Chapter 53 The Loveliest Mother-in-Law in the World
Cheng Feng saw Su Nuan looking at him with strange eyes, so he teased: "What? Are you fascinated by your brother? But no matter how beautiful you are, I still care about my own wife."
Su Nuan blushed and said with a smile, "I was wondering if Brother Cheng could move his family here if we get to the Northland and things are going well."
Cheng Feng pondered for a moment and shook his head. "The north is bitterly cold. It's freezing cold in winter, and there's not much to eat. Even though I love meat, I don't want to eat it every day."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's not a problem. I can grow vegetables, and I guarantee the food will be better than in Kyoto."
"As for the cold, it might be too late to build a house when we first arrive there, but next year I can build a warm house. In winter, we only need to burn firewood, and the whole house will be warmer than the warm room in the palace."
Cheng Feng lowered his eyes, unable to see through his thoughts.
Su Nuan began to yearn for herself, "In winter, there's snow that I've never seen before. I heard it's white and soft. It must be fun to play snowball fights with the kids."
"Besides, they say the north is bitterly cold. People there would never think of coming to a place like this. This way, we can live a good life far away from the emperor."
This sentence touched Cheng Feng's heart. He had seen enough dirty things and was also afraid that one day the master he was loyal to would become the enemy who killed his entire family.
He sighed and said, "Girl, if it's as good as you say, I'd definitely be willing to move. But now it's just talk. Let's see when we get there."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
What a cunning guy, but this way I can rest assured. If I encounter danger along the way, Cheng Feng will definitely not be the first to run away. He will at least warn me before running away.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I'm going back to rest. I have to travel tomorrow. It looks like it's going to rain again in the afternoon."
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and all the necessary reminders have been given. Leave the rest to Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng nodded and said, "Have a good rest."
Su Nuan returned to the tent and found Xue sitting up and not asleep.
Her heart tightened. She wondered if her mother-in-law would think that she had done something shameless when she went out.
When Mrs. Xue saw Su Nuan coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're back, go to sleep."
Su Nuan, "..." She didn't ask anything, but instead felt a little speechless.
Half of it is the joy of being trusted, and the other half is the feeling of having prepared countless excuses but not being able to use any of them, which makes me feel a little frustrated.
However, Su Nuan didn't worry too much and lay down to sleep.
Unfortunately, it wasn't long before a noise was heard from the threshing floor, and even the sound of weapons clashing.
Xue suddenly sat up and asked in panic, "What's wrong? Are there bandits?"
Su Nuan raised her hand and pushed Xue down, "Mom, it's okay, let's go to sleep."
Xue pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then lay down and continued to sleep.
Su Nuan curled her red lips, this mother-in-law is the cutest mother-in-law in the world.
The next day, Su Nuan got up and stretched his muscles. He bit a branch and brushed his teeth while looking at the threshing ground.
The lineup over there wasn't the same as it was before the sun went down, but everyone seemed fine.
There were many people tied up at the edge of the threshing floor, probably all villagers.
Su Nuan cooked a pot of noodle dumplings, and everyone prepared to set off after eating.
However, Cheng Feng sent someone to inform them that they would set off in the afternoon, so they would have half a day free.
Su Nuan looked around and saw that the mountain behind the village seemed to have a lot of medicinal herbs. She informed Cheng Feng and took Xiaobai up the mountain.
When they reached the mountain, Su Nuan first found a secluded place to enter the space.
She saw the space spirit driving away the rabbits by the river.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Why are you driving them away?"
The space spirit said, "They're so fertile. They give birth to a whole litter just by drinking this water. Now all the grass in the space has been eaten up."
Su Nuan then looked around and found that the grass inside the protective shield had indeed been eaten up.
She wiped her sweat and said, "Fortunately there is a transparent cover blocking it, otherwise the mountains outside would be eaten away."
The space spirit sighed, "I haven't eaten cooked food since the previous owner died. I don't know if these rabbits taste better than the ones we had back then."
Speaking of food, Su Nuan began to roll up her sleeves, "White Wolf, take your children to catch rabbits. We'll make roasted and smoked rabbits today!"
The white wolf was originally tired of eating rabbits, but when he heard Su Nuan's order, he immediately let out a howl and took the children to catch rabbits.
Su Nuan didn't know how to skin rabbits, but she found that it was very easy to peel them after chopping off the claws and cutting off the heads, so she cleaned more than 30 rabbits in one go, and the remaining 20 or so rabbits were scared away.
The rabbit is half pickled and half braised, then smoked with pine needles.
After processing more than thirty of them, Su Nuan wiped his sweat and heard a crackling sound in his ears.
She turned her head and saw a big mouth with sharp teeth exposed on the flower disc of the space spirit, holding a roasted rabbit and eating it with a crunching sound.
The spread-out roasted rabbit was like a pancake, which it bit off piece by piece, making the bones crackle as it chewed.
The sweat that Su Nuan had just wiped away suddenly came out again. This was too brutal.
The white wolf and Xiaobai both pursed their ears and hid far away. They seemed to be frightened by the ferocity of the space spirit.
The space spirit ate six rabbits in one breath, three roasted rabbits and three smoked rabbits.
"Hic... It's so delicious. The meat is much more tender than in our time."
Su Nuan touched her nose and said, "Are you still eating?"
The space spirit thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it, you guys are also short of food, you guys eat, I won't starve to death even if I don't eat."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I'll just take a few out, and the rest are yours."
"Great!" The space spirit took another one and ate it with a crunch.
Su Nuan walked into the basement and saw the gems on the shelf. She muttered to herself in surprise, "Isn't this harmful to the human body? Why are they still here?"
The space spirit suddenly appeared beside her. "These have lost their energy. Now they are just beautiful stones. They are very hard and difficult to carve. I guess they won't sell for much."
Su Nuan touched his chin and said, "Let's put it aside for now. Maybe there will be a caravan from far away that can use it to exchange for things. Of course, we have to wait until we get there before we can decide."
The space spirit didn't care about these things. These stones were useless to him anyway.
Su Nuan found the harvested seedlings, planted sweet potatoes in a field, and cut potatoes into pieces where they had sprouts and planted them in a field.
When harvesting yams, they are collected together with the roots and vines, and the roots are planted horizontally in the soil.
The cabbages planted earlier have already blossomed and set fruit, but the stems have not rotted. If they are a little older, they can be fed to horses.
The space spirit watched Su Nuan working. After everything was planted and the cabbage seeds were harvested, it clapped its leaf hands and said, "Oh, how could I forget that?"
Su Nuan was startled by it, "What? Did I plant it wrong?"
All of this was planted according to the knowledge that came to my mind, so how could there be any mistakes?
