79 Chapter 79: Hubby Was Too Delicate

“Okay!” Big Girl Li replied with determination.

After Qin Xiaoyao consoled her, she took the bamboo rat back to the Liu family’s house.

Great! They could eat meat again!

Qin Xiaoyao returned to the Song family’s house and entered the kitchen.

!!
Then, she personally took charge of the kitchen to cook bamboo rat meat to eat.

When the mother and children trio saw the bamboo rat meat, their earlier fear and rejection disappeared. Instead, they began to crave it.

After all, that meat looked really good.

They all stopped what they were doing and went into the kitchen to help.

When the bamboo rat meat was served on the table, and the three of them ate it, the remaining fear in their hearts towards the bamboo rat vanished completely.

All that was left was unanimous praise, followed by happy feasting.

“Sister-in-law, is this really the meat of the bamboo rat? Why do I feel it’s even more delicious than the wild hare meat we had before?” Song Yun couldn’t help asking.

“That’s right! It’s even more delicious than pheasant meat!” Song Ye added.

“I’m afraid even pork can’t compare!” Madam Liu also smiled and added.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the trio’s expressions and smiled. “Of course it’s bamboo rat meat.”

“If you guys like it, take some more. There are many bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. I’ll go and hunt for some more at night.”

The eyes of the two little ones lit up.

However, Madam Liu said, “These are enough. It’s good enough to just have a taste!”

“This is such good meat. Tomorrow you should send some to the in-laws. After that, send some to Fortune Mansion and ask them if they want it. ”

Tomorrow, her daughter-in-law was going back to her parents’ house to pay off her debts, so with the bamboo rat meat, she would not have to visit them empty-handed.

Furthermore, her eldest son’s injuries had not fully recovered, and there would be a lot of expenses involved for his oral medicine and wound dressing.

The daughter-in-law also wanted to build the house at the beginning of autumn. By then, the family would need to spend money on many areas.

Qin Xiaoyao paused for a while.

Then she agreed with Madam Liu, “Okay!”

Initially, she also wanted to give some bamboo rat meat to her father and two brothers, and then sell some to Fortune Mansion for money.

After all, her attractive husband wanted to buy a house in town…

In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li went into the mountains early.

After heading straight for the bamboo forest, they began to get busy.

As it was still early, Qin Xiaoyao started digging for bamboo shoots with Big Girl Li.

She waited until the sky was getting dark, and the bamboo rats began to come out and become active before she began to hunt.

The stones she shot out were extremely accurate, rarely missing.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t stop until she had killed more than ten bamboo rats.

“Alright. If we don’t go now, the sky will turn dark and it will be difficult to walk on the paths.” Qin Xiaoyao kept the prey and walked back to Big Girl Li’s side.

“Alright!” Big Girl Li quickly answered.

Together with Qin Xiaoyao, they walked back with their backpacks and their carrying poles full of mountain goods.

They had really gained a lot from this afternoon’s trip.

In addition to the two backpacks they were carrying and the two baskets of bamboo shoots Qin Xiaoyao was carrying right now, Qin Xiaoyao had already made one trip back earlier with a full backpack and baskets on a carrying pole.

In addition to these, there was also the harvest of bamboo rats!

“I wonder how much Fortune Mansion will pay for the bamboo shoots and bamboo rats?” Big Girl Li, who was walking in front, asked with some anticipation.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled. “We’ll know when we ask them tomorrow.”

“Oh, yes. We don’t have to rush to harvest the whole bamboo forest.”

“Even if Fortune Mansion accepts our goods, there’s a limit to how much they can take in at a time.”

“After that, we’ll go by their required quantity. We’ll dig up some bamboo shoots and kill bamboo rats each time to earn more money for the next few days.”

Just like the Chinese Toon shoots, the bamboo forest was a new plot of treasure land.

Of course, by her estimation, the bamboo forest could not support them for as long as the Chinese Toon trees in terms of making money.

