While Chen Yun and Yan Lizhou were digging wild vegetables and looking for other prey, Yan Long and Xue Mingzhu also caught some prey on the other side.
Yan Long and Xue Mingzhu had little experience and didn't know what a pregnant animal looked like, but Xue Pingli and Ning Xi knew about it, so they reminded the two little girls.
There were indeed a lot of hares here where they came, and they also let go of several pregnant rabbits. After walking around, they caught about five or six rabbits, which were not very fat.
Of course, Yan Long was also lucky enough to meet a muntjac. It was a juvenile muntjac, weighing about fifty or sixty pounds.
But such a big muntjac also made Yan Long very happy. After hitting this muntjac, Yan Long planned to go back. She had a great time today.
"Sister-in-law—brother—" Yan Long happily greeted his brother and sister-in-law when he saw them, and said to them with a bright smile, "Look, the muntjacs and rabbits I hunted."
Chen Yun looked over and was a little surprised when she saw the muntjac weighing about fifty or sixty pounds. She didn't expect that Yan Long was so lucky to encounter such a big prey.
For example, she met rabbits. She didn't even meet a pheasant. Instead, she met snakes that had come out of hibernation. However, she didn't like to eat snake meat, so she didn't do anything to those snakes.
"You are so awesome. You were able to catch such a big prey. My sister-in-law is at a disadvantage." Chen Xun said with a smile, "Look, my sister-in-law only met two rabbits."
Chen Yun took out the prey she had just hunted. She really only encountered two rabbits that were not pregnant, so she only shot these two.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't rely on prey for food. The village also raises pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, so she has no shortage of meat.
"Are you still going to play?" Chen Yu looked at Yan Long and asked.
"Sister-in-law, shall we have lunch on the mountain?" Yan Long asked with a smile.
She really liked the feeling of being in the wild. It would be troublesome for them to just have a meal on the mountain and rush back to Zhuangzi.
"I don't care." Chen Xun said.
"Then let's have lunch on the mountain." Yan Lizhou said, and he told Ning Dong and the others to find a suitable place to camp, and they had a picnic on the mountain.
Chen Yun handed over the two rabbits in her hands to Ning Xi and the others. They were all professionals in handling prey, but they were much faster and better than her. She had better not cause any trouble.
Chen Xun thought for a while and asked the guard following her to bring over the big bag she had prepared. She took out a few dried lotus leaves and soaked them, preparing to eat them as a beggar rabbit later.
They didn't catch pheasants today, but they did catch a lot of hares, so Chen Xun planned to make a beggar rabbit and eat them.
Of course, Ning Xi and the others had the foresight to bring the pot, so Chen Xun felt that Spicy Rabbit Ding could also be arranged.
"How do you plan to eat the muntjac? Simply roast it or stew it? Or braise it?" Chen Yu looked at Yan Long and asked.
"Let's grill it." Yan Long said, "This muntjac is quite small. It's the time when the meat is tender. It will be more fragrant if grilled."
"Okay." Chen Yun nodded and asked Ning Xi and the others to find smoother and thinner slates to make slate barbecue later.
Brother and sister Xue Mingzhu and Xue Pingli also joined the team. They cleaned up the prey they had killed, and then Xue Pingli chatted with Ning Xi and the others, while Xue Mingzhu chatted with Yan Long and Chen Yu.
"Princess, is there anything I can do to help?" Xue Mingzhu asked as she came over. She also wanted to help, but she didn't dare to do it for a while. How could she be so embarrassed?
"Help?" Chen Yun nodded, then took out a bucket and said to her, "Can you help carry water? Or pick up firewood?"
Xue Mingzhu looked at the bucket in front of her, then looked at Chen Yu's serious expression, and understood whether she was deliberately making things difficult for her, so she could only obediently pick up the bucket and go to the stream to fetch water.
After two rabbits were processed over there, Chen Xun asked Ning Xi to bring them over and clean them. She pricked them with a skewer and then applied seasonings on them. Onion and ginger cooking wine were used to remove the fishy smell, and some Sichuan peppercorns, pepper, and grass fruit powder were added.
, cumin powder, salt and other seasonings, then set aside to marinate for a while.
Even in the wild, staple food must be eaten, so Chen Xun asked Ning Xi and the others to take out a clay pot and cook a pot of porridge. Of course, it was just porridge that looked like porridge, without any taste. The water used to cook the porridge was not soup stock, but it was white porridge.
Just ordinary water.
While the porridge was being cooked, Chen Yun prepared other seasonings, chili peppers, etc., and when the others were almost ready, she asked them to chop the rabbit meat into cubes.
Of course Chen Xun couldn't do it herself. She had a lot of theoretical knowledge, but her cooking skills were not that good, so she let other people who knew how to cook do it.
Ning Bei is the best cook among the guards. He is very talented and has learned from the palace chefs. Therefore, when he goes out without a cook or cook, Ning Bei is basically the one doing the cooking.
Ning Bei followed Chen Yu's instructions, wrapped the two marinated rabbits in soft lotus leaves, tied them tightly with hemp rope, wrapped them in soil mixed with wine, and threw them into the stove to cook.
Then pour oil into the pot and heat it up, put the marinated diced rabbit in and fry for a while, take it out when it is half cooked, leave the bottom oil in the pot and sauté the onion, ginger, garlic, chili sauce and dried chili until fragrant, and then
Add the fried rabbit cubes and stir-fry.
In addition to the spicy rabbit dices, the bones of the muntjac are also blanched and stewed in soup, and the other pure meat is cut into thin slices and later cooked on stone slabs for barbecue.
The muntjac bone soup took a little longer to stew, and among the wild vegetables Chen Yu dug back there was nightshade, so she had people wash the nightshade and blanch it in the muntjac bone soup. The taste was also the same.
very good.
"It smells so good - ah - ah - ah -" Xue Mingzhu said while sneezing. The spiciness of the spicy rabbit dices was really too strong. She couldn't stand it, but she had to admit that the taste was really fragrant.
"Yes, yes - ah owe -" Yan Long couldn't help but sneeze. She covered her nose and looked at Chen Yun and said, "Sister-in-law, does this spicy rabbit really need to put so much chili pepper?"
"You need to put enough chili pepper to get enough flavor." Chen Xun also said while covering her nose. The taste of chili pepper was really too strong.
But I have to admit that the spicy rabbit dices are really delicious.
Of course, the spiciness of the dried chili peppers she brought out was not particularly spicy. Although they were very strong when stir-fried, they did not taste that spicy. It was a level of spiciness that even people who are not into spicy food can take over.
.
"Don't worry, this spicy rabbit dices must taste very fragrant, and its spiciness is not very high. We can all eat it." Chen Yu assured.
Yan Long and Xue Mingzhu were a little skeptical, but smelling the spicy rabbit dices, they couldn't help but say that they wouldn't eat it for a while. This dish was really fragrant and they wanted to eat it.
