Upon hearing Su Binglan’s words, Luo Jin’an knew she and the others had found something good in Black Mountain Forest.
‘This girl is like a treasure trove. She can find treasures anywhere. She can make something ordinary into something extraordinary. Also, my wife can see other things when others can’t.’
‘She was the one who discovered vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peppers.’
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an with a burning gaze, and the latter could feel how happy she was at that moment. The young couple was sharing their happiness.
Luo Jin’an looked forward to knowing what his wife had found in the mountain. “Oh, what treasures did you find?”
Su Binglan could find many things when she went to the back of the mountain in Su Teng Village. After all, she was the one who had discovered soybeans. Of course, the villagers might have found them before, but no one knew what they were.
They did not even know they could eat soybeans, let alone use them to make tofu. However, Su Binglan knew how to make tofu with soybeans and made other famous products. Tofu could also keep many people fed.
Many people also worked at the tofu factory, receiving monthly salaries and bonuses. Then the workers could use their earnings to improve their family’s lives. Luo Jin’an knew how grateful everyone was to his wife.
Su Binglan gently shook her husband’s arm, saying, “Well, guess! Just a rough guess will do.”
Luo Jin’an was always good-tempered when facing his wife. He looked at her dotingly and said, “Was it a wild animal? Something to eat?”
Su Binglan blinked at him in surprise. “Ah, you guessed it correctly!”
“It wasn’t a hard guess. You could always find something edible in Su Teng Village’s mountain. Although there weren’t wild animals there, some exist here. That’s why I know you should have found something after going to Black Mountain Forest for an entire afternoon.’
The wild animals could do nothing against Su Binglan, so she brought them back.
Su Binglan’s eyes were bright like the moonlight as she listened to Luo Jin’an’s analysis. They were crystal-clear as she smiled sweetly. “So, if you knew about that, why were you still worried about me?”
Luo Jin’an’s heart softened when he heard his wife’s sweet voice. “Of course, 1 know, silly. Still, 1 can’t help but worry.”
He tried telling himself he should not worry, but it was a feeling that was hard to control.
“It’s cold outside, but you were standing at the door instead of staying inside.” Su Binglan was worried her husband would catch a cold. She pulled Luo Jin’an into the wooden house as she spoke.
Immediately after, she took his pulse and only felt relieved after confirming nothing was wrong with him. Then she told Luo Jin’an what she had discovered in Black Mountian Forest.
Luo Jinan smiled and listened attentively, remembering every word she said. When Su Binglan described her experiences, she would be so detailed and vivid that Luo Jin’an could feel like he was with her in the forest.
“I didn’t expect to find hawthorns. Those are good stuff. Now I can make you plenty of hawthorn slices, cakes, and even porridge. Hawthorns can help with digestion, so you don’t have to worry about your stomach hurting if you eat more.
“l also brought a bison back to raise it for its milk. We can use the milk to make delicious desserts.” Su Binglan excitedly described these things to her husband.
Luo Jin’an’s eyes revealed anticipation as he said gently, ‘Yes, everything you make is delicious.’
He missed his home after staying at the border for so long. He considered Su Teng Village his home because the person he cared about most lived there. He also missed her delicacies.
Luo Jin’an’s heart felt warm now that he could eat his wife’s cooking again. Whenever he ate the food she made at the border, he felt like he had returned to his home.
Su Binglan happily leaned over and whispered, “Yes, I like cooking delicious food for you.”
Those were her heartfelt words. Her breath brushed passed Luo Jin’an’s ears like a feather as she spoke, brushing past him and tugging at his heartstrings. Luo Jin’an’s heart pounded, and his body tensed up.
Su Binglan had not realized this yet and still shared her experiences in Black Mountain Forest.
Not long after, Wei Chengs excited voice sounded outside, “Master, Master! Lin Zheng and the others returned with a wild boar and bison! They also have so many hawthorns!
His voice was booming. Afterward, he and Wei Ying quickly went to Lin Zheng and the others to help them.
Lin Zheng, Blue Two, and Blue Three only put down their harvests after
entering the courtyard. Lin Zheng massaged his shoulders and said, “These things are hefty!’
Although that was what he said, he still smiled brightly. He felt accomplished and rewarded for going to the mountain. Moreover, he could not stop thinking about the upcoming sumptuous dinner when he looked at the massive boar.
He did not feel tired and briskly walked when he thought about that.
Since Blue Two and Blue Three were Shadow Guards, they typically did not show expressions. However, if one observed them, one could see how thrilled they were. They also showed a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
Even Wei Yings eyes lit up when he saw the trio bringing in many things. That was because he knew how delicious Su Binglan’s cooking was. She could even make wild vegetables tasty, not to mention boar and hawthorns.
Wei Ying wondered what Su Binglan would do with the pork, beef, and hawthorn. He felt the food she made was different from others as he had been eating well these past few days.
Having daily meals could make one full and also make one crave more.
Meanwhile, Wei Chuan and Wei Shi, standing guard at the door, also rushed forward to help. Everyone looked like they were working together.
Wei Cheng was amazed when he looked at the boar and bison. “Is that a bison and a massive wild boar?
Lin Zheng said, “Yes, my master hunted them. Look at the boar’s fur that’s still intact. That bison is still alive. Master is amazing. She wants to raise the bison for its milk and says she can use it to make plenty of delicious food.
“Oh, those are hawthorns. Master said she could use them to make hawthorn slices, cakes, porridge, and candied hawthorns.” Lin Zheng looked proud whenever he mentioned his master.
Everyone felt like they were about to start drooling when they heard Lin Zheng speak about food.
Lin Zheng thought of something and said, “Oh, right. Master said we would make dumplings tonight with many fillings, including ones made with hawthorns..
