Walking all the way between the mountains, all of them are deep mountains and dense forests, or bamboo and wood are mixed, ravines and springs and waterfalls can be seen from time to time, and from time to time you can see pheasants fluttering and hares screaming and fleeing, as for all kinds of birds and finches, they are innumerable, chirping endlessly in the dense forest overhead.

There are very few mountains that have been cleared for crops, and even fewer paddy fields – it seems that there are only some paddy fields near the villages, and none in the mountains.

There are many mountains and valleys where the trees are not so lush and tall, and it is not difficult to cultivate them for growing miscellaneous grains.

However, as soon as Qiao Xiaoru said Wu Duo, he shook his head and said, "Xiaoru, you don't know, there are too many birds and finches in this mountain forest, and the seeds sown are not enough for them to eat!" Not to mention here, when we sow seeds near our village, people have to watch the birds and birds all day long! Oh, and the harvest is no different! Nothing else, those guys are going to eat a lot of corn or something! ”

Qiao Xiaoru suddenly smiled and said, "This is also true!" ”

I saw a lot of medicinal materials along the way, but they were all ordinary ones, and they were not worth a few dollars, so they could not be considered.

Just as I was about to talk about it, I still had to find an idea from among the vast mountains.

At noon, everyone had lunch by lighting a fire next to a clear mountain stream.

The raw sweet potatoes and taro in the basket were buried under the fire and roasted, and the two young men went to walk around the nearby woods, and half-sounded their empty hands.

Although there are many wild animals in the mountains, there are not so many that one person can catch a few at any time and anywhere, and hunting is also time-conscious.

Not everyone in the Wuyi people is so accurate in archery and has so much experience in hunting, so almost half of the days in a year are not able to catch any prey, and the days are naturally hard.

Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun smiled and said a few words, Silly Fujun took her into the forest, and the stones in her hands flew with a snap, and soon more than thirty sparrows, chickadees, turtle doves, partridges and other unknown birds came out.

Seeing this, Wu Duo was a little embarrassed and smiled: "It's all because I didn't think about it carefully, I should have brought two pheasants out when I came out!" ”

She is the eldest lady in the tribe, and the prey that everyone hunts back is naturally offered to the patriarch and the eldest lady first, and the rest is divided according to the situation of each family.

I don't know if others are hungry or not, the Uduo family will definitely not be hungry.

Qiao Xiaoru smiled: "Don't be so troublesome, isn't it!" ”

"This kind of ...... Where is there a trace of meat, it is too stuffy to eat! Udo was obviously more upset, as did the others.

Qiao Xiaoru was surprised, "Don't you eat these little birds?" ”

Someone laughed and said, "This thing can't fill your stomach, why eat it?" It's a hassle to deal with! ”

Qiao Xiaoru clapped her hands and smiled: "Oh, then you really missed the delicious food!" ”

So she asked everyone to help, picked the leaves of the big trees—the best was bamboo leaves, cut and cleaned the internal organs of the birds and finches, leaving the feathers alone, and it was best not to wet them, and found some wild green onions and ginger, and she and Silly Fujun dug up a lot of sticky soil and adjusted it with water.

Finally, a few salt particles and one or two shallots and ginger were sprinkled in the belly of the bird, and two or three layers of large leaves were tightly wrapped, and then the outside was wrapped in mud and placed in the fire.

Seeing this, Li Shufang clapped his hands and laughed, and laughed repeatedly: "Okay! I've only heard of this way and I've never tried it, but I'm going to feast on it today! ”

So I also helped.

Wu Duo is waiting for you to look at me, I will look at you, one of them scratched his head and muttered: "You Han people are really strange, how can you come up with such a strange method!" ”

Wu Duo glanced at him and hurriedly said, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and help!" ”

Everyone agreed, and helped Qiao Xiao as before.

There were eight people on the mountain today, and the thirty or so birds were quickly dealt with and turned into mud balls rolling in the fire.

When washing their hands by the river, they saw that there were countless fish and shrimp eating the internal organs of those birds and birds, and among them, there were big fish that were almost the size of a palm and as long as chopsticks.

Wu Duo and the others all showed disgusted expressions and took a few steps back, and Wu Duo smiled: "I forgot that you Han people like to eat fish, it smells so bad, we never eat it!" It's far worse than the taste of grasshoppers and bee pupae! ”

Thinking about the appearance of grasshoppers and bee chrysalis, Li Tent shook and said with a smile: "The customs are different, the customs are different!" ”

Qiao Xiaoru blinked her eyes and smiled with interest: "I have eaten bee chrysalis, they are fried in the oil pot for white and fat, and they are crispy and delicious!" I really haven't tasted grasshoppers yet, so when will I try a meal! ”

Wu Duo was very happy to hear this, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's not simple?" Tomorrow I will send someone to the mountains to table grasshoppers and dig bee pupae! ”

Li Jiaofang couldn't help but look at Qiao Xiaoru, with a strange look in his eyes: Qiao Niangzi is really - meat and vegetarian are not taboo!

A fish with a blue-gray back, a large palm, long chopsticks, and a slightly pointed head swam over. "Quick, quick, catch it, catch it!" I recognize this fish, it's called Baijia, I've eaten it once before, and it's the most delicious! ”

Li Tent wants to catch the fish, but where can he get it? Qiao Xiaoru tugged at the stupid husband's sleeve and said with a smile: "Ah Zhan, quickly knock it down!" ”

The bamboo stick in the fool's hand seemed to be an understatement and poked it on the head of the fish, and the white armor stood up, flipped over, fainted and slowly surfaced.

The foolish man used a bamboo stick to get it over.

Li Zhifang happily fished it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Not bad, yes, it's Baijia!" Mrs. Qiao, Brother Lu, we have a good day today! ”

sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, it's good to take two back!" He was thinking about his daughter!

Wu Duo came up and looked at the fish, the back was pale green, the abdomen was as white as snow, the body was scaleless, the head was slightly triangular, and the fish body was very well-proportioned, so he smiled and said: "What is the original name of this fish, the fish here have no name, and we can't see any difference, they all look the same!" There are a lot of this kind of fish in the mountain, Li Lao, you love to eat, and when you go back, catch a few more! ”

Li thanked her, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'll die on the way back to take it back, and it's not fresh if I die!" Well, tomorrow I will find two people to be companions, and I will carry the bucket myself and catch it again. ”

Wu Duo smiled, "The old man doesn't have to be so troublesome, I have a way, I'm sure to bring it back and be alive, hehe!" ”

Li was a little curious, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good!" I'm showing you a hand tonight for you to taste! Alas, my favorite fish I make! ”

"Oh, don't!" Wu Duo shook his head and waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Well, you can eat it yourself, we don't need it, we really don't need it!" ”
