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

Feel the warm sunshine on your hands.

Xu Wenyan opened his sparse eyes.

"Want to sleep a little longer?" Chen Sanlin sat at the head of the bed, using his body to block the sunlight coming in from the window.

Sitting up slowly, Xu Wenyan leaned on Chen Sanlin: "What time is it?"

"It should be Si time."

"It's so late?" He was indeed a little tired from last night. Xu Wenyan got dressed and got out of bed. After a simple wash, Wang Dongmei brought him some porridge to drink.

After drinking, Chen Sanlin took him and Xiaohu into the mountains.

We agreed yesterday to go look for elm seeds, and in the afternoon I also have to teach those refugees how to build shacks.

"Second uncle, if someone comes to help you register your name later." Zeng Guoqin said yesterday that he would come to work, but he hasn't shown up yet at this time.

"Are you talking about them?" Zhou Jianye pointed into the distance. Zeng Guoqin and his wife were helping to dig the foundation of the house, and their two young children were also helping to carry soil.

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Well, pay attention to the children."

"Brother Sanlin, it's been a long time since we went hunting in the back mountain." Xiaohu followed behind, holding a machete in his hand and clearing the thorns that Chen Sanlin had not cleared away.

"It's been a year."

After all, this is where Chen Sanlin has been hunting for a long time, and he is very familiar with it. Just by walking into the depths of the forest, Chen Sanlin has already noticed that there are a lot more prey around.

No one has been hunting in the mountains for a year, and the animals have become bolder. I just walked towards the outskirts of the forest and saw several rabbits slipping by not long after I started walking.

Unfortunately, Chen Sanlin did not bring his hunting bow when he came from the shelter.

Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin and felt itchy: "Brother Chen, I will go ask Lao Luo to borrow his bow and arrow this afternoon."

Chen Sanlin pursed his lips slightly: "I don't need his."

Looking at his stingy look, Xu Wenyan started to laugh.

Before he got closer, Xu Wenyan saw several elm trees over there, and these elm trees had begun to grow leaves.

The elm trees here are huge, so one has to climb to the top of the tree to pick them. Fortunately, the three of them are experts at climbing trees, and they climbed up in no time.

Xu Wenyan sat on a tree branch, plucking elm seeds with one hand, and asked, "Brother Chen, we have never walked this road before."

"Well, there's less prey here, more plants, and there's a sandy area down below."

"Sand." But looking down from the tree, what you can clearly see is flowing water. This kind of river sand would be great if it could be added to the yellow soil and used to pave the ground and build walls.

Unfortunately, the mountain is too far from the village, and it would be exhausting to transport some of them back.

"Brother Chen, let's go down and take a look later."

"I want to go too!" Xiaohu heard what the two said. As long as he followed Brother Xu, there would be treasures everywhere.

The three people quickened their work and picked the elm seeds very quickly. With one hand holding the elm branch and the other hand moving down, a large bunch of elm seeds were caught in their hands.

It can be said that in less than two seconds, the elm seeds on a branch were picked down.

In less than half an hour, the six sacks brought by the three people were full.

After hurriedly sealing the bag tightly, Xiaohu couldn't wait to go down, because before, Chen Sanlin took them hunting to places with more prey, and he had never been to this place.

It looked close from the mountain, but it took him fifteen minutes just to go down the mountain. After passing through several vines, Xu Wenyan could already see the sand in the distance.

At this time, the sun was rising, and the sunlight hit the riverbed, and the reflected light made the whole river bright.

Xu Wenyan took off his shoes and Xiaohu followed him.

Seeing that Xiaohu was about to rush out like a wild horse, Xu Wenyan quickly grabbed him and said, "Why are you so naughty? Don't run on the sand. What if there is a sharp stone or wood underneath? You will lose your feet."

"Okay, I got it, Brother Xu." Xiaohu smiled and slowly followed Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan was seen squatting down, rubbing something in the mud. Soon, Xu Wenyan smiled and stood up, holding two brown-yellow river clams in his hands.

"Wow, Brother Xu, what is this?"

Xiaohu took the two clams and looked at them carefully.

"These are river clams. Our village receives water from upstream. The river downstream is stagnant water from upstream, so there won't be these things in it."

River clams are widely distributed and can reproduce all year round. In places like this where no one intervenes, river clams will become an overgrowth.

People in Jiangsu and other regions like to stir-fry leeks with river clams, or mix them with noodles, which are both delicious.

"Can I eat it?"

"You only know how to eat. You can eat, you can eat, come and touch it." Xu Wenyan smiled. Xiaohu is a very simple child. He likes to pester Xu Wenyan for delicious food whenever he has nothing to do.

"Brother Chen, come down quickly!" Xu Wenyan waved at Chen Sanlin. Not to mention the mud and sand under the water, when Xu Wenyan looked forward, he could see a lot of people lying in the water.

This little guy can only grow to the size of a crabapple at most. The two caught by Xu Wenyan are already the largest clams, at least three or four years old.

In addition, river clams have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, improving eyesight, and being a diuretic and a dampness remover.

The trace elements and cobalt contained in it are good for maintaining human hematopoiesis and restoring liver function.

It would be great to get some more and give them to Luo Sanyuan and the others to nourish their bodies. Wang Dongmei can also eat more. Clams are no different from other seafood or river products, so it doesn't matter if she eats a little more.

Crushing the shells of river clams can improve the acidic soil and can also be used for paving roads. At the same time, its breeding cost is very low and the yield is very high. It can be raised freely and can also improve the physical condition.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Wenyan had piled up a huge mountain of clams on the beach. In addition to clams, there were also river mussels and snails. Compared with clams, in the previous life, people in the village only ate the meat of river mussels, but Xu Wenyan knew that other parts of the river mussels could also be eaten.

It's just troublesome to clean up, so it's not recommended to eat it.

But at this time, it’s good to have something to eat.

"Look! Brother Xu!" The two looked towards Xiaohu and saw that he was holding a river clam that was bigger than his head in his hand, with a smile like that of a silly boy.

"Sure, Huzi!" Xu Wenyan knew that there was no place here, but looking at the size of the river clam, it might have become a spirit. It would be a good opportunity to go back and take a look to see if there were any pearls or anything inside.

The entire body of the river clam is a treasure. Most pearls are produced by it, both natural and artificially cultivated.

Clam shells can be used to make nacre powder and pearl nuclei. Nacre powder contains fifteen kinds of amino acids needed by the human body and has roughly the same effect as pearl powder.

It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, improving eyesight and nourishing yin, calming the mind and soothing the nerves, relieving inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration, relieving cough and reducing phlegm.

By crushing the clam shells and clam meat together, you can make a cheap, high-protein animal feed.

It should be noted that when eating river clams and cockles, they must be cooked thoroughly and cooked as many times as possible.

Xu Wenyan and the other two searched for another quarter of an hour and then decided to leave. It was not because they had run out of things but because the backpacks really could not hold any more.

It can’t be touched all, it can’t be touched completely.
