After a day's journey, everyone finally arrived near a small river when it was getting dark.

Although the river is very shallow, the water source is running water flowing from the nearby mountains, and the water quality is very clear.

Jiang Cidao: "Let's camp here tonight."

Yan Shu looked around and saw a flat open space beside the river. Not far away was a large mountain. The most important things on the mountain were firewood and game. It was indeed a good place to set up camp.

Seeing Jiang Ci's team stop, the Liu family and Cai family also found a place to camp nearby.

Yan Huai and Wu Ming lit the fire, while Huan Ying led a group of men to the nearby mountains, hoping to catch a few more prey so they could roast them with the wild goat in the evening.

At present, Yan Shu is the only person in their team who can cook, so she will naturally cook the barbecue, but the handling of the goats will be left to the disciples of the Xuan Zongmen.

They were very active in cleaning the wild goat. After skinning the goat and removing its internal organs, only about thirty kilograms were left. After removing the bones, only twenty kilograms of pure meat was left. More than fifty people wanted to eat to their heart's content. It is impossible.

However, the most important thing in this team is hunting experts. More than 20 young people who are good at hunting ran to the mountain and returned with a full harvest in less than half an hour.

This time they brought back several pheasants and a dozen unknown birds. The birds were about the same size as pigeons and were mostly meat.

The boys who didn't go hunting wisely took the prey to the river for processing, cleaned it and put it into the sink, then carried it back to the fire and waited for Yan Shu to marinate it.

While everyone was processing the prey, Yan Shu marinated the mutton. The mutton smell of goat meat was relatively strong, so more seasoning was needed when marinating. She took out a pack of ready-made marinated meat buns from the space. Apply evenly on the surface of the mutton, cut two more onions, put them into the mutton pieces and rub them for a while.

Jiang Ci and Yan Huai sat next to Yan Shu, whittled a dozen wooden sticks as thick as their thumbs, sharpened one end, and carefully seasoned all the mutton according to Yan Shu's instructions.

Yan Shu roasted the mutton over the fire, brushing a thin layer of oil on it from time to time. The skin of the mutton soon began to sizzle with oil, and the aroma of the meat wafted far away, attracting the Liu and Cai families to look here from time to time. .

Because there was too much meat, Huanying ordered his men to light a few more fires. After Yan Shu had marinated the chicken and bird meat, they started to roast it on the fire themselves according to Yan Shu's barbecue method.

Whether the barbecue is delicious or not is important in the marinating process. Yan Shu takes care of the first step, and it is much easier to put the barbecue on the fire.

Liu Yunzhao and Cai Wenjie ran over smelling the fragrance. It was hard for them to come empty-handed. Liu Yunzhao was carrying two jars of wine, and Cai Wenjie was carrying two big fish.

"Brother Mubai, do you mind if we join in the fun?"

Jiang Ci picked up a bunch of freshly roasted lamb legs and threw them to them.

"Do it yourself."

"It's easy to say, I'm good at this."

Liu Yunzhao handed the two jars of wine to Huanying who was standing aside, took the lamb leg and started roasting it with enthusiasm.

Huan Ying sniffed and praised, "What a great wine."

Liu Yunzhao raised his eyebrows proudly: "This is the finest daughter's red. My old man has been saving it for many years. I want to give it to my brothers to try."

Huan Ying looked at Jiang Ci inquiringly, and after Jiang Ci nodded in agreement, Huan Ying excitedly picked up a jar of wine and ran to share it with her brothers.

Cai Wenjie handed the two fish to Yan Shu.

"I've heard Brother Mu Bai praise Miss Yan's craftsmanship a long time ago. I wonder if I can have a taste today?"

Yan Shu smiled and reached out to take the two big fish, one weighed about ten kilograms, and the two weighed a full twenty kilograms.

"The weather is getting colder. Let's use these two fish to stew fish soup. It will keep everyone warm."

"Miss Yan, just watch and do it."

"Okay, I'll go take care of the fish."

Jiang Ci handed the mutton being grilled to Yan Huai, then stood up and walked to Yan Shu's side.

"The river is cold, let me do it."

Yan Shu said: "Then let's go together. It's faster for two of us."

Jiang Ci didn't respond and looked at Cai Wenjie.

Cai Wenjie took the fish from Yan Shu's hand very wisely: "Look at me for being so careless. The river water is very cold and icy at this time of year, so let us do this kind of work."

Since someone took the initiative to kill the fish, Yan Shu would not take the credit: "Then I will prepare some ingredients for making fish soup."

After saying this, Yan Shu walked towards the carriage.

Jiang Ci and Cai Wenjie went to the small river together. Cai Wenjie looked at the fish in his hand and felt a little confused. This was the first time in his life that he had to scrape the scales and remove the internal organs of a fish. He didn't know how to do it at all.

