Chapter 364 Declining the Offer
This is what the old hunter told him. If anyone asks him who he learned it from, he should say this and only this, and not say anything else.
"I see! What a pity!"
When Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong heard that he learned this from an old hunter in the village, they stopped thinking about it. Perhaps they had seen it wrong.
After all, neither of them is a particularly professional person, and Shao Xiaoqi has learned it so well that it is inevitable that they will subconsciously have illusions.
However, based on this skill, it is correct that Shao Xiaoqi can have a good future by joining the army.
Shao Yunduan just smiled and said, "Xiao Qi is still young, his parents will definitely be reluctant to let him go. Our family is doing OK, but they can't bear to let him suffer in the army."
Le Zhengxiao smiled: "That's true!"
Xie Jingrong nodded and said, "If you change your mind one day, you can tell me."
Although the Xie family has no direct connections in the military, it is still easy for them to say hello to Shao Xiaoqi.
This was Xie Jingrong's good intention. Shao Yunduan bowed and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you very much, brother!"
“You’re welcome!”
With a fruitful harvest, everyone prepared to go home.
On the way, I came across a small patch of wild lilies, so I stopped and dug up some.
Lily bulbs are steamed first and then dried in the sun. After drying, they are stored and stewed in soup, porridge, and sweet soup. They are all good things. They can also be ground into powder to make cakes.
Fresh lilies are delicious whether stir-fried alone or with meat.
The snow-white pieces look like petals, and are beautiful too.
When we get home, of course we have to sort out the huge harvest.
The whole family is used to being busy, chatting and laughing, and everything is in order.
There was a lot of prey, including twelve pheasants and six hares. Xiao Qi didn't even eat any other small birds.
Muntjacs are particularly plump in autumn, and this one is no exception. Its fur is shiny and its meat is firm and tender, weighing about thirty pounds.
After hunting so much, the second and third wives came over. It would be a shame not to give them to me. Besides, they would go bad if they couldn't finish them. If I sold them, who in the village would be willing to buy them for festivals? Even if I sold them at a lower price, no one would want them.
Fang decided to turn a blind eye to the incident and each family shared two pheasants and a wild rabbit.
Each family also got five or six pounds of deer meat.
Niu didn't expect that the two young masters would come again today. She regretted it so much. She couldn't help but complain to Shao Sanlang, Xiaoqi and others: "You went into the mountains to hunt today, why didn't you call your second brother, fourth brother, and Meiling? Wouldn't it be better to have more people and more strength? These two young masters have never walked on the mountain road, it would be more convenient to have someone to look after them!"
At least she had some shame and didn't directly ask Shao Meiling to take care of her.
She said this to please Xie Jingrong and Le Zhengxiao, and her eyes drifted towards them while she spoke, but they pretended not to hear her and ignored her at all.
Fang added: "We are just going to walk in the mountains, why do we need so many people? Too many people will cause trouble!"
"Oh, that's not what I meant. The two young masters are different from us country folk. You can tell at a glance that they are of high status. How could they bear such suffering? Of course, more people will take better care of them!"
Niu's eyes were still drifting towards Le Zhengxiao and the others.
Unfortunately, Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong still ignored her.
Fang was so annoyed and embarrassed that she pushed her out without saying anything: "It's getting late, second brother and sister-in-law, hurry home and cook! The pheasant and deer meat are so fresh, you have to cook them carefully so as not to waste them."
