Chapter 45 Discovering Cumin and Grilled Meat Skewers
The two walked for a month before deciding to go back.
They were not sure where they were exactly, they just kept walking in one direction.
However, Li Wanqing estimated that they had walked about two or three hundred miles.
They didn't always rush on the road. Sometimes when there were many good things in the forest, they would stay for a day or several days.
"Wife, it's almost done. Shall we go back tomorrow? It's summer now, and it's time to weed the fields.
This is the first year we've taken over the farm, so we have to go back and keep an eye on it.
Besides, we've already gained a lot. If we sell these things, we won't have to worry about running out of money for the next ten years." Gu Yan discussed this with Li Wanqing on the afternoon of the 30th day.
Li Wanqing also felt that it was almost done. They couldn't be too greedy and had to stop when it was almost done.
And you can't do it a second time in a short period of time. Whether it's animals or plants, they must be given time to recuperate.
"Okay, let's walk around the area in the afternoon and go back tomorrow." Li Wanqing said.
"Okay, you want to find something new, don't you? Let's go around this afternoon and if there's anything you're interested in, we'll buy some more.
"Okay, I want to see if there's any cumin left."
This mountain is truly a treasure trove. Li Wanqing has already found peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, chili peppers, and cumin in the mountain.
It is not the harvest season for pepper and star anise, so Li Wanqing transplanted a few trees into the space and took them out when she returned home and planted them next to the cave.
A small patch of peppers was found, with more than a dozen plants. Li Wanqing also transplanted them into the space. I believe the peppers will be harvested in a few days.
There is also cumin, which Li Wanqing did not expect. Discovering cumin was also a surprise. That day, she also found a piece of older asarum.
Li Wanqing wanted to dig it out and take it away. When she dug to the edge, she found two plants with a particularly pungent smell.
Li Wanqing took a closer look and found that the seeds of the plant looked very similar to fennel. After careful identification, Li Wanqing confirmed that it was cumin and not fennel.
Li Wanqing was very happy about the discovery of cumin. Thinking of cumin lamb, cumin lamb chops, and grilled skewers, Li Wanqing couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
The two of them started wandering in the woods in the afternoon, and surprisingly, Li Wanqing actually found them.
Not only cumin, but also chili, perilla, sage, mint, coriander, and cinnamon.
Li Wanqing not only picked all the ripe ones, but also transplanted a lot of them into the space, and even specially cleared out a piece of land for this purpose.
Of course, the crops were not pulled out, but the crops were ripe and Li Wanqing and Gu Yan harvested them.
In the evening, Li Wanqing couldn't help but grilled lamb skewers with cumin.
"Wife, what's that smell? It smells so good." Gu Yan was skewering meat nearby. He couldn't help drooling when he smelled the fragrance coming from Li Wanqing's direction.
"These are lamb skewers. They are cooked. Try them first." Li Wanqing held up a skewer of lamb and brought it to Gu Yan's mouth.
Gu Yan opened his mouth and started eating. The taste of the skewers in his mouth was so addictive that he couldn't stop.
"It's delicious, so delicious." Gu Yan said while eating.
"If it tastes good, eat more." Li Wanqing said as she took another string and handed it over.
"Wife, you eat first. I'll finish dressing and grill the rest." Gu Yan took over the job of grilling skewers from Li Wanqing.
Li Wanqing was eating the meat skewers she hadn't eaten for a long time, looking up at the dark night sky, leaning against a big tree, squinting her eyes comfortably.
Since traveling to this strange world, this is one of the few moments for her to relax.
"Wife, let me show you what I roasted." Gu Yan handed over another skewer of mutton.
Li Wanqing took it and ate it: "It's delicious. The cooking is good."
Gu Yan was happy to receive the praise and turned the skewers more carefully.
Li Wanqing ate a few skewers and stopped eating: "No need to give me more, I'm full, you can eat the rest yourself."
Gu Yan looked at Li Wanqing and made sure that she was really full before he started eating.
Li Wanqing skewered more than a hundred skewers of meat. She ate twenty of them herself, and the rest were eaten by Gu Yan.
The two of them didn't eat any staple food, they just ate all the meat skewers they could.
"Wife, this skewer of meat is so delicious. Is it made with the cumin seasoning you found today? I'll hunt a few wild sheep and we'll roast them when we get a chance." After eating and drinking his fill, Gu Yan leaned against a big tree like Li Wanqing.
"Sure, wait for me to plant a few more cumin trees, and you can eat it whenever you want." Li Wanqing agreed readily.
"Life like this is so nice. Thank you, my wife. Thank you for marrying me." Gu Yan said.
Gu Yan was serious about what he said. He originally thought that he was saving his wife from danger.
After all, a single woman would most likely not be able to survive in the deep mountains and forests.
But ever since he knew that his wife had a space, Gu Yan knew that his idea was totally wrong.
Even without him, his wife can live a good life.
On the other hand, he was different. If he had not married Li Wanqing, he would not have been able to afford to buy land, let alone a shop.
If it weren't for his wife, he would still go hunting every day. Not only is it dangerous, but the few cents he earns is barely enough to make ends meet.
"Since you know I'm a good person, you should be nicer to me." Li Wanqing said coquettishly.
"Have I not been good to you? Tell me, how else can I be good to you?" As he said that, he hugged Li Wanqing in his arms and kissed her.
The two of them haven't been intimate since they came out. The two young men and women, after eating and drinking their fill, are preparing to go home tomorrow. Naturally, when they relax, they start thinking about all sorts of things.
"Wife, come into the space." Gu Yan said while taking a break from his busy schedule.
Li Wanqing was so confused by the kiss that she forgot she was outside.
After hearing Gu Yan's reminder, he quickly took his people into the space.
The two of them naturally spent a passionate night without being disturbed by anyone.
The two of them stayed up too late the night before, which resulted in them both getting up late the next day.
I might as well start walking back today, no need to rush.
"Wife, here is a nest of pheasant eggs, quickly put them into the space."
"Wife, there is water here. I saw some wild ducks. I'm going to catch a few and see if there are any wild duck eggs.
I'll catch a few fish if I can."
"Wife, here is a beehive, let's get some honey."
"Wife, there is also a big beehive here. It is even bigger than the one just now. There must be more honey."
"Wife, here..."
On the way back, Gu Yan found a lot of good things every day.
Some of them had seen it when they came, but they couldn't carry it with them, so they gave up.
Now that there is space, of course I have to take everything back.
