After cleaning, they found a lot of dry grass and made a bed for Qiu Yantang. As for them, it didn't matter, they just wanted to sleep there.
Qiu Guangdong asked everyone to clean up the area around the cave entrance and also asked people to find yellow mud suitable for making beggar's chicken.
They found it quickly, and when they came back, they picked two large leaves.
Qiu Yantang could tell at a glance that it was a large-leafed ice lotus, with a diameter of nearly one meter.
"Little Ancestor, can I use these leaves to wrap the chicken?"
"This leaf is so precious, can it be used to make beggar's chicken?" Qiu Yantang was a little dreamy, she couldn't bear to look at it.
Jin San scratched his head. "Is it precious? There are plenty of them on our mountains!"
Only then did Qiu Yantang realize that this was the 1960s. She didn't know if it was because of the parallel world, or if there were so many rare species in the 1960s in her original place.
"All right……"
"Oh, my dear, I also picked some mushrooms and put them in the pheasant's stomach. It tastes even better."
After Qiu Zongsheng finished speaking, he took out the mushrooms he had picked. When Qiu Yantang saw the mushrooms, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Luckily, you have a guardian deity at home, otherwise you would have died long ago. Half of these mushrooms are poisonous..."
"Zong Sheng, if you have any objections to us, just say it..." Qiu Guangdong also spoke from the side. This mushroom does look okay, even he can't tell the difference.
Qiu Zongsheng quickly shook his head, "That's absolutely not what I meant. I just think these mushrooms are similar to the ones we grow in our mushroom house!"
Indeed, they are all mushrooms...
"It's much worse." Qiu Yantang said.
Jin San and the others didn't quite understand either, "How about you, little ancestor, explain it to us."
"Okay, then you guys make the beggar's chicken first, I'm hungry..."
It will take at least forty minutes to heal. If we do it after I finish talking, she will be so hungry.
The world is big, but eating is the most important!
After they gutted and cleaned the chicken, Qiu Yantang instructed them to clean out the gizzards, heart, and liver and put them directly into the chicken's stomach. Then they stuffed the cleaned mushrooms in and added some salt to season.
The poisonous mushrooms were picked out, but not thrown away. These were negative examples, and we had to teach them why they couldn't be eaten.
Qiu Yantang also specially found wild ginger to remove the fishy smell.
Then wrap the chicken with large-leaf ice lotus, so that the tenderness of the chicken can be locked inside, and then wrap it with yellow mud. Then you can dig a hole and roast it with fire.
It can be cooked in 40 minutes, but in order to make the meat more delicious, it is better to wait for more than an hour.
"Guangdong, I want to eat fish." The beggar's chicken had just been cooked, and Qiu Yantang wanted to eat fish...
Seeing that it was still early, Qiu Guangdong said, "How about Zongsheng, you go and catch the whole fish?"
Before Qiu Zongsheng could say anything, Qiu Yantang quickly refused.
She was not afraid that the fish Qiu Zongsheng caught might be poisonous.
"Let's wait until winter. The fish at this time have an earthy smell. Once the ice is solid, we can organize a fishing trip."
The three flowers, five Luo and eighteen seeds, each one is more delicious than the other. Qiu Yantang feels that this era is actually quite happy.
The pace of life is slow, and you can even stay indoors and play snowball fights in the winter.
Qiu Guangdong felt more hopeful. If the little ancestor was around, the fish would surely jump up by itself.
In winter, fish in the water basically do not eat much. The water temperature is relatively low, and the fish are not very active. The meat will be more tender, and the earthy smell of freshwater fish will be reduced a lot.
Qiu Yantang likes to eat fish, but it cannot have a fishy smell or too many bones.
All in all, she is still a rather picky person.
"Okay, let me tell you what these mushrooms are. This is dog urine moss. Don't be fooled by its appearance, but this kind of dog urine moss is inedible when it's small. It will cause diarrhea and fainting. And this..."
It took more than an hour to finish talking. Qiu Zongsheng brought back quite a wide variety of poisonous mushrooms.
They made a beggar's chicken, which was exclusively for Qiu Yantang. As for the others, they roasted some rabbits and pheasants, which tasted quite good with the seasoning, though a bit dry.
"It's almost done." Jin San dug out the mud ball of the beggar's chicken. There were already some cracks on it, and the moisture on it had completely evaporated.
With a hard knock with a small stone, the mud will break apart, revealing the large-leafed ice lotus inside, and the tempting fragrance will be released.
Jin San placed the beggar's chicken directly in front of Qiu Yantang and opened the lotus leaf...
“Mmm, smells so good!”
Qiu Yantang directly tore off a chicken leg. Since the hair on the chicken skin was difficult to handle in the wild, he peeled off all of it. Wrapping it in lotus leaves could also lock in the juice inside.
There are obvious oil stains on the chicken legs.
Qiu Yantang took a bite and the juice went into his mouth. It was a little hot, but the taste was so delicious.
The aroma of chicken, mixed with the aroma of mushrooms and the fresh fragrance of lotus leaves, made Qiu Yantang unable to stop.
Qiu Yantang ate most of the chicken in one go and let them share the rest.
Regardless of Qiu Yantang's seniority or age, these people would not compete with her for food.
No matter what kind of wedding event is held according to her generation, she has to have her own table.
"Little ancestor, we will keep watch, you go to sleep first." Jin San said. It was really tiring for the little ancestor to go out hunting with them.
Qiu Yantang nodded, "Then I'll go to bed. Call me tomorrow."
"Okay, little ancestor."
They used straw to make a place for Qiu Yantang in the cave. The straw was so thick that Qiu Yantang felt like he was lying on a bed.
Someone with good craftsmanship even made a straw quilt for her, fearing that she would be cold when sleeping. Qiu Yantang looked at the craftsmanship and found it quite good.
She took out a quilt from the space, covered herself with it, and then covered the straw quilt on top of it. The disguise was perfect.
She is just a little more severe, but she is still afraid of the cold. It is already August now, and it is quite hot during the day, but it starts to get cool at night.
She was thinking that she should find a place with more prey tomorrow. She had heard of the silly roe deer but had never eaten it. She had to find a way to taste it now.
As he was thinking, Qiu Yantang fell asleep.
Outside the cave, Qiu Guangdong didn't keep watch because he was older, so the others just took turns protecting the fire from going out. After all, the wild beasts at this time were still very afraid of fire.
If they take turns, on average it takes less than an hour for each person.
