Eating melons

Xiao Xuemu looked at the wild boar in the pit and thought for a moment, "Let's leave it here for now! We'll talk about it after lunch. When it gets dark later, we'll get the cart out and transport it to town to dispose of it overnight."

Li Zhibin thought about it and felt it was feasible. "Okay, I'll go deal with the prey first."

After saying that, he looked at Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, "What do you want to eat?"

Wei Wei wanted to eat beggar's chicken, but she didn't know how to remove the feathers without hot water.

"I want to eat chicken, but we don't have a pot or hot water. Can we remove the feathers?"

Li Zhibin: "Just peel the skin off."

Jiang Qi: "Then bring two more rabbits! Wei Wei and I will go collect firewood."

Xiao Xuemu looked around and said, "Don't go too far, just stay where you can see it nearby."

Jiang Qi nodded, "Don't worry, we know."

There were wild boars here, so how could they dare to run around or go far away? The wild boar's fangs alone were enough to scare them to death.

Xiao Xuemu looked around and said to Li Zhibin, "You go deal with the prey. I'll go check around again, just in case."

Li Zhibin nodded. "Okay, but I'll skin all the rabbits! I'll take them back to them later. It'll be hard to carry so many things."

Xiao Xuemu had no opinion on this. "Just handle it."

After saying that, he walked upstream along the stream. He had set up several traps upstream, but he didn't tell Li Zhibin.

He felt that there must be more prey here. Since he was already here, he wanted to replenish the space with more supplies.

Feed them during the winter and then dispose of them in the spring.

Feeding the creatures for a winter in the space is almost equivalent to feeding them for a year outside, and he doesn't have to work during the winter, so he can devote himself to reclaiming the land in the space.

He didn't want to waste that precious time, so he wanted to catch more prey now.

Not only prey, but also medicinal herbs. There are many medicinal herbs in the deep mountains. We should dig more and plant them in the space. They are valuable.

Also, he had to send Li Zhibin away for a few days so that he could stay alone in the mountains for a few days.

Wei Wei’s watch is a good choice. Li Zhibin can be sent out to sell watches, but these things have to be dealt with first.

When he arrived upstream, Xiao Xuemu heard a sound before he reached the trap. He followed the sound and found that the person should be inside the trap.

When we arrived at the trap, we found something inside, a sika deer.

There were three pheasants inside, but they were all injured by the deer, but they were not dead.

Xiao Xuemu put all these things into the space, continued to move forward, and collected all the prey in the six traps.

There was only one trap with a sharpened stick in it, and in that trap was a wild goat, dead as a bee, apparently having been dead for a day.

Not only could his space not preserve freshness, but the flow rate was also twice as fast, so he did not put the goat into the space, but dragged it back and dealt with it together with the wild boar later.

Xiao Xuemu was away for almost two hours, and lunch was almost ready when he returned.

Li Zhibin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Xuemu. When he saw the goat dragging behind him, he understood why he came back so late.

Li Zhibin: "Another goat? How are we going to proceed?"

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi almost drooled when they saw the goats. This was wild goat meat!

In the future, let alone food, even if they dare to fight, they will have three free meals.

This is a nationally protected animal! Any movement of it is punishable, but there is no law to that effect yet.

When I saw the shining eyes of Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, I knew they were in love.

Xiao Xuemu: "Do you like it?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei nodded immediately, like pounding garlic, "I like it, I like it very much."

Xiao Xuemu has plenty of these things, and there are still seven or eight of them in the space!

"Then we won't sell this. Can you two carry it? If you can, Li Zhibin and I will take care of it, and you two can carry it back."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were dumbfounded. "Let us carry it back? Give it to us?"

Xiao Xuemu nodded and said, "If you can carry it back, I'll give it to you."

Wei Wei was shocked by his generosity, "This isn't good!"

Although I am very tempted, even if I dispose of it, there will still be dozens of kilograms left, which is not cheap.

