034 Hunting
The wild jungle is inaccessible to humans and there are countless birds and animals of all kinds.
The reason why Zhao Hao proposed to hunt something to improve the food for A Yun and A Yue was naturally because there were many birds and animals that evaded them along the way. If he hadn't carried a big bamboo bag on his back, he would have been there early.
I have hunted a lot of prey.
Now that he had put down all his luggage and felt relaxed, could he still be unable to hunt anything?
He held a javelin and carefully sneaked beside the stream without making any sound. At the same time, he also used the surrounding weeds, shrubs, large trees and small trees to hide his figure, as if he had disappeared into the jungle.
Usually, if you don't look carefully, you can't even see him.
He sneaked like this for a while, and finally, a bright color faintly appeared in the bushes in front of him.
It's a pheasant!
He calmly raised the javelin in his hand, raised it slightly backward, and then threw the javelin with great force.
With a "swish" sound, chicken feathers suddenly flew in the bushes. A plump pheasant was stared at the ground by a javelin. It struggled feebly for a few times and soon died.
Zhao Hao picked up the javelin and weighed it. It weighed about four to five kilograms. After removing the internal organs, there were about three or four kilograms of meat left.
If they were all ordinary people, this wild pheasant would be enough to make a big meal. However, they were not ordinary people. Their physiques were far superior to ordinary people, and their appetites were naturally larger than ordinary people. A single wild pheasant would not be full at all.
He shook his head slightly, took off the pheasant and tied it to his waist, then took out the magic weapon and whittled the front of the javelin again, then bent down and lowered his head, entering the stealth state again.
There are no tribes living near this stream. There are still quite a lot of birds and animals. Zhao Hao encountered quite a few while sneaking there. However, they were mostly hares, rats and the like. There was not a lot of meat and the taste was not good.
How good, so he didn't take any action and just let it go.
After sneaking for about ten minutes, he finally saw a large white-gray figure.
It's a goat!
This goat is a good thing. Not only is the meat tender, but the fur can also be used for clothes and blankets. There’s nothing much to say about it. It’s time to hunt!
He directly raised the javelin in his right hand, aimed it at the goat's neck, and threw it with a swish.
At this moment, his physical strength reached a terrifying 4,000 kilograms, and the javelin he threw was like lightning. Before the goat could react, he was shot through the throat and slammed to the ground!
Zhao Hao stepped forward and pulled out the javelin, picked up a leg of lamb and weighed it. The goat probably weighed more than a hundred kilograms, and it would definitely be too much to eat in one meal. It would take several days to finish.
This meat was enough, but he did not turn around immediately.
His goal is to improve the food for Ayun and Ayue. Meat alone is definitely not enough. He also has to find some condiments and even cooking ingredients.
Wild ginger and wild onions were essential, and he even found a few wild pepper trees among a bunch of bushes.
This wild peppercorn is a good thing. Not only can it remove the smell, but its branches and leaves can also prevent mosquito bites. He just tore up several wild pepper trees.
This was not enough for him. Finally, he ran to a small bamboo forest within sight and cut down a thigh-thick bamboo. He took a length of more than two meters, and then he carried the bamboo and the goat.
, and walked back with a lot of condiments.
At this moment, Ayun and Ayue were like virtuous little wives, carefully making the bed.
They first spread the hay they pulled out evenly on the ground, layer after layer, until the ground in the entire corner was completely covered without any soil exposed. Then they took out the precious saber-toothed tiger skin from the bamboo house.
Carefully spread on top.
Zhao Hao did not intend to give this saber-toothed tiger skin to his future father-in-law. They brought it as a blanket. After all, the temperature was too low at night and it was impossible to keep warm even lying on hay. The only way to keep warm was to lie on the tiger skin.
.
The two of them had just finished their work and were about to take out some dried smoked fish to bake and wait for Zhao Hao to come back to eat together, but Zhao Hao came in just at this moment.
Seeing that he didn't have anything in his hand, Ayun couldn't help but joked: "What's wrong, our leader actually misses something?"
Zhao Hao smiled and stepped forward, pinched his little face, and said dotingly: "I already told you to hunt delicious food for you, how could I miss it? I just hunted a pheasant and a goat, and I haven't processed them yet.
, so I didn’t bring it in. If any of you are free, please help wash the wild ginger and wild onions, and I’ll deal with the wild pheasants and goats.”
Not only are there pheasants but also goats!
When Ayun heard this, her mouth was almost watering. This winter, she was really tired of eating smoked fish as her staple food. The dried meat smoked by saber-toothed tigers actually didn't taste very good. She had long wanted to eat some.
Fresh meat is served.
As soon as Zhao Hao said this, she stood up and ran out with excitement on her face. Seeing this, Ah Yue quickly followed her out.
Ayun ran out of the tree house and saw a fat goat lying on the ground. She couldn't help but said excitedly: "That's great, I haven't eaten goat meat for a long time."
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, then picked up the goats and pheasants on the ground and walked towards a thigh-thick crooked-necked tree next to the stream.
Naturally, it is easier to hang the prey for skinning and other tasks. Unless there is no way to hang it like the wild boar king and saber-toothed tiger, it will be directly placed on the ground for processing.
Zhao Hao handled the prey very quickly. In less than half an hour, he had broken down the fat goat into sheepskin, mutton, ribs, broken bones and mutton legs. He also skinned the wild pheasant.
Slip autumn.
Next, he was not in a hurry to go into the house to roast the lamb, because the sheepskin still had to be processed.
If this thing needs to be dried in the sun, it will take at least a day or two. They are still on the road at the moment, so naturally they cannot stop to dry the sheepskin, so he plans to put it next to a bonfire to dry it.
This sheepskin cannot be roasted directly. You have to make a frame to stretch it out and tie it firmly. Otherwise, it will shrink into a ball while roasting, and you will not be able to make clothing at all.
Use as a blanket.
Zhao Hao directly took out the magic weapon, cut three branches as thick as his arm, and pulled a few vines to make a simple tripod. He stretched the sheepskin flatly and tied it to it. He also prepared some barbecue brackets and wooden skewers.
After the mutton was roughly dressed, the tripod, barbecue stand, meat skewers, etc. were moved into the tree house one by one and placed next to the bonfire.
Then, he found a few more vines, tied the lamb legs and chops, hung them directly on the top of the bonfire, and let them smoke slowly.
I have been busy for a while, and it is almost getting dark. If I don’t start making food, I will probably have to eat in the dark.
He hurriedly found a few stones of different sizes, washed them and put them next to the campfire for later use. He also cut a tree stump thicker than his thigh and placed it next to the campfire for later use. Then he went out to pick up the cut tree stump.
Bamboo, walk to the stream.
