Baiyue Cave Master

"Come on, Yuan Chao, Yuan Yuan's peanuts are ready, come and try them."

Wang Yuanchao sat on the sofa early in the morning, holding his young wife in his arms, lighting the fireplace, drinking tea, and being affectionate with each other, feeling very comfortable.

Widow Du started preparing various fried snacks at home early in the morning.

In the Northeast in mid-October, the temperature outside has reached 0°C, which is extremely cold.

For the people here, this period is the last time to look for supplies before hibernation.

When the snow really starts to fall, the temperature will drop to -30-40 degrees Celsius, and it will be difficult to go out.

When the Red Flag Brigade harvested in autumn, all the supplies in Wang Yuanchao's home were moved back one after another. Even the firewood was piled up in an entire woodshed, which was enough to burn for a whole winter, if not a whole year.

Wang Yuanchao held his young wife in his arms, reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts, peeled off the shells, and tasted them.

Well, it’s pretty good. The peanuts are fried with river sand. They are all original peanuts. Wang Yuanchao likes to eat them.

The young couple was laughing and playing while eating peanuts. Not long after, Widow Du brought in another bowl of food.

"Yuan Chao, Yuan Yuan, the melon seeds are ready. Come and taste them to see if they are cooked through."

"Okay, mom, um, it's good, it's delicious."

"As long as it tastes good, I'll put it in a jar and seal it. You can take it whenever you want to eat it, otherwise it will become deflated quickly."

"Okay, mother."

After a while, Widow Du came in again.

"Yuan Chao, Yuan Yuan, come and try this walnut to see if it's ripe."

Wang Yuanchao grabbed a handful of walnuts that Widow Du handed over, picked up one and squeezed it hard. The walnut shell cracked with a "crack".

Wang Yuanchao fed some of the walnut meat to his young wife and ate some himself.

"Mm, it's delicious. Mom's cooking skills are amazing. It's great."

What does Wang Yuanchao like most about this era?

What I like most is the legacy of women's thoughts in this era.

Although the slogan "Women can hold up half the sky" is loud and clear,

But in this era, if there is no man in the family, it’s like the sky is falling!

Women must listen to men!

A man must be the pillar of the family.

A man must be a boss.

There is no doubt about this!

No matter who comes!

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao couldn’t help but think of those sensational “pampering wife” videos on Tik Tok in later generations!

Wang Yuanchao felt aggrieved for those men!

It's more fun to be a master than to be a slave.

A person's life is neither long nor short. People's thoughts and emotions are complex and changeable.

Wang Yuanchao would never put his destiny in the hands of others.

Therefore, Wang Yuanchao would not let anyone know the secret of the space except himself.

No matter how much you like your young wife, you can't put your life in her hands. That would be irresponsible to your own life.

Life is so long that people will change. Wang Yuanchao knows how unreliable it is to open your heart to others without reservation.

"Yuan Chao, Yuan Chao, come and help us, let's start smoking the bacon."

Wang Yuanchao hugged his young wife and responded loudly:

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After saying this, he put his young wife on the sofa, put on his cotton jacket and shoes, and went to the porch.

Looking at the chest-high stone smokehouse on the porch,

Widow Du had already placed wooden sticks on the table. Wang Yuanchao immediately went into the kitchen, took out the dried meat, and asked Widow Du to place them on the wooden sticks.

Soon the meat was all over the sticks, and Widow Du said:

"Almost done, almost done. There is too much meat at home to smoke all of it in one go."

After saying this, Widow Du poured the husks into the table.

"The bacon smoked with rice husks tastes the best.

The smoky flavor is delicious when it enters your mouth.

You will be blessed then.”

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Not to mention that we couldn't finish smoking it all at once, the wild boar meat that Wang Yuanchao had raised at home weighed more than 400 kilograms.

These wild boar meats were carefully selected by Wang Yuanchao from small wild boars weighing only about 100 kilograms.

The meat on the body is not so fishy or tough, and tastes better.

Add to that mutton, leopard meat, roe deer meat, venison, pheasant, duck, rabbit,

Can't finish it, can't finish it at all.

Widow Du used some straw to light the husks on the table, then covered the meat on the table with a few sacks and began to smoke the bacon.

One good thing about smoking bacon with rice husks is that it produces a lot of smoke. When rice husks burn, it is basically a dark flame, and the amount of smoke is very large. The meat can be smoked in one day and one night.

After finishing the bacon, Wang Yuanchao returned to the room and got a wooden tray. He put some White Rabbit milk candies, fruit candies, peanuts, melon seeds, pine nuts, walnuts, honey three-knife, peach cakes, frozen pears, and frozen persimmons on it and brought it to the coffee table next to the sofa.

I put some more firewood into the stove on the fire wall to keep the temperature in the room at around 20 degrees Celsius.

Then he sat on the sofa again, hugged his young wife, let her sit on his lap, and kissed her little mouth.

"Well, well, sir, I can't breathe, let me catch my breath."

Seeing this, Wang Yuanchao opened his mouth, and Zhang Yuanyuan immediately gasped for breath.

While saying:

"My Lord, wasn't last night enough? Why are you so excited again so early in the morning?"

"Hehe, my little wife is so well-behaved and beautiful, how can it be enough? It will never be enough, haha."

Zhang Yuanyuan patted Wang Yuanchao coquettishly.

"My dear, every day is not enough for me. I want to stick to you all the time. It feels so good. I am so happy."

"Haha, it just so happens that we are in hibernation, so we can stick together every day. It feels so good just thinking about it."

The couple embraced each other passionately. After a long time, Zhang Yuanyuan suddenly exclaimed:

"Look outside, sir. Look, it's snowing."

Wang Yuanchao immediately turned around and saw that it was indeed snowing.

The young couple sat on the sofa, looking at the light snow outside the window, which was falling to the ground little by little, fluttering in the wind. It was so beautiful and romantic.

As a native of Hunan Province, Wang Yuanchao actually sees one or two snowfalls every year, but they are usually not heavy.

Now, after seeing the scene of snow flying all over the sky, he stood up, took out his nine-headed tea set and clay stove, and pulled Zhang Yuanyuan and Widow Du to start making tea around the stove.

The crackling sound of burning wood inside the house and the falling sound of snowflakes outside complement each other.

The warm house formed a sharp contrast with the bitter cold of the north wind, snow and fog outside.

Wang Yuanchao and his family were brewing Kung Fu tea with great interest. The boiling steam made the lid of the iron kettle hum.

"This snow is really nice. It's falling like a quilt. It's so heavy."

"This is just the beginning, this is just a little snow.

It will probably snow heavily in a little while."

"Mother-in-law, you have experience. How thick do you think the snow will be by tomorrow?"

"If the snow continues to fall tomorrow, it will probably be up to your knees."

"Well, this is a beautiful view."

"Yes, it's so beautiful."
