A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

Xia Ning glanced at him, thinking, "This ignorant fellow only knows how to eat meat."

"I'll show you something new today."

Spicy and sour sea cucumber, braised duck pieces, braised shark fin, spicy stir-fried octopus, spicy fish with scallions, Dongpo pork, braised pork knuckle, auspicious prawns, crystal pumpkin, and cucumber stir-fried with vinegar. A large bowl of white rice.

A jar of chilled rice wine.

"Big Ha, Little Ha, come here!"

With a wave of his hand, the two wolves wagged their tails, their faces fawning.

The best food is only available from the master.

A wolf, a chicken, a spare rib, and a watermelon cut in half.

The two wolves, happily carrying the chicken in their mouths, returned to their den. They loved it when their owner gave them extra food! Their owner was the best!

"Would you like some wine or sweet soup?"

Jiang Yi: He'd heard Xiao Ning say that a real man eats meat and drinks wine heartily. She hated effeminate little men.

Although he didn't know what "sissy" meant, he believed that a man who didn't drink was definitely not a real man.

"drink wine!"

Oh my, I've got a drinking buddy today.

good! good!

Fill it up for him.

She picked up a sea cucumber, soft, chewy, and delicious! Then she took a sip of millet wine, and Xia Ning squinted her fox-like eyes in satisfaction.

This life is fucking comfortable!

This was Jiang Yi's first time drinking alcohol. He remembered Xia Ning saying that he should drink it in big gulps.

A small bowl, which is just a small sip for him. It's a bit pungent, a bit spicy, a bit bitter, and it burns a little as it slides down his throat.

This stuff really doesn't taste good; it's not as good as sweet soup.

"Come on, let's drink to this to celebrate moving into our new home!"

Jiang Yi picked up his bowl and clinked it against hers.

"Try this, it's sea cucumber, it's very nourishing and delicious."

It was dark and looked similar to an insect, only fatter and bigger. And that wasn't all; its body was covered in bumps. How could Xiao Ning possibly eat such an ugly thing?

They actually said it tastes good?

He put it in his mouth; it was soft and slippery, and he couldn't describe the taste.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's not as good as braised pork knuckle," he said truthfully.

Xia Ning rolled her eyes. What an ignorant fool. He's like a wild boar that can't eat fine chaff.

"Then you eat the meat, and I'll leave the sea cucumber."

If she didn't want to eat it, fine. The seafood in ancient times was all natural and wild, and the taste was many times better than in her previous life. Although the meat was also delicious and natural, as a native of the south, she preferred seafood.

"Where should we start picking up goods tomorrow?"

"Let's start searching from where we're staying." Xiao Ning always chose the best spot in the house.

"Row."

Watching him finish the bowl in one gulp, Xia Ning was speechless. He really was drinking like water; she wouldn't be going to serve him if he got drunk.

"Jiang Yi, drink slowly."

The man was already a little dizzy. Looking at Xia Ning's two figures in front of him, he asked in a daze, "Didn't you say we were going to drink a lot?"

Xia Ning sighed, "At this rate, our stockpile of alcohol will be gone in no time. What will we drink then? Besides, getting drunk is bad for your health. Drink slowly, okay?"

Jiang Yi nodded.

He understood; there wasn't much of this awful stuff left, and once it was all gone, Xiao Ning wouldn't have any more to drink. Dizzy, he put down his bowl and focused on eating the meat on his plate.

Xia Ning: ……

This guy is still a simpleton, which is fine, at least he's obedient and easy to manage.

A meal lasted from afternoon until sunset.

Both of them were a little drunk.

With the man's help, Xia Ning staggered back to her bedroom and collapsed into bed. She woke up from the heat and instinctively placed a bucket of ice by her bedside to cool down before going back to sleep.

As for Jiang Yi, she had completely forgotten about it. The two wolves, being afraid of the heat, naturally sought out a cool place, spending the entire night lying by Xia Ning's bedside.

Only Jiang Yi was truly miserable. The bed was too hot, so he slept on the floor. He had stripped almost all his clothes off and barely managed to get through the night.

His head still ached when he woke up the next day.

Alcohol is really no good!

"Xiao Ning, are you feeling unwell?" the man asked with concern upon seeing her.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a man wearing only a pair of shorts and barefoot. Xia Ning's eyes twitched violently.

"Didn't I tell you, you're not allowed to be naked at home?" This guy just loves to strip naked and parade himself in front of her, completely oblivious to the concept of shame.

"But I'm hot!"

The man felt wronged; his clothes were not only covered in sweat but also dirty.

Xia Ning took a closer look and noticed that he was covered in dirt. What had this guy been doing so early in the morning?

He took out two buckets of water and said, "Go wash up."

"Hey!" He wanted to take a shower now; he was covered in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Looking at the scorching sun outside, I know that drinking will cause me to make mistakes, and the delivery will be delayed for another day.

After collecting junk for two consecutive days, Xia Ning lost her patience. Seriously? Are they all moving so cleanly?

He took out the gold and silver, along with a few pieces of jewelry, from his spatial storage. "Big Ha, Second Ha, see? These are all the treasures. Go out and see where else you can find them. Also, tell me about any other things you think are good. Remember to avoid crowds and go out tonight. If you find anything, you'll get a bonus!"

Don't blame her for employing child laborers; after raising them to adulthood, they should be earning some money for themselves.

Jiang Yi repeated Xia Ning's words, knowing that their owner liked sparkly things, loved treasures, and was happy to find extra treats!

In their quest for food, the two wolves worked extra hard, spending the entire night wandering outside.

Xia Ning, who had received the goods, was getting worried as they didn't return.

"Jiang Yi, shall we go out and look for them?"

"No need, it's alright. If ordinary disaster victims see them, it's hard to say who will kill whom."

As he spoke, he continued packing the things in his hands to make it easier for her to receive them.

She didn't seem to be comforted.

Finally, after much anxiety, she saw them return.

Why did you two take so long?

Next time, tell them that if they can't find it, they'll come back immediately. Compared to their safety, those things are nothing.

"Ouch..."

"They said they couldn't find anything; there's nothing here but wood."

Xia Ning died!

She was convinced!

In novels, during famine years, there are always treasures left behind by people, and ancestral treasures hidden for many years. So why is it so difficult for her to find even a few copper coins?!

Gold and silver are actually not very useful now. Natural disasters will eventually end. If we don't make money now, when everything is in ruins, there won't be any left for her.

As for how much, silver is never too much; the more the better.
