"By the way, my lady, please don't tell anyone about my meeting with the immortal. Otherwise, the immortal will punish you if they find out."
Su Xiaorong nodded solemnly after hearing Ye Ming's words.
"Don't worry, husband, I won't tell anyone. The immortal is so kind. Husband, when we have money, let's build a memorial tablet for him."
What kind of memorial tablet for the system?
"No need. The immortal said we can't reveal anything about him. We just need to be grateful."
"Okay, let's eat quickly. I'll make some instant noodles."
Before Su Xiaorong could say anything else, Ye Ming tore open the instant noodle bag. He placed the noodles in two clean earthenware bowls.
After adding the seasoning, he poured in hot water, then tore open the instant noodle bag and covered them.
"Husband, is that all?"
"Yes, you can eat it in a moment."
Su Xiaorong couldn't help but sigh in admiration after watching Ye Ming's actions. The food the immortals eat is magical.
Just soak it in water and it's done.
"My dear, it smells so good! It's the aroma of meat!" Su Xiaorong hadn't eaten meat in a long time.
The moment she smelled the instant noodles, she swallowed unconsciously.
"Mm, it smells really good. It's almost time to eat."
Ye Ming found a few bamboo sticks, washed two pairs of simple chopsticks, and prepared them.
"Come on, eat."
Su Xiaorong took the chopsticks and began to eat the instant noodles, imitating Ye Ming's example. The moment the noodles entered her mouth, Su Xiaorong was amazed.
"So delicious! This is simply the best thing I've ever tasted. Salt, oil, and meat!"
For Su Xiaorong, eating something with salt and oil was a blessing.
Not to mention instant noodles made with technology and precision.
"If you like it, finish it. Otherwise, it's inedible when it gets cold."
Hearing Ye Ming's words, Su Xiaorong quickly dove into it, abandoning the thought of saving it for another meal. She even drank the noodle soup.
After finishing her instant noodles, Su Xiaorong's face was filled with satisfaction. She hadn't had a full meal in ages.
"My dear husband, I'm so full. I haven't had a full meal in ages."
Even with his vision dim, Ye Ming could still see Su Xiaorong's beaming smile. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Just a bowl of instant noodles could make this girl so happy.
In his previous life, if a man let his girlfriend eat instant noodles, many would have chosen to skin him.
"Xiaorong, I promise you, you'll have a full meal every day from now on."
"Yes, yes, husband, I believe you! Our lives will get better and better."
Ye Ming had been thinking of washing the dishes himself, but Su Xiaorong stopped him.
"My dear husband, I'll wash the dishes. You sit back and wait for me to finish and help you dry yourself."
Watching Su Xiaorong's busy back, Ye Ming couldn't help but sigh at the joy of having such a virtuous and beautiful wife. She was so capable day and night.
Soon, Su Xiaorong came over with a basin of hot water.
This wooden basin was originally here. Although there are some cracks, it is still usable.
"Husband, take off your clothes. I will help you wash your body."
When Su Xiaorong said this, her face was flushed and hot.
Fortunately, the sun had already set, leaving only a trace of crimson afterglow.
Otherwise, if Ye Ming saw it, he would probably tease her like he did when they consummated their marriage last night.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Ye Ming had never been helped to wash his body by a woman in his two lives except when he was a child.
"Husband, this is my duty. You have worked hard taking care of the house and hunting. Just take a good rest."
Su Xiaorong wet the towel and started to wash.
Not to mention that it feels good to be helped to take a bath, especially with Su Xiaorong's soft little hands.
The touch made Ye Ming a little angry.
"My dear, did you hide any white flour buns?"
"White flour buns?"
"No?"
"Nonsense! You clearly hid two, but I haven't had any in ages."
Su Xiaorong instantly understood, her blushing face burning even hotter.
"Please have mercy, my husband."
That night, Ye Ming finally got his wish and ate the white flour buns.
The next morning, Ye Ming got up, washed up briefly, and rushed to Qingshui County with the hedgehog in his arms.
Su Xiaorong, feeling quite bothered by Ye Ming and given the heavy snow the previous night, waited patiently for him to return home.
Qingshi Village was about seven or eight miles from Qingshui County, neither far nor near. Walking alone would probably take the better part of an hour.
..
Qingshui County.
Looking at the mud and stone walls and the four large, ancient characters, Ye Ming knew he hadn't made the wrong choice.
In the original owner's memory, he had only been to Qingshui County a few times. He had only come because Wang Dajiao wanted to rent him out for work.
Therefore, he, who had received the memories of the original owner, was not very familiar with the road, but fortunately, he did not go the wrong way.
Perhaps because it snowed heavily last night and it was too cold, the guards at the gate were very lenient.
Seeing that Ye Ming was dressed in good condition, he was let into the city.
"Now we have to find a place to sell this hedgehog."
Generally, only restaurants would buy game, so Ye Ming looked for a nearby restaurant.
"Hey, young man, you are a hunter outside the city."
Just as Ye Ming was looking for a restaurant, he was stopped by someone. Ye Ming turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed quite elegantly. The cloth did not look like silk, but it was much better than his coarse linen clothes.
"Who are you?"
The man saw Ye Ming stop and said hurriedly.
"I am the shopkeeper of Piaoxianglou (Fragrant Pavilion), Zhang Youde. I saw you carrying this bristly pig, and I thought I'd ask if you'd sell it."
It's said that a prominent figure is coming to Fragrant Pavilion today, specifically requesting this bristly pig.
Bristly pigs are a rarity, rarely seen, though hunters from Huang's Restaurant occasionally bring some. He had been thinking of trying his luck at Huang's Restaurant, but unexpectedly ran into Ye Ming.
"Sell it, of course, but I'm not sure how much money Manager Zhang is willing to give."
The situation was urgent; otherwise Zhang Youde would have to negotiate a lower price. Otherwise, if Ye Ming sold the bristly pig to Huang's Restaurant, he'd have to beg them.
"I'll give you one pound and one ounce of silver. If you're happy with it, come with me to Fragrant Pavilion. I'll have someone weigh it for you."
One pound and one ounce of silver!
He had assumed Manager Zhang would at most offer the same price as Huang's Restaurant, but he'd actually doubled it!
"Okay, I'll sell it!"
Ye Ming was then led to Fragrant Pavilion.
"Ergou, bring the scale over here, and get this little brother a bowl of hot water."
The waiter, Ergou, quickly brought the scale and a bowl of hot water to Ye Ming.
"Shopkeeper, including the fur, it's a total of 16 jin and 1 liang." (1 jin = 0.5kg)
After hearing the waiter's weighing, Zhang Youde readily gave Ye Ming 16 liang of silver. Logically, furs can't be bought for money.
"Little brother, let's just make friends with this extra silver. If you ever hunt game again, come find me and the price is negotiable."
