Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 462 Hunting
Lu Yange wiped his hands, walked to the door, stood under the eaves and looked out.

"There is a mountain on the opposite side. Send someone to ask General Chen if they have gone hunting in the mountain."

The folks don't have much food in their hands. If they stay here for a longer time, they are afraid that the live animals in the nearby villages will be sold out.

There is nothing to eat in the countryside, and there is always some prey in the mountains.

The group of them has been on the road, and it is not that they did not encounter birds and beasts on the road, but at that time, everyone was in a hurry and didn't care.

Now that I'm free and trapped in this place where the birds don't shit, it's better to find some game and satisfy everyone's hunger.

The people Yun Shu sent quickly returned messages, and General Chen said that he understood that he had already summoned 1000 people to enter the mountain in batches.

In other words, they were going to go in and have a look at the several hills near the small town of Jianwan.

Among the 1000 people, except for the guards who are on shift around the princess, the rest are guarded by Habayashi guards and guards from the princess mansion. A team of 100 people, even if they encounter wild boars and beasts on the mountain, they have knives and guns, they have practiced, and they have no fear at all.

It would be even better if you could meet wild boars and beasts. The pheasant and rabbits in the mountains taste good, but they are too small to fit between their teeth.

If you can catch a few wild boars, tigers, black bears and other big guys, everyone can have a turn to drink broth.

The first five teams set off first, one small team separated from one mountain to another, and the other five teams waited for the people in front to return, and then they went again.

Hearing that his team was at the back, everyone was gearing up anxiously, fearing that the game on the mountain would be killed by the team in front, and it would be their turn to work for nothing.

In the end, Chen Xiaohu had no choice but to allow the remaining five teams to separate from one team to another, and go up the hill from the opposite side of the team in front.

Although they left half an hour earlier than the previous five teams, they only reached halfway up the mountain at the fastest, and some of them just reached the foot of the mountain.

Sending out these people who were so idle that their bones ached, Chen Xiaohu brought two old hens to make soup for Lu Yange.

Yun Juan happily took the old hen, and called Yun Shu over to help.Two chickens, one was killed for stew, the other was tied with a rope and raised for two days before eating.

The two maids who had never touched the spring water with their fingers after entering the princess mansion, now they can kill chickens and fish without changing their faces.

Soon, the smell of old hen soup wafted from the kitchen.

Standing where Lu Yange is, within the range of sight, there are five mountains on the front, back, left, and right sides, the highest of which has not reached the clouds, and the shortest is no more than a dozen floors high.

Through the covered snow, one can still see the lush and green forests on the mountain. Even in winter when the snow is falling, the mountains can be seen to be lush with trees. The mountain is not high, but it is not accessible to ordinary people.

I don't know if these officers and soldiers will give up all the things in the mountain when they enter the mountain. By then, the local people will not know how to scold them.

Lu Yange is not worried at all, they will encounter danger in the mountains.

If they can't even conquer this small hill, they are not worthy to stay in the princess mansion, let alone be called the emperor's personal guards.

Roll out the white flour, kill water with Chinese cabbage, mince pork stuffing, add eggs and stir until it becomes sticky, then pour in the chopped Chinese cabbage and stir evenly, when the stuffing is ready, you can make dumplings.

Yunjuan and Yunshu were two, one was rolling out the dough and the other was making dumplings. Soon, there were rows of white flour dumplings with big belly and round waist neatly lined up on the chopping board.

There are more than 240 dumplings, fifty for General Chen, thirty for the father-in-law, and fifty for the princess and the three of them.Put the rest outside and freeze it, fry it for the princess at night, and steam it in a basket tomorrow.

When Chen Xiaohu came to eat dumplings, the first batch of people who entered the mountain had already returned.

There is indeed game in the mountains, but because it is winter, it is not easy to search for it.The first group of people went out and only killed a dozen pheasants, dug out two rabbit nests, and caught three litters of bamboo rats.

A hundred people can't get enough points for eating by themselves, but everyone is not in a hurry, anyway, there are still a few teams behind, and there will always be a team that will have a big harvest.

In the afternoon, the teams that entered the mountain came back one after another, and the game outside the camp almost piled up into a hill.

A team of pheasants, hares, turtledoves, and wild pigeons broke through the wild boar nests and captured a whole litter of wild boars of two or four sizes.

From the looks of it, they brought the whole family here.

Another team actually dug up more than a dozen snakes.Snake Lu Yange didn't give it away, they peeled the skin and guts themselves, and stewed a pot of snake soup deliciously.It is said that those who went there had a fight over the snake gall, and the winner was entitled to enjoy it.

The 30 or so people in the kitchen were sweating profusely, and Chen Xiaohu transferred another [-] to [-] people to help them.

During this dinner, the smell of meat wafted out for several miles, and there was even a faint smoke from the other side of the mountain, as if looking at something.

On the fifth day, the snow stopped, but the road was not easy to drive.

Early in the morning, Chen Xiaohu sent 500 people out to continue hunting for game in the mountains, but left 500 people behind.

When he came, Lu Yange had just eaten a bowl of millet porridge and a few steamed dumplings.

The steamed dumplings are stuffed with cabbage and pork stuffed yesterday. They taste the same when they are boiled in water at noon, and they have a different taste when they are fried in the evening. Now they are steamed in a basket in the morning and seasoned with cloud rolls, and they are actually not bad.

Lu Yange was very satisfied with the food, and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Yunjuan and Yunshu already felt guilty, and the two muttered to the side to discuss whether they could go to the countryside to see if they could buy fresh vegetables.

Some people go hunting in the mountains, and there is no shortage of meat, but there is still a shortage of vegetables.You can't eat radishes and cabbage every day. If you eat too much, let alone princesses, even their slaves can't eat it.

After Lu Yange finished his breakfast, Yun Juan cleaned up the table and made a pot of tea, and Yun Shu also put the small tea stove beside the table.

This is not only warm, but also hot tea soup will not be cold.

"The brothers who went to the back mountain yesterday came back and said that the mountain behind the town, turn over, and turn over another mountain, it is the mouth of the sea. Standing on the top of the mountain, they can still faintly hear the sound of the rolling waves."

Chen Xiaohu looked at Lu Yange who was sitting in front of the window enjoying the snow, his eyes were darkened, "Yige, I have nothing to do here anyway, I'll take you there to have a look."

Lu Yange withdrew his gaze from the snow scene outside, turned his head and replied, "I'm going to take a look? What are you looking at? The sea?"

It's not that she has never seen the sea.

If she hadn't taken this trip to Lingnan, she would have sailed across the ocean with the big ship she built to a place where no one could find her.

Chen Xiaohu stood up, and took a deep look at Lu Yange: "Didn't you always want to go to sea, to some Guala country, this is very close to Haikou, but it only takes about two hours to climb over two mountains. I Take you to see it, maybe after seeing it, you don’t want to go to sea.”

Lu Yangge looked at Chen Xiaohu and always had a strange feeling in his heart.

They stopped in this small town, and now they want to take her to see the sea.
