Chapter 10 Bird Hunting on the Outskirts of the City
The next day, in a small forest on the outskirts of Yanyun City
Li Ping'an sat on the snow a little bored, looking at Yang Hao and Wang Liang on the side, although their faces were red from the cold, they were still looking at the "trap" they had arranged from afar with excitement on their faces.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, children are easy to be satisfied, but it is just a small trap for catching birds, which can make them happy for a long time, and it is really good to be so carefree.
Although it was indeed boring to do these things with them at his real age in his thirties, after all, this was something he promised Yang Hao, so he had to come today.
Thinking like this, the next second he turned his head to meet a gaze that gave him a little headache.
The owner of the sight was wearing a red jacket somewhat similar to him, a snow-white velvet hat, and even a big red scarf around his neck, fully armed, leaving only a small and delicate cheek exposed.
Li Ping'an glanced at her with a wry smile, isn't this girl in front of her Yang Hao's sister Yang Yanyu? And at this moment, her big watery eyes were full of scrutiny, as if there was something on Li Ping'an's face.
The corners of Li Ping'an's mouth twitched slightly, he didn't know which tendon the old man Yang had smoked, why he had to let Yang Yanyu follow him when he heard that Yang Hao was going to go out with him. Could he still want them to be a six-year-old kid and a twelve-year-old girl to develop a relationship together?
"Sister Yanyu, what are you doing looking at me like this?" Li Ping'an waved his hand at her and asked helplessly.
Yang Yanyu came back to her senses when she heard this, and when she thought that her future husband in front of her was actually calling herself "Sister Yanyu" at this moment, she felt a little awkward in her heart.
However, she still looked at Li Ping'an and replied: "It's nothing, I'm just curious, you're only six years old this year, where did you learn these things?" And, will you really be able to catch a bird in that way? ”
Li Ping'an shrugged his shoulders, he naturally wouldn't tell Yang Yanyu that this was a skill he would have in his previous life, but he smiled slightly and said:
"These are very simple things, I learned them all from the people in the house. If you don't believe it, Sister Yanyu, you'll know if you can catch it later. ”
"Hey, you're quite angry, so what if you catch it?" Yang Yanyu said with a slight pout.
I don't know why, when communicating with Li Ping'an, she always has an inexplicable urge to quarrel with him.
Although he was only a six-year-old child, from his body, she couldn't find the feeling of sister and brother when facing Yang Hao.
"Naturally, I ate it!" Li Ping'an gave her a strange look.
But in my heart, I muttered, why does this girl ask such an idiotic question? Could it be that Yang Hao didn't tell him what this sister was doing today?
"What?!" Yang Yanyu, who was originally fine, suddenly widened his eyes, and when he looked at Li Ping'an, who was taken for granted, with a shocked face, he shouted.
The twelve-year-old girl's voice was already high-pitched, and coupled with such a close distance, Li Ping'an felt pain in her ears and frowned.
After feeling the gaze of the two "good friends" not far away, Li Ping'an glanced at her speechlessly, and then could only repeat again:
"I said I ate it! What's wrong? ”
"You! The bird is so pitiful, why do you have to eat it? Yang Yanyu's eyes widened and he asked angrily.
After Li Ping'an heard this, he suddenly cried and laughed, glanced back at Yang Hao, how could he not understand what was going on after seeing his dodging gaze?
It turned out that this little girl's love was overflowing, but Yang Hao, the bastard, didn't dare to tell his sister the truth, but in the end, he wanted him to be this villain!
After Li Ping'an quietly wrote this down to Yang Hao in his heart, he looked at Yang Yanyu with a smile and asked:
"Then Sister Yanyu thinks we shouldn't eat it because it's pitiful?"
"yes!" Yang Yanyu straightened his small chest and nodded very seriously.
"Then I have a question to ask Sister Yanyu, when you are at home on weekdays, don't you eat those chickens, ducks, fish, geese, cows, sheep, and pork?" Li Ping'an asked with a smile.
