Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 483 Let's Eat Chicken Together

The hunting activities were unprecedentedly grand.

Even the first emperor personally led the cavalry to hunt in the hunting ground north of Ganquan Palace.

As autumn grew stronger, the vegetation in the mountain forest became more and more sparse, making the prey that usually hides very difficult to hide.

The hunting was divided into two venues, the clan and courtiers had a hunting ground with the first emperor, and their children had a separate hunting ground.

This hunting ground is located in the south of Ganquan Palace, with a flat terrain and a wide view.

Seeing that the vegetation is sparse, the animals that breed here have also lost their hiding places, and will be exposed if there is a slight disturbance.

"Brother Kun, are your injuries alright?" Fu Su asked Zhao Kun with concern while riding on the horse.

Zhao Kun quickly sat down, smiled and waved his hands: "It's not in the way."

In fact, his back injury is not completely healed, but he already boasted yesterday that he will be better today, so even if he is unwell, he can only hold on.

"My lord, if you are not feeling well, just rest here and leave the rest to us."

Sitting on the horseback, Jiang Chao suggested to Zhao Kun.

"I'm here for hunting today, don't discuss my waist injury anymore." Zhao Kun said with narrowed eyes.

"Okay." Jiang Chao replied helplessly.

Fusu opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but Zhao Kun directly changed the subject and said, "Why didn't eldest brother go to Father Emperor's side?"

"Royal father said that there are young people here, let me come over to preside over the overall situation." Fu Su said with a smile.

"Preside over the overall situation? What's the point of presiding? Today's siege will be compared to who hunts more. Big brother, don't lose to me later!"

"Okay, let's compare later."

Fusu smiled, then turned to look at the children from various families who were eager to try, and waved: "Let's go!"

"Boom~~~"

As soon as Fusu's words fell, the children of each family rushed to the hunting ground with their teams.

That momentum is no less than a war.

"This"

Fusu was obviously taken aback, as if he hadn't expected this scene.

Seeing this, Zhao Kun joked a little funny: "It seems that elder brother still doesn't understand the hearts of young people!"

"As long as you understand."

"That is, I am the real young man."

"Ah."

Fu Su snorted and said with a smile: "The young man works hard, let's see if he can return with a full reward today."

"I heard that there were very few hunting activities in the past few years, so the animals here are recuperating, and the number is much higher than in previous years, so it must be no problem to return with a full load!"

"It's reasonable, but there are quite a few hunting teams 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 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, fight."

As Zhao Kun led the team away, Fu Su also led the team and rode away in another direction.

Not long after, Zhao Kun's team arrived at the riverbed pointed by Jiang Chao.

As soon as they got close to the riverbed, the hounds following the team barked wildly, which was undoubtedly a signal of finding prey.

It was the first time for Zhao Kun to participate in a hunting activity, so he couldn't help being a little nervous, and hurriedly signaled to the hunter behind him; "Go!"

The hunter who raised the hounds had already discovered the situation, and when Zhao Kun's words fell, he rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Zhao Kun stayed where he was, only seeing people and horses galloping, and hounds galloping, but he never found any trace of the prey.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Chao was a little amused, and then said, "My lord, I'm going too."

"Go, go!" Zhao Kun waved his hands while looking around.

Jiang Chao rode his horse and rushed out with a whoosh, just like overtaking on a curve in a motorcycle track. It was obvious that he had found his target.

Sure enough, when the hunters saw that Jiang Chao was leading the charge, they immediately changed direction and followed him.

When the hunters approached, Jiang Chao had already raised his prey and shouted at Zhao Kun: "Master, eat roasted rabbit tonight!"

"Baked rabbit?"

Zhao Kun froze for a moment, squinted his eyes, and saw the live hare in Jiang Chao's hands, and thought, this is too fast!

However, although he didn't participate in the hunting in person, he was very happy when he came out to gain something, so he responded to Jiang Chao: "Good job, show me the rabbit!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Chao responded and immediately rode back to the team.

Zhao Kun got off his horse and ran to Jiang Chao to check the hare.

To his surprise, the hare was even bigger than he had imagined.

"Do you want to eat roasted rabbit?"

Zhao Kun looked at the rabbit, then at Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao nodded fiercely: "Eat!"

"Okay, let's eat here."

"Eat here?"

Jiang Chao was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't react.

Zhou Kui hurriedly reminded, "My lord, it's best to bring the prey back to the camp to eat."

"Why?" Zhao Kun was a little puzzled: "The prey must be fresh to taste, what if it dies when you bring it back!"

