Chapter 47: Barbecue
"What are you doing?" Liu Man'er saw Ye Yuan's movements, and asked with some puzzlement: "Could it be that you plan to make a stove for me to cook?" But you don't have a pot. ”
"I'll roast you chicken." Ye Yuan smiled at Liu Man'er, "You wait for me here, I'll go find some firewood."
So saying, he took the wood knife and turned away.
Liu Man'er pursed her lips, and it was boring to stand in place, so she pulled some grass and fed the living rabbits in the back basket.
These little rabbits were a little frightened when they saw the living people, but they had forgotten that it was this person who took them away yesterday, and now when they saw the food, they all poked their heads out and rushed to eat the grass.
Liu Man'er thought it was funny, and pulled a few more handfuls to feed the rabbits.
There was a lot of firewood here, and soon, Ye Yuan came back, holding a bundle of firewood in his hand and two thumb-thick wooden poles.
"Are you going to prepare something to bake for me?" Liu Man'er saw the two wet woods in his hand, and thought that he could use this small stove to roast.
"Yes." Ye Yuan nodded, took out a chicken from the back basket, and cut off two roe deer legs with a firewood knife.
The scene was a little bloody, Liu Man'er turned her back on her face, although she ate it, but she hadn't seen them clean it up with her own eyes, I saw Ye Yuan put the roe deer leg into the river to wash it, and then dug out the internal organs of the chicken and threw it away, but the hair was not plucked.
Liu Man'er was a little puzzled, Ye Yuan said that she would know later.
Then Ye Yuan washed the two wooden poles the thickness of his thumb, then sharpened them, and finally put the roe deer legs on the wooden sticks.
He handed it to Liu Man'er to hold, and he supported the firewood, Liu Man'er was curious about how he made the fire, but he took out a fire fold from his arms.
"Why do you have everything?" Liu Man'er was still thinking about how he would make a fire later, was it to drill wood to make a fire? Or take the flint and slam and knock it?
As a result, he actually brought a fire fold!
"I'm used to it." Ye Yuan replied casually.
"You're really a good habit." Liu Man'er laughed, "Are you used to bringing these when you were a soldier in the past, or are you used to carrying some when you hunt?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, when I go out and go up the mountain, I will take things like fire folds with me." Ye Yuan said as he lit the fire.
He put the dry leaves on it, which were flammable, and the flames soon came up, and in a short time the dry branches were also ignited, and the fire was fierce, and the willow vine was ready to set the two roe deer meat on the fire.
"Wait, wait for the fire to be small, otherwise the legs of this robe will be scorched." Ye Yuan stopped Liu Man'er's movements, but opened a hole in the center of the firewood and threw the chicken just now.
Liu Man'er realized that the reason why he raised this firewood was to roast the chicken, and the reason why the chicken didn't pluck its feathers was also here, but she was a little curious about whether the chicken could be eaten when roasted like this?
It's just that she can't bake it, so don't put her beak on it, and if it's not delicious, just ask Ye Yuan is question.
The flame that had just jumped up became calmer, Ye Yuan took the roe deer leg in Liu Man'er's hand and roasted it slowly, no wonder some people said that serious men are the most attractive, and men who are serious about cooking food are even more attractive.
This sentence is not wrong at all, the firelight is lined with Ye Yuan's angular face, although he is just wearing ordinary clothes and roasting two roe deer legs in the countryside, but Liu Man'er feels that Ye Yuan at this time is very attractive to her.
However, what attracted her more was the food in his hands.
"This is not salted, can I eat it?" Liu Man'er asked stupidly.
"You can eat it raw, let alone cooked?" Ye Yuan turned his head and glanced at her with a smile, "Besides, do you like meat the most?" ”
The implication is that you didn't pick anything before, and now you're worried that you can't eat it without salt?
"I'm just asking." Liu Man'er replied a little stupidly, such a wild barbecue is really a novel test for her, even if she went to the barbecue in her previous life, she also brought all kinds of spices, cumin, chili, oil and salt, etc., this is nothing, for her, it is really a novelty.
Sitting on the side of the roasting fire, waiting for the food by the way, Liu Man'er's eyes widened, Ye Yuan saw her like this, and smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
"Why isn't it ripe yet?"
It's just half an hour later, Liu Man'er smelled the fragrance of the roe deer legs, the original taste, pure natural food, it was really fragrant, especially when she was hungry at the moment, this smell greatly challenged her taste buds, so she couldn't help but swallow her saliva and looked at Ye Yuan with her eyes.
"Don't worry, wait." Ye Yuan said and continued to roast, Liu Man'er was almost drooling when she waited on the side, there was no way, she could only sit by the stream and wash the loquat, and then eat the loquat to pass the time.
While eating, she took the roe deer leg that was roasting in Ye Yuan's hand, like a rich man who was greedy for money, eating what he had in his hand, but he was still worried that others would finish her pot.
"Alright." After Liu Man'er meowed many times and ate almost half of the loquat in the basket, Ye Yuan finally roasted the roe deer legs.
