Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 107 Grilled Fish
The old man's birthday has also passed, and the children are naturally still able to read and write normally, plus the mountains and rivers.Mr. Yuan intends to strengthen the training of the children, so he takes the children into the mountains every morning to hunt in order to train the children in archery skills, and even Yuxian has to follow.After entering the mountain for three consecutive days, it was already the third day of May. Yuan Qingyun let the children move freely today.Yun Song went to the town early in the morning to sell all the prey the children hunted yesterday. There is not much work in the field now, and the young seedlings have just emerged.

Da Lang led his younger siblings to the mountain to look at the harness that was put down yesterday, and it really was a rabbit.Everyone walked back with the rabbit, and after putting the rabbit home, they went to the river again.Dalang and the others made a basket made of wicker, with a big belly and a small mouth, and put a horn-shaped thing upside down in the mouth. Put some cake residues in the basket, so that the fish will get into the basket if they are attracted by the food, but they can't get out.When Yuxian was looking at this thing, she remembered the kind of fish dock she made when she was a child in her previous life.It is a bottle made of canned fruit, with a trumpet-shaped thing rolled out of linoleum paper tied to the mouth of the bottle. It is also used for food and is used for docking fish. It is similar to the one I see now.There is a rope tied to the fish dock, just tie the other end of the rope to a willow tree by the river. After a while, pull the rope to lift the fish dock up again, and you can see some small fish inside.

Dalang and the others brought a special basin from home to hold the fish, and put the fish into the basin as soon as they came out, and then the big guys worked together to squeeze all the small fish.Yuxian brought salt, marinated the fish, and then put it on the big rock, and it was almost dry before noon.

Yuxian took a few fish, hit them lightly with a stone, and then helped them to the willow branch.Find another big rock near the middle of the river, sit on the rock, stretch the willow branch tied with the fish into the river, and wait patiently.After a while, the willow branch sank, Yuxian quickly pulled the willow branch up, and a big crayfish was hoisted up, and the crayfish that was hoisted up like this was very big.Fang Haoyu followed Yuxian all the time, and when he saw Yuxian getting up and eating crickets, he hurried forward to pick off the crickets and put them in a bucket.Then he took the willow branch from Yuxian's hand, "I'll come, you rest for a while."

Yuxian stepped on the stone and walked back to the river, and saw some slightly larger fish in the basin, about the size of an adult's palm. "Brother, how about we grill fish by the river?"

"Yuxian, we have to go back and ask our father about this matter. My father said before that fire is not allowed in the wild. We grow in the mountains and forests, and we must pay attention to fire prevention. The mountains and forests are our lifeblood, especially in autumn when the leaves fall. Until the leaves grow back in the spring. During this period of time, the most attention is paid, and someone in the village will watch, and anyone who starts a fire in the wild will be punished." Da Lang explained to his sister.

After hearing this, Yu Xian understood that these were the people who lived here, and they used their primitive ideas to prevent fire. It seems that the ancients had a good awareness of fire prevention. "Brother, we are by the river, besides, the trees are already green now, so it should be fine."

"No, let's go back to our house and go to the backyard. Let's roast that rabbit and call Master." Da Lang refused.

"Okay, let's get some more fish. Brother, you also follow what I did just now, hang some big crickets, and let's cook the crickets to eat." Yuxian thought for a while, and it's better not to cause trouble, and roasting it at home is also good .

"Okay, you can collect the dried fish we dried, and let your mother dry it again when you go back. It's a good thing in winter."

Yuxian listened to her elder brother's words and went to pick up small fish on the rocks.In fact, there are some children from the village by the river, but they are a little far away. Maybe I dare not mess with them, so I stay far away.Fortunately, there are plenty of places, and there are many fish in the river, and fish can be caught anywhere.

After a while, everyone took out all the docks, poured all the fish in the basins, then Xiaosan and Boyuan carried the basins, Dalang carried the crayfish bucket, and Bowen carried the dried fish Everyone returned to Tong's house.Da Lang led his younger siblings to clean up the fish, and Xiao San went into the yard at the end to make a fire and set up a shelf.Everyone wore the fish with sticks and roasted it on the fire.The rabbit brought back in the morning was also disembowelled and cleaned up.Yu Xian rubbed salt on the inside and outside of the rabbit, and handed it to Da Lang to roast.Mr. Yuan also came, and he was very happy to see the children so happy.It didn't take long for the fish to be grilled, and the children all rushed to pass the fish to Mr. Yuan, making Yuan Qingyun happy from ear to ear. "Okay, okay, master just wants one." He took a fish and sat at the table that the children had set up long ago. On the table was a jug of wine brought by Yuxian.Yuan Qingyun took a bite of the fish, drank another sip of wine, and looked at the busy children, feeling infinitely satisfied.

