After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 23

"What did I say? I still have salt on my hands, don't cause trouble," Luo Ge said decisively, pretending to be confused and leaving quickly, her little hand subconsciously touching her slender waist as she saw the increasingly dangerous look in the man's eyes.

Gu Jinchen watched his petite and delicate wife running away, his smile full of indulgence.

Whether she pretended to be confused or not, he had already taken note of it in his heart.

After taking care of one of the two pheasants first today, Gu Jinchen swiftly bled and plucked it within three or two moves, chopping it into pieces.

Luo Ge went straight to the kitchen to cook. The taste of fresh chili peppers is different from that of dried ones. Luo Ge felt that the fresh chili peppers tasted more fragrant than the dried ones.

However, it was miserable for the two little ones whose eyes were brought to tears by the spiciness. They refused to go out when asked to, so there was no other way.

Before adding chili peppers, she had set aside a portion for the two little ones.

"So delicious."

"Er Bao is so full."

The two little ones touched their little bellies and murmured after eating their fill.

"Take a rest first, then go wash up later. Do you want to bathe together or separately?" Gu Jinchen and Luo Ge were washing the pickled lychees when they heard the murmurs and asked.

The two little ones looked at each other, "Little uncle, Dabao (Erbao) wants to bathe separately."

"Alright, I'll carry water for you to the partition. You can wash yourselves today." The little brats were growing up gradually, they had to slowly get them to do things themselves.

Whenever the little ones took a bath, they had to avoid Luo Ge. Luo Ge could only stay cooped up in the kitchen or room. Hence, Gu Jinchen simply built a partition with wooden boards beside the courtyard wall.

"Okay."

After cleaning, the pickled lychees were marinated with sugar. They would be marinated for about an hour before using a winnowing basket lined with gauze to dry the moisture.

"That's it for today. There's not enough sugar at home. I'll go buy more from town tomorrow."

They would need to steam it again after it had dried somewhat tomorrow. More sugar and honey would be added then, so using less today would not affect anything.

"Alright, do you want me to accompany you?" Hearing that, Gu Jinchen nodded slightly and asked in a low voice.

"I know the way, I can go by myself. Aren't you busy with the field of glutinous millet?" After resting for a while, it was time for the farming season again.

They still had two to three acres of land waiting to be planted with glutinous millet. It was time to plant glutinous millet now. Looks like they would be busy again for a period of time.

"Then be careful on your own." Hearing that, Gu Jinchen didn't say much more, only glancing at her one more time when her little fingers unconsciously stirred.

"Mm."

After preparing the dried fruits, Luo Ge went to wash up too. Gu Jinchen came back from the outside with a body full of water vapor after she had just finished washing.

"Wash at home from now on. Washing with cold water all the time is not good for your health." Knowing that he was back from washing at the riverside, Luo Ge couldn't help but frown and say.

The wife was showing concern for him. Gu Jinchen felt warm in his heart. He took the red sugar egg from his hand and placed it on the table, then went forward to take the towel from her hands and hug her into his arms.

"Wife is right. Let me wipe you. Why didn't you use it when those two little brats did?" He said while carefully wiping her hair.

Hearing that, Luo Ge turned her head slightly to look at the red sugar syrup egg on the table, "I've eaten mine. This is left for you."

Left for him? Isn't this something for nourishing women and girls? What would he, a grown man, eat this for?

"Hurry and eat it before it gets cold and doesn't taste good anymore."

Luo Ge said it very casually, but it sounded more like urging 'your health is not good, hurry and eat some nourishing food' to the overthinking man.

His handsome face stiffened slightly, and his eyes darkened a little.

"I don't like sweet food." He replied dryly.

Luo Ge looked up slightly, "Is that so?"

"Mm."

Well, since that's the case, she could only take advantage of it herself.

By the time her hair was almost dry, she had used the bowl and was about to put it down when Gu Jinchen kissed her before she could react.

The sweet, sugar-coated lips tasted very sweet. It turned out that he did like sweet food, but this 'food' had to be categorized.

... In the end, dazed by the kisses, all that was left in her mind was a sentence.

'A momentary escape, but a lifetime of marriage.' She had pretended to be muddled and escaped earlier, but would still be ravaged thoroughly at night.

He was proving with his actions that he did not really need these things to nourish him.

...The next day.

Her body ached badly and she felt extremely tired. But urged by her strong biological clock, she still managed to rush to town to sell the eggs before Zhao Daming and Zhao Ermin left town.

Three hundred eggs were exchanged for 600 wen.

"Ow!" Holding the money pouch, Luo Ge rubbed her sore waist and gasped.

The old adage was indeed true, a new groom was extremely ravenous!

On her way back, she found a safe place to flash into her space.

The first thing she did after entering was to find well water to drink, then she went to her little study to rummage around.

In order to be a food blogger, she had found a lot of recipes for cooking and information on traditional cuisine, various foods, etc.

She basically had all kinds of food information. She remembered that she had also bought a book explaining how to make preserved eggs.

She had tried giving Zhao Daming and the others a few hundred eggs, but any more would be too much for them to finish. Plus she had a lot of duck eggs accumulated in her space too. She still had to find more outlets.

Although making preserved eggs was quite time-consuming, she could utilize the time difference in her space and need not worry.

"Aha, this is the book." After rummaging for a long time, she finally found it and couldn't help showing joy on her face. She read the contents of the book carefully before putting the book aside.

Then she turned and went to the kitchen again to look for white sugar, old rock sugar, honey, salt and other things, changing them into cans and bags to put in her back basket.

She had tried it before. The private household items in her small courtyard in the space would automatically replenish when used up, but they could not be taken out to sell.

Rice, flour, salt and other things were all unavailable. They could only be for her own household use.

But she was already very satisfied with this. If there were too many loopholes, life would lose its meaning of striving.

Moreover, she also roughly understood the rationale behind this space setting. Apart from the rice, flour, oil, salt, grains, farm, chickens, ducks, fruit trees, etc.,

Most of the other things in her space were thousands of years more advanced than this era. If all these things could also be endlessly replenished for her to take out and sell,

It would disrupt the original progression of this world.

Every world had its own original trajectory that it should follow. It should not be arbitrarily disrupted.

So she could understand why the generator in her farm could not be used, the things in her yard could not be sold.

She was not that greedy anyway.
