Chapter 46 Finally home, ready to go to the capital
Half a month later
"Oh, I'm finally home. I'm so tired." Seeing that she had finally arrived at the door of her home, Li Wanqing sat down on a big rock with a plop.
Gu Yan looked at the sky. It was now the morning hour of Yin, and the sun was not too strong. There was also some shade from the trees, so it would be nice to let his wife rest here for a while.
They would be away for more than a month, so the house had to be cleaned up before people could move in, and the kang had to be heated in advance.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan said, "Wife, sit here and rest for a while. I'll go and light up the kang and clean up the house."
"No need, you can sit down and rest for a while, and we will clean up together later." Li Wanqing said.
He was tired, and Gu Yan was not relaxed either. Along the way, he not only had to protect himself, but also had to climb up and down to find things.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. You take a rest first, I'll light the stove." Gu Yan didn't listen to Li Wanqing, but took the firewood into the house.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Li Wanqing stood up and went into the house to clean up.
First, change the sheets and quilt covers, and take out the bedding to dry. I haven’t been home for more than a month, and the bedding is damp.
Gu Yan had already wiped the surface of the cabinet clean, so Li Wanqing didn't care.
"Wife, take a shower first. I've boiled some hot water." Gu Yan said after cleaning up the kitchen.
"Okay, I'll go right away." After traveling for more than ten days, Li Wanqing felt that she smelled.
After Li Wanqing finished washing, it was Gu Yan's turn to wash. While Gu Yan was taking a shower, Li Wanqing rolled noodles.
I made a big pot of hand-rolled noodles and put two pheasant eggs on top for each person.
"Husband, come over and have some noodles." Li Wanqing hurriedly greeted Gu Yan when he came out of the shower.
"Hey, I'm here." Gu Yan came over and sat down opposite Li Wanqing, with a big bowl of noodles in front of him.
"It's delicious. My wife, you are such a great cook." Gu Yan picked up the bowl and started eating.
"Eat slowly, there's more in the pot, plenty." Li Wanqing looked at Gu Yan's eating habits and asked him to eat slowly.
"Oh, the food my wife cooked was so delicious that I couldn't resist." Gu Yanhan said with a smile.
Li Wanqing gave him a coquettish look: "You are the only one who can talk."
"Hehehe." Gu Yanhan finished one bowl and filled another with a smile.
After dinner, Gu Yan washed the pots and dishes, and Li Wanqing brought in the fluffy bedding that had been dried in the sun and put on new sheets and quilt covers.
"Husband, don't worry about the vegetable garden outside for now. We can still clean it up tomorrow. Come in and have a rest." Li Wanqing saw Gu Yan couldn't help but clean up the vegetable garden again, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Okay, I'll be right there." They hadn't been home for more than a month, and the vegetables in the garden had long since died of drought. Gu Yan wanted to clear out all the seedlings that had died of drought.
He wanted to replant the vegetables as soon as possible, but his wife felt sorry for him and asked him to rest first, so he just listened to his wife.
Perhaps because they were finally back home and relaxed, the two of them slept until the next morning.
It was rare for both of them to wake up but not get up. To be honest, after running around in the deep mountains and forests for more than a month, both of them were very tired.
I was so busy these days that it wasn't noticeable, but as soon as I had some free time, I immediately felt sore in my waist and back, and discomfort all over my body.
Anyway, there is no rush for the next thing, just take your time to prepare the medicinal materials.
The two of them lay down until eight o'clock and then got up and had a quick meal.
Gu Yan started planting vegetables again and then went to chop firewood.
Li Wanqing slowly prepared the medicinal materials.
After chopping firewood, Gu Yan came back and helped her prepare the medicinal herbs.
Li Wanqing instructed him to steam what needed to be steamed and dry what needed to be dried. It took him four or five days to finish the preparation.
"Wife, the herbs have been prepared. Shall we go to the clinic to sell them someday?" Gu Yan put the last bit of herbs into a cloth bag.
Li Wanqing also thought it would be better to sell the herbs first, because the efficacy of the herbs would be lost if they were not stored properly. Although she had the space and was not afraid, it still took up space, didn't it?
"Then let's go tomorrow and sell medicinal herbs tomorrow, and sell some prey as well. So much prey must be exchanged for silver as soon as possible." Li Wanqing said.
Gu Yan thought about the prey in Li Wanqing's space. It would be better to sell them as soon as possible. His wife had complained about it several times.
He said that he found the bloodshot eyes unsightly in the space.
“It’s possible to sell it, but there are too many prey in the space, and we may not be able to sell it at a high price in Fuyuan County.
"Wife, I want to go to the capital. Our Fuyuan County is still a bit small and I'm afraid it can't eat these precious prey." Gu Yan said after thinking for a while.
Li Wanqing also knew that there were either tigers or bears in the space, so it would be inappropriate to take action in Fuyuan County.
And she also wanted to go to the provincial capital. She had traveled through time and space, and she couldn't stay in the mountains all her life without going out to see the world.
"Okay, but don't take all of them to the capital. Sell some of the wild buffaloes and sheep in Fuyuan County, and keep a few for ourselves. How about keeping two deer as well?" Li Wanqing said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but we can each keep one for ourselves. I'll catch more when you want to eat them later.
As for the tiger, I want to keep a pair of tiger bones to make medicinal wine. By the way, can you be a bear paw wife? Should we keep it?" Gu Yan said.
Seeing that he had an idea, Li Wanqing stopped talking and turned to talking about medicinal herbs: "Husband, I'm thinking that we won't sell ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum this time.
Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are precious and indeed valuable, but our common medicinal herbs are very old and cannot be sold at a low price.
Plus, there are so many prey. We are just ordinary hunters. It is not a good thing to be targeted by others if we have too much money."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. We have enough money at home, so we'll keep the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum." Gu Yan had no objection to what Li Wanqing said.
The ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are in my wife's space. Whenever I am short of money, I can take them out and exchange them for money.
"Husband, is the provincial capital far from us? How do we get to the provincial capital? Do we need to hire a carriage?" Li Wanqing was quite curious about the provincial capital.
"The city is over 200 miles away from here. It would take a whole day to get there by carriage. We would have to leave at four in the morning and arrive around eight in the evening.
This is what I think. Let’s go to the county town tomorrow to sell the medicinal herbs to Manager Liu.
As for the tiger, I would like to ask Shopkeeper Liu. If the price is right, I will sell one to him.
We'll keep one tiger bone for ourselves and sell the remaining one when we get to the provincial capital.
"As for the bears, let's ask Shopkeeper Liu. Bear bile is also a good thing. Besides, we have a lot of bears, and if we sell them all to the capital, we're afraid they'll attract the attention of those with ulterior motives." Gu Yan pondered carefully.
Li Wanqing thought so too. In her space, there were three tigers, five bears, twelve sika deer, twenty-one bison, and thirty-six wild sheep.
There are also four pure white foxes, three red foxes, and seven mixed-hair foxes.
It is certainly impossible to sell so many prey in one place.
