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

The ginger soup was ready, but Ji Yinghuai was still nowhere to be seen at the door. Jiang Shian covered the pottery jar and put some firewood in it to keep it warm.

I bought a piece of fat and lean pork hind leg and half an old hen in town.

There were no greenhouses in ancient times, so there were not many edible green vegetables. Chinese cabbage was already available at home, but cucumbers and peppers would take a month or so to grow, so he only bought some meat.

After washing the millet and soaking it in a clay pot, he went to process the chicken. Cut all the chicken into thin strips and wash it several times to reduce the fishy smell.

While we were busy, there was finally movement at the gate of the courtyard.

Jiang Shian had not closed the outer door when he came back just now. Now he could see the man coming in from the door by turning his body.

The puppy got up from the ground and barked twice at the door.

Jiang Shian patted its head and grabbed its fat body as it tried to run away. The puppy was smart and stopped barking immediately.

The man carried a backpack on his back, two fat rabbits in one hand, and a long leaf in the other hand to keep out the rain.

But the rain is so heavy, what can these leaves block?

Jiang Shian wrapped a clay pot with cloth and poured a full bowl of ginger soup into it, then walked to the door and waited for the man to come in.

"It's raining heavily, just hide in the mountains for a while and come back." Jiang Shian reached out and took the rabbit from Ji Yinghuai's hand.

Raindrops dripped from the man's hair, and his clothes were already mostly wet. It really was raining.

Ji Yinghuai squatted down and put down the backpack, which was still covered with a few leaves. When he opened it, he saw two animals inside. They had fat bodies, pointed noses, short ears, small eyes, short and thick necks, strong limbs, and gray-black fur.

Jiang Shi'an looked at it carefully and remembered that he had seen a drawing of this thing in a book two days ago.

He looked up at Ji Yinghuai and said in surprise: "You...you hunted a badger?"

Ji Yinghuai nodded, "We went deep today. Maybe there weren't many hunters going up the mountain in the past two days, so I ran into one."

Jiang Shian's eyes curved with laughter, and he kept praising Ji Yinghuai for his abilities.

Seeing the man's sleeves still dripping with water, she quickly pushed him out and said, "Go change quickly, your clothes are soaked. I've made some ginger soup, you can drink a bowl of it later. After dinner, the water on the stove will be hot, so take a hot bath and rest in the evening."

"Okay." Ji Yinghuai responded with a smile. His little brother was really considerate, and he had already prepared for him to come back.

It looks like his soap bar will be on the agenda soon.

He put the rabbit in the chicken coop. It was raining, and the rabbit jumped into the chicken coop to avoid the rain. He put the two badgers in the woodshed. There was nothing else in the woodshed except wood. It had been burned out for a while, and most of it was empty.

Ji Yinghuai went to change his clothes, and Jiang Shian also washed his hands and prepared to cook dinner.

The millet was ready after soaking for a while. He put a little oil in the pot, fried the shredded chicken, and put it into the clay pot. Then he put the clay pot on the stove and started to cook.

The soaked millet cooks very quickly. The shredded chicken porridge is simple but delicious. No other seasoning is needed except salt. You can eat it after frying some meat.

There was a large pot of boiling water on the stove next to it. It would boil faster if the lid was covered. Jiang Shian opened the lid and reached out to test the water temperature. It was just warm, probably just right for finishing his meal.

He added two more sticks of firewood into the stove. The woodshed was already half empty. Fortunately, it was only spring, so there was no need to rush up the mountain to store firewood for the winter.

Ji Yinghuai changed into dry clothes and walked in with his hair half uncovered.

Jiang Shian turned around and met the man's smiling eyes. He didn't expect that the man looked so handsome with his long hair. Not only was he not ugly, but he looked more gentle and graceful like jade.

The black hair behind the man seemed to have been casually brushed, and was a little messy. You could also see a small wet spot on his clothes on his back.

Jiang Shian frowned, "Why don't you dry your hair before coming out? Come over here and warm yourself by the fire first."

Having said that, he didn't wait for Ji Yinghuai to reply, and went out, along the eaves back to his room, then came back with a clean towel in his hand.

Ji Yinghuai looked at him with a faint smile on his face, not at all like the cold-faced devil he had been before.

Jiang Shian was about to hand over the towel when he saw the man turn around and say, "Excuse me, Shian!"

Jiang Shian: “…”

Jiang Shian stood there for a moment holding the towel. He just used it to help the other person wipe himself, but didn't say he wanted to help.

