Huatuo Home.

Yan Nanfei bought a lot of groceries and came to his house to cook.

"Miss Yan, why did you suddenly make so many dishes?" Lin Feng sat on a small stool, plucking chicken feathers as he asked, puzzled, "Is there some good news to announce?"

Lin Feng asked Feng Shan, but Feng Shan shook his head and did not answer.

This mysterious behavior aroused Lin Feng's curiosity.

Yan Nanfei chuckled and made a shushing gesture: "This is a surprise, keep it a secret."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. What secret could possibly require such secrecy?

Lin Feng racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution, so he simply gave up and focused on plucking the chicken feathers.

"By the way, Fengshan, go home and get some eggs. I want to steam eggs." Fengshan and Linfeng had never heard of steamed eggs before, as Yan Nanfei was referring to.

"Yes, my lady." Feng Shan returned with the water and poured the two buckets of water into the water vat.

These two water tanks are only filled to one level; the mountain will be closed later, and the water tanks will be filled to the next level.

Yan Nanfei nodded. After leaving the mountain, Yan Nanfei sat down by the door and picked some vegetables.

I must say, the vegetables grown during the mountain closure are truly beautiful.

They are plump and juicy, with a vibrant green color.

It looks sweet, not to mention how delicious it tastes.

Hua Tuo, leaning on a wooden stick, came out from inside: "Miss Yan, let me help you pick some vegetables?"

This wooden stick was made by Fengshan for Huatuo.

Yan Nanfei taught him to make a support for his cane, so that Huatuo could walk more steadily, as if he had an extra leg.

It's hundreds of times better than that stick that was just a wooden stick before.

"Okay, here you go." Yan Nanfei didn't refuse. Hua Tuo was gradually getting better and could do some things, so he could do them. There was no need to be too precious.

Of course, this only applies to simple things.

As for things like plucking chicken feathers, Huatuo can't touch them yet.

"Then you two go ahead with your work. I'm going to Aunt Daya's house and will ask them to come over for dinner later."

Lin Feng glanced at Yan Nanfei: "Okay, Miss Yan."

Hua Tuo replied with a simple "Mm".

Yan Nanfei waved to them: "Then I'll go over there."

Yan Nanfei walked out onto the village road. The red ribbons and lanterns that had been hung on both sides of the road and on the trees when she and Feng Shan got married last time were still very festive.

Some of the red ribbons were taken off and played with by the village children, but Yan Nanfei didn't get angry.

That's normal; kids all like to play.

Moreover, it can also be considered a blessing for them, allowing them to absorb more of the child's essence so that Fengshan's body can recover as soon as possible and conceive the child he desires.

Of course, Yan Nanfei also wanted her and Feng Shan's child.

Lost in thought, Yan Nanfei walked to Zhang Daya's door, where Qingfu was chopping wood inside.

Yan Nanfei walked in, a smile on his face: "Qingfu, where's your mother?"

Yan Nanfei looked around but couldn't find Zhang Daya or hear her voice.

Normally, when Zhang Daya is at home, if someone comes to her house, even if she is inside, she can hear her loud voice asking who has come, and then she will come out to see.

When Qingfu saw Yan Nanfei, he quickly put down the wood-chopping knife in his hand: "Sister Nanfei, my mother went to the fields. What do you need her for? I'll go and call her back."

Qingfu made a move to run out, but Yan Nanfei quickly grabbed his arm: "No need, I just came to tell you that we're coming to Huatuo's house for dinner tonight."

Qingfu looked at Yan Nanfei with some doubt and asked sincerely, "Has Huatuo's injury healed? Shall we celebrate for him?"

But then Qingfu thought about it again and realized that wasn't right either.

This morning, he passed by Huatuo's house and saw Huatuo using a wooden stick to go to the outhouse.

He was faster than a snail.

"This is a secret." Yan Nanfei smiled slyly, but she revealed some inside information to Qingfu: "It's fine to have a celebratory meal, but it's not to celebrate Huatuo, but to celebrate Linfeng."

"When you come over, don't tell Linfeng, okay?" Yan Nanfei gave him a heads-up to prevent him from letting it slip: "I'll tell everyone what this celebration is about when it starts."

Qingfu seemed to understand but not quite, but she nodded solemnly: "Sister Nanfei, don't worry, I absolutely won't say a word, not a single word!"

"Okay, I'll head back now. You keep going." Yan Nanfei said, then turned and left.

"Sister Nanfei, wait a minute." This time, it was Qingfu's turn to call out to Yan Nanfei.

"What's wrong?" Yan Nanfei stopped and looked at Qingfu, who was running towards the kitchen.

"I'll get you something!" Qingfu's voice came from near and far. A moment later, he came out with two dark-colored things in his hands. You could vaguely tell that they were cured meat, the kind that was smoked.

Qingfu was slightly out of breath: "Hey, this is cured meat that my mother bought from a traveling merchant. She said it was brought from Chongqing and is especially delicious. It just needs to be boiled in hot water for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and then steamed, or you can use it to stir-fry vegetables."

Yan Nanfei's mouth watered as he looked at the smoked cured meat from Chongqing.

The smoked bacon in her space also comes from Chongqing... no, it's dried in Chongqing. She had bought it twice before, but the taste and quality were not good because it was all factory-made, not the kind dried for home consumption.

Yan Nanfei has also exchanged local specialties with netizens online and has also eaten authentic smoked bacon. The taste was simply amazing!

And now, in this fictional dynasty, she actually has homemade, purely sun-dried, smoked bacon without any additives! She was incredibly excited!

What's with this "just stir-fried vegetables" nonsense?

Smoked bacon, isn't it supposed to be stir-fried with chili peppers or garlic sprouts?

Use it to stir-fry green vegetables. The vegetables will release water when stir-fried, which will loosen the firm texture of the cured meat.

It's a pity that this dynasty didn't have chili peppers or garlic scapes..."

The variety of dishes is pitifully small.

Yan Nanfei sighed inwardly. "Let's just stir-fry it dry. Stir-frying at a high temperature will at least preserve the texture of the meat."

As for leafy greens, please avoid them altogether.

"How many pieces of cured meat did your mother buy?" Yan Nanfei asked Qingfu. If she only bought one piece, Yan Nanfei wouldn't want it.

Otherwise, they could have cut it into several pieces at once and eaten it for several meals. But they finished it in one meal, leaving Zhang Daya and Qingfu without even tasting it properly.

Qingfu smiled, looking particularly sunny and handsome: "Sister Nanfei, don't worry, my mother bought five big pieces, each weighing three jin."

"I was going to deliver it to your house later, but you came instead," Qingfu said. "But this piece of meat is for tonight's extra dish, and this piece is cured meat for you."

A warm feeling washed over Yan Nanfei. As always, Zhang Daya would always remember her family when she had something good.

"Hey, one piece is enough." Yan Nanfei told him to put one piece of cured meat back: "Hurry up, put it back."

How could Yan Nanfei possibly accept two yuan from him?

"It's alright, Sister Nanfei. If you don't take it now, my mother will personally deliver it to your house later. If you take it now, it will save her an extra trip."
