Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 18 Hunting in the Mountains

No matter what other people in the courtyard thought, the three members of the He family ate to their heart's content.

Yu Shui wiped her mouth and said, "Dad, your cooking is much better than my brother's. Can I eat it often in the future?"

He Daqing touched He Yushui's head lovingly and said, "As long as Yushui wants to eat, Dad will make it for you. I guarantee you'll have enough to eat. I'll make you plump and white."

He Yushui was quite moved by the first half, but got angry when she heard the second half: "I don't want to be fat anymore. There is a little fat girl in our class who is laughed at by everyone every day."

He Daqing laughed and said, "Think about it, what season is it now? If they can get fat, it means they eat well at home. Some of you can't even get enough food at home, and you still have the energy to laugh at others?"

"But our house will be beautiful after the rain."

After he said that, he did not forget to praise the rain.

After eating, Sha Zhu admired his father's cooking skills. He said, "Dad, when do you think I can reach your level? How much have you not taught me?"

He Daqing glared at him and said, "You are still far from it. You will need a lifetime to learn my craft. Don't just learn from others. You should refine what you have learned and turn it into your own characteristics."

"Although our Longguo has eight major cuisines on the surface, many other cuisines have been extended later. These are all made by people who have integrated and developed their own characteristics. You still have to learn slowly."

After listening to this, Sha Zhu nodded seriously. He agreed with his father's statement very much.

He Daqing was somewhat relieved to see Sha Zhu like this. Perhaps it was people who simply loved cooking who could master it to perfection. They had few other thoughts in their minds, and only devoted themselves to studying cooking.

At first some people would say they were stupid, but who would have known that it was this stupidity that kept them from being tempted by external things and allowed them to concentrate on studying cooking.

It is because of this that others see him as a fool, and He Daqing did not correct himself after returning. It is okay to be a fool, as long as you don't think you are stupid. Sometimes fools also have good fortune. It is rare to be confused in life!

After arranging for Sha Zhu to clean up, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Had a wonderful sleep.

Today, He Daqing didn't plan to go fishing. He wanted to go into the mountains to see if he could catch some big prey.

After breakfast, He Daqing rode his bike quickly towards the mountains.

Along the way, He Daqing almost pedaled his bicycle chain until it started smoking.

This is because his body has been transformed by a sixth-level crystal core. An ordinary person would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

Soon we arrived at the foot of the mountain, which was completely deserted with no human habitation around.

He Daqing put the bicycle into the space, took out the dog-leg knife, and started climbing.

After climbing up the first hill, the scenery inside was also desolate.

It is early winter now, and the leaves are dry, yellow and falling.

It must be that the weather is dry this year, otherwise the place would have been a scene of silver snakes dancing on the mountains and wax elephants galloping on the plains.

This is just the outskirts of the mountain, and He Daqing continues to move inside.

After climbing over one hill after another, it was almost noon. He didn't see any big prey. He just shot a few pheasants and rabbits along the way and threw them into the space.

He also felt a little tired at this moment.

Sitting on the top of the mountain, looking at the endless mountains, He Daqing was drinking water while thinking whether to continue forward or go back. If he went deeper, it would be too late to go home.

I looked at my watch and it was already half past eleven.

He decided to climb over two more hills, and if there was nothing, he would go back.

As soon as he ran to the mountain stream from here, he saw a few deer drinking water by a pool.

These might be red deer, look at their thick antlers and sturdy bodies.

There are seven or eight of them here, the leading one is estimated to be about 400 kilograms, and the rest are about 300 kilograms each. There are also two or three small ones, estimated to be around 100 kilograms.

There is no law to protect them now. It is bad luck to meet He Daqing.

Taking out three spears from the space, He Daqing approached them gently.

These creatures were extremely alert. Before He Daqing got too close, the leading one raised its head and looked around.

He bent down and waited for it to continue drinking water. He Daqing moved forward again.

He Daqing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was within ten meters. At this distance, he was very confident that he could capture them all.

He held a spear in his hand and threw it at the largest one. With a whoosh, the spear went straight through its neck.

Ignoring this one, He Daqing quickly pulled out a spear and threw it at the second largest one.

There was another "whoosh" sound, and the second one fell to the ground.

Then he threw a third spear. By this time, the other red deer had been awakened and were ready to run away in panic.

He Daqing directly activated his mental power and made a mental charge towards the few that were close to him.

Immediately, those ones fainted on the ground.

Now the others have already run away and there is no way to catch up with them.

It sounds slow, but in reality it was over in less than half a minute.

Now lying on the ground were the three largest wild deer pierced by spears, and three more that were stunned by mental power, one big one and two small ones.

The six wild deer must have weighed more than 1,500 kilograms in total, which was enough for him to eat for a while.

