Hard to be a good wife

Chapter 002 The Semi-Illiterate Pauper

Seeing that the rabbit was roasted beyond recognition, Tang Yue couldn't stand it any longer. He asked the old man for a knife, and took his fish to the river to dispose of it.

The old man's anxious voice of admonition came from behind: "Lang Jun, the fish is not tasty, the thorns are too tasteless, and it is very fishy."

Tang Yue waved his hands without looking back, ready to shock this ancient man with his cooking skills.

He scraped the scales off the fish, cleaned it, and then found a clean twig to string it on. Seeing wild vegetables he had eaten before on the bank, he picked some, washed them and stuffed them into the fish's belly, and then he carried the fish back to the Earth Temple.

"What's the old man's name?" Tang Yue communicated normally for the first time in nearly a month.

The old man was a little nervous, handed over the rabbit meat, and replied cautiously: "Nu Huan Shan."

Tang Yue's heart moved, and his eyes fell on the old man's face. The first time he saw the pattern on his side face, he thought it was a scar at first, but now it looks like a "mountain" character, but the writing style is familiar to him fonts are different.

Thanks to the Chinese ancestors, they were very vivid when creating characters, so that he could recognize one or two simple characters.

Did he come to a slave society?He remembered that only slaves had the habit of tattooing their faces. If this was the case, Tang Yue should be glad that he didn't wear it on a slave.

He took Shan's words calmly. He has been a doctor for more than ten years. It is also a science to extract useful information from patients. Some patients are resistant to doctors and are unwilling to say too much.

Tang Yue asked about his family's situation and his own situation, but the other party was unprepared and told everything he knew.

It's a pity that he didn't know much. Tang Yue only found out that the father of this body was Marquis of Liyang, also surnamed Tang. He had seven daughters, and the eldest daughter was already betrothed to Duke Heng's son.

The housewife's mother's surname is Zhao, and she is also from a wealthy family. Unfortunately, because she failed to give birth to a son, her status in the family is not high.

Tang Yue secretly speculated: [-]% of the original body's father could no longer bear a son, so he tried every means to bring his illegitimate son home to inherit the incense.

In this era, the reproduction of offspring must be very important.

Tang Yue rejected the charred rabbit, and roasted the fish rack on the fire, turning it from time to time. When the skin was a little crispy, he cut a few holes with a knife and sprinkled a little coarse salt on it.

It's a pity that they don't have other seasonings except salt, so they can only eat the original flavor.

The fish was cooked quickly, and soon there was a scent wafting out, Shan looked at Tang Yue curiously and pityingly, in his opinion, only men with low status can cook, and the sons of the family members regard cooks as scourges.

"Okay, I'll share half with you." Tang Yue cut the fish from the middle, and handed the tail part to Shan, "Today, we'll eat what we can, and tomorrow we can look for ingredients while walking on the road."

"No, no, how can I eat the food that Mr. Lang roasted?" Compared with the grilled fish in good shape in Tang Yue's hands, Shan's hand holding the barbecue was trembling, and his face was also hot, but fortunately, others couldn't see it.

"Here, I exchanged this with you. Cut a piece of the rabbit's leg and give it to me." Tang Yue put on a fierce face, making Shan unable to refute.

He used to think that this young man had a face similar to that of the Patriarch, but without the majesty of the Patriarch. It turned out that he was just hiding something.

Shan took a bite of the fish with little hope, and the Lord gave him an inescapable gift. Even if the fish was unpalatable, he would eat it up. This is an affirmation to the master.

"Huh..." After biting a bite of fish, Shan was surprised to find that it was not unpalatable. The skin was burnt and crispy, and the fish was smooth and tender, with a slight fishy smell but not obvious. It was much better than the ones he had eaten before.

During this period, people ate fish either steamed or boiled, and they didn't know how to add seasonings, which had a strong earthy smell, so the nobles never ate fish.

The two ate a fish and a rabbit, and Tang Yue barely ate half full. He was at the age when half a child would eat a poor old man, and his appetite was quite good.

Shan seemed to see that he was tired of eating, and said understandingly: "Mr. Lang, I will go to a nearby village and town tomorrow, and I will buy some dry food to eat on the way."

They seldom bought food along the way, and they all settled in the wild. Tang Yue thought it was because the weather was hot and the cooked food hadn't been kept for a long time.

He found out early in the morning that he was a poor man, without even a single copper coin in his body. Now that he thought about it, maybe he was not the only one who was poor.

"How much money do you have?" Tang Yue asked bluntly.

Shan hurriedly turned out the money bag in the inner pocket of his clothes and handed it to Tang Yue, lowering his head and said: "This time I came out, the master gave me a lot of money, but before my husband was ill, I spent more than half of it on the doctor, now I only have money left." Download these."

Tang Yue could feel his embarrassment, took the money bag and poured it out to see that there were only five coins in total.

When he just woke up, he was indeed drinking medicine. He also saw an arrogant old doctor who took his pulse and prescribed medicine for him. He was drinking ordinary Bupleurum with some ginger, but he charged them a lot of money.

Tang Yue didn't know whether the prescription of this era was so simple or was fooled by the old man. He asked about the price here, and found that five knives were equivalent to 500 yuan, and it was really hard to support the remaining journey of the two of them.

He rubbed his face, returned the money to Shan, asked him to keep it, and then went to the river to wash his hands.

Sitting by the river to pay homage to his house, car and tickets for a while, and recalling the handsome face of his little boyfriend, Tang Yue thought that he is now a semi-literate pauper, sighed faintly, and then went back to the earth temple with a heavy body.

The mountain has already fed the cows and picked up a lot of dry firewood. After finishing all this, he fell asleep. In ancient times without entertainment activities, the nights were extremely long.