After all, the speed at which they dug out the bamboo shoots would definitely be faster than the speed at which they grew back.

Also, the rate of reproduction of the bamboo rats was far below the speed at which she could hunt them.

Therefore, after a period of time, when the supply of bamboo shoots and bamboo rats were almost exhausted by them, they would have to give time for this place to rest and recuperate.

“Alright. I’ll listen to Sister Sanya!” Big Girl Li quickly replied.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face was filled with joy.

Now that she had found so many treasures in the mountains, she wasn’t that keen on expanding her business as a middleman anymore.

Back at the Song family’s house, Qin Xiaoyao brought Big Girl Li to the stream to process the bamboo rat meat.

The external appearance of the bamboo rat could indeed cause misunderstandings easily. After some hesitation, the two decided to sell the processed meat directly the next day.

When Fortune Mansion asked them for details, they would simply say that it was some small wild game from the mountains and it tasted great. They were confident that it would sell.

In addition, Qin Xiaoyao could bring along the bamboo rat skins and might be able to sell them for money.

The two of them wanted to make some money from the bamboo rat skins as well.

After processing the bamboo rat meat, the two of them managed to get a small wooden bucket full of meat.

Qin Xiaoyao proposed to take some of it back to her parents’ house.

In the end, Big Girl Li also mentioned that she wanted to take one to send back for her parents to try.

And so, Qin Xiaoyao simply apportioned some more for herself, which was exactly four times what Big Girl Li had.

“Alright, after dividing up the meat, you have about 20%. We won’t split any more money tomorrow,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

“Deal!” Big Girl Li’s heart felt very sweet all over.

Then, she helped to weigh and pack the bamboo shoots that were to be brought to town the next day.

After that, she walked home with light, cheerful steps.

At nightfall.

That night, Song Que didn’t ask Qin Xiaoyao to continue telling him the tale of ‘Journey to the West.’ Instead, he asked her about the bamboo rat.

“Did we really eat rat meat today?”

He didn’t know it was rat meat before he ate it. He thought it tasted good and ate a lot.

However, when Yun’er came to clean up the dishes, she told him that it was rat meat, causing him to feel nauseated for the entire afternoon.

Rats were the sort of disgusting animal that would eat anything. They would even eat…

Whenever he thought of those scenes, he wanted to vomit out all the food in his stomach.

Qin Xiaoyao was shocked.

She could hear the displeasure in her attractive husband’s tone.

“Ahem. They are not the kind of rat you’re thinking of. It’s a bamboo rat.”

Hearing Qin Xiaoyao’s affirmative answer, the man behind her immediately made some puking noises.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly turned over and tried to help Song Que up.

“Are you alright?”

However, Song Que pushed her away.

In the dark night, the man once more looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a familiar look of disgust.

Qin Xiaoyao froze on the spot and didn’t dare to go forward again.

Then, after a while, the man finally calmed down and sat up.

Immediately, he said in a stern voice, “Next time, you’re not allowed to cook that meat again!”

(Author: Sigh! His predecessor had seen rats eating corpses in his previous life. How could he not feel disgusted?)

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned again.

“Sigh! It’s really not the kind of rat you think it is…”

Puke! The man looked like he was about to vomit again, and Qin Xiaoyao was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth.

“Alright, alright. We won’t cook those bamboo… that dish anymore.” Qin Xiaoyao’s face was filled with panic as she hurriedly reassured him.

Her husband was too delicate. Fortunately, this was the ancient times and not the apocalypse… Otherwise, she was not sure if she could feed him and keep him alive.

Bamboo rats were such a delectable delicacy… It was a pity that she wouldn’t be able to eat them in the future.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was filled with the feeling of self-pity for herself due to the sacrifice she made for the person she loved.

Upon hearing this, Song Que’s expression finally became less contorted.

He sat down and adjusted his mood before lying down.

“Let’s continue with the story,” he said.

He had to listen to the story to distract himself from the feeling of disgust.
