The wife of two taels of silver

Looking at the three baskets of sweet potatoes on the ground, Lin Haitang put her hands on her hips and asked Zhao Xiangjun, "Sister-in-law, don't you know how to eat sweet potatoes?"

"How can you eat sweet potatoes?" Zhao Xiangjun replied, "You can roast them, steam them, and so on."

Lin Haitang rolled up his sleeves, sharpened his knife, and said, "Today I'm going to make you some fresh ones. But you can't eat them today. You'll have to wait a few days before you can eat them."

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Liu Wanwan squatted on the ground and looked at the sweet potatoes with a wrinkled face.

Lin Haitang was now full of energy and said, "Come and help me, you'll understand once we finish it."

Wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces, and grind them into pulp using a stone mill. By the time I finished all this, it was already dark.

Lin Haitang, Liu Wanwan and Zhao Xiangjun had given up long ago, leaving Liu Sanyou and Zhang Ben to work there. Lin Haitang was directing them from the side, while Liu Wanwan and Zhao Xiangjun watched them work while cracking melon seeds.

All the big and small basins and big and small jars in the house were used, and they were all filled with starch water. All we had to do was wait for it to settle the next day.

Finally finished, Lin Haitang held a large bowl of water in one hand and handed it to Liu Sanyou and Zhang Ben, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Have a drink of water to quench your thirst."

This water comes from the spiritual spring in the space. In view of the fact that the two of them work very hard, Lin Haitang decided to secretly nourish their bodies.

"Sister, if it doesn't taste good, you have to compensate me." Liu Sanyou said with a dark face.

It’s no wonder that Liu Sanyou complained. He did nothing all day and just ground sweet potato pulp.

Lin Haitang raised three fingers and said, "I swear to God, it's absolutely delicious. Your wife will definitely love it."

Zhao Xiangjun greeted everyone and said, "Wake up, go eat, it's getting late."

At the dinner table, Zhang Ben and Liu Sanyou were concentrating on eating, and their chopsticks were picking up food faster than each other.

Liu Wanwan looked at Xiaobai and said, "I didn't notice it before, but today I found that Xiaobai's lost tooth has grown back."

"It's grown out? Let me see." Zhao Xiangjun went over and opened Xiaobai's mouth. Seeing the white tooth, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's really grown out! This wolf tooth can be so long."

Lin Haitang was very calm and said, "Maybe we fed him well, Xiaobai is in good health, so his teeth grew out on their own."

"That's probably true. Whose dog eats two kilograms of meat every meal? How can it not grow well?" Zhao Xiangjun touched the flesh on Xiaobai's body, nudged its head, and said, "Isn't it, Xiaobai~"

Liu Sanyou glanced at Lin Haitang, then buried his head in his food.

The next day, Lin Haitang was concerned about her sweet potato starch, so she got up early, left Gu Chen to the wet nurse, and ran to check on the pots and vats.

The sedimentation was very good. Lin Haitang poured out the water and looked at the thick layer of starch slurry at the bottom. Lin Haitang almost cried.

When Zhao Xiangjun came out, she saw Lin Haitang shoveling out starch to dry in the sun. She had already used up several scoops of starch.

"Sister-in-law, come and help me!" Lin Haitang saw Zhao Xiangjun and asked her to help spread the gauze on the grate so that she could dry the starch.

Zhao Xiangjun looked at the wet starch with curiosity, "Is this the flour made from sweet potatoes?"

Lin Haitang was sweating profusely as she looked at the starch with shining eyes. She said, "This is good stuff, sister-in-law. I guarantee that once you try it, you'll want it for the rest of your life!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lin Haitang was shoveling starch lumps with a shovel, so she had to put down the shovel and go to the door to check.

"Sister-in-law, you do it first, I'll go take a look." Lin Haitang walked towards the door.

The man at the door was dressed in black, his hair was slightly messy, his beard was unshaven, and his lips were covered with dry skin. Lin Haitang's eyes were alert. He opened the door only a crack and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The man took a step back, bowed to Lin Haitang, and said, "I was sent by Captain Gu An. May I ask if you are Captain Gu's wife, Lin Haitang?"

Why is it Gu An’s people again?

"Wait a minute." Lin Haitang said and slammed the door shut.

"Sister-in-law, where is Brother Zhang? There is a man outside the door, saying that he was sent by Gu An. Ask him to go and see if it is him. I will go and call Liu Sanyou." Lin Haitang said to Zhao Xiangjun.

If the person at the door is a bad guy, Zhang Ben alone will not be enough, Liu Sanyou must also be pulled over.

Zhao Xiangjun nodded and said, "Okay, Zhang Ben should be watering the fields in the backyard."

