my husband

Si Yan prefers spicy food, but Yun Li's current physical condition is not suitable for spicy food, so Si Yan cooks it very lightly.

Basically, it is stir-fried. When the heat is almost ready, add a little water and simmer for a while, and then add an appropriate amount of salt.

Because their village is right by the sea, there is really no shortage of salt to eat. There is a family in the village that specializes in drying salt. Although the output cannot be high enough to export, it is still enough to supply a village.

Because I live by the sea, it is really convenient to dry salt, so the price of salt is cheap compared to the inland.

Therefore, people here especially like to cook that kind of cured meat.

In winter, it is very difficult to eat fresh meat, which is basically processed meat such as bacon and cured meat, which will be used a lot.

Besides fried radish with bacon, Si Yan also picked small green vegetables from his own field.

There is no market here, and every household grows their own vegetables. If there is not enough vegetables, they can take things to other villagers' homes to exchange.

Of course, this does not mean that money is not easy to use in the village. In fact, money is a good thing that can be used everywhere.

It's a pity that Si Yan really doesn't have much money at the moment!

The ingredients in winter are too simple. After Si Yan fried the vegetables, he made egg drop soup with eggs.

Really pure egg drop soup, only egg drop and nothing else.

In fact, there are not many ordinary farmers who can eat eggs every day. When the chickens they raise lay eggs, they will want to save the eggs and then take them to the market to sell for some money.

In other words, only people who live a relatively relaxed life will keep eggs for themselves.

Si Yan raised two chickens, one male and one female, and the hen basically laid an egg every day, which was just fine for him to keep for himself, but now that there are two of them, they can only drink egg drop soup.

Everything reminded him that he was poor...not really!

Everything reminds him that he is not alone now!

After all, man is a social animal, and he is not withdrawn. He has always been willing to communicate with others.

The most important thing is that Yun Li is the most special person he has ever met in this world.

Yun Li's upbringing and conversation are very good, and his logical thinking ability is clear. Most importantly, he has his own thoughts and will not blindly follow other people's opinions.

This is very rare among ancient people, especially ancient farmers.

Except for Yun Li, during this period of time, all the people Si Yan saw looked a little bit dowdy.

The two dishes and one soup were ready quickly, and Si Yan dug out a small low table that hadn't been used for a long time from the corner, placed delicious food and bowls and chopsticks, and brought the things into the room.

It is inconvenient for Yun Li to move around now.

"The meal is ready, move your body and I'll set the table up." Si Yan said hastily as soon as he entered the door.

Yun Li was reading a book at first, and upon hearing this, he hurriedly moved a little inside, leaving enough space for the small table brought by Si Yan.

"What delicious food did you cook today? It smells so good. I smelled it just now when I was reading in this room!" Yun Li put down the book and praised sincerely.

After Si Yan put down the table, he sat down directly opposite Yun Li, and said, "Have you been using a towel to cool down your ankles just now?"

Yun Li covered his face with a book, and with a guilty look, he said for a long time, "I forgot."

"I really can't do anything about you! Eat first, and I'll help you after the meal!" As he spoke, Si Yan refilled a bowl full of rice for Yun Li.

Yun Li then closed the book, put it aside, and took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Si Yan.

"Yun Li, I...can you teach me how to read and write?" Si Yan asked hesitantly after eating.

It was normal for him to hesitate. In the Li Dynasty, the status of scholars was very high, so most people wanted to read and write, and it would be best if they could get fame.

"You want to be an official?"

"Why do you think so? I just want to read. It's fine to be an official. I don't think this is the material!" Si Yan was surprised by Yun Li's brain circuit.

In fact, the reason is very simple, Si Yan just doesn't want to be illiterate.

What a touching reason!

Well, it's no wonder Yun Li thinks so, after all, how many people don't want to be an official!

The most important thing is that no matter whether others want to be an official or not, all scholars definitely want to be an official anyway, otherwise there would not be so many people going to study.

Of course, it is true that there are many outlets after reading the book.

For example, if someone recruits an accountant, then of course they need to be literate!The accountant doesn't have to be out in the wind and sun, and it's a relatively easy job.

Since Si Yan wanted to learn, Yun Li naturally would not refuse.

Neither of them realizes how important it is for ordinary people in this era to teach someone to read and write.

You must know that ordinary people send their children to study and write at the home of those who have not even passed the exam as a scholar. Not only do they have to pay a lot of tuition fees, but they also have to give gifts regularly, especially during festivals.

All in all, it's a big expense.

It is not uncommon for ordinary people to go bankrupt in order to support a scholar.

This shows from the side that Si Yan was able to follow Yun Li to learn how to read characters so easily because the two of them belonged to a state that was separated from their current living class.

