Chapter Seventy-Five: Camping 4
It's a pity for both of them to find a herd of deer but can't hunt them, but there's no way, it's not hunting season, even if the deer herd twists their butts in front of you and provokes, you have to be patient and walk away, this is not a pasture!
"It's hunting season in mid-September, so apply for a few hunting slots and we'll camp again!" Qin Yi saw that Ryan was a little obsessed, and explained with some amusement, at such an old age, he still couldn't let go like a child.
"Aha, I love hunting season! Yi, you may not know it, young people nowadays don't like hunting anymore, they get bored and would rather sit in a bar and drink beer! But we old cowboys all have a deep affection for the activity of hunting.
When you are young, hunting is not only a recreational activity, it is first and foremost a livelihood guarantee, and if you are lucky enough to hunt a moose, you don't have to buy meat for a winter. At that time, if you don't know how to hunt, haha, it's likely that no girl will take a fancy to you! ”
Qin Yi listened to Ryan's words quietly, and he also had some emotion in his heart, with the development of society and the popularization of machinery, young people have gone to bustling big cities to pursue their dreams, and there are fewer and fewer real cowboys. Of course, there is no right or wrong, the times are evolving, and each period has different ideas.
Back at the camp, Qin Yi began to arrange things, Trevor and Colin set up tents, Liu Qimeng took Koloe and Christine to pick up dry firewood, Susa took care of Angel and sprinkled insect repellent by the way, anyway, they had their own division of labor, Qin Yi and Ryan were responsible for cooking.
Today's dinner, Qin Yi thought about it, there are still 7 or 8 pheasants in the morning, and it should be very good to make a chicken stew with potatoes, and it is not a matter to roast meat all the time, so you have to change the taste.
"Qin Yi, Qin Yi, we found something good!"
As soon as Qin Yi chopped the chicken into large pieces, Liu Qimeng and the three of them held a pile of dry firewood, shouted when they were far away, ran to him, threw away the dry firewood, and one in each hand, they came to him with mushroom-like things, and showed off their faces, "Look, mushrooms!" How's that, we're amazing! ”
Qin Yi also likes to eat mushrooms, but mushrooms in the wild can't be careless, and when he encounters poisonous mushrooms, something will happen. He took a closer look, these were two kinds of mushrooms, the cap was flat, the umbrella surface was smooth, and there was no smell, so they should be edible.
"This should be a pine lactation mushroom, which is very different, I remember that it seems to be a kind of mushroom found in subtropical regions, and it was not uncommon in my hometown when I was a child." This mushroom with a similar color to shrimp, a thin cap, and a thin and straight stalk, Qin Yi knows, it is an edible mushroom, and it tastes good, but the other one is not recognized. Both mushrooms were handed over to Ryan to see, he had lived here all his life and should know him.
"Well, Yi is right, this is a pine lactobacillus." As he spoke, he carefully observed another mushroom, the cap was yellowish, very thick, and the white stalk was also very thick, "This is mound porcini mushroom, there are many of them in the southwestern United States, you can occasionally see it here, you can eat it, and it tastes very good." ”
Sure that they were all edible mushrooms, Liu Qimeng and the three of them were very excited, as if they had done something amazing.
"Let's pick a little more and come back and have mushroom soup in the evening!" As he spoke, he was about to run out.
"It's getting dark, grab the camping lights and go again, be careful." Seeing them bring lamps and small backpacks, picking mushrooms with great interest, Qin Yi shook his head and smiled, let the black rice and wheat follow, and then continued to cook.
In about ten minutes, the chicken was stewed with spice packets, and the mushroom-picking girls came back, with a backpack full of mushrooms, Qin Yi was very surprised to see it, this is to find the mushroom nest!
Praise them a few words to satisfy their sense of achievement, Qin Yi carefully sorted the mushrooms, Ryan was washing the potatoes, Susa didn't have anything to do, so he came to help cook, Angel didn't care, this snack was the most well-behaved when it was time to eat, pouting his little butt and squatting next to Qin Yi, staring at the chicken stewed in the pot with big eyes, that cute look, everyone who saw it wanted to go up and kiss it, no, the three of Kolo had nothing to do, they teased around her, and discussed who was more beautiful, either herself or Susa. Topics such as which dish Uncle Yi cooks the most.
Time passed slowly, the stew pot gurgled and rattled, Qin Yi added some ingredients every once in a while, potatoes, chicken livers, mushrooms, and the rich aroma of meat filled the camp.
