Chapter 139 Mountain Life



"Haha, so that's what you're worried about. Let's keep it covered for now. I'll show you how to remove the dust cover later, and I guarantee not a speck of dust will get in. Okay, you can go now, don't keep me from getting to work."

Time was amused by her and, after solving her problem, began to send her away.

"Okay!"

Since Shi Guang had said so, Lin Momo stopped hesitating and happily rolled out of the house.

I felt really happy.

The last time she cleaned the house, she was exhausted, but this time she can finally be a hands-off manager.

It's good that time has come; there are people to do the work with, and people to solve the problems for her.

At this moment, Lin Momo truly felt what happiness meant.

The sky grew increasingly dark, and the day was drawing to a close.

Lin Momo couldn't really be idle, so as soon as she left the house, she flashed into her spatial dimension to see what she wanted to eat that night.

There's no time to clean the kitchen in the courtyard today; just getting the east room and main room ready for the residents will be enough.

The mountain path was rugged and difficult to traverse. The two of them climbed for a whole day, their backsides sticking out, before finally returning to this small valley. They were exhausted.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to do one step at a time.

They hoard so many supplies just so they can have an easier life, right?

Lin Momo went to see the wolf cubs first.

There is no night in this space.

Uh... that doesn't seem quite right either.

It should be said that you can see things in the space at night, just like the sky at dawn when it is just getting light.

Lin Momo was initially worried that it might be detrimental to the growth of the wolf cubs.

However, seeing that the pheasant and chicks were adapting well, she felt relieved.

But I still want to move it out so that it can sleep in the same nest as Benben and keep each other warm.

Those two cats need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves every day, so Lin Momo has to take time out each day to come in and feed them and check if the litter needs to be changed.

The cat litter here is homemade by Lin Momo using clean sand.

She had secretly dredged the sand from the big river in Linjia Village and piled it up in the corner of the courtyard, forming a small mountain.

She initially thought she could use the money to pave roads, so she collected more than she needed.

They also picked up quite a few pebbles along the way.

Benben even knows to go into the empty vegetable garden to poop, then rummage around a bit and cover it with soil.

The innocent and ignorant wolf cubs would only defecate and urinate anywhere, and even if cat litter was provided, they would occasionally poop outside.

Lin Momo really didn't want to be a cat owner anymore.

The little wolf cub has grown a bit more, and its crawling range is no longer limited to the cement yard. It has ruined quite a few of her vegetable seedlings. I should probably throw it out to Benben for some proper discipline.

"Waaaaah..."

The little wolf cub had already become familiar with its owner, Lin Momo, and greeted her with a pitiful expression as soon as they met.

The little guy tried to climb out of the litter box again, but the inner wall of the wooden box was polished very smoothly, and its claws had no foothold, only leaving scratch marks on the wood.

In order to keep it confined in the basin, Lin Momo changed it to a deeper wooden basin.

He thought to himself, "Let's see how you escape now."

It seems to be working quite well.

Lin smiled and comforted her, "Don't feel wronged, I'll let you out in a bit."

Without Benben's company, the little guy probably feels very uncomfortable.

After looking at the wolf cubs, Lin Momo turned and went to the storeroom where cooked food was stored.

Both of them were starving today, so they shouldn't eat too much tonight. They should just have some easily digestible food instead.

It's cold outside, so we need something hot to feel comfortable.

So Lin Momo quickly decided what to eat: beef noodles.

Beef was not easy to eat in ancient times, and I imagine Shi Guang has never had it either. Tonight, I'll treat him to a delicious meal.

This is braised beef, who wouldn't love it?

Moreover, the beef was bought by Lin Momo from the herdsmen and then braised by herself, so it was absolutely made with the finest ingredients.

Lin Momo thought the best way to eat beef was to braise it. It could be served as a cold dish or as a side dish on top of noodles. With the broth from the braised meat, it was so delicious that it was almost intoxicating.

Fortunately, the beef and broth were readily available, and the cooked hand-pulled noodles were enough for the two of us to eat tonight.

There's no need to fire anymore.

Lin Momo took out two large porcelain bowls and scooped out two bowls of noodles, one large and one small.

Each bowl contains about ten slices of braised beef, a boiled wild egg, two blanched Shanghai bok choy, and is then topped with beef bone broth and half a spoonful of braised meat sauce.

This broth is so thick and flavorful, like concentrated soup stock, that you shouldn't add too much.

Half a spoonful is enough to make it flavorful.

Finally, add the essential seasoning—chili oil.

Shiguang isn't very good at eating spicy food.

Lin Momo only put a small spoonful of soup in his bowl; eating spicy food in winter can warm you up.

You can put more in your own bowl; if it's not enough at first, you can add more and it will be just about right.

"Why does it feel like something's missing?" Lin Momo muttered to herself, staring at the two bowls of beef noodles that smelled so good.

"Oh, I see!"

After saying that, he dashed off to the vegetable garden in the backyard and picked three cilantro plants.

The vegetable leaves are lush and green, without a single yellow leaf, which saves the step of picking the vegetables.

Lin Momo lifted the water tank in the kitchen, scooped up a ladle of water, rinsed it in the vegetable washing basin, shook off the water, and went back to her room.

Chop it up on the chopping board, then sprinkle it on the noodles, and you're done.

"Is this what makes it perfect?!"

The coriander I grew myself smelled especially good, and it was perfect for cutting through the richness of the soup.

Lin Momo estimated that by now the floor had been mopped, the dust covers on the furniture could be removed, and the beds should be arranged.

Place the two bowls on the tray, and then place two pairs of chopsticks on top.

She quickly left the space.

Lin Momo was very curious about how Shi Guang would remove the dust cover.

She had just returned to the main room when Shi Guang walked in from outside, her hands and face hanging at her sides, both wet as if she had just washed.

"You finished mopping so quickly! It's all thanks to you. If it were me, I might not have finished even by dark." Lin Momo praised with a half-hearted smile, "I'll reward you with beef later!"

Both verbal praise and material rewards are necessary to persuade this person to continue their efforts and do more work in the future.

"Princess, I'm glad you're satisfied!" Shi Guang glanced at her with a smile.

Why is this little girl being so sweet-talking today? It's like she's been coated in honey.

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; I'm not falling for it!

Although he said he wasn't buying it, he was actually quite pleased with it, otherwise he wouldn't have been smiling so broadly.

Saying one thing and meaning another is not a woman's prerogative.

Men are no exception.

Lin Momo replied with a grin, "Satisfied, satisfied! If you can really prevent the dust from the dust cloth from getting all over the floor, this princess will be even more satisfied!"

She's the kind of person who's really shameless and takes advantage of kindness.

Once back in the mountains, Lin Momo started to let loose and be herself.

"Then, may I trouble Your Highness for a moment?"
