Song Chaoyang is Lei Erniang's husband. Jiang Tangtang now considers Lei Erniang a friend, so she doesn't mind taking her man hunting with her.
As for Shi Dali, Jiang Tangtang also had a good impression of him, so she let the two of them join the team.
Su was worried about Jiang Tangtang going hunting alone, so she asked Lu Shichang, Luo Taohua, and Zhou Qiongniang to bring tools and go with her.
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng had left someone behind, Li Shi also took two followers and planned to go hunting with them.
So, Jiang Tangtang led a group of people toward the place marked with wild boars on the map.
The location of this canyon is unique. Perhaps due to the short hours of sunshine and the seepage of groundwater, the vegetation in the mountains has not withered and died on a large scale like in other places.
There are also more wild vegetables here than elsewhere, and they are more tender.
With the help of the search system, Jiang Tangtang can always easily find all kinds of wild vegetables.
So Zhou Qiongniang and Luo Taohua were absolutely ecstatic the whole way. Even Luo Taohua, who was usually so lazy, didn't slack off today and quickly picked purslane and put it into the basket.
"Second Sister-in-law, there's a lily here. Can you dig it up? I can't pull it up." Jiang Tangtang plucked the wild lily flower and smelled it. It had a faint fragrance.
In the past, she would have thought about how to arrange the flowers to look beautiful. But now, her first thought was that the book said lilies are edible, and she wanted to pick a few more lilies to try.
Jiang Tangtang sighed, realizing that she had indeed fallen into local customs and become decadent, as she turned to the page on lilies in the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Lily flowers can clear heat and reduce internal fire; they can be used to cook porridge or to make steamed buns. Lilies also nourish yin, clear heat, and replenish essence and blood.
Both the flowers and the roots are valuable.
"Third sister-in-law, what is a wild lily? Can you eat it?" Luo Taohua came closer and asked, looking at the white bulb that Zhou Qiongniang had dug up.
Jiang Tangtang said, "Medicinal herbs, nourishing, can be eaten and can also be sold for money."
Hearing that it could be eaten and sold for money, Luo Taohua was immediately filled with energy. She snatched the hoe from Zhou Qiongniang's hand and shoved the sickle in her hand into her hands, saying, "Second sister-in-law, you're tired from digging, let me take over for you."
After saying that, he rushed towards a few wild lilies in the distance.
Zhou Qiongniang didn't argue with her and continued cutting wild vegetables with her sickle.
Jiang Tangtang wasn't idle either; she used the search system to search for food. This way, anything edible would be marked on the map.
She discovered that the mountain was marked with a type of leaf, a dense, large patch. The quantity was quite considerable.
Curious, she consulted her herbal classics and discovered that the plant was called "Fubi". Its leaves can be used to make Guanyin Tofu.
The book says that Guanyin tofu with honey is very delicious and a rare and nutritious delicacy.
Jiang Tangtang glanced at the instructions in the book and felt that it wasn't too difficult, so she took out a cloth bag and began picking leaves.
Seeing this, Zhou Qiongniang joined in the gathering. And so, they dug for wild vegetables as they walked toward the place marked with wild boars on the map.
Soon, they arrived at the wild boar's den.
Upon seeing a nest of four or five wild boars, the people who had gone there became excited and took out their weapons to begin hunting the wild boars.
Knowing that she had zero fighting skills and was no match for the wild boar, Jiang Tangtang quickly pulled Luo Taohua and Zhou Qiongniang up to hide in a tree.
Watching the wild boars running around and nearly knocking people over several times, Luo Taohua was both scared and nervous.
This was the first time Zhou Qiongniang had ever seen such a fierce scene.
Those wild boars were really hard to deal with, especially so many of them at once. She was so nervous that her toes were clenched tightly, fearing that the wild boars might not be careful and might gore her husband.
Her second uncle from her maternal family went to chase away wild boars, but one of them smashed his genitals and killed him. He didn't survive the ordeal.
Fortunately, although the group struggled greatly, no bloodshed occurred in the end. However, two of the five wild boars escaped, and only three were captured.
Although two ran away, catching these three was enough to make us happy. The biggest one weighed at least 200 pounds. The two smaller ones weighed at least 100 pounds each.
Even during the Lunar New Year, no family has this much pork.
At this moment, everyone felt that it was all worth it to work themselves to death.
A group of people carried the wild boar back with great enthusiasm. Luo Taohua's face was beaming with joy. Seeing that Jiang Tangtang was walking slowly and occasionally showing a pained expression, she stopped and said, "Third sister-in-law, are your feet uncomfortable? Should I carry you?"
Although she didn't know anything about system scanning, thanks to Su's self-delusion, Luo Taohua was already absolutely certain that Jiang Tangtang was a disciple of a deity and a lucky star for their family.
Finding so many wild boars was all thanks to Jiang Tangtang. Now, in her heart, Jiang Tangtang is like a fairy.
She was now even more certain that as long as she treated Jiang Tangtang well, she could also benefit from good fortune.
Jiang Tangtang quickly shook her head, "No need, sister-in-law, I can walk."
"Then I'll help you." Luo Taohua grabbed Jiang Tangtang's arm and insisted on supporting her no matter how Jiang Tangtang refused.
Jiang Tangtang couldn't refuse, so she could only let her help her.
As usual, their return to their resting place caused a sensation once again. And this time, the sensation was even greater than before.
In the past, when Lu Shiyan brought back prey, it was mostly pheasants and sparrows, but none of them were as visually appealing as this fat wild boar.
The villagers who hadn't gone hunting in the mountains with Jiang Tangtang were filled with regret. They wished they had gone with her.
At this point, we should at least get a piece of meat.
But since they hadn't contributed any effort, they couldn't very well ask someone for a share of the meat without offering anything in return, so they could only feel frustrated in their hearts.
The Song and Shi families were delighted, as both families had contributed their labor and were certain they would be able to share the meat.
Lei Erniang called on her sisters-in-law from the Song family to go to the mountains to cut dry grass, planning to use the dry grass to burn the wild boar's hair later, thus dealing with the wild boar in this way.
When the villagers saw this, they all helped cut grass, hoping that by doing their part they might get a share of the wild boar meat later.
Upon seeing this, Wang Qiuju also shamelessly took a sickle to cut grass. But when she was about to deliver it, Su stopped her.
Madam Su spat at her, "You bullied my daughter-in-law and spread rumors about her everywhere. You've made an enemy of the Lu family. We shouldn't associate with you anymore. We don't want your hay either. Take it back now."
Wang Qiuju was furious, spitting as she said, "This wild boar wasn't hunted by your Lu family alone. You can't just say you don't want it. How can you be so domineering!"
"Then ask them if they want your hay."
No sooner had Su finished speaking than Liu Chengfeng walked over. He glared fiercely at Wang Juhua and said, "Although we are not surnamed Lu, we all follow the arrangements of our sister-in-law. You woman, you dare to talk about our sister-in-law for no reason. We brothers are already being kind by not chopping your head off to vent her anger. You still dare to come here and cause trouble. Do you want to live too long?"
When Wang Qiuju met Liu Chengfeng's fierce face, she was so frightened that she almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
She dared to argue with the Su family, but she didn't dare to confront ruthless men like Liu Chengfeng, so she had no choice but to shrink back and return to the Fang family.
She walked away, cursing under her breath.
Jiang, that vixen, is so lucky. Not only does the man at home spoil her all day long, but now even the wild man outside protects her and obeys her every word.
