Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Another pot of clear and watery wild vegetable soup.

Xu Wenyan couldn't bear it anymore.

He stood up suddenly in anger.

...got angry for a moment.

Watching Xu Wenyan slowly sit down again, Xiaohu quietly leaned against Chen Sanlin and whispered, "Brother Sanlin, what happened to Brother Xu?"

Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan and shook his head, "I don't know. Anyway, just don't mess with him."

"What do you know? Men always have those days when they're in a bad mood." Wang Dongmei squatted beside the two of them, holding a bamboo tube.

"what?"

After hearing her words, both of them were stunned, and they always felt that something was wrong.

But I can’t put it into words.

Xu Wenyan put down the bamboo tube, carried the backpack, picked up the machete, and walked towards the stream without saying a word.

No one dared to ask.

After coming here, Xu Wenyan still doesn't like washing dishes, and he's willing to do anything else.

Walking down along the stream, some of the mountains are bare and many plants have not yet grown, but the plants near the water source are always lush.

This time Xu Wenyan walked relatively far. When passing a tributary, Xu Wenyan found that the water in the stream began to flow into the mountains.

Following this mountain waterway, Xu Wenyan found a small pond with many holes beside it. He couldn't tell whether they were crabs, frogs, eels or something like that.

Xu Wenyan didn't dare to take it out easily, what if he took out a snake.

He was seen digging into the hole with a machete, and soon he touched something soft. Xu Wenyan didn't care about anything else. Even if it was a big snake, he would kill it and make soup today.

next moment.

The brown-green stuff mixed with soil was pried out of the hole by Xu Wenyan.

When Xu Wenyan saw the thing clearly, he was quick-eyed and quick-handed. With one click, he took out the fat frog. Because there was no basket in the backpack, Xu Wenyan could not guarantee that the little guy would not escape, so he simply killed it with a knife.

The texture of frog meat is very delicate, somewhere between chicken and fish, and there is no special skill required to catch a frog, as long as you let go and dare to pounce.

In just half an hour, Xu Wenyan had taken out half a basket of frogs. The pond was so small, and there were probably some frogs that were not at home. He couldn't just wait here.

Just as he was about to go back, Xu Wenyan saw a few wild onions growing in the cracks of the rocks nearby.

Xu Wenyan was delighted again. He had been suffering from a lack of seasoning, and now it was delivered to his doorstep. Moreover, most of the wild onion seeds were brought by birds drinking water.

You know, wild onions grow into a large patch. After picking these two, Xu Wenyan groped in the nearby grass and found a lot more.

No wonder I didn’t see them before. They were all covered by weeds and could not be found without careful observation.

Except for the very big ones, Xu Wenyan only picked the leaves of the small ones without digging up the roots, and then happily pulled a handful back.

When I came back, others were still putting putty on the house.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, where have you been?" Rong Xiaoliu walked towards Xu Wenyan carrying a basket of pebbles.

Xu Wenyan raised his eyebrows: "Wait for Brother Xu to make you something delicious."

Hearing that it was delicious, Rong Xiaoliu no longer cared about the small stone behind him. After putting it down, he followed Xu Wenyan to the stream nearby.

"Bring the dustpan."

The frog's internal organs can also be used as nutrients. This wasteland depends entirely on nutrients. The first crop of crops will definitely not be very good. Xu Wenyan knows this.

"Wow, Brother Xu, where did you catch so many frog fish?" Rong Xiaoliu followed Xu Wenyan's example, took out one and started cleaning it.

"Frogfish?"

"Yes, around the beginning of summer, frog fish are sold in the county. They are said to be extremely delicious, but I have never eaten it." Rong Xiaoliu was already swallowing his saliva as he looked at these frogs.

It's meat after all! This is meat!

I have been here for almost half a month.

This is the first time I have eaten meat except for those insects and small fish. It’s really meaty.

After cleaning the frogs, Xu Wenyan sprinkled a thin layer of salt on them, marinated them, and then put in some wild onion segments to better remove the fishy smell.

Once ready, cook it with wild onions. Just add a little salt and the flavor will come out immediately.

Several people who were working outside also came in after smelling the smell.

Xu Wenyan served a large bowl to everyone.

The frog meat is tender and the flesh and bones separate with a light bite, and the long-lost meaty aroma fills your mouth.

Take another sip of the thick soup, and the aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of onions will linger in your mouth.

It’s really not that delicious.

It’s just that Xu Wenyan hasn’t eaten meat for a long time. This big pot of frog meat is simply a delicacy for him at this moment.

"Brother Xu, I'll go there this afternoon too!" Xiaohu finished the frog meat in the bowl in two bites and was obviously still not satisfied.

"There aren't that many. It's just a small pond."

Xu Wenyan patted his stomach. This meal was really delicious.

"Wenyan, do you still want to eat?" Chen Sanlin handed his bamboo tube to Xu Wenyan.

Looking at this obviously thin man, Xu Wenyan also blamed himself for letting this big guy who followed him become so thin: "You eat, I've finished eating."

Originally, Xu Wenyan wanted to go out for a walk. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw movement in the small backpack containing eggs placed next to him.

Xu Wenyan took two steps at a time and reached the basket in a few steps. He lifted the cloth and found movement inside the shell of the pheasant egg.

"Aunt, come quickly! The chicks are about to hatch."

Hearing the sound, Wang Cuijuan and several children ran out of the door. Wang Cuijuan squatted down and checked carefully. Only three of the five eggs reacted, and the other two must be bad eggs.

Wang Cuijuan hurriedly brought the chicks to the stove. Newly born chicks are very afraid of cold. If the weather changes and there is a breeze, they will die.

"They've really hatched." Wang Cuijuan was also happy. These three little chicks are the hope of the whole family.

Then she took out a handful of corn from her pocket and put it into the bamboo tube.

"Aunt, what do the chickens want to eat?" Rong Xiaoliu asked. He and Rongrong both grew up in the county. They had only seen chickens for sale, but this was the first time they had seen such small ones.

"They don't need to eat anything for the first two days after they hatch. On the third day, I'll grind the corn kernels and soak them in water to feed them." Wang Cuijuan explained as she cleaned up the eggshells: "The eggshells can't be wasted. Grind them into powder and feed them when the chicks are a little bigger."

Xu Wenyan knew this, it was for calcium supplementation.

As early as when Rong Xiaoliu asked the question, Xu Wenyan was also confused. It turned out that this kind of thing had to be done by professionals.

That afternoon, Zhou Jianye set up a chicken coop on the right side of the house. When the chickens grow up, they can roam freely. There are plenty of insects on the mountain, so it can save feed.

Rong Xiaoliu took a few children to the fields to dig earthworms, preparing to raise them to feed the chickens later. Xu Wenyan smiled at the energetic appearance of the children.

At this time, Chen Sanlin came over on one leg and hugged Xu Wenyan: "Wife, do you want a child?"

"We already have them, four at that!" Xu Wenyan raised his chin towards the four children in the field.

After living with several children for more than half a year, they are no different from my own children. They are all very sensible, and I don't even bother changing their feces and urine, which is a tiring task.

Just perfect.

"Brother, let me take you for a walk in the mountains?" Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin and said.

Chen Sanlin smiled with his eyes bent: "Okay."
