Nuan Nuan was sent back to his original position by the big bad wolf.
At this time, Wen Ran was already looking for her everywhere in the area. She was so anxious that she burst into tears and shouted loudly: "Third Sister! Third Sister! Where are you?"
Nuan Nuan immediately responded loudly: "Sister Ran, I'm here! The place where I just caught the pheasant!"
When Wen Ran heard this, she immediately turned around and ran back. As she ran, she shouted back: "Third sister, stay there and don't move. I'll be right back!"
Wen Nuan got off the wolf's back and said to the big bad wolf: "Go back! Don't scare my sister."
The big bad wolf nodded, turned around and ran away.
But it didn't leave, but was not far away, looking warm.
Although there are no ferocious beasts around here because of its presence, sometimes some stupid wild boars that are not afraid of death will break in.
Wen Ran ran back panting, her eyes were red, she had obviously cried, and there was a pheasant in her hand: "Third sister, where did you go? You scared me to death, I I thought you jumped off a cliff!”
Then she wouldn't be alive!
Nuan Nuan felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I also saw a pheasant and chased it to the foot of the mountain. It's not like I couldn't figure it out. Why did I jump off the cliff?"
Only then did Wen Ran realize that in addition to a hare, Wen Ran had an extra pheasant in his hand.
"You couldn't think about it before..." Wen Ran thought of something and immediately shut up, "Third sister, next time you see a pheasant, don't chase it. Let me know. If the pheasant runs into the mountains, then... Trouble!"
"I know, I just saw it running towards the bottom of the mountain, so I chased it. Sister Ran, don't worry, the third sister will not be stupid and commit suicide in the future. Now that my health is better, I want to let dad Mom and you will live a good life." Wen Nuan said solemnly.
She has to guarantee it, otherwise the family is always worried that she will commit suicide and what if Sister Ran is left to guard her!
Wen Ran looked at her, a little disbelieving: "You really won't be able to think about it anymore?"
"I swear!" Wen Nuan raised his hand.
Wen Ran immediately pulled her hand down: "What did the third sister swear? I believe it!"
Is it okay to swear randomly? She could have sworn she was eating wild vegetables!
"Okay, let's go home! It's getting late, otherwise grandma will be in trouble when she gets home!" Wen Nuan said.
"You know how miserable it is!" Wen Ran replied angrily.
Nuan Nuan touched his nose and said nothing.
So the two of them went down the mountain.
There is a small river at the foot of the mountain. The water is very clear and some small fish swim across it. This river is the river where the original owner committed suicide by jumping into it.
Nuan Nuan saw many snails in the river.
Only then did she realize that no one in this village would touch and eat snails.
Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed not long ago, it is the time when the snails are empty. There are no small snails in their bellies, and the meat is particularly plump.
Wen Nuan pulled Wen Ran and pointed to the snails in the river: "Sister Ran, let's take some snails back and fry them to eat."
"Snail? Are you talking about this snail?" Wen Ran looked disgusted, and she shook her head: "This thing is very dirty, full of mud! If you eat it, you will have diarrhea."
It’s not worth it to have to go to the hospital for diarrhea and spend money!
"Yes, it's a snail! I have a way to make it spit out the mud in its stomach. After the snail spits out the mud, it's delicious."
This thing is called differently in different places.
"How do you know?" Wen Ran looked at Wen Wen with suspicion.
The third sister said it as if she had eaten it before!
warmth:…
Can you please stop looking at her like this
Wen Nuan coughed and pretended to be mysterious: "Sister Ran, let me tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else! I fell into the water and was unconscious for a few days. At that time, I had a long dream about many people. , the people there know a lot of things. I learned a lot in my dream and had many ways to make money. Among them, there are people who speculate in snails and sell snail noodles to make money. I don’t know if this dream is true, so I want to try it. . If it is true, then we will soon be able to make a lot of money and live a good life."
"Everything in the dream is fake." Wen Ran almost rolled her eyes, she thought it was some secret!
