Chapter 232 Hunting

Yan Shoulu led the army across the bridge.The soldier who had just completed the mission of the nest bandits still had a murderous look on his body, and the expressions of the officials immediately became solemn, and their whole bodies were tense.

"Why come back at this time?" Zhong Shuling was a little strange.

"I set off late yesterday, so I set up camp halfway. If I set off again this morning, I will meet you just in time," Yan Shoulu said.

The magistrates saluted together, and some of their voices were still trembling.

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

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

Yan Shoulu raised his eyebrows: "So cruel?"

"That place must be cleaned up. There are no animals and no trees will be affected." Wu Zhongsu said.

"It's just right, we have strength now. Let's go then."

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

Xiao Gonggong paid a visit to Yan Shoulu.Yan Shoulu replied: "Eunuch Xiao? What brought you here?"

Eunuch Xiao laughed and said, "The Holy One ordered me to come here, to announce the decree to the Lord of Changping Township."

Yan Shoulu looked surprised: "Mr. Changping?"

"The sage granted Miss Chen Fan the Lord of Changping Township, and this area is assigned to Changping Township. So is Yongshan."

Yan Shoulu suddenly realized: "It's just a matter of time to buy some game. The wild animals in Langshan were almost wiped out by the bandits, and we didn't even eat a few bites of wild rabbits."

The officials all went to Qingshan Village by boat.Looking at those short mountains, many people showed suspicion.

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

Tigers in this era are still called tigers, so there is no need to shy away from it.

The soldiers gave each official a bow and a quiver full of arrows, and thoughtfully gave each of them a broadsword.

Yan Shoulu gestured a few times, and the soldiers began to march around the mountain.

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

After turning over two hills, I saw hares scurrying in the grass.The officials became excited, and even though some arrows fell on the ground halfway, they still laughed hahaha.

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

Some soldiers followed to replenish their arrows.Several county magistrates were holding the hare, grinning so happily that the corners of their mouths reached to the ears: "Hahahaha, I actually hold such a hare with my own hands."

The deeper you go in the forest, the more wild animals there will be.The officials also became bold and slashed straight with their big knives. It didn't matter if they couldn't cut it.I dare not run, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and it is not convenient to run.

Chen Fan took a few frail officials to pull wild vegetables.

Dandelions can be seen everywhere. In winter, new green leaves grow, which is the time to eat them.There are wild celery in the wetland by the water, which grows very vigorously.Plantain is also common on the side of the field ridge on the hillside.I also found a lot of bitter herbs.

After two hours of fun, each official had wild animals in his hands, including pheasant, hare, deer and roe deer, as well as deer and wild boar.

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

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

"I don't know if there are any tigers hunted there." They only turned around a small area.

We found an open space with spring water.The soldiers put up pots, washed wild vegetables, picked up branches, and killed butchers, all smiling.

The advantage of the Huotou army following here is that there are enough pots and pans.The officials couldn't bear to see the knife go in, but they could watch the deer's blood flow into the basin excitedly.

The soldiers carried 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 again and again, and some people took the bowl, but looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Just drink like this?"

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

Those people didn't hesitate any more, they raised their heads and did it all. They all closed their eyes, pursed their lips, and wrinkled their entire faces.

"Lie!" Someone slowed down first and boasted.

"There is a wave of energy circulating in the whole body." Do you want to be so exaggerated?

There are also those who have a strong reaction, and they are swallowing vigorously, resisting the feeling of discomfort.

"Give me the wild boar stomach, it will cure stomach problems." Chen Fan said to a soldier.

The soldier readily agreed.

"Does wild boar have a fishy smell?"

"Yes, it is very heavy, but the meat is delicious." The soldiers were both disgusted and yearning.

"I have a way. First cut into small pieces and soak them in water to wash away impurities and blood, then apply a layer of white wine, add ginger slices and green onions, and let it stand for two quarters of an hour to remove some fishy smell. Burned When it’s time, put some star anise and Chinese prickly ash and stir it, and cook until it’s thoroughly cooked.”

"So troublesome?"

"Is it okay? I haven't said to marinate for an hour, and I haven't said to boil it on a low heat for a while before rubbing and washing it." That would be too time-consuming, and everyone couldn't wait.

"Ms. Chen often does it?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "I don't eat wild game, but I am familiar with cooking and know some ways to deal with it."

Chen Fan rubbed the wild boar belly clean with salt, stuffed ginger slices and peppercorns, and sewed up the opening with a needle and thread.Find a pot and add water to cook the soup.

The wild vegetables are blanched in boiling water, or served cold, or boiled in soup.

Some officials gathered around to watch the soldiers roast pheasants and hares, standing, squatting and sitting, completely lacking the old style.

The soldiers were willing to put seasonings, and the pheasant and hare were roasted until they were shiny and full of fragrance. When they took a bite, they were so fresh and tender that the eyes of those who ate them narrowed.

The venison was grilled on a thin stone slab, clean and sizzling with oil.Both Chen Fan and Yan Shoulu prepared wine, and the men enjoyed the venison and the wine.

Chen Fan took out the ginger slices and pepper in the pork belly, and sliced ​​the pork belly.Several officials took some slices of meat and scooped up a bowl of soup.They have just heard that wild boar belly can cure stomach problems.

The barbecue was almost done, and the wild boar was overcooked. It was fragrant and had no fishy smell.The soldiers ate the meat in big mouthfuls, and drank soup and snorted.

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

"It's not 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, I went to hand over the rice.

Seeing the sacks of rice being moved out of the house and poured into their respective prepared sacks, the officials rubbed their hands excitedly.

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

"Sure enough, they are all good seeds. They are plump and bigger than the usual millet."

After filling a bag, it will be weighed, and the bag will be sealed after weighing. 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.