"Of course I eat it, but what does it have to do with it?" Yang Yanyu asked suspiciously.
"Then don't you want to think, isn't it pitiful that those animals are slaughtered and made into dishes? How? Does Sister Yanyu think that birds flying in the wild are pitiful when they are caught and eaten, and the livestock in captivity at home deserve to be slaughtered? Li Ping'an spread his hands and said very badly.
"You! I... That was not what I meant! Yang Yanyu's momentum suddenly wilted.
"Okay, okay, I know Sister Yanyu doesn't think like this. But since you can eat those poultry, Sister Yanyu, then we can naturally eat birds, Sister Yanyu, right? Li Ping'an asked with a smile.
Yang Yanyu: "Hmm......"
She naturally had nothing to say, although she still felt weird, but she felt that Li Ping'an made a lot of sense.
Li Ping'an was amused in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little bored, how could he still fight with a twelve-year-old child.
"Hehe, Sister Yanyu, in fact, the roasted bird is really delicious, if you don't believe it, you can taste it later."
"I... I don't eat! Yang Yanyu hurriedly shook his head.
Although she could barely accept Li Ping'an's remarks, she still couldn't accept it if she wanted to eat it herself.
"Really? That's a pity, I can only say that it's a unique taste in the world! Li Ping'an said with a look of pity for you.
"Poof! You little kid talk a lot, you've only lived for a few years, how much have you eaten? Do you know what is the best taste in the world? Yang Yanyu was still a little nervous in his heart, but when he saw Li Ping'an's appearance of this living treasure, he couldn't help laughing.
Li Ping'an's eyes widened, and he wanted to refute, but he heard Yang Hao and Wang Liang on the side suddenly shout: "It's coming!" Li Ping'an, come and see, a bird has taken the bait! ”
The two of them suddenly couldn't talk anymore, and quickly got up to look. Especially Yang Yanyu, she was very curious about these.
The trap laid by Li Ping'an is actually the simplest kind, a cage supported by a wooden stick, with bait in the cage and a rope tied to the wooden stick.
When the birds are inside, they can easily catch them by pulling the rope from a distance.
This time, their receipt was okay, and a total of two cages were arranged, and four birds were caught at once.
Then it was time for Li Ping'an to be busy, after all, a few of their little children couldn't help at all, and in the process of dealing with the birds, Yang Yanyu didn't even dare to look at it twice.
He took the birds to a nearby creek and cleaned them up before returning to their "base". Here, there's the "oven" they built last time.
After marinating the cleaned birds with a special sauce, the birds are then roasted in the "oven" where the fire is lit.
Roasted birds are mainly the most tedious work in front, Li Ping'an has been busy for most of the day, and he is tired of sweating on his forehead in the deep winter of this month.
And after being tired, hunger naturally swept in, looking at the golden bird on the grill, Li Ping'an couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly. I have to say that after not eating it for a while, I really miss that taste.
And just when a few people were drooling around the stove, a handkerchief full of fragrance suddenly appeared on Li Ping'an's forehead.
Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head, he saw Yang Yanyu who was sitting on the side and was helping him wipe his sweat with a serious face, looking at her pretty cheeks full of seriousness so closely, he couldn't deny that his heartbeat did suddenly leak.
"Smoke... Sister Yanyu, I'll do it myself. So Li Ping'an hurriedly said.
Yang Yanyu was not reluctant, and let him take the handkerchief in his hand. It's just that her eyes when she looked at Li Ping'an again were full of curiosity, because Li Ping'an's performance today was too unexpected for her.
"Brother Ping'an..."Wang Liang, who was sitting opposite Li Ping'an, said cautiously.
"Huh?" Li Ping'an glanced at him.
Wang Liang is a few months younger than him, and he is the grandson of Wang Jin, the secretary of the ministry, and he likes Brother Ping'an to follow him for a long time and a short time.
