Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The children looked at the hare in the bag with joy.

After a busy morning, it was getting late, so Lin Yinan wanted to make something delicious for the children.

"Qianwu, let's make lunch."

"Sister, look, my pot is here."

Lin Yian cleverly took out a pot from the bamboo basket with a dozen bowls in it, looked up at everyone with a smug smile on his face.

"Yian, you are amazing. You have thought of all this." Yun Junpeng praised sincerely.

At that time, they only thought about getting out and didn't think about bringing anything with them.

Qianwu took out the potatoes and smiled, "Then let's make some potatoes and stew the rabbit."

When they heard that she brought potatoes, everyone swallowed unconsciously.

We planted two crops of potatoes, and the county government distributed a lot of them to every household. No one was willing to eat them, and many people just cooked a little to taste them, and saved the rest as seeds, which would be planted in large quantities starting the next year.

"We have potatoes, but rabbits alone are not enough. I'll go hunt some pheasants." Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Yinan wanted to improve everyone's food.

Fang He hesitated, then stepped forward and said, "We brought some dry food, so we can just eat it."

"I'm going hunting. You're the oldest here, so I'll have to trouble you to help look after all these kids."

"Okay." Fang He agreed without thinking.

Yun Shijiu wanted to follow, but Qian Wu took her to look at the rabbits, successfully diverting her attention.

Lu Changqing and Lin Yian took their bows and arrows and plunged into the dense forest with Lin Yinan.

The three of them searched in the woods for a quarter of an hour, and Lu Changqing was the first to find the chicken droppings on the dead leaves.

There are pheasants nearby.

So the three of them walked lightly and looked around carefully.

Soon, Lin Yinan was the first to see a pheasant foraging in the woods.

This pheasant has a bright red comb on its head and a metallic green neck and back.

Lin Yinan gestured to the two men silently, picked up the bow and arrow, drew the bow and aimed, locked his eyes on the pheasant in front of him, and the arrow quickly pierced the pheasant's head.

The sound of the pheasant falling to the ground startled a pheasant in another bush.

Lin Yinan quickly grabbed Lin Yian who was about to walk out and signaled him not to make a sound.

Three frightened pheasants clucked and poked their heads out to look around.

Lin Yinan and the other two held their breath and stared at the three pheasants.

These three pheasants are obviously not the same species as the one just now.

They are slightly smaller than the previous one, with long tails with horizontal stripes, white collars on their necks, red skin around their eyes, and glowing feathers dotted all over their bodies, which are very beautiful.

After a long time, the pheasants, not noticing anything unusual, finally let down their guard.

Lin Yinan saw the right opportunity and drew his bow and arrow again.

Lu Changqing and Lin Yian also quietly aimed at the pheasants in front. Seeing that they were ready, Lin Yinan gestured and each of them aimed at a leaf.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" three arrows were shot out at the same time, and the three pheasants in the thorn bush were killed instantly.

Lin Yian and Lu Changqing put away their bows and arrows and stood up to pick up the pheasants they had shot.

"Changqing, you are so awesome!"

The arrow shot by Lu Changqing pierced the pheasant's head just like Lin Yinan's.

Lin Yian looked at his good brother who grew up with him with bright eyes. The arrow he shot only hit the pheasant. Changqing was much better than him.

“Changqing is amazing!”

Lin Yinan originally wanted to touch his head, but then he remembered that in ancient times, people were not allowed to sit at the same table after they turned seven, and Changqing would be eleven years old after the New Year. So he patted his shoulder with a gratified smile on his face.

Lu Changqing felt a little disappointed. He quickly dropped the pheasant in his hand and took her hand and placed it on his furry head.

Lin Yinan laughed in silence and rubbed his head a few times.

"Sister, look at these three pheasants, so beautiful." Lin Yian squeezed over with some jealousy and held up the pheasants in her hand.

Lin Yinan pinched his round face which still had baby fat, "You have been out for a long time, let's go back."

Four pheasants were enough for so many people, and the three of them carried the pheasants back.

When Lin Yinan and the others returned, Fang and a few others had already dealt with the two wild rabbits. When the children saw Lu Changqing and the others holding pheasants, they gathered around them and chattered non-stop.

"The feathers of this pheasant are so beautiful!" Lin Zhiyan reached out to touch the pheasant's long tail.

Luo Shouxin's seven-year-old son Luo Xuyang exclaimed, "This one looks a lot like the big rooster my grandma raised!"

Yun Fangyi: "It would be nice if I could use this feather to make a hat."

Yun Shijiu grabbed Lin Zhiyan's hand, his eyes sparkling, and pointed at his head.

Lin Zhiyan tapped her nose and said, "Okay, okay, I'll make you a hat later."

"City Lord, do you want to cook two?" Fang He picked up two pheasants and asked Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan glanced at the big pot that Lin Yian brought, and saw that he had only killed two rabbits, so he said, "Cook all four, and save the shed feathers."

Fang He nodded, and he and his companions picked up the pheasant and walked aside to deal with it.

Qianwu had already peeled and cut the potatoes into pieces and placed them on the clean leaves.

Yun Junpeng started a fire, and Lin Yinan took out the seasonings she brought and first poured the rabbit meat into the pot to fry. While no one was paying attention, she found some seasonings from the space and threw them in.

"Aunt San, what did you put there?" The sharp-eyed Yun Junpeng saw it.

"Oh, it's a seasoning I just found in the woods. It's very delicious when used to stew meat." Lin Yinan lied without blinking.

A sharp dark light flashed across Lu Changqing's eyes, and his hand that was wiping the arrow paused. He put the bow and arrow on his back and a well-behaved smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Peng, take a break and let me light the fire."

Without waiting for Yun Junpeng to speak, Lu Changqing took the hay from his hand and squatted down.

Yun Junpeng quickly stepped aside, seeing that he was indeed doing better than himself, he bent down, picked up the axe from the basket and started chopping dry firewood around.

Lin Yinan watched silently without stopping him. She didn't know when Lu Changqing had developed so many tricks, like a beehive.

Seeing her looking at him, Lu Changqing raised his face and showed a well-behaved and ingratiating smile.

"Do you want a bigger fire? Sister Anan."

"That's good." Lin Yinan smiled and stopped talking.

As long as his intentions don't harm others, let him be.

Wild rabbits and pheasants grow in the wild, their meat contains high protein and relatively low fat and carbohydrate content, so it tastes tougher and needs to be stewed longer.

A large pot full of rabbit meat and pheasant was stewed for nearly an hour. When the water was almost dry, the potatoes were poured in and simmered over charcoal fire to allow the potatoes to absorb the soup.

When you open the lid of the pot, an irresistible delicious smell fills the entire forest.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the delicious aroma wafting out of the pot, their noses twitching slightly, and their mouths swallowing saliva unconsciously.

The children's faces were filled with eager joy and they all wanted to taste this delicacy as soon as possible.
