Chapter 462: Hunting

Lu Yangge wiped his hands, walked to the door, and stood under the eaves and looked out.

"There is a mountain on the other side, you send someone to ask General Chen if they have gone into the mountain to hunt."

The villagers don't have much to eat, and if they stay here longer, they are afraid that all the live animals in the nearby villages will be sold.

There is nothing to eat in the township, and there is always some prey in the mountains.

They were in a hurry, and they didn't meet birds and beasts on the road, but everyone was in a hurry at that time and didn't care.

Now that it's empty, and you're stuck in this place where birds don't, it's better to find some game, and you can satisfy everyone's cravings.

The people sent by Yun Shu quickly replied, and General Chen said that he knew, and he had gathered a thousand people to enter the mountain in batches.

In other words, several hills near the town of Jianwan, they are all ready to go in and have a look.

Of these thousand people, except for the guards around the princess in shifts, the rest of the people have Yulin Guards and Princess Mansion guards. A team of 100 people, even if they encounter wild boars and beasts on the mountain, they have knives and guns, they are still practiced, and they are not afraid at all.

It would be better if you could meet wild boars and beasts, and the pheasants and rabbits in the mountains taste okay, but they are too small to stuff their teeth.

If you can catch a few wild boars, tigers, and black bears, everyone can take their turn to drink broth.

The first five teams set off first, one team separated from each other, and the other five teams, waiting for the people in front to come back, they went again.

Hearing that their team was at the back, they were all in a hurry, fearing that the game on the mountain would be killed by the team in front, and it would be their turn to work in vain.

In the end, Chen Xiaohu had no choice but to let the remaining five squads and one squad separate from each other and go up the hill from the opposite side of the front squad.

Although they walked half an hour earlier than the previous five teams, they were only halfway up the mountain at the earliest, and some had just reached the foot of the mountain.

Sending out these idle people whose bones hurt, Chen Xiaohu carried two old hens and sent them to Lu Yangge to stew soup.

Yunjuan happily took the old hen and called Yun Shu to come over to help. Two chickens, one killed the stew, and the other was tied with a rope and raised for two days before eating.

Originally, the two maids who didn't touch the spring water with their fingers after entering the princess's mansion are now killing chickens and fishes without changing their faces.

Soon, the smell of old hen soup wafted into the kitchen.

Standing in the position where Lu Yangge was, as far as his eye could see, there were five mountains on the left and right, the highest had not yet entered the clouds, and the shortest was only a dozen stories high.

Through the white snow, you can see the lush trees on the mountain, even on a snowy winter day, the mountain can see that the trees are lush, the mountain is not high, but it is not ordinary people can enter.

I don't know if these officers and soldiers will give the whole mountain to Huo Huo when they enter the mountain, and these local people will not know how to scold them at that time.

Lu Yangge is not worried at all, they will encounter danger in the mountains.

If they can't even conquer this small hill, they are not worthy of staying in the princess's mansion, let alone being called the emperor's personal guards.

Roll out the white flour, kill the water with the wead, chop the pork with the filling, add the egg and stir it until it is viscous, and then pour the chopped and water-killing water into it and stir evenly, and the filling can be prepared to make dumplings.

Yun Juan Yunshu two people, one rolling dough, the other making dumplings, and soon, there were several rows of white-flour dumplings with big bellies and round waists neatly arranged on the board.

There are more than 240 dumplings, 50 for General Chen, 30 for the father-in-law at the table, and 50 for the princess and the three of them. The rest is frozen outside, fried for the princess at night, and steamed out tomorrow.

By the time Chen Xiaohu came to eat dumplings, the first batch of people to enter the mountain had already returned.

There is indeed game in the mountains, but because it is winter, it is not easy to search. The first group of people only went out to hunt a dozen pheasants, dig out two rabbit nests, and catch three nests of bamboo rats.

A hundred people can't eat enough by themselves, but everyone is not in a hurry, anyway, there are a few squads behind, and there are always squads that will have a big harvest.

In the afternoon, the teams that entered the mountains came back one after another, and the game outside the camp tent was almost piled up into a hill.

Pheasants, hares, turtledoves, and pigeons, a team of people poked the wild boar's nest and caught a litter of wild boars with two large and four large ones.

It seems that the whole family has been brought by them.

There was also a team that dug up more than a dozen snakes. Snake Lu Yangge didn't send it here, they peeled the skin and removed the gall themselves, and stewed a pot of snake soup beautifully. I heard that the people who went there also fought in order to grab the snake gall, and the winner was eligible to enjoy it.

The more than 20 people in the room were so busy that they were sweating profusely, and Chen Xiaohu transferred another twenty or thirty people to help them.

At this dinner, the smell of meat wafted out for miles, and even the other side of the mountain faintly rose from smoke, as if looking at something.

On the fifth day, the snow stopped, but the roads were not easy to drive.

Early in the morning, Chen Xiaohu sent 500 people out to continue to look for game in the mountains, but left 500 people unmoved.

When he came, Lu Yangge had just eaten a bowl of millet porridge and a few steamed dumplings.

Steamed dumplings are stuffed with pork with vegetables wrapped yesterday, it is a taste when it is boiled at noon, and it is another taste when it is fried at night.

Lu Yangge was very satisfied with the food, and didn't feel anything wrong.

Yun Juanyun Shu already felt guilty, and the two muttered and discussed on the side, going to the countryside to see if they could buy fresh vegetables.

Some people go up to the mountains to hunt, and there is no shortage of meat, but there is still a shortage of vegetables. You can't eat turnips and vegetables every day, let alone princesses who eat too much, even they can't eat them as slaves.

After Lu Yangge finished breakfast, Yun Juan cleaned up the table and made a pot of tea, and Yun Shu also put the small stove for cooking tea next to the table.

This is not only warm, but also can heat the tea soup without getting cold.

"The brothers who went to the back mountain yesterday came back and said that the mountain behind the town, turn over, and then turn over another mountain, which is the mouth of the sea. Standing on the top of the mountain, they could faintly hear the sound of the rolling waves. ”

Chen Xiaohu looked at Lu Yangge, who was sitting in front of the window admiring the snow, his eyes were slightly downcast, "Yangge, anyway, there is nothing to do here, I'll take you over to have a look." ”

Lu Yangge withdrew his gaze from the snowy scene outside, turned his head and replied, "I'm going to take a look?" What to see? The sea? ”

It's not like she's never seen the sea.

If she hadn't made this trip to Lingnan, she would have drifted across the ocean with the big ship she built to a place where no one could find her.

Chen Xiaohu stood up and glanced at Lu Yangge deeply: "You haven't always wanted to go to sea, what kind of country to go to, this side is very close to Haikou, but it is only about two hours after crossing two mountains." I'll take you to see it, maybe you won't want to go to sea. ”

Lu Yangge looked at Chen Xiaohu, and always had a very strange feeling in his heart.

They stopped in this town and now are going to take her to see the sea.
