Chapter 44: The Feeling of a Foolish Husband
"Taste?" Qiao Xiaoru was stunned, the difference between this person and his nose is so big! She didn't smell anything!
Qiao Xiaoru smiled slyly, pushed him and asked with a smile, "Then do you smell it now and see if there is any smell?" ”
The foolish husband blinked and shook his head, full of confusion: What is the daughter-in-law doing......
Qiao Xiaoru made persistent efforts to tease him, and said with a smile: "Yesterday we caught such a big pheasant, do you see if there are pheasants, hares, marmots and the like in the grass, shrubs, and forests in this bush?" If there were, it would be nice if we caught it again! ”
Hares are not found in all mountains, but pheasants and marmots are almost universally available.
But marmots like to hide in holes and are good at hiding their tracks, so it is not easy to catch them.
And what about pheasants? Generally in the early morning and dusk, it is more active, more frequent, likes to fly and call, and other times it hides in the grass and shrubs to find food, and its whereabouts are also very hidden.
You must know that no matter how fat a pheasant is, it is only four or five catties, and the mountains are densely wooded, shrubs and grasses grow densely, and it is not so easy to find a pheasant hiding in it.
Yesterday, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun were completely out of luck, and the pheasant was frightened by the fallen bamboo before revealing his whereabouts.
Silly Fujun's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and searched around, his eyes suddenly fixed on the grass in the northeast direction. Seeing this, Qiao Xiaoru hurriedly stepped forward and pressed excitedly, and whispered, "What's there?" ”
The foolish man shook his head and said in the same low voice: "I don't know what it is, there is something there!" ”
Qiao Xiaoru touched her nose, regretting that she didn't bring a firewood knife when she went out today.
"Can you take it?"
"Hmm!" The foolish gentleman smiled at Qiao Xiaoruhan, and said without thinking about it: "If the daughter-in-law wants it, take it!" ”
Qiao Xiaoru was happy and said with a smile: "Then you hurry up!" My father-in-law is really good! ”
The foolish man scratched his head and laughed, picked up three or four loose balls from the ground, and raised his hand to hit them in the direction of the grass.
Qiao Xiaoru's eyes flickered, and the muffled sound of the loose ball hitting the target and the screams of the target came at the same time, Qiao Xiaoru was startled, it was not a pheasant, it seemed to be something else.
The foolish man ran over early, carrying a small brown and gray animal with weak legs, and said happily: "Daughter-in-law, look! It's a marmot! ”
"It really is! It's so fat! Qiao Xiaoru thought that the foolish husband had probably hunted this thing before, and it was not surprising that he subconsciously called out his name, touched the marmot's oily and slippery fur, and said with a smile: "We have a good mouth tonight!" It would be nice if there were a few more marmot skins, and it would be nice to ask the cobbler to deal with them, and it would be warm to be able to make a vest for the mother or small bean sprouts! ”
The stupid husband said: "My daughter-in-law likes it, I'll look for it again!" There are a lot of marmots in the mountains! ”
Marmots are cunning and good at hiding their whereabouts, and it is not easy for ordinary people to catch them, and even if an experienced hunter encounters them, at least five or six times out of ten they fail.
But at the level of Fool Jun, as long as he makes a move, he will never fail.
Qiao Xiaoru clapped her hands and laughed when she heard him say this: "Yes, that's great!" Let's just walk like this, and if we run into you, we'll take it down, okay? ”
"Hmm!" Silly Fujun nodded, and Silly Fujun suddenly understood what Qiao Xiaoru meant, and said, "Daughter-in-law wants to eat game, doesn't she?" As long as I meet, I'll fight it all! ”
It's so good! Who said he was stupid?
"Yes, yes!" Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile: "What flies in the sky and runs on the ground, as long as you find it, you will shoot it down!" But pay attention to safety, don't provoke those who are too big and too fierce, such as those wild boar herds just now, you know? Well, what if it hurts your daughter-in-law? ”
Qiao Xiaoru found the best reason.
Sure enough, when the foolish husband heard this, he immediately said: "I won't hurt my daughter-in-law, I will protect my daughter-in-law!" ”
"But my daughter-in-law is scared when she sees such a beast!"
"I don't mess with them, I take my daughter-in-law to avoid them when I see them! Daughter-in-law is not afraid! "Silly Husband-kun is very good again.
"Well, that's right!" Qiao Xiaoru is complete again.
The foolish man remembered the words "flying in the sky and running on the ground", and it was not polite to start again, because it was inconvenient for the two of them to walk around in the mountains, and the two big pockets of pine mushrooms were hidden in the bushes somewhere, and the burden was gone, and it was easy for the foolish husband to do it again.
It is difficult to find other prey in the mountains and forests, but there are many kinds of small birds and birds, even if you stand still in one place, there will be birds and finches shuttling through the woods next to you from time to time.
The small pebbles and pine balls in the hands of the foolish man flew out from time to time, and chickadees, partridges, sparrows, turtledoves and other birds fell from the branches.
Qiao Xiaoru cheered and screamed from time to time, and she was very happy to pick it up.
Such a small bird is not taken seriously by hunters who specialize in hunting in the mountains, but this is also meat! Pure game! Although there is not much meat, the taste is absolutely good!
Until he picked up more than thirty birds, Qiao Xiaoru hurriedly stopped.
It's time to fill your stomach first.
The two took out two sacks of pine mushrooms, and put the birds and marmots in the basket and went down the mountain.
In the dense forests, it is not difficult to find a water source, and almost every valley has a small stream formed by the water of mountain springs, but some are wider, while others are very narrow and can be crossed by lifting your foot.
By the stream, Qiao Xiaoru helped remove the hair, and the foolish husband cut it off, and the foolish man broke a sharp branch, and easily cut and washed the birds.
Qiao Xiaoru picked a few relatively fat birds and finches to deal with, among which there was a wild pigeon, which looked okay after plucking, not all skeletons.
Today, Qiao Xiaoru had a heart, and when she came out, she wrapped a little finely ground salt in a handkerchief.
A fire is lit and the birds are grilled on the fire, and the skin gradually turns golden, and the oil drops fall on the fire, and the fragrance spreads.
Eat it hot, it tastes delicious. Qiao Xiaoru was full of praise.
When the two of them were full, they disposed of all the remaining birds and finches, otherwise it would be very troublesome to take them back and dispose of the internal organs and hairs.
I saw several wild plantains growing next to the ravine not far away, and I just picked the leaves to wrap the birds.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Xiao Dou Sprouts shouting, "Brother, sister-in-law!" "Run.
Little bean sprouts are waiting for them! smiled and said, "What good things did my brother and sister-in-law bring back?" ”
Yesterday, so many fungus made the little bean sprouts happy, and he couldn't help but wait here.
Seeing the fat marmot, the little bean sprouts were surprised and delighted: "Wow, my brother and sister-in-law are so amazing!" There's something good to eat tonight! Alas, it's a pity that I can't hide it from them tonight! ”
