Leisurely mountain village

"Wow, isn't that too expensive?" Lu Xiao asked.

“Yes, so I told Gu Family Cuisine that a chicken would cost 800 and a lamb 5000.” Ye Huan nodded.

"I never thought I'd be unable to afford chicken and mutton one day," Lu Xiao said with a wry smile.

"Haha, if you want some, come anytime. I'm not going to let you and your wife go hungry!" Ye Huan said generously.

"As expected of my brother." Lu Xiao said with a happy smile.

As they approached the cottage, they saw Jingjing holding Mengmeng and playing with her. Niu Niu watched enviously, too shy to approach her as he was still unfamiliar with her.

Quietly following Ye Huan, she even dared to ride the Wild Wolf Disco.

"Niu Niu, go ahead, it's okay." Ye Huan patted his head. "Meng Meng, come here, let me introduce you to a friend."

"Mea~"

“Yes, they’re all friends, just like Jingjing. His name is Niu Niu. Give him a hug,” Ye Huan said to Mengmeng.

Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, Mengmeng walked to Niu Niu's side, squatted down, and then hugged Niu Niu with her front paws. Niu Niu was so happy he almost cried.

"Haha, Mengmeng is so amazing." Niu Niu hugged Mengmeng tightly, overjoyed.

Jingjing went to hug Fuwang. Ye Huan opened the door of the small house, and everyone looked around. The place wasn't big, so they came out.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself," Xu Tingting remarked.

"Haha, isn't the point of making money to enjoy it?" Ye Huan laughed.

"Whole roasted lamb for dinner, or...?"

"You can arrange it as you see fit, we're not picky eaters," Xu Tingting said.

"Okay, you guys take a break, I'll make the arrangements." Ye Huan nodded, then called Uncle Thirteen, Ye Dajun, the wounded veteran who was currently looking after his cattle, sheep, and pigs.

"Uncle Jun, help me kill a sheep, I need it for tonight."

"Okay, I'll deliver it to your house in a bit."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Jun."

He called his dad again, "Dad, help me slaughter two chickens and a goose, and use the mushrooms I took out earlier. Have my grandpa stew the chickens."

"Okay, got it."

"Want to eat fish? If you do, come with me to get some. Tingting and your sister-in-law can watch over things here," Ye Huan asked.

"Okay, let's go~" Chu Zeng seemed quite interested.

So the three men went to the riverbank. "What do we do? Fish?" Lu Xiao asked.

"Watch me." Ye Huan jumped down and dived. He came up shortly afterward, holding a silver carp weighing about two pounds.

"Wow, this works?" the two grown men exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Huan thought the fish was too small, so she released it back into the wild, saying, "It's too small to eat. Let me take another look."

He dived down again, this time for a longer time. Just as Chu Zeng and Lu Xiao were starting to panic, he emerged. "This thing is pretty slippery. We almost let it get away."

Upon seeing this, the two immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, you're chasing something in the water?"

Ye Huan squeezed a large black fish weighing over three pounds until it was almost unconscious, then casually tossed it ashore.

"That's enough pickled fish. I'll go ask my second uncle for some mixed fish later, and you can try some mixed fish potstickers. That's the real deal," Ye Huan said to the two as he came ashore.

"You're really something." The two had to admit, this skill was rare; diving for over four minutes just to hunt down a big black fish?

"Then we're in for a treat today," Chu Zeng said with a smile. He quite liked the personalities of his wife's two classmates; they were both nice people.

"Of course! My old classmate is here, so we have to eat and drink well! Haha, my grandpa has some good wine, do you two want to try some? Although it's not as good as tiger penis wine, the effects are definitely not much different." Ye Huan said mysteriously to the two of them.

The two grown men exchanged a glance. "Heh heh, it really works?"

"Don't worry, I only told you this because we're brothers. My grandfather has treasured this for years. It's deer antler and deer penis combined with dozens of medicinal herbs. You know that old man with the white beard in town? He begged my grandfather, but my grandfather wouldn't sell him the secret recipe." Ye Huan nodded, guaranteeing the effectiveness.

"Pack me two bottles, I'll take them with me." Lu Xiao didn't stand on ceremony with him.

"Okay, is that too much? Two catties each, one tael each time is enough. Don't drink too much, or you won't be able to sleep all night. Don't blame me." Ye Huan nodded. He didn't need this stuff, but he shared some with them.

Grandpa had said that he originally planned to soak the tiger penis, but he happened to encounter a herd of deer in the mountains at that time, so he saved the tiger penis. Although deer penis and deer antler are not as effective, when combined with the medicinal herbs he personally prepared, the effect is almost as good as tiger penis wine.

Grandpa told Ye Huan that if he hadn't made a fortune by the time he got married, this jar of wine would be the money he had saved for his wedding. If he did make a fortune, he should keep it for himself to drink, as it was good for his health and virility. He wasn't just saying that.

Ye Huan never dared to underestimate his grandfather's abilities. Putting everything else aside, just look at his grandfather's tiger bone wine. How vigorous and powerful his grandfather looks now? Last time in the capital, he beat up a Grandmaster from a special team, even though they were separated by a whole realm.

He doesn't look seventy or eighty at all. Ye Huan even doubted whether he could be as energetic as his grandfather if he didn't drink the spiritual spring every day.

Ye Huan went back to change her clothes, put the fish in a basin, and her sister-in-law Bai Jie and her mother returned. Her father went to catch chickens and geese.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble. I'll go to my second uncle's house and ask if they have any miscellaneous fish," Ye Huan said to his sister-in-law.

"It's no trouble at all. You go ahead. I'll call you when the food is ready. Grandpa said he'll take care of the lamb. You go play with your friends," Bai Jie said with a smile.

"Alright." Ye Huan led the two to his second uncle's house. Luckily, there was a small basin of mixed fish and a few pounds of eels. Ye Huan took them all and left 1000 yuan for his second uncle.

Ye Huan couldn't possibly take the eels for free; they were taken by his second uncle to sell.

These wild eels easily sell for over 100 yuan per kilogram in the county town.

His second uncle said he had given too much, but Ye Huan said, "It's okay. Next time you receive it, second uncle, save it for me. I want it all." He has a pond at home, and his space has a separate spiritual spring pond for raising fish. Besides, it would be good for him to keep such good things for his own family.

This thing is not easy to deal with now.

"Alright then," the second uncle nodded and said nothing more.

When Ye Huan returned, she brought Xiao Tangyuan and Xiao Hua with her. After leaving their things at home, she took them up the mountain again.

"There's so much fruit over there, aren't you going to eat some?" Ye Huan asked Xu Tingting and the others.

"Oh, I forgot about it while playing." Xu Tingting and her companion couldn't resist the charm of the pandas and kept taking pictures while hugging the mother panda and her cub.

Niu Niu and Jing Jing saw the little glutinous rice balls. Jing Jing introduced them to the little boy, and the three of them quickly became friends.

“Your fruit is so delicious, I crave it every time I eat it. I bought some at the fruit shop yesterday and finished it as soon as I got home,” Xu Tingting said.

"I'll take you up there tomorrow, we'll camp at noon, and then you can pick your own fruit and take it home. If you keep it fresh, it can last for four or five days," Ye Huan said with a smile.
