A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Since we were all villagers, we didn't hesitate to look through other people's backpacks to see what was inside.

Xia Tian had thought of this a long time ago, and had already put away the things that could not be seen in public, so it was okay if they were seen in the backpack.

Aunt Chun and the others saw Xia Tian bought a large piece of pork fat and pig offal, and asked her why she bought so many pig intestines.

Xia Tian smiled embarrassedly and said, "There is no oil left at home. Rapeseed oil is too expensive and not durable. The lard made from pig fat can be eaten for a long time.

After buying the lard, we didn’t have much money left, but my aunt knew that my head of the family was in poor health, and pig offal was cheap, so she weighed some. After all, it was meat, and it could be used to nourish us.”

Aunt Chun nodded in understanding, "That's true. When cooking, just rub the bottom of the pan with lard. It tastes better than rapeseed oil."

One woman said, "Pig intestines are cheap, but they have a fishy smell when cooked and are not tasty."

"Well, I bought some spices to see if I can make it taste better. There's no other way, I don't have much money, so this is the only way." Xia Tian nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Xia Tian lived a down-to-earth life and was very polite, the aunts all passed on their life experiences to Xia Tian.

You know what, I really gained a lot.

Although Xia Tian still has the memories of the original owner, he can do basic farm work.

But when the original owner was in the Xia family, he had to do whatever Old Lady Xia assigned him to do, which mostly involved pulling grass for pigs, digging wild vegetables, and washing dishes.

The girls in the family would also do farm work during the busy farming season, but they would just follow the adults and do whatever they were told to do.

The life wisdom of the aunts was passed down from generation to generation, and Xia Tian carefully wrote down everything he heard.

When she heard something she didn't understand, she would ask them. The aunts saw that she was listening attentively and didn't think they were nagging. They liked Xia Tian even more.

When they arrived at the village entrance, everyone got off the ox cart and went home.

When Xia Tian arrived home, the yard was quiet. The window of the upper room was half open, and Shen Nian was sitting by the window reading a book.

Xia Tian was stunned for a moment.

She has always known that Shen Nian is good-looking, but Shen Nian, who is reading quietly at this moment, makes Xia Tian feel like "a young man in a painting, the years are quiet and good".

Xia Tian was sure that this was Shen Nian's original appearance.

Until a long time later, she still remembered the scene of that day.

Shen Nian felt that someone was staring at him. He slowly looked up and found that it was Xia Tian who had returned.

Seeing that Shen Nian had noticed him, Xia Tian gave him a big smile and said loudly, "Brother Shen, I'm back!"

Seeing Shen Nian nodding slightly at him, Xia Tian smiled even more happily.

It feels so great to have someone waiting for you at home.

He quickly went to the kitchen to put down the backpack. The things in the space had been put back into the backpack when he separated from Mrs. Yao.

I took out the oil paper bag containing the buns and found that the temperature was only slightly cooler than when I bought them. The fresh-keeping function of the space was good.

Xia Tian held the bag through the window and handed it directly to Shen Nian, "Brother Shen, have some buns. I see there are a lot of people lining up to buy buns there, so they should taste good. Try some."

Shen Nian felt the temperature of the bag and thought that he was afraid that the buns would be cold in the summer, so he put it in his arms and was touched.

Shen Nian opened the bag, took out a bun and handed it to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian took it and took a big bite. Hmm, the skin was thin and the filling was rich. It tasted fresh and delicious.

"Brother Shen, you eat too." She finished a bun in just a few bites.

Shen Nian handed the bag forward, and Xia Tian waved his hand, "No more, let's eat later."

Watching Shen Nian take a bite slowly, Xia Tian returned to the kitchen and put the things he bought back in their places one by one.

It was already noon, so she quickly washed her hands and started making lunch.

Bring the old hen bought from the market, drain the blood, and start boiling water to scald the chicken feathers.

After the chicken is cooked, I find a clay pot, put onions, ginger and garlic in it and start stewing the soup.

Soon the fragrance wafted from the kitchen!

Steam the rice in another pot. After the rice is steamed, stir-fry some sauerkraut and pork belly, and make some cold bamboo shoots. Then we start eating.

