Chapter 69

The tender sprouts that had just emerged were not hard to pluck. It didn't take long for them to finish weeding the wheat field.

As for the field, they would deal with it tomorrow.

Ming was bringing some fertilizer over to spread in the wheat field and the plot, as their two plots of land were not very fertile.

They had to add some fertilizer, or the crops wouldn't grow well.

"Besides flatbread, is there anything else you'd like for dinner? It's still early, or should I go catch a couple of rabbits?"

After tidying up and dusting off his hands, Gu Jinchen looked at Luo Ge and spoke.

It had been a while since he'd brought back any wild game, and he thought he might go look, since there was still time.

Of all the wild game he had caught before, Luo Ge's favorite was rabbit.

Hearing this, Luo Ge shook her head repeatedly: "No rabbits."

She had heard that if a pregnant woman eats rabbit, the baby might be born with a cleft lip. She couldn't eat it.

She didn't know if there was any scientific basis for this, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Rubbing her belly unconsciously, she said, "How about a wild chicken? You can roast it for us to eat."

Knowing her husband's capabilities, she didn't hesitate to order.

"Sure, wait for me. I'll be back soon."

When he went to collect honey, he saw a wild chicken's nest with a few eggs left in it, but he was busy with the honey at the time and didn't pay attention to it.

Now the wild chicken should be coming back to the nest, perfect timing.

"Okay." Luo Ge nodded obediently, hugging the basket.

There were familiar faces working in the neighboring field, so she would wait here without any issues.

"Luo Ge!" Just as she was waiting, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from behind.

"Wang Sister-In-Law." Turning around, Luo Ge smiled and greeted her.

"Eh, you've finished your work but haven't gone home yet?"

Wang Sister-In-Law had just finished working in the field and walked towards Luo Ge while dusting off the soil from her clothes.

"No, he went up the mountain. I'm waiting for him here."

"Then I'll sit with you and rest for a bit. My husband hasn't finished tidying up either."

Saying that, Wang Sister-In-Law found a spot nearby to sit and rest, taking a sip of water.

"Luo Ge, you were right. My little brat might actually be quite suited for studying."

Hearing Luo Ge's words, Wang Sister-In-Law also hurriedly smiled.

Being neighbors, the two young couples walked back together.

"You even brought back so many wild chicken eggs?"

When they got home and saw what Gu Jinchen had brought back, Luo Ge couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yeah, I took the whole nest."

He brought back both the chicken and the eggs.

"Pfft." This man was becoming more and more amusing with his words.

"Then you clean them up, and I'll knead the dough."

"Okay."

There was a charcoal brazier at home, perfect for roasting meat.

The chicken bodies would be skewered and roasted over it.

The wings, drumsticks, and other parts would be skewered and roasted separately.

She had cooking spices in her space and had already taken out a regular jar to store them.

"It would be great if we had eggplants and Chinese chives. And maybe some grilled oysters and small meat skewers."

The flatbread dough was already being prepared in the kitchen, brushed with honey and roasted. Luo Ge couldn't help but mutter.

Paired with some beer, it would be a delicious barbecue, with a fragrant aroma.

Hearing her words, Gu Jinchen looked up at her.

"We'll plant some next time."

He had seen the seeds for those two vegetables in her space, but they weren't planted in their vegetable patch.

"I'll be right back."

Saying that, he went out and bought a lean piece of pork belly from the village butcher, cutting it into small cubes and skewering them, just like she had described.

"Can this be roasted too?" He handed the skewered meat to her and asked.

Luo Ge's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

"This will be delicious when roasted." Roasted pork belly, with a fragrant aroma.

She hadn't even thought of that.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Jinchen smiled.

"Then it's settled." As long as she liked it, it was fine.
