Chapter 8 Cultivating Beasts and Feasting Guests
When Sun Siyuan woke up, he heard the sound of archery, put on his clothes and got up, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Youqian practicing against the courtyard wall, there were already a few small pits visible on the earthen wall, and there were many arrows scattered on the ground.
"If you have money, let's go up the mountain and have a look today." Sun Siyuan remembered the traps in the mountains.
"Oh, okay." Zhao Youqian agreed and continued to practice. Sun Siyuan didn't care about him, went into the kitchen to cook thin rice porridge, spread a few more cakes, took out a radish and cut it into shreds, and soaked it in salt as a dish.
After eating, the two of them entered the mountain together, with a clear goal, and went directly to the trap they had dug the day before.
The result was very gratifying, there was a trap that dropped a breeding beast, and it seemed that it took a lot of time to toss and languish. There was also a nest of rabbits dropped in the trap, the old rabbit was killed by the sharp wood in the trap, and the other little rabbits snuggled up next to the old rabbit, looking pitiful.
When Sun Siyuan made a trap, he only put such a sharp wood, and this old rabbit was unlucky, this group of little rabbits was too small, Sun Siyuan thought about simply keeping it for himself. However, this sharp wood is indeed more lethal to small animals, she thought about it and didn't put it back.
Sun Siyuan put a nest of rabbits and the dead one in the back basket, and trapped the limbs of the beast with ropes. Originally, Sun Siyuan wanted to go back to the village to find someone to help, but he didn't expect Zhao Youqian to carry the beast on his back, and he didn't look a little tired. After putting the trap back up, the two of them went back to the village, and the bows and arrows that Zhao Youqian brought were useless.
On the way back to the village, I met many villagers, and everyone was surprised by the cultivation beast on Zhao Youqian's back, and also marveled at Zhao Youqian's strength. Before the villagers saw the two people who entered the mountain, they were also discouraged, after all, they might be in danger when they entered the mountain alone, everyone was kind, and now it seems that these two people still have the ability.
The beast grew into two or three hundred pounds, with short limbs, but it was very fierce, and I don't know how the two of them hunted such a big guy.
Originally, according to Sun Siyuan's idea, hunting wild animals was to sell them for money as soon as possible, but after seeing those villagers, Sun Siyuan changed his mind, after all, the two of them were outsiders, but they accepted the selfless kindness of the people in the village, especially Aunt Gu, who gave so much help, and this hunt for breeding beasts was a good opportunity.
When she got home, she put a few little rabbits in a room with a door, spread hay, and Sun Siyuan went to find Aunt Gu.
"Auntie, I have something to ask you for help again." As soon as he entered the door, Sun Siyuan spoke. Aunt Gu was collecting the soles of her shoes, and took a small bench for Sun Siyuan to sit down, and asked, "What's the matter, rich lady?" ”
"Auntie, my family is rich, and I hunted a breeding beast in the mountains, which weighed two or three hundred pounds, I thought to myself, I have been in our village for so long, and I haven't gathered with everyone, so it is better to take this wild thing as a banquet and invite everyone over for a meal, which is also a little heart of me and the rich."
Aunt Gu was full of surprise at the fact that she hunted the beast, the beast was as fierce as the wild boar, and the people in the village rarely caught it, and the meat of the beast was much more delicious than the wild boar. After asking about the situation, Aunt Gu agreed to help her Zhang Luo.
Not long after Sun Siyuan returned home, a few men came in, all with guys, saying that they were here to help kill the beast. There are only two benches at home, but fortunately, everyone brings their own, otherwise Sun Siyuan is really embarrassed.
Everyone didn't see the outside, looked at the beast a few times, was surprised, and began to set up a temporary stove, began to boil water, and prepared to deal with the beast. Without waiting for the water to boil, Aunt Gu came in with more than a dozen young people, carrying tables, chairs and benches, and set them up in the courtyard, and the women behind them held shovels, spoons, bowls and chopsticks in their hands, leading the children, talking and laughing all the way.
Sun Siyuan gave Zhao Youqian a bowl of special rice and asked him to go to the river to catch a basket of fish. Although it is said to eat cultivated beasts, it is always necessary to prepare more abundantly, so that everyone can eat beautifully.
Closing the bedroom door, Sun Siyuan quietly took out a dozen radishes from the space, and took a dozen more vegetables, calculating in her heart, plus the green goods brought by the women of each family, it should be enough.
The person who killed the beast quickly dealt with this big guy, and the rest was handed over to the women brought by Aunt Gu, and the men sat on the table and chatted, having a good time.
Sun Siyuan used all the rice at home and steamed a big pot of rice in the kitchen. He also beckoned Aunt Gu to take the radish and the vegetables outside to use, these two things are common, and Aunt Gu has no doubts. Although this radish is a little bigger, each has two or three catties, and each flower has six or seven catties.
The dead old rabbit was also skinned by the village woman, and the rabbit skin was taken to play by the children, bloody, Sun Siyuan was afraid to look at it, and I don't know how the children liked it.
When Zhao Youqian came back, Sun Siyuan performed the technique of slicing fish, and everyone was shocked, especially Aunt Gu and Aunt Mu, who had eaten the fish fillets sent by Sun Siyuan and knew that the white slices of meat were delicious.
The meal was not prepared until about one or two o'clock in the afternoon, but the smell of the meat made everyone wait patiently. Finally, the dishes on each table were put away, and everyone started, the pot of rice made by Sun Siyuan was not enough to divide at all, but fortunately, everyone came to cultivate beasts, and they didn't mind this.
The meat of the beast is packed in a large pot, and the radish in it is also very delicious, the rabbit meat is too little, Sun Siyuan is in charge and burns the vegetables together, and when it is time to eat, everyone is busy eating the vegetables, but they forget about the rabbit meat.
The fish fillet launched by Sun Siyuan has also been well received by everyone, and the villagers said that they will also get some fish back to try it, and the taste of this thing is really good!
When everyone was full, and there was a pot of animal meat, Sun Siyuan told the children that they could take a bowl and go back to eat, so the children of a village were bought in this way.
This breeding beast collected fifteen catties of plate oil, Sun Siyuan thought, enough for the family to eat for a long time.
Everyone left with the same things as when they came, and when they left, they said that if they needed help, they would say hello.
Those who once laughed at Zhao Youqian also came, and they also brought wine, they admired the strong, and they felt very embarrassed to have laughed at Zhao Youqian, Zhao Youqian was taught by Sun Siyuan, and he didn't care about these, a few bowls of wine came down, quite a little bit of laughter and hatred, of course, there was no grudge.
Zhao Youqian drank wine and was a little dizzy, and was driven to bed by Sun Siyuan to fall asleep, Sun Siyuan looked at the empty rice bag, and her heart was full, eating with those villagers today, which made her feel like she was back when she was a child, she was very moved, and she had a sense of belonging to this village.
