Xin Er saw her here and ran over to chat with her.

"Sister, the dates you picked are so sweet." Tong Wenyao held out the dates she had picked from the forest at noon and handed them to her. Tong Wenyao opened her mouth and let her put them in her mouth, then began to chew. "Hmm, the dates Xin'er gave me are so sweet!"

"Sister, next time you go to the forest, ask me to accompany you. I'm grown up now and can help you." Tong Wenyao saw that she was so sensible, and her heart ached. Xin'er was only four years old! She had been exiled these days, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, and was sensible and considerate.

"Okay, then I'll let Xin'er go with me next time. Don't be lazy then!" Xin'er put her hands on her hips and snorted, "I won't be lazy!"

When she saw that the cutting was almost done, she asked Xin'er to hand her a basket so that she could wash the fruits and put them in the basket.

With a splash of water, a long yellow eel jumped into the basket, scaring her. When she saw its head sticking out of the water, she realized it was the eel that caused the problem. Fortunately, after she reacted, she pressed it with both hands, but the yellow eel was slippery. After she caught it several times, it still slipped out from between her fingers. Once it touched the water, it slid away very quickly.

She sighed, thinking that she had tried her best to eat meat, but the meat was delivered to her door and she couldn't catch it.

"Guaiguai, there's meat tonight, so you don't have to catch any more!" As soon as she finished speaking, Guaiguai disappeared. She had been keeping him captive all day, so she decided to let him have some fun. She didn't call him back.

After washing the pig grass in the basket, she hurried ashore. The separation between men and women was not so strict here, so she could still go into the river barefoot.

At night, Tong Wen Yao cut the rabbit into pieces and put it in the pot to blanch. After it was half dry, she added water to cook it. There was no iron pot here, so she could only use a clay pot to cook it. She was tired of eating boiled vegetables and wanted to eat braised rabbit. She was drooling just thinking about it.

But even so, the dishes they cook are still delicious enough to satisfy a large number of people.

Aunt Mo came over here because she smelled the fragrance, and she came over with a handful of dried wild vegetables in her hand.

She watched the Tong family stare at her in silence, and her heart couldn't help but feel uneasy. But when she thought of Tong Wenyao saving her, she was moved. "Here, Sister Qian, thanks to Wenyao for saving me at noon, otherwise I'm afraid I would be in the underworld by now."

Mother Qian glanced at Tong Wenyao, and when she nodded, she took the dried vegetables. Aunt Mo and the other woman glanced back and forth, and then they realized that Tong Wenyao was the boss of the Tong family. But think about it, Mother Qian used to listen to General Tong, but after General Tong died, she relied on her son. But back then in the capital, they heard that his son was still a playboy.

Aunt Mo's brain sometimes works very well, and she finished the analysis in a short while. Before leaving, she told Qian's mother that she would keep in touch with her in the future. Qian's mother smiled and agreed, but when she turned around, the smile disappeared.

Tong Wen Yao was originally worried that her mother wouldn't be able to handle it, but now it seems that she is the one who is worried. After all, in the capital, one has to deal with the wives and daughters of officials.

But her mother was a little weak-willed, and she could understand her mother. She used to rely on her husband, and now she relied on her brother. Fortunately, her brother had stood up since their house was confiscated and they were exiled, otherwise she would have been really troubled.

In the post station, a woman wearing a butterfly-shaped gold and jade hairpin on her head frowned, and she was dressed in gorgeous clothes. She couldn't swallow the food in front of her.

The woman next to him advised,

"Madam, please eat a few bites for the sake of your baby!"

"Luhui, I can't eat this after smelling it." Suddenly, a fragrance filled the air. The woman sniffed carefully and found that the smell seemed to come from outside. She couldn't help but murmur, "What a nice smell!"

Even Lu Hui smelled it, "Madam, I'll have someone buy this food quickly."

"Thank you. If the family doesn't want to sell, don't threaten them." Lu Hui quickly replied, "Yes."

Just as dinner was ready, a servant came running over to ask. Tong Wenyao and her mother exchanged a glance, then began to say, "Brother, it's an honor for us to be favored by the noble, but this is dinner for our whole family. Do you think you can exchange it for some food?" The servant smiled and replied, "Of course, of course. I'll carry this earthenware jar to you, and I'll bring you some food later."

Meng Yun sat in the lobby and waited for a while. The fragrance was getting closer and closer. She swallowed her saliva. It smelled so good. She didn't feel hungry at first, but when she smelled it, she felt like she had been hungry for days and nights.

The servant brought the earthenware jar to the lady and said respectfully, "Madam, that family doesn't want silver, they only want food." Meng Yun was visibly surprised when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure. "Then let's send the food over." At the end, she paused and said, "I heard the post station has beef today, let's send some over as well." Lu Hui was a little puzzled, "Madam, why do you want to send beef as well?"

Meng Yun looked towards the Tong family. "Many of those exiled people were exiled from the capital. Their knowledge and foresight might help my husband someday. Why shouldn't I be nicer to them?" Lu Hui exclaimed in admiration, "Madam, you truly have a long-term vision!"

After the servant delivered the food, Tong Wenyao's eyes lit up when she saw a small piece of beef inside.

Quickly, "Thank you, brother!"

She took it and hid at the edge of the woods, took out some of the rice from the space, a large piece of beef, and the iron pot. Then she pretended to urinate and came out.

She really didn't want to eat the black steamed buns anymore; they scratched her throat too much. If she ate any more, her throat would get inflamed. Taking advantage of the fact that the nobles had given her food, she hurriedly stuffed some white rice and flour from her space into the buns, adding to the corn they had given her. It was probably enough for several days' worth of food.

She really had to thank that noble person. Otherwise, even if she had mountains of gold and silver, she would have no reason to take it out. Returning to the fire, she only took out a part of it and put the rest into Cui's mother's package.

"Aunt, these are given by a noble person, please keep them safe." She opened the package and was a little surprised to see that there was white rice and white flour inside.

"Isn't the gift from you a bit too much?" "Second Aunt, you liked the food I just made, so I gave you some extra."

After hearing this, Cui's mother nodded. The food Yao'er cooked since she woke up was more delicious than what she had eaten in the capital, so the noble lady naturally liked it too.

"I've just taken out some to cook. You should keep them well and have a good meal tonight!" She had just put a lot of rice into the clay pot to cook, and she took a few stones and built a simple stove next to it.

She took out her iron pot and planned to stir-fry the beef. God knows she was tired of eating boiled vegetables these days. There was very little salt and oil, so she took the opportunity to take it out from the space. After all, she had a noble person to shield her.
