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

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xia Tian looked out and saw Mu Feng carrying a big thing in.

She hurried out of the kitchen and saw Mu Feng throw the things he was carrying to the ground.

I looked over and was shocked!

A wild boar!

It's estimated to be three hundred pounds!

Shen Nian also came over, "You went to the mountains?"

Mu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, I met him on the back mountain. I don't know how he got to the outskirts of the area."

Xia Tian went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of water. Mu Feng took it and drank it in one gulp, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Xia Tian waved his hands, a little worried, "Will it be dangerous for everyone to go up the mountain next time?"

"I looked around and didn't encounter any other wild boars, so it should be fine."

"Well, the people in this village go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and chop firewood. If they encounter wild boars, it's easy to get into trouble."

"Then after dinner, Mu Feng will go to the village chief's house to give him a reminder." Shen Nian thought about it and decided that it would be best to tell the village chief directly about this matter. Once the village chief knew about it, he would remind the villagers.

They live in the same village, it would be wrong not to say hello.

"I'll go talk to the village chief. Mu Feng just arrived and the villagers don't know him." Xia Tian said.

Shen Nian nodded, "Okay!"

"Let's eat first, and then we'll clean up the wild boar." Xia Tian said, and went to the kitchen to serve the meal.

After Mu Feng washed his hands, he and Xia Tian brought out the dishes and placed them on the table.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, the three of them stopped talking and started eating.

It was already a little late today, and the three of them were very hungry. They finished eating everything in less than a quarter of an hour.

With Mu Feng here for these two meals, there were no leftovers.

After the meal, Xia Tian went to boil a large pot of water, Mu Feng went to clean up the wild boar, and Shen Nian helped by handing tools.

In the summer, I quickly cleaned the five pig heads and started braising them in two pots.

The wild boar skin was too thick, so Mu Feng peeled it off directly.

She took out the basin and asked Mu Feng to cut the wild boar meat into strips and put them in the basin.

There were nearly 300 kilograms of wild boar meat, but they couldn't eat much of it. Now that the weather was getting warmer, the meat couldn't be kept any longer, so they planned to make it into smoked meat in the summer.

After the pork was divided, she asked Mu Feng to cut a piece of meat weighing about five pounds and with 70% fat, put it in a basket and went to the village chief's house.

This is the first time I have visited the village chief’s house in the summer.

The village chief's wife was a very capable aunt. She welcomed her in warmly and called out to the house, "Dad, someone is looking for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in his fifties came out of the house.

She guessed that this was the village chief, he looked quite kind.

I quickly smiled and greeted him, explaining my purpose, "Uncle Village Chief, I am the daughter-in-law of the Shen family at the end of the village. My name is Xia Tian. I came here today to tell you that my brother-in-law found a wild boar outside the back mountain.

My boss is worried that there are other wild boars outside the area and that we might encounter danger when we go up the mountain, so he asked me to come and tell you."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you on behalf of the villagers. I'll arrange for someone to go investigate the mountain right away." The village chief said to Xia Tian, then turned to his wife and said, "Tell Daqing quickly and have him notify the villagers."

Seeing that the village chief had made all the arrangements, she did not stay any longer and took out the meat from the basket and gave it to the village chief's wife. "Auntie, this is the meat from the wild boar we hunted. We brought some for you. This is a little gift from us. Please accept it."

The village chief's wife refused to accept it, saying, "I don't feel comfortable doing this."

"Auntie, just accept it. My boss has been in the village for so long, and it's all thanks to the care of the village chief. You're welcome."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, the village chief's wife looked at the village chief.

"Please accept it. It's a token of my love."

The village chief spoke, and his wife accepted the meat, took the basket, and went to her own vegetable garden to pick a basket of eggplants, peppers, and loofahs. "I heard that you planted your vegetables late this year, so they probably haven't come back yet. It just so happens that the vegetables in our garden are ready to eat, so I'll bring some back for you."