Before Lin Haitang reached Liu Sanyou's room, he came out and said, "Don't shout, I heard it."

"Where's Wanwan? She hasn't woken up yet?" Lin Haitang nodded and asked casually.

Liu Wanwan usually gets up early, and today the sun is not that early. I asked her casually before I saw her.

Lin Haitang swore that she had asked casually. Then she remembered something, glanced at Liu Sanyou, closed her eyes deeply, slapped herself lightly and quickly, walked forward quickly, and said, "Pretend I didn't ask, pretend I didn't ask, sorry, sorry."

For a young couple, why else would they get up late? Lin Haitang, you're such a talker!

Lin Haitang now really wants to kill herself by hitting her head against the wall, and it would be best if she never sees Liu Sanyou again.

Zhang Ben and Liu Sanyou went to check the door. When they saw the person outside, Zhang Ben was surprised. He hugged him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother!"

"Brother Zhang Ben!" Zhou Jun was also very happy. He finally found the right place.

He quickly invited Zhou Jun back to the yard.

After confirming that the person was alright, Lin Haitang came over to apologize: "Sorry, big brother, I've been a little nervous these past few days."

Zhou Jun frowned and asked, "So, your situation is indeed unsafe? I came here to confirm your safety."

"Alas," Zhang Ben turned his head with a heavy expression and said, "Madam almost lost her life."

Lin Haitang smiled and said, "Come in first. This big brother must be very tired after all the travel. I guess he hasn't eaten yet? The meal is ready, I'll go get some good wine."

"No need to trouble you, Madam, no need to trouble you..." Zhou Jun declined and was pulled into the left room by Zhang Ben.

Xiaobai lay down on the floor of the left room early waiting for dinner. When he saw Zhou Jun, and then looked at Zhao Xiangjun and Zhang Ben beside him, he immediately realized that these were new guests.

Xiaobai stood up, pulled out the stool from under the table, turned his head to look at Zhou Jun, and put his paw on the stool to signal him. Seeing that Zhou Jun was not coming over, Xiaobai walked over and pushed him with his head, pushing him next to the stool.

Zhou Jun was so surprised that he laughed out loud, "This dog is so smart! And it's so good-looking!"

Zhao Xiangjun was determined to promote Xiaobai, saying, "Our Xiaobai is smarter than anyone else!"

Lin Haitang has a large family and cooked a lot of dishes, filling up the entire table.

Zhou Jun said, "This is too much, Brother Zhang Ben, don't bother."

Zhang Ben waved his hand and said, "We have a large family, and we have Xiaobai too. They are all big eaters. Don't worry, we can finish all this."

"Brother, can you first tell me what happened to my wife? How did she almost lose her life?" Zhou Jun knew the purpose of this visit and asked about the situation.

After Zhou Jun finished asking, Zhang Ben and the others fell silent. Then Zhang Ben said, "It was Hu Yanlan. She sent someone to assassinate Madam. Madam was shot in the chest with an arrow and almost died. The baby in her belly was also born prematurely because of it. Fortunately, both mother and child are fine in the future. Otherwise, I would not be able to face Captain Gu again in this life."

Zhou Jun sighed and said, "I came here this time for this. Hu Yantuo told Captain Gu on the battlefield that his wife and children were in trouble. Afterwards, the general sent me here immediately."

Zhao Xiangjun said, "Fortunately, Madam and the young master are both fine. Captain Gu can rest assured."

The news of Hu Yantuo's death reached Hu Yanlan's ears. Two servants from the Hu Yan tribe were standing in front of her. The servants handed the envelope to Hu Yanlan and said, "Princess, the second prince has died in battle. The Chanyu has ordered you to return to the tribe quickly."

Hu Yanlan took the envelope, opened it, looked at it, and cursed in Xiongnu: "Useless thing."

Everyone retreated. Hu Yanlan called Heifeng back and asked, "Haven't you killed Lin Haitang yet?"

Heifeng said: "Princess, Liu Sanyou has been following Lin Haitang, I can't kill her."

Liu Sanyou's kung fu is better than his. With Liu Sanyou around, Heifeng's weapons can't get close to Lin Haitang.

Yesterday, when Lin Haitang and the others went to sell sweet potatoes, Liu Sanyou followed them secretly, trying to lure Heifeng out. Liu Sanyou did find Heifeng's trace, but he only injured Heifeng and failed to eradicate him.

The Chanyu summoned him urgently, and Hu Yanlan had to return.

Hu Yanlan clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "She's lucky this time. Go pack your things, we'll be leaving right away."

Lin Haitang's life is no longer threatened for the time being.