And don't talk about him, even Yang Hao, who is a year older than him, doesn't he follow him like a fart all day long? After all, it is normal for them to become like this when they are so many years older than their real age.
"Is this little bird roasted?"
Wang Liang pointed to the stove in front of them, and his saliva was almost gone. This can't be blamed on him, mainly because the taste is so fragrant that even Yang Yanyu, who was sitting next to Li Ping'an and kept saying that he wouldn't eat, quietly swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
Li Ping'an glanced at them funny, returned the handkerchief to Yang Yanyu, and then sprinkled it with his homemade powder for the last time, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you can eat it!" ”
"Wow! That's great! ”
"I'm hungry!"
"Whew! Call! ”
Yang Hao and Wang Liang immediately cheered and took a bunch of birds, and while blowing violently, they endured the burning and sent the roasted birds to their mouths.
Li Ping'an had long been accustomed to the appearance of their starving ghosts reincarnated, and after shaking his head with a smile, he picked up a string unhurriedly, and took a bite lightly after blowing it cold.
The fragrance suddenly filled his mouth!
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is really a unique taste in the world!
For a moment, Li Ping'an only felt that his stomach was full of satisfaction!
The outer skin became crispy and delicious under his just right heat control, and when he took a bite, the oil aroma of the skin mixed with the aroma of the tender meat inside instantly hit his taste buds! Supplemented by the taste of his special sauce, Li Ping'an felt that he had lost the words to praise it.
Alas~ It's too cheap to have a friend of your own, these two guys! Li Ping'an said with emotion in his heart.
A bird is not big, and the wolf spits and swallows the tiger, so it will naturally be solved by Yang Hao and them quickly.
The two of them glanced at Li Ping'an, who was still slowly eating the roast bird in his hand, and then looked at the roasted bird that was still left on the stove, and after swallowing his saliva, he couldn't help but quietly stretched out his hand.
"Smack!"
Hearing a crisp sound, Li Ping'an took a bite of the bird meat, and then a stick was drawn on their hands.
"Ouch!"
"Brother Ping'an!"
"What do you two want to do?" Li Ping'an glanced at them, especially the little fat man Yang Hao.
This bastard guy was just made a note by himself, so he wants to steal it!
"Hehe, Li Ping'an, no one will eat this string anyway..."Yang Hao said with a flattering smile.
"Who says no one eats?" Li Ping'an interrupted him with a glare, then looked at Yang Yanyu, who had swallowed saliva many times on the side, and asked softly, "Sister Yanyu, this last string is specially reserved for you." You see, if you don't eat, then the three of us are really not good to distribute~ or... You're just going to make it hard to eat, aren't you? ”
"Hmm... All right. ”
Yang Yanyu's eyes looked straight at the skewer of roasted birds, if it weren't for what she said before, she would have been unable to help it.
Now that Li Ping'an has handed the steps to her feet, how can she refuse?
So Li Ping'an held back a smile, and in the longing and loss on Yang Hao and Wang Liang's faces, he handed the last string of roasted birds to Yang Yanyu.
Looking at the cute appearance of Yang Yanyu, who quickly finished eating it and almost bit his tongue, Li Ping'an couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, the "Law of True Fragrance" has once again exerted its skills!
"Oh! It's really delicious! In the eyes of Yang Hao and Wang Liang, Yang Yanyu, who had finished eating the roasted bird, finally let out a cheer of satisfaction.
"Hey, how's it going? I didn't lie to you, did I? In that case, our game time today can be considered complete..."
Li Ping'an just wanted to announce the end, but was suddenly interrupted by Yang Yanyu.
"Li Ping'an, let's go hunting birds again, shall we?"
"Huh?"
"I haven't eaten yet, I want to eat again!"
"Oh! All right! Agree! ”
"I agree too!!"
"Huh? I haven't agreed yet! ”
"Three against one, opposition is invalid!! Let's go! ”
