Chen Shuyi decided to make a pot of braised pork belly and boil some sour plum soup to relieve the autumn dryness.

While the rice was steaming, she first stir-fried the onion, ginger and garlic to bring out the aroma, then added the pork belly to color it, added a little sugar to increase the sweetness, stir-fried until golden brown and then added hot water to cover the pork belly.

The rice is ready, the pork belly has started to absorb the juice, and the whole kitchen is filled with the aroma of meat.

Open the lid of the pot, and you will see the golden and translucent pork belly bubbling in the pot, which makes you salivate.

After the sour plum soup was cooked, she kept it in a bamboo basket and hung it in the well to keep it chilled. It tasted pretty good when she brought it up the mountain.

She was worried that Chu Yi would be hungry in the afternoon, so she made a few scallion pancakes for him.

Shen Shuyi put the rice and vegetables separately in ceramic bowls, wrapped them in cloth and put them in a bamboo basket, then carried the basket up the mountain to deliver the meal to Chu Yi.

The journey was relatively easy, after all, they had cleared all the obstacles in order to build the canal.

It was dinner time, and there were many women like her who went up the mountain to deliver meals.

Shen Shuyi passed by carrying food, the aroma of meat wafted out, and the woman next to him suddenly felt her stomach growling.

Someone asked her, "What delicious food should I send to your Chu Yi?"

Chen Shuyi knew that most families sent sweet potato porridge, which did not contain much meat, and she did not want to stand out, so she just dealt with it.

But even though others could rarely eat meat and could not smell the meat, they all sighed that it was really good to have a hunter husband.

After she walked a few steps away, someone couldn't help but murmur.

"Look at Chen Shuyi's rosy complexion. She is living a good life after marrying a hunter. She also has meat to eat."

"Don't be envious. She has meat to eat now, and her house has been repaired. I heard that her two children have been sent to primary school. But when Chu Yi encounters a big insect in the mountains, she will have to be a widow at such a young age. Are you still envious?"

"Forget it. It's too dangerous to go to the mountains every day. I'd rather have my whole family eat wild vegetables."

When Chen Shuyi arrived at the place where the canal was dug, there were already many people sitting on the treetops eating food brought by their families.

Some sent steamed buns and pickles, some sent sweet potato porridge, and a few families sent proper meals.

Shen Shuyi saw Chu Yi from a distance, she walked over, "Husband!"

"I brought you food."

Chu Yi turned around suddenly when he heard her, and when he saw her, he walked over to her and took her under a big tree. "Why are you out in the sun? I brought some steamed buns, so you don't have to come over to deliver the food."

At this time, people who were resting nearby also looked over.

Chu Yi stood in front of her, blocking everyone's view, and pulled her to sit down under the shade of the tree.

"How can you be full with steamed buns? They are not tasty when they are cold." Shen Shuyi took out the lunch box, "I made braised pork today. It is very delicious. You can try it."

Chu Yi took the bowl and chopsticks and said distressedly: "Shuyi, don't come over tomorrow. I'll just bring some dry food. Your face is sunburned."

"How can that be possible? My husband, you don't eat well and you do such heavy work. What if your body collapses? I don't want to serve you at such a young age!"

Chu Yi was choked and had to eat first. He opened the lunch box which was filled with braised pork. The pork was shiny and red, and it smelled delicious when mixed with rice.

He swallowed, said no more and started eating.

The soft, glutinous and fragrant pork belly, coupled with the aromatic soup and rice, Chu Yi felt that he would be willing to do any heavier work.

If there weren't other people here, he really wanted to hug his wife and give her a big kiss.

My dear lady, he eats so well!

Suddenly, a slender white wrist appeared in front of him, followed by a fragrant handkerchief, and the sweat on his forehead was gently wiped away.

Chu Yi's heart suddenly softened.

Ever since he married Shuyi, this kind of warmth and tenderness has completely made his heart sink.

Chen Shuyi said to him coquettishly, "Why are you in such a hurry to eat? Slow down. I made you some sour plum soup. Drink some to relieve your greasiness."

[Congratulations host, the target Chu Yi’s favorability towards you has reached ninety-nine percent! ]

Chu Yi looked up at Shen Shuyi and saw that she was smiling at him with curved eyebrows, her cheeks slightly red, and her eyes moving, which made him want to kiss her even more.

His Adam's apple rolled and his ears turned red. "Okay, okay."

The man took a big gulp of sour plum soup and choked, "cough cough."

Shen Shuyi glared at him, “How old are you and you still choke when drinking water.”

Although she said so, she still stretched out her hand to rub Chu Yi's back.

All this made Chu Yi feel like he was in a dream. Only in dreams would fairies descend to the earth...

Chu Yi finished his meal, stood up and said to her, "I'll take you home."

Shen Shuyi refused, “Don’t, you’ll run back again in a while.”

"I'll just go back with the others. It's broad daylight and there are so many people on the road. What are you worried about?"

Chu Yi had no choice but to watch her turn and leave.

After the person who delivered the food left, the village chief asked everyone to hurry up and dig the canal.

Chu Yi kept silent, put on a serious face, picked up the hoe and started working.

When he raised the hoe, his arm muscles bulged and his blood rushed, and he looked extremely strong.

In the village, some unreliable men were jealous of him.

"Hey, Chu Yi, the meal your wife sent you is so delicious. I can smell the meat from a long distance away."

"You are so lucky to marry such a beautiful girl who can cook."

They couldn't understand how Chu Yi, who was not a man, could marry the girl from the Shen family. Although she had been married, she was so beautiful that even if she had been married, she couldn't be taken advantage of by a hunter like Chu Yi.

Chu Yi ignored what those people said and just buried his head in his work. He just wanted to finish the work and go back to hug his wife.

As Chen Shuyi walked towards home, she was thinking that the wild fruits on the mountain were ripe in autumn. When the canal was repaired, she and Chu Yi could go up the mountain to pick wild fruits. If they couldn't finish eating them, they would dry them in the sun. It would be nice to eat them while drinking tea around the stove in winter.

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard people talking behind her.

"I told you not to envy her. It doesn't matter if she has meat to eat every day. She might get bitten to death by a beast in the mountains one day!"

"What's more, he is a eunuch, what's the matter..."

"What is it?" Shen Shuyi walked up to the gossipy woman and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it in front of me. Don't gossip about it behind people's backs."

"How can my husband, Shen Shuyi, not allow others to talk too much? He has been able to survive in the mountains full of wild beasts for so many years. He is an extremely brave and careful man. I can't admire him enough, but you irrelevant people keep talking about him. What is your intention?"

The gossipy woman saw her cold eyes and was about to go forward and pull her hair, but the people next to her quickly pulled her back.

"No, don't go. Have you forgotten about Li and the others? Last time, you got into trouble because you gossiped about her family!"

"Yes, yes, this is mysterious. Let's go."

Chen Shuyi caught the man and scolded him before going home, where he stewed the black chicken.

A little Codonopsis pilosula is added to this stew, which makes the chicken soup more delicious with a hint of sweetness.

She thought that by the time the chicken soup was cooked until it was soft and boneless, Chu Yi would be able to go home.

Unexpectedly, the first to report the news was the system.

[Host, Chu Yi got into a fight with someone! ]
