After Li Mushu and the others had lunch, they went to Xiaojianxi to wash their faces and play with their hands for a while before Uncle Da and the others came back.The fighting power of strong and experienced adults is indeed much stronger than that of their half-sized young people. Look at the full prey on their shoulders. Apart from the common pheasants and hares, there are also some that Li Mushu has never seen before. What about small animals?However, because they were all shot by archers, there were relatively few sets, and the prey were all bloody, so Li Mushu didn't want to go closer to have a look.

In addition to the prey, the villagers also dug up a lot of earth-cured medicinal herbs. There are very few doctors in the countryside. When they are sick, they dig some herbs to fry and drink.The earth prescriptions that have been handed down from generation to generation are also effective, so every household knows some commonly used herbs, and often digs them from the mountains and keeps them at home just in case.

Li Mushu looked at those wild game, and thought that if he brought flint and seasonings, it would be great to roast them here and eat them!Thinking about it, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Just now, he shared his own sandwiches with the children for lunch, and he ate a steamed bun and half a corn tortilla. It was cold, dry, rough and had no meat.At this time, when he saw meat, even though it was raw, Li Mushu's mind had already automatically turned it into a cooked delicacy.

By the time Uncle Da and the others had rested, it was getting late.Everyone wrapped up the fruits of their labor and prepared to go down the mountain.It was only the first day that they harvested a lot, and everyone's shoulders and backs were full.

Because Li Mushu absolutely wanted those olives, he carried a basket of olives and chestnuts himself.Li Ping and Huang An, in addition to their own baskets full of peaches, dates and unknown wild fruits, each had to pick two extra bags, one bag of olives and one bag of chestnuts.Doctor Wang only carried herbs and peaches, very relaxed.Xiaohui's bamboo basket was also small, so he carried his favorite dates.This fresh jujube is crispy, refreshing and sweet when you bite into it. Xiaohui seldom eats this in the south, so he fell in love with it as soon as he ate it.He ate non-stop, and was pouting when Li Mushu stopped him.

It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down the mountain. We have a lot of things, so we walk more slowly.Without the ease and excitement of going up the mountain, everyone just cared about the road along the way, and also cared about the things they carried on their backs, so there was no time to chat and laugh.

They stopped and went like this, and when they got to the foot of the mountain, the sun had already started to set.The sunset glow shrouds Huaishuwan, where the scattered and antique tile-clay houses, the haystacks piled up in the fields after the autumn harvest, and the sprouting radishes, cabbage, potatoes, cabbage, etc. There is a gurgling river winding around this small mountain village, which looks as beautiful as a paradise.

Li Mushu was only focused on looking at the beautiful scenery, but Uncle Da and the others stopped to distribute the prey and wild fruits at the foot of the mountain so that everyone could take them home.

"Xiao Mu, would you like a poem?" Doctor Wang bumped into Li Mushu's shoulder and smirked.

Li Mushu glanced at Doctor Wang and ignored him.

"Grandpa Wang, you call it 'Which pot doesn't open, uncover the pot'." Xiaohui stepped forward to save Daddy.

"Then Xiaohui has a song?"

"Okay. But Grandpa Wang, if you ask me to talk to you, will this be bullying the weak?"

"..." This kid is really not cute!

Li Mushu was so beautiful, he bent down and gave Xiaohui a big kiss on the face with a smile, his son is so cute!

The prey and wild fruit were divided, all the olives were left to Li Mushu, and the other fruits and prey Da Shu were divided equally according to the head.

Li Mushu picked out the unknown little animals that were allocated and returned them to Uncle Da: "Uncle Da, I don't want these anymore, so you should share them. If you catch a live little rabbit, give two of them to Xiaohui and me to play with." .It’s better to have one male and one female, we keep the baby rabbits.”

"These meats are delicious, why don't you want them?" Uncle Da took the small animals and asked Li Mushu in puzzlement, and then said, "Da Fu and the others went to check the trap, and I'll ask them to send some of them." The rabbit is going to your house."

"Thank you, Uncle Da." Li Mushu handed over those pheasants and hares to Huang An.

"Really don't want it?" Hong Da raised the little prey in his hand and asked Li Mushu again.

"I really don't want it." Li Mushu shook his head, then waved to everyone and the group returned home with a full load.

