"Fangfang, how are you going to roast this rabbit?"
Zhuang Mingcheng stroked his chin, looking at the rabbit in the iron bucket.
"Just roast it over a fire."
Zhuang Mingcheng: "..."
Lu Fangfang found a damp spruce wood, took out the dagger from her waist, sharpened it, and then walked up to Zhuang Mingcheng and handed it to him.
Won't it burn out?
Zhuang Mingcheng, holding a wooden stick, asked a silly question.
"Um……"
Lu Fangfang was a little unsure, because she had seen this method used in TV dramas.
"It should...it should be alright, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Mingcheng took a wooden stick, skewered the rabbit, and then roasted it over the fire.
Lu Fangfang took out a square cloth and spread it on the grass.
She took out the tomatoes and cucumbers from the bucket and placed them on top. Seeing that there were still a few potatoes in the bucket, she took them out and threw them to Zhuang Mingcheng, telling him to put them by the fire to roast.
"Crackling and popping..."
The spruce wood in the bonfire was burning very brightly.
Soon, Zhuang Mingcheng noticed that the part of the wooden stick used to skewer the rabbits, where there was no rabbit meat in the way, seemed to be smoking.
Before Zhuang Mingcheng could think further, the wooden stick burst into flames.
Zhuang Mingcheng quickly picked it up with both hands and turned to look at his wife.
Lu Fangfang: "..."
She picked up the ladle, scooped up some water, and poured it onto the burning wood.
"Sizzle~"
The fire was quickly extinguished.
"what to do?"
Lu Fangfang was both amused and exasperated. She said helplessly, "What else can we do? Let's keep baking."
Next, Zhuang Mingcheng gripped the wooden stick and turned it over and over to roast the meat.
Lu Fangfang held a ladle of water, ready to splash it onto the wooden stick at any moment.
Um……
The two of them looked a little silly.
They looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Although they were a bit silly, the rabbit they roasted together still smelled delicious.
On the western grassland, Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox smelled the fragrance and ran back.
Even the usually aloof Xiaohua couldn't help but drool as she watched the rabbit meat dripping oil onto the charcoal.
"Awoo~"
"Meow~"
"Don't shout, it'll be over in a minute, you two will get your share."
After a while, seeing that the rabbit was almost cooked, Zhuang Mingcheng picked up the wooden stick and placed it on the iron bucket.
He tore off the front of the rabbit leg, scooped up a ladle of water, rinsed off the marinade, and then tossed it to the little Tibetan fox and Little Flower.
He tore off two hind legs and handed them to his wife.
Lu Fangfang rolled her eyes at him and stuffed one of the rabbit legs into his mouth.
"Ugh, it's hot, it's hot..."
Four legs, just enough for one person.
Some parts of the rabbit's leg were burnt. Lu Fangfang peeled off the blackened parts, took a small bite, and her eyes lit up.
Roasted rabbit meat is just more fragrant than boiled rabbit meat.
"It's delicious and fragrant, Mingcheng, you should try it."
Lu Fangfang sat in front of the campfire, chewing on a rabbit bone with all her might, not wanting to waste it at all.
This greatly disappointed the little Tibetan fox. Seeing that there were no bones to eat, it turned its head and looked at Zhuang Mingcheng again.
"Yes, it tastes really good."
Zhuang Mingcheng bit down hard, swallowing the bone whole.
"Awoo~"
"Awoo~"
"You little glutton."
Lu Fangfang patted its head and tore off a piece of rabbit meat for it.
Seeing that Xiaohua had finished eating, she tore off the rabbit head and threw it to the little guy.
This rabbit was caught by Xiaohua; it should eat a lot.
After a while, the two, the fox, and the leopard were still somewhat unsatisfied, but unfortunately, they had finished all the rabbit meat.
Zhuang Mingcheng got up, took out potatoes from the fire, and gave a few to his wife.
The two sat on a straw mat and began to eat potatoes.
The roasted potatoes tasted quite good, and the two of them enjoyed them very much.
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox were disappointed. They weren't interested in the roasted potatoes, so they just lay quietly beside them.
Seeing this, Lu Fangfang took two tomatoes, bit off a piece, and gave them to the two of them.
The two little ones love to lick and eat this sweet and sour stuff.
"Mingcheng, I have birch sap in my kettle, you can take it and drink it."
...
The sun had just set, and it was getting a little dark. Lu Fangfang lit a lantern, and with the bonfire in front of her, the surroundings were quite bright.
After finishing her meal, Lu Fangfang picked up the lantern and went to take a look at the incubation room.
The coal briquettes in the stove were burning red-hot, creating a perfect temperature for incubating the eggs.
She closed the door tightly and went back to the campfire.
It was completely dark by then, and the temperature had dropped. She put on a jacket, but still felt a bit cold.
As soon as she sat down, an arm reached out and pulled her into its embrace.
Lu Fangfang hunched over and felt less cold.
"Fangfang, look, that thing that looks like a spoon is the Big Dipper."
Lu Fangfang looked up and saw that the sky was full of shining stars, and the sky was exceptionally bright.
She paused for a moment, then looked in the direction her husband was pointing.
"The handle of the spoon is Yao Guang, followed by Kai Yang, Yu Heng... and finally Tian Shu."
Following Zhuang Mingcheng's directions, Lu Fangfang easily found the corresponding star.
The sky was so clear in this era that she was almost mesmerized by it.
Night on the Grassland
"Look, that's Vega, and that's Arcturus..."
Lu Fangfang nestled in his arms, listening quietly.
Some of the stars Zhuang Mingcheng mentioned were ones she knew, while others were ones she was hearing about for the first time, which she found quite fascinating.
"Meow~"
Little Flower looked up, but wasn't interested, so she lay down again.
Lu Fangfang smiled and patted its head.
Looking up at the stars made their necks a little tired, so the two of them lay down on the straw mat, which made it even more convenient to look at the stars.
A gentle breeze was blowing across the grassland, and it was still a bit chilly. Lu Fangfang snuggled closer to her husband.
"Mingcheng, is that the Milky Way?"
In the sky, there was a bright band of light, with a lot of stars in it. She stared at it, slightly stunned. She had forgotten when she last saw the Milky Way.
In my past life, light pollution was so severe that it was difficult to even see stars, let alone the Milky Way.
"Yes, it's the Milky Way."
Zhuang Mingcheng gave a casual reply, somewhat absentmindedly.
He got up, picked up the lantern, and with a slight twist, the lit lamp went out instantly, leaving only the campfire beside it, and the surroundings immediately darkened.
"Mingcheng, what are you doing? You can't see anything around you."
"It's alright, just save some kerosene. Don't worry, I'm here."
...
