Chapter 22: Gourmets are Deserted

After a big turn, Huang Wudao finally found the two dogs who were crowded in the crowd and listened to the people's talk about the mountains.

"Ergouzi, let's go! Brother will take you to catch the Leather Pig!"

He grabbed the second dog by the collar and pulled him out.

Half an hour later.

In the dense forest, the two dogs, carrying bows and quivers, followed behind the barren road, wandering in the forest.

After a long while, Ergouzi finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wangcai, where are we going?"

"Kids, where do you get so much?" said Akino, leaning over and picking up a handful of purple bracken, scolding.

He now carries a basket of wild plants.

For example, wild pepper, wild wolfberry, wild hemp fruit, millet chestnut, etc., are all natural pollution-free condiments.

To be honest, there is nothing else to cook in this era except salt.

It's okay to eat occasionally, but after a long time, a bird fades out of my mouth.

For the self-proclaimed master of food, stepping into the road of cultivating immortals is endless, and he only has the hobby of pursuing food.

If you can't even satisfy this, how is it different from salted fish?

When he was on Earth in his previous life, although he was in the valley for a long time, he still maintained the life of ordinary people, and his favorite thing was to taste food.

It's a big deal to get these impurities out of the body later, and it doesn't take much trouble anyway.

"Okay! so many spices are almost enough!" Aramuchi clapped his hands, stuffed the basket into Ergouzi's arms, and took the bow and arrow from his hand.

"Brother Wangcai, you still hunt?" the second dog looked at the strange wild vegetables and fruits in the basket in confusion, and scratched his head.

"Heh, what are you talking about?" Huang Wudao glared at him, "There are many brothers! Not to mention hunting, even going to heaven and earth!"

He is telling the truth, after cultivating to enter the Jindan period, the void is crossed, and the earth escapes into the ground.

"You stay away!" said Akinodao waved his hand at the second dog behind him.

Not far away, an adult elk was standing by the bushes, bowing its head to feed, from time to time vigilantly pricking up its ears, looking up and looking around, and then continuing to eat.

"Oh!" Hearing this, the second dog hurriedly ran to hide under the tree dozens of meters away.

According to the estimate, the elk is about two hundred meters away, and under normal circumstances, this is out of the effective range of the bow and arrow, and the bow can't even shoot that far.

However, what Huang Wudao was holding in his hand was a heavy bow of one and a half stones, which was already the best heavy bow in the palace, and the range of two hundred meters could still be reached.

As for the effective range, don't forget that he is a cultivator, and he can be opened legally!

To be on the safe side, he cautiously moved forward a few tens of meters, shortening the distance to less than one hundred and fifty meters.

Then, slowly, he drew his feathered arrow, rested it on the bowstring, and aimed closely at the elk in the distance.

Faintly, a trace of purple-black mist surged between his fingers, and his arm was forced, and his bow body gradually pulled into a full moon.

"Boom!" the sound of breaking through the air sounded, and an arrow shot out.

At this time, the elk may have noticed the abnormal noise and subconsciously raised its head.

At this moment, a pillar of blood soared.

"Yo~~" A terrible howl sounded, the elk was unstable, shook, and then threw himself forward, twitched a few times, and no longer moved.

"The quality of this broken bow is really poor......" Huang Hongtian looked at the cracked bow and shook his head.

He threw away his longbow and walked towards the elk's position, and the second dog hurriedly followed.

I walked up to the elk and crouched down to see that the entire body of the feathered arrow was inserted into the elk's skull, revealing only the tail feathers the length of a thumb.

And the elk was naturally killed on the spot.

Although the Leather Pig was not caught, it seems to be quite good to get a Leather Deer back......

"Brother Wangcai, you are so powerful!" Ergouzi winced and glanced at the tragically dead elk, and said in a trembling voice.

"Look at your cowardice......" Huang Hongtian pouted.

Then he took off his robe, revealing the short coat underneath, and then wrapped it around the elk and tied it in a knot.

"Let's go!

He casually put the elk on his shoulder, led the two dogs, and returned along the way he came.

By the time the two of them returned, it was already getting dark.

By the way, in this era, except for high-ranking officials and nobles, ordinary people only ate two meals a day, morning and noon.

Therefore, the palace camp in the middle was filled with smoke, and the servants were preparing their meals.

And the surrounding people can only sit together in twos and threes, chatting.

When the absurd and untouched elk appeared in everyone's sight, it immediately caused a lot of commotion.

After all, in early spring, although it is not as cold as winter, there is still a slight chill when the breeze blows.

And the desolate road is only wearing a profane clothes, which hinders the view, and makes people subconsciously tremble when they look at it.

In addition, what is more noticeable is the prey he carries.

You must know that in this era, there is a saying that 'elk in the mountains is guilty of eating'.

Of course, this is not to say that ordinary people are not qualified to eat elk.

Rather, it is because of 'mountains, rivers and forests, the lord of taxation', except for private land, everything in the country belongs to the royal family.

Hunting is not allowed, only a small number of qualified hunters are allowed to do it, and they have to pay taxes.

Therefore, during the spring hunt, private hunting is allowed within three days, so that so many people in the county will follow.

It's just that the spring hunt will officially start tomorrow, which means that you are still not allowed to hunt privately today.

Moreover, on the first day of spring hunting, only nobles can go into the mountains to hunt, and only after that it can be the turn of ordinary people, which is also a rule of law over the years.

Otherwise, the people will flock into the mountains and forests, which will disturb the prey and affect the hunting of the nobles.

Huang Wudao is so blatantly carrying the prey through the market, looking at the dress that does not look like a dignitary, no wonder the onlookers look like fools.

It's just that Wild Dao doesn't know about this stubble, and even if he does, he won't care.

Didn't Confucius say that the old man said: Those who do not know are fearless, and those who know - take care of me!

He found a large open space by the creek, prepared to process the ingredients, and by the way, he took Ergouzi to get some necessary cooking tools for himself.

Living up to the name of a gourmet, the method of handling ingredients is exquisite and sophisticated.

A sharp-tipped knife flew up and down in his hand, disemboweling and disemboweling, like a cow, and quickly disposed of a whole elk.

At the same time, the wild condiments that were collected were also simply processed.

There are also quite a few edible fungi in it, which can be used to make a large pot of mushroom soup and serve it with roasted whole deer...... It's appetizing to think about!

And while he was handling the ingredients, the children who followed him from among the people gathered around, all curious to watch him go about his work.

Seeing that the ingredients are almost processed, the second dog hasn't gotten the tools yet.

Deserted simply sat on the grass, instantly turned into a fairy tale king, and began to tell stories to the children around him.