"No, we are only starting now. If we delay here, it may be difficult to return with a full load today."

"Aren't you stupid? Returning with a full load is just talking casually. Let's just have fun. You can continue hunting. Jiang Wa'er and I are waiting for you here!"

"But."

"Okay, don't be fooled, don't go too far, take it back if you have something to gain, we will make a good meal, and wait for you here!"

Zhao Kun waved his hand, and Zhou Kui left with the hunters helplessly.

The brothers of the Wu family didn't enjoy themselves, so they followed suit.

Only Jiang Chao, Zhao Kun, and a few guards and attendants were left here.

Under Zhao Kun's command, the guards cleaned up the hare. Jiang Chao led his attendants and lit the bonfire.

The temporary camp by the river bed gradually took shape, and the hunters had new harvests.

"Young master, look at how many pheasants we caught!"

The Wu family brothers had two pheasants in their hands, showing off to Zhao Kun excitedly.

When Zhao Kun saw the pheasant, his eyes lit up, and he joked with a smile: "Did you bring a pheasant nest? So many pheasants!"

"Those hounds are not bad, they have very good noses, and they led us to find these pheasants!"

"Yes, yes, those hounds are really powerful!"

Hearing what the Wu family brothers said and I praised the hound, Zhao Kun stepped forward and found that there was no obvious scar on the pheasant, which meant that the hound just surrounded the pheasant and did not bite them.

It can be seen that the hounds are well trained.

"Oh, by the way, young master, do you want to eat these pheasants today?" Wu Zhong asked suddenly.

"If you don't save it for today, why don't you save it for the Chinese New Year?"

Zhao Kun said a little funny: "Go and deal with it quickly, wait for me to tell you how to eat!"

"it is good!"

The Wu family brothers responded, and immediately ran to the river to clean up the pheasants.

Seeing this, Jiang Chao stepped forward curiously: "My lord, there are already roasted hares, can this pheasant be roasted?"

"Although this pheasant is fatter than a hare, its meat is firm and it doesn't taste good when roasted. The best thing is the stew!" Zhao Kun shook his head.

"Stewed soup?" Jiang Chao was a little disappointed: "When I came out, I didn't want to eat here, so I didn't bring the pot!"

"If you don't have a pot, can't you eat it in different ways?"

Zhao Kun glanced at Jiang Chao amusedly, then looked around, and soon found a piece of lush green plants, walked over to see, it turned out to be wild taro.

Although wild taro can't be eaten randomly, the leaves are very useful.

"Jiang Wa'er, go and cut some taro leaves and bring them back."

Zhao Kun greeted Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao didn't ask any further questions, just picked up the short knife and cut off a large handful of taro leaves.

These taro leaves are very large, similar to lotus leaves. The key is that in autumn, only the taro leaves remain emerald green in this area.

In Zhao Kun's view, it is lucky to be able to obtain such materials in the wild.

"Why are you cutting these taro leaves?"

"Of course it's a beggar's chicken!"

"Pheasant can also be called beggar's chicken?"

"As long as it's chicken, you can do it!"

"Okay, then I'll get some mud over here!"

"Yes, not only can you eat, but you can also cook!" Zhao Kun looked at Jiang Chao in surprise.

Jiang Chao laughed and said, "When I went to the kitchen before, I happened to see the cook making beggar's chicken, so I know a little bit!"

"Why are you running to the kitchen when you have nothing to do? Stealing food again?"

"No, I'm just hungry and looking for something to eat!"

"You can do it!" Zhao Kun gave Jiang Chao a white look, and said, "Go, get some more mud, and make all those pheasants!"

"it is good."

Jiang Chao responded and quickly ran out.

Zhao Kun continued to instruct the brothers of the Wu family: "Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, you guys go build a fire again, make the fire a little hotter, and the others go and collect more dry firewood!"

It didn't take long before all the materials were ready.

Zhao Kun demonstrated by himself, put the cleaned pheasant on the emerald green taro leaves, spread the seasoning evenly, pour all the onions, ginger and garlic into the chicken belly, then wrap it with taro leaves, smear it with mud, and form an oval shape Shaped mud ball.

After finishing one, he said to the Wu family brothers and Jiang Chao again; "Have you all seen clearly?"

"See it clearly!"

The three spoke in unison.

Zhao Kun nodded: "The rest, I will leave it to you."

"it is good."

