Chapter 482 Autumn is refreshing, let’s eat chicken together(1/2)
The hunting event was unprecedentedly grand.
Even the First Emperor personally led the cavalry to the hunting ground north of Ganquan Palace to hunt.
As the autumn becomes stronger, the vegetation in the mountains becomes increasingly sparse, making prey that can usually hide has nowhere to hide.
The hunting was divided into two venues, the clan, courtiers and the First Emperor, and their children were a hunting ground.
This hunting ground is located south of Ganquan Palace. It has a flat terrain and a wide view.
Seeing the vegetation is sparse and animals that breed here have lost their hiding place. If there is any slightest movement, traces will be exposed.
"Brother Kun, your injury is fine?" Fusu rode on the horse and asked Zhao Kun with concern.
Zhao Kun quickly sat down and waved his hand with a smile: "It's not a problem."
In fact, his back injury has not completely healed, but he had already boasted about his promise yesterday that he would be cured today, so even if he was unwell, he could only force himself to hold on.
"Young Master, if you are uncomfortable, just rest here and leave the rest to us."
Jiang Chao sat on the horse's back and suggested to Zhao Kun.
"I'm here to hunt today, so don't discuss my back injury anymore." Zhao Kun said with his eyes narrowed.
"Okay." Jiang Chao replied helplessly.
Fusu opened his mouth and stopped talking. Zhao Kun changed the subject directly and said, "Why didn't the eldest brother go to the father's side?"
"The father said that there are all young people here, so let me come and take charge of the overall situation." Fusu said with a smile.
"Hand the overall situation? What's the point of hosting this? Today's hunting is more than who hunts? Brother, don't lose to me later!"
"Okay, then we'll compete later."
Fusu smiled, then turned to look at the children of various families who were eager to try, and waved: "Go!"
"Boom~~~~"
As soon as Fusu finished speaking, the children of each family immediately rushed to the hunting ground with their own teams.
That momentum is no less than a war.
"this....."
Fusu was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect this scene.
Seeing this, Zhao Kun quipped with some amusement: "It seems that my brother still doesn't understand the hearts of young people!"
"You boy understand."
"That's, I'm the real young man."
"Oh."
Fusu yelled and laughed, "That young man works harder to see if he can return with a full load today."
"I heard that there were very few hunting activities in the past few years, which led to the animals here resting and recuperation, and the number was much higher than in previous years, so it is definitely no problem to return with a full load!"
"It makes sense, but there are many teams hunting this time, so we still have to hurry up."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
After Zhao Kun finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao understood and pointed to a place not far ahead: "Young Master, let's go there first. Where there is a water source, there must be prey hiding!"
"Okay." Zhao Kun nodded: "Let's go, stand up."
As Zhao Kun led the team to leave, Fusu also led the team to follow closely and rode his horse in the other direction.
Not long after, Zhao Kun's team arrived at the riverbed that Jiang Chao pointed to.
As soon as they approached the riverbed, the hounds following the team barked wildly, which was undoubtedly a signal of discovering prey.
This was the first time Zhao Kun participated in a hunting event. He couldn't help but feel nervous and hurriedly signaled to the hunter behind him, "Go quickly!"
The hunter who raised hunting dogs had already discovered the situation. When Zhao Kun finished speaking, he rushed out like an arrow.
Zhao Kun stayed in place and saw only people galloping and hunting dogs rushing, but never found any trace of prey.
When Jiang Chao saw his appearance, he was a little funny, and then said, "Young Master, I'm going too."
"Go and go!" Zhao Kun waved his hand as he looked around.
Jiang Chao rode his horse and rushed out with a whoosh, just like overtaking on a curve in a motorcycle track. This was obviously finding the target of pursuit.
Sure enough, when the hunters saw Jiang Chao take the lead, they immediately changed direction and followed him to chase him.
When the hunters approached, Jiang Chao had already raised his prey and shouted to Zhao Kun: "Young master, eat roasted rabbit tonight!"
“Grilled rabbit?”
Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes, and saw the lively hare in Jiang Chao's hands, thinking, this is too fast!
However, although he did not participate in the hunting in person, he was still very happy to get something when he came out, so he responded to Jiang Chao: "Good job, bring the rabbit to me quickly!"
"good!"
Jiang Chao responded and immediately rode his horse back to the team.
Zhao Kun turned over and dismounted, ran to Jiang Chao to check the hare,
What surprised him was that the hare was bigger than he thought.
"You want to have a roast rabbit?"
Zhao Kun looked at the rabbit, then looked at Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chaomeng nodded: "Eat!"
"Okay, let's eat here."
“Eat here?”
Jiang Chao was stunned, and seemed to have not reacted.
Zhou Kui hurriedly reminded, "Young master, it is best to take the prey back to the camp to eat."
"Why?" Zhao Kun was a little puzzled: "The prey must be fresh to taste delicious. What if you take it back and die!"
"No, we are just setting out now. If we delay here, it will be difficult to return with a full load today."
"Are you stupid? You're just talking about it when you're back with a full load. Let's have fun. You can continue hunting. Jiang Waer and I are waiting for you here!"
"But...."
"Okay, don't go too far. Take it back if you get something. We cook the meal and wait for you here!"
Zhao Kun waved his hand, and Zhou Kui left helplessly with the hunters.
The Wu brothers were not satisfied yet, so they followed them.
Only Jiang Chao and Zhao Kun, as well as the few guards and servants he brought were left here.
Under Zhao Kun's command, the guards handled the hare cleanly, and Jiang Chao and his servants also lit the bonfire.
The temporary camp beside the riverbed is gradually taking shape, and the hunters have gained new gains.
"Young Master, look at how many pheasants we caught!"
The Wu brothers each had two pheasants and excitedly showed off to Zhao Kun.
When Zhao Kun saw the pheasant, his eyes lit up and he smiled and joked: "Are you bringing the pheasant's nest? So many pheasants!"
"Those hounds are really good, with very smart noses. They took us to find these pheasants!"
"Yes, yes, those hounds are so amazing!"
When I heard your words from the Wu brothers, I praised the hunting dog. Zhao Kun walked up and found that there were no obvious scars on the pheasant, which means that the hunting dog just surrounded the pheasant and did not bite them.
It can be seen that the hunting dog is well-trained.
"Oh, my master, do you want to eat these pheasants today?" Wu Zhong said suddenly.
"If you don't keep it for today, can you keep it for the New Year?"
Zhao Kun said with some amusement: "Go and deal with it quickly, wait for me to ask you how to eat!"
"good!"
The Wu brothers responded and immediately ran to the river to clean up the pheasant.
Seeing this, Jiang Chao walked forward curiously: "Young master, there is already a roasted rabbit. Can you still use this pheasant to roast it?"
"Although this pheasant is fatter than a hare, its meat is firm and not delicious when roasted. The best thing is to stew the soup!" Zhao Kun shook his head and said.
"Steam the soup?" Jiang Chao was a little disappointed: "When he came out, he didn't want to eat it here, so he didn't bring any pot!"
"If you don't have a pot, you can't eat it in different ways?"
Zhao Kun looked at Jiang Chao with some amusement, then looked around and soon found a green plant. When he walked over, he found that it was wild taro.
Although wild taro cannot be eaten randomly, leaves are of great use.
"Jiang Waer, go and cut some taro leaves and take them back."
