Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Serious Meal

During the years that Lin Xia has been a housewife, it can be said that she has developed skills both in the hall and in the kitchen.

When they came to the river, they skinned the rabbit, disembowelled it, took out the inedible internal organs and put them aside.

Wrap the cleaned rabbit in leaves, cut the throat of the pheasant, and drain the blood.

Pheasants need to be scalded in boiling water and then plucked. They just have to wait to boil the water before processing.

The rabbit skin was completely peeled off, so Lin Xia didn't waste it. She cleaned the rabbit skin, went back to dry it, and kept it to make clothes for her daughter in the future.

After some busy work, Su Tang and Su Guodong went to throw the internal organs far away to prevent wild animals from smelling the blood and approaching their hay shed.

In the middle of the night, there was inevitably another chaotic meal.

When the three of them came back with rabbits and pheasants, Su Jianyuan had already lit the fire.

Xiaofu was squatting in front of the fire, carefully poking the fire with a slender stick.

"Mom! Sister! You are back..."

Seeing Su Tang and the others coming back, Xiao Fu immediately threw the stick and rushed towards Su Tang with a diligent look on his face.

"Do you want my help? Sister, I can do the work too!"

Su Tang looked puzzled, how could this little wolf cub be so different from yesterday?

Could it be that he was also penetrated by a human spirit and took over his body?

Su Tang wanted to just let him wait to eat, but when he saw Xiaofu's shining eyes, he casually said:

"Then just watch the fire and don't let it go out."

In fact, Su Jianyuan's fire-making skills were very good. The wood was all set up so that it wouldn't go out without Xiao Fu watching.

"Okay sister, I'll go right away." Xiao Fu ran to the fire and continued squatting in front of the fire.

Su Guodong and Lin Xia behind them looked at each other.

Damn it, this little wolf cub has changed his gender?

The two of them didn't think much about it. Of course they hoped that their son would be better behaved and not doubt their best, so that they wouldn't have to pretend to work so hard.

Lin Xia began to boil water and pluck the pheasant feathers.

Su Guodong gave his wife a hand just like before he traveled through time.

Su Tang looked around but didn't see his two brothers. He walked to the fire and asked Xiaofu:

"Where are the brothers?"

"The eldest brother said he wanted to make some traps to prevent wild beasts from attacking us in the middle of the night, so he asked the second brother to do it together." Xiaofu raised his head and answered honestly.

Now he no longer doubts that the trap made by his brother is useless.

Today's four prey have convinced him.

Whoever says his brother is a waste in the future, he will be the first to stand up and oppose it!

Su Tang nodded, remembering that her elder brother said this this morning.

The sun was almost setting at this time and was hanging on the top of the mountain, like the mountain wearing a red hat.

Under the setting sun, green smoke rises, and the family is busy making fire and cooking. The days are actually more fulfilling than before the time travel.

Su Tang came over to help, only to find that their home didn't even have decent kitchen utensils, and they could only use broken bowls to boil water, bowl by bowl.

It seems that I have to find a way to get some kitchen utensils, pots and pans tomorrow.

Otherwise, with the meat, eating would be a problem.

After boiling the water, use a basket woven with vines and cover it with several thick layers of large leaves to serve as a large bucket, and soak the pheasants in the boiling water.

Not long after, Lin Xia quickly plucked the chicken feathers cleanly.

"Honey, thank you for your hard work."

Su Guodong promptly handed over a piece of animal skin cut from the animal skin skirt and wiped Lin Xia's hands.

In the past, although he did little housework at home, the family's income depended on him alone. Now here, he can't get money, can't find food, can't build a house, and can't work as well as his wife and children.

.

As a result, he now feels a sense of crisis.

I always feel that if I don’t do something, I will be rejected.

Lin Xia glanced at him, pushed him away with the back of her hand, and said with disgust:

"I'm working, why don't I wipe my hands, just stay there."

How come you are not as sensible as Xiaofu despite how old you are?

Su Guodong stood aside aggrievedly, his heart thumping, it's over, he is really useless in this family!

It seems that he will have to work more in the future, and if his wife dislikes him, it seems that polyandry is still practiced here, and he does not want to be "brothers" with other orcs.

Su Tang felt that the atmosphere was subtle, and was about to hand the tools to her mother, but when she was looking for them, she remembered that there were no hairs at home except for stone knives.

"Mom, we don't even have a chopping board at home."

Lin Xia put her hands together, thought for a moment, turned to Su Guodong and said:

"Husband, go find a flatter stone, wash it and bring it back."

Without tools, you can only use local materials.

When Su Guodong saw that he had a task, he responded excitedly and went to pick up the stones.

He was quick with his hands and feet and quickly found two flat stones.

One piece is thicker and can be used as a cutting board for cutting meat, while the other piece is thinner and can be used as a stone slab barbecue.

The two stones were not small. Although they were flat, they weighed several dozen kilograms. Su Guodong was already sweating profusely when he came back holding the stones.

Su Tang took a look and saw that although her father's physical strength was not as good as other strong orcs, he was still a little stronger than before.

Sure enough, orcs have racial talents and great strength.

With the "chopping board", Lin Xia cut a rabbit into eight pieces in a few seconds, while Su Tang used leaves to scoop up the rabbit meat piece by piece for later use.

Meat is easy to attract insects in the wild, so you must always pay attention when placing it on the ground, otherwise it will be swarmed by ants and flies in the blink of an eye.

As soon as things were tidied up here, Su Jianyuan and Su Shiwei came back.

"Big brother and second brother, have you done it?" Su Tang asked when he saw the two of them coming back, handing over two bowls of cold drinks.

"It's done. I've blocked off a circle of thorns near the hay shed and made a few traps so that wild animals can't get close. If you're lucky, you can get extra food." Su Jianyuan finished speaking in a rough voice and raised his head.

Pour a bowl of water into your stomach.

Su Shiwei was much more gentle. Even though he was tired and thirsty, he drank water without any rush.

After Su Jianyuan finished speaking, he continued:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. There are no large beasts around here. There are only some snakes, insects, rats, and ants. The traps are just in case. You can just sleep peacefully at night."

Traps and thorns not only protect against wild beasts, but also against orcs.

The corners of Su Tang's mouth twitched slightly.

Snakes, insects, rats and ants? With that said, why does she feel even more unsafe...

When she was a child, she went to the fields with Su Guodong and was bitten on the butt by a cauliflower snake. She was only psychologically repelled by Plush Rong, but she was sincerely afraid of snakes.

"Everyone go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

When Lin Xia's voice came, the three siblings ignored their small talk and took Xiaofu to wash their hands, then sat down in front of the fire, eagerly waiting to eat meat.

This was the first serious meal they had after traveling through time!

The four rabbit legs were removed and were being roasted on the fire. A new fire was built next to it, with a flat stone on top. The remaining rabbit meat was cut into thin slices and spread on the stone for roasting.

The stone was scalding hot from the fire, and soon the rabbit meat slices were sizzling with oil, exuding an alluring aroma that would make people roll with greed.

Xiaofu stared at the rabbit meat and couldn't help but take a big sip of saliva.
