Hunting, farming and raising a husband

Chapter 97 Look, flying chicken

From the hut at the foot of the mountain, smoke rose from the kitchen, a rough broken gong suddenly sounded, and the smoke stagnated and then slowly drifted away.

"Stop barking, stop barking." Ye Lingdong pulled the chubby big black man aside.

"Meow~" Dahei's voice was even more urgent, his golden vertical pupils staring straight at the big cock in Ye Lingdong's hand.

The long legs of the leaf honeysuckle block the big black, and there is a rolling fire in front of it. The plucked rooster was held with tongs and roasted on top. The aroma was rich and the oily oil "crackled" along with the orange flames.

"Meow!"

The firelight illuminated his face, and the hot breath made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Ye Lingdong tilted his head slightly and changed the position of his feet to press on Dahei's back. "I know you want it, but I haven't cooked it yet, Renren."

"Meow!"

"No." Leaf Lonicera refused and communicated with it one after another.

Turning the chicken over with its feet, Ye Lingdong raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Originally, when they came back in the afternoon, the couple decided to go to the foot of the mountain to pull grass first, and they could pull as much grass as they could while the sun was going down.

But before the two of them got home, something like this happened.

I was walking to the chicken coop on the slope, when suddenly, a bright-colored big bird flew over my head. Like a sharp arrow, it passed through the dense bushes on the slope and hit the tree trunks by the river.

A violent crash echoed on the river bank for an instant, and with another bang, white water splashed, and the big bird fell into the river.

Ye Lingdong and his group of six people stared blankly at the scene in front of them.

Ye Lingdong turned his neck stiffly and looked at Cheng Langyu. "Ms. sir?"

Cheng Langyu raised his hand, his thumb and index finger separated and stuck on the back of Ye Lonicera's neck. "Well, husband, do you want to eat meat?"

Ye Lingdong blinked his almond-shaped eyes, and the man's rough fingertips pressed against his throat and felt itchy.

He shrank his neck slightly, took a few steps closer to the river bank, and leaned forward to look at the colorful wings that rose and fell with the water flow.

What is this called?

Free food delivered to your door?

Cheng Baoer put his hands on his waist and raised his belly: "If you don't eat, you won't eat for free."

"Then you have to help clean up." Cheng Langyu dropped this sentence, hooked the person a little inside the belt, and then opened the fence and went down.

Although there are many pheasants in the mountains, Honeysuckle has never had food delivered directly to the door without having to do anything.

This feeling...

A smile slowly appeared on Ye Lonicera's jade-like cheeks. "It's really good."

However, Ye Lingdong hugged Xiao Yuanqing, who was handed over by Cheng Langyu. "But, how are we going to eat? Braised in braised sauce, stewed in soup?"

Cheng Shao stood behind and covered his mouth and snickered. Before the meat arrived, my sister-in-law was thinking about how to eat it.

After Ye Lingdong finished speaking, Qi Jiu said seriously: "I'm afraid the braised pork is not enough, it doesn't look big." "

Then let's make soup, this is more."

After a few claps, the four of them, together with a sleeping Zaizai, kissed each other. Leaning closely in front of the stone platform.

Cheng Langyu pulled over the tree trunk next to him and bent it, and slowly approached the big bird with floating feathers. With a slight lift, the big bird burst out of the water, and the water droplets it brought up drew several wonderful arcs.

The four people subconsciously dodged and then all lay back together.

He stepped on his feet and took a look. The bird landed on Cheng Langyu's hand.

Before Ye Lonicera had time to see what kind of thing was in Cheng Langyu's hand, the grass on the other side suddenly shook, and something like a black sesame ball was revealed. It shook a few times, and then revealed a poke of gray hair.

"Ouch~"

"Big Hui!" Cheng Baoer clapped his hands excitedly.

"The wolf is back." Ye Lonicera waved to the big wolf opposite. "Big Gray, come here."

Hearing Ye Lonicera's voice, Big Gray's turquoise eyes lit up, and he swung his tongue and jumped a few times from the single-plank bridge above to Ye Lingdong's side. " Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"

"Look at that, there are thorns all over the body. They need to be cleaned again."

Da Hui tilted his head: "Ouch~"

Seeing that Da Hui still wanted to jump on him, Ye Rendong hugged Cheng Yuanqing's Zaizai behind, but he was too slow to make it in time. Get out of the way.

Suddenly, I saw Da Hui being grabbed by the neck.

Looking along the big hands with blue veins, Cheng Langyu lowered his eyes, his soft eyes filled with intoxicating concern.

Especially beautiful.

"Ms. sir." Ye Lingdong stepped forward and looked at the bird in his hand.

Cheng Langyu squatted down and patted the wolf's head, hooked Ye Lingdong's waist and turned around: "Let's go back and kill the chicken."

