When Zhou Quanbei woke up, it was already more than 10 o'clock at noon, but the wind and snow still showed no signs of stopping, sprinkled one after another, falling from the sky, and the whole world was snow-white, like a fairyland on earth.

"Sister~, why didn't you wake me up earlier? I slept too deeply. Zhou Quanbei soothed his hands and feet, and said to Lu Linglong, who was cleaning up his things outside.

Lu Linglong glanced back at Zhou Quanbei, her pretty face was full of joy, "Xiaobei, are you awake?" ”

Zhou Quanbei nodded, and wiped away a little snow mark on Lu Linglong's pretty face with a smile, maybe because the weather was too cold, Lu Linglong's little face was red from the cold, but she was a little more angry.

"What about Sister Xingcai and Sister Feifei?" Zhou Quanbei turned around, but he didn't find the shadows of the Xingcai girls.

Lu Linglong said with a smile: "Sister Qing'er found some mushrooms on the hillside over there, and they went to pick mushrooms." Sister Xingcai said, let's boil mushroom soup and drink it at noon, I'll clean it up here, Xiaobei, you wait, go and clean up that pheasant. Hehe, chicken stewed mushrooms, it's pretty good to think about. ”

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile slightly, but he also understood Xingcai's intentions.

Lighting a cigarette and moving it briefly, Zhou Quanbei's brain had regained its clarity.

After all, it is young, the body is like a perpetual motion machine, full of endless power, and at the age of 30+ in later generations, it cannot be compared at all.

Cleaning up pheasants is more troublesome than cleaning up rabbits, but this is not a problem for Zhou Quanbei.

After boiling a pot of snow water, first copying the pheasant in hot water, then removing the feathers and disemboweling it, it was much simpler.

Soon, a colorful and beautiful pheasant has been turned into a white-striped chicken that can be cooked at any time by Zhou Quanbei.

Lu Linglong couldn't help but look dumbfounded, "Xiaobei, you, when did you learn this hand?" ”

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister, you have a lot of men." Later, you will know slowly. ”

Lu Linglong's face flushed slightly, "Go." ”

At this time, Xingcai and the others also returned, and the receipt seemed to be very rich, and each of them carried a small bag of wild mushrooms.

Zhou Quanbei directly put the pheasant in the pot, copied it with oil, and boiled it in snow water, and went up to check the mushrooms they picked.

After glancing at it, Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile, but found that Xingcai was looking at him a little erratically.

At this time, Xie Yufei said: "Xiaobei, there are a lot of beautiful mushrooms over there, and Sister Xingcai won't let us pick them." I can only pick some such ugly ones. ”

Zhou Quanbei smiled, "Sister Feifei, what Sister Xingcai said is right." In the wild, the brighter and more beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. These black, ugly-looking mushrooms you picked are a delicacy in the world. Wait in peace. Come and try my craft. ”

Zhou Quanbei said, took some black wild mountain mushrooms, washed them with snow water, threw them directly into the pot, and added some seasonings.

This mushroom, whose scientific name is 'Bean Black', is only produced in the deep mountains of Fengcheng, and it is usually cooked, and there is nothing special about this mushroom. But as long as you add a little bit of chicken stew, it is extremely delicious, and it is simply the best in the world.

In later generations, a farmer in Funiu Mountain, with this 'bean black' stewed pheasant, opened dozens of super-large chain stores in the entire Dongyuan, made a lot of money, and participated in CCTV's Chef King Competition many times, and won a lot.

Zhou Quanbei's craftsmanship is not comparable with that old gentleman, but he also knows some seasonings, at this time, in this mountain, the freshest mushrooms and the purest pheasants are used, and the taste is naturally imaginable.

Soon, the thick aroma of chicken soup spread with the wind, and these ladies couldn't help but stretch their noses and look at this place.

Even Xingcai swallowed her saliva forcefully, and when she saw Zhou Quanbei looking at her, she hurriedly looked away.

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile slightly, picked a piece of chicken with a dagger and tasted it, although it couldn't be compared with the authentic taste in the old gentleman's shop, but at this time, it was a little more delicious and comfortable.

"Sisters, it's almost, let's go." As he spoke, Zhou Quanbei filled several bowls and delivered them to everyone's hands one by one.

At first, the girls were a little reserved, but soon, they couldn't stand the temptation of the taste of this chicken soup, and couldn't help but eat it, and in the end, there was not even a little soup left.

Xie Yufei was still a little unsatisfied, "Xiaobei, is there anything else?" I don't think I've had enough yet. ”

It's just that, after saying that, her pretty face also flushed a little.

Zhou Quanbei smiled: "Sister Feifei, don't worry. In the evening, I'll get you something fresher. Now, let's help Sister Xingcai solve the gift problem first. ”

In Funiu Mountain, since ancient times, the most famous and valuable thing is a kind of fox.

This kind of fox, which only appears in winter, is red all over its body, and the common people call it 'red fox', and its fur is extremely soft, and I am afraid that no woman can refuse. In addition, the oil made from the fat of its body has an excellent effect on burns and scalds. The price on the black market in later generations, one or two red foxes' ointment, has exceeded 10,000, but it is hard to find.

