"Look...we got something good back."
Holding the prey in his hand ostentatiously, Chen Lei grinned with a genuinely silly air.
"Hey... why are there so many fish?" Wen Maidong looked at a pile of fish by the stream and asked curiously.
"Oh my God! This is really..." Chen Lei immediately understood that this must be Niu Niu's masterpiece.
"Niuniu...Brother, let me make a deal with you. I just had the chance to show off, and you knocked me to the ground."
"Brother...you can't blame me. I didn't expect there would be so many."
Shen Yun couldn't help but touch her head and smiled foolishly. She really didn't expect that the three of them would catch so many fish in such a short time. This must be at least 20 kilograms, which is a bit worrying just thinking about it.
"Brother...Brother...you are back. Come on, let's kill the fish quickly and rub salt on it so that it won't go bad."
Wen Maiya looked at the pile of small fish at his feet with a sense of accomplishment. Haha, these were all caught by them. They don’t have to worry about not having meat to eat for a while.
"Yes... yes... brother, hurry up and take out the knife. Prepare it. Save the fish offal. We will have a pot of fish offal for dinner."
This amount of fish was enough for the five of them. Furthermore, these fish would last them a while after they got home and prepared them. It was such a perfect day to go out. It was such a perfect day.
"Okay... come up quickly to rest and warm yourself up."
Although the weather was getting hot, girls were different from boys after all. They had less firepower, so it would be difficult to deal with them if they caught a cold. Wen Maidong couldn't help but care about Shen Yun's health because of his grandfather's teachings since childhood. Shen Yun was weak and was most afraid of this kind of situation.
"So...are we still getting pheasants and rabbits?"
Chen Lei looked at the rabbit and pheasant in his hands with some confusion. With so many fish, their original plan seemed to be ruined.
"But let's not get so many. Let's just get two pheasants and a rabbit."
"Yes, rabbits and pheasants too."
These are all good things, all meat. Besides, the picnic originally ordered also focused on these two things. Although there is a lot of fish, meat is the most important.
"Then... I'll prepare the pheasant and rabbit. Niuniu, you can season the food and be the chef."
Niuniu's cooking skills were the best among them, practically on par with a royal chef. Chen Lei and Shen Yu were practically drooling over their sister's cooking. Her every move was a picture of beauty, a true delight to the eyes. They'd say whoever married their sister would be the richest benefactor; she was a true all-rounder.
"Okay, then, clean these up."
If you want to grill, you naturally need to prepare the rack. None of this is difficult for Shen Yun. He took out a folding iron plate from behind his back and took a look at the fire where a small iron pot was already being used to prepare the fish soup. Shen Yun pondered for a moment and decided to start cooking on both sides at the same time to save time.
"Niuniu...is there enough firewood? Do you need me to pick up some?"
"No, that's enough, just wait and eat!"
Without even looking up, Shen Yun took out the seasoning he had prepared from behind him, and then looked at the rabbit in his hand. He chose a wooden stick of appropriate size, inserted it into the already prepared rabbit, and casually began to apply his secret seasoning.
After a while, Chen Yun had finished it. He put the rabbit on the fire and gave his brother some instructions, then started to work on the two pheasants.
"Brother... go see if there are any large leaves, preferably ones that can wrap the pheasant. Oh, and pick up some mushrooms or fungi while you're at it."
"Well, okay..."
Everyone was quite enthusiastic about the food. Furthermore, the location was suitable, and since it was daytime, following my sister wouldn't be too dangerous. The hunting rifles were no pushovers, and I was quite skilled, not at all fragile.
After a short while, everything was ready. Everyone stared at the roasted rabbit that was already emitting a fragrant smell and steaming, and the boiling fish soup, and they all took a long breath.
“It smells so good…”
"Are you ready? Are you ready?"
The more anxious people couldn't help but urge, "Is it ready yet?" How long will it take before they can eat? Their stomachs started to growl.
"Okay, let's start..."
The five of them took out the prepared bamboo bowls and chopsticks and worked hard. Whatever they grabbed was theirs, and no one was polite.
"It's so delicious... Niuniu, your cooking skills have improved again."
"Yes! Niuniu's cooking skills are good enough to make her a chef."
This craftsmanship is beyond reproach. No one in their family can match Niuniu's craftsmanship.
"Okay, if it tastes good, eat more and stop talking." Chen Yun picked up the fish soup that had already cooled down and took a sip carefully. It was still a little lacking. It would taste better if there were more seasoning.
The skills given by the system were actually quite good, and Shen Yun's favorability towards the system was increasing. After all, he was the one who got all the benefits.
After eating and drinking, everyone lay down on the grass, stroking their bulging bellies and feeling very comfortable. It was so comfortable, so comfortable, and they lived like gods.
"That's great, this is what it means to live a good life."
"Yeah! Think about the life we've been through, ah... when will things get better?"
I really don't know whether to describe the current state of affairs as good or bad. A while ago, I heard there was another uproar in town, a truly utter riot. Every household was on edge, fearing big-character posters, arrests and struggle sessions by the Red Guards and the military, and even more so, the possibility of being accused of some crime. Protecting oneself was paramount.
"I don't know, but I don't think it will be over so soon. The situation is still tense, so we should be careful."
"By the way, the black market has started to crack down recently, so you guys better be careful."
It's best to go out and buy things; the black market is too dangerous. Exposing yourself to danger is not a manly thing to do; you must be cautious.
"Well...don't worry! I already have a few old customers. It's safer to send the things I get from them than on the black market. Plus, those industrial coupons and food coupons are actually quite reasonable."
"Right...there's nothing wrong with being more careful in the future. It's better to be cautious in the black market."
If you stand by the river often, you will get your feet wet. If something goes wrong, they will be hard to explain. It is better to take the dark route. The black market is too dangerous and too exposed under people's noses.
