Chapter 145: Meet the Hunter Again, Candied Haws
While talking to Erniu, Yu Mancang quickly processed the three pheasants in his hands.
Erniu skinned the four wild rabbits, washed away the blood, and sent them to Yu Banxia, and then went to help Yu Mancang.
After processing the pheasant, Yu Mancang hurriedly cleaned the residue on the wild rabbit skin, then washed it with water. After it was dried, he continued to prepare it. He would then make scarves for the women in the family. It would be even better if he could make a fur coat inlaid with rabbit fur for each person.
The rabbits at home grew very fast. In just two months, they were almost overpopulated. Yu Banxia then fenced off a place in the village for them to roam freely.
The rabbits were very well behaved and never dug holes or ran away.
There is now a lot of soft rabbit fur stored at home. He wants to look for a fox before the snow closes the mountain to see if he can catch one, because the fox's fur is the most beautiful.
"Miss, how do you want to prepare this rabbit meat?" Xingyu asked Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia said as she prepared the ingredients: "Just go and do something else, you'll know later."
Seeing Yu Banxia's mysterious look, Xingyu peeled a lollipop and put it in her mouth.
"Okay, girl, just tell me if you need anything." Xingyu nodded, picked up the other ingredients and started working.
After a while, the fragrance spread.
Ersha was jumping and playing nearby, and when he got tired he would run over to ask for some fruits to eat.
Xingyu teased it while cooking.
Her cheerful laughter filled the air all around, and Yu Banxia looked up from time to time to see the man and the beast having fun.
Yu Mancang and Erniu also came back carrying pheasants. Erniu saw that the water in the bucket was almost gone, so he hurried to fetch some water.
Yu Banxia quickly stopped him: "Brother Erniu, don't go to the stream to fetch water, go fetch water from the mountain spring over there."
"Okay." Erniu nodded and walked towards the mountain spring with the bucket.
Yu Banxia asked Xingyu to put two pheasants into the big pot to make soup, while she started to stir-fry Kung Pao Chicken.
The spicy smell quickly dissipated and I heard a few footsteps.
Yu Banxia looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw several figures walking out from the bushes nearby.
"The smell is here...why are you here?" The people who came were the five hunters from before, and the one who spoke was the son of the middle-aged man.
The five people and Yu Banxia looked at each other and were also stunned.
Yu Banxia took a look and continued to cook with her head down. The smile on Xingyu’s face instantly disappeared.
She took the lollipop out of her mouth, glared at the five people who had obviously caught their prey, and asked loudly, "Why are you here again?"
“Sorry… we just smelled something and were curious about who was cooking in the mountains, so we came to take a look.” The young man in blue touched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Xingyu curled her lips, thinking that he might be here to eat for free!
"Who are these people?" The five people were feeling awkward when they saw a number of people coming over with baskets on their backs.
Yu Meihua looked at the five hunters, walked to Yu Banxia, and asked while putting down her backpack.
"Have you picked up all the things that passed by?" Yu Banxia smiled at her and then asked.
"Well, these are all that's left. We didn't let our uncles come up here again. We can just carry them back ourselves after dinner."
Yu Meihua pointed at the half-filled basket of chestnuts and said.
Yu Banxia nodded and said to Aunt Mei and the others, "Aunt, go wash your hands first, and then you can eat. After dinner, we will go back and make new snacks."
"Okay, let's go wash our hands, and then come and help Xia Xia." Aunt Mei turned her eyes away from the five hunters, smiled at Yu Banxia, and took everyone to the stream to wash their hands.
"Miss, I'm sorry for offending you before. This is the prey we just hunted. It's still fresh. This is my apology to you. Let's go!" The middle-aged man put the prey on the ground and spoke to his four nephews and nephews behind him.
Yu Banxia did not respond and served the dish.
Xingyu snorted, and Yu Mancang asked Xingyu in confusion: "Xingyu, have you ever had a conflict with these five people?"
"Third Young Master, this is what happened..." Xingyu told him what had happened before.
Yu Mancang hurriedly looked at Yu Banxia's palm, but found that her palm was intact.
"It's okay. My supernatural companion grass is the vitality grass. My wound healed almost immediately after I was injured."
Yu Banxia smiled and comforted him, then turned around and served the sweet and sour pork ribs from another pot.
"Get ready, dinner will be served soon." Yu Banxia shouted loudly, and Aunt Mei and others hurried over to get bowls to serve the rice.
Although they were in the wild, they still had a very rich diet.
Kung Pao Chicken, Pheasant and Mushroom Soup, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs, Braised Fish, and three vegetarian dishes to take away.
"Xiang, I didn't expect this rabbit could do this."
"I didn't expect Xia Xia's cooking is so delicious. Those sisters who didn't come to the mountains with me will definitely regret it when they know about this."
"That's right. Our Xia Xia is really good at everything. She is good at medicine and can make all kinds of snacks and recipes."
"I can also make velvet flowers and even design furniture. Xia Xia, is there anything you can't do?"
Yu Banxia felt a little embarrassed by their praise: "There are a lot of things I don't know, maybe it's because I read too many different books."
She herself comes from a family of ancient doctors and has quite a large collection of artifacts at home. In addition, several of her best friends are also inheritors of a certain intangible cultural heritage and know a lot of things.
Being together for a long time, she naturally learned a lot from what she saw and heard. In addition, she lived in the city, so she could draw inferences from what she had learned, so naturally she knew a lot.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. Xia Xia will feel embarrassed later. Let's eat quickly." Aunt Mei spoke up to save her.
Yu Banxia looked at Aunt Mei gratefully, and Aunt Mei smiled at her.
After dinner, they put out all the fires, packed up everything, and Yu Banxia led his men back down the mountain.
After returning home, I went back to my room, entered the space, took a bath, changed clothes, and took Xingyu and Liuli to the dim sum workshop.
"Girl, what are we going to do with these things?" As soon as Yu Banxia appeared, the person in charge of the dim sum workshop, An Xiufang, came forward happily and asked.
Yu Banxia called out "Auntie" and followed her into the workshop. A small half of the hawthorns had already been cleaned and placed there waiting for her.
"Let's make some candied haws first, and then I'll teach you aunts how to make hawthorn cakes and hawthorn slices."
"Okay, we'll learn from you." An Xiufen and others gathered around.
Watching her busying herself, she first threaded the hawthorns onto bamboo sticks. An Xiufen brought people to help, and soon she had threaded a lot of hawthorns.
"Okay, that's enough. It's better to make this now." Yu Banxia hurriedly stopped him.
Then he instructed: "Then the remaining ones, aunts, deal with them like this and squeeze out the seeds."
He demonstrated it once and it wasn't that difficult.
Now the workshop has also hired some women from neighboring villages who have good character, good health and love cleanliness to work.
All you have to do is peel and remove the shells.
