The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

Xu Yu's worries and embarrassment were unnecessary. When she finished washing up and went out, everyone was busy in the yard.

Some people followed Jiang Qingyun to weave drying mats and drying plates, while some people were packing up the wild game and mountain delicacies they had hunted in the mountains.

Yang Wenhui was sorting the sweet potato flour and kudzu root flour that were drying nearby.

Jiang Yi, his leader and two other comrades were standing on the path outside the yard, talking about something.

On one side of the yard and under the eaves, there were piles of medicinal herbs that everyone helped to move from the Xu family today.

These medicinal herbs were packed in sacks and piled up like a small mountain.

Xu Yu first called out, "Dad, Mom."

Jiang Qingyun and Yang Wenhui looked over at the same time, both with smiles and kindness in their eyes.

Jiang Qingyun nodded at her.

Xu Yu asked, "Dad, why do you make so many drying mats and trays?"

Jiang Qingyun told her, "I thought you would want to dry medicinal herbs in the future. Since there are many people here today, I cut some extra bamboo and brought it back for everyone to weave together."

Xu Yu immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Then he looked at Yang Wenhui.

Yang Wenhui came over and took her hand, saying with a smile, "Let's go, let's go eat something first."

Then he took her to the kitchen.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Yang Wenhui didn't let her do anything. She simply served her a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge, picked up two pieces of moldy tofu from the jar, and said with a smile, "You eat first. I'll go back to collect the sweet potato flour and kudzu root powder."

Xu Yu nodded, but did not sit down. Instead, he took the porridge, picked up half a piece of moldy tofu, and followed him out.

Yang Wenhui was packing these things into portions using waterproof oil paper.

Xu Yu asked, "Mom, did you let them take these away?"

Yang Wenhui nodded and said, "They helped make these here. These guys are very hardworking. They have helped our family so much since they came here. I thought of asking them to bring some food here for their families to try."

Xu Yu nodded, took another look at the freshly hunted game, walked over with the bowl in hand and asked, "How many days does it usually take for you to get home?"

Several people talked about it.

Some lasted more than two days, some lasted more than three days, and some even lasted more than four days.

Xu Yu thought for a moment and said, "If we take them back like this, they will definitely taste bad. I'll make some marinade for you guys to stew them. It should taste better this way."

After hearing this, a few people were definitely willing, and so were the others.

Just then, Jiang Yi and a few others walked in from outside.

Jiang Yi asked her whether the herbs should be put into the warehouse first or labeled first.

Xu Yu was sure to write the labels first, so he said to him, "Brother Yi, please help me move a table out, and then take out a pen and a notebook. I will label all the herbs later."

Jiang Yi nodded, walked in, carried out a table, and also brought out a bench.

Xu Yu finished her meal quickly, prepared some marinade ingredients, and asked some people to go to the kitchen to marinate the meat. At the same time, she sat down and prepared to write labels for the pile of medicinal herbs.

Jiang Yi went to mix the rice porridge with labels for her.

Jiang Yi's leader and two others were standing nearby.

One of them asked, "Comrade Xiao Xu, there are so many herbs here. Do you remember the names of all of them?"

Xu Yu nodded: "I remember everything."

Then he asked them, "Do you want to sit down?"

The aura of these three people showed that they were not simple, so Xu Yu subconsciously treated them more politely.

The man smiled and shook his head when he asked: "No, wait for Xiao Jiang to mix the rice porridge, and then we will help."

Although the other two did not speak, they nodded at her.

Xu Yu smiled and thanked them.

After Jiang Yi prepared the rice porridge, Xu Yu sat there and waited for the three people to bring over the sacks one by one, identify them, and write the names of the medicinal materials on them. Then they put labels on the rice porridge and stuck them on the sacks.

After finishing all this, Xu Yu asked them to put them on the other side and said to them: "Some of the herbs are quite a lot, filling several sacks. I will remind you later to leave some space for the extra herbs so that they can be put together."

It just so happened that the drying mats made by Jiang Qingyun and his team came in handy.

In order to make room for them, a group of people spread out the drying mats here and took all the other things to the backyard.