Shen Nian didn't cough much this morning, and his appetite was better. He drank two bowls of chicken soup and ate a large bowl of rice. The stir-fried pork belly with sauerkraut was very appetizing, so he ate a lot.

Xia Tian saw that Shen Nian seemed to be in much better spirits today, so he happily ate a big bowl of rice and a chicken leg.

After dinner, Xia Tian took out the pig intestines he had bought, found a basin, poured rice washing water into it and soaked it so that it would be easier to clean later.

After resting for a while in the room, I took a hoe and went to the backyard to plow the soil.

The land was not big, and it was turned over in less than half an hour.

After drinking Lingquan water in the summer, not only have I become much stronger, but I am also not too tired even after working for a long time.

Moreover, she also found that as long as she stayed in the space for a while, she would feel refreshed regardless of whether she drank the spiritual spring water or not.

After finishing his meal, Shen Nian was digesting his food in the yard. Seeing Xia Tian going to the backyard with a hoe, he slowly walked over to take a look.

I watched Xia Tian turning the soil with a hoe, turning the soil quickly and well, and he didn't look tired at all.

Shen Nian raised his eyebrows. Although this girl looks thin, she is quite strong. No wonder she has a good appetite when eating.

Xia Tian saw Shen Nian standing aside and watching her plow the soil, so she explained to him, "Although it's past the time to plant vegetables, it's not too late. I bought vegetable seeds today, so it's just the right time to plow the soil and plant them. Then we don't have to go to other people's houses to buy vegetables all the time."

"Farmers grow their own vegetables and grains, and few people buy food. Since we live in the village, we must integrate into it and not be too conspicuous."

"Although most villagers are kind and honest, there are also some with bad intentions. So even if you have something good, you have to keep it secret from others. You have to be on guard against others."

Xia Tian taught Shen Nian about rural life experience while working.

The land was plowed, divided into areas, and ridges were made. The rapeseeds were sorted and planted. I went to the river several times to fetch water to water the seeds, and it was done.

Shen Nian looked at Xia Tian who was working very hard and felt a little envious. It was a pity that his body...

Shen Nian didn't go back to the house the whole afternoon. He moved a stool and sat under the eaves, watching Xia Tian busying in and out.

After the vegetable fields are planted, we go to fetch water to wash the pig intestines in the summer.

Seeing Shen Nian wrinkle his nose, Xia Tian explained with a smile, "This is pig intestine. Although it smells stinky now, I will clean it and cook it later. It will taste good."

Scrape off the grease, wash it repeatedly with salt and flour until it is clean, and then light the fire and add the spices to start braising in summer.

Then he took out the lard he had bought, washed it, cut it into pieces, and used another pot to refine the lard.

After a while, the yard was filled with fragrance, and even Shen Nian was looking forward to what to eat in the evening.

After the oil is refined, collect the oil residue in the summer and save it for making dumplings the next day.

For dinner, Xia Tian still steamed rice, cut a plate of braised pig intestines and pig hearts, fried some shredded potatoes, and drank the chicken soup that he didn’t finish at noon.

Under Xia Tian's expectant gaze, Shen Nian took a bite of the braised pig intestines. Unexpectedly, it was mellow and chewy, not greasy at all. It was very delicious, a taste he had never tasted before.

Shen Nian was impressed by Xia Tian's cooking skills. The last time Xia Tian boasted about her cooking skills, Shen Nian remained noncommittal. Unexpectedly, this girl was not exaggerating at all. She was indeed a great cook.

"How is it? How is it?" Xia Tian asked Shen Nian repeatedly.

Seeing Shen Nian nod in approval, he suddenly became excited, "I told you, my braised food skills are superb, it must be delicious."

Shen Nian looked at Xia Tian's sudden satisfaction and his eyebrows curved.

The two of them were very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Xiatian collected the refined oil residue, put the uneaten meat and bones into the cupboard, and placed the braised offal in the space.

The weather is not too hot now, so it’s okay to leave the meat overnight.

It’s not time to go to bed yet, and Xia Tian thinks Shen Nian is in good spirits.

I leaned over and said, "Brother Shen, do you think it's okay for me to set up a stall to sell braised dishes?"
