The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

The tofu had been fermenting for several days and had grown a lot of white hair. He could smell a foul odor as he approached. He loved stinky tofu, so he didn't mind the smell.

Ji Yinghuai felt a little disgusted. He avoided going into the kitchen as much as possible in the past two days, and meals had to be taken to the corner of the yard.

Seeing that he was going to make tofu again, Ji Yinghuai's face changed, and he immediately moved away from the kitchen, looking in his direction with a complicated expression.

This thing must be bad, it’s actually edible, who can accept this taste?

Jiang Shian was amused and said loudly, "Okay, remember your disgusted look now, and don't eat a single bite when I'm done."

Ji Yinghuai glanced at him and was sharpening a knife quickly on a grindstone.

He uttered two words firmly, "I won't eat it."

Jiang Shian ignored him and snorted.

It was the same when he first ate snail noodles, but later he found it really delicious.

It's not easy to sell toothpaste and toothbrushes on the street, so the two of them went to the town to look around the shops. The cheapest ones cost two or three taels, and those in better locations start at five taels.

He has been buying materials and peach trees these days, as well as paying a deposit. Now he has less than ten taels of silver in his hand, so he has to think about it himself.

After going around in circles, the two decided to choose a location in the middle. Being expensive has its advantages, there are more people and it's lively, and no one has used their thing before. If the location is a little off the beaten track, the number of people interested in it will be greatly reduced.

Although it is in the middle of the street, the shop they chose is small and does not contain any big items, so it is enough to display them.

After paying five taels of rent, the other party handed over the house deed to the two.

So the two of them spent the whole day cleaning and tidying up the shop.

The last person who rented the shop was probably a carpenter. He had fixed a lot of wooden boards around the walls, which was quite convenient for them. They could just bring the things and put them there when the time came.

It took them a day to pack up the shop, and after having dinner in town, they returned home.

Jiang Shian was so tired that he didn't want to move and just lay down on the bed.

After Ji Yinghuai finished washing up, he changed a wooden basin, filled it with water and brought it to him in the room. Seeing the boy's unpresentable appearance, he smiled helplessly and said, "You've worked hard today. I've already fetched water for you. Go wash up and go to bed."

He put the wooden basin on the ground and picked up the washcloth hanging beside it. "Let's go up the mountain tomorrow. I'll hunt some game and bring it back for you to eat."

Hearing about game, Jiang Shian sat up from the bed and looked the man in front of him up and down.

"Are you all recovered?"

Ji Yinghuai nodded, "Well, I've seen you busy with the shop these days, and you seem to have lost weight. And I just heard from Fugui Xiaozi that there are a lot of wild rabbits and pheasants in the mountains. If you're lucky, you can hunt roe deer and foxes. If you like to eat them, we can keep them. If you don't like them, we can take them to the town to exchange for silver."

Think about the autumn and winter hunting that took place in the palace every year. In order to show off their talents in both civil and military affairs, the princes and grandchildren of the emperor put in their best efforts and released many ferocious beasts into the mountains.

As a king of a different surname and holding military power, he was always the focus of attention. It was easy for him to catch roe deer and hares.

Thinking of the sizzling roasted rabbit and the fragrant fried pheasant with chili, Jiang Shian felt that he was full of energy and all the tiredness disappeared instantly!

He likes to eat some wild game, but in modern times many of them are protected by the state. If you want to eat them, you have to buy wild game, which are artificially raised and there is still some difference between them and real wild game.

This visit to ancient times actually fulfilled his little wish.

He quickly turned over and got out of bed, washing up while rushing out to Ji Yinghuai, "I see, then go to bed and get some rest."

Ji Yinghuai smiled and shook his head, said "good night", and went out to his room.

She was looking at him with sparkling eyes just now, but now she started to chase him away. She is so fickle.

The next morning!

The two got up before dawn.

It rained a little in the late night last night. The ground in the yard was wet and the leaves of the peach trees were covered with water droplets.

Feeling a little cold, Jiang Shian put on another piece of clothing, a short plain jacket.

It was still early and it was pitch dark on the mountain, making it inconvenient to do anything. I might as well have breakfast first so I could be busy a little longer on the mountain.

Ji Yinghuai is responsible for hunting today, and he will look for medicinal herbs.

