As long as it's not a large prey, no one usually cares.

Over the years, it has almost become a rule.

If you don't say anything about him, he won't say anything about you!

Ruan Mengmeng was picking grass for pigs, and Ruan Zilong followed behind. If he recognized some, he would pull it out and put it in the bamboo basket.

On the way, Ruan Mengmeng picked a lot of half-dried black fungus.

It may be because it hasn’t rained for a while, so the moisture in the fungus has evaporated.

However, it does not affect consumption.

Anyway, if you pick them and eat them, they need to be dried.

When eating, just soak it in warm water.

This is pure natural and wild.

Ruan Mengmeng collected these things and put them together.

The appeal of original green food is really great!

Later, a few people found a lot of edible wild mushrooms.

The children were quite hardy, and when they filled a bamboo basket with pig grass, they were all a little hungry.

There is no habit of eating breakfast in the countryside.

In addition, food was extremely precious, and every household basically only had two meals a day.

The hungry crowd began to search for food.

At this time, the wild fruits on the mountain are basically edible.

After picking a lot of unknown wild fruits, Xiaojiu took a group of children to climb up the tree and dug out some bird eggs.

Ruan Mengmeng's aim was quite good. She used small stones to shoot down a few birds with a few bangs.

This shocked the group of children and Xia Xiaojing who was standing beside them.

"Wow, Sister Ruan, you are so awesome!"

Xiaojiu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

He had never seen such a powerful person since he was a child.

Just pick up a few stones and you can knock the birds down from the tree. It’s so amazing!

As he spoke, he also imitated Ruan Mengmeng, picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at the tree next to him.

The direction was correct, but perhaps because the force was too weak, the stone flew more than one meter away and then fell down.

Forget about hitting a bird, you didn't even hit anything.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The children nearby burst into laughter.

"Don't laugh!"

Xiaojiu yelled at them angrily.

Then, he lowered his head a little disappointedly, looked at his own hands, and then looked at Ruan Mengmeng's hands. His heart was filled with loss.

Why is it that Sister Ruan can do it, but I can’t, even though they have the same pair of hands?

Ruan Mengmeng really wanted to say, if I didn’t have special powers, I wouldn’t be able to do it!

However, she couldn't say it out loud, so she could only comfort him;

"Don't be disappointed, Xiaojiu. I've practiced for many years to become so skilled. If you want, we can try another method!"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Xiaojiu felt that this wish might not come true at the moment, but when he heard the second half, his eyes lit up.

"What's the solution, Sister Ruan?"

A group of children nearby also came over quickly, surrounded Ruan Mengmeng, and asked happily.

"Yes, Sister Ruan, please tell us quickly, what is the solution?"

Ruan Mengmeng thought for a moment and said something mysteriously.

"How about I teach you how to make a slingshot!"

"Okay, okay!"

Surrounded by a group of children, Ruan Mengmeng began to lead a group of people to make slingshots.

The forked tree trunk is easy to find, but the wide elastic rubber band is not so difficult to find!

Ruan Mengmeng was in a dilemma for a moment.

"Sister Ruan, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Xiaojiu moved closer to her and asked.

"Does anyone know where I can find wide elastic rubber bands?"

Ruan Mengmeng directly told the materials needed to make the slingshot.

"Wide rubber band?"

Xiaojiu didn't know what a wide rubber band was, and he muttered to himself.

“Is beef tendon okay?”

Thinking of something, Xiaojiu asked uncertainly.

"We have some dried beef tendons at home, and they look pretty elastic!"

Xiaojiu tried hard to recall.

A sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he thought of the several pieces of beef tendons drying under the eaves of his house.

That was brought back by his grandfather a few years ago when he helped the village slaughter a cow.

During the busy farming season that year, an old ox in the village fell down a slope and became paralyzed.

Otherwise, the villagers would not be willing to kill the good old ox.

"Why not? As long as the elasticity is good, it's fine!"

Ruan Mengmeng nodded, her eyes lighting up.

Beef tendon should be stronger than rubber band, so it should be possible.

"Then you wait here for me. I'll go home and get it right away. It'll be quick!"

They left as soon as they said they would. Xiaojiu was also anxious, so he stood up and ran towards home.

“Hey hey…”

Ruan Mengmeng called out a few times, but Xiao Jiutou didn't even turn back. Maybe he ran too fast and didn't hear the sound behind him.

She actually wanted to ask whether their families would disagree, but before she could ask, the child ran away.

Just forget it and wait until he comes back and talk about it!

Without rubber bands to make slingshots, the group of people could only put aside what they had in their hands.

They began to organize the ingredients they had just found.

Ruan Mengmeng, led by other children, came to the river.

The birds that were shot down were plucked and their internal organs cleaned.

Then, wash it clean with river water.

Ruan Mengmeng found some wild onions and wild ginger, smashed them with a stone to extract the juice, and smeared it on the surface.

The seasoning is available now, but there is no salt.

"I have salt here!"

As if seeing through her thoughts, Xia Xiaojing took out a small cloth bag from her pocket.

Ruan Mengmeng took it and opened it, and sure enough, there were some yellowish salt lumps inside.

In that era, there was no fine salt like today, but large salt blocks that were slightly yellow.

When eating, just put it in and the salt block will melt when it comes into contact with water.

Those who are more particular will grind the salt block.

Ruan Mengmeng picked up the stone, ground the salt into powder, and slowly applied it.

After the paint was evenly applied, everyone started picking up some dry firewood and started a fire in an open space under the shade of a tree.

Ruan Mengmeng strung the painted birds together with clean branches and taught them to put them over the fire and roast them slowly.

Then use branches to string the washed mushrooms next to it into skewers and grill them together later.

There is no need to add any seasoning to the bird eggs.

Throw it directly into the burning charcoal, and after about ten minutes, it will be almost cooked.

Bird eggs, original flavor, the best!

When Xiaojiu came back, the bird was already emitting a scent of meat.

The greedy kids nearby kept swallowing their saliva.

In the past, they could only eat bird eggs, mushrooms and the like. Where could they find meat?

Today, thanks to Ruan Mengmeng's blessing, they can actually eat meat.