From a distance, they saw Xiaorong waiting for them to come back at the door of the house, Li Mushu and the others couldn't help laughing.Xiao Rong actually wanted to go up the mountain with Li Mushu and the others, but he was still young. At that time, Li Mushu thought that if Xu Daming was required to take care of the two children at the same time, he might lose sight of the other, and they didn't know much about the situation on the mountain. ?I don't know if it's dangerous or not?In the end, Li Mushu decided that Xiaorong would stay at home first, and then decide whether to take him along after they went up the mountain to understand the situation.

"Young Master, Doctor Li." As soon as Xiao Rong saw Li Mushu and the others, he immediately ran towards them, and stopped to say hello when he was almost in front of them.

"Xiao Rong, are you okay at home? Are you leaving in such a hurry?" Li Mushu looked at Xiao Rong who was running away with a blushing face and asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Xiaorong was a little embarrassed, he stepped forward to remove Xiaohui's bamboo basket and carried it on his back.

"Is the general back?" Li Mushu asked again.

"Not yet." Xiaorong walked home slowly with everyone, carrying a bamboo basket on his back.

"My lord, is the mountain fun?" Xiao Rong was silent for a while, and couldn't help asking Xiao Hui.

"It's fun. Daddy told me to bring some rice, noodles, and go camping tomorrow." Xiaohui said excitedly, and then told Xiaorong the interesting stories on the mountain. The two talked louder and louder, tender and tender. The sound made the adults who followed them feel happy when they heard it.

As soon as he got home, Li Mushu couldn't wait to ask Huang Erniang to cook rice for them. Although he was not hungry, he was full of fruit, but it wasn't real. He wanted to eat rice as well as meat.

After they came out of the shower for several months, Huang Erniang had already served the rich meals on the table.There are river clam and winter melon soup, a plate of pig's trotters, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of steamed whole fish with chopped peppers, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, fried vegetables with mashed garlic, and a plate of squashed cucumbers.There is a full table.

Doctor Wang, Li Mushu, Xiaohui, Xu Daming, Li Ping, and Huang An all swallowed their saliva when they saw it. Their food box, Huang Erniang, made a lot and was very rich, but they all shared it among others. Hungry, but Xu Daming and the others came back hungry.

"Start it, let it go." Li Mushu and Doctor Wang picked up their chopsticks to pick up vegetables as soon as they sat down, and when the others saw that they were going to start it, they were not polite, and they all buried their heads in eating.

Li Mushu didn't think of Xie Yueyun until he finished eating a bowl of rice. He turned his head and asked Huang Erniang: "Yueyun hasn't come back yet, is there any fish at home?"

"There is another one in the bucket." Huang Erniang smiled: "And you have brought so many pheasants back, I will go and clean up now, and I will make soup according to the method you taught me later."

"Okay, go get busy." Li Mushu turned his head and looked at Doctor Wang who was chopping up the rice and said, "Master, don't eat so much. Did you hear that Huang Erniang wants to stew chicken soup. If you are too full, you won't be able to drink it." , that pheasant soup can make up for it."

"It will take two hours until the soup is ready." Doctor Wang glanced at Li Mushu, "I'm not you, I only have a small stomach."

"..." Forget it, Li Mushu lowered his head to eat.

After Li Mushu and the others finished their meal, Huang Erniang had already cleaned up the prey. According to Li Mushu's intention, some pheasants were used for stewing soup, and the rest were used for cooking.As for wild rabbits, they are delicious braised in soy sauce or in dry pot. After being boiled, marinated with spicy powder, the wine tastes good. It is also delicious as a snack.The extra Li Mushu asked Huang Erniang to pickle it with salt and hang it in the kitchen to dry as cured meat.

From time to time, spices and seasonings are added to the old pot of Li Mushu's house, and the taste is getting stronger and stronger. It's almost like dropping a piece of tofu to taste the meat.

There were a lot of green olives, and the children were greedy for the pickled olives and pickled olives that Li Mushu mentioned. Later, they picked a lot and carried them down the mountain by themselves.The freshly picked green olives are sour and astringent. If you eat them, your facial features will wrinkle into a ball... But after pickling, they will be sweet and refreshing, leaving a fragrant fragrance on your teeth and cheeks.

Li Mushu looked at a large pile of green olives poured out. Although he was quite tired after going down the mountain, he couldn't just leave these fruits alone, could he?It's all fresh.

Doctor Wang only cared about his own herbs, Li Mushu asked Li Ping to wrap the peaches one by one in straw paper and stack them in the storage room, so that they would keep fresher for a longer time.I took Huang An, Xiaohui and Xiaorong to clean the olives. First, I removed the stems of the olives and washed them one by one... After three washes with clean water, I picked up and drained.