Trevor and Colin, with Ryan's help, had already set up their tents, and were sitting around the stew pot with everyone at will, the sky was full of stars, the forest breeze was blowing, smelling the smell of meat and grass, laughing and playing with each other, forgetting the troubles of the world for a while, leaving a quiet and comfortable heart.
Slowly, as the aroma became more and more intense, everyone's thoughts also shifted to this pot of soup, Qin Yi took a look, the chicken had been cooked crispy, and the potatoes had become soft, okay!
If you can, you can start eating, and you will be hungry early in the afternoon.
Let Susa serve a large bowl of each, and eat it hot, while he made McGee feel the fish rack for a while, and cooked it all brown bear and dog dinner. Pat McGee's head and praise a few words, this big guy, two meals at noon and night, thanks to the fact that he has been fishing, otherwise the dogs' food would not be so good.
The chicken soup came out of the pot, and everyone was not welcome, so they started to eat it, and Angel saw that her Uncle Yi was still busy putting a kettle on the fire, and ran over with a piece of big chicken thigh, holding it high to feed him.
Qin Yi looked at the little girl's expectant eyes, smiled and ate it in one bite, and then kissed Angel, which made the little girl unhappy, and pouted, "Uncle Yi has a lot of oil, and the kissed Angel's face is all over it!" As he spoke, he took out a small towel from his pocket and wiped it.
"Okay, uncle was wrong!" Qin Yi looked at her cute appearance and apologized with a smile, "Angel forgive your uncle once!" ”
"Alright then, just forgive Uncle Yi once!" Angel looked very generous and nodded her little head, which made Susa and everyone laugh, with such a villain, life is really much more interesting!
The chicken is crispy, the potatoes are soft, the mushrooms are tender, and the soup is even more fragrant.
Everyone has a tender yellow chicken liver in the bowl, except for Qin Yi and Liu Qimeng, everyone is eating it for the first time, without hesitation, pick it up and taste it, the delicate and tender taste, the unique fragrance, immediately attracted a lot of people, of course, not everyone likes it very much, like Ryan, Trevor and Colin, they just think it's not bad, but if you really say you love to eat, it's an exaggeration.
But Kolo and Liu Qimeng they both like it very much, especially Angel, this girl gulps down the fragrance, Susa is also happy to see it, Qin Yi said in the morning, the nutrition of chicken liver is very good, Angel likes to eat the best, and grows up healthy and healthy!
Qin Yi saw that everyone had eaten almost, remembered the bottle of fruit wine in the bag, and just took it out for a drink, as well as other fruits that he brought, this time he came out, he didn't bring many apples, and there were more small fruits like dates and plums, and it was very nice to eat as a snack when chatting.
"Oh my god, you even brought this!" Christine saw Qin Yi get up and come back with a bottle of wine, and she didn't have to guess to know that it was the delicious fruit wine, and she was suddenly pleasantly surprised!
"Wow!" Chloe quickly jumped up, took the paper cup and distributed it to everyone, it was really a joy to have a glass of delicious fruit wine at this time.
"Aha, I have to say, Yi is really good at enjoying it!"
"Colin, it's a good thing to have a good time, let's have a drink! God, I was just thinking that it would be best to have a glass of fruit wine on this quiet night! ”
Trevor still had a look of surprise in front of him, but in the end, he had a look of yearning and nostalgia.
Qin Yi shook his head and smiled, and poured him half a cup, "It seems that God heard your heart!" ”
"Yes, I want to thank God! Yi, it's good to meet you! Trevor smiled, his voice was calm and sincere, and he raised his glass to Qin Yi from afar.
When Kolo heard this, he put away his joking attitude and raised his wine glass. Thinking about the past few days, Qin Yi is generous, kind, kind, and kind, and he said that he entertained everyone, used delicious fruit wine, coffee and fruits, and took him to play, as a rich man, he personally cooked for the friends he just met, he was really a good person.
Other people also have their own feelings, Susa remembered that after meeting Qin Yi, Angel became a normal child, and her life became more exciting; Liu Qi dreams of that night at the hotel and her current job; Ryan remembered the changes in the ranch and the generous treatment of the cowboys
For a while, everyone looked at Qin Yi silently, raised their wine glasses, and was grateful, happy, or happy, etc., complicated and difficult, and always sighed: It's good to know you!
"Oh God! I think I should warn you, Trevor, that I like a beautiful woman like Chloe, not to mention being so affectionate that the ladies misunderstood, I'm going to punch you twice in the nose! ”
Seeing that the cheerful camping picnic was about to turn into a bloody thanksgiving meeting, Qin Yi hurriedly made a joke to dispel this bad sign!
