People living in the Dayue River Basin know that it will rain after a few sunny days in spring.

Therefore, as soon as the weather is good, the whole family will go out, bringing all kinds of tools to harvest the spring wheat planted here.

Chen Xuanxuan knew in her heart that the original owner had to do farm work every day at home. But she had never done this before she traveled through time. Especially bending over to cut wheat, she tried to do it for a whole day. Early the next morning, she actually had a high fever, her whole body was hot, and she had allergies.

Gu Yanzhang originally thought that he might as well sell some of the wheat and invite a ready-made doctor to see his wife, but the next night, after Chen Xuanxuan took a quick bath and washed her hair, she felt better all of a sudden.

Seeing that Chen Xuanxuan was well, Gu Yanzhang did not let her go to the fields. There were only two acres of land in the family, and they finished it in a few days.

There was no need to let her suffer this.

If anything happened to her, their whole family would not be able to live.

Seeing that Gu Yanzhang and his men were about to gather at the village entrance to prepare to serve the court's labor together on the morning of that day, Chen Xuanxuan wrapped a bunch of preserved vegetable braised pork cakes that she had made the night before tightly around them with a two-inch-long wide cloth.

"This is the preserved vegetable braised pork pancake I made for you. If conditions permit, when you finish drinking the hot water, you can put the pancake in hot water and eat it. Or put it in hot ashes to scald it."

"And this is the hot pot I made especially for you!"

"This will make you full easily. You can stay there for ten days first. Don't save it. When you have almost finished eating all these things, my eldest brother and I will come to find you in person!"

Looking at the bag of hot pot in his hand, Gu Yanzhang's eyes were red.

Recently, his wife has been studying how to keep the food fresh and not moldy in rainy weather.

It is also his wife's ability that she has developed a spicy hot pot that the whole family has never seen before!

This spicy hotpot is made of pure rice.

After the rice is cooked, the layer of rice on the bottom of the pot will be burnt. This layer of crispy, golden hotpot is extremely delicious.

Use a small amount of chili powder, white salt, and some other seasonings, and apply them on the golden hotpot several times, and then put them in the pot and fry them in warm oil for a while.

After each hotpot is fried to be crispier and more fragrant, Chen Xuanxuan will also spread a thick layer of chili powder on it. The preparation of this chili powder is not simple.

Because it is mixed with cumin powder, sesame, ginger powder, and some salt.

In short, the spicy hot pot crust made by Chen Xuanxuan is to ensure that Gu Yanzhang and his father can provide them with enough calories and energy when they are enduring the cold rain and wind.

This thing is delicious when chewed.

It also makes people feel a strong warmth in rainy weather.

The hot pot crust is made as big as a child's palm and packed in a small bag made of linen. There are twenty-three in each bag, one a day, which is just right!

Thinking of the whole family burping from eating hot pot crust in the past few days, it has become a favorite snack for children. Gu Yanzhang cherished the bag of hot pot crust and hung it on his waist.

This thing is not heavy anyway.

Such a big bag of things only weighs three pounds!

For Gu Yanzhang and his sixty-year-old father, this spicy hot pot is really the ultimate delicacy.

Once they recalled the taste of the fragrant and spicy hot pot, Gu Yanzhang and his father's mouths could not help but drool.

After letting the father and son bring all the things they needed to bring, Chen Xuanxuan took advantage of some time to quickly heat up the bowl of pork belly that she secretly bought on the Qiongheihei app last night.

Then, she asked Gu Yanzhang and his son to eat quickly.

If their stomachs were full, they would not suffer too much on the way to do their labor service.

Gu Yanzhang and his sixty-year-old father also knew that this was not the time to be polite and hypocritical.

The fat of the pork belly tasted delicious. However, time was running out, and Gu Yanzhang and his father ate the meat like a cow chewing a peony. They just stuffed it into their mouths.

In less than a minute, the father and son had eaten up the small bowl of pork belly. They couldn't help but lick the oil in the bowl clean.

Seeing that they were leaving, Chen Xuanxuan reminded them, "You have to take these straw sandals with you. And this raincoat..."

"These things are not worth much anyway, they are all made by us farmers. You can take these things with you and use them. If it is sunny when you come back, you don't have to bring these things back! Otherwise, they will take up space."

Hearing his wife say this, Gu Yanzhang was a little reluctant in his heart. But he still nodded and agreed.

Since his elder and younger brothers-in-law have been in contact with him more and more frequently, he found that his wife has become more and more clean.

Every morning when he gets up, his wife will dress herself up very decently.

Thinking of his own house, which had changed its appearance, Gu Yanzhang suppressed his reluctance and said to Chen Xuanxuan, "Wife, please send us here! We are men and will not be in danger."

"During the twenty days when my father and I are away from home, you must take good care of the children at home. Although the hilltop where we live is relatively close to the village, there are still many wolves in the mountains who can't find food in the spring and run to our place. Two years ago, there was a child in our village who was peeling soybeans in the yard and was taken away by a wild wolf. The child's parents almost went crazy..."

Hearing Gu Yanzhang say this, Chen Xuanxuan quickly responded, "I know, I know."

"I know this matter very well!"

"Except for our two older children, Dazhu and Erzhu, I won't let the other children go out!"

"..."

Hearing his wife say this, Gu Yanzhang was very happy.

That's good, that's good.

After waving to Chen Xuanxuan, the figures of Gu Yanzhang and his father became farther and farther away, and smaller and smaller. Until they completely disappeared at the end of Chen Xuanxuan's sight.

Seeing that her husband and son were gone, Chen Xuanxuan's mother-in-law quickly reached out and gently pulled her sleeve.

"Daughter-in-law, it's raining outside! We have to go inside!"

"You were sick a few days ago, and I, an old woman, was so worried..."