Then asked Huang An to pour the washed olives into the pot, add cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat.Before the water boiled, Li Mushu had to turn the olives to let the fruits evenly heat up.After the water boils, turn the fire to medium, and it depends on Huang Erniang to control the heat.After a while, a layer of black foam will rise from the pot and rise to the surface. It is the bitterness and oil of the olives. Li Mushu has to scoop up these and throw them away.Then, when the olives start to crack and slowly float to the top, they are ready to be scooped up.

Huang An was relatively strong. He picked up the boiled olives with a skimmer (shake the ladle to drain the water), and put them into the pickling jar that had been cleaned long ago. Li Mushu sprinkled a layer of sugar on the olives.Then Huang An scooped up another spoonful of olives, and Li Mushu sprinkled another layer of sugar.That's how the olives are scooped up and the sugar sprinkled, layer upon layer until the jar is full, but the top layer must be covered with sugar.

Li Mushu looked at the jar full of olives with satisfaction, and sealed it with a smile. Huang An moved the jar of pickled olives to the grain storage room.Then it's time for the magician... When the top layer of sugar is completely dissolved, the whole jar of candied olives is brought to a boil over high heat.Let the cooked compote stand overnight to cool completely before dividing into small jars.It will be ready to eat in about a week.The sweet and sour taste is very appetizing, and it has the effects of clearing the lungs, relieving the throat, promoting body fluid, and detoxifying.

Li Mushu used part of the remaining olives to make olive dishes.The method is also quite simple. After washing and scalding, marinate it with salt to taste. When the sun comes out tomorrow, put it in the sun and spread it out to dry. Then add salt and marinate for one night. The next day, use a knife to cut around the middle of the olive. With one turn and a firm twist, the olive flesh falls off the core.The olive meat that has been removed looks like a miniature three-cornered hat, so it is named Olive Cape.Fill salt into olive horns, and after a period of pickling, it becomes olive horn pickles.

The other part of the olives was used by Li Mushu to make snacks for the children in the village.The olives should also be washed and boiled, but the olives should not burst, then submerged in cold water, soaked in salted water for one night to remove the bitterness, and then soaked in sugar water for one night.Pick it up from the sugar water and drain the water, then soak it in the sugar water boiled with sugar and licorice, and it will be done the next day.The salty ones are easier to make. Use salt to marinate the olives until they wrinkle their skins, then add licorice and sugar to marinate for a period of time, then steam them and dry them, and you can take them with you.

It was dark after Olive finished, and Li Mushu and the others were sweating profusely again.As for the jujubes, Li Mushu didn't think much about how to make them, so he just ate them fresh.Anyway, there are a lot of people on the mountain, and today is their first day going up the mountain.

Xie Yueyun hasn't come back so late, it's okay that Li Mushu has been busy just now, but now that he is free, he waits more and more anxiously.It took a lot of time to go hunting in the deep mountains, right?It would definitely take a lot of time to ambush and hunt again.Is it possible to go back and forth in a day?The more Li Mushu thought about it, the more he felt that he had misunderstood?But Xie Yueyun didn't bring much, and it didn't look like he was going to spend the night in the mountains.

"Da Ming, Yue Yun and the others are coming back tonight?" Li Mushu couldn't help asking Xu Daming.

"Yes. They will be back tonight. They just went in to see the situation today, to clear the way, boob traps or something." Xu Daming explained to Li Mushu, everyone could see that Li Mushu was fidgeting: "Don't worry, Doctor Li. , the general is very skilled, and he is followed by his most capable subordinates before, so there will be no problem."

"Well, that's good." Li Mushu nodded, he was finally settled after hearing Xu Daming say that.

After settling down like this, Li Mushu felt tired and sleepy.Xiaohui leaned against Li Mushu and his eyelids dropped, he was already too sleepy, but he insisted on waiting before his father came home, otherwise he would have wanted to go to bed and sleep a long time ago.

"Xiaohui, go to bed when you're sleepy, I don't know when your father will come back?" Li Mushu coaxed Xiaohui's face softly.

"No, I want to wait for Daddy." Xiaohui's eyelids went up again, but they fell down again within a second.

"Okay, wait for Daddy." Li Mushu smiled, and hugged Xiaohui into his arms. He was so sleepy, he thought Xiaohui would fall asleep in less than a minute.Just bring him into the room then.

Sure enough, Xiaohui soon fell asleep.Li Mushu just remembered to carry him into the room, but just as soon as he moved, he heard a commotion outside.
