A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Yunlu was unaware that she was vaguely aware of being taken back to her room and put down to lie down; her mind was filled with the scene that had just occurred.

Qin Zheng took several cold showers in the backyard.

Inside the house, you can clearly hear the sounds outside.

Brother Qin, you must be angry, right?

Yunlu felt a little confused and flustered.

How can this be explained?

The next day, as dawn broke, Yunluo woke up and remembered that she had been so excited during her bath the night before that she had forgotten to prepare some food for Qin Zheng.

The man didn't mention it, probably going back to sleep hungry.

As she dressed, she secretly blamed herself. When she came out of the house, she saw Qin Zheng already in the yard tending to the roe deer.

"Brother Qin, I'll go make breakfast!"

"Sister, brother-in-law..."

A deliberately hushed knock came from the door.

Yunluo opened the door, and Xiaojie stood there, carrying a basket covered with a cloth, from which steam rose and a fragrant aroma wafted.

"These are steamed buns that Mom made this morning, filled with wild vegetables and rabbit meat. You can take some with you on the road, and the rest can be given to the two children." Yun Shaojie chuckled, unaware that the two were sleeping in separate beds.

rabbit?

Did Qin Zheng visit his parents' home when he came back last night?

They even gave us rabbit meat?

Yun Luo was somewhat stunned.

Seeing his sister's puzzled look, Yun Shaojie understood. His brother-in-law disdained to talk about such things, but to them, it was a great favor that they could not forget. "Sister, brother-in-law brought a rabbit over last night."

"Of course, Xiao Luo. You talk to Xiao Jie for a bit, I'll go in and pack my things first."

"Okay." Yun Luo agreed. This man seemed cold on the surface, but he was warm-hearted. Turning her head, she saw the buns in the basket that were clearly made of a mixture of wheat flour and cornmeal, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you find the flour?"

"My mother traded half a rabbit for it."

"you……"

"Sister, I know what you're going to say. Brother-in-law is good to us, and Mom said we can't accept things for nothing, otherwise we'd be ungrateful. If you keep nagging, Mom and I won't dare accept anything from brother-in-law anymore. By the way, sister, Mom asked me to ask if brother-in-law is good to you?"

Yun Shaojie spoke the last sentence in a low voice, glancing into the room as he spoke, as if afraid the people inside would hear.

Yunlu smiled, "Don't worry, he's fine."

Yun Shaojie was still somewhat uneasy, after all, the rumors about his brother-in-law were really...

He wanted to ask something more, but Qin Zheng had already come out, so he had to give up.

In Xiuping Town, a three-day market is held on the 1st, 14th, and 27th of each month. Farmers from nearby areas come here to buy and sell their goods, just like a modern farmers' market.

There are many kinds of things, including mountain products that you can't usually see, as well as strange and unusual items.

Yun Luo was stunned. She thought she had arrived early enough, but she was still too late. "Brother Qin, let's go and reserve a spot."

Qin Zheng looked around and then said, "All the good spots inside are taken right now, so we'll set up a stall on the outskirts of Washi. As long as people pass by, we won't have to worry about selling them."

"it is good."

The two squeezed through the crowd for a while before finding an open space on the outskirts to put their things down.

Yunlu noticed that the vendors at the stalls next to her would shout a few words to attract customers as soon as they saw her.

There were no customers at their stall yet. She took out some steamed buns, ate them, and asked Qin Zheng about the market prices to get a general idea.

As the sun rose higher, other people's stalls were selling well, but some people glanced at their stall and didn't even get close, avoiding it altogether. Yun Luo muttered to herself.

What's wrong? She and Brother Qin are quite good-looking, they shouldn't scare people away, right?

and many more……

Yun Luo suddenly realized something, turned her head and saw that the person next to her had a cold demeanor and stern eyes. Compared to the young man selling cabbages next to her who was all smiles, he looked rather...serious.

No wonder no one came to sell; seeing Brother Qin like this, who would dare to come over?

Moreover, she didn't expect any family to buy a whole roe deer; they'd get tired of eating it every day.

Yunlu wanted to laugh, but held it back. "Brother Qin, could you lend me a small table? We'll sell the roe deer separately."

"Okay." Qin Zheng seemed to understand something and quickly went to borrow a table.

"Brother Qin, you're in charge of cutting the roe deer open, separating the meat from each part, and putting it on the table. I'll be in charge of calling out the meat," Yun Luo instructed.

"it is good!"

Qin Zheng agreed, and with a swift turn of his knife, he dismembered a roe deer into eight pieces.

His technique was skillful, and his movements were crisp and graceful, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

Yun Luo's heart was pounding. They say that men who work hard are the most handsome, and it's true.

She swallowed hard, looked at the crowd, and called out, "Dear uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters-in-law, don't miss out! The freshest roe deer meat in Xiuping Town is ready! Come and take a look!"

Qin Zheng's knife froze, and a slow smile curved his lips.

"Young lady, how much is your roe deer meat?" An old woman asked, carrying a basket filled with vegetables and wearing fine cotton clothes.

Now that Yunluo had a better understanding, she smiled and said, "The price of roe deer meat varies depending on the cut. Will you cook it at home, or stir-fry it, ma'am?"

"What's the difference? Aren't they all meat? How come a roe deer can fetch multiple prices? I've never heard of that before." The old woman shook her head.

Yunluo wasn't in a hurry and patiently explained, "Auntie, the meat near the leg has more tendons, so it's soft and tender when cooked. It's 25 coins a pound and delicious. The meat from the belly and ribs is tender and perfect for stir-frying. It's 30 coins a pound. Which part do you want?"

The old woman was delighted when she heard this. She thought the price would be high, but it was cheaper than she expected. She felt it was a good deal. "Young lady, give me a pound of each, here you go."

"Alright." Yun Luo took the money and turned around. Qin Zheng had already handed over the cut meat. Yun Luo smiled and said, "Auntie, take care."

"Give me a pound too..."

"Young lady, are you giving away these bones?" Someone who had bought meat wanted some bones, but felt it wasn't worth paying for them, so they asked.

Yunlu knew exactly what was going on and smiled, "Brother, don't underestimate these bones just because they have no meat. They're really good. You can make soup at home, which will keep the elderly healthy and help children grow taller. If you buy a pound of bones for five coins, we'll give you a free bowl of roe deer blood. You can stew it at home; it tastes delicious."

"Okay, give me one pound."

The roe deer meat was reasonably priced, and Yunluo was very friendly. No matter how much she sold, she was always smiling, and her words were as sweet as honey. Soon, a crowd gathered in front of her stall.

The couple worked together and sold most of the goods.

The woman selling meat noticed that although the two seemed affectionate, they were also somewhat shy around each other, not even daring to touch hands. She teased, "Young lady, you two haven't been married long, have you?"

"Yes, they've only been married for a couple of days."

"No wonder, they both seem quite shy. Young man, you need to be bolder and more proactive so you can get to hold a baby soon."

……

People around them, seeing that something good was going on, all came to tease the two of them.

Qin Zheng pursed his lips and didn't say anything. Yun Luo blushed deeply but didn't care. They meant no harm; they just wanted to buy things.

"Auntie, you bought three catties of meat. I'll teach you a way to remove the gamey smell. I guarantee that when you make it for your older brother, he'll want more and pester you to eat it." Yun Luo leaned closer and said with a grin.

The butcher was taken aback, then understood the meaning behind Yun Luo's words. Her face flushed, feeling both shy and sweet. "Alright, because of what you said, I'll buy two more pounds of bones."
