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

Zhan Laowu brought two men with him and carried the bamboo tubes and reed stalks up.

Xu Wenyan made sure the backpack at the back was secured, and then the two of them headed back home.

After arriving home, Xiaohu was a little scared when he saw the eels in the basket.

"Brother Xu, this yellow eel really looks a lot like a snake." Xiaohu had naturally eaten yellow eels before. He didn't think it was a big deal before, but he became afraid of it after being bitten on the butt by a snake.

Xu Wenyan poured a basket of eels into a large bucket and picked out some small ones for Chen Dong and Rongrong to put into the rice field.

"If you're afraid, don't look at it. Go skin the frog." Xu Wenyan brought a basin of eels to the small stool and began to process the eels.

"Xiaohua, Zheng Yuan, go and invite the village chief and his family to come over for dinner tonight, as well as Uncle Zeng's family."

Zeng Guoqin's wife works in Xu Wenyan's shop, leaving only a grown man at home to take care of two children. Most men are careless.

"Okay." Zheng Yuan answered loudly, pulling Chen Xiaohua and running.

She was originally very sad about her parents passing away, but she didn't expect to be able to eat so many delicious foods at Xu Wenyan's house and play with Chen Xiaohua and the others.

Zheng Yuan suddenly didn't want to leave.

Anyway, she was just a little girl and couldn't eat much, so Xu Wenyan was kept.

After removing the fishy smell, cutting the eel is also a technical job. The eel has only one main spine, so use the knife to cut along the spine all the way to the tail.

Then lift the knife up from the top of the spur and cut all the way down, and the complete bone spur will be removed.

Then cut the eel meat into sections and stir-fry it.

Looking at Xiaohu who was dealing with frogs, Xu Wenyan said, "Tiger."

Xiaohu looked up at him: "What's wrong, Brother Xu?"

"Let's go and call the two sisters Yuyin to come and eat together."

As the eldest brother, he is really worried about it.

Xiaohu said happily: "Okay."

We have renovated the house, so it can accommodate many people. Besides, when eating frog hotpot, it will be lively when there are many people.

Xu Wenyan thought about it carefully and decided that this dish could not be served at Qing'an Restaurant for the time being.

Looking at the entire Feng County, only his place grows so many peppers.

People of this era don’t really eat spicy food, so the food at Qing’an Pavilion is a bit spicier.

Since Xu Wenyan's peppers are not yet ripe, they cannot be sold on a large scale.

Now I can only enjoy it myself.

After less than half an hour, all the people who were called arrived.

There were only two dishes on the entire table. The big pot in the middle was full of peppers, with frog legs, cabbage, potato chips and other side dishes floating in it.

Fried yellow eel is much simpler, it only contains yellow eel and green pepper.

In order to relieve the spiciness, Xu Wenyan prepared a bucket of sweet goat milk so that he could eat to his heart's content today.

Even Zhou Jianye had never seen such a scene.

Looking at the big pot full of peppers, the whole house was filled with the rich smell of peppers.

After little Chen Zhao was coaxed to sleep, he was locked in the inner room. The air was really choking.

"Wen Yan, will it taste good with so many peppers?" They seldom eat peppers, and even if they do, they only put one or two.

And eel is not something that tastes very good.

"Second uncle, you guys have finished it. It must be delicious." Xu Wenyan took the lead in picking up a frog leg with chopsticks.

The delicate and firm texture left Xu Wenyan with an endless aftertaste, and the spicy taste was even more unique. He hadn’t eaten something so delicious in a long time.

Just think about what kind of bird-tasting food you’ve eaten this year.

Zhou Jianye also tasted the frog: "Hiss—" He had just put it in his mouth, but the chili already made his tongue taste a little spicy.

But it’s strange that after taking one bite, I want to take a second bite.

This spicy feeling is really too addictive.

Zhou Jianye didn't have high expectations when he tried the stir-fried eel, but after taking a bite, he found that there was no fishy smell at all.

It's full of the aroma of eel and chili.

The chili pepper was so strong that everyone had to eat a bite of frog meat after drinking two sips of goat milk.

Just when Xu Wenyan was eating happily, Chen Sanlin stopped him and said, "Wife, don't eat too much."

"Why? You ate a lot too."

Chen Sanlin was silent for a while.

If you eat too much, we will both suffer. If you eat less, neither of us will suffer.

In the end, Chen Sanlin didn't dare to say it out loud, as his wife would definitely be angry.

By the end of the meal, everyone had a painful expression on their face and kept breathing heavily.

Painful and happy.

For the next half month, Chen Sanlin took Xu Wenyan and Xiaohu to hunt in the mountains.

The harvest in the first few days was pretty good, but the prey became more alert as time went on.

The most common harvest these days is wild boar, followed by fish.

The fish caught in the pond were entirely based on quantity. Xu Wenyan took the extra fish to the county and sold them, earning several taels of silver in total.

Today Xu Wenyan pulled a horse-drawn carriage and took Chen Sanlin, Xiaohu and Xiaoman to Xujia Village.

Xu Wenyan had been thinking about the osmanthus flowers in Xujia Village for a long time, and estimated that they were ripe by now.

"Brother Xu, I haven't been to Xujia Village much. I just took a look when the road was being repaired these days. I think the location is not as good as our Jixiang Village."

Xu Wenyan sat in front of him and leaned over, leaning against Xiaohu's chest and grabbing his ear: "I lived in Xujia Village when I was a child, and you are still trying to pull me down."

"Ah, Brother Xu, I didn't mean that."

Xu Wenyan let go of his hand and smiled: "Tell me, how are you and Yuyin doing?"

Facing Xu Wenyan's gossipy eyes, Xiaohu panicked: "What, what happened?"

Xiaoman and Chen Sanlin sensed the gossip and pricked up their ears to listen.

Xu Wenyan stood up and turned to look at him: "Tsk, tell us, we're talking about you not having a wife."

"Brother Xiaoman hasn't married yet!"

Xu Wenyan interrupted him: "Don't worry about Xiaoman, there must be someone who is trying to get her. Tell me what's going on with you."

Xiaohu and Yuyin have been hanging out a lot these days, so even when Xu Wenyan made delicious food, he couldn't be moved immediately.

"How far has it progressed?" Xu Wenyan asked with a smile, "Hand in hand?"

"I think it's a kiss." Xiaoman said.

"Could it be that it has already..." Chen Sanlin asked suspiciously.

Xiaohu couldn't help but shrink back: "Brother Sanlin, Brother Xu said it was a joke, but why did you..."

"Leniency to those who confess; severity to those who resist. If you don't tell the truth, I'll let the dogs loose." Xu Wenyan had to get the words out of this brat today.

Helplessly, Xiaohu began to stammer, "I only... I touched her hand once. The day before yesterday, I was pecked by a goose, and Yuyin took my hand and put medicine on it."

"No, brother, stand up! It's been two months and you haven't even held my hand." Xu Wenyan held his forehead.

"Failure." Xiaoman shook his head.

"What a failure." Chen Sanlin added.

"Oh, please forgive me, my three brothers. I will try my best."

It’s not like Xiaohu hasn’t chased others before, but the result the first time he did it wasn’t very good.

There were two handsome guys standing next to him, and the limelight was stolen by Xiaoman and Xu Wenyan.

Chen Sanlin has a good figure and is tall.

He is really difficult.
