Although there were no fruits on the tree, many sparrows had landed there.
He was bored, so he took a slingshot and shot sparrows.
He had good skills and shot down several of them in a short time.
The frightened sparrows all flew away, and the sky was getting darker and darker, making it difficult to see clearly.
He squatted down and counted them. In just a short while, he caught 14 sparrows.
The harvest was good and I was quite satisfied.
At this moment, Su Miaomiao was reciting poems with the children in the house.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"I'm coming in."
Xiao Yunfei's voice came in.
Then the door opened.
Xiao Yunfei walked in holding a bunch of furry things and said as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Wife, look at what this is."
Su Miaomiao stood up slightly, looked over, and was immediately surprised.
"Is this a sparrow? Where did it come from?"
"I was just shooting with a slingshot in the yard. Just as I was getting the hang of it, the bird ran away. I only managed to catch a dozen or so in total, but it's still good enough for the kids to try."
Xiao Yunfei said he felt a little regretful when the bird ran away.
Unexpectedly, Su Miaomiao widened her eyes, and Xiao Yunfei asked in confusion.
"What's wrong with you? Are you afraid of birds?"
Xiao Yunfei subconsciously held it a little further away and said.
"It's okay, these are all dead, don't be afraid."
Su Miaomiao was indeed a little scared, but not because she was afraid of birds, but because this thing will be a "three-protected" animal in the future, and it is not allowed to be hunted at will. In serious cases, people may be sentenced.
For Su Miaomiao, a good citizen who abides by the law, she subconsciously feels that she should not do anything illegal.
But she soon convinced herself.
This was in ancient times, and there was no animal that was not allowed to be hunted.
The royal family also had special hunting grounds where they could hunt anything, including tigers, leopards, jackals, wild boars, and elk.
As a great general defending the country, Xiao Yunfei must have participated in many royal hunting activities. These insignificant little sparrows were probably nothing in Xiao Yunfei's eyes.
After figuring it out, Su Miaomiao felt much more relaxed.
Although she had never eaten it, she had heard from the older generation that sparrows could be cooked directly in the stove or fried in a pan.
It is said to taste very good.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became energetic and spoke with bright eyes.
"Husband, bring them here so I can count how many there are."
Seeing Su Miaomiao's mood change, Xiao Yunfei became even more puzzled.
Weren't you scared just now?
Overcame the fear so quickly.
He hesitated for a moment, and seeing Su Miaomiao's anxious look, and making sure that Su Miaomiao was really not afraid anymore, he held the bird in his hand and handed it over.
Su Miaomiao pointed at the bird's head with her finger and checked it carefully.
"One, two, three..."
The children who had already learned to count joined in and counted with her.
"Nine, ten, eleven..."
When everything was checked, the children cheered and applauded.
"Wow, there are fourteen in total, that's a lot."
"That's great, that's great."
"Dad, Mom, how are we going to eat this bird?"
Facing the children's questions, Xiao Yunfei said as a matter of course.
"Ask your mother, listen to your mother, and eat it the way your mother tells you to."
Everyone, big and small, looked at Su Miaomiao together.
Su Miaomiao curled her lips into a smile, blinked her big, lively eyes and said.
"Is there still an open fire in the hearth?"
"There's still a little bit left, but it will be gone soon."
"It's a good idea to wait until there's no open flame. Let's throw five in and let the children taste the roasted birds."
"Okay, so what are you going to do with the remaining nine?"
“Fried.”
Su Miaomiao answered very straightforwardly.
Frying is easy for her. She often fries things and is more confident about it.
That's why she chose to fry most of the sparrows.
There is uncertainty in burning it directly in the stove. If it gets burnt or burnt, it would be a waste.
As the chef of the family, Su Miaomiao naturally has no objections to her decisions.
After the discussion, everyone took action.
"I'm going to check out the fire. Who wants to come with me? Raise your hand!"
Xiao Yunfei's eyes swept over the children, and the children immediately rushed to speak.
"Me, me, me."
"I want to go."
"Brother, take me with you."
Xiao Yunfei is always much gentler than usual when coaxing children.
He said with a slight curl of his lips.
"Okay, put on your shoes quickly, Daddy will take you with him."
Xiao Yunfei took the children to the outer room, lay on the ground and looked into the stove, and found that there was still a trace of fire.
"We have to wait a little longer. Daddy will wash the pot first. You guys just watch over here."
"good!"
The children agreed in unison.
Su Miaomiao looked at the smiles on the children's faces and couldn't help but curl her eyes.
Xiao Yunfei asked at this time.
"Wife, which pot do you want to fry in?"
There are three kangs and three stoves in the room, and there is a pot on each stove.
Maybe Mr. Kong knew that he would have to cook after Su Miaomiao came, so a good pot was of paramount importance.
So Mr. Kong prepared three pots for her, of different sizes but equally good.
Su Miaomiao pointed at the youngest one.
"That's it. You clean the pot first. I'll get the oil and seasoning from the car."
"Okay, go ahead. Remember to call me if anything happens."
The car is in the yard, less than ten steps away from the door. What could have happened?