He quickly stepped forward and stabbed the neck of the fainted deer. Immediately, blood flowed out.

He Daqing found a few small basins and placed them underneath to catch the water. This is a good thing. Any man would understand.

Carefully remove a few of the antlers. They can be made into specimens, which look very imposing.

Soon they finished packing, and He Daqing didn't plan to move on. These were enough to last for a while, so he would think about it later. It was a pity that he didn't encounter any wild boars. He wanted to get a few wild boars back.

He Daqing started walking back, walking very fast.

Soon we climbed over two hills.

Suddenly, a grunting sound came from the back of the mountain.

Isn't it so easy to talk about?

He Daqing ran over there quickly again.

Wow! There are more than 20 wild boars here. They are using their long snouts to dig up the grass roots in the soil.

As the saying goes: one pig, two bears and three tigers.

These things are particularly dangerous when they gather in groups in the mountains.

There were two or three of them that weighed three or four hundred kilograms, and the rest, except for seven or eight small ones, also weighed more than a hundred kilograms.

Looking at so many wild boars, He Daqing also prepared carefully.

He took out three spears as usual, and also took out the dog-leg knife.

Then slowly approach.

Until it was nearly ten meters away.

He suddenly jumped up and threw out three spears in a row. Then, without even looking, he used his mental power to attack the nearest wild boar.

Five or six wild boars fell down immediately.

The three largest ones that were pierced by the spears did not die on the spot, but rushed towards He Daqing with the spears stuck in their bodies, as if they were determined to kill this enemy.

Looking at the wild boar charging forward, He Daqing made another mental thrust. Now it was quiet.

All the other wild boars around ran away, leaving only nine of them, big and small.

They pulled out their spears and began to bleed them one by one.

Today's harvest is so rich that it has taken up most of the space.

These nine wild boars weigh nearly two thousand kilograms in total.

Now he no longer has to worry about meat.

After quickly cleaning up the scene, He Daqing hurried back.

It's already past two in the afternoon. If we don't go home quickly, it will be dark.

In fact, hunting didn’t take long, it was mainly about getting on the road.

On the way back, He Daqing came across some pheasants and rabbits, which he collected.

With the help of mental power, anything within a ten-meter range basically cannot escape from his grasp.

We hurried out and reached the foot of the mountain at around four o'clock.

I took out my bicycle and hung two rabbits and a pheasant on the back. Then the chain of the bicycle started smoking again.

At this pace, it was already past five when we arrived at the courtyard and the factory was closed.

After entering the door, he met the door god Yan Bugui again. He Daqing was speechless. This old man guarded the door every day, and he wanted to taste the saltiness of the manure cart every time it passed by.

He Daqing was seen coming back exhausted, with a few pheasants and rabbits hanging behind him.

Yan Bugui quickly stepped forward and said, "Daqing, where did you get this game?"

"Old Yan, I caught this at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs. It took me a whole day."

"Oh, Daqing, you are amazing. You can fish and hunt at the same time. You are really capable."

He Daqing smiled and said, "Old Yan, didn't you say you were going fishing today? How was it?"

When this topic was brought up, Yan Bugui said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm not ready today. I went to sit for a while and then came back. I'll go tomorrow when I'm ready."

OK! Looks like the Air Force is back again today.

He Daqing smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first. I'm covered in dirt and I haven't even changed my clothes."

After saying this, he pushed the cart away without paying any attention to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui wanted to say something, but after looking at He Daqing's back, he shook his head and went home.

When I got home, I saw Yu Shui and Sha Zhu were listening to the radio.

He threw the hares and pheasants in the car to Sha Zhu and said, "Go and pick them up for dinner!"

When Sha Zhu saw his father coming back with more goodies, he happily agreed and went to pack them up.

He Daqing went into the house, changed his clothes, and touched Yu Shui's head.

Just clean up in the kitchen.

Today he is going to teach Sha Zhu a new dish, Dapanji!

Cut the side dishes and knead the dough.

After everything was ready, Sha Zhu also brought in the packed pheasants and rabbits.

He Daqing taught Sha Zhu while cooking.

This dish is very simple, and even a fool can make it at a glance. It's just that conditions are limited nowadays, and people rarely think of this step.

Place noodles on the bottom of a plate and cover with the cooked chicken.

When it was served on the table, He Yushui started drooling again.

I put a few pieces of chicken in Yushui's bowl and a few noodles in her bowl.

One bite and you can taste the aroma of chicken, the spiciness of chili peppers, and the freshness of noodles. It really wows everyone's taste buds.

The three of them were eating so much that their heads were steaming.

Sha Zhu really admired his father. This dish, which was not complicated, became very delicious immediately after his father made it.
