Chapter 173 Venison



Ever since it snowed, Tian An's biological clock has malfunctioned, and she is the last one to get up in the house every day.

Zhao Yiming always felt that Tian An's health had been very poor since she got sick from being caught in the rain last time, so he directly ordered the family not to wake her up. No one was allowed to make loud noises while she was still sleeping, for fear of disturbing her.

It snowed all night last night. When Tian An got up in the morning, Xiaokang had already been abused by Zhao Yiming.

After lunch, Tian An called Chen Qiang, handed him a blueprint, and asked him to buy some mutton in the evening.

Unfortunately, when Chen Qiang came back that night, he only brought back one pot. "Girl, it's cold now, and the mutton has been reserved by some wealthy families in the county. I went to several places but couldn't buy any."

Looking at the newly ordered hot pot in front of him, Tian An felt a little depressed. He had originally thought that he would have a hot mutton hot pot in the evening, but he didn't expect it to be ruined like this.

An hour after dinner, it was still a bowl of old hen soup. Tian An felt that she might vomit if she drank it for two more days.

"Brother Yiming, actually I have recovered from my illness a long time ago, so I don't need to drink chicken soup all the time. Besides, I am sick, not a woman in confinement, so why should I drink chicken soup!" Tian An protested.

Zhao Yiming frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If others hear and spread gossip, will your reputation be ruined?"

Tian An disagreed: "I just said something in my own home, how could it possibly get out? But if I drink this chicken soup for a while, maybe it will actually spread something."

Zhao Yiming was a little uncertain, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Seriously."

Seeing a hope of getting rid of the chicken soup, Tian An worked even harder: "Of course! There are eyes everywhere in this village. Let alone killing a chicken, even if you kill a mouse, I'm afraid someone will know.

What's more, you kill people every day. What normal person drinks chicken soup every day? They must have the wrong idea."

Zhao Yiming frowned in thought.

Seeing him like this, Tian An felt that he definitely wouldn't need to drink chicken soup tomorrow.

Zhao Yiming thought for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. He just pointed at the chicken soup on the table and said, "Drink today's first. I'll think of a way to have tomorrow's."

Tian An almost knelt down before him. Please stop trying to come up with ideas. She really doesn't want to drink chicken soup!

Zhao Yiming watched Tian An finish her chicken soup before he put the bowl away and left her room.

After that, he went to find Chen Qiang again, asked him some questions, and then went back to his room to rest.

When Tian An got up the next morning, Zhao Yiming was gone. He originally thought that he was busy reading in his room, but he didn't expect that he was not there at lunch time.

Tian An asked Xiaokang and found out that he hadn't seen Zhao Yiming since that morning. Later, he asked other people, and Chen Qiang said that Zhao Yiming had looked for him and said that he had something to do and might not be home for dinner today, so he told them to eat first and not to worry about him.

Tian An had no choice but to ask Chun Xi to save some food for him, and then invited the rest of the people to eat.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yiming came back.

I saw that his clothes were a little dirty, his sleeves and trouser legs were all tied tightly with cloth strips, he had a quiver on his back, a bow in his right hand, and his left hand was hidden behind his back as if he was pulling something.

Looking at his attire, it was obvious he had gone hunting in the mountains this morning. Perhaps not just this morning, but perhaps even in the middle of the night.

Zhao Yiming put down the prey in his hand as soon as he entered the door. Seeing his somewhat embarrassed appearance, Tian An was a little angry. It was still snowing in the mountains! Going into the mountains to hunt at this time, is he going to die?

Didn't his father die because he went into the mountains on a snowy day? He was forced to do so. But now that the family has enough food, is it necessary for him to risk his life and go into the mountains?

Seeing Tian An coming over, Zhao Yiming smiled brightly: "An An, didn't you want to eat mutton hotpot yesterday? There is no mutton, but venison should be good too."

Zhao Yiming realized later that something was wrong with Tian An's expression. He thought Tian An didn't like venison, so he said with some embarrassment, "How about you just make do with it for now? I'll go buy you some mutton myself some other day."

Tian An was stunned. It turned out that he was doing this for himself.

Tian An, who was originally filled with anger and wanted to yell at him for seeking his own death and how could he go into the mountains at such a time, felt mixed emotions after hearing what he said.

Tian An got excited and immediately opened his arms to hug Zhao Yiming.

The sudden hug made Zhao Yiming a little at a loss. He was stunned and his ears turned red to the roots.

Xiaokang, who had originally run out after hearing the noise, saw the scene before him and quickly covered his eyes with his own hands. However, if the ten fingers were not exposed, it would really look like that.

Aunt Qin followed out and glanced at the two people who were still hugging each other with a smile. Seeing Xiaokang's deceptive behavior, she directly and decisively pulled him back to the house.

Even Mr. Han was embarrassed for a moment, then turned around and went back to the house, pretending that he didn't see anything.

The other servants followed suit. Liu Da, who was closest to the gate, was so smart that he closed the gate directly.

Zhao Yiming reacted and wanted to reach out to pull Tian An away, but when he thought of the dirt and blood of the prey on his hands, he gave up.

He had no choice but to remind Tian An: "An An, let go quickly, everyone is watching us!"

Tian An reacted and blushed. Although she was open-minded as a modern person, she was embarrassed because it was her first time doing something like this.

I had to change the subject stiffly: "It's dangerous in the mountains, you're not allowed to go there anymore. You can cook any kind of meat in hot pot, I'm not picky."

"I know you are not picky about food. Deer meat is hot in nature and women tend to have cold bodies. Eating some will warm your body." Zhao Yiming said stubbornly and refused to agree not to go into the mountains in the future.

How could Tian An not know what he was thinking: "Don't go to the mountains, at worst, I'll just drink soup every night from now on."

After thinking for a while, he said, "You should also not always make old hen soup, quail, spare ribs or something else. Change it up and I won't be so tired of it."

Zhao Yiming was somewhat tempted, but still said, "Those are not as nutritious as venison."

Tian An was somewhat helpless: "It's because it's so nutritious that I can't eat too much! Eating too much of something nutritious can easily cause internal heat. You don't want me to have a nosebleed because of it, do you?"

Zhao Yiming felt that what Tian An said was a bit exaggerated, but he still understood the principle that everything will overflow when it is full.

"Then how often is the best time to eat it?" Zhao Yiming asked again.

Tian An: "...You don't have to go this winter anyway."

After a long while, Zhao Yiming asked Tian An again: "An An, what kind of soup do you want to drink tonight?"

Tian An almost choked to death from his saliva.

"After eating this venison, I won't need to drink soup for at least ten days." Tian An tried to delay the time as much as possible. If she wasn't afraid that Zhao Yiming wouldn't believe her, she wanted to say it would be a month.

Zhao Yiming nodded seriously, indicating that he remembered it.
