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

After everyone has gathered.

Because Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin had to go to the shelter again, they asked Xiaohu and Xiaoman to take two more people.

"Sister Hua, just follow my aunt, she will teach you how to deal with it."

In fact, rural women are no worse than men and they are very efficient at their work.

Since there is no one to help watch over it today, we have to take this old mule with us. While we were still going down the mountain, Xu Wenyan saw a lot of mushrooms growing in the woods.

Those red mushrooms and blue-headed mushrooms are particularly eye-catching.

"Brother Chen, we won't go back tonight." Xu Wenyan wanted to pick the medicine, but he also didn't want to miss the mushroom.

If you leave so many mushrooms unpicked, you'll probably be punished by God.

The mushrooms grow relatively late in the mountains here, but Xu Wenyan can already imagine how beautifully the mushrooms are growing on the mountain behind the shelter.

After settling the old mule, Chen Sanlin went to check the trap as usual, and Xu Wenyan walked towards the place where the rotten wood was placed before without saying a word.

I picked up a clean dustpan and could already see the wood ears and shiitake mushrooms on the wood.

Xu Wenyan was delighted, as there were mushrooms growing on almost every wooden stick, and both wood ear and shiitake mushrooms could be sold at a good price.

Just with this rough estimate, there are at least two or three taels of silver.

After picking all the ears off the wood, Xu Wenyan moved some wooden sticks to continue cultivating the mycelium. Taking advantage of the suitable temperature in the past few days, the mycelium will grow faster.

Before Xu Wenyan could stop, he saw patches of chanterelles on the slope.

The chanterelles were huddled together, like yellow flowers blooming in the ground. Xu hurriedly put down the winnowing basket and walked up the hillside carrying the basket on his back.

You can pick up a large piece of chanterelles at a time. Xu Wenyan has a habit of picking mushrooms. He will clean them first, and he will carry a small knife with him every time he goes to pick mushrooms.

The picked mushrooms were cleaned on the spot. You have to know that once the mushroom caps are stained with mud, it will be several times more difficult to clean them.

The taste will also be affected.

This is the summary of what he has eaten over the years.

Although it looks slow, it saves the time of going back to clean up, and you don’t have to worry about anyone snatching it from you in the deep mountains, right?

Chen Sanlin came to help Xu Wenyan after checking the trap. Perhaps the wild boar's reaction yesterday was too great, and there were few signs of animal activities around.

"Brother Chen, take the dustpan over there back, then go cut willow branches and dig up more willow roots." Chen Sanlin's hands were not that delicate.

If you ask him to process mushrooms, he will be too slow, so it would be better to let him do some easier work.

Chen Sanlin held the dustpan in one hand: "Okay, then you be careful. If you have any problems, call me and I will come right over."

"Yes! Got it!!"

I have to say, hunting in the mountains is a really relaxing thing. It would be even more comfortable if you could listen to some music at this time.

Xu Wenyan hummed a tune while picking mushrooms with his left hand and processing them with a knife in his right hand.

After a while, I became familiar with it and my efficiency improved a lot.

Xu Wenyan spent the whole morning filling two backpacks with mushrooms. When he returned home at noon, he had already raised the small earthen kiln.

After tearing the mushrooms into strips, place them in an earthen kiln and bake them over low heat to dry out the moisture.

"Brother Chen, where did you get the fish?"

While I was busy in the yard, I saw Chen Shanlin coming down the gravel road carrying two fish tied with willow bark.

"I cast the net down yesterday, wanting to give it a try." Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan expectantly, but he didn't seem to want to praise him.

"Wife, I'll grill some fish for you at noon."

Xu Wenyan frowned, thinking about the last time Chen Sanlin cooked...

Oh! When he first came, the fried venison was so salty and tasteless.

Then Xu Wenyan looked at him in disbelief: "Are you serious?"

Hearing his wife say this, Chen Sanlin also lost his temper, and his eyes immediately became lost.

"Hey, hey! I'm just kidding. Brother Chen, the food you cook is definitely the best in the world." Xu Wenyan stood up suddenly, walked forward and took Chen Sanlin's arm.

If a puppy feels wronged, you need to coax him quickly.

Chen Sanlin raised his head slightly and met Xu Wenyan's eyes: "Really..."

"Tsk, it's a must, who is our Brother Chen, go quickly, I'm hungry."

