They had been in the mountains for more than ten days. Except for the two wild boars placed in the space, all the other pheasants and rabbits were eaten, so Yan Zhenshen focused on hunting in the next few days.

Chu Xiao naturally would not have nothing to do, he still remembered to bring wild fruits and honey to Luo Ge'er.

Last time I went to pick those wild fruits, many of them were not yet ripe. This time, I saw that the red, yellow, and purple fruits on the trees were already mostly ripe, and even many of the fruits hanging high up had traces of being pecked by birds.

Chu Xiao took out a backpack, cut some fresh grass and put it at the bottom and started picking the fruits. He picked six backpacks full of wild fruits from the west alone, and they were all ripe fruits.

After picking the fruits, seeing that it was not too late, he went to check on the dead tree again. The remaining Ganoderma lucidum were still growing there well. This thing is expensive, Chu Xiao wondered if he could grow some himself, but he didn't know how to grow it, so he gave up after thinking about it.

It is better to grow ginseng than Ganoderma lucidum, mainly because he has experience. In autumn, ginseng enters the flowering period and it will be easier to find it at that time. If you find one or two plants and collect the seeds, there will be an endless supply of ginseng in the future.

Chu Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled when he thought of this. With ginseng and silver, how far would his big house be?

He continued walking forward, wanting to see if he could pick some more wood ears, but unfortunately, there were only a few hanging sparsely on the tree where he picked them last time.

Chu Xiao did not go to pick them, but asked Taxue to lead the way and walked back in another direction. On the way, he came across some fruit trees. He picked some of the ones that looked good and also memorized the locations of the unripe wolfberries, chestnuts and the like, as he would pick them up later.

It was too late when Chu Xiao returned to the thatched cottage. His feet were a little sore and swollen after walking so long. Seeing that Yan Zhenshen had not returned yet, he went to the river to wash up. While taking a bath, he saw some small fish swimming by the river. He felt like drinking some fish soup.

The last time Yan Zhennan went down the mountain, he caught two fish, steamed one and stewed the other.

Steamed fish is marinated with salt and wine, then green onions and bacon are stuffed into the fish's belly. Slice the ginger and put it on a plate, then put the fish on top and steam it directly. Finally, heat the oil and sprinkle it on top.

Chu Xiao saw that Zhao Guizhi did it this way, which was somewhat different from the method in his home cooking book. Chu Xiao didn't care about this because he preferred to drink fish soup.

He became very greedy at the thought of fish soup, and his eyes widened as he looked at the little fish swimming around. However, he had no experience in catching fish, and when he dived in, the fish swam away.

Chu Xiao searched for a while and actually saw quite a few, but they were all small, there was no big fish. He really didn't have the ability to catch fish, and even the willow branches he used to poke them would miss the target.

This is the result of not reading enough, not knowing about refraction reactions and having no basic common sense.

Chu Xiao, who returned empty-handed, didn't even want to cook the fish soup rice, but he couldn't let his brother Shen come back hungry, so he kneaded the dough and baked a dozen wild vegetable pies. Now that there was no shortage of meat, he naturally couldn't let himself down, so the meat in the wild vegetable pies was as much as the vegetables.

Yan Zhenshen came back at dusk. The aroma of the meat pie made his stomach growl. He took out a wolf cub from the backpack. The cub was only slightly bigger than Yan Zhenshen's palm and its teeth had not yet grown fully. Its bite did not hurt, but just made people itchy.

The old people all said that this wolf could not be tamed, otherwise there would not be the saying of "ungrateful wolf". But my husband likes small animals, and today he happened to see this little wolf cub hiding alone in a tree hole. He thought it must have been abandoned.

Chu Xiao was indeed delighted to see the little wolf cub. It was so small and looked no different from a dog. He held it in his arms and looked at it again and again. Only then did he realize that one of the wolf cub's eyes was gray. No wonder it was abandoned, it turned out to be a one-eyed wolf.

Chu Xiao fiddled with the wolf cub for a long time. He felt happy that the eye could be cured, and all the disappointment of not having fish soup today disappeared.

The pancakes were already baked, and the soup was ready to be served. Yan Zhenshen washed his hands and went to bring the food out. When he saw it, it smiled at him: "Brother Shen, can it eat pancakes?"

The pair of eyes looked over with a smile, but it was because of a little wolf cub. Yan Zhenshen inexplicably regretted bringing this thing back. Since he came back, his husband has only been looking at the wolf cub and ignored him.

"It's still small, just feed it some soup and water."

Chu Xiao nodded, poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of the wolf cub, then washed his hands and ate.

The wild vegetable pancakes were crispy, soft and delicious. Chu Xiao took a bite and nodded with satisfaction. He baked more than a dozen and couldn't finish them tonight, so he gave them to Brother Shen to take away tomorrow.

He was not very good at making pasta before, so Yan Zhenshen would come home at night and steam buns for his lunch. It was only a few days ago when he had nothing to do and after several failures that he finally learned how to make something decent.

Most farmers were poor, and even though his previous products had been failures, they were all made of white flour and naturally would not be wasted. The young men still said that the food was delicious when they ate it.

While eating, Chu Xiao started to complain about catching fish today. Yan Zhenshen laughed as he listened: "Big Yellow and Big Black always go to the river to play in the water, so naturally the big fish don't want to get close. If you want to catch fish, I'll take you upstream to cast the net."

Chu Xiao was delighted when he heard this, "Then I will catch more and keep them in a water tank."

Yan Zhenshen paused with his chopsticks. Should he tell his husband that the fish could not be kept in the hot water tank in this weather? In a few days, they would probably turn upside down.

But seeing how excited his husband was, he decided to shut up. It would be fine if the fish died, they could just feed them to the hounds. Besides, there were only two of them in the mountain, and if there were plenty of fish to eat, they could just go catch them. It wasn't a big deal.

After dinner, Chu Xiao took out fruits from the space to feed the wolf cubs. Naturally, he would not be partial and also fed the hunting dogs. Taxue was not picky and ate whatever was given to him. However, Dahuang and Dahei sniffed the food and turned their heads away in disgust.

After being threatened by Taxue's whining, he reluctantly lowered his head and started to eat the fruit. Chu Xiao laughed at this. Taxue really understands human nature.

He caressed Taxue's head lovingly and pushed the wolf cub, who had been chewing the fruit for a long time before finally breaking the skin, in front of him: "Taxue, this is your little brother from now on. You have to take good care of him, okay?"

Taxue lowered its head and sniffed the wolf cub, then gently pawed it, causing the wolf cub to fall over. But the little wolf cub thought Taxue was playing with it, so it got up and moved closer like a newborn calf, fearless of a tiger. But it was pawed over again, and this went on over and over again without any temper. Taxue had played enough and then barked twice reluctantly.

The wolf cub was still young and eager to learn, so he followed the barking, but the sound he made was still a whining sound, as if he was not very satisfied. He barked again, still whining. Finally, Taxue impatiently pressed him to the ground with one paw, and he stopped barking.
