"I don't think it will live long, so let's take it back and roast it and eat it."

Song He'er nodded, took two leaves to block the eyes of the wild goose, Chundi pinched the wings of the wild goose on the side, picked it up and returned the same way.

Zhang Xiu'e was still making clothes for herself at this time, and when she saw the two of them coming back, she hurriedly put down the work in her hands.

"What's that, rabbit?"

Chundi shook her head and said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, it's not a rabbit, it's a wild goose!" ”

Qin Xiaoniang's face was full of shock, and she asked in disbelief: "Where did you find it, we haven't seen a single bird shadow here!" ”

Chundi pointed to the birch forest not far away, "It's the front, fortunately we went to find it." ”

Zhang Xiu'e and Qin Xiaoniang glanced at each other, "This thing is good, but I can't make it, how can I eat it and roast it?" ”

Song He'er thought about it for a while, she remembered that in modern times, wild geese are smoked whole, and the taste is beautiful.

First, the wild geese are boiled with a variety of condiments, and then the pot is stuffed with smoked materials, and the wild geese are put on the shelf to smoke for two hours.

It's better to roast it directly, although the meat is tighter, you can always eat it quickly......

"Third aunt, just take out the internal organs, and then marinate them with salt and roast them!"

Zhang Xiu'e thought about it again and again, so she had to nod, "I'm still thinking about whether to make soup and drink, but when I think about it, we don't have much water, so let's save some." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xiu'e began to disembowel, cleaning the fur on the wild goose.

Li Qiang's daughter-in-law raised her eyes and looked at the sky, and reminded on the side: "These fishy things, find a place to bury them, the smell of blood is too strong, don't invite anything unclean......"

"That's right, this kind of thing is spiritual, and it is possible to find it when it smells, so it's better to be cautious." Qin Xiaoniang replied.

After Li Qiang's daughter-in-law buried the internal organs, she cleaned the bloodstained geese with a little water with a little water and salted them.

Zhang Xiu'e was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly dressed the wild goose with a stick, put it on the fire and began to roast.

"This wild goose has to be six or seven pounds, right?"

"Yes, it's enough for us to eat."

It is not easy to find a meat to eat in the wild, Song He'er is also lucky today, she can meet a wild goose, but if you go to the desert, I am afraid that there is only the thorny cactus.

Sister Nian smelled the fragrance here, and her stomach rumbled with hunger.

Zhang Xiu'e looked at Sister Nian'er's greedy appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Nian'er hasn't eaten meat for a long time, right?" I'll give you my mother's share in a while. ”

"Mother, I'll just eat a little, don't eat your share, you have to do a lot of work every day, and Nian'er can't bear to let you eat enough."

Qin Xiaoniang pulled Sister Nian over and held her in her arms with relief, "Our Sister Nian is really sensible, but this wild goose is enough for all of us to eat today, Sister Nian doesn't have to worry." ”

Brother Huan and Su Yu's daughter-in-law's two children are relatively young and can't eat too greasy meat, so they have to boil an egg for each of them.

Although the weight of the wild goose is sufficient, it is not much in everyone's hands.

The big guy is also hungry, and if he wants to fill his stomach, he has to eat a sweet potato.

After eating, everyone kept the food by their side to prevent it from being lost at night.

The shack on the side was not large, only enough for the children to sleep together, and the rest of the people had to sleep outside.

Song He'er still has to find a way to solve the problem of sleeping, the weather is warm now, and sleeping outside is nothing, but if it is autumn, it will inevitably be cold at night, and it will hurt people's muscles and bones.

"He'er, put on my mother's clothes, so that it won't be cold in the middle of the night!"

Qin Xiaoniang took off her coat and handed it to Song He'er.

"Auntie, you're sleeping outside, why are you still undressing me? I'm not cold, besides, I'm not making new clothes, I'll just cover this. ”

As she spoke, Song He'er stuffed her clothes back to Qin Xiaoniang.

Brother Huan slept soundly, snuggled up to Song He'er's side, and obediently slept until dawn the next day.

Li Qiang's daughter-in-law fried some celery early in the morning, and everyone simply ate two bites, and then started to hurry again.

After walking for a long time, I came out of the birch forest, and now, except for the wide dirt road, I couldn't see any forest and vegetation.

"Mother, Nian'er is thirsty!"

Zhang Xiu'e stopped her steps, took out the water bag from her side, and let Sister Nian take a sip.

"Our water is really getting less and less......"

Li Qiang's daughter-in-law comforted: "This is good, if those officers and soldiers are here, I'm afraid we won't even be able to drink a sip of water, and we have to look at his face, be content......

"Hey......"

After a while, Sister Nian suddenly pointed to a thatched hut in front of her and shouted, "Mother, look, there is a house in front of you!" ”

Song He'er stopped her steps and looked up, and sure enough, there was a simple thatched hut not far away.

But I heard the people of that day say that this piece is under the jurisdiction of Xizhou, how can there be a family in this place? Isn't it a detailed work to inquire about the news at the border, in order to monitor every move in the Central Plains?

Zhang Xiu'e was in a better mood and wanted to go up to get some water, but was stopped by Song He'er.

"Third aunt, I'll go, look at this house, it's just an honest farmer, the child is good to talk to, maybe people pity me, really give me something?"

"Are you doing it alone?"

"No problem!"

After that, Song He'er turned back to Su Yu's daughter-in-law and asked, "Mrs. Zhou, how many eggs have we saved in the past two days?" ”

Su Yu's daughter-in-law turned her head and counted them and said: "Twenty eggs were laid in two days, eight were eaten, and there are twelve left, plus the fifty we picked up on the bank of the Huai River, almost, about sixty-two......

"Give me thirty eggs."

"Huh? Thirty? What do you want these for? ”

"We have to exchange eggs for things, the conditions in this place are so difficult, presumably people don't want to give us in vain, I think, we still lack a bigger tent, and some cold cotton, if we can exchange it, I want to exchange it!"

Qin Xiaoniang felt that this was a solution, after all, the big guys had been sleeping on the grass for the past few days, and it was really cold.

"Okay, don't be reluctant to let go of these eggs, don't we still have chickens? Zhou Niangzi, you can take thirty eggs and give them to He'er! ”

Su Yu's daughter-in-law nodded, got into the car, picked out more than thirty eggs, put them in the box, and handed them to Song He'er.

"Can you carry it?"

Song He'er smiled, "It's okay, how heavy can thirty eggs be, you guys are waiting for my good news here!" ”