Ye Lingdong: "Is it a pheasant?"

Several children followed, looking up curiously and looking at the dripping chicken. A ball of water.

Cheng Langyu said: "Yes, a pheasant."

The pheasant is not big, it only weighs one to two pounds. Cheng Langyu pinched his neck and picked it up lightly.

Ye Lingdong changed the position of Cheng Yuanqing's little Zaizai, who had woken up, and the father and son got together to observe the thing.

It looks like a chicken or a bird. Except for a few long, bright and bright feathers on the tail, the rest of the feathers are brown-gray. Even if it falls into the water, it cannot hide the gorgeousness of its tail feathers.

Ye Lonicera couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Slippery, half-arm-long tail feathers hang down below. Especially at the tip, it looks like there are a variety of colors mixed in, red, yellow, and green.

"It's a pity, it's so beautiful."

"Mr. sir, if I raise this, will anyone want it?" Ye Lingdong suddenly asked.

Cheng Langyu: "Not necessarily. If you don't have a few taels of meat, you can't eat much meat."

There are not many people in the town who can afford this kind of food all year round. Besides, people nowadays like to eat fat meat, so raising it is worse than raising domestic chickens. Otherwise it won't be worthwhile.

"However, it seems that people further south like the feathers on their bodies."

Ye Lingdong agreed. "It's really good-looking."

Cheng Langyu said, "I'll keep it for you."

While he was talking, the family came in. The courtyard door was gently closed.

Ye Lingdong watched Da Hui running back and forth in the yard having fun, then lowered his head and looked into his little brother's round eyes. Ye Lingdong found a stool to sit down, picked up the little Zaizai and stood on his lap.

Her little feet were wrapped in soft tiger-toe shoes, and she giggled, waving her hands in coordination with her chubby legs bending down.

"You feel more energetic when you wake up, little darling."

"Aww!"

"Aww~" Big Gray's eyes lit up and he quickly ran to Ye Lonicera.

"Aww!" Cheng Yuanqing pouted his butt, and opened and closed his paws to scratch the fur on Big Gray's back.

The leaf honeysuckle is barely able to withstand his cocoon. "Little naughty one."

Da Hui calmed down and stood aside to look at the two of them, then he bent his front legs and lay down in front of Ye Lonicera.

"Ouch!"

Ye Rendong couldn't understand what he was shouting, but his little eyes fell on Da Hui. Ye Lingdong lifted the man up in the air by his creaking nest and lowered him a little so that his little feet were touching Da Hui's body.

Cheng Yuanqing's Zaizai giggled instantly.

"You like it so much?"

Ye Lonicera nudged him, and he smiled. The little mouth was open, revealing the red gums and a few millet teeth inside.

"Giggle..."

The little baby was teased for a while. Ye Lingdong panted a little, put the person on his lap again, wrapped his arms around his armpits and hugged the little Zai Zai tightly.

"Take a rest, daddy is tired."

Ye Lingdong half-closed his eyelids and casually glanced at the yard. I saw my husband entering the kitchen.

That's right, the pheasants haven't been taken care of yet.

But how could this chicken be so stupid that he couldn't even avoid the tree?

Looking down, he saw that Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer were equally confused. Ye Lingdong rested his chin on the little Zaizai's soft hair. He lazily asked, "Ms. sir, why did this pheasant hit the tree?"

Cheng Langyu came out, holding the chicken and shaking the water. "I don't want to live anymore."

"Really?"

Cheng Langyu chuckled, put the things in the yard, and squatted down. "Qi Jiu, tell me? What's the reason?"

Qi Jiu happened to walk up to Ye Lingdong and stretched out his hand to hug Cheng Yuanqing.

"What's the reason? I'm blind."

Ye Lingdong bent down and gently put the little Zaizai on. Then I heard Cheng Baoer say: "No! I must have hit the tree for fun, but I got too strong and hit him to death." "

I smashed the walnuts with my hands! If I use too much force, it will hurt. If you use the most force, your hands will definitely bleed." Cheng Baoer opened his arms and made exaggerated gestures in the air.

With those smart facial features, she looks cute.

Honeysuckle slowly squints its eyes like a cat basking in the sun. With a nasal voice: "What do you think, brother Shao?"

Cheng Shao looked at Qi Jiu and then at Cheng Baoer. The delicate nose wrinkled: "Building a house?"

"Building a house requires wood!"

Ye Lingdong fluttered his long eyelashes and laughed dumbly. Unexpectedly, this little guy was still thinking about building a house.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to light the fire, let's stew it and eat it."

Cheng Langyu was grabbing the chicken's neck and looking at it, and suddenly said: "Bring out a bowl and add some salt." Cheng Baoer immediately responded

: "Okay!"

Shao looked around and saw that there was nothing he could do, so he walked towards the backyard. He heard Xiao Hei in the backyard calling again. Must be hungry.

