Chapter 69: Eating Bird Meat
"Hold on too tightly, this bird is about to be caught by you." Liu Yimeng saw that Liu Yile was holding it too tightly, and after the bird in Liu Yile's hand stretched out his neck and gasped, Liu Yimeng hurriedly said.
"Hmph". Liu Yile ignored Liu Yimeng, snorted in his mouth, but his hand was loose, and he didn't grasp it so tightly, after seeing Liu Yihao bring the chicken cage, Liu Yile hurriedly opened the chicken cage and put the bird in his hand, and then put it in the chicken cage.
"Okay, sixth sister, seventh brother, eighth sister, you quickly catch the birds and finches in the back basket, and you will have time to play later."
"Okay, big sister, I'll come." After Liu Yimeng heard that her eldest sister let her go up, she was excited, looking at this as if she was going to do a big job.
"Sixth sister, seventh brother, you wait for me." After the eighth sister saw her sixth sister and seventh brother reaching out to catch the birds in the back basket, the eighth sister was suddenly anxious, for fear that after she was a step late, the birds and birds in the back basket would be caught by the sixth sister and the seventh brother.
Liu Yiyu looked at their sisters and brothers fighting, innocent, and carefree, and felt that this life seemed to be good, the family had no money, but they were content and happy.
The sisters and brothers of the Liu family happily hunted birds, and the outside of the bamboo house of the Liu family was full of laughter like silver bells.
Until Liu Li asked everyone to eat, everyone still meant it.
"What are you doing outside? Laughing so happily, even my mother can hear your voice when she is cooking in the kitchen." Liu Li said with a smile to his children.
"Mother, the eldest sister has come up with a way to catch birds, you see, we have caught so many birds, the eldest sister said, maybe these birds can be sold for money?" Liu Yile ran over, hugged Liu Li's thigh, raised his head and said to Liu Li.
"Really, mother, you see". After Liu Yimeng saw that Liu Li didn't believe it, he put the cage with the bird in his hand and mentioned it to Liu Li.
"Really? Big sister, this bird can really be sold for money." Liu Li was a little surprised to see that he had caught so many birds, but when he thought that he could sell these birds for money, Liu Li asked his own family.
"Mother, this daughter doesn't know, wait for Zhang Xin to come over next time, let's just ask, even if these birds can't be sold for money, we can also have bird meat to eat? No matter how small this bird is, it doesn't have meat, does it?"
"Eldest sister, the sixth sister hasn't eaten bird meat yet? Eldest sister, why don't you cook a meal of bird meat tonight and give it to grandma and mother." Liu Yimeng looked at Liu Yiyu pitifully.
"As for you, you haven't eaten much?" Liu Li nodded Liu Yimeng's forehead and said.
"Cheng, the eldest sister will make it for you to eat tonight, try it all."
"Big sister, you're so nice". After Liu Yimeng saw that the eldest sister agreed, she said to Liu Yiyu flatteringly.
Even after the seventh brother and eight sisters heard that they could eat bird meat at night, their sisters and brothers clapped their hands and ran around Liu Yiyu.
Liu Yimeng caught birds in a few small afternoons, and he was even more energetic.
The number of birds caught in the afternoon is nearly twice as large as in the morning.
At the end of the day, the Liu family caught more than 40 birds in the morning, and in the afternoon, Xun'er took Liu Yimeng and three small ones, and caught nearly 100 birds, and the amount of a day added up to more than 150 birds.
Fortunately, this is ancient times, there is no industry and polluted environment, and these birds and finches have no natural enemies, and they reproduce quickly, otherwise, let the Liu family catch birds like this, I am afraid that the birds and finches near this ravine village will be caught by the Liu family extinct.
Rao is Liu family caught nearly 100 birds, and Liu Yiyu didn't think there were many birds missing in this mountain.
Liu Yiyu agreed to Liu Yimeng, saying that after making bird meat for them tonight, Liu Yiyu took Liu Yihao back early in the afternoon.
When Liu Yiyu and the others came back, Liu Yiyu saw that the fourth sister took Xun'er, Liu Yimeng, Liu Yiyang, and Liu Yile to boil water and pluck bird feathers, and several people were busy.
"Fourth sister, how many birds have you killed". After Liu Yiyu came to the kitchen, he put the fish he caught in the fish tank and said to the fourth sister.
"Thirty". The fourth sister replied.
"That's too little, fifth brother, you go and kill thirty more birds." Liu Yiyu frowned when he heard that only thirty birds had been killed.
These sparrows, quails and partridges are too small, the heaviest ones are only three taels, and the lighter ones are only more than one or two, there are so many people in the Liu family, where are thirty birds enough for the Liu family to eat.
What's more, Liu Yiyu looked at the birds killed by Liu Yiya's sisters and brothers, all of them were smaller, and I was afraid that killing thirty birds would not be enough for the Liu family sisters and brothers to eat a few bites.
"Eldest sister, we haven't eaten bird meat either, just tasted it, in case this bird can be sold for money and given to us to eat, wouldn't it be a pity." Liu Yimeng first heard his eldest sister say that he would kill thirty more birds, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he could feast on himself, but Liu Yimeng thought again, wouldn't it be a pity if these birds could be sold for money and eaten by himself, and suddenly, Liu Yimeng was a little entangled.
"It's you who wants to eat birds, why the eldest sister killed too many birds, the sixth sister was reluctant, the fifth brother, after eating a meal of bird meat, don't be reluctant, listen to the eldest sister, kill thirty more, if you can't help it, you can catch more birds and come back."
"Cheng".
On this night, Liu Yiyu stewed a pot of potatoes with thirty whole birds, and used twenty birds to stir-fry with ginger, onions, garlic and chili peppers, and the remaining ten birds, Liu Yiyu stewed a pot of soup.
After eating a meal of bird meat, after the Liu family sisters and brothers tasted the freshness, these days, a few small Zhengri around the open space outside the bamboo house to catch birds, but after a day or two, the Liu family sisters and brothers found that slowly as the days passed, the birds that could be caught became less and less.
It's not that the birds in the vicinity have been caught, but that these birds, like people, have been deceived once or twice, and they have also learned well, and they don't even go to the trap set by Liu Yimeng and them to eat the food inside.
However, Rao is like this, in the past few days, the Liu family sisters and brothers have also caught nearly 300 birds, of which sparrows are the majority, followed by quails and partridges.
Liu Yiyu separated these birds and finches separately and locked them up.
"Zhang..., Zhang Gongzi, drink saliva". On this day, it happened to be the day to make an appointment with Zhang Xin to get fish, and the second sister held a glass of water and handed it to Zhang Xindao with a reddish face.
"The second sister of the Liu family called me by my name, you are so polite." Zhang Xin's ears were slightly blushing, and he hurriedly waved his hand at Liu Yisa.
