Restart the Disaster of Another World

After the two drove home, they unloaded the cart of spices they had bought. Jing Yao asked Wen Qun to go back and look at the recipe he had copied, and then he went to return the car and then went to the butcher's house to get the half pork and pig intestines he wanted.

When Jing Yao arrived at the butcher Wen Luo's house, the meat had already been weighed. He was very curious about why Jing Yao bought so much meat, but he did not ask.

Wen Luo's family has been butchers for generations. Every day they slaughter a pig and take it to the town to sell. If villagers want to buy meat, they will go to his house early and buy it directly. Not only is it one or two cents cheaper than in town, sometimes they will even give him some bones or something else if they have a good relationship with him.

Jing Yao had never come to his house to buy pork. When they met in town occasionally, he would only buy about one or two pounds.

"Uncle, please take a look at the money." Half a pig of pork weighing more than 100 pounds, with fat and lean meat, is considered a fat pig in this era without feed.

"Why don't you weigh it again?" Wen Luo took it and counted it, calculated the price, and confirmed that it was correct. He felt that Jing Yao was a sincere person and someone worth making friends with, so he asked his son to drive the car out to help transport it to him.

"No need. I'll go back first, uncle. Business is booming!" Jing Yao didn't bother any more. He knew Wen Luo, who had a good reputation. He never shortchanged the weight of meat when selling it in town. There was no need to make an acquaintance of his in the village.

"Well, Daping, drive well." Seeing that he insisted, Wen Luo didn't say anything. He gave his son a few instructions and continued to do other things.

"Okay, Dad." Daping is an honest man. He has learned 80% to 90% of the skills from his father, but he is not very good at speaking, so he seems a bit honest.

"Let's go!" After Jing Yao jumped on the car, Daping drove the ox cart away.

When they got home, the two of them moved the things down and put them in Jing Yao's backyard. Wen Qun wanted to help but was stopped by Jing Yao.

"Qun Qun, don't move, we'll do it." Because the pork had not been cleaned yet, Jing Yao didn't want his young husband to do it.

Daping was shocked when he saw Wen Qun, but when he thought that Wen Qun was already engaged to Jing Yao, he didn't say anything.

After the two of them had moved all the things, Jing Yao found a basin and poured out the intestines. He discovered that there were a lot, more than enough for a pig.

"Why is it so much? Is this too little?" Jing Yao asked Wen Luo about the weight before giving him the money, so he would not make a mistake.

"Dad didn't take the money from you. Usually no one buys this thing, it's just given as a gift. Since you asked for half a pig, Dad gave you a little more." Daping didn't care about this. Anyway, his father said that Jing Yao was a good person and worthy of friendship, so he felt that it was okay to give him a little more.

Jing Yao just nodded and said nothing. If he made this thing, he would have to deal with Wen Luo, and he had other plans, so it could be considered a win-win cooperation.

"Brother Daping, have some water." Wen Qun brought out two bowls of water, handed one to Daping first, and prepared to give the other to Jing Yao.

Jing Yao didn't take it, and shook his head, "My hands are dirty."

Wen Qun thought that Jing Yao had been running all day and hadn't drunk any water, so he must be thirsty, so he fed him some water, and Jing Yao drank a few sips of the water.

Daping felt that he was a bit of an eyesore there, so he drank the water in two gulps and left.

Jing Yao sent him to the door and saw him driving away in the carriage. He then closed the gate and went in.

Wen Qun realized belatedly that he had done something extraordinary, but he was too embarrassed to think about it. He asked the person who came in.

“Should I wash this out?

Seeing Wen Qun’s red face, Jing Yao knew that he was embarrassed, and did not dare to tease him. He quickly said, “Yes, I will wash it, and you go prepare the spices.”

Jing Yao first fetched some water to wash his hands, then washed the meat roughly, picked out a few sharp knives from the space, roughly divided the meat, then removed the bones, and divided the meat into those for stuffing and those for making bacon. For making bacon, just cut it into large pieces and arrange them neatly in a large basin. For stuffing, a lot of the meat was minced meat, which was placed directly on the large chopping board. After doing all this, he went to see Wen Qun.

Wen Qun has already seen the recipe and knows what to do. He is now frying the spices. Many of them are ready-made products that he bought directly. They need powder, so he has to come back and process them himself. He needs to stir-fry them on low heat first, and then grind them into fine powder.

Wen Qun was watching the fire all the time, fearing that it would be too big and not stir-fry well, but a low fire would require a very slow process, and the food had to be simmered as soon as possible after frying, otherwise it would be difficult to simmer when it cooled down.

