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

Follow Chen Sanlin to the place where the trap was set.

It can be seen that the hole of the previously dug trap is filled with a lot of rain water: "Brother Chen, where did you just find it?"

"It was right here that it nearly fell into the trap."

Xu Wenyan nodded and the two began to search nearby. Chen Sanlin was indeed a hunter, searching for traces of the turtles along the way and found a few more on the way.

In fact, this turtle runs quite fast, and it takes Chen Sanlin's long legs to catch up with it.

Also, you have to be careful when catching it, because if you bite it from behind, it won't let go easily.

After Chen Sanlin was caught, Xu Wenyan immediately picked up the backpack and caught him.

These turtles all live in the mudflats below. It rained heavily and the water became turbid, making it difficult to breathe if you stay there for a long time. The water level also rose a lot.

That's why these turtles crawled onto the shore. It was really a coincidence today.

After searching for half an hour, there were already five turtles in the backpack: "Okay, Brother Chen, there are not that many left. Xiaoliu is still waiting for them. We will come back tomorrow to see."

First, we haven’t collected enough willow bark and mulberry leaves here. Second, since the trap has been set, there is no reason not to check it. Now there is this delicious turtle, so we must come here tomorrow.

Although these things look like a lot, they are actually not that heavy, and isn’t Chen Sanlin here?

When the two men carried the things back, there were already a lot of large dandelions in the mule cart, in addition to some palm fiber.

"You're back." Wang Cuijuan didn't dare to walk too far, as the palm fibers were carried by Rong Xiaoliu by climbing up the tree.

"Well, let's go, Xiaoliu!"

"Here I come, Brother Xu!"

Because the mule cart was full of things, the four of them had to walk back. By the time they saw the village, the sun had already set.

Xiaoman and Xiaohu helped unload the things and began to tell Xu Wenyan what happened in the village today.

"Brother Xu, you don't know how powerful Brother Xingjie was today. He led the villagers to repair the ridges of the fields from house to house. Brother Xingjie asked them to replant some crops whose roots had been washed out.

We will have to go door to door to dig drainage ditches tomorrow."

"Really?" It seemed that Chen Xingjie had taken his words to heart, so it was fine: "Huzi, take the turtle and a chicken from the basket and give them to your sister Dongmei."

"Brother Xu, you guys caught a turtle! I've never eaten one before, what does it taste like?" Xiaohu was anxiously trying to pull out the backpack, but Xu Wenyan stopped him: "Be careful with your hands, you're a real tiger, if this thing bites you, you'll cry all night long."

Xiaohu retracted his hand: "So amazing."

"Okay, go quickly." After Xu Wenyan packed the chicken and turtle, he told Xiaohu how to clean the turtle.

Xu Wenyan also took out one, and kept the remaining three until the day after tomorrow when he went to the county to investigate the situation and then took them over to sell.

Catch the turtle's blood in a small bowl, make a small cut on the edge of its skirt, separate the turtle shell, then take out the three treasures inside the turtle and set them aside for later use.

The three treasures are turtle blood, sea urchin and kidney.

Then take out the yellow fat inside, which is not edible.

After doing all this, scald the turtle in 60-degree boiling water for a few seconds to remove the layer of sand skin on the turtle's body, which is the main reason why the turtle's taste becomes fishy.

Blanch the cut turtle in cold water for a few minutes, then cook it according to your taste. Xu Wenyan chose to stew it, and after the water boiled, simmer it on low heat for half an hour.

Then put the three treasures of the turtle in, and be sure to puncture the turtle's gallbladder, which is also what makes the turtle more delicious.

As soon as the little tiger arrived at Chen Xingjie's house and put down the turtle, without waiting for Chen Xingjie to thank him, he held Chen Xingjie's hand and began to explain what Xu Wenyan said.

"Brother Xingjie, remember this! I have to go back!"

Seeing Xiaohu's greedy look, the couple also smiled.

When Xiaohu returned, Xu Wenyan asked him to call Zhou Jianye and his wife, as well as Zhou Rong.

Although the turtle was very big, with so many people sharing it, each person only had two pieces of meat in the end, and they mainly drank the soup.

This turtle has been stewed for more than half an hour. Xiaohu couldn't wait any longer and took a sip without caring about the burn.

An unfamiliar fresh and fragrant feeling exploded in my mouth. The taste of this soup was even stronger than that stewed with old hen. I wanted to drink more after taking a sip. It was simply intoxicating.

Although Xiaohu was greedy, he knew there was not much in the pot, two small bowls per person at most. He only filled the pot with more after seeing that everyone had finished one bowl.

"Brother Xu, not only is the turtle soup delicious, the meat is tasty too. I want to go with you guys tomorrow." Xiaohu moved a stool and sat next to Xu Wenyan.

"You thought these were rabbits, there were nests of them. These turtles are just rare, so it's good to find so many. By the way, how was your search today?" When Xu Wenyan came back, the thirty people who had helped find wild vegetables were gone.

Xiaoman also finished the last sip of soup in the bowl and replied, "Although the four Huas are women, they are no worse than the men in finding wild vegetables. On the contrary, they find more with the fool.

I have observed that fool, he seems to know a lot, maybe his brain got damaged when he was fleeing, it's not congenital. "

After Xu Wenyan thought about it for a while, he nodded and said, "We have to take it outside to dry tomorrow. Can you guys do that?"

Xu Wenyan looked at Rongrong and the other two who were enjoying their meal.

"Well, uncle, we all know how to tan."

Xu Wenyan is very confident about the children at home and will do whatever they are asked to do.

Afterwards, Xu Wenyan gave Xiaoman another three hundred coins: "This is two days' wages. Give them five coins each. As for that idiot, ask him to come to our house for lunch for three days."

As for how to prepare medicinal materials, Xu Wenyan learned from Zhao Shanhe for a while, and he knew how to do it as long as the operation was not particularly complicated.

As for the licorice root, it needs to be cut into thin slices before drying, and the knife also has its own requirements. Xu Wenyan took a small knife and put the medicinal material on it so that he could cut it more evenly.

While Xu Wenyan was preparing the medicinal materials, Chen Sanlin sat beside him holding a winnowing basket and collected the cut licorice slices.

"Brother Chen, you go to sleep. I can handle it by myself." This job only tests patience. If two people do this job, one of them will be bored.

Chen Sanlin just took Xu Wenyan's hand and kissed his fingers: "It's okay, I want to accompany you."

"Haha, isn't it boring for you to accompany me like this?" Xu Wenyan said with a smile.

"No, I will never be bored when I am with you, as long as it is you."

Hearing his words, Xu Wenyan's face turned red again. You say this guy is dull, but sometimes what he says is true.

...sounds nice.