In the past, Jiang Ci would take the initiative to help with the fish at home. He was very familiar with how to scrape the fish scales and clean the internal organs. Cai Wenjie could only watch Jiang Ci do it and learn it at the same time. In the end, he managed to clean the whole fish.

Yan Shu got on the carriage and took out a few white radishes from the space. As soon as she got off the carriage, two figures came towards her.

One of them was a woman over fifty years old, and beside her was a pretty girl. Yan Shu recognized them at a glance as Liu Yunzhao's mother and third sister Liu Yuanxin.

Mrs. Liu walked up to Yan Shu with a smile on her face: "Miss Yan."

"Is there something wrong with Mrs. Liu?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Thanks to your rescue during the day, we were able to get out of danger. We didn't bring any decent gifts when we went out. These snacks were just made by my cook, and I wanted to give them to everyone. Taste it.”

"Mrs. Liu, you're welcome. Mr. Liu and my brother-in-law are close classmates. If I encounter you on the road and you are in danger, I will help you. Mrs. Liu need not worry about this."

Mrs. Liu put the basket of snacks into Yan Shu's hand: "This is our little thought. Miss Yan, just don't take offense."

Yan Shu glanced at the basket, smiled and praised: "The pastries look very good. You can make such beautiful snacks outdoors. The cook in your house is a very ingenious person."

Liu Yuanxin on the side said softly: "If Sister Yan and Mr. Jiang like it, I will ask my cook to cook it for you from now on."

Yan Shu looked at Liu Yuanxin. The little girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a pair of bright almond eyes on her round face. Although she was not particularly beautiful, she gave people a very comfortable affinity.

"Then I'll thank the third girl first."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "If you like to eat, don't be polite. I think you are not very old, and you should be about the same age as Xin'er. From now on, you can interact more."

Yan Shu and Mrs. Liu exchanged polite words. At this time, Jiang Ci and Cai Wenjie came back with the prepared fish. Yan Shu thought that she always had to be polite when people took the initiative to bring snacks.

"Mrs. Liu and Miss Liu, if you haven't eaten yet, please stay and eat together."

Madam Liu and Liu Yuanxin looked at Jiang Ci at the same time. Madam Liu smiled and said, "We have already eaten, so we won't bother you anymore."

Yan Shu said: "Then I won't keep you."

After Mrs. Liu and Liu Yuanxin left, Yan Shu walked back to the fire and started preparing fish soup.

Stewing fish soup is also very simple. The firewood is very strong and the fish is easy to cook. A pot of fragrant fish soup is ready in less than half an hour.

At this time, the mutton, chicken, and bird meat are also cooked.

After being marinated by Yan Shu, the roasted mutton has almost no smell and tastes very good.

Liu Yunzhao, Cai Wenjie and Jiang Ci hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they all drank a little today. Even Yan Huai, a teetotaler, drank half a bowl of mutton.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yunzhao was already a little tipsy.

He looked at Yan Shu with a smile, picked up the empty bowl on the side and poured half a glass of wine for Yan Shu.

"Being able to eat such delicious mutton and drink such delicious fish soup is all thanks to Miss Yan. Miss Yan, we would like to toast you."

Yan Shu only drank peach blossom wine once since he got through the book. At that time, he thought the wine was sweet and delicious, but it tasted very high and he drank it for some reason.

She was obviously a pretty good drinker in her previous life, but she didn't know if it was because her body wasn't good enough, so she wanted to give it another try.

So Yan Shu reached out and took the wine bowl.

Liu Yunzhao smiled like a fool, and Cai Wenjie on the side also picked up the wine bowl: "I also respect Miss Yan."

Jiang Ci looked at Yan Shu with unclear meaning: "Sister-in-law, are you sure you want to drink?"

Yan Shu nodded: "If you drink less, you should be fine. If you get drunk, I will go back to the carriage and sleep."

She thought her wine was pretty good, not to mention that she wouldn't be able to get drunk after just half a bowl of wine.

Jiang Ci said no more and had no intention of stopping her.

Yan Shu happily took a sip of the wine and secretly praised it in his heart. It was indeed a top-quality daughter's red. Even someone like her who didn't know how to taste wine could drink it with a refreshing fragrance. It was more spicy than peach blossom wine. , but the more you drink, the more you think about it and it becomes addictive.

After finishing less than half a bowl of wine, Yan Shu felt warm all over, a wave of heat was flowing around his body, his cheeks were slightly red, and his whole head was a little dizzy.

Yan Shu blinked her drunken eyes. She realized that she was drunk, so she said to Jiang Ci.

"I'm a little sleepy. I want to... go back to the carriage and rest first."

Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Shu's crimson cheeks and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

He didn't tell her just now that the two jars of Nuerhong that Mr. Liu saved were extremely strong wine...