Qi Jiu sighed softly: "Our pigs are so fat."

Ye Lingdong took out the bowl and said, "It's okay, I'll eat it when I'm fat. I haven't even finished last year's bacon yet."

Qi Jiu hugged him Cheng Yuanqing sat opposite Cheng Langyu. Look at his big hands pulling off the fine hair on the chicken's neck and pointing it at the bowl with salt.

Touch the chicken's neck with a sharp kitchen knife. Bright red blood spurted out and sprinkled some on the ground.

Qi Jiu picked up the child and said disgustedly: "Hey, Dirty, let's go play somewhere else."

Cheng Langyu looked at the child's disgusted look, and without changing his expression, he pointed the opening at the porcelain bowl.

The bright red blood was thick and fell into the bowl.

In the end, there were only a few drops of blood dripping down. Cheng Langyu loosened the cockscomb and threw it into the basin.

"Husband, I'm going to go out and weed first."

Ye Lingdong saw Cheng Langyu put the pot on the stove against the light.

"Okay." He said.

"Meow~"

As soon as the person left, the cat started meowing after smelling the fishy smell.

Ye Lingdong watched Dahei dig out of the firewood pile and spin around his calf with his tail raised.

One soft cry after another. "Meow~"

It is delicate and waxy, like a little milk cat that has not grown up.

"Your nose is really smart." Ye Lingdong took the time to nod the cat's head.

"Meow ow ow ow~"

Dahei said louder and louder, looking at the basin on the stove and wandering around.

So, while the honeysuckle leaves were boiling water and scalding the chicken feathers, the cat was meowing nearby. After the hair was plucked and roasted, Dahei started to cry a little impatiently and move his paws.

Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer came out of the backyard and saw the cat causing trouble.

Two people stepped forward, one holding the cat's tail, and the other holding the back of Dahei's neck with both hands.

Cheng Baoer imitated Tan Chunliu's lecturing tone, pointing and nagging: "Look at Dahui, are you as greedy as you?"

She pinched her waist with one hand, and her belly was straight under her clothes. "Really, Dahui."

Dahui lay on the side and raised his head: "Hey~"

Ye Lingdong: Look at Dahui's saliva making the ground wet.

It's hard to take care of the internal organs after breaking open the chicken belly, so we might as well throw it to a wolf and a cat.

Apart from the hair and internal organs, there was only a little bit left of the chicken. The honeysuckle leaf shook its head and went home to get it.

"Don't leave the yard, you know?" Ye Lingdong warned the doll outside.

"I know, sister-in-law."

The child was playing in the yard obediently, letting the rabbit out for a walk from time to time. Ye Ling Dong chopped the chicken into pieces in the house.

The stewed chicken is just mixed with the mushrooms picked in spring, and the stewed taste is definitely fresh and fragrant.

He soaked the mushrooms and lit the fire again.

Add chicken oil to the pan, stir-fry for a while and then add the chicken. As the heat from the bottom of the pot spreads to the chicken, the meat is fragrant. Fry the chicken until golden brown and shiny on the surface.

Add more water and bring to a boil, then place it in a crock pot and simmer over low heat.

Ye Lonicera closed the lid of the black earthen pot and was about to go outside to pull a garlic. Da Hui, who was guarding the door, suddenly ran towards the door and howled non-stop.

Ye Lingdong was startled and quickly stepped forward to pull the children and push them into the house.

"Cheng Langyu!" A strong voice came in, and Ye Rendong recognized the voice of Master Ajiu.

Tu Fei: "Ah Jiu, open the door, I'm back!"

Ye Rendong saw Qi Jiu coming over and confirmed that he was someone he knew.

Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly heard his husband's voice. "Who is this?"

Tu Fei outside the door saw Cheng Langyu coming from behind and threw the person on his back to the ground like a treasure.

Ye Lonicera only heard heavy sounds, followed by a cry of pain.

Ye Lingdong hurriedly opened the door and didn't notice the big gray beside him jumping out instantly. Catch the bloody man on the ground in one go.

"Hey! Big Gray!" Ye Lingdong stepped out of the threshold. Just as he was about to chase after him, Cheng Langyu hugged him and covered his eyes.

"Big Hui! Let go!" Cheng Langyu said in a deep voice.

When the children saw that Cheng Langyu was there, they dared to lean out.

"Ms. Gong, please let go and let me take a

look." Cheng Langyu and Da Hui looked at each other, and did not let go of Ye Lonicera until Da Hui relaxed.

"Uuwuwu!" Da Hui lowered his body and bared his teeth at the man on the ground.

"Where did this person come from?" Cheng Langyu asked.

Tu Fei: "Ah Jiu said he would catch him, so he caught him."

Ye Rendong looked at Qi Jiu in confusion. "Ajiu? What's going on?"