Wen Qun only gets small quantities of good quality ones. If he wants more, he has to wait for Jing Yao to come because he is very strong.

Jing Yao looked at Wen Qun picking up the Chinese prickly ash and went over to take it. “I’ll do it.”

Wen Qun made way and went to the stove to cook something else.

Not many kinds of spices were bought, mainly because there were not many kinds in the town. The others were all found by Jing Yao in the space. He also asked the shopkeeper about some kinds of spices of this era. He deleted and reduced some of the spices that were not available before finalizing the recipe. So it didn't take much time, except that it was best to keep the chili peppers, which had a somewhat choking smell when fried alone.

"You sit down and take a rest first, we will do the rest later." Jing Yao looked at the little husband who was choked and had tears in his eyes, and the tenderness in his eyes almost melted. How could he be so cute, he didn't say a word even when he was uncomfortable, and he was so hardworking and never complained, as if he really asked him to do the work.

"It's okay, it will be fine in a while." Wen Qun sneezed slightly.

Jing Yao didn't let him continue. He pulled the man aside, got some water for him to wash his face, and was relieved when he saw that he looked much better.

"Let's take our time. There's no rush. I didn't ask you to do anything in the first place. I'll be happy if you just watch from the side." Jing Yao took out some pastries and snacks for Wen Qun, and asked him to take a break while he went to pick up some peppers.

Wen Qun refused, but he couldn't help Jing Yao, so he could only stand aside.

Jing Yao was very strong, and after the peppers were fried until crispy, he finished cooking in a short while. He took out all the spices, put them in a large bowl according to the proportions, and mixed them evenly. The marinade was ready.

The next step was to spread it evenly on the meat. Wen Qun was given this task. Jing Yao was afraid that he would get his hands burned, so he put two layers of film gloves on him. This made Wen Qun more curious about the gloves than the spices.

Jing Yao took out the meat for making sausages, cut it up, took out half of it, added seasoning and mixed it evenly, then left it to marinate.

Then he added the sweet ingredients and mixed them well, then went to help Wen Qun. In addition to the pork, he also had some other pheasants and rabbits. Although the quantity was not large, these things were so good that he treated them as an experiment.

The meat needs to be marinated for a day or two before it can be smoked. This is the end of the process. The next step is to stuff the sausages. This job requires more precision and takes a longer time, because Wen Luo has too many large and small intestines, and Jing Yao has also prepared a lot of meat. Even though the sausages only require small intestines, they still stuffed them for half an hour without stopping.

After stuffing the sausages, Jing Yao refused to let Wen Qun do anything else. He called him into the house to rest while he cleaned up.

Wen Qun thought that everything was almost done, so he didn't agree. He just went into the house and added more fire to provide hot water for Jing Yao.

The two of them worked for more than an hour. Jing Yao was afraid that Wen Qun was too tired, so he didn't let him cook. He put the noodles in a pot himself. Wen Qun prepared the base sauce, and the two of them ate.

It was already very late, and Jing Yao had to send Wen Qun back. He did not delay, after all, he had to go and tell his father-in-law that he would be needed tomorrow, and he was afraid that Wen Yu would be unhappy if he was late.

Wen Qun didn't want to leave. He liked being with Jing Yao. Even if he was asked to do more work tomorrow, he would be willing to do it. But seeing that Jing Yao was not reluctant to leave at all, he felt aggrieved and unhappy.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Jing Yao locked the door and saw Wen Qun frowning and looking at him aggrievedly.

"No." Wen Qun couldn't say those words, so he turned and left.

Wen Qun thought he was looking like, "Don't pay attention to me, I'm leaving." But in Jing Yao's eyes, his whole body exuded an attitude of, "I'm unhappy, come and comfort me."

He stepped forward and held Wen Qun's hand, "Are you unhappy because you have to go back?"

When Wen Qun was with him, he was always shy and gentle. It had been a long time since he saw him so slow and dull. This was his state before he met Sheng Jingyao.

Wen Qun couldn't lie, nor did he want to say it out loud, so he could only remain silent and lower his head.

Jing Yao knew what he was struggling with and rubbed his head. "Do you remember what I told you about doing business?"

Although Wen Qun didn't know why he suddenly brought this up, he still nodded and replied, "I remember."

"The road construction issue was put on hold for a while. It's a major event concerning our village and we can't stay out of it. Especially in the future, I'll need the help of villagers and the head of the village to do a lot of things. I quite like this village, especially after meeting you." Jing Yao had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes with outstanding facial features. When he smiled at people, it was easy for them to blush and their hearts beat faster, especially when he looked at people with tenderness on his face.

