Taxue had been following Chu Xiao for quite some time when he was suddenly taken away by Yan Zhenshen. He circled around Chu Xiao several times out of concern and also gave the wolf cub a lesson before reluctantly following Yan Zhenshen away.

It was still early and one could still feel a little chill even wearing ordinary autumn clothes. Chu Xiao tidied up the yard, washed the mushrooms he picked yesterday and put them in a dustpan, then put them on the rack to dry.

Yan Zhennan made twenty shelves for him. He put twelve of them in the space to store things. Six of the remaining eight were placed in the medicine field to dry medicinal materials, and the other two were placed outside the yard.

It is also helpful to place mushrooms and black fungus in a high place to dry them, so that they will not be eaten by wolves.

After being taught a lesson, the wolf cub became autistic for a while and then ran to Chu Xiao again, humming and rubbing against him.

Chu Xiao kicked him to the side with his foot. The wolf cub was too small and might be stepped on if he was not careful.

However, just after kicking this guy away, he came up again, so Chu Xiao took a fruit and let him grind his teeth.

The wolf cub really held the fruit and started to eat it. It had been a while since the little wolf cub was brought back. It had grown a lot bigger and its teeth were much sharper. Now it could eat the fruit quite fast.

Seeing that he had finished the fruit in a short while, Chu Xiao threw two more to him for fear that he would come to make trouble again. The well-fed little wolf cub lay lazily in the middle of the yard gate. Chu Xiao walked back and forth but he didn't even give way.

After processing the mushrooms, Chu Xiao took the sickle to cut the grass. The pregnant rabbit had to be taken good care of.

Seeing the person walking out, the wolf cub immediately looked over. To make sure that the person was really leaving, the wolf cub turned over, jumped up, and trotted after him.

The tiny wolf cub had gone into the bushes and it was impossible to find it, and this guy was always jumping left and right. Chu Xiao stepped on its hind leg without paying attention.

Now that’s great, the screams can be heard from far away.

He had no choice but to pick it up and coax it for a long time, kneading and rubbing it to make the wolf cub stop crying. Then, for fear of stepping on it again, he threw it directly into the backpack. There was grass in the backpack, and the wolf cub lay comfortably and fell asleep.

After feeding the wild rabbits, Chu Xiao went to clean up his medicinal field. He first collected all the seeds that could be collected, and then began to dig out the medicinal herbs and dry them.

The soil in this field is easier to dig than that on the mountain, and it is not too difficult to work with. Besides, we can’t harvest it all, so we still have to leave some of it to let it grow slowly.

This medicinal field was the only one that Angelica Chu Xiao had cultivated using his supernatural powers. The rhizomes he dug out were more than twice as large as those he brought back from the Dongshan Canyon.

It was already past lunch time when the angelica was harvested. Chu Xiao boiled two eggs and ate them with steamed buns and pickled vegetables.

Chu Xiao took a look at the other medicinal herbs. Since they were not cultivated with supernatural powers, they all grew very ordinary. He picked out the larger Gastrodia elata, dug some and then stopped.

It was still early, so Chu Xiao went to cut the grass again. It was always a good idea to prepare more grass before it turned completely yellow.

The day passed in such a busy manner, but Chu Xiao did not feel bored. He felt fulfilled and happy that the two of them were working hard for their future life together.

It is always good to eat something good at the end of a busy day. Chu Xiao took out the menu and then remembered his drunken shrimps and drunken crabs. Since there was no rush to cook, he went to the woodshed to get the fishing net and went fishing.

It was still the place where Yan Zhenshen took him last time. He cast the fishing net according to the actions he saw last time and then come back to pick it up tomorrow.

The wolf cub had been locked in the yard by Chu Xiao before. Now that Chu Xiao came back to cook, the wolf cub started to circle around him again.

While the rice was stewing in the pot, Chu Xiao started to cut the meat. The wolf cub kept scratching his trouser legs, so he threw a piece of wild boar meat into the wolf cub's food bowl.

The hunting dogs at home eat both cooked and raw meat, but this wolf cub has never been fed raw meat since it was brought home.

But due to its nature, the wolf cub had no aversion to raw meat and ate it with relish.

Chop the scallion, ginger and garlic, cut the pork belly into small pieces, light a wok and add oil, then stir-fry the pork belly over high heat. Take out the meat first, add the scallion, ginger, garlic and sugar cubes in the remaining oil in the wok and stir-fry until the sugar color comes out, then pour in some white wine to remove the smell.

It was necessary to add some spices, but Chu Xiao didn't have them here. Even if he wanted to find a substitute, he didn't know what to use, so he could only give up.

Put the fried pork belly into the pot, then add water, add salt and soy sauce after the water boils, simmer on low heat, and when it is almost done, turn to high heat to reduce the juice. This is the braised pork, the main dish Chu Xiao is making tonight.

When the clouds of fire appeared on the west mountain, the sound of dogs barking could be heard from a distance. The wolf cub excitedly followed suit and barked twice. Chu Xiao flicked him on the head and said, "You didn't bark when I told you to, but now you're barking happily."

Taxue was the first to rush into the yard. He pushed the wolf cub aside first and then sniffed around Chu Xiaodong. He seemed to be sure that there was no problem before he lay down under the eaves.

Dahei and Dahuang followed closely behind, following the same process of walking on the snow, even the movements of digging the wolf cubs were the same.

The wolf cub was also dragged out of anger. He arched his back towards the big yellow and big black and let out low whimpering growls, but the hounds were too lazy to pay any attention to the little cub.

Chu Xiao felt that the hounds at home were sometimes very smart, and sometimes so stupid that it made people laugh and cry.

Yan Zhenshen was the last one to enter the yard. He had a large backpack on his back that was almost full, and in his hands were a bow and arrow and the token of love given by Chu Xiao.

"I'm back." Chu Xiao went over and took the bow and sword from him. "It'll take a while for dinner. You should take a rest first."

"Okay, I'll go deal with Badger Gouzi first." Yan Zhenshen replied with a smile.

Chu Xiao tiptoed to look at the backpack behind Yan Zhenshen: "Is this the Badger?"

Seeing her husband's curiosity, Yan Zhenshen put down the backpack and said, "Yes, there are people who collect the fur, and we can also make badger oil. However, the badger oil is usually made from hog badgers, and this one has less fat from dog badgers."

In other words, the badger is easier to catch. If it is a hog badger, the hunting dogs may not be able to deal with it at all due to its sharp teeth and claws, and may be easily injured.

Yan Zhenshen carried the basket and went to the river to skin the badger. As for the badger meat, he would see if his husband liked it. After all, many women and men don't like it very much, saying that it tastes sour.

But the old hunter said that badger meat is also a good thing. It can replenish the body and strengthen the qi. People with weak physical constitution can eat it to nourish and strengthen the body.

After separating the badger's skin and flesh, Yan Zhenshen used a wooden bucket to scoop water to wash away the blood stains on the river bank. He washed his hands several times before returning with the backpack on his back.

When Chu Xiao returned to the yard, he had already put the food on the table and called Yan Zhenshen to come over to eat. "This is my new dish, braised pork. Come and try it and see if it tastes good."

"Okay, my husband's cooking will definitely be delicious." Yan Zhenshen took off his wet coat with a smile on his face.

When he put a piece of meat into his mouth, Yan Zhenshen's eyes lit up. It tasted really good.

Yan Zhenshen was extremely satisfied with the meal. Looking at his husband with a smug look on his face, he felt a little hungry again.