"Thank you, Auntie. We don't have any of these at home. Look how juicy these vegetables are." Xia Tian took the basket with a smile. "Then I'll be leaving first. Come visit us when you have time."

The village chief's wife smiled and sent Xia Tian to the door. She only went in after she saw her go far away.

"This Shen family's daughter-in-law is really a smart person." The village chief's wife said to the village chief, taking out the meat and showing it to him, "Look, this meat weighs five pounds, and it's 70% fat."

The village chief nodded in agreement, "It's a thoughtful one."

Here, when she returned home, Mu Feng had already scraped all the fat off the pig intestines.

After telling Shen Nian about the village chief's arrangements, he put down the basket and hurried to wash with Mu Feng.

After processing the large intestine, she cut a three-pound piece of wild boar meat and sent it to Mrs. Yao's house next door.

Seeing that it was still early, she filled a basket with a few two-jin pieces of food and sent them to Aunt Chun, Aunt Sanhe and other aunts she was familiar with.

After visiting several aunts' houses, Xia Tian received a big basket full of eggplants, beans, tomatoes and so on.

Now we don’t have to worry about food at home.

She kept some for dinner and put the rest into the living room.

Shen Nian and Mu Feng, two grown men, probably wouldn't care what dishes are in her house.

The pig's head is braised, and then the pig's large intestine is braised.

In the summer, take out some of the fat and lean wild boar meat and put it in another basin, and marinate the rest with a variety of seasonings to make smoked meat.

It's almost May now, so it's okay to keep the meat for two or three days, but it will go bad if kept any longer.

She also asked Mu Feng if he wanted to sell it, and he said no, as he was a wealthy man.

It seems that I am the only poor person!

Heartbroken!

For dinner, Xia Tian made twice-cooked pork with wild boar meat and braised spare ribs, and used the dishes given by the aunts today to make spicy tomato and tomato and egg soup.

After washing up in the evening, she watched Shen Nian and the others go to bed. She went to the kitchen and secretly put the fresh wild boar meat into the space, and locked the kitchen door, just in case someone came in at night!

She could just put it back secretly tomorrow morning.

It’s okay to lock the door if you’re found out, just say it’s to prevent rats or something from getting in.

At night, lying on the kang, Xia Tian slipped into the space, looked at the messy things piled inside, and sorted them out one by one.

Currently, most of the things in the space are wooden basins, wooden barrels, baskets, wooden racks, etc. that she bought. The only vegetables are the ones that the aunts gave her today, some peppers that she bought sporadically, and a bunch of bamboo shoots that she dug on the mountain.

The only food we have is the 50 kilograms of rice and flour we bought today.

Then there are the braised dishes and wild boar meat that we prepared today.

She didn't have much money before, so she didn't think about saving anything.

Now that I'm making money, I still have to plan to store more food.

After all, this was the ancient times when people depended on the weather for their livelihood. In case of any natural disaster or man-made disaster, it would always be better to store more food.

The next day, Xia Tian went to the town, and Mu Feng went to the mountain to cut some cypress branches to smoke the meat as she instructed.

In the afternoon, when the meat is not being braised, in summer, the pickled wild boar meat is taken out and hung in the yard to dry.

After drying for two days, you can smoke it.

Time soon arrived and it was the day of the Wang family's master's birthday in town. Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was just getting light, Xia set off.

Today is April 30th, the day of the big market in town.

In the summer, he was afraid that the traffic would be inconvenient due to the large crowds, so he left before Uncle Liu's ox cart set off.

In the past two days, in addition to the 30 kilograms of pork head meat ordered by the Wang family, Xia Tian also prepared an additional 50 kilograms, 10 pairs of braised pig intestines, and 30 kilograms of braised dried tofu.

I came earlier today, and the people setting up stalls around here had just set up their stalls.

After saying hello to Xia Tian, I quickly set the table and everything.

After greeting a few scattered customers, Butler Wang came in person to pick up the goods before the agreed time.