The original owner's parents could read and write, so the original owner didn't think it was a big deal, let alone Si Yan. In modern society, knowing how to write is only basic, and those who can't write are directly illiterate.

Yun Li's class meant that he, like Si Yan, had no contact with illiterate people.

The people around him, even court ladies, must know a few words, otherwise they would not even be qualified to serve him.

Anyway, no matter what other people are, they don't think there is anything wrong.

To be honest, they met each other when they started a new life, otherwise, there would probably be many troubles.

This is probably also a kind of fate.

After eating, Si Yan cleaned up all the dishes and chopsticks, and then brought in a basin of cooler water.

After helping Yunli put it on, Si Yan asked Yunli: "What are your plans in the future, find a small place to nest, or make a name for yourself in a new place?"

The two situations in this question represent two choices, one is to live an ordinary pastoral life like Si Yan chose.

Of course, it's best to find a way to live a rich and secluded life in the countryside. It would be terrible to worry about filling your stomach every day.

The second option is to start making contributions again, and eventually return to Yunli's past life.

You don't have to hesitate about what Yun Li chooses, okay? If he wants to live the life in the past, if he shows up in real body, he will be the first emperor immediately.

Although it is certain that the entire Li Dynasty will be shaken three times and the situation will be unstable, no one dares to touch him for a while.

"I'd better nest up, after all, there are many enemies!" Yun Li said half-truthfully.

However, it is not a lie for him to say that there are many enemies, after all, many of his brothers who lost to him are still alive.

Among other things, being seen by them is a huge trouble.

Perhaps it was because the other party was the first person I met in an unfamiliar environment, and the three views and getting along were quite compatible, so the two quickly became acquainted within a few days of getting along.

After chatting for a while, Si Yan seized the time to help Yun Li soak the cold compress again.

"It's a pity that there are no ice cubes now, otherwise the effect will be better."

Now the foot of the mountain is not that cold, and the only way to find ice is to go up the mountain. However, the person who knows the way has lost his combat effectiveness. He doesn't know the way, so it's better not to run blindly up the mountain.

The small soil bag in the yard is probably still burning inside, and the soil outside is half dry.

Seeing that the weather outside was fine and there was no sign of a change in the weather, Si Yan took the hatchet, talked to Yun Li and went out.

There is a very lush bamboo forest on the side close to the village, and Si Yan is going to cut some bamboo to make things.

Now the family lacks everything, there is no way, things used to be shared by one person.

Si Yan said that the original owner's EQ is also really low. Although he lives alone, he can't just have one stool!What if there are guests coming?

Therefore, it is not without reason that the original owner has no sense of presence in the village.

When he got to the bamboo forest over there, Si Yan saw many people were chopping bamboo.

Not all of them were preparing for their own use like Si Yan, many of them were making things like baskets and stools to sell for money.

Now that the late rice has been harvested, no matter how cold the field is, nothing will grow. If we don't find something to increase our income, then the coming year will be even harder.

"Brother Zhuzi, little Maotou, come and chop bamboo too!" Si Yan approached the forest and greeted them.

These two people are about the same age as Si Yan, and the pillar is only a few months older than Si Yan, and the child can already climb.

Even Xiao Maotou, who is one year younger than Si Yan, is now discussing marriage.

The two of them wanted to say hello to Si Yan when they saw him, but they didn't expect that Si Yan, who usually doesn't talk much, would take the initiative to talk to them today.

They were stunned for a moment, but they were quite happy for Si Yan's transformation. After all, the previous Si Yan family had no relatives and elders, and his mouth was tight and reticent, and he was poor. How could a girl like him!

But Si Yan is good-looking, if he is more cheerful, plus he is diligent and willing to do things, it will be much easier to find a wife.

"Yes! I'm going to chop bamboo to make a small car for my baby to play with! I'll also make some stools, baskets and dustpans. I'll plant seeds in the spring, so I won't have time or time to prepare these." Zhu Zi talked about his family. Dear son, his face is full of joy.

Zhuzi's family is a relatively wealthy family in the village. Because he has a lot of land, he only needs to prepare for his own use in winter.

Si Yan saw that he was going down three or two times, so he chopped off a big bamboo that was as thick as an arm and seven or eight meters high, so he also found a bigger one.

Si Yan is so strong that he can split it more easily than a pillar.

"Brother Zhuzi, little boy, then I'll go back first!" Si Yan didn't cut down too much, only two of the larger ones, and a few that were as thick as a wrist.

Zhu Zhu and Xiao Maotou agreed, and went to do their own business. They wanted a lot of usage, so they cut it down at one time, and then they had to get it home in batches.

Si Yan didn't pay that much attention, just tie it up and just put it on his shoulders.
