Seeing the rabbit being roasted so badly that it looked unrecognizable, Tang Yue could not bear to watch any longer. He asked the old man for a knife and took his own fish to the river to settle it.

Behind him, the grandpa exhorted anxiously, "Husband, the fish doesn't taste good. It's spicy and tasteless, and also very fishy."

Tang Yue waved his hand without turning his head, preparing to use his culinary arts to shock this ancient man.

He shaved off the fish's belly and washed it clean. Then he found a clean branch and tied it to a string. When he saw some wild vegetables he had eaten before, he picked some and washed them before putting them into the fish belly. Only then did he carry the fish back to the temple.

"What's your name, old man?" This was the first time Tang Yue was communicating normally with someone in the past month.

The grandpa was a bit nervous, so he handed the rabbit meat over and replied in a restrained manner, "I call upon the mountain."

The first time they met, he saw the picture on the side of the old man's face. Initially, he thought it was a scar, but now it looked like a "mountain" character.

Thanks to the ancestors of China, he was able to make out one or two simple words because of his image when he created them.

Could it be that he had come to a slave society? He remembered that only slaves had the habit of stabbing words into their faces. If that was really the case, Tang Yue should be glad that he did not wear it on a slave.

After all, he had been a doctor for more than ten years. If he could get some useful information from the patient, it would also be a form of knowledge. Some patients were resistant to doctors and didn't want to say much.

Tang Yue asked about the situation at home and also asked about his own situation. The other party did not have any wariness towards him, so he told him everything that he knew.

Unfortunately, he didn't know much, Tang Yue only asked that the body's father was Yueyang Marquis, and that his surname was also Tang. He had seven daughters, and the eldest daughter was already engaged to Noble Heir of State Duke Heng.

The owner's mother's surname was Zhao and she came from a large family, but unfortunately, because she couldn't give birth to her son, her status at home wasn't high.

Tang Yue guessed: It must be because his original body's father couldn't give birth to his son, that he thought of ways to bring his illegitimate son back home to inherit the Joss Flame.

In this era, there must be a lot of importance attached to the reproduction of children.

Tang Yue rejected the charred rabbit. He placed the fish on the fire and roasted it, turning it over from time to time, waiting for the skin to become a little crispy, then used a knife to cut a few holes and smeared some coarse salt on it.

Unfortunately, other than the salt, they had no other seasonings, so they could only eat the original grain.

Shan looked at Tang Yue curiously and pitifully. In his eyes, only men with lowly statuses would be able to cook, so the young masters of the various families would view the chef as a ferocious beast.

"Alright, I'll split half with you." Tang Yue cut the fish in half and gave the piece of fish to the mountain with his tail, "Today, we will eat some. Tomorrow, we can walk and look for ingredients."

"No no, how can I eat food cooked by my husband?" When he compared the roasted fish in Tang Yue's hand with its perfect shape, the hand that was holding the roasted meat on the mountain was shaking, and his face was extremely hot.

"Take it. I exchanged this with you. Cut the rabbit's leg into pieces and give it to me." Tang Yue's fierce face made Shan unable to refute him.

Previously, he felt that this youth's face was similar to the Patriarch's, but it did not have the Patriarch's dignity. So it turned out that he was just concealing his strength.

Shan took a bite of the fish with little hope. Even if the fish was hard to eat, he had to eat it all. This was an affirmation to his master.

"Eh …" With a mouthful of fish in his mouth, Shan was surprised to find that it wasn't hard to eat. The skin was crisp and fragrant, while the fish was smooth and tender.

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

The two of them separately ate a fish and a rabbit. Tang Yue barely ate his fill.

Shan seemed to notice that he was fed up, so he kindly said, "Husband, tomorrow we will go to a nearby village. This servant will go and buy some dry rations to eat."

They rarely bought food along the way, and all of them were done with their meals in the wild. Tang Yue thought that it was because the weather was hot and the cooked food was not for long.

He had discovered long ago that he was a pauper and that he did not even have a single copper coin on him. Now that he thought about it, perhaps he was not the only one who was poor.

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

Shan Yue quickly took out the money pouch from her inside pocket and handed it over to Tang Yue, then said with her head lowered: "This trip, I gave the main family quite a bit of money, but Lang Jun was sick, I invited the doctors to spend most of it. Now, this is all I have left."

Tang Yue could feel his awkwardness, he took the money pouch and looked inside, and saw that it was only five blade coins.

When he first woke up, he was indeed drinking medicine. He even met an old and arrogant doctor who casually opened up his pulse. He drank an ordinary firewood tea with ginger and charged them a lot of money.

Tang Yue didn't know if this era's medicine recipe was that simple or was fooled by the old man. He inquired about the prices here and discovered that five blade coins were equivalent to five hundred yuan.

He rubbed his face, returned the money to the mountain, told him to keep it, and went to the river to wash his hands.

Tang Yue sat by the river to mourn over his house, his car and ticket, and once again recalled the handsome face of his little boyfriend. Tang Yue thought about how he was now a pauper who was half illiterate, let out a sigh, and returned to the Earth Temple with a heavy body.

The mountain had already been fed to the cows and a lot of dry wood had been collected. After doing all this, they fell asleep. In ancient times, there were no recreational activities, and the night was exceptionally long.
