Chapter 405 is also starting to get tricky
"It's okay, this is just the beginning. You see the lake is so big, there must be a lot of wild ducks. Calm down. When you start again later, remember what your master taught you. Stay calm and keep walking." Simple After appeasing Tian Quan, Hong Xiaoduo led everyone forward.
The boys haven't come out of their excitement yet, they just want to wait and shoot a few more, completely forgetting about the wild ducks they just shot.
Feiyan stood there, looking at the wild ducks all over the place, and muttered to herself helplessly: "Just keep hitting them together."
The eight wild ducks were quite large. They picked them up in their big bamboo basket and it was heavy to carry. They looked ahead, turned back to the edge of the tent, took out the wild ducks and put them away, and then went to find them with the empty basket. .
"Brother, I didn't hit Xiao Si'er just now. Would you like to follow him and give him some pointers?" Feiyan had already passed by Quan Jinghuai, stopped and turned around and asked.
Quan Jinghuai looked at her and pointed to the tent and carriage path not far away: "Who am I going to look at the property?"
After hearing what he said, Feiyan also reacted, said "Oh", and continued walking forward while carrying the bamboo basket.
Watching Fei Yan's retreating figure, Quan Jinghuai muttered: "Why are you giving me some advice, Xiao Si'er? He's clearly trying to trick me into working as a coolie."
After muttering, Quan Jinghuai suddenly shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. When Feiyan first followed, he acted and spoke cautiously, but now, he is starting to become slippery!
Listening to the excited screams and cheers in the distance, Quan Jinghuai continued to catch his fish absentmindedly, muttering to himself: "Why, such a loud whirring sound scared the wild ducks away. Let's see what you are hunting for."
The screams were made by Tianquan and Yaoguang. Tianquan was because he shot a wild duck, and Yaoguang was happy because his fourth brother had shot a wild duck, and he was also happy for him.
Tianshu, Tianxuan and Tianji Yuheng were helpless but did not remind them to keep their voices down.
I don’t know if the wild ducks are stupid or something else, but even the wild ducks that were frightened did not fly far away, but still flew into the reeds by the lake.
The children were becoming more and more sensible. Within an hour, they hunted in a circle along the lake.
They didn't even know how many wild ducks they had hunted down together. Feiyan later learned the lesson and didn't carry them back to the camp immediately. Instead, they put them in piles and prepared to wait for the hunting to end and let everyone take them back together. .
After retrieving all the wild ducks that were shot down, Tianxuan felt a little worried when she looked at the pile of wild ducks in front of her. She was not worried about the trouble and was tired of stripping the duck feathers and tidying up the ducks.
But I was worried, after hunting so many ducks, how should I store them and marinate them all with salt?
"Tianxuan, what's your expression? Is it too much now?" Hong Xiaoduo asked teasingly, sitting on a lounge chair basking in the sun.
"Mom, what town can we go to tomorrow and sell some?" Yao Guang suggested after hearing Hong Xiaoduo's words.
Tianxuan also came over and told the reason for her worries. Hong Xiaoduo laughed as soon as she heard this: "What kind of thing is this? Just put all these away first and let me think about it."
After saying that, he pulled Yao Guang into his arms and told her: "We made it ourselves. Now that the season has been processed and stored, we won't sell it. I will think of a few more ways to pickle it later, and you can eat it later." If it’s delicious, it should be too little.”
After hearing her words, Tianxuan seemed to have taken reassurance. She called her eldest brother and younger brother, went to the lake to carry water, lit a fire and boiled water to prepare for the ducks.
Hong Xiaoduo thought for a while, walked over and said to them: "Wait a minute, the duck heart, duck gizzards, and duck intestines have been packed away and put away separately. Now I'm going to think about the pickling recipe."
"Xiaoduo, by the way, I want to think about how to marinate and dry this fish to make it delicious." Quan Jinghuai came over carrying several large fish strung on reed poles and said.
Each of the fish weighed several kilograms, including grass carp and carp. Quan Jinghuai really didn't say this to her casually. He knew that she could really think of it, because she taught him even the bait recipe for fishing.
He also told the truth, what season, what water area, what weather, what time and place to catch what fish, and what bait to use.
Let’s say she knows everything, but she doesn’t know how to fish, so let her fish? She just stabs the fish with a sharpened stick.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded, went into the tent, took out pens, ink and papers, and put them on the small table next to the recliner. Others saw her closing her eyes and thinking, but in fact she had already entered the space with her mind and turned on the computer to check everything.
After a while, he opened his eyes, sat up, and wrote something on the paper.
Then take a break and write some more.
After doing this several times, I filled up several pieces of paper and thought it was almost enough. Then I walked to Tianshu and the others and handed it to Tianxuan and said: "Take these, pickled wild duck and fish." The recipe steps are here ”
Tianxuan was about to reach out and take it when she saw the duck feathers on her hand. She quickly turned around and washed and dried her hands carefully. Then she took the paper and looked at it carefully.
"Mom, we don't have some of these spices." Tianxuan is in charge of food, so she knows very well whether they are available or not.
"What kind?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.
After Tianxuan pointed it out to her, she said: "Why don't you have these? We have them."
"Yes? But I don't remember that we bought it?" Tianxuan thought hard, but still had no impression at all.
"We didn't buy it together. I saw some for sale in the capital this time, so I bought some. I forgot to tell you. Just wait, I'll look for it in the carriage." Hong Xiaoduo's expression remained unchanged, his heart not beating. ed.
Tianxuan laughed: "Is that what I said? If we buy them together, we won't be unimpressed."
After saying that, he quickly folded the recipe in his hand carefully and put it into his arms, and continued to pack the wild ducks.
On the other side, Hong Xiaoduo specially chose the carriage compartment of the Marquis Fu'an Mansion, got in, entered the space inside, and quickly found the spices he needed on the storage shelf, took them out and gave them to Tianxuan, telling The name of each of his spices.
After watching Quan Jinghuai put the fish down, he went to mix the bait again, as if he planned to continue fishing.
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the surrounding environment again. According to the map she checked, no one lived here for nearly three hundred miles. It's no wonder there are so many big fish and so many wild ducks in the lake.
"We are very lucky to have such a big harvest here. Wild ducks are also migratory birds. If we follow the original planned route and go north, we will not encounter wild ducks." Hong Xiaoduo said with great satisfaction.
Hearing this, Quan Jinghuai and Feiyan couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, we are lucky, but the fish in the lake and the wild ducks by the lake are unlucky!
Hong Xiaoduo leisurely returned to the deck chair and continued to bask in the sun. Yao Guang showed her a bag of stones he had just picked up: "Mom, do you think it can be used?"
The stones are all about the size of Hong Xiaoduo's fingernail and are very even.
"It can be used, it can be used. Yao Guang is so attentive. When he knew that I had consumed some stones in the morning, he immediately thought of replenishing them for me." Hong Xiaoduo praised the little girl and put the stones into his waist. He just wanted her to sit next to him and eat melon seeds, when Tianji called her over to pluck the duck's feathers.
At this time, there was movement on the official road. Hong Xieduo and the others looked over and saw that there were three carriages, and more than a dozen people accompanying them. They stopped nearby. Someone rode his horse over, looked around, and then returned to the carriage. ……
