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

Early in the morning, Xu Wenyan got up early because he went to bed early yesterday.

I don't feel as tired today as I did yesterday.

After walking into the living room, I saw that in the small room next door, Chen Sanlin had almost half of his body outside, and the small bed was not big enough for three people to sleep.

Seeing this, Xu Wenyan felt a little embarrassed.

While washing up, he remembered brushing his teeth again, but he planned to go to the county today, and the antlers could not be stored, and the fresh ones would be more expensive.

After brushing his teeth with salt, he began to prepare breakfast. Ever since he tasted the meal cooked by Chen Sanlin yesterday, Xu Wenyan vowed never to let that rough man cook again.

But there was really nothing to eat at home, so we could only cook porridge.

Xu Wenyan used this ancient flint very smoothly. As long as he knew the technique, he could light it without much effort.

I saw a pair of bony hands rubbing the flint, sparks fell into the haystack, and the fire gradually became stronger.

I cut three porcini mushrooms and added a few slices of bacon. No need to add salt. After stir-frying for a few times, the aroma came out. The only thing missing was some garlic, shallots, etc.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Sanlin looking at him in the yard.

"Yo, wake up."

Chen Sanlin nodded and walked slowly towards the kitchen. He frowned as he looked at the food in the pot and finally said, "A few years ago, someone in our village ate this kind of mushroom and died the next day."

Seeing Chen Sanlin's worried expression, Xu Wenyan explained, "That's because he didn't cook it well enough. How about this, you just go to someone else's house and buy two cloves of garlic. Garlic will be fine." Xu Wenyan was a little scared when he heard what the villagers said. At this time, he was not sure whether this porcini mushroom looked like the one he saw in the book.

Everything he knew was learned from books. He would read when he had nothing to do every day, or watch some short videos, such as those about beach hunting, survival in the wilderness, and collecting wild fruits and mushrooms. He watched a lot of them.

Beautiful, love watching it!

Now this is where you need to learn. It’s never too late to read books when the time comes.

Try hard to recall what you can always think of.

In less than half a minute, Chen Sanlin came back with a few garlics, exactly one pound, and paid five cents.

Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin, who was still wearing a thin shirt and was still a little dewy in the autumn morning. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was better to be stronger.

Throwing two cloves of garlic in, it was still white. To be on the safe side, Xu Wenyan stir-fried it for a while: "Go call Xiaohua and Xiaodong to eat."

"Oh."

The two little guys smelled the aroma of meat as soon as they got up. They quickly washed up and sat down at the table. After Xu Wenyan put the dish in the middle, Chen Sanlin came out of the kitchen holding a bowl.

"Chen Sanlin, are you going to the county today?" Xu Wenyan picked up a piece of porcini, and it was just as described in the short video, fresh, tender, smooth and slightly juicy. A piece of mushroom with a piece of bacon between it was absolutely amazing!

"Well, do you want to go?" Chen Sanlin first took a sip of the porridge. The rice was cooked very soft, so the aroma was stronger. Then he took a bite of the bacon. Chen Sanlin just speeded up his hands. Even the poisonous mushrooms tasted unusually good.

Even the adults were like this, not to mention the two children. After seeing the two adults pick up their chopsticks, they couldn't wait to taste it. After all, they could smell the fragrance in the house.

Xu Wenyan shook his head helplessly as he looked at the way these three people ate. It was just a simple stir-fry and they could eat so deliciously.

This reminded him of the picky kid in his uncle's family. He was so upset that he had to eat pig's trotters on his birthday and kept making a fuss. That was in the 1990s, and Xu Wenyan had never tasted pork, but he still disliked it.

However, as a chef, seeing that they all liked the food he cooked, it still satisfied his vanity a little.

"Well, I'll go with you."

"Is there anything missing?" Chen Sanlin began to feel around his body, then took out five hundred coins and gave them to Xu Wenyan. In his eyes, he already regarded Xu Wenyan as his wife. Although they did not have any feelings for each other, his mother had instructed him to do so and it was written in black and white on the marriage certificate. Even if they were just living together, they would still be a family in the future.

Xu Wenyan also took it quickly: "Yes."

After the meal, Chen Sanlin put the venison into a backpack and covered it with deer skin, leaving half a piece of ribs and the deer penis at home.

Xu Wenyan took the pair of deer antlers, gave some instructions to Chen Xiaohua and went out. They had cooked a lot of porridge in the morning, so they could just heat it up and eat it at noon.

Following Chen Sanlin, who was carrying all the things, they came to a wooden house in the northeast of the village. Before they got close, they saw an ox cart on the side of the road. The ox was pulling the cart and it looked quite strong.

"Uncle Wen." Chen Sanlin called the old man who was feeding the cows. Wen Qiang turned his head and started chatting with Chen Sanlin.

Xu Wenyan was looking at a person in the car. It was Zhao Tiezhu, with whom he bargained yesterday. Zhao Tiezhu did not say anything when he saw Xu Wenyan. He continued to sit in the car with his eyes narrowed.

After Chen Sanlin put away his things, Xiaohu finally arrived: "I'm sorry, Brother Sanlin, Uncle Wen, my grandma had a lot of things to tell me, so I'm a little late."

"You're so slow. If it were me, Old Wen, you shouldn't have waited." Zhao Tiezhu folded his arms and leaned against the wooden board inside the ox cart, looking at Xiaohu with squinted eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay. Sit down and we'll be leaving soon." Uncle Wen smiled kindly, tried to smooth things over and urged everyone to get in the car.

It takes two or three hours to get from here to the county even by ox cart, so it is not easy to make the trip.

The villagers went to the county in groups. When they came back late, it was always safer with more people. They would just pick up some branches on the way and burn them as torches.

Chen Sanlin and Xu Wenyan sat on one side, Xu Wenyan sat outside, opposite Xiaohu. Originally Chen Sanlin wanted Xu Wenyan to sit inside for safety, but Xu Wenyan refused. He looked at Zhao Tiezhu's face and wanted to beat him up.

It’s not that I can’t beat him now.

Maybe you can beat him up in a few months, there's no rush.

Moreover, you can enjoy the ancient scenery while sitting outside. Apart from anything else, the air quality is extremely good, far beyond the modern comparison.

Take a deep breath and feel your soul sublime.

Looking at the distribution of plants along the way, Xu Wenyan was roughly certain that this was the Sichuan-Shu area or Shaanxi. He found a lot of wild yam withered stamens that had bloomed and withered on the trees, as well as many withered ferns.

It took five hours just to sit in the carriage. When Wen Qiang said it would take more than two hours, I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to really take this long. It was really a torture.

Looking at the ancient city wall standing in front of us, it is really interesting.

Walking into the county town, Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan and said, "Do you want to come with us or buy it yourself?"

Xu Wenyan waved his hand: "You guys take care of yourselves, I'll do it myself."

After the four of them said goodbye, Zhao Tiezhu said to Chen Sanlin: "Sanlin, don't you really treat him as your wife? Although there are examples of men marrying men in this county, don't take it seriously. I don't think he will live long. Marry again as soon as possible."

Chen Sanlin just looked at Zhao Tiezhu and ignored him.

This was just a task assigned to him by his mother, and he just followed the marriage his mother arranged for him.

After all, his mother is the only one in this world who loves him.