However, this kind of thing is like an elf in the mountains, and without the luck of going against the sky, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come across it.

Besides, the elders who want to give gifts to Xingcai are afraid that they won't like this thing too much.

That~~, there's only going to be some other big guys.

In the Funiu Mountain, there are still some primitive wild boars and jackals.

Zhou Quanbei briefly described these main specialties to Xingcai, and Xingcai was also a little happy. On the one hand, she really chose a gift for the old man in the family, and on the other hand, she herself really liked this feeling of 'hunting'.

After a brief tidying up, a few people did not stop and continued to march towards the deep mountains.

~~~~

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no sign of stopping.

The further you go into the mountains, the stronger the mountain wind becomes, and the cold and cold are through the bones, but Zhou Quanbei and the women are full of food and drink, and they have the most advanced jackets to protect themselves, so there are not too many big problems.

It's just that the forward speed is a lot slower.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, several people arrived at a col in the mountains.

At this time, after a few people entered the mountain, they had probably walked more than ten miles into the mountain, and there was no trace left by human beings except for the vast mountains and the pine trees covered by wind and snow.

But what is somewhat strange is that in the periphery of the mountain, you can also meet some pheasants and hares, but today a few people walked in for a period of time, but not even a rabbit hair was seen.

Zhou Quanbei and Xingcai were better, but Xie Yufei, Lu Linglong and Xu Qing'er were a little exhausted.

"Sister Xingcai, we may not have good luck today, let's not go in first. Let's rest here for a while. Zhou Quanbei smiled and said to Xingcai.

It's just that there is a faint worry in his heart, but Zhou Quanbei did not reveal it like Xingcai.

In this case, there is basically only one possible situation, and that is that there may be a large beast in the vicinity.

Xingcai nodded, "This wind and snow is a bit too big. Let's take a break here. ”

However, Zhou Quanbei heard a trace of disappointment from her words.

Zhou Quanbei smiled slightly, but did not explain too much.

A few people stopped behind a wind-blocking hill bag, Zhou Quanbei took out the wine jug, and let the girls drink a little to warm up their bodies and go to the cold, while he stood on the dirt bag and looked at the surrounding situation.

With many experiences in the wild, Zhou Quanbei also understands the context of some beast activities.

This thing is like fishing, the more anxious you are, the less likely the fish will be to take the bait.

Xingcai's grandfather, that is a ruthless role in the revolution who followed his grandfather when he was a teenager, he has never seen any strong winds and waves, ordinary little things, I am afraid it is difficult to get into the eyes of his old man.

Although there is a starry separation, even if Zhou Quanbei is 'courteous', his old man may not know. But the human heart is hot after all, isn't it?

After an hour's rest, several people continued on their way.

But at this time, the snow layer was already very thick, probably beyond the ankles, and the steps of several people moving forward became even more difficult.

Due to the consumption of physical strength, the excitement of the women has weakened a lot, but Zhou Quanbei felt another kind of abnormality, and the air seemed to be filled with a restless atmosphere.

"Sister Xingcai, it seems that something is leaning towards us." Zhou Quanbei's nerves had already begun to tense, and he waved his hand to stop everyone from moving forward.

As soon as Xingcai heard Zhou Quanbei's words, her eyebrows also frowned, and she instinctively clenched the sniper rifle in her hand.

At this time, in the pine forest next to it, the trees suddenly shook, the snow fell one after another, and a swarthy black shadow faintly poked out of the woods.

"Xiaobei, yes, it's a wild boar!" Lu Linglong's eyes were very sharp, and she was the first to notice the abnormality, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, and hurriedly covered her small mouth.

Xie Yufei and Xu Qing'er, the two daughters, couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly leaned behind Zhou Quanbei.

Zhou Quanbei's nerves also tensed, and the shotgun was already in his hand.

Damn, I wanted to come in with the whole little guy, but who knows, I would run into such a big guy.

Although it is still far away, but only according to visual inspection, this wild boar, I am afraid that there must be a 5 or 6 hundred catties up, which is the wild boar?

This is clearly the king of wild boars.

Xingcai was excited, she held the gun tightly, waved her hand and said to Zhou Quanbei: "Xiaobei, you take them back a little first." Leave this big guy to me. ”

As she spoke, the 'click' pushed the chamber of the gun and began to aim in the direction of the boar.

Zhou Quanbei hurriedly waved his hand to let the women behind him retreat to a rock, but he was not at ease and let Xingcai face the huge wild boar alone, and he was busy.

At this time, this 'wild boar king' obviously felt the hostility of several people, roared a few times, and saw snowflakes splashing behind it, just like a small armored car with full horsepower, 'plopping and plopping' towards this side.

Zhou Quanbei's nerves also tensed up all of a sudden.

The shotgun in his hand may have a good effect on a rabbit or a jackal, but in the face of this thick-skinned behemoth, the power will inevitably be greatly reduced.

If it's not super close, I'm afraid it won't be able to do too much damage at all.

But Zhou Quanbei just wanted to open his mouth to tell Xingcai a few words, but Xingcai calmly pulled the trigger, only to hear a crisp sound of 'bang', and Xingcai shot a point, right in the direction of the wild boar king.
