The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Yan Zhenshen also found a cave in the deep mountains to rest. Taxue and Dahei lay down beside the cave and looked outside. In front of them were layers of dense forests with the sound of birds singing.

The dry firewood that had just been picked up was inevitably a little damp due to the rain. If you lit a fire in the cave, the smoke would be so severe that people couldn't open their eyes.

After scraping together a lot of dead leaves, Yan Zhenshen lit the fire. He cut the processed rabbit into several pieces and roasted them over the fire.

Taxue also moved from the cave entrance to the fire, but after lying there for a while, his ears moved and he quickly ran into the woods.

Yan Zhenshen looked up, then looked away. In the mountains, when it was time to eat, hunting dogs would be more sensitive to small prey, probably to catch more to fill their stomachs.

Yan Zhenshen was actually quite lucky this time when he went up the mountain. There were no wild boars blocking the way this year, so he was finally able to cross the Wild Boar Ridge safely.

There are more wild animals in places I have never been to. After two trips, I got three pure-colored fox skins and a dozen mixed-hair fox skins, plus a litter of badgers, which can be sold for a lot of money.

However, Yan Zhenshen only planned to hunt once more. The old hunter once said that one should not always chase the same prey, but should always give it time to recuperate.

But this mountain is really big, and it also breeds countless creatures. In the mountains where the strong prey on the weak, a dozen or twenty foxes are not considered a lot.

Yan Zhenshen turned the rabbit in his hand and looked up at the sky. It would still be a while before dark.

If he could catch a few more tonight, he should go back early tomorrow.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Taxue coming back with a weasel and throwing it directly at Yan Zhenshen's feet.

Although he had heard from villagers that weasels were full of treasures, this thing was of no use to hunters like them. Even if the fur shop in the county town would buy it, they would not give much price for it. He also didn't know whether the meat was edible.

The most important thing is that everyone says this thing is very evil. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, but no one wants to provoke it. It holds grudges. Just like he didn't provoke the wolf pack in the west for so many years in the mountains, because he was more or less afraid of revenge from these things.

But it had been bitten to death by Taxue. Yan Zhenshen did not hesitate. Since Taxue brought it back, he might as well give it dinner.

Plans don’t change quickly. Yan Zhenshen originally planned to go down the mountain as soon as he returned this time, but he encountered continuous autumn rain.

The rain was not heavy, but it continued for several days. The cold became more and more obvious. If you came out of the house suddenly, you would shiver with cold.

Chu Xiao walked quickly from the toilet into the house holding an oil-paper umbrella. Rainwater inevitably stained his shoes. He stomped his feet under the eaves before putting away the oil-paper umbrella.

"There's a small hole in the roof of the hut, and water is dripping down."

He was forced to hold an umbrella even in the toilet.

"I'll get some hay to fill it up later." Yan Zhenshen was cleaning the ashes at the bottom of the stove. This had to be done every two or three days, otherwise it would be difficult to light the stove if there was too much ashes.

"Let's talk about it after the rain stops." Chu Xiao said this not to ask Yan Zhenshen to get busy right away, but to tell him so that he wouldn't go to the toilet without an umbrella and get his clothes wet again.

It's not like summer now.

The two of them went into the mountains less often this year, and neither of them was idle in the past ten days. Yan Zhenshen would go hunting foxes almost always return tonight and leave the next day, not wanting to waste any effort. Fortunately, his efforts were rewarded.

Chu Xiao was busy doing this and that all day long. Now there were a lot of mountain products in the space, especially the wolfberries and peppercorns near the thatched hut, which had basically been harvested. He also took the time to dig some bamboo shoots.

Two days ago, he saw some wild vegetables, but the old ones were too old to be picked, so he could only pick some tender tips, which were enough to make a wild vegetable soup.

Yan Zhenshen hasn't eaten at home much in the past half month, and Chu Xiao is too lazy to cook too much by himself, so most of the time he just eats casually. Now that it's raining, there's nothing to do, so he can reward his stomach.

After washing his hands, Chu Xiao started to tinker with something. He didn't eat much of the meat he brought from the mountain. Chu Xiao took out a large piece and made some stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.

To say that stir-fried bamboo shoots are better with bacon, the family raised pigs this year. After the winter pigs are slaughtered, they cannot be sold. I have to ask his mother to smoke more bacon.

Chu Xiao's cooking skills are not as good as Zhao Guizhi's, but he is willing to use ingredients. In farmers' homes, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar are all precious things. Even though Zhao Guizhi is not short of money now, she still can't help but save when cooking.

The smell of the newly planted Sichuan peppercorns was very pungent, and when mixed with the chili peppers, it made people cough. Chu Xiao covered his mouth and nose with one hand and kept stirring. Yan Zhenshen couldn't bear it and quickly took the shovel from his hand.

Chu Xiao sneezed twice because of the choking: "Brother Shen, you stir for a while, I'll go out and take a rest."

As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, Chu Xiao shivered at the chill of late autumn, and his dizziness immediately became much more sober.

The wolf cubs who were originally standing at the kitchen door hoping to get some food were now driven into the woodshed by the smoke. Taxue and Dahei had no intention of getting close at all.

When it saw Chu Xiao coming out, it barked twice, as if to remind him to stay away from the dangerous area.

After taking a break, Chu Xiao went into the kitchen again. It was not a good idea to keep turning the food over and over again, as he always had to add some other seasonings. He was afraid that if he didn't go in, his brother Shen would even forget to add salt.

Stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, pepper chicken, and a pot of aged wild vegetable soup. This meal is quite rich with both meat and vegetables.

Yan Zhenshen actually likes spicy food very much, but Zhao Guizhi and Yan Sanmei at home can’t stand it, so naturally he seldom cooks spicy dishes.

Although Chu Xiao could eat some, he couldn't stand the pungent taste.

Chu Xiao put a lot of ingredients in the pepper chicken today. After eating a few bites, his lips became numb as if he had lost all feeling. He even reached out and touched his lips, which seemed swollen.

"Drink more soup." Seeing that he kept hissing and laughing, Yan Zhenshen quickly put the wild vegetable soup in front of him.

The soup was not that hot anymore. Chu Xiao picked it up and took two sips, but didn't feel much better.

"Brother Shen, maybe you put too much pepper in it?"

"It's okay." Yan Zhenshen didn't find it too spicy, and thought it tasted quite delicious.

"Eat more pork." Yan Zhenshen picked up a big piece of pork for Chu Xiao with his chopsticks.

He knew that her husband was not very fond of chicken, duck and rabbit, and preferred pork and mutton.

He had not planned to stay long this time, so he did not bring much pork. He also thought that as long as he did not grow old, there would always be enough for his husband to eat. But he did not expect that his husband would not eat well when he was not around.

It seems that I can’t go out hunting for so long in the future.

"You should eat more." Chu Xiao also reciprocated by picking up some food for Yan Zhenshen.

Yan Zhenshen looked up and wanted to say that he could let his husband eat pork and he could eat the pepper chicken, but then he thought again that he wanted to give the best things to his husband, and Chu Xiao thought the same thing.
