After this incident, the evening meal was much more delicious. Not only did they stew pheasant with old ginseng, but they also stewed a big pot of venison.
These are all the good meats that are stewed. After stewing this pot, the remaining parts are the deer head, hooves and other parts that are not easy to stew.
In order to take care of Chen Shuxu and his sister, I also fried a portion of wild vegetables for them, using a little animal oil, and it tasted quite good.
The brother and sister really worked hard. They were busy for the whole afternoon and didn't come back until almost time for dinner. They dug two large baskets of wild vegetables. Even Sun was surprised.
Zhao first prepared food for the brother and sister, a bowl of porridge, a pancake, and a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables for each person.
"Come on, you two have been busy all afternoon. Come on, eat quickly. If you're not full, we can talk later. There's more."
After being busy all afternoon, both of them were already starving. Chen Shuxu was still able to remain calm, while Qiaomei almost took the pancake and started to eat it.
Chen Shuxu didn't say anything. "Thank you, Grandma Zhao. This is enough. I'll be full!"
Qiaomei couldn't speak at all with a big mouthful of biscuit in her mouth, so she could only nod to express her gratitude.
Zhao knew they were hungry, so she said nothing and walked away quickly.
Little Lingling has recovered from her sadness. Looking at the big chicken leg in her bowl, the radish no longer tastes good.
Lin Changshu had heard about ginseng, but he still felt it was a bit of a waste to use it to make soup for them.
"Just stew it once, this is too precious. Our injuries weren't serious to begin with, and we're almost healed. There's no need to use such expensive herbs."
He felt heartbroken every time he thought about it, and his face was almost wrinkled.
Zhao was about to serve him some soup, but after taking just one spoonful she started to shout that it was enough.
"Alright, alright, alright, that's enough, that's enough. Ginseng is hard to come by, so don't just drink it for us. This is a big pot, let's share a little bit for everyone to nourish us. We won't have time to be so meticulous when we're on our way."
After hearing what he said, Zhao did not insist and gave everyone half a bowl, even the children.
Lin Changhe held the bowl and sighed, "Old lady, I, am I dreaming? I can actually drink ginseng soup in this lifetime?"
Mrs. Sun, who was standing by, was also extremely excited. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you don't like it, don't drink it! This is all thanks to my eldest granddaughter. You didn't see that the pheasant was so obedient. As soon as my granddaughter said she wanted to eat chicken, she fluttered down the mountain on her own."
I can see clearly now. My granddaughter is the reincarnation of a lucky star. She will have a good life in the future! Drink it while it's hot and absorb all the medicinal effects. This way it won't be wasted!
And my daughter-in-law, you should drink it too. I don’t have anything else to nourish you. It will be good for my grandson if you drink it.
Just remember this affection in your heart, and from now on, Little Bell will be the granddaughter of both our families, and I will spoil her to my heart's content! If anyone dares to bully my granddaughter, I will never forgive him!
Sun's words were sincere and powerful. After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone in her family as if giving a warning, and then she smiled at Xiao Lingling.
Zhao originally wanted to argue, but then she thought about it and felt that it would be nice to have more people pampering her, so she didn't bother to argue with Sun.
Little Lingling was eating happily at the moment. She had stuffed the big chicken leg into her mouth. Before she could taste the flavor, she found that everyone was looking at her. For a moment, she didn't know whether to eat it or not.
Or maybe her own mother felt sorry for her, "Aunt, what are you talking about? Our two families are very close, no one will bully Xiao Lingdang. Everyone, drink it while it's hot. This ginseng is most effective when it's hot!"
It will also be effective for your injuries. Who knows, you might be completely healed when you wake up tomorrow!"
Everyone then withdrew their gazes, carefully holding their bowls and drinking in small sips.
But there are exceptions, such as Lin Wu.
This guy imitated Xiao Lingling to the extreme. He was so greedy that he drank it all in just two gulps. He just swallowed it whole and didn't even taste the flavor after finishing it.
He held the empty bowl with a look of disappointment on his face, "Milk, is there any more? I, I drank it too fast and I can't even taste it."
Zhao was speechless. "It's gone. There are only a few pieces of chicken left in the pot. You're just a kid, you can't drink that much. If you overdo it, you'll get a nosebleed."
This made Lin Wu very uncomfortable. The whole family was drinking chicken soup slowly, with such enjoyment on their faces. He couldn't help but saliva was secreted crazily when he saw the saliva in his mouth.
Since his elders were no longer able to help, he immediately turned his gaze to the brothers around him.
"Third brother, what does this chicken soup taste like? Is it salty? How about I try it for you?"
Lin Ran rolled his eyes at him and turned away without looking at him.
Little guy, isn't it time for you to threaten me and ask for my private money?
Lin Wu pouted, "Second brother, you still have so much chicken soup, I..."
Lin Hao didn't wait for him to finish, he moved to Zhao's side with the soup bowl in his arms, and deliberately made slurping sounds.
Lin Wu: Not only did you not give me a drink, but you even tempted me. You’re not a good brother!
He immediately switched to the next one, "Brother, you're my real brother. They won't let me drink it, so you give me a taste. I promise, just one sip, a small sip, a tiny sip!"
Lin Wen stopped drinking his soup and turned around to look at him. Lin Wu's eyes lit up and he imitated Little Bell to act cute and pout.
Lin Wen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his eyelids twitched unconsciously when he saw this scene. He turned his head and drank the soup in the bowl in no time. After finishing it, he let Lin Wu look at the empty bowl.
At this moment, Lin Wu couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears loudly.
Little Lingling was busy eating meat and just glanced at her fourth brother and ignored him.
Everyone quickly finished their chicken soup. Seeing that it was all gone, Lin Wu could only sit back sobbing. He felt so sad that he couldn't even enjoy the meat anymore.
After dinner, the family simply washed up, sat by the campfire and chatted for a while, and only returned to their tents to rest late at night.
Xiao Lingling was the first one to fall asleep. After all, she was really tired today. She started to feel sleepy while eating. If it weren't for the smell of meat, she would have fallen asleep long ago.
It was midnight, and apart from the faint flicker of a campfire, everything was quiet. Jin Bei was curled up in front of the tent, taking a nap, when suddenly his ears moved, as if he heard something.
Soon it opened its eyes and glanced towards the mountain. Looking at the startled birds, a hint of alertness flashed in its eyes. It did not fall asleep until the mountain returned to calm.
