Rebirth: I Raise a Husband in Another World

Zhang Youcai and Zhang Yingda were sitting on stools weaving bamboo backpacks, while Zhang Qiang was sitting obediently on a stool, staring at him, the outsider, with curiosity.

Zhang Youcai saw Lin Han and greeted him: "Lin boy, the house is small, please sit anywhere, your aunt and the others will be ready soon."

Lin Han was no longer reserved. He took a bench and sat down, and started playing with Ergouzi.

Lin Han: "Er Gouzi, how old are you this year?"

Zhang Qiang/Er Gouzi replied in a baby voice: "I'm two and a half years old, Uncle Lin."

Ergou was not shy either. Children all like good-looking people. When he saw Lin Han sitting down, he stood up and staggered towards Lin Han.

She kept muttering, "Uncle Lin, hold me, Uncle Lin, hold me."

This child is so cute, Lin Han also likes him very much. He picked up Ergouzi who walked in front of him and put him on his lap.

It bounced up and down, making Ergouzi laugh.

Zhang Yingda was very happy to see that they got along well.

While playing with Zhang Qiang, Lin Han watched Zhang Youcai and the others weaving bamboo backpacks. Zhang Youcai's family must have been weaving for many years.

The craftsmanship was very good and the movements were very skillful. The weaving was quick and good. In a short while, the prototype of a bamboo backpack was woven out.

Looking at the bamboo backpack that Zhang Youcai and the others had woven and placed next to them, Lin Han had an idea and remembered that he didn't have a backpack at home, so it would be inconvenient for him to go to town to buy things.

Although I have my own space, I can't just make things disappear in front of everyone.

It would be better to buy one today so that it will be convenient to store anything in it in the future.

Lin Han asked, "Uncle, I see your bamboo backpacks are large and well-woven. I want to buy one. How much is one of your well-made ones?"

Zhang Youcai and his friends didn't expect that by inviting Lin Han to their home for dinner, they could also sell a backpack.

For example, the backpacks in their home are usually saved after they are woven, and when they have enough, they are pulled together and sold in the town.

After all, you should save as much as you can. A round trip by ox cart costs six cents.

A bamboo backpack can be sold for 100 coins, but since I have to do farm work on weekdays, I can only weave it after finishing the farm work. It usually takes two or three days to weave one.

Hearing Lin Han praising their bamboo backpack, Zhang Youcai said with surprise and pride: "Lin boy, you made the right decision to buy a backpack from my family.

Our family’s bamboo backpack is in our Xinghua Village. I am second to none and no one dares to claim to be first.

You've come at a great time today. We've made seven or eight and are planning to take them to town to sell in a couple of days. Here they are, take your time choosing."

As Zhang Youcai spoke, he took out all the woven backpacks and placed them on display for Lin Han to choose from.

Lin Han didn't expect that his words touched Zhang Youcai's heart.

Lin Han smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, uncle."

Then he started to pick. In fact, Lin Han couldn't tell whether they were good or bad.

After all, these backpacks were woven by Zhang Youcai and his son himself, without any help from others, so they all look similar.

Lin Han randomly picked one that caught his eye and said to Zhang Youcai, "Uncle, this is it."

Zhang Youcai nodded and said, "Okay, we can take our backpacks to town and buy them for a hundred coins each.

Since you bought this backpack at home, I'll charge you ninety-eight coins."

Lin Han: One hundred coins each, the price is quite fair. In the original owner’s memory, most of the backpacks in the town were priced at this price.

But the Zhang family's backpack was large and well-woven, and its value was actually more than one hundred coins.

Lin Han refused: "Oh, uncle, let's just charge one hundred coins each. It's a perfect round number."

As he spoke, Lin Han reached his hand into his clothes on his chest, pretending to take out money, but in fact he was taking money out from the space. After counting out a hundred coins, he handed them to Zhang Youcai.

Zhang Youcai took the copper coins and counted them carefully. Finally, he made sure that there was nothing wrong.

He gave Lin Han a simple and honest smile: "That's enough, Lin."

Afterwards, Lin Han played with Zhang Qiang for a while, and Aunt Zhang and the others prepared the last dish.

Aunt Zhang and her daughter-in-law brought out the dishes one after another. Lin Han stood up and wanted to help, but was stopped by Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang: "Oh, you are not needed. You are a guest, why should I ask you to do all this? Just sit here and wait for me to bring the meal and then you can eat."

After saying that, Aunt Zhang turned back to the kitchen, brought out the rice steamer, and placed it on the table next to the dining table.

Aunt Zhang told her daughter-in-law, "Okay, Xiulian, bring a bowl and get some rice."

Xiulian: "I understand, mother."

Then she told her daughter, "Yingzi, bring the chopsticks and set them on the table."

Zhang Guiying: "Okay."

After Aunt Zhang scooped out the rice, they could finally start eating.

Lin Han sat on the left side of Zhang Youcai. The Zhang family was a small family with only six people in total.

There were five dishes for dinner, namely, cold bracken salad, light boiled water celery, salty boiled wild amaranth, stir-fried pork with wild onions, and stir-fried noodles.

It is spring now, and there are plenty of wild vegetables on the ridges of the fields, so most farmers will pick some to cook.

Zhang Youcai's family was used to eating these dishes, so there was no question of whether they were delicious or not.

Their favorite dish was fried pork with wild onions. Because Lin Han gave their family four pounds of wild boar meat, Aunt Zhang generously fried the wild onions and pork together.

The Zhang family rarely gets to eat this dish on weekdays, but now everyone is smiling with joy when they taste it.

Because wild boars run in the mountains and forests all year round, their meat is firm, while wild onions grow in the unpolluted nature and have a fresh and fragrant taste.

The fresh and fragrant taste of wild onions and the sweetness of pork complement each other, making the whole dish taste sweet and delicious, making people feel as if they are in the spring fields and feeling the gifts of nature.

Lin Han, on the other hand, hadn't eaten fresh vegetables for several years because of the end of the world, so he found them very fresh at this time.

Lin Han likes every wild vegetable. Noodles are rich in plant fiber and have a sweet and refreshing taste.

Lin Han took a bite of the stir-fried noodles and found them crispy and sweet.

There is also the cold-mixed fern dish. Because Aunt Zhang added chili peppers, it is spicy and crispy, and tastes very refreshing.

Huai'an Prefecture is known as a water town, and the main food crop for the people here is rice.

The Sui Dynasty is now in a period of prosperity and peace. The monarch sympathizes with the people and implements a policy of light taxes and levies.

Therefore, the staple food of the people in Xinghua Village is rice. Although the taste of this rice is not as good as the rice cultivated for many generations in later generations, it is still pretty good.

The rice steamed in the rice steamer is distinct, each grain is plump and round, and shines with natural luster like pearls.

Lin Han was not surprised to find that he was full after eating the fragrant rice and the extremely delicious fried pork with wild onions.

Aunt Zhang was very happy to see Lin Han eating a lot, which meant that Lin Han liked her food very much.
