Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Hearing this, everyone turned around and looked at the wild boar in Shen Qingge's hand.

Even the officers couldn't help but become curious. Li Tian even walked over and pulled one apart to look inside and out.

"This thing is indeed different from a pig. It looks small but is actually quite plump. Not bad, not bad."

"Yes, officer, this badger meat is very oily and delicious whether roasted or cooked in soup. Just throw away the tail root and cook it with the bark. It has no fishy smell at all. The oil is so good that it can even cure burns!"

The officers' eyes lit up at these words, and the prisoners were envious and drooling. They were all starving, their stomachs were flat and grumbling non-stop, and naturally they were very excited.

Li Tian couldn't help it, and said a little embarrassedly: "Well... what, Madam Shen, when you make badger meat later, you must leave some for us brothers to taste."

As soon as he said this, the other officers also echoed him: "Yes, Madam Shen, we haven't eaten meat for a long time. You must let the brothers have a taste."

Shen Qingge had no shortage of food, so badger meat wasn't particularly appealing to her. However, she immediately responded with a cheerful smile, "Of course. The soup we make must first be presented to the officials. If there's any left, we'll share it with the other families as well."

The officers were surprised by her straightforwardness. They had originally worried about being rejected, but now it seemed their worries were completely unnecessary.

The Wu and Zhao families couldn't hide their smiles either. They could actually get some badger meat, and Shen Qingge didn't sound like he was talking nonsense when he said that.

Could it be that the Shen family was willing to resolve their past grievances with them? This made them secretly happy.

However, the reality was different! Shen Qingge agreed so readily simply because she wanted to add some Datura pollen to the badger meat so that everyone could have a good "sleep".

When they finally reached the cave, it was already nearly dark. Ma Si and the others who had come down the mountain to explore the path had already reached the cave. Several bonfires had been lit inside the cave, illuminating the cliff face with a brilliant light.

The anxious people inside the cave were equally excited to see the foraging team return with a full load. They rushed forward to help take down the "trophy" and immediately began to prepare to eat.

Suddenly, the entire cave became bustling with activity.

Shen Qingge carried the wild boar and walked towards her own campfire. She was not good at cooking, but her aunts were good at cooking!

Sister-in-law Wang Lan noticed the animal carcasses skewered in her hand and quickly took them. She then asked in confusion, "Oh my! What are these? There are so many of them!"

Shen Qingge looked at the badger meat in front of him and said:

"This is wild hog badger meat. I heard it has a bit of a fishy smell, but the meat is tender and juicy. Sister-in-law, can you help me process it? I think the meat of these wild hog badgers is quite a lot, so I want to cut some out for grilling and use most of the rest to make soup to nourish the children!"

The eldest sister-in-law responded with a smile: "Okay, leave it to me!"

Several other sisters-in-law also came forward to help, and soon they divided the badger meat into several parts.

The meat to be roasted was cut into thin slices and spread on the big stones next to the fire; some leg meat that was difficult to slice was directly skewered with branches and prepared to be roasted over the fire later. The remaining meat and bones were chopped into small pieces and prepared to be blanched and made into soup.

Shen Qingge returned to the cave entrance, peeled off some bark, and then took out a small bag of salt from her space. After a moment's thought, she quickly took out a small bag of star anise, fennel, and other spices, and finally mixed in the datura pollen.

She thought to herself, "This amount of Datura pollen should be enough for everyone to have a good sleep."

As she thought about this, she walked back into the cave.

The sisters-in-law looked at the various seasonings Shen Qingge took out in amazement, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, Qingge, you really seem to have a treasure chest!"

However, despite their surprise, they did not stop what they were doing, because the children had already lined up neatly beside the fire, staring at the barbecue with their saliva dripping uncontrollably.

Soon, the sliced ​​badger meat was finally roasted, emitting an enticing aroma. Each piece of badger meat was roasted to a golden and crispy texture, sizzling, and the fat oozing out was mouth-watering.

"Okay, it's time to eat!"

After carefully confirming that the barbecue was cooked to perfection, the eldest sister-in-law picked up some with chopsticks, put it in a bowl, and handed it to the grandmother and children first.

These badger slices, sliced ​​thinly with a knife, are crispy and chewy, making them easy for children and the elderly to chew. A fine layer of fat beads oozes out when you bite into them, and the crispy exterior and tender interior are so satisfying that you'll want to eat your tongue like it were meat.

After taking just one bite, my nephew Jintang couldn't help but squint his eyes, smack his lips, and keep saying, "Delicious, delicious, Mom, this is too delicious! I want more..."

As he spoke, he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth.

My grandmother ate two slices slowly, with a smile on her face, and praised the dish highly.

Although they hadn't gone hungry during their exile thanks to Shen Qingge, no matter how sumptuous the food was, it couldn't be as delicious as freshly cooked food.

The barbecue cooked quickly and soon everyone in the Shen family had a taste of it.

They were silent, chewing the slices of meat in their mouths, the satisfaction on their faces almost overflowing.

"smell good!"

The convicts all looked towards the Shen family, their eyes full of envy. The children were even more drooling, with shiny strands of saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths and dripping onto their lapels.

The other families also prepared food. The Zhao family only had women left and were timid, so they picked some wild mushrooms and made soup. Although the Wu and Liu families had meat, they didn't know how to cook it and had no seasoning, so the color, aroma and taste were definitely far inferior to the badger meat of the Shen family.

The officers stretched their necks, their eyes wide open, and stared at the Shen family.

At this moment, a rich aroma wafted from the pot, whetting everyone's appetite. The Shen family members picked up bowls of steaming hot, sticky rice porridge, which was as thick as dry rice, and ate it with relish along with the badger meat soup.

Only Shen Qingge said that he didn't want to eat greasy food, so he ate three or two slices of barbecue and drank some rice porridge.

Shen Qingge, who was "full and satisfied", did not break her promise. She stood up and prepared to share the badger meat with the others.

She first walked towards the officers with a bowl of badger meat soup and handed it to the captain Wang Gui.
