of course, but you are not allowed to tell anyone else." Liu Qingsong reminded him and walked towards the kitchen carrying the rabbit.

The youngest sister followed happily behind.

Seeing that the door was open, he quickly turned back and closed it.

Then he ran into the kitchen to add firewood and boil water to help Liu Qingsong.

For Liu Qingsong, a reborn person, processing a wild rabbit is very simple. Skinning, gutting and chopping it into pieces can be done in one go.

But he was stumped by the seasoning.

It’s not that Liu Qingsong doesn’t know how to use seasonings.

But the family was so poor that apart from chili powder, salt, soy sauce and peppercorns, there were no other seasonings, not even cooking oil.

These are the ingredients needed to cook a good stewed rabbit.

This is a bit difficult for Liu Qingsong.

However, he did not try to find seasoning, but let nature take its course.

After all, delicious food is never cooked by seasonings, but by extraordinary cooking skills and understanding of the ingredients.

Of course, the most important point is that after rummaging through the garbage dump of all worlds for so long, he was already hungry.

It’s good enough for him to have something to eat now, he can’t be picky.

After pouring all the chopped rabbit meat into the large iron pot with water, Liu Qingsong added some salt and covered the pot, then said to his youngest sister, "I'm going to go out for a while. You keep an eye on the firewood so that the stewed rabbit meat doesn't burn."

"Yes, yes! Third brother, you go ahead!" The youngest sister nodded her head: "I know how to stew rabbit meat. It won't burn."

The youngest sister is indeed very familiar.

After all, we live at the foot of Wild Boar Ridge.

I eat a lot of wild rabbit meat on a regular basis.

So she must know the right timing for stewing the rabbit meat.

Liu Qingsong smiled when he heard this, picked up a rag, wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen, then carried a woven bag of scrap steel and walked towards the blacksmith Wang's house in the southeast.

Twenty minutes later, he came back.

But the woven bag of scrap steel in his hand turned into a small bag of sweet potatoes and half a bag of rice.

The reason why it went so smoothly was that the blacksmith’s business had been booming for the past seven or eight years!
Blacksmith Wang’s business was no exception. More than a dozen villagers were looking for Blacksmith Wang to make ironware.

Under such circumstances, Wang the blacksmith naturally would not argue with Liu Qingsong. Seeing that there was no problem with the scrap steel to be sold, he immediately asked his wife to exchange it for sweet potatoes and rice.

This is not to take care of Liu Qingsong, but the price of iron was not cheap in the 1970s and 1980s, and it was actually profitable to exchange it for grain.

Although Liu Qingsong knew this, he didn't care about it. Because it was already very good that Wang the blacksmith could exchange it for food to tide over the current difficulties at home.

Seeing that the aroma of the stewed rabbit in the big iron pot had already spread during the time he went back and forth to Wang the blacksmith's house, Liu Qingsong put down the bags of sweet potatoes and rice in his hands, picked up a small spoon, scooped some chili powder and pepper powder and sprinkled it into the big iron pot.

After stirring evenly.

Just about to taste it.

There was a knock on the door outside: "Hongxia, Qingsong, are you home?"

"Ah?" Liu Qingsong turned his head and looked over.

This sound...

Why does it sound so familiar?

"It's the eldest sister who's back!" The youngest sister, who was holding the dishes and chopsticks, was stunned at first, then she took her short legs to open the door.

Liu Qingsong put the lid on the big iron pot and followed behind.

At the gate, a young woman was carrying a bag of sweet potatoes on her shoulder and holding a little girl's hand, looking around.

The mother and daughter were none other than Liu Qingsong's elder sister Liu Chunhua and niece Wang Xiaonuo.

Liu Chunhua looks 30% similar to Liu Qingsong, with a healthy wheat-colored skin. Because they had walked over the mountain road, there was a lot of yellow mud on their trouser legs.

Seeing her three-year-old daughter chasing a butterfly not far away, she frowned and shouted, "Little Nuomi, don't run around when you get to grandma's house. If you get taken away by a tiger, I won't care about you."

"Oh!" the little girl replied in a baby voice, then she stretched out her little hands in fear and hugged the young woman's right leg.

Liu Qingsong, who opened the door, saw this scene and couldn't help laughing: "Sister, how come you have time to come back today?"

"Hehe... Hello, big sister!" The youngest sister also greeted her, then walked up and took the shy little Nuomi's hand and ran to the kitchen.

"Run slower!" Liu Chunhua saw this and chased after them, carrying sweet potatoes in her hand: "What if you fall down?"

"No, big sister." The youngest sister ran to the kitchen, brought a bench, climbed up, and then lifted the lid of the pot with great effort.

When Liu Chunhua and Xiao Nuomi saw the hot steam and the fragrant smell of meat wafting out of the big iron pot after the lid was opened, both mother and daughter were stunned and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

After coming to her senses, Liu Chunhua asked Liu Qingsong with a dark face: "Did you go hunting in the back mountain today?"

The back mountain is so dangerous. If you hunt alone, you can lose your life at any time.

"No, I picked up this rabbit in the backyard." Liu Qingsong said perfunctorily with a smile.

Liu Chunhua didn't believe it. After all, how could there be a wild rabbit in the backyard? She was about to scold Liu Qingsong when her youngest sister spoke up. She scooped up the wild rabbit meat with a spatula and said, "Sister, this wild rabbit was really picked up by my third brother. I...I saw it with my own eyes."

"Really?" Liu Chunhua was surprised.

"Of course it's true. Don't say anything. Since you happened to meet, quickly get your bowls and chopsticks and eat." Liu Qingsong said, then turned around and brought a small table.

Liu Chunhua no longer doubted the truthfulness of Liu Qingsong's words, nor did she be polite to Liu Qingsong. She took bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, scooped up two large bowls of wild rabbit meat, took Xiao Nuomi to sit at the small table and started eating.

She was surprised to find out.

The stewed rabbit Liu Qingsong made this time was exceptionally delicious.

It was better than anything she had ever tasted before.

I was just about to ask Liu Qingsong how he did it.

In the corner of the kitchen she found small bags of sweet potatoes and rice.

In order to clear up her doubts, she asked, "Qingsong, where did you get these rice and sweet potatoes? When I met Lijuan this morning, didn't she say that we were out of food?"

"I exchanged the scrap axe and steel with Wang the blacksmith." This time Liu Qingsong did not give an excuse or lie.

After all, this matter cannot be concealed.

"Oh!" Liu Chunhua nodded and felt relieved.

There was indeed a lot of scrap steel in the house, which my parents had picked up on the highway before they were arrested.

There is nothing to eat at home now, so there is nothing wrong with exchanging it for food.

Seeing that her younger brothers and sisters would not be hungry at home for the time being, Liu Chunhua was very relieved: "Since you have found a way to exchange for food, Xiao Nuomi and I will go back first. There are still many things waiting for me to do at home!"

Liu Qingsong was about to nod, but Xiao Nuomi spoke first unhappily: "Mom, I...I won't go back."

"Why?" Liu Chunhua was puzzled.

"Because I haven't finished eating all the meat at my uncle's house! There will be no more meat to eat when I go back." Little Nuomi replied seriously, then buried his little head in the bowl and continued to drink the soup.

Liu Chunhua: "..."

"Hahaha..." Liu Qingsong burst into laughter.

"Hehe..." The youngest sister was also amused.

Little Nuomi didn't feel embarrassed.

I also laughed happily.

Seeing this, Liu Chunhua also smiled.

But he soon put away his smile and began to sigh.

I feel that if my parents were here at this time, it would be so nice for the whole family to be happy.
