Lin Zhiyue approached the pheasant cautiously, taking every step very slowly, as if afraid to disturb this sudden "surprise".
When she reached the pheasant, she squatted down and looked carefully at this unexpected gain.
The pheasant's feathers were colorful, sparkling with charming luster under the sunlight, but at this moment its eyes were closed and it lay motionless on the ground, no longer breathable.
Lin Zhiyue reached out and gently touched its feathers. The touch was smooth, and she couldn't help but sigh again at this wonderful encounter.
"This matter is very strange, I can't just let it go like this." Lin Zhiyue thought to herself. She decided not to rush home, but to explore the forest carefully to see if similar strange phenomena would occur again.
She carefully put the pheasant into the backpack and placed it together with the herbs she had picked earlier, then stood up and walked deeper into the forest with a determined look.
As we go deeper into the mountains, the surrounding vegetation becomes increasingly lush, and sunlight shines through the gaps between branches and leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.
Lin Zhiyue kept an eye on the road beneath her feet to avoid being tripped by tree roots or rocks, while silently making a wish in her heart.
"It would be nice if there were some wild fruits. I haven't tasted fresh fruits for a long time." She muttered softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a slight "rustling" sound coming from not far ahead.
Lin Zhiyue's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She felt nervous and excited at the same time. She quickened her pace and walked towards the source of the sound.
Pushing aside a thick bush, the sight before her dazzled her.
I saw several tall trees hung with red wild fruits. The fruits were plump and round, and looked particularly tempting against the backdrop of green leaves.
Lin Zhiyue couldn't believe her eyes. She walked quickly to the tree, reached out to pick a wild fruit, put it in her mouth and took a light bite. The sweet and sour juice instantly burst in her mouth, stimulating her taste buds and bringing a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
"It seems that this ability of 'wishes come true' is real!" Lin Zhiyue was extremely surprised, but also a little worried.
If this ability were known to others, it might cause endless trouble.
She decided to keep the matter deep in her heart and not tell anyone.
In the following time, Lin Zhiyue continued to explore the mountains and forests. She tried to make various wishes, and the magical thing was that most of them came true.
Sometimes she found a clear, sweet spring to quench her thirst; sometimes she found a field of fresh wild vegetables, which was enough to improve her diet.
It was not until the sun set and the sky was dyed orange-red that Lin Zhiyue realized it was getting late.
She carried a backpack filled with herbs, wild fruits, wild vegetables and the pheasant, and set off on her journey home with satisfaction but caution.
Along the way, she was thinking about the pros and cons of this ability and how to use it properly.
After returning home, Lin Zhiyue took out the things in the backpack one by one.
Lin Zhiyue returned home happily and took out the "treasures" from the basket one by one.
She gently placed the pheasant on the chopping board. Its colorful feathers gleamed in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if telling the story of its unexpected and wonderful "journey".
Next to it are freshly picked mushrooms with round caps and a rustic feel unique to the mountains and forests, as well as a few tender green side dishes, adding a bit of color to the upcoming culinary feast.
Lin Zhiyue washed his hands, picked up a kitchen knife and started to process the pheasant.
She is skilled, and the difficult life in the last days has enabled her to develop a set of survival skills.
The blade moved across the chicken's body, and soon all the chicken feathers were cleaned up and the chicken's internal organs were properly removed.
She cut the processed chicken into even-sized pieces and rinsed it repeatedly in clean water until the blood was completely washed away and the chicken took on a clean color.
Then she turned her eyes to the mushrooms.
She carefully broke open the mushrooms one by one and cleaned the dirt between the gills carefully to ensure that each mushroom was clean and fresh.
After cleaning, the mushrooms were neatly stacked aside. Water droplets slid down the caps and gathered into a small puddle on the chopping board.
Everything was ready, Lin Zhiyue lit a fire and placed the iron pot on the stove.
After the bottom of the pot was slightly heated, she poured in a little precious cooking oil. The oil droplets jumped happily in the pot, making a "sizzling" sound. In an instant, a faint aroma of oil filled the kitchen.
Lin Zhiyue put the chopped ginger slices and scallion segments into the pot and stir-fried them. The aroma of scallion and ginger was instantly stimulated, intertwining with the aroma of oil, stimulating her sense of smell.
Then, she poured the chicken pieces into the pot. As the chicken was put into the pot, there was a crackling sound in the pot. The chicken quickly changed color in the pot, and the surface gradually turned golden.
Lin Zhiyue held the spatula and kept stir-frying the chicken so that every piece of chicken could be evenly heated.
Then, she added appropriate amounts of soy sauce and cooking wine. The rich color of the soy sauce instantly wrapped the chicken, and the aroma of the cooking wine also spread in the pot, adding a unique flavor to the dish.
After stir-frying for a while, she added enough water, covered the pot, and simmered it slowly over low heat.
As time passed, the soup in the pot began to boil, and the rich aroma of meat wafted out from the gaps in the lid, filling the entire kitchen.
Lin Zhiyue opened the lid of the pot and put the cleaned mushrooms into the pot. The mushrooms were instantly submerged in the rich soup.
She covered the pot again and let the mushrooms simmer slowly in the broth, absorbing the delicious flavor of the chicken.
About half an hour later, Lin Zhiyue opened the lid of the pot again. At this time, the mushrooms had become plump and juicy, and the chicken was stewed until soft and tasty.
