After spring had passed for a while, Chen Xiaomi wiped her bow and arrows, preparing to go hunting.
"Are you going into the mountains to hunt?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Yes!" Although she has made a lot of money recently, she still can't neglect her skills.
Chen Xiaomi no longer expects to earn much money from hunting, but it would be good if she could hunt some pheasants and rabbits to improve her meals.
After spring, the green vegetables and cabbages in the fields were ripe, and Lu Lin cooked green vegetables for several days in a row.
Chen Xiaomi, who was not a picky eater before, has now been spoiled by Lu Lin and has been eating vegetables for several days in a row. She feels that her mouth is getting bland.
Chen Xiaomi's tastes are gradually becoming more like Lu Lin's; she no longer likes fatty meat and only likes lean meat.
“I’ll go with you,” Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin and said, "Alright, but be careful! There are a lot of snakes around at this time of day."
Bored during the winter, Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin would chat about many things. Chen Xiaomi was very curious about the bizarre world Lu Lin described. At the same time, Chen Xiaomi also learned that Lu Lin was a rich young master from a wealthy family who owned a large shop and lived off the rent.
The shop has everything from rice and flour to cooking oil. You don't have to work very hard to be well-fed and clothed. The world Lu Lin lives in is a magical world.
Lu Lin smiled and said, "I understand."
Lu Lin rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: Xiaomi's attitude towards him seems to have improved a lot. Before, when he followed Xiaomi into the mountains, she would only tell him not to hold him back.
The fact that Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin went hunting in the mountains caused a lot of discussion among the villagers.
Many villagers suspected that Chen Xiaomi had made a lot of money selling wine, but seeing that Chen Xiaomi had gone back into the mountains, they felt that Chen Xiaomi hadn't actually made much money. If he really had a lot of money, he wouldn't need to do that risky business. Of course, some people also thought that Chen Xiaomi was just bored.
A rustling sound came from the grass in the distance. Chen Xiaomi raised the dagger in her hand and threw it into the distance, accurately plunging it into the rabbit's throat.
Lu Lin blinked as he watched this scene. His wife had rested all winter, but her arm strength hadn't diminished at all!
Chen Xiaomi walked up to the rabbit, picked it up, and said, "This dagger is really useful!"
"I'm glad you like it," Lu Lin said with a smile.
Chen Xiaomi picked up the rabbit by one leg and said, "This rabbit is quite plump, how about we make stir-fried rabbit meat?"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Okay!" When he first arrived at the Chen family, Chen Xiaomi ate whatever he cooked, but now she's learned to order. His wife seems to have a strong palate; she loves spicy food.
Xiaomi missed out on spicy snacks for a long time after the convenience store ran out.
Fortunately, although the spicy strips are gone, the convenience store still has chili powder, and chili peppers can be found in the mountains, so we can occasionally cook a spicy dish.
Chen Xiaomi was quite skilled at hunting; she almost never went into the mountains empty-handed, always managing to catch some pheasants or rabbits. This time, she raided two rabbit burrows and caught several rabbits. Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin used vines to string the rabbits together and herded them towards home.
"Brother Chen, you've caught a rabbit!"
Seeing Chen Xiaomi drag out a few rabbits, several villagers who saw them came up and chatted for a few words, their eyes filled with a hint of envy.
Chen Xiaomi wasn't very good at communicating with people, so she mumbled a few words and left.
"It's great to be able to hunt! We'll never lack meat at home."
"So many rabbits, enough for several meals, right?"
"Why is Chen Xiaomi hunting again? I heard the Chen family has been making a lot of money lately!"
"Yes! He's been building houses and buying mules, but we haven't seen him buy land, so he probably isn't making much money." In the villagers' view, land is still the most important thing, and if they were to make a lot of money, they should buy land.
"Even if he wants to buy land, someone has to sell it!"
"Chen Xiaomi doesn't know how to hunt, does she?"
"..."
As Chen Xiaomi walked down the street, she said, "Recently, more people have been trying to talk to me."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "That's a good thing!"
"But they're not afraid of me anymore," Chen Xiaomi said sullenly.
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Do you want people to be afraid of you?"
Chen Xiaomi blinked and said, "That's not entirely true." However, since those people were afraid of him, it would be easier to solve problems if they encountered any.
“There’s more to solving problems than just making people fear you,” Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, snorted, and said, "Scholars are so annoying, always so complicated."
Lu Lin: "..."
