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

Pain relief alone is definitely not enough.

When Xu Wenyan got home, she was wondering what caused her stomachache.

If it is a bacterial infection, you can take some medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying. Doctor Zhao has all of them, but there are only so many of them in total, and it is impossible to distribute them to so many people.

Another possibility is that there are roundworms in the stomach. It has been twenty days since the rat control test, which is enough time for the roundworms to grow.

But this situation is actually relatively simple to deal with. You just need to vomit out the worms in your stomach.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Sanlin beside him hugged him sideways and rubbed his head on Xu Wenyan's chest. Xu Wenyan smoothed his hair and smiled. This was actually no different from raising a large dog.

No, there is a real dog at home now.

Ever since the black bear came in, every movement in the yard has escaped its ears. It is indeed a pastoral dog carefully selected by our ancestors.

Whether it is used as a guard dog, a hunting dog, it is no worse than foreign breeds.

Early the next morning.

Xu Wenyan got up. Xiaoman and the others were already making earthen bricks. The surrounding walls would have to be built sooner or later, so it would be a good idea to store more bricks.

Taking a handful of peppercorns from the military tent, Xu Wenyan walked towards Zeng's shack.

Because you can see the people inside the shack just by looking inside, it would be somewhat impolite to go in directly: "Brother Zeng, are you home?"

Zeng Guoqin slowly came out of the shack, looking unhappy: "Captain Xu, you are here." He looked around, but couldn't say the words "come in and sit down" at this time.

There's no place to sit in this house.

"I now have a way to treat your illness, but I'm not sure if it will work. Can you be my test subject?" Xu Wenyan looked at Zeng Guoqin calmly.

Zeng Guoqin nodded repeatedly. Although the pain was not as severe after taking the medicine given by Xu Wenyan, he still felt a little uncomfortable. He did not sleep much the whole night, and the child suffered even more.

"Do you want me to try the effect of the medicine? I can do that."

Seeing Zeng Guoqin's eager-to-sacrifice look, Xu Wenyan realized that he seemed to have made the matter too serious: "Hey, don't be so serious." As he said that, Xu Wenyan asked Zeng Guoqin to stretch out his hand.

Dried peppercorns fell into Zeng Guoqin's hands, and Xu Wenyan only gave him about a dozen: "Eat it."

Although Zeng Guoqin looked confused, he still did as Xu Wenyan said and swallowed a few peppercorns.

"Captain Xu, can eating pepper cure this disease? Is pepper also a medicine?"

"You can say that. Next, take care of your body and make sure there is nothing unusual. If you feel like vomiting, don't hold it in and make sure you vomit it all out." After giving the instructions, Xu Wenyan left. He knew that the effect would not come that quickly.

As he was walking back, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Captain Xu."

Xu Wenyan turned around and saw that the person who came was Zheng Liwei. His face was not good, and he should have seen what happened when he and Zeng Guoqin were fighting just now.

"Old Zheng, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, Captain Xu, I wonder if you still don't have any medicine. I can pay for it." Zeng Guoqin smiled naively, clasped his hands together, and waited for Xu Wenyan's reply.

Xu Wenyan smiled and said nothing.

"Captain Xu, please go in and sit down first."

The Zeng family's shack was very close to Zheng Liwei's home, so Xu Wenyan did not refuse and said to Zheng Liwei as they walked: "I do have a way."

Hearing that Xu Wenyan had a solution, Zheng Liwei's face was filled with joy.

“But I’m not sure it will help.”

"No, Captain Xu, your method will definitely work. For someone as wise, brave, resourceful and decisive as you, the method you come up with must be the best one."

Xu Wenyan also smiled. Even though his forehead was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out, he was still able to praise someone.

"Okay, you can try to help me too."

Zheng Liwei saw a piece of peppercorns and swallowed it without saying a word. He also planned to leave a few for his wife and children.

"This is the amount for one time..." After Xu Wenyan told Zheng Liwei the precautions, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Zheng Liwei again.

"Hey, Captain Xu, I don't have much to give you in return. Just take some pickled cabbage and radish." Zheng Liwei brought a bowl to Xu Wenyan without hesitation. The bowl was full of pickled cabbage and radish.

Xu Wenyan took it, picked up a piece of pickled radish and tasted it, it was very authentic: "It's OK, your pickled vegetable."

"Hehe, this is made by my wife. It's a secret recipe passed down from her ancestors. The taste must be very different, right?" Zheng Li showed a hint of pride on his face when he talked about this.

The sauerkraut is crispy and the pickled radish is very flavorful. It is not too salty and is slightly sour. It is a great appetite whetter.

"Don't you consider opening a shop? This sauerkraut is delicious no matter what you stir-fry it with." As a native of Sichuan and Chongqing, Xu Wenyan's love for sauerkraut seems to be no less than that for Houttuynia cordata.

When Zheng Liwei mentioned this, he shook his head helplessly again: "I wanted to open one originally, but didn't I encounter the war? Alas." Zheng Liwei sighed heavily: "If the Lin Kingdom hadn't gone to war, maybe I would have opened my own store with the savings accumulated in the first half of my life."

No one likes the feeling of working for others. Not only will they become depressed, but their enthusiasm for work will also be greatly reduced.

But there are always times when people are forced to do things they don't want to do in order to make a living, whether in ancient times or modern times.

Many times people have no choice.

Xu Wenyan also sighed softly: "Yes, accidents are not something that people can interfere with." In fact, he is not much better than Zheng Liwo.

"But, life is long, there will always be another chance." Afterwards, Xu Wenyan used the bowl to scoop a bowl of sauerkraut juice. As long as he had this, he could make sauerkraut himself.

When he returned with the bowl, everyone in the family was waiting for Xu Wenyan to eat.

"Where have you been, Brother Xu? If you don't come back, Brother Sanlin won't let us eat." Xiaohu ran up with a little grievance and instantly noticed what Xu Wenyan was holding.

"Brother Xu, what delicious food is this?" Ever since he ate so carelessly before, Xiaohu would always ask hello first whenever he saw Xu Wenyan taking something.

Xu Wenyan looked at Xiaohu with a wicked smile: "It's delicious, want to try it?"

Looking at Xu Wenyan's expression, Xiaohu said that he would not be fooled recently.

It was not until Xu Wenyan was eating that the Law of Truth was heard again at the table: "Brother Xu, why haven't people in the village made this before?"

As for this question, Xu Wenyan didn't know either. After all, this was a country that did not exist in history. How could Xu Wenyan know where the sauerkraut came from at this time.

"All you need to know is that it tastes good." Breakfast was potato soup.

This potato soup is actually just potatoes mixed with various vegetables cooked together.
