The culprit Yuanbao was sticking out his tongue to ask for credit and reward.
Jiang Che raised his hand and grabbed Yuanbao's ear, pulling his face crooked.
"You kid, you really know how to get me into trouble!"
Yuanbao tilted his face and looked at Jiang Che, looking confused.
"What are you doing, little master? Why are you pulling my ears?"
When Tang Tian saw this, she immediately ran over, pulled Jiang Che's hand away, and protected Yuanbao behind her.
"Don't bully Yuanbao."
Yuanbao hid behind Tang Tian, and stuck his head out to look at Jiang Che, still looking confused.
Tang Tian came out to stop him, and Jiang Che withdrew his hand in disappointment. He didn't intend to do anything to Yuanbao, he just wanted to teach this guy a lesson and not grab everything.
He picked up the basket on the ground, pointed at the pheasant inside and said to Yuanbao.
"Yuanbao, next time you see a chicken like this, don't catch it. Do you hear me?"
"Pheasants are a second-class protected species in China. If they die, it's illegal."
Tang Tian was a little confused. Pheasants are also protected animals, so why didn’t she know that?
Speaking of which, there is a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms in my restaurant in the provincial capital, which seems to use pheasant. Why has my father never told me that pheasants are protected animals?
"No way, Jiang Che, I've even eaten pheasant dishes in the provincial capital. How can it be a protected animal?"
Tang Tian asked in confusion.
"Girl, Xiao Che is right. Pheasants are indeed a second-class protected species. The pheasants you eat are all artificially bred and cannot be compared with wild ones."
"Okay, don't worry about it. Let Xiao Che handle it."
At this time, Old Tang stood up and pulled Tang Tian into the yard.
As soon as Tang Tian left, Yuanbao was left without anyone to protect him. He looked at Jiang Che in confusion. What did he mean? It was just a flying chicken. If you weren't allowed to catch chickens in the village, why weren't you allowed to catch chickens in the wild? Would there be no chicken legs for dinner?
Seeing that Yuanbao didn't respond, Jiang Che asked again: "Did you hear that, Yuanbao?"
Seeing Jiang Che looking at him, Yuanbao nodded quickly and blew a breath through his listless nostrils, thinking that all his efforts were in vain.
"That's good to know. Come on in. You've worked hard delivering meals today. We'll have delicious bamboo rat meat tonight. I'll reward you later."
Jiang Che said as he touched Yuanbao's head.
Bamboo rat?! Yuanbao immediately perked up, and the matter of the pheasant was immediately forgotten.
Yuanbao had eaten the big rats in the bamboo forest, but he didn't eat them often. The meat of the big rats was so fat and juicy!
Yuanbao's mouth was watering just thinking about it. He sniffed and smelled the scent of bamboo rat. He immediately ran to the backyard to look for it.
Tang Tian ran to her mother to ask for hot water to heat up the milk in the jar for the little civet cat to drink. Hu Lili also went to help.
There were only four old men left sitting at the square table chatting. Mr. Tang and the other two were more interested in the past stories of Huaxi Village, so they pulled the old village chief aside and asked him to tell them a story.
Jiang Che had no interest in joining in the conversation between the old people. He didn't know what he was doing, but suddenly thought of something and walked into the kitchen. Seeing his mother busy making a fire, he asked.
"Mom, I gave you a bag of oxtail grass to make herbal tea yesterday. Did you make it?"
Chen Xiuzhi stood up, grabbed her apron, wiped her hands, and said with a smile.
"Of course I cooked it. I haven't seen such good beef grass in a long time. I cooked it this morning."
"When you took the watermelon at noon, didn't you see the two baskets hanging in the well? They were filled with watermelons."
Jiang Che was very interested, but he still didn't know what the herbal tea made from the mutated cowgrass would taste like.
"Auntie, what is Goosegrass Herbal Tea?"
After Jiang Che left, Tang Tian asked doubtfully.
After arriving in Huaxi Village, she discovered that there were many things she didn't know, and she had never even heard of them.
"Oh, it's a kind of weed in the rice fields. But we country people like to make tea with it in the summer. It clears away heat and toxins and prevents heatstroke. The effect is very good. You can try it later."
Chen Xiuzhi explained to Tang Tian with a smile.
"So that's how it is. I must try it. I've never had it before."
Tang Tian is also very interested in things she has never eaten before.
Hu Lili smiled but said nothing. She had tasted the herbal tea of Coix glutinosa before and it was not tasty at all. It was slightly bitter and astringent. She wanted to see if Tangtang would puke out.
Jiang Che went to the backyard, pushed away Yuanbao who was approaching him, went to the well, grabbed the rope and pulled it up.
Soon a bamboo basket was pulled up. In addition to the wild boar meat, there was also a large stainless steel teapot. Jiang Che opened the lid and smelled it. It had a fresh scent of grass and trees, which seemed good. He put the wild boar meat back into the well.
Jiang Che came into the kitchen carrying a teapot, and Tang Tian came over while feeding the little civet cat with a syringe.
"Jiang Che, is this the Herba Corydalis tea? Quickly pour me a bowl and let me taste it."
Tang Tian said immediately.
"no problem."
Jiang Che took three large bowls. You should use bowls to drink herbal tea, so it will be more refreshing.
Three full bowls were poured. The tea soup was slightly brown and had a faint herbal smell.
"Mom, how about you try it too? I'll let the old men outside try it too."
Jiang Che said as he held a stack of bowls.
"Well, go ahead."
Jiang Che came to the square table with a teapot in his left hand and a stack of bowls in his right hand.
"Dear old men, I brought you some herbal tea. Please try it to cool down."
Jiang Che said as he placed five large bowls on the table.
Then he picked up the teapot and filled it up. The cold tea entered the bowl, and a layer of fine water droplets immediately condensed on the outer wall of the bowl.
