In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

"oops!"

Chen Shan and Liu Ruyu had just entered the house!

Xiao Ningning jumped up suddenly, looking terrified.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiao?"

Liu Ruyu was startled and quickly ran over to ask the other person with concern.

"Yes, there are bugs! I'm scared!"

Xiao Ningning pointed to the things on the table, hid behind Liu Ruyu, looking like she had seen a ghost, trembling all over, and even her voice was shaking.

Liu Ruyu looked in the direction the other person was pointing and was slightly taken aback.

But the table was covered with all sorts of mountain products!

There were small to medium-sized prey such as roe deer, wild rabbits, pheasants, and bird eggs, as well as all kinds of herbs, wild fruits, and wild vegetables, which almost took up half of the table!

On the other half of the table!

Several enormous honeycomb structures were prominently displayed!

When one of the honeycombs was broken open, it revealed white bee larvae inside.

It was these densely packed, white bee larvae that startled Xiao Ningning.

"You've practiced martial arts since childhood, how could you be afraid of these insects? Wang Xiaoya and Chu Yiren aren't afraid of them either."

Chen Shan leaned closer, gave Xiao Ningning a strange look, and said this.

Wang Xiaoya is really good; she even picked up a fallen bee larva, blew off the dust, and carefully placed it in a bowl, clearly treating it like a treasure.

Wang Xiaoya was the daughter of a merchant!

Although he came from a humble background, he was quite knowledgeable. His family probably had handled exotic goods like bee larvae before, which is why he was so calm.

As for Chu Yiren...

The beautiful Chu stood obediently in an inconspicuous corner, far away from the table!

Chen Shan looked over!

All I could do was offer a polite yet awkward smile.

Well, for a young lady who is very likely from a wealthy family, these white insects are quite impactful.

Chu Yiren didn't yell or shout; it was purely because she had excellent mental fortitude.

"Who's scared? It's just a bunch of bugs!"

When Xiao Ningning realized that Chen Shan had seen her timid side, her face immediately turned bright red!

She opened her mouth to refute, but the more she spoke, the less confident she became!

In the end, he hid behind Liu Ruyu, not knowing whether he was hiding from the insects or from Chen Shan.

Look at that timid appearance!

This is truly a far cry from the persona of someone who has practiced martial arts since childhood.

Seeing this, Chen Shan simply shook his head and smiled, then turned to Liu Ruyu and said:

"Find an earthenware jar. Besides the honeycomb, I also brought back honey. This is a treasure; we must store it carefully."

Honey!

Upon hearing this, the four women present widened their eyes and stared intently at the beehive.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Ningning caught a glimpse of the white larvae and couldn't help but shiver. She quickly turned her head away, but still secretly kept her eyes on the rest of the beehives.

No wonder they reacted this way!

In today's low-productivity world, sugar is an absolute luxury!

Especially for the four of them who had endured a long period of hardship!

I have no idea when I last tasted something sweet.

And in this era, if you want to eat sugar, it has to be either maltose or natural honey!

Maltose is already a luxury, and honey is even more so!

Now that they hear about honey, how can they not be envious?

"Look at you all! Pick out a few plump pheasants and rabbits, clean them up, and I'll personally roast them for you with honey later!"

Chen Shan revealed a plan he had already made.

"Honey?"

"Barbecue?"

All four women were quite surprised.

"What, you guys didn't know honey can be used for grilling meat?"

Chen Shan was somewhat surprised by this and began to ponder it to himself.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case, as Shengchao considered plumpness to be beautiful, and its culinary arts developed rapidly.

Ordinary people are one thing, but Chu Yiren and the other two are obviously worldly people, they should know about combining honey with cooking, right?

"My lord, this honey is worth a lot of money! Wouldn't it be a waste for us to eat it?"

Wang Xiaoya said somewhat nervously.

Even if her family used to be in business!

However, honey is a luxury that can't be eaten often, let alone used for roasting meat.

"That's right, wouldn't it be better to keep it and exchange it for silver? Don't you all agree?"

Xiao Ningning said hesitantly.

Chen Fan: "If you weren't drooling, I would really believe you."

Xiao Ningning: "..."

"It's just honey-roasted meat. Eat it if we tell you to. You men are capable; you won't go hungry."

Chen Shan waved his hand, his attitude resolute and brooking no argument.

A huge pack of prey!

Chen Shan's tough attitude did not disgust the four women at all!

On the contrary, it gave them a lot more sense of security!

"Since my husband has spoken, let's do as he says. We'll clean the game later. Even if we don't eat it ourselves, we should at least make sure my husband is well-fed and watered, right?"

Liu Ruyu was completely obedient to Chen Shan, and upon hearing this, she did not hesitate for long before immediately choosing to speak up for him.

Seeing that both the head of the household and the matriarch had spoken up!

Wang Xiaoya and the gluttonous Xiao Ningning naturally agreed "reluctantly".

"but……"

At this moment, Chu Yiren frowned slightly and hesitated before saying:

"It's a good thing that you're so kind to us, my husband, but my two sisters and I have only helped with some chores since we came to your house. We feel really guilty about enjoying such delicious food!"

"If you ever need our help, please don't hesitate to ask. We three sisters are quite capable."

Chu Yiren remained calm, her gaze fixed intently on Chen Shan as she spoke.

Chen Shan remained outwardly calm, but his mind began to race.

What is Chu Yiren implying to me?

Thinking of this, Chen Shan glanced at Wang Xiaoya and Xiao Ningning without leaving a trace, and already had a guess in his mind.

With the help of the four women, the pheasants and rabbits that needed to be roasted were quickly prepared, skinned and cleaned, and finally Chen Shan personally mixed the barbecue sauce and brushed it on the meat before starting to roast.

Adapting to local conditions, Chen Shan wasn't too picky. Besides honey, he mixed leftover soy sauce, lard, juice from wild fruits, and minced garlic together to make barbecue sauce!

And the taste was just as good as the barbecue sauce he had eaten in his previous life.

About half an hour later, the aroma of roasted meat filled the house.

The villagers of Kaoshan Village had already eaten dinner by now!

It was getting dark and they were getting ready to go to sleep when Chen Shan's neighbors smelled this delicious aroma!

Their cravings were rekindled, but they were powerless to stop them.

Kaoshan Village is poor. Only master hunters like Chen Shan can reap rich rewards from the deep mountains!

No one else has the luxury of eating honey-roasted meat.

Let alone eating it, they had never smelled anything like it before!
