Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Others wove simple nets from branches and vines in the grass and placed some food underneath as bait. After a while, a sleek red fox approached cautiously following the scent of food.

It was seen observing its surroundings vigilantly, approaching cautiously with three steps in between. However, even with such caution, it was still no match for the strong attraction of the sweet temptation of wild honey.

Everyone hiding in a secluded place held their breath, waiting for the moment when the prey stepped into the trap. The net quickly tightened, and the fox in the net struggled desperately in the net, making shrill cries, but how could it easily escape from such an elaborately set trap?

The upper reaches of the mountain stream are the best hunting spots where mountain animals often appear.

Several guards spotted a group of wild goats leisurely drinking water. They exchanged glances with each other and did not use bows and crossbows to attack. Instead, they stood on tiptoe, quietly went around the back of the goat herd, penetrated the cover of trees and grass leaves, and slowly approached.

Suddenly, a man gathered his strength and flew towards a half-grown wild goat like an arrow. The wild goat was frightened and bleated. The frightened goats immediately became chaotic and fled in all directions.

Others quickly took action, some holding the sheep's legs, some using ropes to tie the sheep's horns, pulling with all their strength, trying to pin the sheep under them and control their movements.

The wild goat was held down by a group of people and bleated in fear. It struggled hard, kicking its four hooves and splashing a cloud of dust.

Several larger goats were particularly ferocious. In the process of struggling, they dragged the guards who were tied with ropes for a long distance. People who had free hands gathered around to help. Some rushed forward and clamped the goats' horns tightly with both hands, some pressed down the goats' bodies with their whole body weight, and some held on to the ropes tightly.

The scene was muddy and chaotic, with flying dust, shouts and bleating of sheep mixed together.

Some of them chased the fleeing goat and had too much fun, accidentally knocking down a beehive on a short tree, which attracted angry bees to swarm out and attack them fiercely.

The guard who was stung had a red and swollen face and ran away screaming.

In a panic, one of them accidentally stepped on a loose stone, slipped, lost his balance, and rolled down the hillside. His companions were horrified and rushed forward to rescue him, shouting.

Fortunately, there was a big tree on the hillside that stopped the guard from rolling down. After he was pulled up by the crowd, they found that he only suffered some minor injuries. The crowd, who were more frightened than him, were so angry that they pinned the man down and beat him up.

In the end, although everyone was exhausted and panting, covered in sweat and mud, and had several bloody cuts on their bodies, they harvested 8 wild goats, which was a good record.

After a crazy day of fun, it was Shenshi (16: p.m.) and everyone was sweating and hungry. Lin Xiaoyue blew the whistle to call everyone to gather.

Everyone piled up their harvest and checked them out, and found that the spoils from the day were quite a lot. More than a dozen nests of bird eggs, six baskets of fish, shellfish and shrimp, a bunch of wild fruits and vegetables, a fox, three silly roe deer, eight wild goats, and three wild boars. All of these together were enough for more than 300 people to make do with a barbecue.

They cleared a large open area by the stream, built a stove, washed pots, lit a fire, and slaughtered animals. They divided the work in an orderly manner, laughed and busied themselves with work.

When dusk fell, everyone lit a bonfire on the top of the mountain and started a grand barbecue party.

As the blazing bonfire burned more and more vigorously, the flames illuminated everyone's excited faces.

Because we brought all the pots, pans, chopsticks and other things with us before going up the mountain, so while we were grilling meat on the top of the mountain, more than 30 large pots were set up in a row for frying vegetables, stewing bone soup, fish head soup, and egg drop soup, and they were also emitting steam at the same time.

More than three hundred people gathered on the top of the mountain, chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was so lively that their joy could be felt from a distance.

The skewered roe deer, roasted whole lamb, and roasted wild boar have golden brown skin, sizzling with oil, and are sprinkled with barbecue seasoning, making the aroma even more tempting and stimulating.

Some of them couldn't help but wipe their mouths and drooled.

"Auntie, your cooking skills are no worse than those of the chefs in our cooking group."

"Just smelling this, I am so excited that tears are streaming down my face. I can't take it anymore. I am dying of greed."

More than a dozen grills formed a big circle, turning slowly like windmills. People sitting nearby, waiting to eat the meat like wolves and tigers, drooled as they watched one of the roasted whole lamb being taken down from the rack. However, before anyone could pounce on it, the roasted whole lamb was put back on the grill again.

……

Everyone was dumbfounded. What...what...what does this mean?

"Hahaha, wait a little longer, wait a little longer. Good food is never too late. It will taste better if you wait a little longer." Aunt Dashan and the other female relatives couldn't hold back and laughed out loud at the stunned expressions of the guards.

Xiaowu, Xiaowu and Xiaocao are young, so Chunxing specially gave them a bowl of thick fish head soup before eating barbecue. Even worse than them are Xiaomaizi, Aunt Baotian's youngest daughter Xiaoping'an and Aunt Dashan's grandson Xiaoxile. They can only eat the white porridge and some stir-fried vegetables that Chunxing brought up the mountain for them.

Poor little guys, they sniffed the fragrance in the air and stared with their big watery eyes at the adults partying and showing off their bodies.

Gradually, the extremely rich aroma of the roasted whole lamb completely covered the smell of all the food on the scene. Several big men helped each other to take the meat off the grill one by one and carried it to a large stone that had been washed in advance. The team leaders and the people who volunteered to cut the meat washed their hands and went up to cut and divide the meat.

The others picked up their bowls and lined up consciously, forming more than a dozen small teams, and went up one after another to get the meat.

Lin Xiaoyue, Chun Xing and others on the side looked at the crowd lining up eagerly but in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but smile with approval.

Er Gouzi specially queued up to get some grilled lamb chops and lamb legs for a few people. Looking at the roasted and shiny lamb chops in her hand, with all the fat roasted out, Lin Xiaoyue didn't hesitate to take a bite while it was still hot. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender. Just one bite made her eyes widen and she gave a thumbs up to the chefs who cooked the barbecue.

That's awesome.

Not only Lin Xiaoyue, everyone had a similar expression, and they all thought that this roasted whole lamb was absolutely amazing.

With a gentle pull, a large piece will be torn off. It is crispy and burnt on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. When you take a bite, the burnt aroma is everywhere. It is fat but not greasy, tender but not dry, and so delicious that you can swallow your tongue.
