The chestnut tree is a good tree!
There were still some chestnuts on it, and Fang Xiaoyue was not polite. She went up to the tree and knocked down all the chestnuts with a hoe, and then squatted on the ground to pick them up for a while.
In order to rush for time, the basket he made was not too big, so in a short time, the medicinal materials, potatoes, chestnuts, etc. made the basket a little full.
He calculated that if he went back today, he should be able to eat enough for dinner.
Therefore, even though it was still early, Fang Xiaoyue had no intention of continuing.
After all, it would be a bit tiring to continue walking with just a hoe and his current physical strength.
But when he turned around, he saw a black bear staggering over not far away.
I go!
If he were in the previous plane or with a higher level of integration, he wouldn't be worried if he saw this black bear.
But now, his fusion degree is too low and his strength cannot compete with the opponent, so he is at a disadvantage.
So he turned around and walked away, even though the direction he was walking in made him confused.
Fortunately, the black bear did not catch up.
This run made him a little lost.
The only good thing was that when he crossed a ravine, he saw something moving in the grass. When he got closer, he saw a hare emerge and run away quickly.
Without any hesitation, he immediately threw the hoe in his hand.
There was a soft sound, and the hare was hit on the head by the hoe, and immediately fell to the ground. When he came closer, he twitched and died.
This is good.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't expect that she would knock down the rabbit by throwing it casually, and happily picked up the hare and threw it into the basket.
With this hare, today's dinner is complete!
But soon after, he became a little unhappy.
Although Cui Shangui had been to Xiaomu Mountain to dig herbs before, he was too weak to go far.
Fortunately now, after he caught the hare, he really couldn't find his way back.
What to do? Find it slowly.
This time I found my way around 10 o'clock in the evening.
If he hadn't had Pig Heng, he might not have been able to find his way back for several days.
Fortunately, finally he smelled the scent he left behind and found the mountain pass.
When he returned home in black and white, Cui Xiaoying, who was guarding the house, almost burst into tears. When she saw her father coming back, she didn't care about the smell of sweat on his body and threw herself into his arms, woo woo woo. started sobbing.
"Hey, stop crying. Let's see what daddy caught for you?"
Fang Xiaoyue hurriedly comforted her, took off her back bamboo basket, and took out the hare.
After seeing the hare, Cui Xiaoying's eyes suddenly lit up with tears and runny nose: "Rabbit!!!"
"Yes, rabbit, shall we eat rabbit tonight?"
Fang Xiaoyue asked softly.
"Okay! I'll light the stove!"
At this time, Cui Xiaoying could no longer care about her previous fear. She wiped her nose and tears with her sleeves, turned around, picked up firewood, and went straight to the kitchen.
Fang Xiaoyue was skinning the hare in the water tank and cleaning some of the dug angelica, polygonatum, taro and so on.
After cutting the rabbit into pieces and boiling them in boiling water, add them to the pot and mix them with the chopped angelica, polygonatum, and taro and boil them together.
According to Fang Xiaoyue's appetite, the rabbit meat still has to be fried in oil, then add chili peppers, onions, scallions, ginger and garlic, then angelica, polygonatum, taro, and finally add some cumin, so that the taste will be authentic.
But now Cui Shangui's house has nothing, so he can only stew it into a pot.
Fortunately, ginger and garlic are planted behind the house. Use a hoe to dig out some, clean them, cut them into pieces, throw them directly into the pot, and close the lid.
When the smell of meat begins to permeate the kitchen, take out the firewood, reduce the fire intensity, and simmer slowly for half an hour.
When Fang Xiaoyue finally turned off the fire and opened the lid of the pot, Cui Xiaoying, who had been squatting aside to help add firewood, had a string of drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
No way, in fact, even Fang Xiaoyue herself couldn't help drooling.
So delicious!
This mixture of rabbit meat, various medicinal materials, and the scent of ginger and garlic are even more attractive to a guy with a keen sense of smell like Fang Xiaoyue.
Of course, he guessed that he was too hungry.
No way, after walking around in the mountains all afternoon and half the night, how can I not be hungry?
"Let's eat!"
Fang Xiaoyue happily poured the rabbit meat, herbs and soup into bowls, while Cui Xiaoying couldn't wait to carry the bowls carefully to the main room.
The father and daughter sat down and began to feast without saying much.
A non-famous writer once said: When you are hungry, the pleasure of eating delicious food is doubled!
Fang Xiaoyue agreed very much with this.
At the end of the meal, more than half of the pot of rabbit soup was eaten by the two of them, and even the soup at the bottom of the pot was scooped clean.
The father and daughter ate and drank enough, and when they lay in bed and fell asleep, they had smiles on their faces.
Fang Xiaoyue and his daughter are eating and sleeping comfortably now, but their neighbors are a little miserable.
In this era, there were not many recreational activities. Basically, they went to bed when it got dark, and occasionally got up late at night to go to the hut or something.
But something was wrong tonight. When I stumbled out of the latrine, everyone was woken up by the smell of meat.
This time I woke up, it was difficult to fall asleep again.
No, Cui Shangui's neighbors squatted in the yard one by one, cursing and cursing each other for half the night before going back to sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, before the sun had risen, Fang Xiaoyue got up early, went to the yard, and had a boxing session. When he was about to find a place to meditate for a while, he saw Cui Xiaoying peeking behind the door.
"Xiaoying, what are you doing?"
Fang Xiaoyue smiled and waved.
Cui Xiaoying hurried over and threw herself into his arms: "What kind of punch did daddy just hit? It looked so powerful?"
"Xiaoying also wants to box?"
Fang Xiaoyue chuckled, but she had some thoughts in her heart.
To put it bluntly, this main mission is to take good care of Cui Xiaoying and prevent her from being deceived by Huo Zhishan again, and so on.
If Cui Xiaoying starts practicing martial arts from now on, maybe the situation will be different in the future?
Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoyue made up her mind.
"think!"
Cui Xiaoying nodded vigorously, like a dandelion blowing in the wind.
"We'll talk after breakfast."
Fang Xiaoyue then sent Cui Xiaoying to wash her face and mouth, while she went to the kitchen, chopped up a few taros left last night and made a pot of taro soup, and added some Polygonatum japonica.
Although it is not as fragrant as fried dough sticks, soy milk and meat buns when used for breakfast, it is still pretty good in this era.
After having breakfast and resting for a while, Fang Xiaoyue began to teach Cui Xiaoying how to practice martial arts.
Even if his strength has recovered a little now, as a grandmaster with a level of Xingyi Quan as high as level 9, is it not easy to instruct a little girl to practice martial arts?