Wen Qun really liked this and his face became red when he was stared at, but he couldn't bear to look away.

"The road has been repaired, and now is the end of the year, everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, so I want to take this opportunity to test out what I want to make. After the New Year, I will start construction. During this period, I can't do without your help. Although we are fiancée, we are not married after all. If you are gossiped about, I will definitely be happy. Then we have to abide by etiquette and at least let everyone think so, so that we can keep seeing each other. This is called sustainable development, do you understand?"

To be honest, Jing Yao didn't particularly care about those empty words, but he couldn't ignore the fact that his father-in-law and brother-in-law were scholars. He couldn't let everyone think that Wen Qun of the Wen family was a child without rules. Although this era was relatively open, it was not as open as the modern era. They had to abide by what they should abide by. When they didn't have absolute strength, it was not wise to make themselves look different from others. He had to do it so that everyone would admit that he was not a height that ordinary people could climb. In this way, everyone would naturally look up to him.

Wen Qun nodded. He seemed to understand, but also seemed a little confused. However, he knew that Jing Yao's ideas were very big, and he just had to follow him closely and not be left behind.

As the two talked more, they felt closer. When they walked to the main road where there were many people, Wen Qun also tried to say hello to those uncles, aunts and uncles. They were very surprised. It was the first time in all these years that they saw Wen Qun so outgoing.

Jing Yao looked at Wen Qun who was sticking his head out little by little to explore this world like a curious cat, and thought he was extremely cute.

When they arrived at the Wen family, the Wen family had just finished their meal. The father and son were drinking tea and chatting. When they saw the two people come back, Wen Yu didn't say anything, but Wen Xing invited them to sit down.

"Uncle, I still have a lot of work to do over there, so Qun Qun may have to go over to help in the next few days." Jing Yao didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.

"Why do you have to ask Qun Qun to do something? Since you are so busy, why don't you just ask someone else to do it?" Wen Yu was once again shocked by Jing Yao's shamelessness.

"That won't do. This is a secret recipe I got by accident. Now I'm still trying to make the product. If someone learns it, my business will fail." Jing Yao had made up this excuse a long time ago to guard against his brother-in-law. He said it as soon as Jing Yao asked.

"This..." Wen Yu was speechless.

What shocked them even more was Jing Yao's doing. Secret recipes are something that every family would keep hidden, but Jing Yao was willing to let Wen Qun know, which showed that he treated Wen Qun sincerely and wanted to be with him. If they tried to stop him, and Jing Yao had some bad ideas in the future, Wen Qun would suffer.

"I have no time to take care of many things by myself, and Qun Qun helped me a lot, so that I could make the things well. Besides, I am the only one in the family, and I will have Qun Qun in the future. There is no need to hide these things from him, so I ask for your consent, uncle." Jing Yao felt like a scumbag who relied on his husband to work before getting married, but he couldn't think of a better way, so he had to take the blame.

Wen Xing was very pleased that Jing Yao had such a heart, and felt that it was a blessing for Wen Qun to be valued. He said, "I can agree to this matter, but you have to know that your marriage is scheduled for October next year, which is still early, and you can't do anything that violates etiquette."

Jing Yao nodded: "I will respect Qun Qun, and of course the wedding will have to be a grand one with three matchmakers and six betrothals to welcome him into the family."

Seeing that his father agreed, Wen Yu stopped objecting and asked about other things: "You said you want to do dock business, but it's also food, it's not as lively over there as in the city, business won't be difficult to do, right?"

He was also worried about Wen Qun's future life. Hunting was dangerous and doing business also had risks, but he couldn't control how they lived together in the future, so he could only help out with some advice.

Jing Yao did not comment: "It is not easy to run a normal food business. The market of Yipinxian restaurants is already saturated. If we want to get in with a small force and share a piece of the pie, it will be difficult. And the old merchants will squeeze us out, so the situation will naturally not change. But I don't want to do a small business. If I want to do it, I want to do a big business."

"Big business, what big business?" Wen Xing was also very curious. Jing Yao had said it so confidently last time. He wanted to know what kind of business could make Jing Yao give up everything he had learned and take this risk.

"Uncle, do you have a map of the area around Wenjiabao?" Jing Yao asked.

Wen Xing nodded and gestured to Wen Yu. After a while, Wen Yu brought a picture and spread it on the table. The four of them sat around the table in a circle.
