Chapter 232 Hunting (additional update, thanks to Jiang Yuemanting for the reward)

Yan Shoulu led the army across the bridge. The soldiers who had just completed the mission of nesting bandits still had a murderous look on their bodies. The officials' expressions immediately became solemn and their whole bodies tensed up.

"Why are you coming back at this time?" Zhong Shuling was a little surprised.

"We set off late yesterday and set up camp halfway. If we set off again this morning, we can meet the adults just in time." Yan Shoulu said.

The local officials all saluted, and some of their voices were still trembling.

"You came just in time, we are going to Yongshan for hunting." Zhong Shuling said.

"The kind that hunts all the light." Wu Zhongsu added.

Yan Shoulu raised his eyebrows: "So cruel?"

"That place needs to be cleaned up. No animals will affect the growth of trees," Wu Zhongsu said.

"Just in time, we have the strength now. Let's set off."

Before the soldiers had rested, they set off in the direction of Yongshan.

Eunuch Xiao paid homage to Yan Shoulu. Yan Shoulu returned the greeting: "Eunuch Xiao, what kind of wind brings you here?"

Eunuch Xiao chuckled and said, "I was ordered by the Holy One to announce the decree to the Lord of Changping Township."

Yan Shoulu looked surprised: "Mr. Changping Township?"

"The Holy One conferred upon Miss Chen Fan the title of Queen of Changping Township, and this area was assigned to Changping Township. The same goes for Yongshan."

Yan Shoulu suddenly realized: "It's time to grab some game to try. Almost all the game in Langshan was wiped out by the bandits. We didn't even get a bite of the hare."

The officials all arrived at Qingshan Village by boat. Looking at the short mountains, many people looked suspicious.

Yan Shoulu smiled and said: "Don't underestimate this short hillside. There are quite a few hares and wild boars. There are also wolves, and I heard there are also tigers."

In this era, tigers are still called tigers, and there is no need to avoid taboos.

The soldiers gave each official a bow and a quiver filled with arrows. They also thoughtfully gave each officer a broadsword.

Yan Shoulu made a few gestures, and the soldiers began to march around the mountain.

Zhongshu Ling took the lead in climbing the mountain, and the officials quickly followed.

After climbing two hills, we saw hares running around in the grass. The officials became excited, and even though some arrows fell to the ground halfway, they still laughed.

It is also a kind of happiness to see other people's arrows miss.

Soldiers followed to replenish arrows. Several county magistrates held the hare in their hands, grinning from ear to ear with joy: "Hahahaha, I actually held such a hare with my own hands."

The deeper you go into the forest, the more wild animals you see. The officials also become bolder, waving their swords and cutting straight. It doesn’t matter if they can’t cut, it’s a great process. You don’t dare to run, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and it’s hard to run.

inconvenient.

Chen Fan led several weak officials to pull wild vegetables.

Dandelions can be seen everywhere, and they grow new green leaves in winter, which is the time to eat them. There are wild celery growing vigorously on the wetlands near the water. Plantains are also common on the hillside and along the field edges. Bitter greens are also found.

a lot of.

After two hours of fun, every official had wild animals in his hands, including pheasants, rabbits, deer, deer, deer and wild boars.

"Hunting is so easy?" Some county magistrates seemed to be dreaming.

"It's easy for the soldiers to hunt, but it's not easy for us." Some people were very sober.

"I don't know if any tigers were hunted over there." They only moved around a small area.

Everyone found an open space with spring water. The soldiers set up pots, washed wild vegetables, picked up branches, and slaughtered. They were busy with smiles on their faces.

The good thing about the Huotou Army coming with them was that there were enough pots and pans. The officials couldn't bear to watch the knives go in, but they could watch excitedly as the deer's blood flowed into the basins.

The soldiers brought a stack of bowls, rinsed them with spring water, scooped a little from each bowl, and handed them to the officials. Some people waved their hands, while others took the bowls and looked at each other.

"Just drink like this?"

"You can drink it like this, or you can drink it with wine." The soldier who spoke added his lips, as if if you don't drink it, I will drink it right away.

Those people no longer hesitated, raised their heads, and finished their work. They closed their eyes tightly, pursed their lips, and wrinkled their entire faces.

"Fierce!" Someone came over first and praised.

"There is energy circulating throughout the body." Do you want to be so exaggerated?

There are also those who react strongly and keep swallowing, trying to endure the discomfort.

"Give me the wild boar stomach. It can cure stomach problems." Chen Fan said to a soldier.

The soldier readily agreed.

"Does wild boar have a fishy smell?"

"Yes, it's very heavy, but the meat is delicious." The soldiers both disliked and yearned for it.

"I have a way. First cut into small pieces, rub them and soak them in water to wash away the impurities and blood. Then apply a layer of white wine, add ginger slices and green onions, and let it sit for two quarters of an hour. This will remove some of the fishy smell. It's burnt.

Add some star anise and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry until cooked."

"So troublesome?"

"Is it okay? I haven't said to marinate it for an hour, or to boil it on low heat for a while and then rub it and wash it." That would take too much time, and everyone can't wait.

"Miss Chen often does this?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "I don't eat game, but I am familiar with cooking and know some processing methods."

Chen Fan washed the wild boar belly with salt, stuffed it with ginger slices and peppercorns, and sewed the opening with a needle and thread. He found a pot and added water to make soup.

Blanch wild vegetables in boiling water, or cook them cold or make soup.

Some officials gathered around to watch the soldiers roasting pheasants and hares. They were standing, squatting and sitting. There was no style at all in the past.

The soldiers were willing to add seasonings, and the pheasant and hare were roasted until they were shiny and fragrant. When you take a bite, they are so fresh and tender that the eyes of those who eat them will squint.

The venison was roasted on a thin stone slab, very clean and sizzling with oil. Chen Fan and Yan Shoulu both prepared wine, and the men took a sip of venison and a sip of wine. It was so refreshing.

Chen Fan took out the ginger slices and pepper from the pork belly and sliced ​​the pork belly. Several officials took a few pieces of meat and scooped out a bowl of soup. They had just heard that wild boar belly can treat stomach problems.

The barbecue was almost done, and the wild boar meat was cooked thoroughly. It was fragrant and had no fishy smell at all. The soldiers ate the meat with big mouthfuls, and drank the soup and purred loudly.

After eating too much meat, eating some wild vegetables and drinking some wild vegetable soup, I feel extremely refreshing.

"Isn't it easy to get angry?" Tang Chaoying understood now.

Chen Fan smiled and nodded.

After eating and drinking, everyone started to return. After taking a nap, they went to hand over the rice.

The officials rubbed their hands in excitement as they watched bags of rice being moved out of the house and poured into the sacks they had prepared.

As soon as a bag was poured, everyone hurriedly grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it. They even twisted a few grains to see how the rice looked, and their expressions became even more excited.

"As expected, they are all high-quality grains. The grains are plump and larger than the usual grains."

Once a bag is packed, it is weighed and then the bag is sealed. The field is busy and orderly.

Yan Shoulu and the others came back, beating gongs and drums, and lifted two big guys from the boat.
Chapter completed!