There are so many kinds of medicinal herbs here, at least thousands. After writing for a while, Xu Yu's already sore body could hardly bear it anymore.

But she didn't say anything.

But was discovered by Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi came over and said to her, "Xiaoyu, you identify the herbs and I'll write them down."

Xu Yu was eager to do so and quickly pushed the pen and notebook to him.

Jiang Yi called a few people who knew how to read to help.

While they were labeling the medicinal ingredients, the aroma of braised meat wafted from the kitchen.

The smell was so good that it made a group of grown men drool.

"This is too delicious!"

"I've eaten braised food before, but why didn't I find it so delicious?"

"My sister-in-law is amazing! The marinade she prepares is even more delicious than those in state-owned restaurants. The mutton soup at the family banquet is also delicious. It's the first time I've ever known that mutton can actually have a non-muttony smell."

……

Xu Yu and his team worked until dark.

For dinner, everyone ate the meat cooked by Xu Yu.

A group of grown men couldn't stop eating.

If they hadn't thought of taking some back home for their families to try, they would have eaten all the braised food.

After dinner, everyone sat in the main hall of Jiang Yi's house.

They are leaving tomorrow. Although no one says it, everyone feels reluctant to let them go.

Jiang Qingyun and Yang Wenhui said to them, "When you have time in the future, come to our house and play. We welcome you at any time."

Jiang Yi also said: "Thank you all for your help during this period."

This made the group of men even more reluctant to leave. After all, only by following the boss could they eat meat for so many days. After returning, most of them would have to eat coarse food again.

Seeing that many people were in low spirits, the people who came later found other topics to talk about.

Xu Yu had previously thought that Jiang Yi must not let his leader know that he was taking a group of people to the black market to do business, but he didn't expect that he would find out as soon as they arrived.

While everyone was sitting in the main hall and talking, Comrade Qin, who came with Jiang Yi and was obviously of high status, asked Jiang Yi to bring Dingdang and Tiger Baby out to show them.

Jiang Yi went to the back and asked Dingdang to bring the tiger cub out.

When Jiang Yi came out, Dingdang followed him.

Dingdang held the tiger cub's neck directly in her mouth.

Dingdang put the tiger cub down only when the man and the dog walked into the main room.

The tiger cub was raised to be plump and chubby. Although it was only a dozen days old, it was already as big as a half-grown kitten.

As soon as the tiger cub was put down, it happily circled around Dingdang and didn't run around.

Xu Yu hurried over, picked up the tiger cub, and sat down with Jiang Yi.

The people who came later first praised Dingdang.

Dingdang squatted there, looking unfazed by fame or disgrace.

Then they looked at the cute and well-behaved tiger cub nestled in Xu Yu's lap. Comrade Qin said with a smile, "This cub doesn't look at all like the ferocious adult it will be. If you hadn't told him otherwise, he'd really look like a cat."

Another comrade Liu said: "It's okay to raise this little tiger when it's young, but when it grows up, it must be returned to the mountains."

Jiang Yi hummed and said, "We can't keep it for too long."

After all, it is a ferocious animal, and they can't keep it forever.

After a few words about Tiger Baby, Jiang Yi actually turned the topic directly to Xu Yu's beauty and whitening medicine.

Xu Yu was stunned for a moment when she heard him mention it. The next second she realized that he was helping her sell the product, and she couldn't help but smile at him.

Then she said to the veterans who had come before her, "I've prepared some herbs to nourish your family members and written down the recipes. When you return home, have your parents and wives try them. If they find them effective, you can then follow the recipe to get the herbs locally or go find them yourself."

No one expected Xu Yu to be so considerate. Compared to beauty and whitening medicines, their poor families really need blood nourishment. After all, poverty and fatigue have caused them, especially women, to suffer from serious blood loss.

After Xu Yu finished speaking, he went straight to give the written prescription to these people.

Then he said to Zhu Juncheng and Sun Bo, "I have prepared three sets of beauty and whitening medicine for the women in your family. They can be used until the New Year. If the effect is good, you can send us a telegram or call us, and I will ask Brother Yi to send them more."

Zhu Juncheng asked with a straightforward smile, "Why didn't sister-in-law give us the recipe?"
