I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

Bai Qingyao had no idea that the pheasant was in this state because of the white wolf she had seen in the mountains before.

The white wolf was the overlord of the mountain. All the pheasants around were harmed by it. It was because of it that it had to hide here and there. Unexpectedly, when it came out to look for food today, it fell into a tiger's den which was worse than a wolf's den.

She has such a good relationship with the white wolf, how could it dare to disobey?

If the white wolf knew about this, it would definitely not survive.

Although it is a chicken, it is still a life after all.

Meeting Bai Qingyao was truly a disaster in my life.

"Cough cough cough."

Hearing Aunt Jiang's words, Bai Qingyao coughed violently. "That's true."

……

Not long after Aunt Jiang went back, Jiang Dahu came to the Gu family carrying a large piece of wood.

"Sister-in-law Gu."

Seeing Bai Qingyao, Jiang Dahu smiled naively and said, "My mother asked me to come and fix the door for your house."

"Thank goodness for you, Dahu."

"No hard work, no hard work."

Hearing Bai Qingyao's voice, Jiang Dahu waved his hands quickly. This was his mother's order, so how could he dare to say it was hard work.

Bai Qingyao smiled and then turned and went to the kitchen.

The pheasant cannot be eaten, but the roe deer that the white wolf gave her can still be eaten. It was already dead, and even if there was a spiritual plant, she would not know about it.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingyao shouted towards the yard, "Da Hu, go back and tell your mother not to cook for a while. I picked up some things in the mountains and will cook them for you to taste in the evening."

"Do not……"

"Da Hu, please don't refuse. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to ask you to help me fix the gate."

Jiang Dahu's face flushed red, and he took a long time to utter a word.

"it is good."

Bai Qingyao smiled with satisfaction when she heard the answer.

She grasped this point of Jiang Dahu, so she said that.

The roe deer was eaten whole, and Bai Qingyao was not very skilled in handling it. After working for a long time, she finally managed to clean the meat from one leg.

This roe deer was very fat, and one leg was enough for a group of them to eat.

The roe deer skin was also of some value, so Bai Qingyao peeled it and took it to the yard, where it met Jiang Dahu's shocked eyes.

"Gu...Sister-in-law Gu, this...this roe deer is what you said you found in the mountains?"

"correct."

'hiss--'

Hearing her casual tone, Jiang Dahu took a breath.

This is a roe deer. He occasionally goes up the mountain, so why has he never picked up a roe deer?

He said quietly, "Sister-in-law Gu, you are so lucky."

"Really? I think I'm pretty lucky too."

Jiang Dahu: ...

Looking at his depressed expression, Bai Qingyao burst out laughing.

"Actually, I had dug a trap on the mountain, and since this roe deer was injured, it was a good opportunity for me."

Of course, she couldn't say that she had encountered a white wolf. If they knew that there was a wolf in the back mountain, it would definitely cause panic among the villagers.

"trap?"

Hearing Bai Qingyao's words, Jiang Dahu's eyes lit up unexpectedly. "Sister-in-law Gu, you can set traps? Can you teach me?"

He really wanted to learn how to hunt, but the hunters in the village had long since stopped going up the mountain, and those who did were unwilling to accept apprentices.

After all, teaching your apprentice will only starve you to death.

Especially in these poor areas, teaching someone means they have to share half of what they can hunt.

Then there are those hunters who charge very high fees, and most of the things they hunt have to be handed over to them. In this way, even if he can learn something, he has to give it away every time, and ultimately he will not achieve the desired result.

Now that he saw that Bai Qingyao could actually set a trap, he started to have new ideas.

Bai Qingyao turned around, and a question mark slowly appeared above her head.

"what?"

"You can make traps, can you teach me?"

Jiang Dahu put down the template in his hand and stared at Bai Qingyao with some "fanaticism", which made her somewhat unable to cope.

"Ouch—"

Before Bai Qingyao could speak, she heard Jiang Dahu in front of her cry out.

When he looked up, he saw Aunt Jiang coming over at some point. She grabbed Jiang Dahu's ear with one hand. Judging from the strength she used, she showed no mercy at all.

"You little bastard, you still dare to come up with this idea, are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Ouch, mother, mother, it hurts——"

Aunt Jiang let go of her hand, and Jiang Dahu reached out and touched his ears, which were still hanging on his head. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"There's no telling if there are any wild animals on the hill behind. What did I tell you before? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

"Oh, Mom, I just want to share more of the burden at home!"

"Just take care of yourself and cultivate the land at home. I will be thankful."

"Also, they know how to dig traps, that's their skill. How dare you ask Qingyao to teach you!"

Bai Qingyao stared at the scene in a daze. She didn't expect that Aunt Jiang had such a side to her.

"Hey, Qingyao, don't take this brat's words to heart."

"It's okay, Aunt Jiang."

Bai Qingyao hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Actually, Aunt Jiang, if Dahu wants to learn, I can teach him."

"Really?"

Before Aunt Jiang could say anything, Jiang Dahu suddenly jumped out.

Bai Qingyao had never seen Jiang Dahu with such a breath of life before. It was obvious that Jiang Dahu really liked hunting and really wanted to learn it.

How could Aunt Jiang not know what her son was thinking?

"How can that be? The Gu family is having a hard time right now. You know how to dig traps and find food in the mountains. If Da Hu learns from you... No, that won't work!"

"Auntie Jiang, it's okay. Hunting is not the only way to supplement the family income. I think Dahu really likes it. Letting him hunt outside is enough."

"Yes, mother, I promise, as long as you let me learn, I will stay in the outskirts and will not go deep into the mountains!"

After a while, Aunt Jiang sighed, "Okay, remember your words!"

"Okay, thank you, mother!"

Hearing Aunt Jiang's reassurance, Jiang Dahu ran excitedly to work as the gatekeeper again.

Seeing him like this, Aunt Jiang couldn't help but shook her head.

This was just a small episode. Not long after, Bai Qingyao was busy processing the roe deer meat.

In the past, roe deer was a protected animal, and Bai Qingyao had never eaten it, but there were only so many ways to cook this meat, so she simply made soup and then braised pork.

A big pot full.

After adding some fire to the stove, Bai Qingyao began to think about the mobile stove.

She was planning to set up a noodle stall, so a mobile stove was essential.

Jiang Dahu finished building the door and walked over. He saw Bai Qingyao holding a piece of charcoal and drawing something.

"Sister-in-law Gu, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to make a portable stove."

"Stove? Move?"

Jiang Dahu was a little confused. He stared at the drawing for a long time before he reacted.

"Leave this to me, I'll help you."

"Da Hu, can you understand this?"

Jiang Dahu scratched the back of his head. "A little bit, but it should be done."

Bai Qingyao's face lit up with joy. "Okay, then thank you first."

"No... no need."