After the rabbit was roasted, Da Lang brought it to Yuan Qingyun, "Master, how about this roasted rabbit meat?" He said, tore off a thigh and handed it to Yuan Qingyun.

"Da Lang, just a rabbit, keep it for you to eat, master can drink."

"Master, we are just kidding, you can eat it." Several children nearby said.

"Okay, master, eat it. This is my apprentice's filial piety. Eat it." Yuan Qingyun picked up the rabbit leg and took a bite. "Well, not bad, quite fragrant."

The children put the grilled fish and crayfish on the table, and everyone gathered around, "Have you gone to invite your parents?"

"I went just now, and said I'll be here in a while, look, isn't that coming?"

As soon as Yun Song came back from going to town, the children invited him and Mrs. Fang to the backyard.When the two came to the backyard, they saw that everyone was having fun, and there were fish, crayfish, and rabbit meat on the table. "If I had known that you were going to roast rabbits today, I would have kept two, which is a bit small." Yun Song said regretfully.

"Uncle, we are just joking around, and we don't really want to eat rabbit meat, it's so much fun." Bo Chao said to Yun Song.

"Okay, let's make a fire in the yard in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and prepare more food for roasting." Fang also became interested.

There was only one rabbit with two hind legs, one for Yuan Qingyun and the other for Yuxian.The two front legs were given to Haoyu and Bo Chao, and everyone shared the rest and each ate a piece.Fortunately, there were a lot of fish, and Yun Song and Fang Shi also helped to grill the fish and crayfish. Finally, everyone couldn't eat any more, so they stopped.Seeing the mess all over the place, everyone laughed.

"Okay, you all go to wash your hands and faces. One by one, you've all turned into cats. I'll clean them up here." Looking at the children's gaudy little faces, Fang couldn't help laughing.

Dalang still led his younger siblings to clean up the trash before going back to the front, washing his hands and face, and then went to the study.

Fucheng, Xuefuli.The old lady Xue was angry with Xue Jinyu. "You said you, what kind of books are you sending your children to Yanjiang Village to study? How capable is that Mr. Yuan, if he has the ability, he will use it to your brother-in-law's house? You are better than sending the children to suffer."

Jinyu has long been used to making troubles with her mother for only three days, but for five days.Since leaving the three children in Yanjiang Village, the old lady has been making noises from time to time. "Mother, then Mr. Yuan is a very capable person. It is Bowen's blessing that he can teach Bowen and them. You read the letter from Bowen a few days ago, they are doing well there, eating and playing, practicing martial arts in the morning, Studying in the afternoon. Mr. Yuan often takes them to hunt, and sometimes he goes up to the mountains to collect herbs, and goes down the river to catch fish and crickets. It’s not much more fun than they are in the city. Mother, you miss your child, don’t I already Let Xue Ping go, pick the three of them back and play for a few days. You can't delay their studies just because you miss your grandson."

"Look at what's written in the letter. Bowen and the others still work in the fields and plant the land. They haven't even done any rough work at home. Your sister and brother-in-law are also cruel enough, so young children let them Going to farm, what if I am exhausted? I don’t care, you quickly bring my grandson back, I can’t let them suffer there.” When Mrs. Xue heard the news, her heart ached even more.

"Mother, spoiling a child is like killing a child. In the past, you have been used to it all day long, and these three children are almost lawless. The eldest is hanging out with a group of cronies all day long, and he doesn't read well. They are only old, but they are full of dandy habits. The third child is mischievous every day, making the family run wild and restless. Mother, if this continues, no matter how much the son earns, it will not be enough for them Lost. Now that they are all sensible and know that life is difficult, they can still help with work. I am too happy. I can't pick them up, let them hone their skills there." After finishing speaking, Jinyu Turn around and walk out. "Mother, if you have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk. I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

When the old lady saw Xue Jinyu go out, she was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand so hard that it fell into pieces all over the floor. "You bastard, I'm so mad."

Xue Jinyu returned to the bamboo courtyard angrily. Bilian was coaxing the child. Seeing him like that, she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's not our mother, insisting on asking me to bring Bowen and the others back. She said that they had suffered from the eldest sister, and then blamed the elder sister for letting the children work. I said that it is a good thing for the children to work. She didn't listen, I really I don't know what to say." Jinyu put his arms around his wife's shoulders, and said weakly, "I don't understand, it's obviously good for the child, why doesn't our mother want it?"

"Our mother is also thinking of a child, so you don't have to worry about it, the mother will understand in the future, by the way, have you sent all the gifts for our sister?" Bi Lian persuaded her husband.

"Send it off, Xue Ping left yesterday, and I guess he will arrive tomorrow morning."
