Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

The last step requires simmering over low heat. Jiang Nan pulled some matches out of the fire.

After the water in the pot boils, it makes a gurgling sound.

When Jiang Shuang and Jiang Bei heard that Jiang Nan was going to refine salt, they became curious and stretched their heads to look into the pot.

"Sister, where's the salt?" Jiang Shuang looked at the water in the pot and saw that it was about to dry up, and a big question mark appeared in his little head.

You will know soon, Jiang Nan said mysteriously.

After all the water in the pot was boiled away, Jiang Nan took the pot off the fire.

Gu Yanzhou suddenly became curious about Jiang Nan's identity. How could an ordinary peasant girl have so many things?

After the pot cooled down completely, Jiang Nan reached out and scooped out some white crystals from the pot, put them in his mouth, and the taste of salt spread in his mouth.

Jiang Nan grinned, she succeeded, it was a familiar taste.

Gu Yanzhou's attention had been drawn to Jiang Nan when she said she wanted to refine salt, but he didn't expect that she would actually succeed.

She knows how to refine salt, so who is she?

Jiang Nan was still immersed in the joy of successful refining and did not notice Gu Yanzhou's gaze at all.

Jiang Nan stood up with the kitchen knife and went to the well to clean it. The knife was just used by Gu Yanzhou to clean the snake, and there was a lot of blood on it.

Holding the kitchen knife, Jiang Nan couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought that the blood on the knife was snake blood, and he felt very disgusted.

It might not be enough to clean it with clean water alone, so Jiang Nan went to the well, squatted on the ground, grabbed a few handfuls of dirt and rubbed it hard on the kitchen knife to clean the blood stains, and then washed it with clean water.

After cleaning, Jiang Nan went back and put the water stains on the kitchen knife over the fire to dry them.

Then he used a kitchen knife to clean all the salt off the edge of the pot.

There was not much salt, just a small handful in the hand, so Jiang Nan temporarily put it in a clean bowl beside him.

With this salt, it is enough for the four of them to eat for at least ten days.

After doing all this, Jiang Nan began to prepare dinner, still chestnuts and wild vegetables.

However, Jiang Nan did not plan to roast the chestnuts this time. After eating them for several days in a row, they were too dry.

I have some time today, so I plan to boil the chestnuts, which will make them softer and more glutinous.

Jiang Nan became worried when he saw the snake that had been cleaned up nearby.

"Let's roast this snake and eat it!" Although Gu Yanzhou had a cold personality, he was good at observation. He saw the resistance in Jiang Nan's eyes at a glance, so he took the initiative to speak to Jiang Nan.

"Okay, just do as you say."

"Xiaobei, take this snake to the well and wash it. I'm really scared of it."

No matter whether they are alive or dead, they cannot be seen. Just thinking about it, Jiang Nan felt a sense of fear spreading in his heart.

She may have a natural inability to get along with snakes.

"I'll go with you," Gu Yanzhou carefully propped himself up and followed Jiang Bei to the well.

Jiang Nan did not stop him. The village had suffered a disaster and meat was a rare commodity. It would be good to have an adult go with him.

Jiang Nan found a suitable branch nearby, sharpened one end, and used it to roast the snake meat.

"What are you doing? This is ours." Jiang Nan suddenly heard Jiang Bei's voice beside the well.

Jiang Nan put down what he was holding and hurried over with Jiang Shuang.

"Stop," Jiang Nan shouted. It turned out to be the three naughty kids from Ergou's family again. They were about to snatch the snake meat from Jiang Bei's hands, but were stopped by Gu Yanzhou.

The eldest brother of Ergou's family was tall and strong. When he heard Jiang Nan's voice, he looked at his other two brothers.

He actually wanted to bypass Gu Yanzhou and snatch it directly.

But before the person could get close, Gu Yanzhou kicked one person away.

"Get out," Gu Yanzhou shouted coldly with a sullen face.

Jiang Nan was shocked. He had just started walking, so how could the wound withstand such a big movement?

Jiang Nan stepped forward quickly and stopped Gu Yanzhou and Jiang Bei behind him.

"You guys are stubborn, aren't you? Why don't we go over there and discuss this in person?"

When the eldest brother of Ergou's family saw Jiang Nan coming, he immediately slipped away with his two younger ones.

Originally, he wanted to take the thing and run away before Jiang Nan came over, and he didn't take the sickly guy seriously at all. Who knew that this guy was so powerful.

"Which is more important, the snake or the person? The wound was just about to heal, but you're giving up your life," Jiang Nan turned around and started yelling at Gu Yanzhou.

"The wound is fine," Gu Yanzhou said somewhat awkwardly. Even though Jiang Nan scolded him, he did not feel angry at all. It seemed as if a warm current was flowing through his heart.

"Go home and I'll show you." Jiang Nan suddenly realized that his tone seemed a little too extreme, and his voice softened.

When Gu Yanzhou got back, he said he didn't feel anything, but Jiang Nan didn't believe him and forcefully examined him, and found that the wound was indeed not bleeding again.

Jiang Nan finally felt relieved. After spending these few days together, Jiang Nan had already considered Gu Yanzhou a friend.

When she went up the mountain, Gu Yanzhou was able to look after the child for him, and today he helped Jiang Bei despite his own injuries.

"Since you're fine, I'll leave the snake to you," Jiang Nan threw the stick he had prepared long ago to Gu Yanzhou.

Since he can kick people, there should be nothing wrong with sitting and roasting some snake meat.

Gu Yanzhou didn't say anything. He picked up the prepared branches, threaded the snake meat on the stick, and sat by the fire to roast it.

The two little guys sat beside Gu Yanzhou, one on each side, like two guardians on the left and right.

When Jiang Nan saw this scene, he was puzzled. When did the relationship between these three people become so good? He had a big question in his mind.

The two of them performed their respective duties, and Jiang Nan cooked the chestnuts in the pot.

"Mr. Jiang, if you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave today."

Ergou's wife came over with her second son who was kicked by Gu Yanzhou, followed by the village head.

Jiang Nan stood up leisurely, and looked at the mother and son with a cold look in his eyes, as if a trace of chill was about to overflow.

"Before I could find you, you brought your good son to me."

"You beat my son. Tell me what we should do!" Ergou's wife took her son to Jiang Nan's residence and sat down on the ground, crying.

"Your son is a pervert and he's stealing our things. What can you say about that?" Jiang Nan glanced at Ergou's wife lying on the ground.

"No, you hurt my son, you have to pay compensation."

So this guy is here to extort money.

"Uncle Lizheng, look, they came to rob Jiang Bei's things, and Gu Yanzhou tried to stop them. His wounds were broken open, and I haven't even gone to find them yet!"

"Okay, Ergou's wife, it's not that I don't trust your Erzhuang, but if you tell that man in the village, will he believe what your child said? Take the child and leave quickly!" said the head of the village impatiently.

"No, no matter what, he beat my child, it's a fact." Ergou's wife started throwing tantrums on the ground.

"Okay," Jiang Nan agreed, turned around, helped Gu Yanzhou, who was grilling meat, and walked to Ergou's wife.

"Our wound has finally healed, but it's opened again. You should compensate us first!"

"Ergou, you useless thing, why are you still hiding there? Are you making your wife embarrassed here?" Li Zhengqi gasped and shouted at Ergou in the crowd in the distance.

Ergou then came out reluctantly.

Gu Yanzhou looked at the person walking out of the crowd and his face became gloomy. It was him.
