Transmigrated into a child bride, she punishes scumbags, raises children, and marries a soldier.

"My God, you've raided a squirrel's nest!" Li Dazui looked at Zhou Chuan's house through the vegetable garden and was very surprised. There were a lot of chestnuts and hazelnuts drying in the yard, as well as a lot of mushrooms that he couldn't name.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan grabbed a handful of chestnuts and handed them to Li Dazui, saying, "Try some!"

Li Dazui took them, tasted a few, found them quite sweet, and gave a thumbs up, "Girl, you're really capable!"

Zhou Chuan waved his hand, "I don't have that skill. My wife picked them all. Recently, their regiment has been training in the mountains, right? Xiao Ran was thinking about the chestnuts on the mountain and kept asking him to take her up the mountain to hunt. Training is tiring, and the two little ones at home are craving them, so they just brought back whatever they could find to eat."

"It's been so tough for me. I'm constantly thinking about how to cook these ingredients in different ways. And I'm always worried they'll spoil, so I keep moving them around to dry in the sun." Zhou Chuan sighed, "Getting married was such a waste!"

Li Dazui smacked his lips, but still didn't lie and say anything bad about Xiao Beichen. "Girl, you should be content. I used to think Commander Xiao was a bad guy because of his scoundrel-like appearance, but I didn't expect him to be so family-oriented. He brings home all sorts of good things he sees."

“My husband is so quiet, he can’t even fart for half a day. I want him to come with me to pick some wild food in the mountains, but he’s too lazy to move. He insists that all the wild food in the surrounding area has been picked, and there’s nothing left to pick.”

Zhou Chuan smiled and comforted her, "Sister Li, maybe your husband is just worried about you and afraid you'll get tired in the mountains. Besides, it's true that some mountain products are hard to find this time of year."

Li Dazui snorted coldly, "He's just lazy, he doesn't have that many excuses. Unlike Commander Xiao, who is both capable and family-oriented. He went to this training session, but didn't bring anything back."

"No, when he gets back, I need to have him learn from Commander Xiao."

"Oh dear, Sister Li, your vegetables look really good. How come the cucumbers are still growing?" Zhou Chuan changed the subject before Li Dazui could finish complaining.

Li Dazui paused for a moment, then looked at his own vegetable garden. "Hey, this cucumber variety is good, and I take good care of it, so it's still producing some. If you like, pick some to take home later."

Zhou Chuan waved his hand with a smile, "How can that be? Same as always, sell me any extras. You grow these vegetables so well, you must have put a lot of effort into them, I can't just take them for free."

Li Dazui enthusiastically grabbed Zhou Chuan's hand, "What are you saying, girl? We're neighbors." As he spoke, he walked into the vegetable garden, picked all the cucumbers, and earned another dollar. He forgot all his troubles from before.

Back in the kitchen, Zhou Chuan cut the six cucumbers she bought into long strips, removed the seeds, sprinkled them with salt, stirred them well, and rinsed them with clean water. She then put minced garlic, minced ginger, dried chili pepper pieces, sugar, light soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar into a bowl, and poured a spoonful of hot oil over it. With a sizzle, the aroma instantly filled the air.

"Honey, what smells so good?" Xiao Beichen walked into the kitchen, took a deep breath, and said with a smile.

Zhou Chuan looked up at him and said, "I'll pickle a different kind of cucumber for you. Try it." He then picked up a cucumber and held it to Xiao Beichen's lips.

Bei Chen took a bite and made a crunching sound. "Hmm? How come it's so crispy? It's pretty good, crispy and fragrant."

Yesterday, Xiao Beichen brought back a pheasant. Zhou Chuan looked at the pickled cucumbers and thought about how he could make some other dishes to go with it.

She decided to use the ingredients she had at home to make a braised chicken with chestnuts.

She first selected some plump chestnuts from the drying chestnuts, then used a knife to make a cross-shaped cut on the top of each chestnut. Next, she boiled a pot of water, put the chestnuts in, and cooked them for a few minutes. This made it easy to peel the shells and inner skins off the chestnuts. Before long, a pile of golden chestnut meat was laid out on the cutting board.

Zhou Chuan cut the pheasant into evenly sized pieces, put them in a pot of cold water, added ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, blanched them, and then took them out and drained the water.

Next, she heated the pan, poured in some oil, added ginger slices and sautéed them until fragrant, then added the chicken pieces and stir-fried. With a sizzling sound, the chicken gradually changed color, turning a light golden brown and emitting an enticing aroma.

Then, she added enough water to cover the chicken, brought it to a boil over high heat, and then simmered it over low heat. After about twenty minutes, the chicken was almost cooked through, and Zhou Chuan added the peeled chestnuts to the pot to continue simmering with the chicken.

While the food was simmering, Zhou Chuan noticed some hazelnuts and had a sudden inspiration to make hazelnut pancakes.

She shelled the hazelnuts, put them in a bag, crushed them with a rolling pin, added goat milk and flour to a bowl, and stirred until well mixed.

The aroma of braised chicken with chestnuts filled the entire kitchen. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the chestnuts had absorbed the savory taste of the chicken broth, becoming soft, sweet, and juicy. Zhou Chuan reduced the sauce over high heat, allowing the thick broth to coat the chicken and chestnuts tightly. Finally, he sprinkled on some bright green scallions, and a delicious and visually appealing braised chicken with chestnuts was ready.

Next, Zhou Chuan brushed a thin layer of oil into the frying pan, poured a spoonful of hazelnut batter into the pan, and cooked it over low heat. Soon, small bubbles appeared on the surface of the pancake. She gently flipped it over, and cooked the other side until golden brown. In this way, soft, hazelnut-scented pancakes were easily made.

"Dinner's ready!" Zhou Chuan called out.

While helping to serve the dishes, Xiao Beichen secretly ate a hazelnut pancake, his eyes squinting with delight at the aroma.

Xiao Ran and Xiao Mianmian ran downstairs quickly, their eyes lighting up when they saw the delicious food on the table.

"Wow, Mom, it smells so good! What is this?" Xiao Ran asked, pointing to the braised chicken with chestnuts.

Zhou Chuan said with a smile, "This is braised chicken with chestnuts and hazelnut pancakes. Wash your hands and come have a taste. Do you like them?"

Xiao Ran and Xiao Mianmian cheered and ran to the sink. After washing their hands, they couldn't wait to sit down at the table. Xiao Ran picked up a piece of chicken, took a gentle bite, and the chicken fell off the bone. The tender texture and rich sauce blended in his mouth, and his eyes lit up instantly. "Mom, it's so delicious! This chicken smells so good, and the chestnuts are sweet too."

"It's so delicious! The pancakes are soft and have a wonderful aroma."

After this meal, Xiao Beichen became even more interested in the wild game on the mountain. He would try to bring home anything edible. While his comrades who had been training on the mountain looked dusty and thin, he became stronger and stronger.

He shows off his big teeth every day, which means he's in good spirits.
