It didn't take long to process the prey. I chopped a pheasant into pieces and put it into the pot to cook. There were still some wild mushrooms and chestnuts, which I had never been willing to eat. They made delicious soup from them.
I didn't want to throw away too much, so I only threw in four or five wild mushrooms and eight chestnuts, counting them as I cooked them. Anyway, we had roe deer tonight, so the main purpose of this pot of dish was to drink the soup.
The roe deer was chopped in half, rubbed with seasoning, and roasted over the fire.
Cut off the remaining half of the meat, put it on a skewer, roast it over charcoal fire, and then put it in a bag to keep as a snack on the road.
Chop the bones into pieces and keep them.
When the straw shed for sleeping was built, Zhou Guo's meat was roasted, and the soup was cooked, "Uncle, come and eat."
Zhou Da Cang washed his hands, sat down, smelled the delicious meat, and sighed: "Poor thing, we haven't had a good meal for three or four days. We finally got to the city and thought we could get some food, but in the end we couldn't get in. Will we have no food to eat and can only eat meat every day?"
Zhou Guo laughed and said, "It's not good to eat meat every day. In the past, I couldn't eat meat for a year or two. At that time, didn't I make a wish every day that I must eat meat every meal in the future?"
Zhou Dacang: "I made a wish to eat meat every meal. If I didn't make a wish, it would be uncomfortable to eat only meat every meal."
Zhou Guo nodded repeatedly and sighed, "I want to eat the radish tops at home, as well as the pakchoi. I think the yongcai can be eaten too. If the cucumber and long beans can grow, they should be edible in ten days or half a month."
Zhou Dacang said: "At this time, even if it can grow out, it is estimated that it will not grow well."
Zhou Guo took out a bowl, filled it with soup and handed it to Zhou Dacang, then filled himself a bowl. The two of them drank the soup while cutting the roasted roe deer meat.
A sip of soup and a bite of meat, it tastes very delicious.
They didn't eat well in the past few days. To be more precise, neither of them was full. Today's meal was the largest amount of food they had in the past few days.
In order to have a good meal, Zhou Guo sprinkled seasonings all over the food. He had been sparing with them before, but today he was extravagant.
"Yeah, it's different with more ingredients. It tastes much better. I feel like it can catch up with the old man's." Zhou Dacang ate the roasted roe deer meat and praised it, "It's so delicious."
Zhou Guo also nodded while eating, but he said, "It's still not as good as Master's. Maybe we are too hungry. We haven't had a full meal in a few days. In addition, the food we had before was all watery soup. After eating this way, it tastes okay."
Zhou Dacang nodded but said nothing, his mouth was busy.
The two of them ate voraciously, finishing half of the roasted roe deer meat and the whole pot of soup with the meat.
Zhou Guo touched his stomach and felt like crying with happiness, "It feels so good to be full."
She hasn't been hungry in a long time.
Zhou Dacang sighed with his belly sticking out. "When my family was so poor that we only had a hundred coins left, we didn't have enough to eat every day. Now that we have money, we still can't eat enough. Although we are still hungry, the feeling is still different."
Zhou Guo didn't say anything. How could the feeling of having money be the same as having no money?
Before going to bed, she added water to the clay pot again, threw in the chopped bones, and placed it a little further away from the fire so that she could eat it in the morning with the remaining warmth.
The two of them are now afraid to sleep soundly, and each of them has it every night.
It was Zhou Guo's turn tonight. He woke up from time to time in a daze to add firewood.
When she got up to practice the next day, she roasted the remaining three chickens. She had killed four chickens the night before, but only cooked one.
When I opened the lid of the earthenware pot, I saw that the bones had fallen off and were soft and rotten, and there was a layer of oil floating on the soup. I sprinkled some salt and some dried shrimp powder into it. I tasted a little and the flavor was already coming out.
If you practice while roasting the chicken, it is inevitable that the skin will become burnt.
For breakfast, each of them held a chicken and ate it. There was a large bowl of soup at their feet. They took a few bites of chicken and a big sip of soup.
Zhou Dacang was full after eating just one chicken in the morning. Zhou Guo asked him twice before he happily picked up the remaining chicken and started eating it.
The amount of food in the morning is always smaller than that at noon and in the evening, not to mention there is a pot of bone stew.
They were all eaten up by the two of them.
Zhou Guo poured the leftovers into a bamboo tube and saved them for lunch. After all, it couldn't be wasted, and it took some effort to catch roe deer in the mountains.
The dried meat from last night was put into a cloth bag, and half a roe deer was also good. Zhou Guo smiled and said, "This should be enough to eat for three or four days."
Zhou Dacang said: "More than that, if we save a little, we can eat for seven or eight days."
"Seven or eight days..." Zhou Guo glanced at the dried meat in the bag and pouted, "You can only eat two or three pieces a day?"
Zhou Dacang said: "Two or three are not enough. I don't expect this to fill my stomach. It's enough to satisfy my craving."
At this point he sighed, "We still have to find a way to get some dry food."
Zhou Guo shook his head. "It doesn't matter if it's not dry food. Even if it's some rice, some black flour or white flour, we have our own pot anyway, can't we cook it ourselves?"
She thought for a moment, stood up, waved her hand, and said proudly, "Let's get on the horses and go. We'll go to the next county, or even the next town. I don't believe they can still impose martial law in the village or town."
Zhou Dacang hesitated, "Will they post notices in the county town or the prefectural city? Isn't there a wanted order? I heard that if they want to arrest a criminal, they will draw a portrait of the person and post it at the gates of each city. In the county town or the prefectural city, we can't escape no matter where we go."
"No way." Zhou Guo frowned, trying to recall the scene of that day, "We just had a quick encounter, and there were so many people behind us. We rode our horses to the side of the road to avoid them, with our horses' butts facing them. Not many of them had seen our faces."
He looked down at himself and said, "Hey, I'm still wearing this new outfit. I can't wear this anymore. I have to change that outfit back. We also have to change our faces. Paint them darker and look older."
Zhou Dacang said nothing.
The two of them changed their clothes.
Zhou Guo worked on his face for a while, and after half an hour, he was done.
Zhou Dacang couldn't see what his face looked like, so he asked curiously, "What did you do to me?"
Zhou Guo looked around and said, "You're fine. You're just a little darker and yellower, with more wrinkles and spots. Everything else is fine. I can still recognize you."
After taking a look at the whole thing, he added, "Your neck and hands need to be fixed, too. They're too clean, there's not even any mud between your fingers."
Zhou Dacang looked at her clean and white face and said, "You should also tidy up, right? I think it's okay if you don't. It will be so ugly if you put on this. If it gets rubbed off somewhere, your face will be black and white. Wouldn't that attract more attention?"
He reached out and touched his face, and his hands were covered in black ash.
Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "I don't need it."