Qi Jiu hugged the little boy with an innocent look on his face. "He owes me money, more than half of the warehouse's silver."

Ye Rendong stood beside Cheng Langyu and looked at the man on the ground. It is round and round, like the little black one raised in my backyard. There is a gold abacus on the waist. It looks small and exquisite and is worth a lot of money.

You don't have to take people back to your home to collect debts, right?

"Don't leave it in my house." Cheng Langyu stared at the man on the ground, then led Ye Lingdong in. Following them were Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer who looked puzzled.

Passing by Qi Jiu, Ye Lingdong bent down and took Cheng Yuanqing's little Zaizai back. "Then Ah Jiu will settle his own affairs first, and then come back for dinner."

Tu Fei watched several people leave one after another, and he chuckled, holding the huge package on the ground, swaying, and wanted to follow him through the door.

"Don't leave yet." Qi Jiu raised his hand to stop Tu Fei from entering.

"Ajiu, I haven't eaten yet." A small force was applied just above the knee.

Tu Fei still stopped and looked at Qi Jiu in confusion. In order to catch this man, he left without eating. He can smell the aroma of chicken, why don't you let him eat?

"You eat while we talk." Qi Jiu closed the door and sat down with his back against the door.

Big Hui was still standing guard outside, and his hair was almost fried. The gray-green pupils were shining coldly, the skin on the face was wrinkled, and the canine teeth were exposed. The ferocity of the gray wolf is clearly visible.

"Let me ask you, have you investigated this person's lair clearly?" Qi Jiu's face was deep, staring at the person lying on the ground like a corpse.

Tu Fei was weak and held his stomach: "I worked as a steward in the Lu family village. Now I have resigned and returned to the town to become a rich man." "

Lu family? Which Lu family?"

"Which Lu family is there? The county magistrate's family."

Qi Jiu frowned: "How could it be the Lu family?"

Tu Fei hesitated: "How could it not be."

"I'm hungry, Ah Jiu."

Qi Jiu was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't hear much.

After seeing Yan Mu at his ancestral home today, seeing him mention money, Qi Jiu thought of the person who had cheated him in his previous life.

His nominal brother.

The old man is dead, but he has a clear plan for that man's future. He even removed all his mother's things and his grandfather's things. To ensure that his precious son has enough food and clothing.

If he hadn't been thinking about avenging his father, how could he not have seen his younger brother, who was surrounded by people in front of him and behind him, stepping on his head and getting promoted to a noble rank before he died?

A sinister look flashed in Qi Jiu's eyes.

Yes, I blame myself for being so merciful after coming out and not killing the person.

However, they are still young now, and he has plenty of time to find him and deal with him.

Now...

Qi Jiu looked at the man pretending to be dead on the ground. His smile grew wider.

The calf kicked the person, and Big Hui also bared his teeth.

Tu Fei held his stomach and squatted aside looking at Qi Jiu sadly. "I'm hungry, Ah Jiu."

"Didn't I give you some money? Didn't I just tell you to eat first? Isn't your bag full of steamed buns?" Qi Jiu hated the iron.

"I'll bring it back to eat with you." After saying that, Tu Fei swallowed like a big gray.

"Eat as you are told, no matter how hard it is, you are still not a man!" Qi Jiu ignored him and reached out to take off the thing from the neck of the corpse lying on the ground.

It was a silver lock, like the kind given to me by my elders when I was born.

Qi Jiu pressed his little hand on the button on the back in disgust. With a slight movement, the delicate silver lock opened, revealing what was inside.

Qi Jiu's eyes deepened. There was a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.

He put the things away and clicked the lock again.

"Okay, let's tie this man up first, and then throw him into the mountains when we have time." Qi Jiu stood up, put his little hands behind his back, and slowly pushed the door open and went in.

Tu Fei: ...No need to tie him up, he can't run away even if his leg is broken.

Tu Fei easily picked up the bun and stuffed it into the door. Only the man on the ground was left, following him and looking at him eagerly.

Qi Jiu was really reserved and dignified as a young master, but he didn't expect that the person behind him would surpass him in two big steps.

Qi Jiu: "Where is the person you kidnapped?"

Tu Fei's running steps were pulled back by a word. "No need to tie him up. He definitely can't run away."

He said, and moved towards the kitchen with unsteady steps.

"Tie him up!"

Tu Fei could only angrily but cherishingly push the baggage to Qi Jiu.

Qi Jiu felt like a mountain was pressing down on him. In an instant, all he could see outside was two little legs holding a big gray bundle. There is still some white on the highest tip, like the snow on Yunshan Mountain.

Qi Jiu stood dumbly: "Really..."

Tu Fei picked up the person outside. "That's true!"

Da Hui said: "Wow!"

The author has something to say:

Say no to wild game~

But this kind of pheasant that bumps into the door does exist.
