Chu Heng heard her voice and quickly turned to look at her. “What’s wrong?”
“No, I’m fine.” Ye Muyu blushed. Luckily, it was night, and he could not see clearly. She felt relieved and lowered her voice. “Go to sleep. I’m going to sleep too. I’ll wake up early tomorrow.”
Chu Heng hummed in a low voice, but his eyes were wide open, unable to fall asleep.
Slowly, he did not know how much time had passed. He heard the sound of even breathing beside him. Chu Heng tilted his head to look at Ye Muyu beside him. Under the moonlight, he saw that she had indeed fallen asleep.
A faint smile appeared in his eyes. He felt that even if she was just lying on the side, it was still really comfortable. Chu Heng soon fell asleep.
The next morning…
Chu Heng woke up very early. The sun had just risen. He fetched water from the well, washed up, and left the courtyard.
Ye Muyu woke up at the same time as usual.
The sky would brighten early in summer. If it was winter, it would probably not be bright yet.
Ye Muyu was not surprised that Chu Heng was not there. She put on her clothes, washed up, and did not forget to wipe her face with lipstick.
After sleeping for a night, the wound on the back of her hand had turned a faint dark purple. She pressed it gently and it still hurt slightly, but it was no longer swollen.
According to her past experience, there was no big problem as long as it did not hurt.
Ye Muyu went straight into the kitchen.
Madam Hu was making breakfast in the kitchen.
“Madam, you’re up? Breakfast has already been prepared. This servant plans to make cold bitter gourd slices, steamed egg soup, bean bacon buns, and stir-fried vegetables.”
“There is still some meat left at home. I bought it yesterday. This servant was thinking of asking you whether I should keep the meat to make smoked meat and preserve it for a longer time, or cook it today?” Madam Hu asked as she wrapped the buns, “Because Xingshui Village is close to the county, and there are often traveling merchants who come over, they passed down the preservation method of smoked meat and cured meat.”
“Speaking of which, smoked meat and cured meat are a little salty, so you don’t have to add salt when cooking. It’s also convenient.”
Hearing her question, Ye Muyu rubbed her forehead. She remembered that the village chief said that slaughtering would be banned for 49 days, which was about one and a half months.
In other words, for the next month and a half, there would be no more freshly slaughtered meat to eat at home.
Chu Heng had said that the provincial examination would not be affected. He would continue to take the examination. She had already thought about it before. She would bring him some cured meat so that he would not have to worry about it spoiling on the way. No matter what she cooked, she would put some in it. There was no need to put salt in it. Even soup could be made this way, so it would be much more convenient.
Of course, she could also prepare some meat sauce and eat it for a few days.
She had never thought of not using the meat.
Now, it had affected Chu Heng’s travel.
“Don’t cook it for me, and keep it for smoking. Chu Heng will need it when he leaves home.” Ye Muyu immediately made a decision.
As she spoke, she found Zhang Shu and gave him some money. She asked him to go to the village to ask if there was any fresh meat.
Zhang Shu took the money and went out.
“Madam, you don’t have to be busy. I’ll do it. You’re still injured.” Madam Hu turned around and saw Ye Muyu washing her hands and preparing to cut the bitter gourd.
Ye Muyu said, “It’s fine. My hand doesn’t hurt anymore. But Madam Hu, if your hand still hurts, you must apply medicine immediately. If there’s no medicine, we’ll make it ourselves.”
“You can make it yourself?” Madam Hu was a little surprised. The family was now using the ointment bought from the medicine shop.
Ye Muyu thought of the medicinal wine from her previous life, which was specially used to treat bruises..
