It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. When it comes to survival, rabbits, especially wild hares, are not as cute as they look.
Jiang Sanlang was a little embarrassed. "I did poke the rabbit's nest. Second brother and Yun Qi found it. Uncle Niu found a way to force the rabbit out. I followed behind and took advantage of the opportunity."
The three of them walked towards the Jiang family's house. Jiang Huaixu said, "Third brother, have you learned how to make a bow? Practice your aim more. Once you've mastered it, hunting rabbits won't be a piece of cake."
Speaking of this, Jiang Sanlang excitedly showed off his bow to the two of them. Jiang Huaixu knew that he couldn't stop talking easily, so he hurriedly said, "Third brother, I caught a few fat bamboo rats. Let's roast them later!"
Jiang Fu also said, "Yes, yes, we caught three, and one was particularly fat!"
"There's plenty of meat to eat tonight!" Jiang Sanlang was extremely excited. God knows how sad he felt when he learned that the wild rabbit had been washed away by the water!
The three of them came to their tent happily and put the fruits of their labor on the ground, instantly attracting a lot of people's attention.
"Xu girl also caught Zhu Liuzi?!"
"These three bamboo scoops are pretty good. One of them is as fat as a piglet. It must be full of fat!"
"Little sister! Why didn't you call me when you were catching the bamboo slippers?" Jiang Wei pouted angrily.
She felt abandoned!
"Afu and I went to dig wild vegetables, but we didn't expect to catch a bamboo rat. Sister, I'll grill some meat tonight, so you can eat more." Jiang Huaixu handed the backpack to Jiang Dalang, "Brother, you can skin the bamboo rat and rabbit. You're the best at skinning! It's too bloody, I'm scared."
Everyone: ······
You’re kidding me!
Jiang Dalang took the basket and the rabbit and asked, "Little sister, did you see anyone else just now?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to find out what's going on in Zhangzhou City if I run into an outsider."
Jiang Huaixu knew that her elder brother was just like Jiang Dalang, honest and quiet, but sometimes he was very thoughtful. In her original memory, she had seen Jiang Dalang reading a book seriously more than once.
Jiang Dalang does not have the understanding of Jiang Erlang. He should be aware of this, so he has always worked hard and silently to contribute to the family.
If he could settle down in Ganzhou in the future, Jiang Huaixu hoped that Jiang Dalang could continue his studies.
Night slowly falls, and the heat from the day meets the coolness of the night, condensing into water droplets that fall into the grass.
A group of refugees in the bamboo forest were busy, some were barbecuing meat, some were stewing soup. The adults were so busy that sweat was coming out of their foreheads, and the children were having a lot of fun.
Jiang Huaixu sat by the fire and made a barbecue tripod with Jiang Sanlang.
"Little sister, tell me where you caught the bamboo rat. Tomorrow, I'll show you my skills. I guarantee you'll always hit the target!"
"Third brother...goodbye. You can't even hit a bamboo three feet (about one meter) away from you. Don't say I taught you that when you go out." Jiang Huaixu was a little frustrated.
Jiang Sanlang insisted on showing off his archery skills in front of her. She couldn't stand it anymore and told him some techniques. Her lips were almost worn out, but Jiang Sanlang still didn't improve at all.
But this guy is an optimist and always feels that he has made progress.
His personality is really good, but up to now, apart from eating, Jiang Huaixu has not discovered what Jiang Sanlang is good at.
She even discovered Jiang Wei's talent—she was good at drawing. This all started when Qian Xiuzhu forced Jiang Wei to do needlework. While it was impossible to embroider well, the shapes of flowers and grass were incredibly lifelike.
"The broken bamboo is so slippery and thin, only my second brother, you and Yun Qi can hit it. I won't compete with you!"
This must be Jiang Sanlang’s secret to staying happy – acknowledge the excellence of others and shift all the blame that can be shifted.
Just as Jiang Huaixu was silently complaining in his heart, Jiang Erlang came up to them with a basin of cleaned bamboo rats.
"Everything is cleaned up, little sister, will you come and grill it?"
"I'm an expert at grilling meat, just wait and see."
If the barbecue grill wasn’t so eye-catching, Jiang Huaixu really wanted to take it out.
Two tripods were placed on both sides of the fire. She took a bamboo pole with a sharpened end, put the largest bamboo rat on the pole, and slowly roasted it on the fire.
After roasting for a while, it attracted many children to come and watch.
Jiang Wei squatted in the front row, looking at the bamboo rat with a slightly yellowed skin, her eyes shining brightly. Xiaofeng squatted with her, drooling uncontrollably. Even Jiang Fu couldn't stop swallowing.
Jiang Huaixu sprinkled the seasonings mixed in the bamboo tube on the bamboo rat, adding another layer of fragrance.
Jiang Sanlang couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, when can we eat?"
"Wait a little longer, the inside is not cooked." Jiang Huaixu slowly rolled the bamboo pole.
After about a quarter of an hour, the fire gradually died down. She took out a dagger and sliced a piece of roasted meat from the bamboo rat. The meat was sizzling with oil and had a browned surface. She looked up and saw that everyone was staring at the meat. It seemed that it would be inappropriate to give it to anyone first, so Jiang Huaixu stuffed it into her own mouth.
The tender, firm meat with a slightly burnt aroma was so delicious that it soothed my hungry stomach in an instant, and then an even stronger feeling of hunger came over me.
[Host, you are eating alone!] Fu Tuan angrily accused in the space.
Jiang Huaixu ignored it and asked Jiang Sanlang to bring a bowl. He skillfully cut off the browned meat slices and asked him to take them to the adults.
Then she sprinkled a layer of seasoning on the bamboo rat and continued to roast it.
Soon a bamboo rat was shared among the people. Although there was not much meat, it was very delicious and everyone was very satisfied.
After eating, Jiang Huaixu was not idle either, and continued to roast the remaining two.
