“Mumu is amazing; you discovered another edible ingredient.” Mu Chen enthusiastically praised.
Mu Yan felt a little embarrassed because he wouldn’t have found these edible ingredients so quickly and accurately if he hadn’t obtained the appraisal skill from the system. The majority of the credit should go to the system.
“Now that we have scallions, all we need is oil and pepper.” Mu Yan smiled as he neared the end of the scallion pancake ingredients.
Furthermore, animal fat could be used in place of oil. He remembered people in the village cutting some pork with fat meat during the spring festival. This fat could be fried into oil in the pot and was delicious to cook with.
“I’m not sure if there are any wild boars around here. The most fragrant oil comes from wild boar fat.” Mu Yan thought to himself.
His voice was not loud, but Mu Chen’s hearing was acute.
Mu Chen didn’t say anything at the time, but he talked a lot more on the way back.
The majority of them were discussing the ingredients he discovered with Mu Yan before pretending to ask the wild boar questions. Such as how it appeared and how big it was. Then he silently imagined a three-dimensional shape based on Mu Yan’s description and kept everything in his mind.
Mu Chen went out in the afternoon on the pretext of something, but Mu Yan began to feel strange after a while.
Since Mu Chen woke up and decided to stay here, he had been staying with Mu Yan all the time. The farthest distance was only that one of them cooked in front of the stove on this side of the yard, and the other handled prey on the other.
This was his first time acting alone.
However, Mu Yan didn’t think about it too much. After all, Mu Chen was also a human being and had his own affairs and space. Thinking like this, he continued to deal with the corn picked in the morning.
“Yanyan, what are we going to eat later? Boiled corn? Roasted corn? Or corn porridge?” 005 saw Mu Yan constantly handling corn. Just looking at the endless golden-yellow corn made 005 salivate.
“Let’s eat boiled corn today, and save the rest for next time.” said Mu Yan.
Boiled corn was the most convenient way to eat corn. But don’t underestimate it just because of its simplicity. The boiled corn that retained the original sweet taste of corn was very tasty.
“Okay.” 005 was very pleased. No matter what Mu Yan did, it was very supportive.
Mu Yan peeled all of the corn that needed to be boiled today, and the remaining corn would not be peeled for the time being. The coated corn could be stored for an extended period of time.
After processing the corn and cooking it in the pot for an hour and a half, Mu Chen had not returned, which worried Mu Yan.

Since Mu Chen glared at 005, 005 had the impression that he could see or perceive its existence, so 005 didn’t dare to be arrogant whenever Mu Chen was present.
When Mu Chen was not present, it was difficult to close the gap, but 005 had to blacken the other party with all its might. So that it could expel the sullen breath that had been suffocating in its chest for several days.
However, as soon as 005 finished speaking, it felt a sharp line of sight shoot straight at it, making his entire person, no, the entire system—stiffen! Its fur stood up on its body, and it was stiff and unable to move.
“I’m back, Mumu.” Mu Yan looked over in surprise as Mu Chen’s low and magnetic voice came from behind him, but he didn’t notice the abnormality of 005.
005: QAQ, Yanyan, how come you can ignore me so much? I am the first person to have met you. Do you not notice my stiff body? Don’t abandon me for him! ( ╥﹏╥) ノシ
As if 005’s short hands were capable of reaching out from its fluffy fur…
“Huh? What exactly is this?” Mu Yan noticed Mu Chen holding a beast larger than he had ever seen in his hand, with a sharp mouth and fangs that looked a little frightening.
“Don’t you want a wild boar? I went looking for one for you, but I’m not sure if it’s the kind you’re looking for.”
Mu Chen threw the beast down. The thudding voice indicated that the wild boar’s weight was not as light as Mu Chen could easily hold.
Mu Yan’s eyes widened, and his stunned expression made one want to reach out and squeeze it.
Mu Chen believed and did so.
“What’s the problem? If it’s not the wild boar you want, I will help you hunt another one tomorrow.” Mu Chen smiled, and the soft touch of his hands made him hesitant to leave.
Mu Yan regained consciousness and noticed Mu Chen’s hand still on his face. The fair little face flushed unexpectedly, making the already appealing face even more appealing.
“No, no, this, this is perfectly fine.” Mu Yan stammered nervously, wanting to back away from the big hand that was causing his heart to skip a beat, but he was greedy for the warmth.
Mu Chen was the first to put down his hand; he was always afraid that if he kept making fun of that little face, it would burst into red.
