Pushing aside the grass beside the road, Jiang Yanxu found a pheasant with bright feathers lying inside. He used local materials to weave a simple straw rope and tied up its wings and legs.
"It's just been knocked unconscious, it's not dead yet. We'll pick some more mushrooms in the mountains this afternoon and use it as dinner."
He Ruixue nodded quickly, expressing her anticipation.
At this moment, they really looked like a couple living in seclusion in the mountains, living leisurely and not having to worry about anything happening outside. The only thing they had to worry about was three meals a day.
Back in the cabin, the kitchen was too hot and the lighting was poor, so Jiang Yanxu simply built a new stove next to it.
First, use stones to piece together the shape, then smear it with yellow mud, and finally dry it over a fire. Put a pot on it and it becomes an open-air kitchen.
He Ruixue was processing hawthorns nearby. The seeds of this thing were attached to the flesh, and there were many of them, so it was very difficult to handle.
She wrote down some tips she had seen online, which included only digging out the tail, leaving the stem at the front, cleaning it, and then cooking it in a pot.
After cooking, pinch the hawthorn stem and turn the flesh in a circle, and all the seeds will fall off along with the stem.
There are five in total, like small flowers squeezed together.
After all the hawthorn pulp was separated, it had to be put into a stone mortar and crushed. There was no such stone in the kitchen, so Jiang Yanxu found an oval stone, washed it clean, and pounded it directly in the pot.
After it becomes completely paste, use gauze to filter out impurities and further refine it, leaving only the dense pulp. Here, use the handkerchief that He Ruixue has not used yet as a substitute.
The filtered pulp and the bowl of water left over from cooking the hawthorns were put into the pot, and then added with crushed sugar cubes. Jiang Yanxu didn't buy white sugar, so the same went for brown sugar.
He Ruixue was afraid that it was not sweet enough, so she added a few spoonfuls of honey and then simmered it over low heat.
