Chapter 90: Chapter 088 Yan Can’t Keep a Serious Face Any Longer [270 votes+]

——————

Zhang Shanni was looking at the lively wild game next to the kitchen with a headache. According to her, the marten that her husband had recently hunted was a fresh catch, and it was very clever and not easy to capture. Now that the guests seemed to be of high status, she felt it was necessary to show off her signature dish to enhance her husband’s reputation.

But then she thought, it’s already eleven o’clock, and as a village woman, if she botches things up in front of a sharp person like Li Baojia, it wouldn’t be easy to clear things up.

As for the Xie Family, they certainly weren’t fools. It was just that she, being a native to the area, the original owner of the body had since childhood been known as honest and capable. It was not too surprising that she could procure food from the mountains, and people would just think that the original owner had been driven hard by relatives. After all, why she committed suicide by jumping into the lake was widely known.

But if she, without thinking, were to conjure up a table of fine food out of thin air, she felt it would be unwise and unrealistic.

After all, the current ingredients and seasonings of the Xie Family were laid out right here; she couldn’t just create something from nothing.

In the end, she decided to butcher the wild chicken first and start stewing it. The simplest dish would be chicken stewed with mushrooms, a common meal for her family. The wild chicken itself was rich and tasty, and didn’t require any seasoning to taste delicious, especially when paired with wild mushrooms, making it an outstanding rustic dish.

She butchered the chicken, marinated it simply, and put it on the stove, then washed the rice to steam. This time, she steamed plain rice since it would be impolite to serve the usual old rice with sweet potatoes when having guests over!

Especially since they were about to have precious refined rice coming in very soon.

Hmm, what about making some chive pockets, blanching some Chinese cabbage, and their home-cured fish was quite nice too!

After finishing what she could do, Zhang Shanni looked at the lump of snake corpse on the ground and felt a bit unsettled—she really liked snake meat soup, but the problem was, she didn’t know how to butcher a snake!

Just as she was fretting, Xie Jingchen came in.

"Brother Chen!" The moment Zhang Shanni saw her husband, she rushed over to him excitedly, pointing at the two pieces of game on the ground, "I don’t know how to butcher snakes! Let’s do it together!"

"Be careful!" Xie Jingchen promptly embraced her, and seeing his little wife’s joyful expression because of his arrival, he couldn’t maintain his stern face any longer. He gently pinched her soft and smooth little cheek and said, "I know, I’ve just come. Be careful not to be clumsy."

Due to Zhang Shanni leaping into Xie Jingchen’s arms as soon as she saw him step over the threshold, Xie Jingchen was startled by her action and thought it wouldn’t be worth it if she accidentally fell, so he spoke the last part with a serious face.

"I’m just happy!" Seeing Xie Jingchen, Zhang Shanni’s heart rejoiced, and her behavior carried the coquettishness of a little woman. Seeing that he was not angry at her but just disliked her rash behavior, she didn’t mind.

She had sensed others coming with her spiritual power completely spread out, and knew it was only safe to behave so unrestrainedly because he had come!

Most importantly, she was truly happy in her heart—it was a joy from the inside out. She didn’t know why she was so joyful; just seeing Xie Jingchen made her heart feel good!

"Sure, be happy but keep safety in mind. You go handle other things; leave these two to me. It’ll be quick!" Xie Jingchen took advantage of the privacy to leave a light peck as a mark in her luminous apricot eyes, then got to work with the game at the well.

"Hmm hmm hmm~~" Zhang Shanni, sweetly touching her right eye, felt that spot getting warm... Watching her husband walk away and humming softly to herself, the tune was monotonous yet rising, cheerful and lively.

First, Zhang Shanni went to the vegetable garden to cut some chives and picked a good amount of Chinese cabbage. Then noticing how tender the cucumbers were, she thought of garlic smashed cucumbers and started craving it, immediately taking action—pick, pick, pick!