It took Xu Wenyan a lot of effort to clean these two large baskets of mushrooms, then he arranged them and put them in the earthen kiln. By the time he came back in the afternoon, they were almost done.

At this time, Chen Sanlin's fish was also cooked. Xu Wenyan tasted a small bite cautiously and said, "It's OK, Brother Chen. It's quite delicious."

Compared to the previous plate of meat, this grilled fish tastes really good.

"I can't cook, but I can grill meat. I used to grill meat myself when I was hungry in the woods." Chen Sanlin ate the fish head and tail, and gave the fish body to Xu Wenyan.

Then he took the grilled fish from Xu Wenyan's hand and continued eating.

Xu Wenyan looked at the fish in his hand, his heartbeat quickened slightly: "You guy..." Although he really wanted to say 'Don't take care of me like this'.

But Xu Wenyan never likes to spoil other people's fun.

If others are nice to him, he will only be twice as nice to others.

Not long after the meal, the two of them started to get busy again. There were not many opportunities to make money, so if they were a little tired now, they would earn more later.

With his familiarity with the terrain of the mountains, Xu Wenyan found mushrooms particularly easily. He picked all varieties. The more diverse the mushrooms were, the more delicious they tasted.

I have to say that I am unlucky. I have never seen a single Ganoderma lucidum in such a large mountain.

I currently have nearly fifty taels of silver in my hand, and after receiving wages these two days, I still have more than forty taels.

Push aside the dead leaves; the mushrooms underneath the leaves grow best.

Xu Wenyan was thinking about buying the four acres of wasteland next to the factory. At two taels of silver per acre, the price was quite reasonable.

These lands have been made into ponds, specifically for breeding crayfish and clams. Both of these products are relatively easy to breed. In the future, the family will definitely not be able to take care of the household chores.

I was thinking about finding someone to help look after the pond and the factory. There are offices in the factory, where I can sleep, set up a stove, and cook.

As for this candidate, Xu Wenyan still needs to consider it slowly.

Before he knew it, Xu Wenyan had filled two more backpacks. Although there were still many mushrooms, this was all he could do today.

"Brother Chen!"

It was obviously unrealistic for him to transport these back by himself.

Chen Sanlin arrived quickly. It took them more than half an hour to process the two baskets of mushrooms. The mushrooms in the earthen kiln could be harvested. After the water evaporated, less than one basket of fresh mushrooms was left.

No wonder dried mushrooms are much more expensive.

I really bent my back for half the day today, and Xu Wenyan boiled two large buckets of hot water to take a bath.

The bathtub is really too big, so I just left it here and didn’t take it back.

All the soaps made from soapberry were taken away. Xu Wenyan picked some roses and put them in a bucket. The petals were floating on the surface of the water in the bucket.

Just when I was testing the water temperature, Chen Sanlin came in and stood by.

"daughter in law......"

"Let's go together."

"......Oh...ah?!" Originally thought Xu Wenyan would refuse, this, this is more unreal than a dream, Chen Sanlin said: "Really?"

Xu Wenyan rolled his eyes at him: "Fake."

"No, no, you've already said it." Chen Sanlin looked a little anxious and took off his clothes while speaking.

Although they were both old, Xu Wenyan couldn't help but sigh when he saw those pounds of meat again.

We are both men, how can there be such a big difference...

"You lie down inside."

"Okay." Chen Sanlin couldn't suppress the smile on his face and immediately leaned back in the bathtub and waited.

The blush on Xu Wenyan's face slowly faded, and her cold toes slowly stepped into the water. The temperature of the bath water instantly spread throughout her body through her toes.

Lying in Chen Sanlin's arms, with her head drooping on his shoulder, she slowly relaxed her body.

The only downside is that the back feels a bit...hard.

"Tsk, be honest."

Although Chen Sanlin nodded repeatedly, his hands were still restless. He first hugged Xu Wenyan's waist, and after he relaxed, he began to move his hands all over his body.

A wonderful feeling came over him, and Xu Wenyan stood up suddenly, then squatted down facing Chen Sanlin, stroking his head with both hands, with the corners of his mouth raised evilly.

"Man, you are playing with fire." Xu Wenyan's lips kissed Chen Sanlin's neck, then she opened her mouth slightly and sucked from light to heavy.

The bathroom was filled with mist.

After a while, there were slight gasps.

Accompanied by the chirping of insects and the sound of late summer wind.

Another restless night.
