Chapter 1137

Just as Sun Physician turned off the loudspeaker, Liu Guilan said to Wang Dazhu:

"Dazhu, do we need to dry our grain a bit more?"

Wang Dazhu looked at the thin layer of snow on the ground and said:

"Drying will have to wait until tomorrow. It’s definitely not possible to dry it today. Let’s see what the weather is like tomorrow."

Liu Guilan nodded:

"Yeah, we have to toss every autumn, just afraid that the grain will be returned for being unqualified."

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, Wang An thought for a moment and said:

"If you ask me, the grain might as well be put directly under the floor of those few idle rooms. If all those idle rooms of ours are added together, that space is quite large."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Wang Dazhu and his wife and Mu Xueqing looked at Wang An together, which made Wang An feel a bit creepy, so he subconsciously asked:

"Why are you looking at me like that? Our floor is warm, almost like a kang. No matter how wet the grain is, it can be dried on the floor."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Dazhu slapped his thigh and said happily:

"That’s right, our house has a ground fire dragon. Just day after day, why didn't I think that we could dry the grain on the floor?"

As he spoke, Wang Dazhu put down the strainer in his hand and was about to run to the warehouse.

It’s just that Wang Dazhu only ran two steps when he heard Liu Guilan shout:

"The public grain delivery won't start for several days, what’s the rush? The washed wheat has to be processed tomorrow. I was thinking of drying it on the floor."

Hearing this, Wang Dazhu turned back, and Liu Guilan couldn't help but smile and scold Wang Dazhu:

"You are in your 40s, hairy and impulsive day after day, not deep at all. Can't you be steady?"

Wang Dazhu rolled his eyes at Liu Guilan and said irritably:

"Whatever you say, one moment drying public grain, one moment drying wheat, you’ve got me confused."

Just like this, the couple started bickering.

And Wang An and his wife and Huang Li and her brother lowered their heads and held back their laughter, and when they couldn't hold it anymore, they shrugged their shoulders a few times.

On the musk deer’s body, besides the scent pouch being valuable, its fur is also valuable. Although it’s not worth too much, ten or twenty yuan is no problem.

So when Wang An was skinning the musk deer, he was very careful.

At the same time, Huang Zhong was practicing skinning rabbits. Although his technique was not skillful at all, the rabbit skin wasn't ruined.

Of course, it wouldn't matter if it was ruined, because rabbit skin in this season is not valuable. Rabbit skin in the dead of winter is 1 yuan a piece, but no one collects rabbit skin in this season.

Amidst the busyness, 3,000 jin of wheat was washed by Wang Dazhu and the three. After draining the water, it was spread out in various rooms.

The reason for saying various rooms is that 3,000 jin of wheat is really too much, so even the rooms where people live, including the kang and the floor, as well as the kang in the old house, were covered with wheat.

Moreover, the stoves in each room were stuffed with wood and started to heat the kang.

There was no other way; it had to be processed tomorrow. If the wheat wasn't dry, the flour processed would be very easy to mold and deteriorate.

It must be said that Wang An’s house tonight must consume quite a lot of wood.

After cleaning up the musk deer, Wang An cut the whole musk deer into small pieces and stewed them in the pot, including the musk deer’s heart, liver, and lungs, which were all thrown into the pot.

Wang An found that many things are delicious just by being stewed simply, without needing very complicated cooking methods.

As for the rabbits and wild chickens, they were not put into the pot tonight. The main thing was that they couldn't eat that much meat, and the more they made, the more they would have left over.

After everyone finished their work, the musk deer meat was out of the pot, and Wang An’s family and Huang Li and her brother enjoyed today’s unexpected harvest.

It must be said that this musk deer meat is quite delicious, more tender than venison and better than roe deer meat. The whole family praised it endlessly.

After the adults praised the musk deer meat, Wang Xiaoli held a musk deer leg in her hand, chewing meat in her mouth, and said to Wang An solemnly but unclearly:

"Big Brother, you wait for musk deer in the future, I love eating it."

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this, frowned and thought for a moment before understanding that Wang Xiaoli’s tongue was not fully healed, and she said "wait for musk deer" instead of "get musk deer."

Wang An couldn't help but rub Wang Xiaoli’s head, learned Wang Xiaoli’s way of speaking, and said with a smile:

"Hahaha, okay, in the future, Big Brother will 'wait for musk deer' more, just waiting for the musk deer to jump into our pot... hahahaha."

Don't say, Wang An learned it quite well, and everyone was amused by Wang An’s words and burst into laughter.

At night, Wang An swept the wheat on the floor to one side, pushed the wheat on the kang to the head of the kang, and after laying out the bedding, let Mu Xueqing enter the room.

The main thing is that wheat grains are very hard, and they are especially easy to make people slip when stepped on by people on the brick floor, and Mu Xueqing has a big belly and her legs and feet are not very flexible. It would be a big trouble if she fell.

Mu Xueqing saw that Wang An was so thoughtful and said with a smile:

"Not bad, you know how to cherish your wife."

When Wang An heard this, he feigned anger:

"I don't like hearing this. When have I not cherished my wife? Who in the whole Kaoshan Village doesn't know that I cherish my wife the most?"

Mu Xueqing’s smile became even stronger, following Wang An’s words:

"Yeah, yeah, my man cherishes his wife the most, cherishing several wives one by one, not missing any... giggling..."

After speaking, Mu Xueqing looked at Wang An with a smile, but it could be seen that Mu Xueqing was not angry or jealous.

However, even so, Wang An’s expression immediately stiffened, and he smiled awkwardly:

"What are you saying? I only have one wife, where would I have so many?"

It must be admitted that Wang An indeed only has one wife. As for other women, although there is a husband-and-wife relationship, they cannot be called wives.

Mu Xueqing glanced at Wang An with her eyelids, then reached out, counted her fingers, and said with a smile:

"Sister Shen Wei, Lu Yuyue, Fang Xiue, and Sun Nian..."

Before Mu Xueqing could finish, Wang An hugged Mu Xueqing and started kissing, directly blocking Mu Xueqing’s words.

Mu Xueqing resisted at first, but soon responded.

To tell the truth, Wang An’s heart was actually a bit panicked. The main thing was that the affair was spoken out by his wife like counting family treasures. Who wouldn't panic?

In the morning, when Wang An and Huang Zhong finished practicing martial arts, Wang Dazhu and his wife had already poured the dried wheat back into the sack and loaded it into the four-wheeled vehicle, and Huang Li had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Wang An cranked the four-wheeled vehicle and headed straight for the county.
