Thinking about the wild goods he picked up last time he went into the mountains, Gu Qingning also planned to go and take a look.
After Xiaohua and the others put away the pig feed, they went to the back mountain in a group. Because there were children with them, Gu Qingning did not go deep into the mountain.
If we encounter any large wild animals, it will be difficult to explain to the parents of these children.
After all, the other person was kind enough to ask her to take care of him, so Gu Qingning appreciated it.
It rained a few days ago, and now mushrooms have started to emerge, but they are still very small.
Gu Qingning looked at the colorful mushrooms and didn't dare to touch them.
Nowadays, those places in the south are most fond of making trouble at this time.
Gu Qingning could only pick up some wood ear mushrooms, but didn't want any small mushrooms. Looking at the children running around, she said, "Don't get separated. Stay together. After we finish picking up the things here, we have to go back. You can't go any further."
The children were all wild and looked at each other, but finally had no choice but to agree.
It must be said that Gu Qingning is lucky.
Even the firewood had been picked up outside, and Gu Qingning found a nest of pheasant eggs in the weeds.
There are seven of them.
"Sister, these are pheasant eggs."
"Wow, sister, you are so awesome."
A group of children looked at Gu Qingning with admiration and glared at the pheasant eggs with greedy eyes. It was not easy for any family at this time.
They could only barely eat and keep warm, and could only eat eggs and meat during festivals.
Seeing the child's greed, Gu Qingning suggested, "Why don't we pick up some firewood and roast it."
They had been helping themselves all morning and had intended to give them some candy.
Look, it’s ready.
Xiaohua hesitated, but still refused with a greedy look: "Sister, you found this by yourself, we shouldn't have it."
Xiaohua's family doesn't have a serious preference for boys over girls. She has read some books and knows a lot.
Gu Qingning touched her hair and bent down. "Xiaohua, we discovered it together. If you hadn't asked me to come along, I wouldn't have found out, right? So you guys also have a share."
Other children thought about it and realized that the same logic applies.
Gu Qingning clapped her hands, "So, let's roast it. Hurry up and collect some firewood."
As soon as Gu Qingning finished speaking, the children dispersed.
Gu Qingning looked at the river beside the mountain and went straight there.
There are few people here, so no one will notice even if you grill something.
Gu Qingning exchanged matches from the mall, and Xiaohua and others came back with the firewood in no time.
Gu Qingning used weeds to ignite the fire, then added firewood, and when it was almost done, put the eggs in.
Several children looked at it eagerly, their saliva almost dripping, and Gu Qingning found it a little funny.
Looking at the small river on the side, I walked over.
Gu Qingning bent down and was about to wash her hands, but unexpectedly she saw a fish.
Oh, there’s more than one.
"Xiaohua, give me your bamboo basket."
Gu Qingning's voice was a little loud, and Xiaohua reacted quickly. She poured the mushrooms in the bamboo basket aside and ran over.
Looking at the fish in the river, my eyes light up.
Oh my god, what kind of luck is this Sister Gu.
I came here often before and never noticed it.
Several children also came over, their eyes full of excitement, but they didn't dare to move for fear of scaring the fish away.
Now Gu Qingning didn’t care about the cold anymore. She took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs and went downstairs.
I thought the river water would be freezing cold, but it turned out to be warm.
Gu Qingning took the basket and walked over slowly.
The others also stood still, staring intently.
The ripples on the water surface still startled the fish, and it wanted to dive back to the deep bottom of the river.
"Sister, it's going to run away, that one is going to run away."
"Sister, this one is the biggest."
"Sister, hurry up."
Several children were making a lot of noise, as if they couldn't wait to pounce on it. They hadn't eaten meat for a long time and were very greedy.
Gu Qingning fished out the fish with precise movements, but only caught two.
Watching one of the big fish escape, Gu Qingning threw the basket directly on the river bank.
Damn, want to run? She even wants to spit out the food in her mouth.
impossible.
Gu Qingning picked up a big rock and threw it directly, because she had taken the pill and had practiced shooting in her previous life.
Gu Qingning has very good accuracy.
The stones were thrown one after another, and the fish that were hit floated up immediately.
"Wow, sister, you are so amazing, all these fish are floating up."
"Sister, you're awesome."
These kids have never seen these before. They are so excited, as if they have done something big.
Gu Qingning picked up the fish and threw it back to the shore with force.
After exerting some effort, it wasn't so cold anymore, and Gu Qingning dragged her legs back to the shore.
Xiaohua was so happy when she took Tiewa and the others to pick up fish.
Gu Qingning put on her shoes and socks and looked at the fish. Perhaps because there was less hunting here, the fish were very fat.
There are six in total. The big one weighs five or six kilograms, the small one weighs three kilograms, and the largest one weighs eight kilograms.
Anyway, it’s still early, so I can continue to slack off.
Gu Qingning looked at those radish heads and waved her hand, "Add more firewood, and I'll grill some fish for you."
When they heard that they could grill the fish, these radish heads became even more excited.
Some of them stayed behind to clean the fish with Gu Qingning, while some went to fetch firewood.
Gu Qingning planned to roast three fish, one weighing six pounds and two weighing three pounds. Gu Qingning skillfully used a sickle to scrape the fish scales and cut open their bellies to clean them.
The other children each did their own part, and Xiaohua even threw the sweet potatoes she brought from home into the fire.
This was the surplus food given to her by her family. She would eat it when she was hungry while working.
The other children did the same.
The children who came back from collecting firewood also surrounded Gu Qingning, their eyes never leaving her.
After cleaning the fish, Gu Qingning put it on the rack, thinking that it would taste bland.
So I exchanged some seasonings from my wallet, actually from the mall.
The children didn’t think too much about it and were surprised when they saw it.
"Sister, what is this? Do you carry this with you all the time?"
Gu Qingning remained calm and said, "My sister sent it to me. It tastes great when grilled with fish."
Since it was sent from home, the child didn’t ask any questions.
There was a gentle breeze, and the air was filled with the faint scent of grass.
Gu Qingning was roasting by the fire, feeling extremely comfortable, and shared the roasted pheasant eggs with several children.
Gu Qingning was concentrating on grilling the fish, and Xiaohua peeled one for Gu Qingning.
"You eat, sister is not that hungry."
Gu Qingning said this, but Xiaohua refused. Tiedan also said, "Sister, please eat. If you don't want to eat, then we won't eat either."
As he said this, he was about to put down the roasted pheasant eggs. The other children were reluctant to do so, but they still put it down with gritted teeth.
Gu Qingning chuckled, took the peeled flower, and ate it in one bite. It tasted pretty good.
When the others saw her eating, they also started eating, but they took small bites and were reluctant to finish it all.
After the sweet potatoes were roasted and the fish were cooked, Xiaohua gave the sweet potatoes to Gu Qingning, and the other little ones also divided out their rations.
Gu Qingning knew that if she didn't eat it, they wouldn't move either, so they all ate it too.
