Ultimately, the snow stopped sooner than I’d expected. My daughters looked a touch forlorn as they saw the very thin sheet of white covering the land. Had the snow kept its initial gusto, we would’ve had a bit more—my daughters found that to be a bit of a shame. But more snow also implied freezing temperatures, so it wasn’t all good or welcome. This was perfect; just barely enough for us to play around in.

“All that’s left is to hole up inside,” I said to myself, as I exhaled out white clouds of breath.

It was a bit past noon. The snow may have stopped, but it was still very cold. We’d moved around a bit, and I was feeling warm, so I wasn’t as bothered by the chilly air for now.

“We won’t be completely holed up, but we won’t be hunting, and we’ll be staying in the forest,” Samya said as she grabbed the ropes.

Soon, we would begin days of isolation where we only traveled to the hot spring or out to forage for what little was currently growing. We’d continue to make items for our orders, and we’d maintain our lifestyle, but for about six weeks—a month and a half—we’d be staying at home. I’d never done anything like this back on Earth. I wanted to kick back in my new world, but I’ve been pretty busy. After the six weeks were up, we’d return to our normal schedule of visiting the city once every other week, but I didn’t think it’d hurt for us to relax and enjoy the season for a while. Since we’ve got plenty of time, maybe I can try processing the precious metals we’ve got.

“All right, it’s gotten a bit late, but let’s have lunch,” I said.

Everyone agreed with my idea. As silence settled in, it felt like I just made the signal for our hibernation in the Black Forest. Frankly, I was a bit excited for the quiet days to come.

“Speaking of, will our crops be okay?” I asked Lidy. I’d rehydrated some dried meat and was frying it with vegetables.

These vegetables had been harvested a while back and dried for preservation purposes. I mostly had a carrot-like vegetable on hand. Any leafy greens are consumed immediately upon harvesting. One of the few exceptions was this dried cabbage-like vegetable that I’d added to this stir fry. Back on Earth, cabbages were sweet and easy enough to eat on their own, but the crops in this world were a bit astringent. I think on Earth, I learned that cabbages produce some bitterness as a defense mechanism from insects—maybe the crops here are doing something similar.

If I could do some selective breeding and ensure that the crops are safely protected from insects and other pests, I might be able to engineer delicious cabbage that’s sweet and easy to eat. But if I was going to do something like that, I would’ve asked for farming cheats instead of smithing.

A quiet farming life in another world, huh...? I feel like I’d attract a lot of people and end up developing a village.
