Year of Famine: Hunting in the Mountains with My Little Wife, a Granary Full of Meat

Liu Feng, a Mercenary, transmigrated into a Turbulent Times filled with wars on all sides.

The world was in chaos, wars raged endlessly, the Imperial Court was weak, and powerful local rulers we...

Chapter 13 Visiting the Father-in-law

"Dad, my husband has been working hard these past few days, hunting in the mountains to earn money. Winter is almost here, so please give me some money to buy some winter clothes for you and me."

"All this food was brought here specially by my husband when he left. He said that money alone is not enough. We must have good food to survive the winter."

Liu Feng looked at the two sisters with a smile. The two sisters were eloquent and always protected the image of their husband, him.

Liu Feng was praised to the skies.

Isn't this a breakup?

That’s great, that’s great…

"No? Honor us?"

The father-in-law looked at Liu Feng in disbelief, then carefully examined his own daughters. The two sisters looked well and were dressed brand new.

Finally I felt relieved.

But Mu Linfeng still didn't dare to accept it, mainly because he couldn't bring himself to do so. After all, he had been practicing medicine and saving people all his life. If he asked his son-in-law to help him, wouldn't he be laughed at if it got out?

"How can this be possible? Although you don't have children, you are a family of three. Sooner or later, you will need money and food."

"father"

Mu Wanqing pretended to be angry and snorted coldly.

Mu Wanqing pointed at the second brother and said, "Look at the second brother. He needs to eat well right now. How could you do this? Everyone knows your little tricks."

"Besides, my husband is so capable that we have enough rice stored at home to last us a year."

"And my husband also bought an ox cart and some chicks.

"Yes, Dad, my husband is buying wood to repair the house."

"What? Enough for a year?"

“And the bullock cart and the chicken?”

The father-in-law couldn't believe it. Is this still the uneducated son-in-law?

The father-in-law ran outside to take a look in disbelief.

My hands couldn't stop shaking.

This is a cow. In the Dali Dynasty, horses were military supplies and were generally not allowed to be used by civilians. Only escort agencies and special places could have a few horses.

Cows are the most important items for ordinary people. If a family has a cow, it means they are wealthy.

An ox cart. If word gets out that I have this, people will envy me so much.

My son-in-law has become so successful.

"Okay, okay..."

The father-in-law turned around and looked at Liu Feng, saying several good words in a row. I don’t know if it was because of excitement, but there were tears in his eyes.

"Good son-in-law, good officer, I was wrong, I am short-sighted."

Mu Linfeng walked to Liu Feng and took Liu Feng's hand.

"Old woman, go and prepare some side dishes. My son-in-law is so promising. I must have a few drinks with him."

"Father-in-law, I was lucky enough to hunt a stag. I made some deer blood wine and added some Chinese herbs like Polygonatum sibiricum. Would you like to try it, Father-in-law?"

"But this wine... is... strong."

"Father-in-law, please drink less."

"My dear son-in-law, are you questioning my drinking capacity?"

"I dare not, I dare not, how could I dare to do that?"

Mu Wanqing walked in holding a jar of wine and carrying some side dishes.

Liu Feng has been pushed to the main position by his father-in-law.

Mu Wanqing filled their glasses, and without waiting for Liu Feng to explain, Mu Linfeng picked up the porcelain bowl and drank it all.

Mu Linfeng felt as if his throat was burning with fire. A strong sense of stimulation rushed straight to his Baihui acupoint, followed by a cough.

"How is it possible... ahem... I've never seen such a strong drink before."

"Old woman, hurry up, get some water... water..."

Liu Feng smiled helplessly, he had already reminded them.

It is ancient times now, and the wines nowadays are all made through simple distillation process, or even without distillation process. Most of them are rice wine with a few degrees of alcohol.

Liu Feng used new-age technology for distillation. Although the equipment was crude, after several distillations, the alcohol content was definitely above 40.

This was unthinkable in ancient times.

If he could finish it in one gulp, he would be damned.

"What a strong wine, my dear son-in-law! Where did you get such a strong wine?"

After drinking some water, the father-in-law Mu Linfeng felt a little better and asked hurriedly.

"Father-in-law, this is brewed by me."

"This wine is quite strong, and most people would get drunk after just a few drinks. However, it has many uses and is the best material for disinfection and sterilization."

"My dear son-in-law, does this wine have such a function?"

"Can it dispel evil spirits and purify the skin?"

"Yes, father-in-law."

Listening to Liu Feng's answer, Mu Linfeng fell into deep thought, feeling more and more surprised.

"To brew this kind of medicinal wine, you must understand pharmacology."

"Do you understand pharmacology?"

Mu Linfeng looked at Liu Feng in surprise.

"Father-in-law, compared to you, I am just a child playing house. I only know the basics."

Liu Feng answered very modestly.

Who would have thought that the father-in-law, who was already getting drunk at this time, would burst into laughter.

“Hahaha…hahaha…okay…”

"Great! I was just worried that no one would inherit my legacy. Now, my medical skills will finally be passed down to the next generation."

“God’s will, God’s will…”

I've eaten and drunk enough.

The family started chatting, and the mother asked about the two sisters' stomachs.

Seeing that the two sisters' bellies had not shown any improvement, he looked worried.

"Mom, we know, why are you so anxious..."

Mu Wanqing said shyly.

Afterwards, Liu Feng asked about the war again. The second brother must know more since he had just come back from the battlefield.

"The battlefield is now littered with corpses."

"The Northern Barbarian army has reached the border of Youzhou, and many spies and agents are already lurking in Youzhou."

"Brother-in-law, you are capable, but I am already disabled. If the war cannot be controlled this winter, I am afraid I will have to flee south for refuge next year."
