Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Liu Shuyue had already cooked lunch and originally wanted to send it to Yao Qingnian, but unexpectedly Yao Qingnian came back on his own.

"Qing Nian, it's okay. If we can't sell it, we can think of another way."

She reached out and took the basin from Yao Qingnian's hand, and it was empty.

"Mom, it's sold out."

Liu Shuyue looked shocked and incredulous. She thought that it would definitely not sell. After all, she hadn't sold a single copy before she came back.

“All…all sold out?”

“Yeah, some people even asked when we’re going to sell it again.”

Yao Qingnian sat down and drank a glass of water before slowly speaking, pouring all the copper coins he had just collected onto the table.

"We sold thirty copies in total, which is four hundred and fifty coins."

Yao Qing counted the coins to check, and put them away after confirming that there was no problem.

Yinuo sat on the side and watched, and asked curiously: "How do you know it's 450 Wen when you haven't counted it yet?"

"Isn't this simple? Thirty copies, fifteen cents each, four hundred and fifty cents, that's right."

Liu Shuyue was also stunned when she heard this. Yao Qingnian was even better than the accountant. He figured out the number without even thinking about it.

"I've never heard that you can do this?"

"Mom, you forgot. My immortal master taught me."

Yao Qingnian then remembered that maybe there were no multiplication tables and Arabic numerals in this era?

Only then did Liu Shuyue remember the immortal master that Yao Qingnian mentioned.

"Then you have to thank the gods."

"Don't worry, mother. I make delicious food every day in my dream to thank him!"

Yao Qingnian repeated the old immortal's excuse, and Liu Shuyue believed it without a doubt.

Yinuo looked at Yao Qingnian with admiration. She didn't expect her mother to be so powerful.

"I want to learn too."

"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time, Yinuo."

With the four hundred and fifty coins today and the money from selling the wild boar, Yao Qingnian now has nearly one tael of silver. She thought for a long time and said, "Mom, I will be the head of the family from now on. I will lead you to live a good life."

"It's up to you to decide. Anyway, we don't have anything valuable at home. We only have the pig in the backyard."

After spending these days together, Liu Shuyue has completely trusted Yao Qingnian. She doesn't care whether he is the head of the household or not. As long as she can live a good life, that's enough.

Yao Qingnian is the head of the family because she wants to lead them to live a good life. Every family has a head of the family. Lu Mingchuan is still paralyzed, and everything depends on the decision of these two people, so Yao Qingnian took the initiative to take on the responsibility of taking care of the family.

After lunch, Liu Shu went to work in the fields under the moonlight. The most important thing for rural people in the year is the crops in the fields.

Yao Qingnian remembered the ferns in the space and went in to move them all out.

"The cooked purple agate is piled up on the plate, and it breaks into bright glass when chewed. It is as sweet as honey, and it makes my hungry stomach feel warm again." This is exactly what it means about the fresh fragrance of bracken.

Cat paws appeared out of nowhere all over the yard. Yinuo looked at Yao Qingnian and asked, "What are all these cat paws for?"

"Cat's paw? Isn't this bracken?!"

"Bracken?"

Everyone in the village calls him Cat's Paw.

"Yes, you can eat it cold or stir-fried with meat, or dried!"

Among modern cold dishes, Yao Qingnian’s favorite is fern, which tastes crispy and delicious.

“Is this edible?”

"Of course, it's delicious. Don't just stand there, come and help."

The most important issue for Yao Qingnian right now is to solve the problem of food and clothing and making money. Only when he is full can he have the energy to make money, and only when he makes money can he have the confidence to survive in this era.

There were so many ferns, Yao Qingnian started to process them and continued for more than three hours, with Yinuo helping him on the side.

First, boil the bracken in a pot for a few minutes, then take it out and put it in a basin to cool. Tear each one into several strips, put them in a bucket, soak for more than ten minutes, rinse with warm water, and finally take it out and put it in a basket. Dry it and store it, and it can be eaten for a whole year.

Soak it in warm water when eating. It can be stir-fried with meat or eaten alone.

The brine is selling well today, Yao Qingnian thought, why not make some cold bracken salad and sell it tomorrow.

This was a good idea, so Yao Qingnian did it right away. He decided to try making a cold dish in the evening and if it tasted good, he would sell it.

After Liu Shuyue came back, Yao Qingnian told him his idea. Liu Shuyue agreed and said that today's braised food gave her hope.

The method of making cold bracken is simple. Cut the soaked bracken into small pieces with a knife, then mix well with soy sauce and other seasonings.

It’s a pity there is no chili, otherwise it would be delicious.

In the evening, Yao Qingnian made a cold bracken dish and stir-fried bracken with meat. This kind of seasonal delicacy is not something you can eat whenever you want, it can only be eaten in spring.

After eating white rice, Yao Qingnian no longer wanted to eat brown rice porridge, so the twenty kilograms of polished rice were almost finished in a few days. She decided to go to the county town in a few days to buy some offal, which was still quite profitable.

"Mom, how does bracken taste? Can we sell it at the entrance of the village?"

Bracken is rich in nutrients and has a unique and delicious taste. Lu Mingchuan and Liu Shuyue could not have imagined that cat's paws were so delicious.

"Of course, this cat's paw has a crispy and delicious texture, much better than ordinary wild vegetables."

“I like this cat’s paw fried meat.”

"Little greedy cat, eat quickly!"

The family had dinner happily.

Early in the morning, Yao Qingnian got up early to prepare cold wild vegetables. After finishing, he still put them in a basin and came to the entrance of the village.

Today, before she could even call out, villagers came over.

"Yao Qingnian, are you here to sell offal?"

When the villagers heard that no one was going into the water, they instantly lost interest.

"Don't go. We don't have brine today, but we have this."

Yao Qingnian lifted the lid of the cold-mixed fern. The weather was gradually getting warmer, and this green and refreshing cold dish looked very appetizing.

"Hey, isn't this a cat's paw? Can you eat it?"

"Come, have a taste"

Yao Qingnian generously took out a portion for them to try. With the precedent of yesterday, everyone no longer had doubts and came forward to try it.

"This tastes really good, crispy and refreshing, delicious and fresh. How much is it?"

"Eight cents a piece"

The price was nearly half cheaper than meat, so the villagers quickly gathered around and bought some in batches. Everyone was still relishing the braised food yesterday, and since they had eaten meat yesterday, it was just right to try some vegetarian food today to change the taste and save the trouble of making it at home.

Today's bracken was sold out. More than 30 pieces of bracken were sold today, with a net profit of more than 200 coins, which is a considerable income in the village.

Bracken is a seasonal product and cannot be sold for that long. Besides, there are a lot of ferns near the village and the preparation method is simple. Maybe someone will pick them and make them themselves soon.

Yao Qingnian decided to go to the county town again tomorrow to buy some offal and continue selling braised food to make money. Her marinade recipe is special and cannot be imitated by others.
