"Okay!" The six daughters-in-law responded in unison.
This feeling of being self-reliant made them more excited than waiting for their seventh brother to feed them.
Zhang Wenyuan, leaning on a wooden stick with both hands, walked to the stream panting tiredly.
He simply lay down by the stream and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water before he felt a little better.
Zhang Wenyuan turned his head to look at the women of the Shen family who were tirelessly searching for firewood and wild vegetables, and the corners of his mouth trembled violently.
Oh my god!
Are these women in the Shen family really women?
He has been practicing martial arts for many years, but his physical strength is not as good as this group of women. How embarrassing it is for him.
Ji Yongjia, breathless, collapsed beside Zhang Wenyuan, scooped up some stream water and drank it all.
This made him thirsty. He had eaten so many wild grasses and vegetables along the way, but they didn't quench his thirst at all.
"Brother Zhang!"
After taking a few sips of water, Ji Yongjia shouted at Zhang Wenyuan.
"Huh!?" Zhang Wenyuan turned and looked at Ji Yongjia in confusion.
"Let's go hunting together."
Ji Yongjia pursed his lips and took a few sips of water, feeling even hungrier.
The thought of watching Chen Yong roast so many pheasants and rabbits made him even more restless.
Although his legs were too tired to lift, he still wanted to eat something.
“........” Zhang Wenyuan was stunned for a moment.
He swallowed and kneaded his aching calves.
After riding a horse for several days in a row, his thighs were rubbed so hard that they hurt a lot.
Now he has to climb mountains continuously, which has damaged his calves again.
This guy Shen Yong tortured them in various ways.
"Okay, let me rest for a cup of tea."
"Okay." Ji Yongjia rubbed his calves together with Zhang Wenyuan.
If you don't rub your calves, they will cramp when you rest at night.
While rubbing their legs, the two men watched eagerly as the women of the Shen family were picking firewood and looking for wild vegetables in the bushes beside the stream, laughing and giggling.
Sometimes she found mushrooms, sometimes she found wild vegetables, and her excited little voice sounded like she was on a spring outing.
Ji Yongjia glanced at the palace guards who were moving over little by little and sighed softly. Women's physical strength was indeed a mystery.
Looking at his brothers who were always full of energy and vigor, they were now even worse than a woman.
They were walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, holding wooden sticks in their hands to support their bodies. Their bodies were shaking like sieves, which was simply unbearable to watch.
The escort officer, who was originally the most active, has probably fallen to the end of the team.
Thinking that when those officials came here with great effort, Shen Yong was about to set off again, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Before Ji Yongjia and Zhang Wenyuan set out to find something to eat, Shen Yong had already come back excitedly.
"Mom, I had a snack at noon and took out a few nests of bird eggs."
Zhang Wenyuan turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
At a glance, I saw Shen Yong holding a bunch of pheasants and rabbits tied with vines in his hand, with bird eggs in his robe, and walking happily towards Old Madam Shen.
The corners of Zhang Wenyuan's mouth twitched twice.
How come he doesn’t know that pheasants and rabbits in the deep mountains are so easy to catch?
"Let's go find something to eat."
Zhang Wenyuan patted his sore calf and stood up tremblingly.
It will be too late if you don’t go now.
Chen Yong found so many things so quickly, they should go there quickly too, they will definitely be able to find a bargain.
Otherwise, when everyone goes out to find food, the noise will surely scare away all the pheasants and rabbits.
"good!"
Ji Yongjia responded and stood up shakily.
Chen Yong squatted by the stream, killing pheasants and rabbits. He watched Ji Yongjia and Zhang Wenyuan go into the woods, and smiled slightly.
There weren't so many pheasants and rabbits. He only caught three pheasants, and the rest were all taken out from the space.
"Seventh Brother, how do you want to eat the bird eggs?"
Madam Shen looked at the pile of bird eggs on the ground and looked at Shen Yong with a smile.
She hadn't eaten bird eggs for many years. Before she got married, she had eaten roasted bird eggs once on her own farm.
She can still remember the smell, it was really fragrant.
Shen Yong turned his head to look at the fire lit by his sisters-in-law.
"Dig a hole next to the fire, put all the bird eggs in it, and roast them."
Don't throw bird eggs directly into the fire, as they may explode easily.
"Okay, Mom will go dig it right away." Old Madam Shen nodded happily.
She had only eaten roasted bird eggs before, and had no idea how they were cooked.
Fortunately, Lao Qi knew how to roast bird eggs.
Old Madam Shen found a sharp stone, squatted beside the fire and started digging a hole.
Seeing this, Lu Man also took the sword in her hand and stood beside Old Lady Shen to help dig.
The sword was too long and it was difficult to dig. After digging twice, Lu Man threw away the sword and dug with a stone, imitating the way Old Lady Shen did.
"Mom, there is a dagger in my bag. You can use the dagger to dig."
Chen Yong saw that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having a hard time digging, so he quickly reminded them,
"There's salt in the bag. Mom, put a layer of salt on top of the eggs. That way they'll smell good when roasted."
On the way, he had already thought about what to eat for lunch and put a large bag of salt in his bag.
"......Okay!" Old Madam Shen paused digging the hole, hesitated, and finally responded.
A layer of bird eggs and a layer of salt, this is really a waste of salt.
But since Lao Qi wants to eat it this way, then she can just do as she says.
With Lao Qi's extraordinary abilities, getting some salt shouldn't be a problem.
"I'll get it!" Cheng Suihua looked at Madam Shen and Lu Man's hands covered in mud, and quickly rushed to Shen Yong's bag.
When the bundle was opened, there were four sharp daggers and packets of seasonings inside.
Cheng Suihua took two daggers and handed them to Mrs. Shen and Lu Man respectively.
Then she opened all the seasonings and looked at them.
The seasonings are quite complete, including five-spice powder, cumin powder, pepper powder, chili powder...
She had all kinds of seasonings, both those she had seen and those she had not seen before, in Chen Yong's bag.
There are two large bags of salt.
Cheng Suihua picked up a bag and weighed it. A bag of salt probably weighed two kilograms.
"Mom, put the eggs away and I'll put the salt in."
Cheng Suihua opened a bag of salt, squatted next to Old Madam Shen, and watched them dig the hole.
"There's also a dagger, let me dig some too." Meng Yunfei was too impatient to sort out the vegetables and put them next to her second sister-in-law and the others.
She clapped her hands and walked towards Shen Yong's bag, took a dagger, squatted beside the fire and started digging a hole.
"There are so many bird eggs. Let's dig a few more holes so they can cook faster..."
"That makes sense. Then dig a little shallower, put a layer of salt, then a layer of bird eggs, then another layer of salt, and finally cover it with soil."
Lu Man pointed at the hole she had dug and said, "Sister-in-law, come and spread the salt..."
Now that I have more strength, I can dig holes much faster.
She is now very glad that she learned martial arts in the past, but she regrets that she did not study it seriously.
If she had studied hard, she would be able to go hunting with her seventh brother now.
To be honest, she had never hunted in the mountains before and was quite curious.