Xiao Xuemu didn't care, "It's okay, it doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei knew that Xiao Xuemu must have quite a lot of space. "Brother, you will always be my brother. Don't worry, I will carry you back even if I have to crawl."

Xiao Xuemu: ...

It doesn't have to be this way.

However, seeing them like this, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin dragged the sheep to the river to deal with them.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi got a wild goat for free, and Jiang Qi had already thought of various ways to eat it.

It just so happened that Wei Wei said that her feet often felt cold in the middle of the night, so I decided to buy some ginseng and some medicinal herbs and make more soup for her.

The leftover mutton is difficult to store, so it is made into mutton jerky and mutton sauce.

After Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin finished processing the lamb, the beggar's chicken and roasted rabbit were also ready.

Four people, two chickens, and two rabbits.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi stuffed a lot of mushrooms into the beggar's chicken and marinated it with other ingredients.

Although the marinating time is short, the marinade is always wrapped inside and is extremely fragrant.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had never experienced this way of eating before, or rather, they had never eaten like this before. They both enjoyed the meal very much.

Not to mention Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu, who often secretly roasted them and ate them, also enjoyed them very much.

Because the ones they baked before tasted just okay, but definitely not as delicious as this one.

Li Zhibin said while eating the roasted rabbit, "It's delicious, but a little greasy."

Hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi suddenly remembered that they had brought two bottles of drinks!

Jiang Qi: "We brought some Arctic Ocean soda, would you like some?"

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin were stunned when they heard this.

Li Zhibin: "You guys also brought Beibingyang soda? Why didn't I see it?"

Jiang Qi pointed to two untouched military canteens and said, "Those two bottles are Arctic Ocean soda."

Li Zhibin/Xiao Xuemu: ...So this isn't the water you brought for us? You're being too sentimental again.

Li Zhibin said in a confused voice, "Drink."

Why don’t you drink it? You carried it here yourself.

After saying that, he drank all the remaining water in his kettle in one gulp.

The same goes for Xiao Xuemu.

Four people, two chickens, two rabbits, a lot of mushrooms, and two pots of drinks, all eaten and drunk.

I looked at the time and it was already past three o'clock. It was almost dark at five o'clock now, and it would take more than one or two hours to go down the mountain from here.

Xiao Xuemu: "It's getting late, let's get down the mountain quickly! There are eight rabbits and a sheep here. Can you two carry them?"

He and Li Zhibin each had a wild boar weighing more than 200 pounds, 18 pheasants, 10 rabbit skins, and a sheepskin, so it was not easy to help them carry them.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi knew at a glance that this thing was for them, and they patted their chests and said, "Okay, no problem."

I have to do it anyway, they are all good things! I have to bring them back even if I have to crawl.

The two of them stuffed the things that Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu had handled into a backpack.

I almost couldn't stand up when I squatted down.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were a little embarrassed.

"This is all an accident, an accident!"

Wei Wei looked at Xiao Xuemu, who was trying to hold back his laughter, and said unhappily, "Help me get up!"

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin hurriedly helped the two men stand up and carry them on their backs.

Xiao Xuemu looked at the two of them with some doubt and asked, "Can it work?"

Wei Wei nodded, "Okay."

To show that he was doing well, he also brought up the sack of silkworm pupae, which was light.

Xiao Xuemu frowned as he looked at it, "Why don't you just give up on this thing?"

Wei Wei immediately held the things in front of her and said, "That won't do."

Xiao Xuemu: "How about hiding it nearby? I'll bring it down for you next time I come?"

Wei Wei shook her head. "No need. I can carry it."

These things are not that heavy, they can carry them. The reason they didn't carry them just now is because they were on flat ground and it was difficult to get up.

Wei Wei checked the time and said, "Let's go! It will be completely dark by the time we get to the foot of the mountain. If we go any slower, it will be completely dark before we even get down. The mountain road is not easy to walk on."
