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

The sheep are now able to produce milk.

Xu Wenyan gave some to Wang Dongmei, so that not only the child could drink it, but the adults could also take it to replenish their body.

There are almost no relatives from the past in the village now, which makes Xu Wenyan feel much more peaceful.

I still remember when I first arrived, whether it was the Zhang family, the eldest branch of the Chen family, or the people in the village, they all treated me with hostility.

It’s better to be alone, there’s no need to have too many people around you.

Because they had to deal with the tavern, Xu Wenyan went to the shelter early today with Chen Sanlin.

I will also bring them some food and condiments this time.

"daughter in law."

Chen Sanlin took Xu Wenyan's hand and squeezed it.

"What's wrong?" Xu Wenyan got up early and was still a little sleepy. He answered with squinted eyes.

"I want to go hunting. Now it's autumn, when there are the most prey. If I don't hunt, I'll miss the good season." This is the only hobby Chen Sanlin has.

I've been staying with Xu Wenyan these days to help him.

He has almost forgotten his own value. I must perform well in front of him.

Xu Wenyan nodded indifferently. There were enough people now. The new store was just opposite Qing'an Hall. He would take Xiaoman there. If it didn't work, he could ask Xiaosun and others to help.

"Do you want to take Xiaohu and Uncle Er with you?"

Chen Sanlin leaned on Xu Wenyan's shoulder and rubbed his head: "I want to take you there."

"I'm busy these few days and I've paid for the restaurant." Xu Wenyan leaned his head against Chen Sanlin's and rubbed it against him.

"By the way, we still need to give the restaurant a name. Brother Chen, what do you think would sound good?"

Obviously, naming is Chen Sanlin's blind spot, but Xu Wenyan's idea of ​​naming doesn't seem to work either.

What are the names of the animals at home? Black Bear, Ruhua, Xiaohong...

Chen Sanlin thought about it seriously and simply hugged Xu Wenyan's waist.

"How about a three-word drink?"

This is obviously a restaurant name formed by taking away one character from each person.

Xu Wenyan nodded slightly: "You prefer this, I also want to call it 'Dragon Sucking Water'."

"Well, this is fine for me."

"alright."

When we arrived, it was already daybreak, and the red beans on the mountainside could be picked in another month.

Walking up the stone road in front of the house, you can already see them reclaiming the wasteland. There is a large piece of sand in front of the shelter.

Beyond that was a dense thorn bush.

Half a month later, the thorn bushes over there were cleared, a fire was lit on the stove, and this place that had accompanied Xu Wenyan for a year came back to life.

"Xu Wenyan." Zhan Laowu saw someone coming and put down his hoe and walked over.

"Holding a hoe is much cooler than holding that broken knife." Xu Wenyan put down the backpack: "There are some corn and salt in it."

Zhan Laowu asked someone to carry the backpack in: "Thank you, we live well here."

At least you don’t have to go hungry, and you don’t have to worry about your straw mat being snatched away at night.

"It's nothing. You got all this through your own labor." Xu Wenyan said calmly, "I came here to ask you to do something else."

"You say." Zhan Laowu led the two of them into the shelter and sat down at the small wooden table.

"The reeds have grown, and I need you to pick more reed stalks. Be careful not to break them.

Then cut it into sections, the length according to..."

Xu Wenyan found a stick on the ground and broke it into pieces about ten centimeters long, as long as it was longer than the cup.

"Okay, leave this matter to us." Zhan Laowu understood their current situation. Even if Xu Wenyan asked them to do hard labor, they would have to do it.

"Then we need to cut bamboo. I need a lot of bamboo tubes. Please note that you should cut slightly older bamboos. Also, don't cut them too densely."

The bamboo forest behind the pond is very large, and there are many bamboo shoots every year. They grow fast, so there is basically no need to worry about the bamboo being consumed.

"Well, I've got it all written down. Anything else?"

Xu Wenyan shook his head: "That's all for now." They only had about fifty people, and if there were more they wouldn't be able to make it.

After giving them instructions, Xu Wenyan took Chen Sanlin to the back of the mountain.

"Brother Chen, if you want to set a trap later, tell Zhan Laowu and the others in advance. It would be best if they follow you."

"Well, what are we doing in the back hills?"

Xu Wenyan picked up a stick and said, "The walnuts and chestnuts are almost ripe, and there are also mountain peppers. I want to check them."

Not much mountain pepper was picked before. Mountain pepper tastes better when it is pickled together with kimchi. Xu Wenyan did not pick too much at that time, and he didn’t know how the star anise would grow this year.

Chestnuts can be made into sugar-roasted chestnuts.

On the streets of Fengxian County, Xu Wenyan had never seen anyone selling sugar-roasted chestnuts. This business was too risky and required a large amount of white sugar.

There is no need for Xu Wenyan to tell you how precious white sugar is.

When they reached the downhill slope, Chen Sanlin went down first, turned back and stretched out his hand: "Hold my hand."

Xu Wenyan just smiled and held the pair of big hands with thick calluses.

Looking at the person in front of him, Xu Wenyan was thinking that Chen Sanlin sometimes really liked to treat himself like a child.

"Brother Chen, stand still." Xu Wenyan simply jumped onto Chen Sanlin's back and waved the stick in the air unscrupulously.

Chen Sanlin jogged down the hill, and because he was at a high point, Xu Wenyan could see everything clearly.

The chestnut thorns are still green and the walnut shells have not fallen off yet, so it looks like we still have to wait for a while. Some of the mountain pepper is turning yellow, and the harvest season will be here soon.

After checking the situation of this precious land, Xu Wenyan asked Chen Sanlin to put it down, and the two continued to walk down the mountain.

At that time, Xu Wenyan checked the surroundings of the forest, but he didn't know what it looked like below.

Logically speaking, with such large chestnut and walnut trees here, there is no reason why there shouldn't be small trees growing around them.

Walking a little further down, Xu Wenyan could hear the sound of flowing water. In fact, you could see many chestnut trees here, and they grew on both sides of the stream.

It's growing very well.

But because the two men didn't bring machetes, they gave up. On the way back, Xu Wenyan went to see the large area of ​​grape vines.

I came a little late last year, but early this year, and the grape vines are full of tiny green fruits.

Xu Wenyan touched it and it was still hard. He would have to wait until the frost falls at least.

It seems that this batch of wine will not be sold until at least around the Spring Festival.

The two men went back, taking machetes and armor with them. Zhan Laowu saw what they were wearing and didn't ask anything.

He still knows what he should know and what he shouldn't know.

With this equipment, the two of them went down through the jungle.

The chestnuts that had fallen down before have actually grown up, and there are many small saplings in the cracks of the rocks along the bank of the stream.

After clearing away the trees and thorns that were in the way, I'm sure there will be a good harvest of chestnuts this year.
