The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary

At 5 pm, when everyone was busy, in a hidden courtyard in Jinguan City, Nanchen was busy listening to his subordinates' reports. "Sir, the investigation of the villages and towns in Shu has been completed. All 36 groups of personnel have returned to the city. Fifty suspicious persons have been arrested, all of whom are local idlers."

"Sir, we have checked the cloth shops. There are ten cloth shops selling Jiangnan silk and other goods. None of them is a cloth merchant with the surname Liu. The rest of the cloth shops are selling locally produced Shu cloth."

"Sir, we have checked the foreign merchants and found that none of them have come in the last two months. Most of them have been here for more than two or three years and have stable operations. There are no managers or staff who have been replaced recently."

Nanchen clenched his fists and said, "Either they hid deep inside, or they ran away. Pass the order down, those who are out should rest for two days, and the rest should do their duties and report any situation as soon as possible."

"Yes" everyone retreated in an orderly manner.

Nanchen got up and went to the stable, took a horse at random, climbed on it, and galloped out of the back door...

In the wealthy area, Shen's house has a deep courtyard and is heavily guarded. It is said that the richest man, Mr. Shen Si, who is shrewd in business and has a sharp eye, is asking his servants to load the goods onto the carriages. There are five large carriages, each with four guards, ready to go. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from far away, and a "whoosh!" was heard. A tall and handsome man jumped off the horse and strode over. The servant in front of the door took the initiative to meet him and lead the horse.

Nanchen strode into the door, "Old Four, are you ready?"

Shen Wen came over and said, "Brother, the goods have been loaded. This box is jewelry. You take it. Everyone has one. The others can be placed on the two carriages in front!"

Nanchen weighed the weight, smiled and patted Shen Wen's shoulder, "Old Four is a caring person. Let's go, it's best to get home before the sun sets. I miss her!"

Shen Wen: "Okay, I'll ride a horse too!" He waved to the carriage behind to signal for departure.

A team of carriages hurried away, eager to return home!

In the kitchen of Xiaoyao Garden, three women had eaten noodles with soybean paste at noon, and suddenly they had an idea to cook a table of dishes for dinner. First, they could satisfy their craving for food, as they had been missing the food at home for a few days. Second, they could find something to do to kill time.

Yiyi greedily read out the names of the dishes: braised spareribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, scallion chicken, beef in sauce, spicy and sour lotus root cubes, spicy and crispy cucumbers,..."

Yanan was busy gesturing and shouting, "Stop, stop, stop... Cook whatever is in the kitchen!"

Yiyi expressed regret, "Where are the vegetables? Does Second Sister have any in her vegetable garden?"

Bai Lu: "How would I know? I just got here today. Why don't we go to the garden first? It's still early anyway."

"Okay," Yiyi responded positively, Yanan also nodded, and picked up a basket of vegetables.

Xiaoyao Garden is quite large, nestled against the mountains and beside a river. The water is from a small canal that draws water from a mountain spring. The vegetable garden is on both sides of the canal, making it convenient for watering. Further away is a fruit forest.

"There are cucumbers and Chinese cabbages, but those are the only two. The others are still small." After saying that, Yanan put down the basket and started picking vegetables.

"Sister, I want to go over and see what fruits there are?" Yiyi said, looking at the fruit forest.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Bailu, is there a formation in the orchard over there? I'm afraid it will be troublesome if I go in and can't get out." Yanan asked.

Bai Lu, who was also here for the first time, looked around but couldn't see the wall. This place is the big "Ye Xiao said that you can move around inside the wall, but there are only activities outside the wall. We didn't go out of the wall, did we?" Bai Lu was also confused.

"Oh my God! Of course not." Yanan rubbed his forehead, wondering what to do when he was so confused.

Bai Lu chuckled: "It's my first time here too, not much earlier than you guys. Besides, I feel a bit useless now that I'm here. I can't use what I learned, and I have to be carried by someone when I walk. It's so useless!"

Yiyi nodded in agreement, "I'm really afraid of becoming as fat as a pig!"

Yanan: "...Okay, don't think about those things, just adapt first. I won't say anything about hackers, this is the farming era."

Bai Lu: "Isn't your husband a businessman?"

Yanan glared at her: "...What man? I'm not used to it yet."

Bai Lu teased: "Who said adaptation just now?"

Yiyi pointed her finger at Yanan.

Yanan: "You're just talking about me. How many men have you, Bailu, taken?"

Bai Lu narcissistically lifted her hair: "Sister, all handsome men love me!"

"Tsk tsk... don't cry when the time comes." Yanan rolled her eyes at her.

Bai Lu's heart trembled. She had to cry. She couldn't handle any of them!

Yiyi looked at the fight between the two sisters, which was likely to turn to her side, and ran away with a sly smile, "Fruits, fruits, here I come." Yeah, there really are some, autumn pears, and oranges... She quickly waved to the two sisters.

"Sister, sister, there are pears and oranges." She walked around the fruit trees, looking for good ones to pick. When the sisters came over, she already had a big pear in each hand.

"Just pick enough for tonight. Come back when you want to eat more. The ones left on the tree are fresher and sweeter." Yanan said.

"Yeah, I want both pears and oranges. Let me try the oranges first to see if they are sweet." Yiyi said as she ran to pick an orange, peeled off the peel, and put it into her mouth. "Mmm... Mmm... Sweet, sister! She continued to stuff the orange segments into her mouth."

Yanan and Bai Lu smiled and shook their heads, then joined the fruit picking. When they thought it was almost done, the three of them picked up the baskets and went back.

When it was almost time to cook dinner, they would first simmer the rice. Firewood-cooked rice was delicious, but you had to watch the fire. Yiyi watched the fire and helped her sisters pass the vegetable bowls and other things.

Bailu makes the smashed cucumbers, and Yanan is the chef for the rest.

There is beef, and the sauced beef is arranged. Marinate the beef first and leave it for last to cook.

There is chicken and scallion chicken. Steam the whole chicken, cut it into pieces and serve it on a plate. Then prepare the scallion sauce and pour hot oil on it.

If there is no tenderloin, there is lean meat, and sweet and sour pork strips, that's fine too.

Without lotus root, forget about having spicy lotus root cubes.

As for the soup, let’s make a quick soup, such as fresh egg drop soup.

Another dish is stir-fried bok choy.

After that, divide the food into equal portions and place them on plates, then add two plates of fruit. A long table can be fully filled.

When the men finished their work and returned to Xiaoyao Garden, what awaited them were women and a table of delicious food, which smelled delicious. This was a scene that they could never dream of, and they couldn't help but feel warm inside, and each of them walked towards his own woman.

Ling Wuxin took the lead in approaching Yiyi, took a closer look, and took her hand to check: "Are your hands hurt?" "No, I was just lighting the fire, it was all done by my sisters." Yiyi shook her hand awkwardly. "Well, wash your hands first and eat!" Ling Wuxin hugged Yiyi to wash her hands.

Bai Lu was also hugged by Ye Xiao and whispered. Only Yanan and Nanchen were still looking at each other in silence. They only came to their senses when the atmosphere was interrupted by a few deliberate coughs.

Everyone took their seats, except for Xiao Ba who was not back from his mission. Looking at the speed at which everyone was eating, it was clear that the food was to their taste, and the three women smiled knowingly at each other. This dinner was very warm, it was the kind of life that all bachelors dream of, and they were lucky enough to have it.
