Chapter 73: Eating Roasted Lamb When I'm Getting Angry
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "What's the problem?"
Cheng Feng smiled and said, "You can't arrive early when escorting prisoners."
Su Nuan was dumbfounded and asked blankly, "Why?"
Cheng Feng sighed, "What are exiled prisoners? First of all, they are criminals and must be punished. Secondly, they are sent to the local area and become criminals."
Su Nuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Then let's stop and rest when we are almost there, and then report back when the time comes."
Cheng Feng didn't say anything. What Su Nuan said made sense. It was better to deal with this kind of thing sooner rather than later. There would be no loss in waiting until the critical point.
Just when Su Nuan thought he wouldn't agree, Cheng Feng said, "It's decided. Let them chop more firewood before they leave the mountain."
"When we get to town in a few days, I'll buy some charcoal, a stove, a carriage... and anything else?"
Seeing him looking at her for advice, Su Nuan said, "Is my little tent okay? It's made of oilcloth with four corners. You can roll it up when you're not using it, and then take it out and put it up when you need it. It doesn't take up much space."
Cheng Feng nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Seeing Su Nuan trying to slip away, he grinned and said, "Roast a whole lamb."
Su Nuan stumbled, "I got it!"
Red Bull was pulling three carts, and on the last cart was a goat that had just been hunted today, ready to be roasted.
They set up camp at the same place at night, and Su Nuan was busy marinating the white-striped sheep, and finally roasted it on the campfire.
In fact, there are a lot of wild game in her space, but she doesn’t have time to clean them up. If she had more energy, she would have an avatar to work in the space.
Su Nuan was a little impatient waiting for the roasted lamb and said, "I'll go out for a walk."
As he said that, he called Xiaobai and ran towards the forest.
Cheng Feng scolded, "You little bitch! It's almost dark, and you're still running around."
Su Nuancai didn't listen. Before she finished speaking, she had already gone into the woods.
To be honest, Su Nuan was tired of eating meat and was planning to go out under the cover of the mountain to get some vegetables.
She didn't walk far. She found a place and poked a few holes in the ground with a wooden stick. Then she took out the cabbage that had sprouted in the space, peeled off the old leaves and threw them on the ground.
She carried the cabbage down the mountain, and when she returned to the carriage, Mrs. Xue and the old lady were looking around worriedly.
Her heart warmed and she smiled, "I'm back, look what I found."
Xue frowned and was about to say something, but the old lady pulled her arm.
The old lady laughed and said, "Oh my, isn't this cabbage? This vegetable is hardy and can grow in the mountains and forests. It's a little old because no one has taken care of it."
Xue's words were swallowed back by this pull. She forced a smile and said, "Isn't it? But it's edible."
How could Su Nuan not see their little actions? The most nagging old lady in her previous life has now become quiet and straightforward.
The mother-in-law who was taciturn in the previous life has become nagging, but this is a good thing, proving that they care about themselves.
She smiled and said, "Let's eat cabbage today. I'm tired of eating meat after so long."
Xue laughed and said, "You girl actually dislike meat. Tell me, how do you want to eat this cabbage?"
Su Nuan spread her hands and said, "I don't know either."
In the past, the cabbage we ate was the heart of the cabbage, which was blanched in good chicken soup and was sweet and delicious. I really don’t know how to eat this old cabbage.
The old lady said, "This is good for stewing. It doesn't taste good when served cold."
For exiled prisoners, it is good enough to have enough to eat, but now they have become picky about the taste. I really don’t know whether they are in exile or just going on an outing.
Su Nuan knew that stir-frying was not popular yet, so most of the food was stewed. She looked at Ling Yun and Tuan Tuan who were looking at her eagerly.
"What are you looking at me for? You want some candy? You can't eat too much candy."
Tuan Tuan rushed over and hugged Su Nuan's thighs, "Sister-in-law...is Guo Guo here?"
Su Nuan untied the backpack and reached in. There were a lot of dried fruits in the backpack.
The last time she dug out a squirrel's nest, she collected some high-quality dried wild fruits. Since dried wild fruits are difficult to store on rainy days, now is a good time to take them out.
"Here, little greedy cat, go eat with your brother."
"Great." Tuantuan cheered and went to find Lingyun with the backpack.
Ling Yun didn't doubt it. After all, it was normal to have wild fruits in the mountains.
Su Nuan went to check on the roasted whole lamb. These guys couldn't wait for it to be fully cooked, so they just cut it with a knife and ate it.
Li Shitou saw Su Nuan coming back and said with a smile: "Your portion is kept. We only ate this half."
Su Nuan nodded, "Give me the tender part of the ribs, about two pounds will do."
Li Shitou asked in confusion: "So little? Can it be eaten by Amen?"
Su Nuan didn't dare to say that she was tired of eating meat. She just smiled and said, "There's a lot of soup from cooking today. We can't let it go to waste."
Cheng Feng glanced sideways and said, "Cut five pounds and bring some vegetable soup later. I feel a little hot and want to eat something light."
Su Nuan, "..." You're having a sore throat and you're still eating roasted whole lamb?
But after thinking about it, she understood that Cheng Feng was subsidizing herself in various ways, but she really didn't need this subsidy.
She touched her nose, took the tender lamb chops cut by Li Shitou, and replied, "Got it, I'll send it over later."
She returned to the carriage and placed the mutton in a wooden basin. "Mom, Brother Cheng wants to eat vegetable soup."
Seeing her full of resentment, Xue asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Su Nuan laughed dryly. "I'm tired of eating meat, so I asked for less. But Brother Cheng misunderstood and thought I was being embarrassed, so he gave me more."
Xue smiled and said, "I mean well. By the way, do you still have the cabbage?"
Su Nuan asked back: "What's wrong? Are you too old?"
Xue shook her head. "This cabbage looks like it's sprouting, but it's still very tender. It's not bitter at all and tastes great."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it's edible, it's fine. It was too dark at night, and I didn't look carefully. I'll go check again tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Xue didn't stop him this time.
At dinner, Su Nuan brought Cheng Feng a large bowl of vegetable soup, and then he went back to eat and rest.
The next morning, she didn't eat and went straight up the mountain.
She found that the place where she threw the cabbage leaves was clean, with nothing but a pit in the earth. The leaves must have been eaten by animals.
She simply poked some holes in the ground to make it look like cabbage was being pulled out of the ground.
When she was carrying more than twenty cabbages down the mountain, the road ahead was blocked.
Su Nuan frowned as she looked at the deer in front of her, and something came to her mind. "Oh, yes, there is still a deer in the space that has not been eaten."
At that time, I was thinking of using deer blood and other things as medicine, so I didn't peel the skin casually.
She stared greedily at the stag in front of her, and the stag stared greedily at the cabbage in her basket.
Su Nuan had a sudden thought and came up with a bad idea.
She threw the cabbage leaves on the ground, and the buck's eyes lit up and he began to eat them.
She took the opportunity to whisper something in Xiaobai's ear, and Xiaobai nodded and quietly ran away.
