The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

“I’ve made some teeth-cleaning medicinal mud toothpaste, but I’m not sure if anyone will buy it.” She stared at his clean teeth, “Third brother, I’ll be selling the toothpaste later, and I want to use your teeth for advertisement. It depends on whether the villagers think your teeth are white enough.”

Xiao Yuchuan was very confident, “My teeth must be the whitest in the village. But… is there really anyone willing to spend money on the toothpaste you mentioned? And, what is an advertisement?”

“Advertisement is to widely inform others.” There was an unbridgeable gap between ancient people and modern people. “I will say that your teeth are so white because you used the toothpaste I made.”

“No, that’s not right, wife. My teeth have always been very white, even before I met you. You were in the Zhu Family, and the Xiao Family had no interactions with you. Saying that my teeth are white because of the toothpaste you made, no one would believe that…”

“Oh, right.” Su Qingyue nodded. Actually, she had thought about it too, but she pretended to blame Xiao Yishan, “Second brother, look, it’s all your fault.

You’ve scared me so much that I didn’t even think about common sense. Second brother, please don’t be mad at Yue’er, okay?”

Xiao Yishan remained silent with a cold face.

“Be angry if you want.” She was also annoyed, “I don’t feel like coaxing you.

Second brother, you can be angry as long as you want.” She stood up and left the room, carried all the herbs she found on the mountain to the yard, and cleaned some of them that needed to be dried.

She needed to make a few drying racks for the herbs…

There are none now, so she’ll have to make them later. For now, she moved all the desks in the house to the yard and laid out the herbs on them to dry.

Anyway, there weren’t too many herbs, and they fit perfectly on the desks.

Those that didn’t need to be dried were placed in one corner of the kitchen.

The decoction in the kitchen pot had become a thick paste, so she added ginger juice and asarum to it and continued boiling.

Looking at the time, it was probably 11 in the morning. The second and third brothers had big appetites, and they only had a bowl of porridge each this morning. They usually eat four bowls of rice per meal. When they replaced rice with porridge, they needed at least eight to ten bowls to be full. They must be hungry by now.

Not to mention those two big eaters, she was also hungry now.

It was estimated that the fourth brother’s stomach would start rumbling too.

There were only about ten unsold sweet potatoes and a few wild vegetables she picked yesterday left in the kitchen.

She fetched some water, cleaned the wild vegetables, took a few burning firewood from the stove pit and added new firewood, so both stove pits were burning.

One stove pot was used for boiling medicinal mud toothpaste, another for frying vegetables.

She didn’t fry the ten sweet potatoes but directly roasted them by the side of the fire, using an iron clamp to move some hot embers.

She added a little oil to the vegetable pot and fried all the wild vegetables. When it was done, she divided them into four bowls and prepared four pairs of chopsticks, placing them all in a bamboo basket.

By then, the ten sweet potatoes were also baked.

She put the sweet potatoes in the basket too. First, she entered the secondary bedroom and placed two baked sweet potatoes and a bowl of wild vegetables on the table next to the bed, along with a pair of chopsticks, “Fourth brother, this is today’s lunch.”

“The men in this family don’t usually eat lunch… You should eat it.” Xiao Qinghe looked at the food. Although they were simple wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, the vegetables cooked by his wife looked appealing and smelled delicious. He felt hungry instantly. But he also knew that this was the last food left in the house, it would be better to save it for dinner..
