Chapter 491: Take it slow from now on
Shao Sanlang couldn't help but say, "We have a great harvest today, Fifth Brother's wife, how about we have a barbecue in the backyard tonight?"
During the Chinese New Year, our family cooked different kinds of food every day and we had barbecue twice. Everyone still remembers them.
Now that the yard is spacious, barbecue is even more convenient.
After Shao Sanlang said this, everyone nodded and agreed that it was a good idea.
The charm of barbecue is so great that few people can resist it. Now that their appetite has been aroused, it is even more impossible to refuse.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Then let's go back soon, otherwise it will be too late to prepare the marinated meat!"
“Okay, okay!”
"Okay, I'll go back right away!"
Everyone was in high spirits. Yan watched with a smile, feeling very envious. She felt afraid that her family would never be able to be as close and lively as the first wife's family.
Qiao Xuan looked at her and smiled, "Fourth cousin's wife will come too tonight!"
Yan really wanted to go, but after a little hesitation, she shook her head and smiled, "Next time. If it's still a little cold today, I won't go out at night."
The main reason is that it is not convenient for her to go to the main room alone at night.
It would be fine for others, but Silang couldn't hide it.
Since the first wife didn't invite Silang, it was difficult for her to bring it up.
She didn't blame the first wife, who told the second wife to be too pretentious before? Qiao Xuan, Tao Tao and the others were willing to accept her so quickly, she was already very satisfied.
Just take it slow in the future.
Qiao Xuan and the others had obviously thought of this, and they said with a smile that they would make an appointment next time, and didn't say anything more.
On the way back, everyone dug some fresh yams, some fresh winter bamboo shoots, and went back with the game they hunted.
Qiao Xuan took a look at the endless green hills and rolling mountain ranges, feeling very regretful.
It's a pity that it's not the right time to eat all kinds of wild vegetables. Think about the spring, when there are ferns, spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, dandelion seedlings, shepherd's purse, Chinese toon, wild onions, wild leeks, water celery, and everything else. That's so fresh.
After returning home, Fang smiled and said, "I came back early today. Wow, I got a lot!"
Shao Sanlang chuckled: "I want to have barbecue tonight, come back early to prepare it!"
Fang laughed and scolded: "No wonder, it turns out you are greedy, this must be you who started it!"
Everybody laughed.
Seven out of ten ideas related to food were initiated by Shao Sanlang.
Fang picked three winter bamboo shoots, a pheasant and a wild rabbit for Yan to take back.
Yan didn't want it at first, but Fang said with a smile, "I'm not going to let you follow them into the mountains empty-handed. We hunted a lot today, take some back!"
Only then did Yan smile, thank him and take it away.
As soon as Yan left, they started to get busy boiling water to remove the hair, picking vegetables from the garden, preparing charcoal, wire mesh, stove, etc.
Mrs. Xu was not pregnant yet, and she looked pretty good. The baby in her belly was especially fond of her and didn't cause any trouble at all, except for some morning sickness during the first few days after the pregnancy was diagnosed. After that, she was like normal, could eat anything, and didn't feel nauseous when smelling anything.
When Qiao Xuan, Xiao Qi and the others started preparing for the barbecue, Xu couldn't help but feel hungry when she thought about the smell, so she helped to prepare as well.
Today we hunted thirteen pheasants, eight hares, and five grouse, wild pigeons, and other large wild birds.
After giving two to Yan, there were still many left, which she certainly couldn't finish, so Fang pickled them with salt and hung them up again a few days later to make preserved meat.
Only by making it into cured meat can it be preserved for a longer time.