Isn’t it just a dream!
"I think it's true, very true! I want to try it. If it's false, forget it, but what if it's true? Then our family can make a lot of money, build a big house, buy land, and open a business. Shop, and the eldest brother and the others can go to school and honor their ancestors, and the eldest and second sisters can also go home."
The warm words touched Wen Ran, and she also wanted to make money.
She glanced at the snails all over the shallow river bottom, and there was no point in trying it anyway!
"Okay, let's go back and try some snails. It doesn't cost any money anyway."
Wen Nuan smiled: "Yes, it doesn't cost money anyway, let's touch more!"
Warmly bend over and roll up your trousers.
"Okay. Hey, third sister, don't go into the river! I'll do it!" Wen Ran threw the pheasant in his hand to the river, skillfully rolled up his trouser legs, kicked off his shoes that had holes in them, and went into the river to touch snails.
"Okay." Wen Nuan responded. There were many snails by the river and you could touch them at once.
It’s okay if she doesn’t go into the river.
"I'm going to pick two leaves to put them in." Wen Nuan walked to the foot of the mountain and picked two large, round leaves to put the snails in.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Wen Ran touched two packages of snails, and the two went home happily.
The big bad wolf watched them enter the house from the mountain, and then turned back.
The two returned home, but no one at home had returned.
"Third sister, what should I do with these snails?"
Wen Wen got a basin of water and soaked the snail in the river, which had been cleaned of mud on its outer shell. "Just soak it like this for a day and a night. Don't move it casually, or it will spit out the mud in its belly."
Wen Nuan wanted to sprinkle some salt on it, but he thought that salt was very expensive and the river water in ancient times was not polluted. If the snails spit out the mud, you can eat it with confidence.
"Sister Ran, let's kill the pheasant and make chicken porridge. Today we will eat delicious chicken porridge!"
"Okay, kill one, keep one and sell it in the town together with the rabbit."
"If you don't sell them, they'll all be slaughtered. If you sell them, why don't you buy the meat? You'll eat them all..."
Wen Ran thought so after thinking about it.
Now the third sister is in better health because she eats minced meat porridge every day, and all the money given by her grandfather is used to buy meat.
The two half-grown children began to boil water and kill chickens.
Both sisters knew how to kill chickens, but they couldn't skin hares, so they stayed and waited for Wen Jiarui to return.
A intact hare skin can be sold for twenty coins. Those treated hare furs can even cost fifty coins, but it also depends on the color of the fur.
An hour later, a pot of thick, glutinous, smooth, and mellow chicken porridge was ready.
Sprinkle some chopped green onion before eating, which not only enhances the freshness, but also makes the chicken porridge more fragrant and looks better.
"It smells so good!" Wen Ran smelled the aroma and looked at the porridge in the pot, her stomach growled with hunger.
Wen Nuan was also hungry. She glanced at the sun outside. It was scorching in the sky at noon: "Why haven't grandma and mother come back yet?"
At noon, Wen Jiarui and the two brothers did not come back for dinner, only Wang and Wu came back for dinner.
Early this morning, Wang and Wu went to the next village to help Landlord Feng's family wash their clothes.
"It's quite late today, maybe there's a lot of work to do! But it should be soon." This kind of situation sometimes happens, Wen Ran said nonchalantly.
At this moment, a woman shouted from outside the courtyard door: "Sister Ran, sister Ran, are you at home? Open the door quickly, something serious is going to happen!"
"Here it is!" Wen Ran was so frightened that he quickly ran to open the bamboo door.
Nuan Nuan also stood up.

Thank you cutie who voted (??.??).
We here have the custom of eating snails on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard the old man said that eating it will make your eyes brighter~~
Some time ago, I went to my hometown to visit ancient houses and other things. I saw a stone statue of the custom of eating snails, and I thought of this plot.
I don’t know if my eyes are bright or not, but I think this little thing is quite delicious^_^
