Seeing that the Qin family ignored him, the fourth son of the Shen family laughed for a while, then found it boring and stopped laughing.

There were not many people in the exile rest area at this time, and everyone else was looking for food around.

After a while, the third and fourth sons of the Qin family also came back, holding a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables, as well as a bag of wild fruits.

"Wow! Third and fourth brothers, you guys are so great. There are so many wild vegetables and mushrooms!"

It’s a pity that there is no pot, otherwise I could make a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

But it doesn’t matter. These mushrooms can be dried and eaten just the same when we get to the exile place.

But now there is another way to eat it - grilled!

Although she would definitely not know which mushrooms are edible if she were asked to go out and look, she still knew that everything can be tested.

Qin Zhongyue found two thin branches, peeled the skin and skewered two strings of mushrooms. "Third and fourth brothers, please help me grill them. My cooking skills are not as good as yours."

Qin Sanshou and Qin Sixi took two strings of mushrooms and roasted them over the fire.

Qin Zhongyue looked happily at the remaining mushrooms and wild fruits brought back by her two brothers.

He secretly transferred some of it into the space for storage. When Jiang saw this, she hurriedly covered it up for her daughter and no one noticed.

"If you can't finish all the mushrooms in one meal, you can dry them and eat them later."

Jiang said this deliberately to distract others.

"Well, mother is really good at managing the household!"

Qin Zhongyue's generous praise made Jiang feel a little embarrassed.

"Wow! These wild fruits look delicious!

Third and fourth brothers, you are really amazing, unlike me who went out and found nothing."

Qin Sanshou and Qin Sixi had originally only found wild vegetables and some mushrooms and fruits and felt very useless, but after being praised by Qin Zhongyue, they felt that what they had found was pretty good.

In fact it does.

Many mushrooms are edible, and the former dignitaries present often ate them, but if they were asked to find them on their own, they might not know what kind of mushrooms are edible.

"When I was picking mushrooms, I saw there were still quite a few left, so I'll pick them all up soon."

Qin Sanshou understood what his mother meant and thought she was right. This thing could be dried and eaten later.

"Mom will go with you later."

"I'll go as well."

How could Qin Zhongyue miss the good opportunity to continue collecting insects and accumulating points, especially since there is plenty of time today and it is still daylight.

Some people with sharp ears heard the Qin family’s conversation and decided to go with them to pick some mushrooms.

No one knows what the exile place is like, so it is better to prepare more things.

After about half an hour, all the people who were out were called back by the officers, and most of them found some food.

Those who are lucky enough can climb up a tree and dig out a bird's nest and find a few bird eggs, which can be used to satisfy their hunger.

There were several families who were previously scholars who were ignorant of the world and lazy. The men read every day, and the women went shopping for clothes and jewelry and held tea parties every day. Now they are not so lucky.

Like Qin Zhongyue, he didn’t even know what wild vegetables looked like.

They went out just to get some fresh air, and those who came back empty-handed could only wait for the officers to give them free steamed bread.

"There seem to be four mud balls in this fire?"

"Yeah, your sister did it."

Qin Sanshou and Qin Sixi intuitively felt that this mud was not real mud.

Qin Renshan and Jiang Shi also had no idea what it was.

"Third and fourth brothers, don't ask anymore. You will know in a moment."

Qin Zhongyue didn't want to say it now, for fear that someone shameless would hear it and find fault with her.

So the family started to nibble on wild fruits, roast mushrooms, and chat about all sorts of things. Half an hour later, Qin Dafu felt that the pheasants in the four mud balls must have been roasted.

He had experience in this matter. When they were escorting goods in the past, they didn't have time to stay in an inn, so they often hunted and ate in the wild.

"We can dig out the clods of earth."

The four brothers dug out a lump of earth each. Qin Zhongyue had already taken a thicker stick and was ready and a little excited.

This was the first time in her two lives that she ate such a rough and simple version of beggar's chicken, so of course she had to break the ugly shell herself.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

"Okay, be careful and don't get burned."

Qin Dafu soaked the large non-toxic leaves that he had prepared early in the morning one by one. After his sister cracked the mud shells off, they could start eating.

As soon as Qin Zhongyue hit the chicken with the stick, the mud shell cracked and the fragrance from inside wafted out. Although the chicken had not been processed in any way and Qin Zhongyue only secretly spread some salt on it, this authentic and most original way of cooking beggar's chicken was well-deserved.

The fact that it has become a famous dish is enough to prove that this method is delicious.

Qin Renshan, Jiang, Qin Sanshou and Qin Sixi all widened their eyes when they saw the secret hidden inside the clod of earth!

Qin Dafu quickly grabbed the chicken from the leaves, broke off two large chicken legs, and gave each to his father and mother.

Qin Renshan and Jiang's first reaction was to give the food to their daughter first, as their precious daughter had become thinner due to hunger in the past two days.

Qin Zhongyue knew what his parents were going to do, so he said before they could say anything: "You eat first, there are still three left."

Qin Zhongyue had already knocked open another lump of earth. Qin Erlu, like his elder brother, caught the pheasant with a rich aroma, broke off two chicken legs, and placed them in front of his sister.

Qin Zhongyue knocked open the remaining two clods of earth. This time, Qin Zhongyue was quick to break off the four chicken legs, giving one to each of his four brothers.

"Don't just stand there and eat quickly, otherwise there will be trouble."

After Qin Zhongyue said this, everyone fell silent and started eating with big mouthfuls. A chicken leg was not that big and it was gone in just a few bites.

Then the family shared the chicken wings. Qin Zhongyue ate two chicken legs and stopped eating.

"You guys eat, I want to lose weight and become beautiful. Two chicken legs at night are already a lot, and I also want to eat wild fruits and grilled mushrooms.

Eat quickly, someone has already discovered it, hurry up."

Qin Zhongyue continued to help them divide the chicken breast. The remaining chicken necks, chicken feet, and chicken backs had little meat, but the bones were delicious when chewed. She divided them evenly among her family members.

She really wanted to lose weight. Regardless of whether her fat body looked good or not, she was afraid that she would have three highs at such a young age, so she had to manage her body strictly.

"Dear girl, eat more. There are still so many."

Jiang and Qin Renshan both put their muscles in front of the king's daughter.

"Mom and Dad, don't you want me to get better?

You don't want me to be pretty, so you like people to call me an ugly fat pig?"

Qin Zhongyue had no choice. She knew that her parents really loved her. If she didn't say so, they would definitely insist on letting her eat more.

"No, no, mother wants you to be the most beautiful more than anyone else!

Besides, my daughter is not ugly at all. I will be angry with anyone who dares to say that about my daughter!"

Jiang explained immediately.

"Yes, my daughter is just a little fat, but she is still the most beautiful."

Qin Renshan really thinks that his daughter is just a little bit fat and there is no need for her to lose weight. What if she starves?

"Then it's done, you guys should eat it quickly. It can't be kept if it's still hot, and it will become fishy and not tasty if it gets cold.

Look, they’re all watching.”

At Qin Zhongyue's insistence, the family ate up all the pheasants that Qin Zhongyue gave them.

People who smelled the rich aroma of meat followed the scent and saw that it was the Qin family. Everyone's mouths were greasy as they ate.

Everyone who saw it had their eyes sparkling with envy.

It turns out that the clod of earth they had was filled with chicken. This family really knows how to eat!

What’s even more infuriating is, why can they shoot pheasants as soon as they go out?

And though they went out so many times, only a few of them managed to catch a pheasant.
