Chapter 15 Sheep Soup

Cut a handful of long grass from the side and tied it to the rabbit, and Da Zhuang put it in the back basket behind Sun Chen.

"That's great, you've got something to gain." The envy in his tone made Sun Chen's face hot.

"Don't worry, we can find prey later, there will always be a chance."

"Well, I'll definitely hit it next time!" Da Zhuang muttered to himself as if he had taken an oath.

"Well, that's not necessarily." Not to be outdone, Sun Chen raised the stone he was holding in his hand, "I'm very powerful!" ”

"Then let's see who is the best of us!" Da Zhuang is not to be outdone.

While listening to the two of them bickering, Lin Tieli shook his head with a smile, and simply slowed down his pace to give them a chance.

The creek is indeed a blessed place for hunters, and Sun Chen and they are really lucky, a not long road, and four rabbits and four pheasants came out, so that Sun Chen and Da Zhuang had a good performance.

In the end, Sun Chen hit a total of two rabbits and a pheasant, Da Zhuang harvested a rabbit and two pheasants, and the rest of the two rabbits were shot to death by Lin Tieli with a bow and arrow, and a pheasant flew too fast and escaped, which made Da Zhuang straight.

"Alas, if I had played more accurately, the pheasant would have been ours!"

"Be content, you! Today is a coincidence, usually prey haunts are not so frequent. Lin Tieli was afraid that they would think that hunting was really so easy, so he gave them vaccinations.

"Hehe, I'm just saying, whoever let us have good luck can't stop it!" Da Zhuang laughed. The second uncle used to bring back how much prey he brought back every time he went up the mountain to hunt, and how long he stayed in the mountain, he had a count, and it was indeed lucky for them to have so many harvests today.

Finally walked to the realm where Lin Tieli set a trap, maybe he came a little more diligently, and there was no prey in it.

"Okay, the first time you two go up the mountain, we can be regarded as a big harvest, so we won't spend the night in the mountain, eat some dry food, and we'll go down the mountain!"

It was already past noon, and they were indeed a little hungry, and the three of them sat by the stream and hurriedly finished eating dry food, Lin Tieli waved his hand, and they walked down the mountain with a heavy basket on their backs.

It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down, not to mention that they all carry a lot of things on their backs. They supported each other, and it took an hour and a half to finally reach the foot of the mountain. Returning to the small courtyard of Da Zhuang's house under the curious eyes of the people in the village, Sun Chen almost didn't get tired.

"Brother, you're back?!" Erniu and Yanzi both saw their brother enter the door at a glance, but one ran over to check Sun Chen up and down to see if he was injured, and the other silently helped them unload their prey, and then brought a basin of water and put it aside, then turned around and shrank into the house.

"Yo, you've gained a lot this time!" Aunt Zhu looked at them with a smile. "This goat must be seventy or eighty pounds!"

"Well, it's just that some mutton can't be sold at a price, at most it's only six or seven dollars a catty." Lin Tieli took the cloth towel from his sister-in-law's hand and said with some regret.

"If the mutton is sold cheaply, let's keep some mutton to eat, and send some to the waiting family, and sell the rabbit and pheasant, and you two should have a happy event in the autumn, and save more money to welcome your younger siblings into the door."

"Alas, I listen to my sister-in-law." Lin Tieli nodded a little shyly.

Lin Tieli said last winter that the three girls who were waiting for the family, and the two families had agreed to hold a happy event after the autumn harvest.

"Let's have mutton soup tonight!"

Lin Tieli disemboweled, peeled the skin and removed the bones, cleaned them one by one, put the sheep skeleton into the cauldron and boiled slowly, the mutton left the one to be eaten at home, and cut off a six or seven pound weight and put it aside, which was to be sent to the waiting family. The rest of the mutton and other prey had to be sent to the restaurant in the town as soon as possible, and it was still too hot for anything to be stored at home.

Lin Tieli had to do these things alone, and Sun Chen wanted to follow, but he really didn't have the strength to continue on his way.

"I'm going to deliver the meat first, and I'll take you around town tomorrow." Pushing up the full wheelbarrow, Lin Tieli walked quickly away from the small courtyard.

On the way back, Sun Chen and Da Zhuang had already discussed with him, and this time they sold their prey, and the two of them were going to the blacksmith shop in the town to get some things, and they wanted Lin Tieli to take them there.

When he came back, it was already dark, Lin Tiezhu entered the door with him, and the two happened to meet in the town.

The mutton soup in the pot has also been boiled to a thick milky white color over slow heat, and the meat is also boiled. Aunt Zhu took out the sheep skeleton and put it in a basin for Sun Chen and them to gnaw, and then added two cabbages to the mutton soup, put it in a bowl and sprinkle it with chives.

For a farmer like them, the usual food is not very good, and a bowl of mutton soup and soaked corn flour tortillas are really delicious.

Even if Sun Chen had eaten all kinds of dishes when he didn't cross over, he had no power to resist in the face of such food, so he simply opened his belly and drank two bowls of soup before putting down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Kill me!" Da Zhuang put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "Mother, will we still make mutton soup in the future?" ”

"It's beautiful!" Aunt Zhu said angrily, "You're not too young, why do you only think about what to eat and drink all day long?" When can you have the ability to set up a household? ”

"What do you mean by thinking about eating and drinking all day long, isn't it just to eat and drink?"

"You're going to raise the bar with the adults!"

Sun Chen was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and said that he seemed to have been stronger than Da for two months.

But Aunt Zhu is right, he is not small, he should think of a way to support a family, a home for him and his sister.

After eating, Sun Chen said goodbye to his sister and left, there are still a lot of things left at home, such as a quilt for sleeping, grandma Sun Yang is only willing to let Sun Chen take a bed, and my sister still needs to borrow a night at Da Zhuang's house, and wait until tomorrow when I have time to go to the town to buy it, so that I can go home.

On the way back, there were still people enjoying the coolness, and someone recognized Sun Chen and joked to him.

"Yo, our little Orion is back? What's the matter, I heard that you have gained a lot from going up the mountain this time! ”

"What a little Orion, I just followed Uncle Tie Li up the mountain to see for a long time." Sun Chen smiled and played with him.

"You don't have a share in bringing the prey back?" The man obviously didn't believe it, and asked Sun Chen with a pout.

"Uncle Tie Li is not that kind of person, he can say, everything I hunt is my own." Of course, Sun Chen won't discredit Uncle Tie Li, "It's just that I don't know anything yet, and I haven't hunted anything good." ”

As for what Sun Chen got specifically, he didn't want to say it, the Lin family village was not big, maybe this word would reach his grandmother's ears, and he didn't believe that she wouldn't come to find trouble at that time.

Sure enough, everyone and everything are casually talked, and as soon as he walked home, Sun Chen saw someone he didn't want to see at the door.
