Chapter 6: Ascending the Mountain
Early in the morning, the sky was bright, Du Yue got up, today to go hunting, Du Yue felt very excited, finally able to implement the method of making money, and when he made money, he would not have to trouble the uncle's family so much in the future. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Tianming's father and son also got up, over there, Aunt Liu was already busy in the kitchen, Aunt Liu knew that they were up, so she quickly asked them to wash up first and wait for breakfast before going up the mountain, and baked a few more cakes for them to bring, so they couldn't come back for lunch on the mountain at noon.
After breakfast, Du Yue and the Liu family, father and son, were ready to go up the mountain. The father and son of the Liu family never carried baskets when hunting, but Du Yue was anxious to make money, thinking that maybe he could pick up some other mountain goods, so that he could carry them back by the way. The father and son of the Liu family put their homemade bows and arrows on their backs, and pinned knives to their waists, Du Yue had no bows and arrows, so he could only go out with a knife.
Along the way, Du Yue listened to the Liu family's father and son talk about the situation in Lianwu Mountain, and remembered that they were rescued from Lianwu Mountain, so she asked where she was, and Yuan Qing also pointed it out to her. Du Yue took a look, Mom! Such a high cliff fell, it was strange if the original owner didn't hang up, if he hadn't happened to pass through, Uncle Liu's father and son would have rescued a corpse. Half an hour passed quickly, and they also arrived at the edge of Lianwu Mountain.
"Uncle, which way are you going?" Du Yue asked, looking at the dense woods.
"Let's go to the right, which is the route my dad and I often take." Yuan Qing replied.
"Yue'er, follow us, don't get lost." Liu Tianming told Du Yue that he was afraid that she would lose it.
"Uncle, okay!"
After saying that, the three of them walked inside.
"Bunny!" Du Yue was a little excited when she saw a gray rabbit, but she was afraid of scaring the rabbit away, so she only whispered, the voice was so small that the father and son of the Liu family on the side didn't hear it.
Du Yue didn't have a bow and arrows, so she picked up a lot of small stones on the way here, picked up a small stone in her right hand and meowed the rabbit and popped it out.
"Poof." A sound sounded, the gray rabbit didn't know that the death time had come, and he was concentrating on eating, Du Yue got his hands at once, and ran over to pick up the rabbit excitedly, and threw it into the back basket behind his back when he lifted it.
This gray rabbit is not particularly fat, it is estimated that it is only summer, and if it is autumn, it will definitely be fatter.
"Wow, Sister Yue, it turns out that you are so powerful!" Yuan Qing said with envy. The father and son of the Liu family followed.
"It's okay." Du Yue was not very embarrassed by Liu Yuanqing.
"Let's move on!"
"Okay."
After entering the mountain for a while, Du Yue got a rabbit, and she was full of a sense of accomplishment, and she was more confident that she would make the first pot of gold in the Great Zhou Dynasty by relying on this.
When I first came in, I could see a large area of sunlight, but when I walked a little inside, the woods gradually became denser, and I could only see the sporadic sunlight. The three of them didn't want to go inside again, so they went to the side again, and along the way, the father and son of the Liu family beat two pheasants and a rabbit, and Du Yue's back basket also contained two rabbits, one gray and one white.
Du Yue looked up at the sky, probably the sun in the center, it was estimated that it was noon, and he happened to be hungry, so he asked the Liu family father and son to find a place to eat lunch first.
"Uncle, let's find a place to settle lunch first, shall we?"
"Okay, I know there's a little stream nearby, let's go over there."
After speaking, he led Du Yue and Liu Yuanqing to the left. I didn't go far before I heard the sound of water, and after a while, I arrived at the edge of the creek that Liu Tianming said.
Du Yue put down the back basket on her body and prepared to go to the water's edge to wash her hands and face first. As soon as she arrived at the edge of the stream, the water was so clear, and there were fish in the water, Du Yue suddenly became a little greedy, and she really wanted to eat grilled fish.
"Sister Yue, if you want to eat fish, then let's catch a few." Liu Yuanqing replied with a smile.
"I heard Sister Ping'er say that you are very good at sticking fish with branches, how did you plug it?"
"Look at me."
After Liu Yuanqing finished speaking, he took a knife and cut a small branch, sharpened the end and took it back to the edge of the stream. Quietly looking at the stream, just watching a palm-sized fish swim over, quickly inserted it, hit the fish's stomach, took the fish off, and inserted two more, just one person. Du Yue took the fish caught by Yuan Qing to clean the contents of the stomach, scraped the fish scales, removed the gills of the fish, took a few fish to the water and washed them, and brought them back, Liu Tianming knew that Du Yue was going to grill the fish, so he burned the fire, and also prepared the branches of the grilled fish, which could be grilled by inserting it in the fish.
After everything was ready, Du Yue found that there was no salt, so sad, how to eat without salt.
"Brother Yuanqing, can't you eat?" Du Yue was so depressed.
"What's wrong?"
"We didn't bring any salt."
"Hey, what should I do, there is a salt tree in this mountain, and now it is ripe season, I just go find some."
"Hey, there's this thing, that's pretty good."
"You wait, I'll be back in a moment." As soon as Liu Yuanqing finished speaking, he ran away.
Not long after, Liu Yuanqing came back, holding a large handful of unknown fruits in his hand, and there were white things on it.
"Sister Yue, look!" Liu Yuanqing handed over the things in his hand.
"Brother Yuanqing, do you mean that this superficially white thing is salt?" Du Yue asked strangely.
"Yes, you can taste it, salty, it should be usable."
Du Yue took a little to taste, and it was really salty, so how about trying it. Du Yue beckoned Liu Yuanqing to smear the hoarfrost on the salt fruit on the fish, and after a while, the fish was smeared inside and out, it seemed that it should be delicious enough, so he quickly took it to the fire and roasted it. The three of them have one in their hands, Liu Tianming and his son can't, they watched how Du Yue roasted it, and they also followed how to get it. The fish is not big, it cooks quite quickly, and the aroma comes out after a while, and Du Yue wants to drool when he smells it. Du Yue picked it up, blew it, and couldn't wait to bite it.
"It's hot, it's hot." Du Yue was so scalded that she stuck out her tongue, although there was no seasoning except for some salt cream, but the taste was still good.
"Sister Yue, it's quite delicious, we haven't made it like this."
"What is this, if there are a few more seasonings, it will be much better than this."
"Really? What seasoning do you want, next time you bring all the seasonings and then bake and eat. ”
"Okay." Du Yue casually said a few spices.
The three of them took a bite of cake and a bite of fish, and they ate it in a while. Liu Yuanqing was still unsatisfied, Du Yue told him that he would bake and eat at home next time, and then give up. After lunch, the three of them continued to hunt.
The harvest in the morning was a little small, and it is estimated that it was on the periphery of the mountain, and the reason for not going into the deep mountains. Du Yue wanted to go a little further, but Liu Tianming disagreed, saying that there were bears and blind people in the mountains, fierce beasts such as tigers, and Du Yue had no choice but to follow Liu Tianming and his son to continue to rotate around the periphery, hoping to catch a few more rabbits and pheasants, but unfortunately they all turned in a big circle, and they didn't see the prey.
"Uncle, let's go a little bit deeper, let's go a little more, okay?" Du Yue also knew the danger and didn't dare to go too deep.
"Okay, let's go a little more, if it's gone, forget it." Liu Tianming nodded and said.
So a few people continued to go deeper. The further you go in, the bigger the trees, and the more sunlight the leaves cover, but fortunately, it's quite bright, and it is estimated that you will not see the sun in the deep mountains
