Zhao also meant this. "Yes, old man, why don't we spend the night in this little valley? Before, everyone was too afraid to even drink water freely, so let them have a good time. We don't know when we'll encounter such a good thing again."
Lin Changshu glanced at his eldest brother and nodded when he saw that he meant the same thing. "Alright, then let's stay in this small valley for one night. Big brother, you two brothers should bring our horse-drawn carriages and donkey-drawn carts in. It's not safe to leave them outside. It would be troublesome if someone steals them."
If you're not in a hurry to leave, you can dig up some more wild vegetables this afternoon and collect some firewood."
As soon as they heard that he agreed, everyone smiled and got busy.
This small valley is not big, and the place where they settled was not too close to the cave entrance. After all, it was pitch black inside, and no one knew what was inside. It was safer to stay a little further away.
Lin Feng simply cut down two trees to create a relatively open space, which could be used as a place to camp at night.
In order to make washing more convenient, he also used oil paper to build a simple small tent not far away, and then he would bring hot water and a basin to take a bath here.
However, while Lin Feng was busy here, Xiao Lingling followed her like a little tail, showing her curiosity from time to time.
"Daddy, why do we have to spread this paper on the ground? Won't it get damaged?"
"Dad, why are you wrapping up this paper again? It's so wasteful! Isn't paper expensive?"
"Huh? Daddy, why doesn't it fall off if I wrap it around it like this?"
......
In short, Xiao Lingling never stopped talking while Lin Feng was busy. She asked a lot of questions about all sorts of things. Fortunately, Lin Feng was patient and answered every question he asked.
But when he was done, he was ready to go chop wood. "Okay, Daddy is going to chop some dry wood now. Do you want to go too?"
Little Bell's eyes lit up. She was afraid of being idle, as long as she had something to do, it would be fine.
So he nodded quickly, took Lin Feng's hand, and the two turned around and went to a farther hillside to start cutting trees.
This was a strenuous job, and Xiao Lingling was eager to try it, but Lin Feng didn't dare let her do it, so he let her pick flowers for fun on the side.
Little Bell pouted and felt angry.
Humph, Daddy looks down on her!
No, the more Daddy looked down on her, the better she had to behave. Chopping trees was a bit tiring, but she could do something else!
It just so happens that we have finished eating the pheasant last time, so let’s change it today!
After making a plan, Xiao Lingling quietly moved to the grass next to her. While Lin Feng was not looking at her, she caught two wild rabbits from the space, one white and one gray, both of which were quite fat.
But she didn't dare let go. The wild rabbits ran faster than pheasants. She picked up one in each hand and fell to the ground.
"Ah! Rabbit, rabbit! I caught a rabbit! Daddy, Daddy, I caught a rabbit."
Lin Feng was chopping wood enthusiastically. When he heard the sound, he was so scared that he dropped the axe and ran towards his daughter. He saw her lying in the grass with even her little face not visible. He quickly went over and picked her up.
When he saw the rabbit in Xiao Lingling's arms, he was stunned for a moment.
"this......"
"Daddy, I caught these. I saw them eating grass and I pounced on them and caught them. Am I awesome?"
Little Lingling was so arrogant that the two wild rabbits in her hands looked so depressed that they didn't even move their legs.
Lin Feng finally came to his senses and swallowed subconsciously, "Awesome, awesome! Little Bell is the best. Come on, Daddy will send you and the hare back first, so they don't run away."
When little Lingling thought about having a rabbit to eat soon, her saliva immediately began to flow out, and her mouth was a little glistening when she spoke.
"Hehe, okay, okay, I'm going to tell grandma that I want to eat braised rabbit, hehe."
Lin Feng was also amused by her silly look, "Okay, okay, go tell your grandma."
As he was speaking, he returned to the camp with his daughter in his arms. Seeing Zhao preparing to stir-fry wild vegetables, he quickly called her.
"Mom, don't rush to cook. Your granddaughter is amazing. She just caught two wild rabbits and said she wants to eat braised rabbit."
After saying that, Xiao Lingling nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, grandma, I want to eat braised rabbit."
When Zhao saw the rabbits in her hand, what else did she not understand? She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Okay, okay, I got it. Give them to me. These two rabbits are quite fat. Kill one and keep the other. Anyway, we have a carriage now, so one more won't make any difference.
"Here, Boss, take this hare and kill it. Save the skin and make a pair of rabbit-skin shoes for my granddaughter in winter. They'll keep her warm."
Little Bell was a little excited when she heard this, and struggled in Lin Feng's arms, trying to get out. Seeing this, Lin Feng had no choice but to let her down, "Mom, you take care of Little Bell, I'll go back to chopping wood."
"Okay, go ahead, little bell, just follow grandma. Are you hungry? If you are, grandma will boil you an egg first, okay?"
Who needs eggs when there is meat to eat? So Xiao Lingling immediately shook her head and said, "No need, grandma. I, I'm not hungry now, hehe."
Zhao chuckled, "Okay, okay, then I'll save some space for the meat later!"
Everyone worked very quickly and the rabbit meat was ready in the pot in no time.
It is called braised, but in fact it is just stir-fried first and then stewed. A little homemade soybean paste is added during the stewing process. It tastes a little more flavorful than the usual direct stewing.
As the sky grew darker, those who had gone out to chop wood and gather wild vegetables returned. Today's harvest was good; they had chopped enough wood to last them three or four days, and they had dug two large baskets full of wild vegetables.
Today the place is spacious, so everyone moved wooden stools directly to the open ground and sat by the fire. With the firelight, it was warm and bright, which was a unique experience.
The children were so happy to know that they had rabbit meat to eat today. The rabbits were big, weighing at least five or six pounds. They stewed a big pot of it and also had some stir-fried wild vegetables. It was a rare chance for them to have a full meal.
Little Lingling was very happy looking at the meat in the bowl. All the meat given to her was good meat, basically chunks of meat from the chest and legs. She ate until her face was covered with oil.
And you can tell at first glance that he's overeating. His short, thick legs aren't even sitting still on the wooden stakes, they're swaying back and forth.
"Wow, the meat is so delicious and smells so good."
Others thought this was okay, but Zhao felt a little sad. The child had been in their family for two and a half years and had never enjoyed any happiness.
I think she only ate meat once, which was at the beginning of last year. She had just turned one year old at that time, so I let her savour the taste.
Later, I could only eat an egg at most. Now, if I want to eat meat, I have to cook it for myself and make it for the children.
Thinking this in her mind, Zhao picked up several good pieces for Xiao Lingling.