The ones I found before have been dried. When the toothpaste and toothbrushes arrive tomorrow, I will take them to the town to sell them.

There was some dough left from making noodle soup last night, so Jiang Shian quickly kneaded it on the chopping board. It was too greasy to eat in the morning, so he just had some clear soup noodles and made some pancakes with the remaining dough to take back to the mountain.

The planted cabbage seedlings were ready to be picked. Jiang Shian put the noodles into boiling water, and then went to the yard to pick a few leaves of cabbage and green onions.

With a creak, the door of Ji Yinghuai's room opened. A man dressed in black walked out.

It was still dark, so the outfit blended in perfectly with the night. If it weren't for the voice and the full moon hanging in the sky, one wouldn't have been able to see the person standing in front of the door.

"Good morning, Ji Er." Jiang Shian glanced at the man and greeted him.

This person has a lot of little secrets. I have never seen him buy clothes in town, but the several sets of clothes that appeared out of nowhere are all of different styles and colors.

Ji Yinghuai had good eyesight and spotted the man squatting nearby picking vegetables. He walked to the well to fetch water to wash up, saying, "Why did Shi An get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Jiang Shian let Ji Yinghuai scoop water to wash the vegetables.

He couldn't say that he was thinking about eating meat last night and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He was thinking about eating meat again in the morning and woke up early.

After thinking for a while, he said vaguely: "I'd better go up the mountain and find more herbs to sell. I'm too poor now. I only have five taels of silver on me."

Ji Yinghuai paused in wiping his face, frowned at Jiang Shian's back, and asked, "Is he so short of money?"

The noodles in the pot were boiling hot. Jiang Shian put the vegetable leaves in and beat two eggs.

After Ji Yinghuai finished washing up, he walked back to the kitchen. He was just putting noodles into a bowl. When he saw someone coming into the room, he said, "Here, eat! I'll make two more scallion pancakes for you to take with you. We'll stay on the mountain for a while longer."

Ji Yinghuai nodded. He picked up the noodles and skillfully put the egg and ginger in his bowl. "Eat more. You are still growing."

"No, I already have one in my bowl." Jiang Shian wanted to take it back for him, but the man had already walked to the table and sat down to eat.

Okay, then he will put more oil in the pancakes and make a few more to take with him.

As daybreak approached, they packed up their things and went out.

Jiang Shian carried a backpack on his back, and Ji Yinghuai held a bow and arrow and other hunting tools in his hands.

This time is not too early for the country folk. On the way, I met many villagers carrying hoes and other farm tools on their shoulders and heading to the fields.

Seeing the two of them, everyone greeted them and praised Jiang Shian for his diligence.

Although they praised him outwardly, they were all thinking about it in their hearts. They had been in their village for such a long time, but they had not bought any land, nor planted any crops, and they did not know how they were going to make a living in the future.

I heard from the village chief that the young master seemed to have opened a shop in town again, planning to sell toothpaste and toothbrushes. Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, as they had never heard of such things.

A young man who is always out and about in public, now he has opened a shop, who knows how much money he will have to lose.

Despite what they thought, everyone still looked friendly.

The two of them were familiar with the mountain road. Ji Yinghuai first asked Jiang Shian to find herbs around, and he went deep into the forest to set a few traps.

Villagers often come to this mountain, so he can't put sharp objects in the trap for fear of hurting people, so he can only dig the pit deeper.

After setting up several traps in places with dense grass, he continued to walk deeper into the forest. In spring, many animals come out to look for food, which is the best time for hunting.

The sky was already bright, illuminating every blade of grass and every tree in the forest.

The grass in the distance shook slightly. Ji Yinghuai pulled out his bow and aimed, and when the rabbit wanted to jump to the next direction, he quickly shot an arrow, hitting the rabbit's right leg.

The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes and eyebrows showed the flamboyance that was unique to his age.

Very good, the boy’s breakfast is taken care of.

Ji Yinghuai walked closer and held the rabbit's ears to take a look. The rabbit was quite fat and about the size of his two palms. His eyes fell down to the rabbit's bulging belly and he was slightly stunned.

It's so heavy, it turns out to be a female rabbit, and it seems to be pregnant.

The injured right leg was still bleeding, and the female rabbit whimpered softly a few times.
