"This valley is relatively secret, and no one else has discovered it but me! I've checked, and there's no danger in the valley. Wait here for a while, I'll go back and get some spices, and we'll have a barbecue here!" ”

Although the Zhao family lives at the foot of the mountain far away from Dongshan Village, Zhao Han has also heard that the old lady of the Yu family is thrifty to the point of picking the door. The Yu family doesn't see meat a few times throughout the year, and the fish can't be sold, so they eat it once in a while.

"Go, go! Go and come back soon!! After shuttling in the mountains and forests for more than two hours, Yu Xiaocao's two big buns in the morning were almost consumed. A picnic in such a picturesque valley is a great place to eat.

"Second sister! There are fish in this stream!! The little stone washed his hands by the mountain stream, and when he saw the palm-sized fish shuttling in the cracks of the stones, he hurriedly took off his shoes and grabbed them with his hands. The small fish swam nimbly in the water, and he couldn't catch it.

Yu Xiaocao had been holding the broken crockpot in his hand, and when he heard this, he immediately ran over with great interest: "Look at me, I'll use the jar to scoop ......."

Hey? The fish were so strange that when they saw the jar coming, instead of running, they gathered around as if they were bait.

Xiao Shi was also surprised, and said to himself, "Oh! I know!! The buns were packed in crockpots, and there was a fragrant smell of meat buns in them, and the small fish must have been hungry, so they were attracted here. Let's grab more and go back to stew soup! ”

There are more and more small fish near the crockpot, swimming around as if there is something in the jar that attracts them extremely much. Don't...... The aura of the small mending stone still has the effect of acting as bait?

Yu Xiaocao put the multicolored stone on his wrist into the jar. The crockpots were lowered into the deeper streams, and the small fish were eager to squeeze into the pots. After a while, the crockpot was densely packed with small fish, crowded like sardines. Some can't squeeze in, lingering at the mouth of the can. There is a growing trend of fish......

[Good you Yu Xiaocao! I actually used this god stone as bait!! You, you...... It's just too much!! The voice that had been silent for a few days sounded in Yu Xiaocao's ears again.

Gradually, a small golden ball of light slowly rose from the mouth of the can. The formed small mending stone is the image of a fried-haired little golden cat, grinning at Yu Xiaocao, glaring, scratching his paws and cocking his tail.

"Huh? Little Mending Stone, are you finally awake? Has the spirit been restored? Yu Xiaocao exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Shi looked at her and blinked, and asked puzzledly, "Second sister, what did you say?" Are you talking to me? ”

Xiaocao then remembered that others couldn't see the spirit form of the Little Heaven Replenishing Stone. She touched the tip of her nose and said with a little embarrassment: "I was talking to myself, I didn't talk to anyone - you take out the jar carefully, there are enough small fish in it!" ”

You're so stupid that you can't even communicate with me with your divine sense. So, whatever you want to say, go through it in your head, and I'll hear it! Seeing that she was embarrassed, Xiao Mending Tianshi somersaulted in the air and teased mercilessly.

Yu Xiaocao didn't care, and continued to ask, "Have you recovered all your spiritual power?" ”

[How can it be so fast!] Last time, in order to heal your injuries, this divine stone almost exhausted all of its spiritual power. If you hadn't just put me in the mountain stream, and the aura in the stream here hadn't been destroyed, I would have been able to barely show up. In this space, the aura is too weak—but it's a hundred times better than the world before you came. 】

[No more! My spiritual power is still too weak now, and I can only manifest for a short time. I'm gone, remember to soak my body in the stream for a while! The golden light of the small mending stone flickered a few times, and then disappeared from the grass's sight.

"Oops! Second sister, come on, there are too many small fish! Why don't you put it on with a straw rope and take it home? Little Stone looked at the little fish in the crockpot and smiled from ear to ear. There are so many small fish, enough to cook a big pot of fish soup. With it, grandma will be less nagging!

Thinking of the delicious fish soup, Xiaocao also grinned: "Put it in the jar first, the weather is too hot, and if you die, it will stink after a while." You pick a few bigger ones first, and we'll bake them and eat them later! ”

So saying, she came to the mountain stream and put the multicolored stones into the pebbles at the bottom of the stream. Fortunately, the little mending stone has woken up, and the spiritual power will not be released indiscriminately. Otherwise, attract all the fish or other animals in the stream, and it will be bad!

"Brother Han, look at the fish we caught!" Xiaoshi picked out a few small wild fish that were half a foot long, and showed off to Zhao Han, who was hurrying over.

Zhao Han was surprised to see so much surplus in the jar: "The fish in this stream are the most flexible, I have tried many times, and it took me half a day to catch one or two." You've been working so hard for a while, and you've caught so much? Any tips? He also taught Brother Han. ”

"I mean, it's the little fish that swims into the jar on its own, do you believe it or not?" Little Stone asked mischievously with a mischievous look on his face with his big eyes flashing.

Zhao Han laughed, lifted him up and threw him up, caught it in the screams of the little guy, and said, "You think your brother Han is so foolish, don't you?" You might as well say that the pheasant flies into the rice pot, and I might believe you. Well, let's grill and eat! ”

When Zhao Han returned home, he brought all the spices, and even cumin was a spice. Yu Xiaocao looked at the ingredients he brought back, and looked down at the familiar yellow-brown powder.

"That's cumin, haven't you seen it? In the early years, when Emperor Jianwen was still the emperor's grandson, he went to Nanyang and brought it back. There are also chili peppers, it is said that Emperor Jianwen is not spicy or happy. Cumin and chili peppers, not everyone is used to eating them, and I can eat them. If you don't get used to it, you can skip it. "Zhao Han and his old man can't eat without spicy food.

At this time, chili peppers had not yet become popular, and the dishes on the Yu family's dinner table were all produced in the vegetable garden, so naturally there were no chili peppers. There is no oil, no spicy and only some salt is put in the boiled vegetables, if it is not hungry, Yu Xiaocao really can't eat it.

Seeing the red and bright chili powder, as well as cumin, star anise, cinnamon, cumin and other spices, Xiaocao had to admire Zhao Han for being a really big eater and being able to collect so many seasonings.

Zhao Han took over the work of cleaning up the hares and turtledoves, and watched the little stone with a croak. Yu Xiaocao automatically picked up the firewood spontaneously, and turned his head to look at the two from time to time: this little boy of twelve or thirteen years old, picking rabbit skins and dissecting internal organs, is quite skillful in his movements, and he is used to doing it at a glance.

Soon the fire was lit, and the hare was smeared with salt and all sorts of seasoning powders, and was roasted on the fire. The turtledove was stuffed with spices, covered in mud, and roasted in the fire. Wild eggs prevent the heat from bursting, and they also roll a layer of wet mud and roast around the flames.
