After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 288 Beating Up the Big-Eyed Tiger
A large, menacing tiger leaped out from behind a tree and roared at Su Xiaoxiao and the others with its massive jaws wide open.

The vibrations caused the leaves around them to fall with a rustling sound, and Su Xiaoxiao's face showed an excited expression.

She's run into a tiger again. How many times has Su Xiaoxiao encountered a big tiger? She's practically turned into a tiger-slaying hero like Wu Song.

An Yongshan shielded Su Xiaoxiao and Bei Yan behind him and went to confront the big tiger alone. It was quite powerful, and in the blink of an eye, the tiger fell to the ground and died with its legs stretched out.

To be honest, it was really easy, but Su Xiaoxiao witnessed firsthand what true superhuman strength really meant today.

An Yongshan didn't use a bow and arrow; he went straight over and beat the big, white-eyed tiger to death with his bare hands and his fists, which were the size of sandbags.

The scene was no less dramatic than the story of Wu Song fighting the tiger that Su Xiaoxiao learned in elementary school.

The premise is that An Yongshan had never drunk a drop of water from a three-bowl feast, yet he still possessed such divine power.

Su Xiaoxiao and Bei Yan were stunned on the spot; all they could do was be surprised.

Bei Yan's mouth was agape. He had always looked down on An Yongshan, but now, seeing An Yongshan fight a tiger with his bare hands right in front of him, he couldn't help but admire him so much that he was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao was also shocked. She thought that even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray such a scene, but now she was seeing it with her own eyes. Where could she go to reason with this?

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao truly felt that her life had not been in vain. An Yongshan called them over to carry the big tiger out of the forest.

"We'd better get out of here quickly, otherwise the smell of blood might attract other tigers."

Su Xiaoxiao and Bei Yan came to help. They returned to the forest together and found Da Bao and Su Bingcheng still waiting there.

Before sunset, everyone worked together to move all the prey down the mountain.

"That's great. That's great."

Da Bao and the others clapped their hands. Su Xiaoxiao kept her word and roasted tiger meat and wild boar meat. They used fresh ingredients and roasted them in Su Xiaoxiao's special oven. The aroma wafted far and wide.

Su Xiaoxiao called the entire Sun family over and even shared the leftover game from the barbecue with the villagers.

The village head's family and Granny Wang's family both sent tiger meat, and they happily thanked Su Xiaoxiao.

As dusk fell, Su Xiaoxiao's barbecue party at home officially began. Su Xiaoxiao's barbecue skills were truly learned after coming to ancient times, without any fakery.

After learning ancient barbecue techniques here, Su Xiaoxiao officially began working as a barbecue chef.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Su Xiaoxiao was happy too, handing An Yongshan a large piece of tiger meat.

"Here you go, you deserve the most credit today, this is the best part of the tiger."

An Yongshan smiled, took the tiger meat, and remained low-key.

Su Xiaoxiao saw the temperament of those Hu people from the frontier in him. Sometimes, their carefree and unruly spirit is indeed quite handsome after looking at them for a while.

No, Su Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head. What was she thinking? Why couldn't she shake off her infatuated personality and fall in love with every guy she met?

Pei Yuan, Sanlang, please come back soon! Otherwise, I'm going to...

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the starry sky, feeling really annoyed. She couldn't write to Pei Yuan and didn't know anything about him. In this closed-off era, Su Xiaoxiao finally understood what it felt like in an era when travel was slow and letters were rare.

Perhaps this is the effect of longing?

After the New Year, time passed slowly, and Su Xiaoxiao spent almost every day in a boring and monotonous routine. Counting the days, watching Da Bao and Xiao Bao play in the yard, listening to their reading, and occasionally seeing Liu Qiaomei sitting by the well embroidering various patterns, she felt even more lonely.

Although everyone around me is still here, that one person is missing.

Su Xiaoxiao felt as if a large part of her heart was missing; why was time passing so slowly?
Soon after the start of spring, several rain showers made the feeling of spring seem even stronger.

As the weather gradually warms up, Su Xiaoxiao truly feels the revival of all things and their vibrant life.

But her mood remained low, filled with an indescribable loneliness, boredom, and isolation.

At noon, Da Bao and Xiao Bao were reading in the yard, and their clear reading voices reached Su Xiaoxiao's ears.

They were reciting the twenty-four solar terms: "Spring rain awakens the earth, spring equinox brings clear skies and grains; summer fullness brings awns and grains; autumn equinox brings dew, autumn chill, frost; winter snow brings heavy snow, winter solstice, minor and major cold. Two solar terms every month without change, at most a day or two apart."

As Su Xiaoxiao listened, she sat up in bed.

Yes, it's spring now, Pei Yuan should be back soon, right?
These days, she truly felt the atmosphere of spring. Isn't spring the beginning of the year? Why did she have to become so decadent?

Yes, cheer up, Su Xiaoxiao! And since you're a transmigrated peasant girl, spring is the season for planting, so you absolutely can't miss this great opportunity.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the livestock market and bought a few more oxen. This kind of busy life is what normal life is like.

Otherwise, when autumn comes, it's harvest season for everyone, but you won't get a single grain of food from your field, wouldn't that be terrible?
Su Xiaoxiao's plan to farm surprised the village head.

"You own a jam shop and a workshop in town, do you still need to farm yourself? You can just hire a few people."

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No, that's not true. I'm still a farmer, and farming is my duty."

Such a simple answer really surprised the village head.

He was amused and laughed heartily, as if he had heard the biggest joke of the year.

Su Xiaoxiao also bought tools for tilling the land, such as plows, and prepared everything.

As a result, she had only been in the field for less than half a day when her back gave out.

Bei Yan laughed uncontrollably beside her, "You're just showing off, aren't you? I already told you, it would be much better if you hired someone to help you plow the land. You're working yourself to the bone like a dog, it's so pointless!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that she wanted to come over and punch someone, but she found that she couldn't even lift her arms.

"What are you laughing at? Go plow the fields for me, I have to pay someone to do it, don't I?"

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and looked at Bei Yan.

Upon hearing this, Bei Yan quickly shook her head and waved her hand at Su Xiaoxiao, saying, "I don't know how to farm at all. I'm from the city."

Su Xiaoxiao gave a wicked smile. "I don't care. I don't know how to farm this land either. How about you help me out?"

Bei Yan was so frightened that he ran away in a flash, and he never mocked Su Xiaoxiao for not knowing how to farm again.

Thinking of the hard work involved in farming, Su Xiaoxiao recited that classic ancient poem once again.

"Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey."