The three of them responded, and quickly squatted on the ground. According to Zhao Kun's procedure, first spread the seasoning, wrap it with taro leaves, and then tie it with hemp rope. When the pheasant is airtight, apply mud to turn the pheasant into a mud ball .

"My lord, can the roasted chicken made in this way be eaten?" Uncle Wu looked at the lump of mud in his hand and asked with some doubts.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Before Zhao Kun could answer, Jiang Chao on the side quickly directed: "Put the mud ball into the fire!"

"Put it in the fire?"

"Yeah, what are you still doing, put it in!"

The open fire in the fire was gone, there were only sporadic charcoal fire, and it was just right to put it in at this time.

Jiang Chao had lived in the mountains and forests for a period of time, so he naturally knew the best time for the fire, so he hurriedly urged the Wu family brothers.

Although the Wu family brothers didn't understand, they did it anyway.

But when they put the mud ball into the fire, the moisture on the surface of the mud ball was quickly dried, making the mud ball gray.

Not long after, cracks appeared again.

The next time is waiting.

During the waiting period, the hunters came back one after another.

Looking at the prey in their hands, it can be regarded as a good harvest.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's take a break first!" Zhao Kun greeted them, and then said to the Wu family brothers: "Wu Zhong, Uncle Wu, share the wine I brought with you!"

"Good son."

The Wu family brothers responded and immediately went to fetch the wine.

Zhou Kui took a jug of wine, walked up to Zhao Kun, and said in a low voice, "My lord, the weather in the mountains is cool, would you like some wine to warm up?"

"I'll drink it later!" Zhao Kun lay on his back on the hillside, closed his eyes and said, "Now there is still the sun, let's squint for a while."

It takes a long time to cook the beggar's chicken, and he doesn't have the patience to wait, so he just sleeps.

With the advent of autumn, the weather is gradually getting colder, and the sun is shining during the day, which is just right for sleeping.

Seeing that Zhao Kun didn't say any more, and Zhou Kui didn't want to disturb him, he put down the jug and stepped aside.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A group of people is moving forward slowly, it seems that they are not hunting, but looking for someone.

On one of the white horses, a pretty woman looked around.

Behind her, there was a heroic woman looking at her helplessly.

"Yamei, it's hunting time now, young master and the others should be hunting, you can't find him!" Lan Yufei said suddenly.

"I heard that he was injured, so he didn't attend the banquet last night." Wang Ya looked back at Lan Yufei, and said worriedly, "Why is he still hunting? What if the injury gets worse?"

"puff"

Hearing Wang Ya's words, Lan Yufei suddenly burst out laughing, and immediately stepped forward: "You, it's hopeless, you were arguing to go to his tent last night, and you came to the hunting ground today, do you really like him so much?"

"He is my husband, of course I like him!"

"Hey, they're all called Husbands now, aren't they married yet?"

"Oh!" Wang Ya blushed shyly, and said angrily; "Sister Yufei, stop laughing at me, tell me, where can we find him now?"

"This place is quite big, and it's my first time here!"

As Lan Yufei said, she looked around, frowned and said, "If I had known this, I should have let that fellow Wang Li follow me!"

"What now?"

"Um"

Lan Yufei thought for a while and said, "It's almost noon now, why don't we go back to the camp first, maybe he has already gone back."

"But."

Wang Ya bit her lip hesitantly, as if she still didn't want to go back.

Seeing her like this, Lan Yufei was about to persuade her again, when suddenly, someone reminded her, "Miss, someone is lighting a fire on the other side of the river bed!"

"Ok?"

Lan Yufei was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found a wisp of green smoke rising.

"Why is someone lighting a fire here?"

"Want to see it?"

"Need not!"

Lan Yufei waved her hand and said, "One more thing is worse than one less thing. We don't know where they came from in the barren mountains and mountains."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and looked at Wang Ya: "Let's go, Yamei."

"Ah."

Wang Ya nodded, and was about to steer the horse to leave.

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded familiar to my ears.

"Sister Yufei, I seem to have heard the young master's voice." Wang Ya said excitedly.

Lan Yufei tilted her head: "Why didn't I hear it, did you hear it wrong?"

"No, absolutely not wrong!"

Wang Ya said something firmly, and then said to Lan Yufei: "Sister Yufei, you are waiting for me here, I will go and have a look and come back!"

After the voice fell, he rode away directly.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Seeing Wang Ya leaving as soon as she said, Lan Yufei hurriedly shouted at her.

But Wang Ya didn't wait for her at all, and ran away in a hurry.

"Quick, catch up!"
