Chapter 4: Roasted Sparrows
Although the trap is simple, sometimes it is very effective, especially when no one has used it before, but in just one hour, Ye Yun and they caught more than a dozen birds, most of which are sparrows, there are eleven of them, and the other Ye Yun doesn't know what kind of bird it is.
Ye Yun's chosen place was a bit remote, so no one came to disturb them, and looking at the birds and sparrows that were tied together with a rope, Li Yun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he was so hungry, and although these birds and finches were still a little insufficient, he couldn't help it, and looked at Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu who were staring at the trap intently, Ye Yun's heart moved, and he smiled sweetly: "Brother Xiaofan, Xiaoyun'er is so hungry, let's roast sparrows and eat them, okay?" As long as you sprinkle a little salt on the sparrows and put them on the fire to roast, they will be fragrant and delicious. ”
Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu, who were staring at the trap intently, were stunned for a moment when they heard Ye Yun's words, they didn't understand, aren't these beautiful sparrows used to raise and play? Why does this little cloud have to be roasted and eaten? However, when Ye Yun said this, they also felt that their stomachs were a little hungry, and although these birds and finches looked bright and cute, they hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so there was no doubt that they were moved.
Ten minutes later, Lin Jingyu sneakily ran back with a fire fold and a small bag of salt in his arms, less than a minute after Lin Jingyu came back, Zhang Xiaofan also sneakily ran back, carrying a sheathed knife in his arms, which was used to deal with sparrows for a while.
Although Ye Yun and their place are remote enough, they also have a shortcoming, that is, there is no water, and if there is no water, it is impossible to clean the treated birds and birds, so the three of them discussed it and decided to let Lin Jingyu and Ye Yun go to a small stream not far away to deal with these birds, while Zhang Xiaofan continued to guard this trap here.
The creek is not far from where they just was, it is only one hundred and ten meters, and the amount of water in the creek is not large, and the deepest part is only less than the knee of an adult, probably to Ye Yun's waist, the stream is unusually clear, and the swimming fish in the water are clearly visible, but unfortunately there is no way to catch it.
It is not difficult to deal with sparrows, just pluck the hair, and then remove and clean the head and heel entrails, and Li Yun's job is to pluck the feathers from the sparrows that have been killed.
At first, because the two were not familiar with each other, they handled it very slowly, but slowly, the movements of the two became more and more proficient, and the processing became faster and faster, and more than a dozen sparrows soon turned into pink and tender meat.
Carrying the processed sparrow meat, Ye Yun hummed a little song that he didn't know what it was and followed behind Lin Jingyu, while Lin Jingyu walked back and picked up the dry wood on the ground, when they returned to the place where they caught sparrows, Ye Yun was pleasantly surprised to find that when they were dealing with sparrows, Zhang Xiaofan caught three sparrows with that trap.
Now that the meat is there, the firewood is also available, as long as the fire is lit, it can be roasted, and Ye Yun is too young, without waiting for him to do it, Zhang Xiaofan and they will take care of the whole thing, one of the two of them will make a fire, one skewer of sparrow meat and smear it with salt according to Ye Yun's requirements, and when Zhang Xiaofan makes a fire, Lin Jingyu's sparrow meat is also dressed, sixteen birds, Ye Yun six, Zhang Xiaofan and the two of them have five each, Ye Yun's skewers are two, one skewer is three, and Zhang Xiaofan They also skewered two skewers.
It stands to reason that it is best to use charcoal for barbecue, but Ye Yun is so hungry that he can't wait for these firewood to turn into charcoal, as soon as the fire is booming, Ye Yun can't wait to pick up one of the strings of bird meat and start roasting, Zhang Xiaofan and they also do the same, but they have not grilled meat like this before, so they don't know how to master the distance between the meat skewers and the fire, plus the child is a little impatient, put it closer, the meat in the front quickly changed color, and is changing to black, Ye Yun saw this and hurriedly reminded them, but the two of them still went their own way.
Two or three minutes later, bursts of meat wafted up, but Zhang Xiaofan and the others were not complacent, because they found that although their meat was cooked, it was also burnt, and only part of it could still be eaten, and the first ones had completely turned into charcoal.
"I said, don't worry, the meat is scorched now, so ah, sometimes it's good to listen to others." Saying that, Ye Yun also showed off holding the barbecue skewer that he was sizzling and turning around a few times, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu looked at Ye Yun's barbecue skewer that was not charred at all, and were envious, and after taking down the fully cooked sparrow in front and eating it, they carefully observed Ye Yun's movements, and followed suit.
A few minutes later, the sparrows on the wooden stick in Ye Yun's hand turned yellow, and they had been completely cooked, Ye Yun, who was already hungry, couldn't care about burning his mouth, and after blowing a few times, he bit down, and with a crunch, half of the roasted sparrows were bitten off, although only a little salt was sprinkled, but the taste was quite good, not only full of chewiness, but also a special fragrance, so that Ye Yun even chewed the crispy bones and swallowed them.
Three sparrows are not much, Ye Yun killed them all in three and five divided by two, and Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu were faster, they had already eaten when Ye Yun ate the second one, and when Ye Yun finished eating the second one, they all roasted another skewer.
After tasting the taste of roasted sparrows, the two of them can be described as extremely positive, and they did not forget to stare at the trap in the distance when they were roasting, of course, Ye Yun was the same, but most of his attention was on the roast, unlike the two of them who had to look up at the direction of the trap in a few seconds, so the color of the barbecue of the two was worse than Ye Yun's, but at least it was not roasted.
Flipping the skewers in his hand again, Ye Yun looked up a little carelessly and glanced at the trap in the distance, since they started to barbecue, there were no sparrows in the trap to eat the rice anymore, so he seemed a little careless, but this casual glance made Ye Yun's heart jump violently, because he saw an incredible scene, a chicken-sized, colorful pheasant was in the trap they set and bowed its head to eat the rice inside, and only the long tail of the huge body was left outside the bamboo basket.
Although I don't know why this pheasant came running, how can I not want the meat delivered to my door? So Ye Yun grabbed the rope next to him and pulled it hard, and the pheasant was covered by the falling bamboo basket, and at the moment when the pheasant was covered, Ye Yun had already inserted the sparrow string in his hand on the ground, and when Zhang Xiaofan and they found that the pheasant had been caught, Ye Yun had already run out.
Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu didn't expect them to be so lucky, this simple trap could not be simpler to catch a big pheasant, but they were surprised, their movements were not slow at all, after learning Ye Yun to insert the skewers in his hand into the ground, they flew straight to the trap, and quickly crossed Ye Yun, successfully arrived before the bamboo basket was knocked over, and held down the bamboo basket.