He took it and put it to his nose and sniffed, "Well, it smells so good." ”
Liu Man'er walked up to him and looked at him blankly, then opened her mouth, "Give me a taste." ”
Ye Yuan tore off a small piece, blew it on the side of his mouth, and then sent it to Liu Man'er's mouth, eating delicious meat, Liu Man'er couldn't help but stretch out his thumb to Ye Yuan, "It's delicious, it's just the disadvantage of salt, if I come out with you next time, I must bring some salt and put it on my body." ”
"Next time, not so much next time." Ye Yuan handed a roe deer leg in his hand to Liu Man'er, "Next time we go back early, we don't have to roast and eat in this mountain." ”
"No, your skills are so good, you will be responsible for the meals at home in the future." Liu Man'er said sincerely.
Ye Yuan glanced at Liu Man'er, "Are you disgusted that your mother's food is not delicious?" ”
"I don't mean to, I just love the feeling of you cooking food for me." Liu Man'er said with a smile.
"Then I also like the feeling that you cook for me, when will you cook for me?" Ye Yuan looked at Liu Man'er.
Hearing Ye Yuan say this, Liu Man'er remembered that as a daughter-in-law, she was responsible for the meals and other housework at home, but she seemed to have only opened her mouth to eat all along, and every time the Fang family cooked for the family, and the housework was generally done by the Fang family.
If this was in someone else's house, a lazy daughter-in-law like her would have been swept out of the house a long time ago, and she would still be able to live freely.
"Okay, when the time comes, I'll cook, I'll be tired." Liu Man'er said seriously.
"Forget it, you don't even know how to burn a fire, the food you cook, tsk......"
"Are you disgusting me?" Liu Man'er raised the tail of her eyes and squinted at Ye Yuan.
"Nope." Ye Yuan hurriedly shook his head, "Come, eat, it won't taste good when it's cold." ”
I just ate a lot of loquats, but now Liu Man'er is also full, this roe deer leg is delicious, but after all, there is no salt taste, and all of them are meat, after eating a little half, Liu Man'er is also tired, fortunately, Ye Yuan is here, she will not waste it.
Recently, the standard of living is still good, at least you can eat white rice every day, and you can also eat meat, so Liu Man'er is not so greedy.
After Ye Yuan finished eating, she washed her hands and called out to go home.
After all, her feet still hurt a little, and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to walk fast.
Ye Yuan told her not to worry, and said Wait a minute, you can't walk, I'll carry you.
"How did you become so proactive and so nice to me?" Liu Man'er felt a little strange, is this still the same Ye Yuan from before?
"Of course, you're my wife, and I'm not good to you?" Ye Yuan smiled and extinguished the firewood, but said to Liu Man'er, "You wait for me here, I'll go out to hunt and come back." ”
Liu Man'er was standing by the stream, picking up a handful of cold water and preparing to wash her face, after hearing Ye Yuan's words, she parted her hands, and the water in her hands fell into the stream with a bang.
"What should I do if you leave and I'm here alone, and I'm taken away by a tiger?" Liu Man'er turned and said, the sun casting shadows on her face through the branches, but the anxious expression on her face could still be seen.
"Don't worry, there will be no tigers here, and there will be no signs of large animals nearby." Ye Yuan picked up his bow as he spoke, turned around and prepared to leave.
What's the matter with you, I said I wanted to go home and you said wait a while, and now you're going to leave by yourself. Liu Man'er wanted to go hunting with him, but it was hard to say, after all, she was injured in her foot and wanted to rest for a while.
Therefore, she could only say sullenly: "Then you go, I will wait for you for a quarter of an hour, and if you don't come back in a quarter of an hour, I will leave by myself, leaving you here to feed the tigers." ”
"Okay, I'll be back soon, you wait for me here." Ye Yuan said and picked up the firewood knife and walked forward.
Liu Man'er was a little angry, but she could only sit down sullenly, anyway, there were a few big stones by the stream, and it was comfortable to lie on it, but she was very bored, and she didn't dare to sleep, for fear of any snakes, insects, rats and ants.
After waiting for a while, I finally heard footsteps coming, Liu Man'er deliberately closed her eyes, hum, let you go by yourself, I pretended to be asleep and ignored you.
However, when the footsteps walked in, she didn't hear Ye Yuan call her name, Liu Man'er felt a little strange, and finally opened her eyes, but saw a handsome young man in a blue cloth dress standing not far from her.
"Hey, who are you?" Liu Man'er felt a little strange, there were still people in this ghost place?
"Oh, girl, don't be afraid, I'm a medicine boy who went up the mountain to collect medicine, and I just passed by here and wanted to drink saliva." The handsome young man said to Liu Man'er.
"Drink, it's fate to be able to meet you in this mountain, so I won't charge you money." Liu Man'er stood up generously and gave up her place to the young man.
I never thought that in addition to hunting, there are also woodcutters and medicine pickers in this mountain, so there are really a lot of people in this mountain.
