The village where the original owner lived was called Linjia Village, and it was the poorest village among the eighteen villages in Jiuzhou Town.
Although there are mountains and water, except for some bamboo shoots and wild vegetables, there are not even small animals in the mountains, let alone the creek where fish and shrimps are rarely seen.
Lin Xiao walked around the village with the five copper coins left at home, and exchanged them for half a bag of brown rice and a small piece of wild boar meat.
These are enough for a meal for two people.
It's time to think of ways to make money.
Based on the memory of the original owner, Lin Xiao had a general understanding of the Great Xia Dynasty in which she lived.
The culture, customs, etc. are very different from Lin Xiao's previous life.
It's just this history, the difference is really not that big.
There was no Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, there was no Wuhuhuahua, there was no Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was only one Daxia dynasty that had been passed down for thousands of years.
As for what dynasty preceded the Daxia Dynasty, the original owner had no memory of this at all.
Lin Xiao sighed, what kind of miracle would it be for a dynasty to last for thousands of years?
Closer to home, no matter which dynasty we live in, people's livelihood is the most important thing.
Lin Xiao is not worried about how to make a living in ancient times. Knowledge is power. She believes that with what she has learned, she will be able to create a world in the Great Xia Dynasty!
The original owner had been reading and literate since she was a child, and her body was extremely weak as her fingers never touched Yang Chun Shui.
By the time Lin Xiao used this body to carry half a bag of brown rice and a small piece of meat home, more than half an hour had passed, which was more than an hour in modern times.
Li Yuyan had already changed out of the wedding clothes given by the government, and was dressed neatly in a farmer's outfit.
At this moment, he was diligently cleaning the yard.
It can be seen that Li Yuyan, who is on the run, has suffered a lot in these years!
When he saw Lin Xiao coming back, he trotted up to meet her and took the rice bag.
"Why is there still meat?"
Only then did Lin Xiao realize that the bride she "married" not only looked like a man, but even had a similar figure!
She is estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall and has a strong build. If an uninformed person saw it, they would think that the bride was a man!
"If you don't eat meat, the taste will be half as bad. Besides, today is the first day you come to my house. You can't eat without meat, right?"
Hearing this, Li Yuyan was stunned.
A faint warmth emerged from the deepest part of his heart, and his eyes were sore and astringent.
"Um...you can cook, right? I'm really hungry."
In the 21st century, the only thing Lin Xiao knows how to make is instant noodles. After traveling to ancient times, she really doesn't know how to use the earthen stove correctly.
"Well, I'm going to cook. I'll be ready soon."
Li Yuyan quickly took the rice bag and meat to the kitchen and started making dinner.
Taking advantage of Li Yuyan's break in cooking, Lin Xiao got into the original owner's study.
The study room is simply decorated but still has the fragrance of ink.
Some unknown landscape paintings hang on the smooth walls.
Below the painting is a neat single bed.
There are pens, ink, paper, inkstones and several old textbooks on the rectangular desk.
On both sides of the desk are bookcases, which are also filled with various books.
I casually took out a book and opened it. I found that the poems and songs in it had no charm at all, and were not even as good as limericks that were popular in later generations.
"Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, don't their poems exist here?"
Lin Xiao, who did not believe in evil, looked through a few more books, and sure enough, there were no poems by those famous people.
Is it because people in the Daxia Dynasty don't like their poems or is it because of some other reason?
Just as Lin Xiao was lost in thought, Li Yuyan knocked on the study door:
"Master, the meal is ready."
Head of the house is the honorific title used by married women in the Great Xia Dynasty to their men.
Since they don't want to expose their identities, even if the two of them are not used to it, they can only accept it!
Lin Xiao responded awkwardly and walked out of the study.
On the dining table, there was a clay pot that looked like cooking medicine, filled with a gray-black sticky substance.
"This is……"
"Brown rice and meat porridge."
"Is that all the brown rice and wild boar I gave you?"
Lin Xiao suddenly lost her appetite.
"If we make brown rice and fried pork slices, we can only eat one meal. If we make brown rice and meat porridge, we can eat at least three meals."
Li Yuyan's tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard.
But in Lin Xiao's view, her "bride" was using practical actions to express her dissatisfaction.
"Alas! Marrying me will be a pain for you!"
Lin Xiao sighed. No matter how he said it, he was always sorry for Li Yuyan (Li Yuyan).
Not to mention how poor she is, just talking about her identity as a woman disguised as a man is a fatal truth for a newlywed!
If you can't think about it, Lin Xiaoke will really become a sinner!
She put the shredded pork in her bowl into Li Yuyan's bowl with a guilty feeling:
"Eat more meat to replenish your body."
Li Yuyan was stunned as he watched Lin Xiao keep putting shredded pork in his bowl.
Originally, when his "mother's family" was relatively wealthy, he could have one or two bites of this meat during New Years and holidays.
But since he did not get married in the past few years because of his reputation as the "Black Widow", in order to pay more taxes, his "natal family" has long been hollowed out, let alone meat, not even the oily flowers can be seen!
Even if there is, his good "sister-in-law" will never let him see it at all.
But now, when he saw Lin Xiao giving him all the little meat, he couldn't help but soften a little.
Lin Xiao was perhaps the first outsider in the world, besides his father and mother, to treat him sincerely and well.
"You eat too, don't give it all to me. Look how thin you are."
Li Yuyan put the shredded meat back again.
The two of them had a rather cozy dinner under the flickering candlelight.
After dinner, Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao who was washing dishes in the kitchen, wondering whether to tell the truth.
If Lin Xiao is willing to help hide it, that's fine. If not, then he will have no choice but to solidify his reputation as a black widow again.
Thinking of this, Li Yuyan's eyes burst out with a biting chill.
After washing the dishes, Li Yuyan was about to speak when Lin Xiao spoke first:
"There are two rooms in the house. You sleep in one and I sleep in the other."
After hearing this, Li Yuyan suddenly raised his head, his beautiful eyes full of doubts and disbelief.
Why did Lin Xiao do this?
Did you see through his identity?
At this moment, Li Yuyan's mind was already thinking about what to do next.
His hand even touched the dagger on his waist.
"There is a cloud in the book, full and warm, thinking about sex. We haven't even solved the problem of food and clothing. How can we think about those messy things?"
Lin Xiao paused and continued:
"We have to find a way to make money first!"
As long as he doesn't have a wedding, Li Yuyan can accept it no matter what Lin Xiao's reasons are.
At least he doesn't have to add unnecessary blood to his hands.
If he were asked to kill Lin Xiao now, he would really be reluctant to do so.
"Okay, it's been a tiring day, let's go to bed early!"
I've been feeling inexplicably irritable recently. Some people say it's because the Hungry Ghost Festival is approaching, so my dear little ones, try your best not to go out at night!
