When Nanzhi woke up in the morning, she went into her space again to take a look.
Since the space was upgraded, it has become much larger, and the treasure beast is running around happily inside. When it sees its master, it rushes over to rub against him.
Nanzhi picked up the treasure beast, parted its fur, and found that yesterday's injuries had healed, but the fur had not yet grown back where it had been injured by the whip.
Looks like I need to eat something to nourish myself.
Nanzhi plucked a Ganoderma lucidum from the ground and placed it in front of the treasure beast.
The Ganoderma lucidum, nourished by the spiritual energy of the space and the spiritual spring, has excellent medicinal effects.
He quickly finished showing off the entire Ganoderma lucidum, then opened his big, watery eyes and looked at Nanzhi.
Nanzhi:······
Two palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms weren't enough for him?
Nanzhi looked at her medicinal herb field. There were not many Ganoderma lucidum left, some Polygonum multiflorum, and the rest were common herbs.
The most abundant thing is probably the ginseng fruit on the tree.
A short while later, the treasure beast sat on the ground, holding a pile of ginseng fruits, and slowly ate them.
At this moment, Nanzhi discovered that a tender sprout had emerged from the spiritual spring.
The snow lotus was taken by the medical encyclopedia, so she collected the snow lotus seeds and threw them into the spiritual spring. Unexpectedly, they grew so quickly, and it looks like there's more than one. How much money could she make if she sold them?
Nanzhi couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to lie amidst piles of white silver.
These past few days, the wolves on the mountain haven't come down to harass us. I don't know if they're afraid or if the wolf pack has some other plans.
Thinking that the herbs in the space had matured, Nanzhi picked them all, leaving the roots to grow again.
Most of the herbs that pharmacies buy are dried or processed.
Nanzhi had no choice but to take the herbs out and lay them on the ground to dry, turning them over from time to time to prevent them from growing mold.
The rabbits in the cage kept having litter after litter, and Nanzhi had no choice but to change the water to regular water.
If she lets them grow, she'd probably have to clear the entire mountainside to feed them.
So Nanzhi decided to contribute to the rabbit population reduction program.
Stir-fried rabbit meat, spicy rabbit head, dry pot rabbit—Nanzhi seemed to see many rabbits waving at her.
They immediately picked one out, and the rabbit started kicking wildly in fear. Nanzhi had no choice but to find a rope and tie the rabbit's four legs together.
He took out a kitchen knife and brandished it at the rabbit, unable to let go for a long time.
To be honest, I wish Song Hanyan were here right now.
When Granny Liu, who was passing by, saw Nanzhi's actions, she immediately threw away the melon seeds in her hand.
"Oh my goodness, what are you doing?"
It was Granny Liu from the village. I remember she spoke up for her last time.
Nanzhi: "Slaughtering rabbits."
Granny Liu snatched the knife away with disgust: "How can you kill a rabbit like that! Why did you gag it?"
Nanzhi squatted down beside her: "It's too noisy."
Grandma Liu: Is this slaughtering a rabbit or torturing it?
In a few swift movements, she swiftly brought down her knife, and the two rabbits lay motionless on the ground.
"Can you peel it?"
Nanzhi shook her head decisively.
"I won't do anything to you, just let your man come back and kill you."
Nanzhi was like a trained kitten, squatting to the side, not daring to make a sound.
Grandma Liu happily helped Nanzhi prepare the rabbit before washing her hands.
After all, she had helped her, and she didn't seem bad either, so Nanzhi took out ten coins and put them in her hand.
"What are you doing? It's just killing a rabbit, you don't need this many."
Grandma Liu pushed the money Nanzhi offered back, saying, "I'm only helping you because you're a young girl, so I'll waive the money."
Back in the day, her father was a butcher, skilled in wielding his knife. She was no less capable than him. If it weren't for the poor harvests these past few years, she wouldn't have to live a vegetarian life every day.
Nanzhi didn't want any money; she wondered what she could do to thank Granny Liu.
Nanzhi walked to the rabbit cage. The rabbits inside all huddled in their burrows when they saw her. She reached out and pulled out two of the smaller ones.
"Grandma Liu, these two rabbits are for you."
Oh dear, what a spendthrift! One of these little rabbits can sell for thirty coins in town, two would be sixty coins, and he just gives them away like that.
Besides, rabbits on the mountain are hard to catch. If you find one like this, the whole family has to take care of it and wait for it to have offspring to supplement the family income.
Grandma Liu stared at Nanzhi with a strange look for two seconds.
"Grandma, don't worry, I don't have time to sell them. These things grow so fast, I really can't keep them alive. Please do me a favor and take two with you."
Judging from her expression, she didn't seem to be lying. After hesitating for a moment, Grandma Liu took it.
Alright, alright, for the sake of the rabbit, I'll keep an eye on it from now on.
What on earth did that old hag Shu Zhizhen teach the child? How come he can't even kill a rabbit?
Grandma Liu didn't understand why she seemed to have taken on a job just because she went out once.
Isn't it nice to sit at the village entrance with your sisters all day eating sunflower seeds?
What kind of situation is this?
Forget it, the girl is pitiful. She suffered at her parents' home and then married a rough man who doesn't know how to take care of her. It's no big deal to help her out a bit.
Nanzhi was unaware of Granny Liu's complex inner thoughts; at that moment, she was busy preparing rabbit meat.
Cut the rabbit meat into small pieces, then rinse it in water. Put it in a pot of cold water with white wine to remove the fishy smell, and cook until it changes color.
Then, add oil, scallions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry for a while. Then add Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, and bay leaves and stir-fry. Add the rabbit meat and stir-fry. Finally, add water and start stewing.
Before long, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of rabbit meat.
Nanzhi scooped out the meat and then kneaded the dough to make noodles.
The broth from the spicy rabbit meat is absolutely amazing when mixed with noodles!
The noodles and meat were freshly made and should be eaten while they were hot, but Song Hanyan hadn't returned yet.
Nanzhi stared at the meat on the plate, her mouth watering.
"Zhizhi, I'm back."
Nanzhi looked up and saw a pale-faced scholar standing in front of her, with beautiful eagle eyes, a high nose, and slender, exceptionally red lips.
The handsome guy even has eight-pack abs.
There are such handsome guys in Taile Village?
Wait a minute, why is this handsome guy shirtless? Is he planning to assault me?
Nanzhi carefully backed away, picked up a fire poker from the side and hid it behind her back, not forgetting to flirt with the handsome man.
Hey, handsome, who are you?
He was lecherously staring at the other person's face, practically whistling at them.
Perhaps not expecting his wife to act this way, Song Hanyan was stunned for a moment.
"Zhizhi, it's me."
Nanzhi: Hmm?
Why does that handsome guy's voice sound so familiar?
"I am Song Hanyan."
No, Song Hanyan?!
Eyes, nose, and smooth forehead—yes, it really is Song Hanyan.
The fire poker behind Nanzhi fell to the ground with a muffled thud.
Song Hanyan: ······
Nanzhi: Luckily, I didn't do anything too outrageous just now.
"How did you become like this?" Nanzhi asked curiously.
Why would anyone think of shaving off his thick beard? Isn't it said that a man's beard is as essential as a woman's hair?
Song Hanyan: "Why don't you like it?"
Nanzhi: I suspect you're flirting with me.
"I love it." I love it to bits.
Who would have thought that picking up a guy would turn him into a heartthrob in a second? It's like winning the lottery!
