Da Zhuang's wife was not the type to accept things passively. "If you were a capable person, you would not let your wife suffer any injustice. You still have the nerve to blame me."

Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel, Dazhuang's grandparents, who had been pretending to be invisible and letting them do whatever they wanted, spoke up to stop them.

"Stop arguing. What time is it now? We are running for our lives."

Da Zhuang's wife looked at her wife with dissatisfaction, "If you have the ability, you can also do what Li Er's wife in Guihua Village did and go to your mother's house to get money to buy a mule or a cow for your husband."

Da Zhuang's mother turned her head away and said nothing.

The commotion here did not attract everyone's attention. Everyone was busy with their own things and had no time to care about their family's trivial matters.

Everyone puts the things they don't want on both sides of the road so that if anyone needs them, they can take them.

"Let's go."

The team started to move forward.

With the weight reduced, the team walked much faster than before.

They kept walking all the way, and when they got too tired, Su Yin would climb onto the mule cart to rest for a while.

The three of them could take turns to rest and get through it.

For those families who don’t have cars, their children can’t walk anymore, so they have to be carried on the adults’ backs or on a cart.

The group walked from sunrise to sunset without stopping.

"I'm so tired. When can I take a rest?" Su Baozhu wiped the sweat from her forehead, picked up the water bag at her waist and took a sip to moisten her throat, but she didn't dare to drink more.

"Do you have any water?" Su Yin asked.

"have."

She handed the water bag directly to Su Yin.

Su Yin waved her hand, "If there's none left, I still have some here."

"Um."

The water supply is in short supply, so even if people are thirsty, they dare not drink freely.

Their family seems to have a lot of stored water, but the water for drinking, cooking, and livestock used by a family of three can consume a lot in a day.

Every sip of water must be calculated carefully.

Su Yin and the other two have it so hard. I'm afraid it's even harder for other families with larger populations.

"Yinyin, how long do we have to walk?"

"It's almost time to rest."

After starting from Fushun County, we did not stop along the way, in order to quickly leave Fushun County and make up for the extra half day of travel. If everyone was tired or thirsty during the journey, they would find ways to rest.

After walking for a whole day, everyone was exhausted.

Not long after Su Yin finished speaking, he found a relatively spacious official road and stopped to rest.

When everyone heard that they could take a break, they all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put the elderly and children down. Everyone in the family who was still able to move started to get busy.

"Mom, let's eat dry food tonight."

"OK."

"How about braised tiger meat?" Su Yin started to order food.

It's hot this time, so the meat should be eaten as soon as possible.

Su Baozhu rolled her eyes and said, "Yinyin, can you do it?"

Su's mother also came to see.

Su Yin looked at the two of them. Su's mother's craftsmanship couldn't be said to be very good, nor was it bad. It could only be said to be acceptable.

"Yinyin, how about you come?" Su Baozhu suggested.

"Alright! Let me make it clear first, I don't know if it tastes good or not. I've only seen the chef of the restaurant cook it from a distance."

"We believe you."

Su Yin began to cut the tiger meat into pieces, blanch it in water, and after it cooled down, she put oil in the pot. While the oil was still hot, she added a little star anise and cinnamon, and slowly stir-fried it over low heat. When the aroma came out, she put the cut tiger meat into the pot.

Su Yin saw the meat in the pot change color slightly, and took out rock sugar from the package. Rock sugar is precious, so she didn't dare to put too much, only a little bit, then sprinkled salt and poured in soy sauce for color.

Soy sauce, like rock sugar, is a precious thing. In the Yong Dynasty, soy sauce was a luxury condiment that only the rich could afford.

If she hadn't picked up the two hundred taels of silver, Su Yin would never have bought these things.

The aroma wafts out of the pot even before the dish is served.

Su Baozhu, who came back with firewood, put her head into the pot.

“It smells so good!”

"It smells good, but I can't guarantee whether it tastes good or not."

"It smells so good, it tastes good even if it doesn't taste good."

The people around them had started eating one after another, but the three of them were the only ones still eagerly waiting for the braised tiger meat.

"Not well yet?"

"No, it will be ready only after the soup becomes less."

"It looks delicious like this." Su Baozhu took a breath and wiped the saliva from the corner of her lips.

Su's mother also agreed, "This soup would be delicious if poured over rice. It would be such a waste if it were boiled dry."

Su Yin wanted to explain, but looking at the expressions of her aunt and mother, she nodded, "Okay, let's eat like this."

When she heard that the meal was about to start, Su Baozhu couldn't wait to share millet rice with the three of them.

The millet rice was cooked by Su's mother on the other side over a fire.

Su Baozhu squinted her eyes happily when she took the first bite of braised tiger meat. It took her a while to swallow the meat. She turned to look at Su Yin with sparkling eyes, "Yin Yin, with your cooking skills, you will never starve to death anywhere."

Su's mother took a bite and found it was indeed delicious. It turned out that meat cooked with dry wood could be cooked so deliciously. It was soft and tender in the mouth, and the sauce had absorbed the flavor. The taste was more flavorful and easier to chew than simply boiling it.

The three people, who had been starving for a long time, ate the braised tiger meat and millet rice with gusto.

Especially when the millet rice is topped with the sauce of braised pork, the rice is delicious even without the meat.

The fragrance here drifts out with the wind, but it comes from several houses next door.

Butcher Yang stretched his neck to look over here, "I wonder what kind of food Su girl is preparing now, why does it smell so good?"
