Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With the help of Li Miao and Dashan, Zhao Zhan finally had more time on his hands.
Apart from the marinade that he had to use to order the tofu, he did not tell the two of them about it. The other trivial tasks were basically shared by the husband and wife.
Zhao Zhan took some time off and went up the mountain again.
The last time he set up a trap, he caught two rabbits. He walked around the trap and didn’t find the tiger.
Could it be that the tiger was bitten to death when he was seriously injured and fighting with other animals?
Zhao Zhan probed deeper into the forest, but he still found nothing.
These few days, he had delivered the goods again with Manager Li and paid the share of the money. Now, he had nearly 100 silver in his hands, which was far from the 300 silver needed to build a house.
Master Fu would arrive at Willow Village the day after tomorrow. He wanted to build the house and move in before winter. The matter of silver could no longer be delayed.
“Zhao Zhan, is there something bothering you recently?”
Yue Jiaojiao realized for the first time that Zhao Zhan was absent-minded. She reached out and rubbed his chin. “Tell me about it…”
“I was just thinking about where the tiger that fought with me in the mountains went.”
“A tiger?” Yue Jiaojiao tried to sense the tiger’s appearance carefully. She had never seen the tiger before, so she could not really tell what it looked like. She waved her hand casually and said, “Forget it, don’t think about it. It might run into you in two days. Don’t be distracted by silly things. Are the steamed pork ribs in the pot ready? ”
The aroma of the steamed pork ribs had already filled the entire cave. Yue Jiaojiao took a deep breath and moved her little bench closer to Zhao Zhan. “I told you to make this powder. I wonder how it tastes.”
“It’s almost done. I’ll take a piece out to try. If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll make you another one,” Zhao Zhan said as he opened the lid. The steamed pork ribs on the steamer were bright in color. He picked up a piece, blew on it, and put it in his mouth. He then smiled and nodded. “You’ll like it.”
While he was speaking, he had already brought the steamed pork to her mouth.
This kind of meat with bones was usually sold as leftovers, and not many people liked it.
However, Zhao Zhan found that she liked it very much, especially the tender ribs. She would eat more every time, and the irregular ribs at the ends of the ribs would usually be left for him to eat.
In addition to the steamed pork ribs, Zhao Zhan also fried a plate of vegetables and steamed an egg for her.
He wrung out a hot towel from the basin and came over to help Yue Jiaojiao wipe her fingers clean. Then, he handed her a pair of chopsticks. “Try it. If you like it, I’ll make it for you more often in the future.”
Yue Jiaojiao picked up a piece of pork rib.
The ribs were soft and mushy, so she didn’t need to chew them at all. The powder on the outside was very thin, but it complemented the taste perfectly.
Especially since Zhao Zhan knew that she liked spicy food, he had added a little chili powder to the noodles.
Just by looking at her expression, Zhao Zhan’s heart was filled with satisfaction.
Sometimes, he would even thank his second aunt for forcing him to cook. Otherwise, how could he be able to keep up with his lover’s palette?
“Jiaojiao, I want to go to Huai County tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? It’s getting cold. I’ll go to Huai County to buy you some winter clothes.
“The fabric used for ready-made clothes in town is not fine enough. I’m worried that it might hurt you. Huai County should have better fine cotton.”
