Chapter 869 Spending the Night on the Snow Mountain
On the way back, Bai Song clearly lost his previous enthusiasm for hunting.
Even seeing a pheasant startled out on the road didn't interest them much.
He looked back every now and then, and all along the way, he kept telling people to hurry up and go faster.
Not long after they went outside, they encountered soldiers searching from another direction.
The soldiers saw Bai Song walking ahead and excitedly ran over.
After inquiring, they learned that it was Lu Qingqing and her companion who had saved their leader, and they thanked them profusely once again.
The two sides exchanged a few words, and then it got a little dark.
After inquiring, Bai Song learned that there was a sheltered hillside halfway up the mountain.
They immediately decided to spend the night there.
They needed to get there as soon as possible before dark to set up camp and get some rest for the night.
On the way up to the mountainside, we encountered several more groups.
They sent a message to each other, calling back the soldiers who were still searching outside.
Thus, the hundred or so people finally gathered halfway up the mountain.
As the sky gradually darkened, the group didn't even have time to share their experiences.
They simply put all the game they had hunted together.
Bai Song stood beside the prey, glancing at the pheasants and rabbits that Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing had brought.
Then look at the prey on your side, which clearly has more of them.
Although I felt bad about the cost of the meat, I remembered the promise I had made.
He gritted his teeth, picked out some of the prey, and threw them over to Lu Qingqing.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang only picked a few pheasants.
As for the remaining rabbits, they were all left to Bai Song.
Just kidding, there's still a huge pile of rabbit meat in the space that hasn't been eaten yet.
To be honest, they've been eating this for so long that they're getting a little tired of it.
Bai Song knew nothing of this; he only thought that Lu Qingqing and the other person were even righteous.
At this moment, his mouth was stretched almost to the back of his ears.
He made a few perfunctory polite remarks, and seeing that Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang really didn't want them, he immediately picked out the fat rabbits and took them away.
When picking them out, the rabbit that Lu Qingqing kept in her space was noticeably heavy.
He secretly wondered what good food was on the mountain that could have made these rabbits so fat.
When I have time, I'll talk to my men about it.
Tell them to keep an eye on things when they go back into the mountains.
If there's food, that's another windfall!
However, that's a story for later.
Now these chubby rabbits are all going to end up in their brothers' bellies.
Seeing Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang leave with the pheasants, Bai Song happily made arrangements.
Some soldiers were responsible for setting up tents, while others were responsible for gathering firewood.
The remaining small group was processing the game and preparing dinner.
To be honest, a team of about a hundred people isn't that big.
However, when actually spending the night outdoors, you need quite a bit of firewood.
Especially now, with the mountains blocked by heavy snow.
Soldiers usually had to go to leeward slopes or valleys to find firewood.
The wind will blow dead branches and broken logs there.
In addition, places like under trees are also good for obtaining firewood.
However, because of the snow.
Most of the branches we collected were still damp.
If you want to use them, you can only pile them up next to a fire and dry them with the help of the flames.
While the soldiers were busy, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang had already cleared the snow from the rest area.
The spot they chose to rest was sheltered from the wind, and the snow on the ground wasn't too thick.
With the addition of the snowplow that Old Zhuang had equipped, the clearing process was even faster.
After clearing the snow off the ground, the two quickly set up the tent.
The two then divided the work, with Qin Lang taking charge of processing the hunted prey.
Lu Qingqing went to look for firewood nearby.
Of course, she was much faster at 'finding' things than others.
He went for a walk outside and came back carrying a small bundle of firewood.
The firewood was only used to ignite the coal.
Yes, in the large backpacks that Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue prepared for the two of them, each of them also carried a small bag of coal.
These two bags of coal were enough for them to boil water and cook.
The long period of fleeing famine gave the two of them rich experience in wilderness survival, making them extremely efficient at their work.
Therefore, when Bai Song came out of the tent, he smelled the aroma of chicken soup.
In the afternoon, Lu Qingqing and another person rescued him.
Bai Song believes that their relationship is not what it used to be.
So, he came running over when he smelled the chicken soup.
"Brother Lu, Brother Qin, this chicken soup you made smells amazing! What did you put in it?"
As she spoke, she moved closer to him.
Lu Qingqing watched as his head was practically touching the pot.
Fearing that his hat would fall into the pot and ruin the soup, they quickly stopped him.
"I added some dried mushrooms that I bought in the north before. These go well with chicken soup and enhance the flavor."
Bai Song, standing nearby, was so engrossed in the smell that he swallowed hard.
"Brother, I haven't had a bite of meat for months."
Not to mention, it's meat that smells so good.
You absolutely must share a bowl of this chicken soup with me.
Don't worry, I'll trade you roast chicken.
One of the brothers in my team owns a family that sells beggar's chicken.
The braised chicken is absolutely delicious!
One bite, and it's so delicious it'll make your tongue melt!
These words whetted Lu Qingqing's appetite.
In modern times, she went with her company to a farmhouse in a mountainous area for team building.
The owner of that farmhouse restaurant uses chickens raised on the mountain, which are then slaughtered and made into beggar's chicken.
The meat from those free-range chickens just tastes different.
At that time, she ate most of the chicken by herself.
I felt better after wandering around the mountain for half an afternoon.
I wonder if the beggar's chicken that Bai Song mentioned will taste better than that.
Lu Qingqing stirred the pot with a spoon and agreed immediately.
"Okay, the chicken soup will be ready in a bit. Just bring your bowl and scoop some out. I'll give you half of this pot of chicken soup."
Upon hearing this, Bai Song clapped his hands with joy.
"Good, good, good, I knew Brother Lu was magnanimous."
"In a little while, I'll have Chen Lao Er roast a few more chickens and send one over separately for you."
After the agreement was reached, Bai Song noticed that his progress was slow, so he went over and started working on it as well.
After everyone left, Qin Lang took out the white flour pancakes that Old Man Zhuang had specially made from his backpack.
These thin, soft pancakes are somewhat similar to the small pancakes used to wrap shredded pork with sweet bean sauce in modern times.
It's the kind of dish that's troublesome to make but very convenient to eat.
The cookies were still soft even though they had cooled down completely when they were taken out.