But when he thought about how he was sick last night and how the man had taken care of him the whole night, compared to not having any sleep all night, wiping his hair seemed nothing, so he had to compromise and walked over with the towel.

Jiang Shian handed over the ginger soup that was poured out from the side. "It's for warding off the cold, and it also has brown sugar in it."

"Okay, thank you Shi'an." Ji Yinghuai took it and drank it in a few big gulps. It didn't have that particularly strong ginger flavor.

It is still not convenient to wipe your hair with this towel. If you use a modern hair dryer, it will be dry in less than five minutes.

The man's hair was black and smooth, which did not match his usual cold and hard appearance. It was half draped around his waist like a piece of luxurious silk.

They use soap powder bought from the town to wash their hair. There is little foam but the hair is clean enough. The only difference is that the smell is a bit pungent, and the top of the head will itch within two days.

Thinking of the shampoo he is using now, the foam is dense and the smell is good. He specially bought a tea bran shampoo recommended by a blogger. It can remove grease, wash and condition the hair, and it also has a light tea fragrance.

However, this tea bran requires the tea oil fruit grown from wild tea trees, which are still grown on the mountains in some places today. They have all been to the two mountains in the village, and he also looked carefully when looking for medicinal herbs, but there were no wild tea trees.

Not to mention selling it in the town. This is not real tea that can be exchanged for money, and I guess not many people would pay attention to it. I wonder if there is any in other villages or mountains around.

It was the first time that someone wiped his hair so intimately. When he thought that the person he liked was wiping his hair, he felt a little elated. The slender and warm fingers of the person behind him occasionally touched his scalp, which inexplicably made him feel itchy.

"Shi'an, what are you thinking about? You haven't moved for a long time." Ji Yinghuai turned his head and asked.

The sudden sound interrupted Jiang Shian's thoughts.

He came to his senses, put down the half-dried hair wrapped in a towel, and picked up another strand and wiped it gently.

Jiang Shian asked casually, "Ji Er, have you ever seen a wild tea tree?"

"No." Ji Yinghuai shook his head and asked, "Why do you want to make tea?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered that I seemed to have read in an ancient book that the tea oil fruits of wild tea trees can be used to extract oil, and the oil and tea dregs can be used to wash your hair." Jiang Shian explained with a lie.

Ji Yinghuai nodded. He had never heard of this wild tea tree being used to wash hair. "Then tell me the pattern simply. I'll go up the mountain and keep an eye out for you some other day."

"Uh..." Jiang Shian scratched his head. He had only seen this wild tea tree on his mobile phone. He really couldn't draw it if he was asked to.

He put down the hair he was rubbing in his hands and said, "I haven't seen it either, but I guess it's not much different from a tea tree. You must have drunk tea, but you haven't seen what a tea tree looks like, right?"

Young Master? Hearing this title, Ji Yinghuai was stunned for a moment, and turned back to look at Jiang Shian. There was no strange expression on the boy's face, as if he was just saying it casually.

The rice porridge cooking on the stove was bubbling, and the house was filled with the mixed aroma of rice and chicken.

"There's no rush for the wild tea trees. I'll go look for them on the mountain when I have time another day." Jiang Shian lifted a few handfuls of the black hair in front of him and felt that it was almost done.

Putting the handkerchief aside, he said, "Why don't you go back to your room and comb your hair? I'll fry some meat and we'll eat."

Ji Yinghuai nodded, stood up and walked out.

After taking the rice porridge down, Jiang Shian put the big pot on the stove. Compared with cooking in a clay pot, this big pot is much more convenient. It was worth spending several taels of silver.

The meat has been cut into thin slices. The oil in the pan is hot, and Jiang Shian pours the meat slices in. He doesn't like to eat too greasy food, so he stir-fryes it for a while longer. After the oil comes out, he puts in the dried chilies and garlic cloves, and finally pours in a little soy sauce to adjust the color, and then pours in the chopped bamboo shoots on the side and stir-fry evenly.

Ji Yinghuai tied her hair up and walked in, and he just put the food on the table.

There was meat and rice. He was a good cook, so even though there was only one dish, both of them enjoyed it.

"Merchant Liu has ordered a lot of goods from us again, and the delivery will be the day after tomorrow. There are 500 toothbrushes and tooth powders. Merchant Liu requires that some patterns be engraved on the tooth powder boxes and toothbrushes, and the price is also high." Jiang Shi'an said while eating.
