"But such a big wild boar can be sold for a lot of money, right?" Yu Banxia finally asked the question that was on her mind.

Yu Hongwen affectionately patted her head: "As long as Xiaxia is safe and sound, our family is safe and sound, that's enough. You're right, the clan and village have helped our family a lot over the years."

"Now that you've come back from the brink of death, you're awake and sensible, we're overjoyed."

"It's been a long time since we've had a happy occasion at home, so using this wild boar to celebrate Xiaxia's safety is a wonderful idea."

It would be a lie to say that Yu Banxia wasn't moved after hearing Yu Hongwen's words.

"Father, I will make sure everyone lives a good life in the future." Yu Banxia's eyes reddened.

Yu Hongwen felt sorry for you and quickly comforted you, "It's alright, why are your eyes red? Father believes in you."

"We believe in you too," Yu Manguan and the others said in unison.

The village chief and the others looked at her with smiles, making Yu Banxia feel embarrassed. These were such kind and lovely people.

With everyone's help, we finally managed to get this big guy down from the mountain.

Many women in the village looked on with envy, but after the village chief finished speaking, the envy on their faces disappeared and was replaced by excitement.

"Oh my, Cuilan, your daughter is so sensible these days!" A woman saw Fan Cuilan and her mother-in-law coming over and quickly went up to praise her.

Fan Cuilan was still a little confused, but soon she heard the reason from the woman and couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Zhuxiang felt a little resentful. If she sold such a big wild boar, her son might be able to go to school.

However, seeing the happy faces of his family, he quickly suppressed this feeling.

They greeted her happily: "Our Xiaxia is truly a lucky star. The three of you managed to hunt such a big wild boar just by going up the mountain."

That's not wrong. Not long after Yu Banxia was born, Yu Hongwen passed the imperial examination and became a student.

However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to continue taking the exam.

After Yu Banxia was born, good things happened one after another in the family, which is why Yu Banxia is called a little lucky star.

Perhaps this is also a reason why Yu Banxia is doted on by her family.

Regardless of anything else, there is no doubt that the Yu family genuinely dotes on Yu Banxia.

Soon, Anping Village was bustling with activity. Some people were slaughtering pigs, while the women were picking vegetables from their own fields.

People from nearby villages, knowing that the third son of the old scholar in Anping Village had killed a wild boar, also came to see what was going on.

Some people, seeing how big the wild boar was, went up to ask if they could buy some meat to try.

The village chief said to Yu Hongwen, "This wild boar is so big, why don't you sell half of it and keep the other half for yourselves? That way you can get some money too."

"That works too." This wild boar is indeed too big. Even if the whole village ate it, they probably wouldn't be able to finish it. Rather than wasting it, it's better to sell half of it.

After the wild boar was slaughtered, half of it was sold to nearby villagers who wanted it.

The rest stayed behind to cook. Wu Zhuxiang was among the women cooking, while Yu Banxia took a small basket and rummaged through the seasonings.

Finding that a few things were still missing, they thought of Doctor Zhao, so they pulled Yu Banyue toward Doctor Zhao's house.

"Is that Xiao Banxia? You've come to see me?" Doctor Zhao was drying medicinal herbs in the yard when he saw the two sisters coming over and asked Yu Banxia with a smile.

Yu Banxia nodded: "Dr. Zhao, I'd like to buy some pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, cardamom, licorice root, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves from you."

"What do you need these for?" Doctor Zhao asked curiously.

"Make seasonings and braise meat."

"Braised meat, with these?" Doctor Zhao was quite surprised. He had traveled all over the country and had seen some places use these things to make food.

But this little girl has always lived in the village; how did she know?

Yu Banxia's lips curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. The old fox had taken the bait.

What he wanted was to pique his curiosity. Doctor Zhao looked up at Yu Banxia, ​​who smiled at him with her eyes narrowed. But Zhao Boxian felt that her smile was strange just now. But upon closer inspection, it was just a silly, ingratiating smile. Could it be that he was mistaken?

"Wait here." Doctor Zhao turned and went back into the house, taking out what she needed from the medicine cabinet.

"I heard you hunted a wild boar today and are going to treat the whole village to a feast. I won't charge you, since I'm going to mooch a meal anyway."

"I can speak with such grace and poise," said Dr. Zhao.

Yu Banxia accepted the gift with a smile and thanked him repeatedly: "Then thank you, Dr. Zhao. Please come soon."

"Okay," Doctor Zhao smiled and replied.

The two sisters turned around and went back. Dr. Zhao watched their departing figures, smiled and shook his head.

He went to organize his medicinal herbs again.

"Sister-in-law." Yu Banxia found Wu Zhuxiang with the seasonings. Wu Zhuxiang wiped her sweat and looked at her.

"what happened?"

Yu Banxia pulled Wu Zhuxiang aside and began to explain, "Sister-in-law, I'll teach you how to make a braised dish. Can you follow my steps?"

"When did you learn to cook?" Wu Zhuxiang asked curiously, slightly surprised.

Yu Banxia whispered, "I don't know how. I learned from a royal chef in the Ghost Realm, but unfortunately I don't have the talent. However, I've memorized all the steps."

Wu Zhuxiang was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and whispered, "Will your method really taste good?"

"Of course." Yu Banxia puffed out her small chest and nodded confidently.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuxiang did not insist any further.

As she instructed, she brought over two pig trotters, along with the prepared pig's head, large intestine, and other items.

Following Yu Banxia's instructions, they blanched the pig's head, caramelized the sugar, put the prepared seasonings into the pot, added soy sauce and other seasonings, and then put the pig's head and other ingredients into the pot.

Yu Banxia saw that soy sauce in this world was very simple, and perhaps later she could teach the villagers how to brew soy sauce and vinegar.

But that's a story for later; the aroma of meat soon wafted from Anping Village.

Xu Xiucai, sitting by the window, lost all interest in his studies. He had just heard that the Yu family in Anping Village had hunted a wild boar.

He was initially confident that Yu Banxia would definitely bring him pork, but when the aroma reached his house and no one came, he couldn't sit still any longer.

What's going on with Yu Banxia?

Xu Xiucai got up and walked out of his house toward Anping Village.

Yu Banxia was watching her nephews and nieces playing at the village entrance when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

She suddenly felt disgusted. She hadn't even caused him any trouble yet, and this guy had actually wandered right up to her.

"Miss Yu, I heard you injured your head earlier, are you feeling better now?"

Xu Xiucai didn't expect to see Yu Banxia at the village entrance. He quickly straightened his faded clothes and walked up to Yu Banxia, ​​pretending to be gentle.

"Since you care so much, why didn't you bring anything to visit me?"

"You've taken a lot of things from me before, haven't you?" He originally thought Yu Banxia had forgotten and would rush to get him wild boar meat when she saw him.

Unexpectedly, this was the answer he received. Xu Xiucai stood there dumbfounded, as if he didn't recognize Yu Banxia anymore.
