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

Wei Zheng and Zhu Geng ran away with their men.

As for where he went, no one knew. Wang Zeren took this matter very seriously and posted notices in the county and three nearby villages.

It can be said that the other five people cannot stay in Fengxian County at least.

Because the two men of Eryazi had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes and providing relevant information about the criminals in a timely manner, each of them was sentenced to three months of hard labor, to be implemented after the war, and was also given ten strokes of the cane.

Take this as a warning.

In the shelter.

With nothing to do in winter, Chen Sanlin wanted to take a walk deep into the woods. This was a good time for hunting.

The weather is warm this year, so it is basically unlikely that another cold wave will occur.

Taking Xu Wenyan, Xiaohu and Zhou Jianye with them, the four of them put on their armor and started walking towards the depths of the forest. This time they were heading in the same direction that Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin had gone to hunt wild boars.

That day we discovered the wild boar's nest not long into our journey, so we didn't go deep into the area for long.

Moreover, because of animals' tendency to seek profit and avoid harm, wild animals that have suffered losses in shelters choose to stay away from this troubled place.

There are plenty of water sources in the mountains, it’s just a little difficult to find.

"Hey, Brother Xu, what kind of bird is that? The feathers on its head are red and its tail is green. How come it's so strange?"

Following the direction Xiaohu pointed, Xu Wenyan looked at a large pheasant with blue-green tail feathers with red tips, a green head and a blue-black body.

"You'll spend the rest of your life in jail."

"Ah?" Several people looked at him with confusion.

"Hey, Green-tailed Pheasant, let it play its own game, let's not provoke it."

Xiaohu ran to Xu Wenyan in two steps and said, "Brother Xu, why can't we hunt it? Its feathers can definitely be sold for a lot of money."

The law at this time would not take care of these things, but Xu Wenyan always felt uncomfortable after beating him: "It's just that little bit of meat, let the child go, ah."

When I passed by this wild boar's den covered with weeds again, there was nothing in the den. When I got here, I had to start going down the mountain.

As soon as he went down, Xu Wenyan saw many wooden vines entwined on the slanting green ganoderma trees, and many black fruits were grown on the vines.

Seeing that several people were about to go downstairs, Xu Wenyan hurriedly called out: "Wait a minute, there are wild grapes over there."

Carefully pull the tree over. Because it is a slope, Xu Wenyan is leaning against the tree to support himself.

"Brother Xu, what are grapes?"

In ancient times, grapes were not affordable for ordinary people. Only kings and emperors could taste them for a few months each year.

As for the servants, I'm afraid I've never even seen them.

This wild grape is small in size, sour in taste, and not very tasty. If you eat too much, it will make your mouth astringent.

Xu Wenyan picked one and tasted it. It tasted sweet and sour. Because it was after the frost, the sweetness was more prevalent, but only a little.

"Try it." Xu Wenyan handed one to Xiaohu, who ate it doubtfully: "Brother Xu, what is this? It tastes so strange. Wow, so sour."

These wild grapes can be used to make wine, but they contain too much sugar. Xu Wenyan is still considering whether to make this wine.

"Brother Chen, you guys go first, I'll pick some and then I'll go."

"Brother Xu, be careful then."

Chen Sanlin also looked at Xu Wenyan with some concern. The two looked at each other, and Xu Wenyan raised his eyebrows and smiled at him: "Okay, you guys go quickly."

It's not difficult to make wine, but it requires sugar. The ratio of grapes to sugar must be 10:3. It seems I have to ask Wang Zeren for some sugar.

All the radishes and meat at home were sent to him. It’s not too much to ask for one weighing six or nine kilograms.

Now it depends on whether Chen Sanlin and his men can get something. They will bring some to Wang Zeren when the time comes. I went to the county to buy sugar before, and it cost about two hundred wen, which is dozens of times more expensive than grain.

For example, ordinary brown rice costs only a few cents per pound, while white flour and white rice costs more than ten cents per pound.

The prices of this wine vary, with the cheapest being a few cents and the most expensive being several taels per jar being normal. Moreover, Xu Wenyan has never seen fruit wine here before. If this wine can be successfully produced, after deducting the cost, he can earn twice the price.

But looking at these wild grapes that could barely fill two backpacks, Xu Wenyan decided to give up. He could sell them, but they could not be the main item.

Xu Wenyan planned to open a snack bar in the county, selling a variety of things, such as persimmon cakes and wine, which could be sold as seasonal special products.

The items I sell are diverse. I just need to have a few signature dishes that are served for a long time, and with constant innovation, my business should be good.

These wild grapes were easy to pick and the skins were tough. However, because they arrived a little late, many of them had been eaten by birds and insects. Xu Wenyan tossed and turned and filled most of the basket before heading home.

"What did you pick? Such a big bunch." Wang Dongmei took a bunch of wild grapes from Xu Wenyan's backpack and tasted it: "Hey, so sour, really delicious."

"Sister Dongmei, do you like sour food?"

Xu Wenyan put down the backpack and squeezed his shoulders. Such a big backpack was really heavy.

"Not really. It wasn't very good before. Lately I've been craving something sour."

While she was talking, Wang Dongmei had already eaten a lot.

"Sister Dongmei, you are not pregnant, are you?"

Wang Dongmei was also stunned after hearing Xu Wenyan's words: "Don't say that."

As for her physical condition, it was not convenient for her to tell Xu Wenyan, a man, so she had to find a woman to confirm it.

While running, don't forget to pick up a bunch of wild grapes.

"Sister Dongmei! Run slower!"

If she is really pregnant and still acting so careless, that won't do.

When Xu Wenyan picked these grapes, they were still attached to the vines. There would be no problem if they were left for two days. Now that the weather is cool, they won't go bad easily.

Wang Cuijuan was weeding the field, and Wang Dongmei took her hand: "Juan, Xu Wenyan said I seem to be pregnant."

"Ah?" Wang Cuijuan was surprised and delighted: "Really?! Then, what did you bring this month?"

Thinking back carefully, I really didn’t: “No.”

After all, Wang Cuijuan had never given birth to a child, and now she was just happy and didn't know what to do: "This, this is a good thing, Xiaodong and the others will have a younger brother in the future."

"We don't even know if she's pregnant yet. Besides, it's just a brother. I like his sister too."

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Cuijuan laughed brightly and suddenly remembered that there was no midwife here. Although Xu Wenyan had some medical skills, delivering a baby was not something he knew how to do.

"Then we have to go to the village to look for Aunt Ma tomorrow."

Wang Dongmei was also worried: "It's so chaotic now, I wonder if Aunt Ma is still here."

The two of them looked gloomy. "It's okay. Xiaoyan will definitely have a way. What are you eating?"

Wang Dongmei directly stuffed a wild grape into Wang Cuijuan's mouth.

"Ah, you can eat something so sour, you must be my son."
