Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Meat Scraps

For Tong Erlang, this chicken meat didn’t even count as a delicacy. Chicken meat was not as rich and fatty as pork, and this wild chicken had been stewed in a soup. Tasting it now, it was only slightly better than vegetables.

If one is to talk about satisfying the meat craving, Qiao Xiaomai’s braised pork was undoubtedly the first choice.

Fat but not greasy, fragrant, and soft, thinking of its color, thinking of its taste, Tong Erlang couldn’t help but drool. If he was given a large bowl now, he would certainly eat a large bowl of either steamed buns or rice.

Seeing the bright eyes of his second brother, Tong Sanlang asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I want to eat!” Tong Erlang stuffed another mouthful of noodles in his mouth, stifling the saliva that was about to flow out, “I mean, she just got married and came here, she’s supposed to show off her skills, right? You cooked today’s meals, but they’re far worse than hers.”

“Life is hard!”

Tong Erlang’s face was nearly wrinkled like a steamed bun, he was exhausted every day, and there was no oil or water in the food. Having never suffered so much in his life, he felt as if he was a leaf on a tree, being tortured by the harsh weather and difficult life, ready to fall and merge with the soil at any moment.

“Alright, tomorrow I will go hunting to exchange for some silver money and buy some meat.” Tong Sanlang looked at Tong Erlang’s sunburned red cheeks and nodded.

He knows his second brother well, while his thinking might not be sharp, he has no ill intentions.

These days were indeed tiring, they do need to replenish their strength.

Showing off cooking skills as a new bride was a must. Since Tong Erlang requested braised pork, then braised pork it is.

In the afternoon, after other people left to the fields, Tong Sanlang read for a while and then took a rope to the mountain for a stroll.

Prey is getting harder to come by, and he needs to go even further. By evening, he had returned with a live deer on his back.

This was worth more than a dead one. He harnessed a cattle cart and delivered the deer to Extreme Taste Residence.

With the fifty taels of silver given by Shopkeeper He, he went to the butcher shop and bought a pig’s hind leg and ten pounds of pork belly.

The Zhang Family told him about the four families taking away meat and steamed buns yesterday. He didn’t feel much about it. But, since the Zhang Family mentioned it and given their current situation at home, they did need Qiao Xiaomai to show off her cooking skills, so he did his best to buy.

By the time he returned home, Qiao Xiaomai had already prepared dinner. She made egg pancakes and cooked glutinous rice dumpling soup – eggs and sweet dumplings she had brought from her family.

Tong Family’s eggs were now dependent on the hens laying them and they couldn’t buy them as freely as before. So she simply went home and brought a whole basket.

To be honest, she didn’t mind these little things. With Tong Sanlang as her husband, she wanted to bounce up and down wherever she went. After all, these were Tong Sanlang’s family members. If they could live in harmony, let it be!

This meal was extremely satisfying for everyone. Seeing Tong Sanlang bring home so much meat, everyone was even more pleased.

So that night, when Tong Sanlang heated up water for Qiao Xiaomai to bathe, Zhu Hongyun kept her mouth shut.