Mu Yan forced himself to concentrate on the beast. Then he noticed that, if he looked closely, the beast resembled his impression of a wild boar. Except the mouth and nose were more pointed, the teeth were sharper, and the head was larger.
Mu Yan applied his appraisal skill to the beast. He didn’t expect much, but fortunately it could be identified.
[Wild pig, sharp-billed boar; edible.]
Mu Yan’s thoughts were drawn back by the system’s cold appraisal voice. It was discovered that the appraisal skill could identify even animals.
“Then I’ll handle it. What should I do?” Mu Chen asked Mu Yan while holding one of the wild boar’s front paws.
“Scald the pig’s hair, then cut off the entire pig’s head, pig’s trotters…” Mu Yan stated that Mu Chen listened carefully and patiently.
Mu Yan was ecstatic after determining that this was indeed a wild boar. He knew pigs were good things that could be eaten almost all over their bodies and were very tasty. The oil he needed would be found, particularly with wild boars. Such good fortune!
Mu Chen was over there dealing with the wild boar. Mu Yan was always nearby, handing him a tool or helping him roll up his sleeves. The image was obviously bloody due to the wild boar, but it appeared unusually harmonious and beautiful.
In mid-air, 005 flew silently. It always felt like the big bad wolf was going to take away its cute little host, and it might be the one who never returned. What should I do?!
In this regard, 005’s and Yang Wenyao’s moods were miraculously synchronized.
To avoid becoming depressed, 005 decided to guard the corn. 005 must have had a tasty meal the first time the corn was boiled!
“Yanyan, is the corn ready?” 005 asked.
Mu Yan walked to the front of the pot, opened the lid, poked it with his chopsticks, and said, “It’s almost done after cooking for a quarter of an hour.”
Hearing this, 005 was immediately happy, and finally felt a little comfort in its heart.
“Brother Yan, we’re here to play.” A crisp, milky voice came from the door, and after a while, a cute little girl in a tender green skirt walked with another boy in a sapphire blue shirt.
“Yingying, Haohao.” Mu Yan’s smile immediately widened upon seeing the two children.
A ger his age was already married in his previous world, and those with children could be as big as Yingying and Haohao.
So every time Mu Yan saw Yang Yinghao and Yang Yingying, he unconsciously wanted to take care of them and pamper them, which was most likely due to empathy.
“Wow, Brother Yan, what is this?” Yang Yingying saw that Mu Chen was dealing with the wild boar, she walked over curiously, squatted, and watched, her eyes widened, and her little hand even wanted to poke it.
“This is a wild boar, and its meat is delicious.” Mu Yan replied with a smile.
“Delicious? Is it really delicious? Is it better than the pheasant soup that Brother Yan made before?” Yang Yingying inquired with bright eyes, and the corners of her mouth were shamefully glistening.
Yang Yinghao felt the urge to cover his face when he saw his younger sister’s drooling appearance. Those who didn’t know about it assumed her family was starving her younger sister.
Yang Yingying, on the other hand, ate a lot of the pheasant stewed mushrooms that Brother Yan had given them the previous time, and she refused to stop until she was full.
Fortunately, only her family was present at that time. Otherwise, she would be shunned from the village as a disgrace. Who would dare to marry her in the future if she ate so much?
“Hmm, it’s better than pheasant.” Mu Yan said with a smile, thinking of the taste of pork that he ate once in a while, the taste was truly memorable.
Even he couldn’t stop drooling when he thought about it now.
When Mu Chen saw Mu Yan, who was overjoyed with the children, his eyes softened and his hand movements became faster and faster.
Unconsciously, a scene of Mu Yan and the children playing and laughing appeared in his mind while he stood guard over them; the scene was particularly warm.
“Yanyan, it’s been about a quarter-hour, and the corn should be done by now.” 005 reminded them because they were having a good time over there and no one was paying attention to the pot of corn.
“All right, come here.” Mu Yan replied to 005, then turned to face Yingying and Haohao. “I made boiled corn. It must be sweet and tasty.”
Sure enough, as soon as Yingying heard the word “tasty,” she gasped and trailed Mu Yan like a small dog. Yang Yinghao’s frequent glance at the pot betrayed his heart, even if he didn’t show it.
The fragrance of corn was not strong when the lid was closed, but when the pot lid was lifted, the entire yard was filled with the fragrance of corn.
This fragrance was distinct from the previous dishes. It had the unique flavor of the corn itself, with a fresh fragrance and a hint of sweetness.

Alas, I eat as much as I want to, is that the reason I am still single? QAQ
