Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 13 Discovery, where to sleep

I crossed this mountain and went to another mountain. I didn't find any wild vegetables along the way, but Baishou was very happy today. He shot several prey, two pheasants, a big bird, and later he hunted a weasel , During the break, he hit another badger.These two things are extremely sensitive animals, and they rarely have the chance to hunt them down. I didn't expect to hunt two of them today.

Ferrets are also rarely sold in the market, and the price must be higher than that of pheasants. The most valuable among them is the badger. Not only is its meat delicious, but its fur can also be sold to make clothes.The important thing is that badgers are basically nocturnal, and it is really surprising that they can be hit during the day.

So Baishou was very happy. He thought that he was lucky because his wife came with him today, so he readily agreed to raise the rabbit first.

Wanwan was a bit regretful at first. After walking so many mountains, he didn't find any wild vegetables. Later, when he was resting accidentally, he found another thing that surprised him.

After careful inspection, under Baishou's strange eyes, Wanwan laughed three times: God, I didn't find any wild vegetables, let her find wild peppers.

This looks like a long strip, similar to the modern millet pepper, but it is a little longer, and if you break it off, you can still smell the familiar spicy taste.It was more exciting to find this than that wild vegetable.

Picking two big leaves from the tree, Wanwan began to pick off the ripe peppers, and Baishou asked curiously from the side: "Daughter-in-law, can this be eaten too?"

"Yes... but generally not eaten, it can be used as a condiment."

I picked all the wild peppers around, and just filled two packs of leaves.There will be more places to use this thing in the future, so this is not enough.Then he said to Baishou: "Do you know where there is such a thing?"

"Yes. It's on the mountain we came over just now."

Hearing this, Wan Wan's eyes lit up.

Baishou found a thicker wooden stick, tied up several prey, hung them on both ends, carried the whole thing on his shoulders, bent his back, took all the things, and the two started to walk back .

On another mountain road, Wanwan found a lot of this kind of wild pepper. The villagers, including Baidu, thought this plant was a wild thing. Because it tastes very pungent, no one thought it could be eaten.

Although Baishou was a little hesitant, after the Zheer Cai last time, he still decided to trust his wife.

Wanwan didn't finish picking all the peppers, she only picked the ripe ones, and took them home to see if she could make them into dried peppers first. In her previous life, she had only heard about them, but never made them herself.Maybe also see if you can find chili seeds.

Thinking of the delicious dishes I will be able to taste in the future, I am in a good mood!I don't feel tired when I go back.

It was getting dark when the two returned home.

Put the prey in a good place, because there is no cage, I had to put the wild rabbits in the henhouse. In case the two animals got sick, she used a wooden board to block the inside and divided the henhouse into two.

Wanwan's original plan was to cook for himself at night and make a spicy stir-fried pheasant.

But Baishou said that the pheasants would be saved until tomorrow for money. Later she realized that people in this place are struggling for food and clothing every day. How can they eat meat every day? A few days ago, she was able to eat meat every day because she was still sick. That said, now that he has recovered from his illness, Baishou will consider exchanging his prey for silver.

During the days when she came to this place, the meat she ate was not only the prey hunted by Baishou from the mountains, but also the prey that people cook at this time was very little, so it was bland and tasteless in her mouth.I can't help but miss the greasy fatty pork that I didn't touch at all before!
For the better days in the future, she endured.If I don’t eat game, I only have stir-fried vegetables. Fortunately, I found chili today, and the extra seasoning tastes completely different from usual.And she found a few small white grains on the gluten of the pepper, which are the seeds of pepper.

And Baishou kept saying that the dishes cooked by his wife were delicious!A bowl of food was eaten by him without any leftovers.

After eating, Baishou volunteered to clean up the dishes, and Wanwan poured out all the peppers in the basket.There are too few tools in this house, and it is windy outside. It would have been better to put them outside, but there was nothing, so Wan Wan had to spread all the peppers on the table, and had to wait until the next day to take them out to dry.With the sun, after drying, these peppers can be made into dried peppers for use.In this way, it can be stored for a longer period of time and is more convenient to use.

Since there are peppers, maybe other things are also available, Wanwan decided to go out and look for another day, to see if he could find other condiments.

After Baishou cleaned up, he boiled hot water as usual, after washing, Wanwan went back to the back room, loosened his hair, and lay on the bed thinking about what he would buy at the market with Baishou tomorrow.

After Baishou finished washing, he put the basin in the place designated by Wan Wan, and learned how to hang the wet handkerchief on the rattan under the eaves.This was specially done by Wanwan, he used to put the handkerchief directly on the shelf, his wife said that it would be easy for bacteria to grow like that, now the wife not only does not reject being with him, but also speaks the same way.

Although sometimes there are too many requirements, such as a fixed place to put the pots, but this way the whole house looks much cleaner and tidy.

He doesn't care, where is it not useful?As long as the daughter-in-law is happy.

Thinking of this, Baishou quickly hung up the veil, went back to the main room and closed the door gently, but as soon as he stepped into the inner room, his heart beat non-stop.As if walking into a steamer, my body began to sweat uncontrollably, and my breathing was a little short.

He retreated to the main room, and the feeling of panic and shortness of breath disappeared instantly.

What's going on here?

Baishou wiped his forehead with his sleeve, sat on the bench for a while, and strode into the room again.

The dim oil lamp illuminated the room flickeringly, and the small room seemed even more quiet and depressing because of the even breathing, and it could smell a woman's breath.

A rush of hot blood rushed straight to Baishou's forehead, he was flustered, he let out a big breath, turned around and left the back room, and then sat down on the stone in the yard.

The movement woke up the pheasants in the chicken coop and the hares in the rabbit nest.The two little animals kicked and looked anxiously at the tall black figure sitting quietly in the yard, fearing that this would be the last moment of their lives.

Tall trees shaded the hazy moonlight.

Baishou looked away.

At this moment, he is very entangled, not knowing where to sleep tonight?I don't know what's going on, but as soon as he stepped into the back room, his heart started beating non-stop, and his feet were filled with lead, as if he didn't know whether to move forward or back.

In the past, my daughter-in-law hated him entering the back room the most.But, that was before.He slept with his wife last night.Immediately hesitated again, my wife didn't call him tonight...

Someone is torn between going in and not going in.

After a while, Baishou finally got up and went back to the house, closed the door, bravely entered the back room quietly, walked to the bed, took a closer look, and showed a big smile on his face.

Wanwan's petite body only slept on a small half of the bed, and the vacant space was obviously reserved for him.

He clasped his hands and rubbed them together, and called softly, "Daughter-in-law."

The person on the bed fell asleep.

"young married woman."

Still no response.

"Daughter-in-law." The voice raised one decibel.

A certain person opened his eyes slightly impatiently. He was so annoyed that he didn't sleep at night and kept walking up and down the room.If he doesn't sleep, she still has to sleep.It is easy for a woman to grow old if she goes to bed late!

Dissatisfied looked at the neatly dressed Baishou through the slits of his eyes, and said, "What are you doing up late at night?" With a flick of his face, he turned over and left a cool view of his back.

Baishou was stunned for a moment, he didn't feel any sadness because of Wanwan's complaint, and his face was full of joy, this is a word of mouth from his daughter-in-law!Take off your shoes and clothes after three times, five times and two times, and then go to bed with hands and feet.Compared with the awkwardness of the first night, he is agile and clean at this time.

He has already got permission not to go to bed, he is stupid!
