When the expeditionary force camp was covered by mountains, the soldiers of the second team entered the mountains. The roads here were even more difficult. The second team had patrolled in this area. Surdak was very familiar with the terrain in this area, so
Everyone avoided the muddy main road and headed into the dense forest.
It is midsummer, the period when the trees in Gandaer Mountain are most lush. Many plants choose to bloom and bear fruit during this period. Some pear trees in the mountains are covered with green pears, and some have bent their branches. It’s just these sights.
The juicy green pear is actually not delicious. Not only is it extremely sour, but it also leaves a mouth full of residue after chewing.
Only the local aborigines like to collect this kind of pears and pickle them into sour pears. They usually cut them into thin slices and eat them with barbecue, which is very greasy.
Although these green pears are very unpalatable, the fruits are still very beautiful when they are hanging all over the branches.
The young female swordsmen didn't care at all whether these green pears were edible or not. After hearing Suldak's introduction that pickled green pears were delicious when paired with barbecue, they picked many of them excitedly.
Augustus and the bearded Kagel are the hunting experts of the second team. They love hunting. Therefore, every time the second team goes out to perform a mission, they are mostly responsible for hunting and providing lunch and dinner for everyone.
Question, but recently, Augustus has been accustomed to calling He Boqiang every time he hunts. It seems that only when He Boqiang goes with them, his heart feels at ease.
He Boqiang was not willing to go into the forest with these two rough guys. They didn't pay attention to the thorns and vines in the dense forest. They basically followed the traces left by wild beasts. When they came out of the forest, their hands and faces were covered with
Small scratches, and the thin thorns of some plants will break automatically when they penetrate the skin. The wounds left by the thorns will be painful, itchy, and very uncomfortable.
Under Suldak's persuasion, He Boqiang reluctantly followed Augustus into the dense forest for hunting.
The bearded Kagel has excellent reconnaissance skills, and it is difficult for the game hidden in the woods to escape his eyes. Soon, Kagel discovered a nest of pheasants in the woods. Although this kind of wild bird is not rare,
, it is indeed a delicacy in the woods.
If you want to catch this kind of pheasant, the best way is to set a trap. If you can find their feeding place, a rope trap is the easiest way to catch them, but the only disadvantage is that it requires time and patience.
If you have excellent archery skills, you can also hunt the pheasants with bows and arrows. However, these pheasants are very alert. If you want to get close to them, you need superb stealth skills. Cagel, who has been a ranger in the adventure group for two years, is here.
He was very talented in this regard, and soon he hunted a nest of roosters.
In a clearing in the dense forest of Moyunling, the soldiers of the second team set up a simple stove.
Five noble ladies dug out a beautiful picnic cloth from their luggage and spread it under the tree. A girl with a round face and long chestnut hair dug out a jar of catechu leaves from the package, and one took out a
To make a silver teapot with exquisite patterns, first pour a pot of water from the water bag you carry with you, put it on the stove to boil, add some ground tea leaves, a small piece of butter, and a little salt, and skim off the top.
The layer of foam allowed He Boqiang to see the afternoon tea that nobles usually like to drink...
That's it……
There were also a few pieces of shortbread and unknown pastries on the dinner plate. Several noble ladies were sitting quietly under the tree, talking softly.
The mission of the second team is to take care of these five noble ladies. Therefore, there is no need for everyone to rush to the battlefield. They only need to guard against some evil patrols in the forest. What's more, the soldiers of the second team are not afraid at all.
The ghost patrol in the dense forest, so everyone’s mission this time is very different from the past. Everyone is very relaxed this time.
He Boqiang thought of those memories sealed in his heart again, so he proposed to everyone that he cook these flower-tailed chickens.
The thing that the soldiers of the second team were most impatient about was cooking. When someone offered to take charge of lunch, of course they agreed with both hands.
In the past, when soldiers treated this kind of pheasant, they basically tore off the skin and feathers, then stretched it on wooden sticks and put it on the fire, then sprinkled some seasonings on it to make a delicious barbecue. This time, He Boqiang first cooked a pot
The hot water removed the hair on the chickens, and then removed the internal organs from the abdomen. The chickens were marinated in a large iron pot, and then they ran to a river with their red socks.
I dug some yellow mud by the river, wrapped the flower-tailed chicken in banana leaves, and then used yellow mud to wrap the flower-tailed chicken wrapped in banana leaves in layers.
Waiting for He Boqiang and Red Socks to carry the six huge mud balls back to the forest clearing, the bonfire just turned into red charcoal fire. He Boqiang took Red Socks to bury the six big mud balls in the charcoal fire and covered them again.
Some firewood was burned violently...
In fact, this process was quite slow. By the time the six huge mud balls were pulled out of the fire, the soldiers of the second team were almost starving. If it weren't for the pastries that the noble ladies would carry.
Take it out and share it with the soldiers of the second team. I'm afraid some people can't help but eat baked wheat cakes to satisfy their hunger.
At this time, when everyone saw He Boqiang pulling out the big mud balls from the fire, they all became interested and gathered around them.
Even the aristocratic ladies sitting under the tree were looking here frequently.
He Boqiang placed the dried mud ball on a big stone, and used a small hammer to knock off the yellow mud wrapped in the stick chicken little by little, revealing the layers of banana leaves inside. At this time, the aroma in the yellow mud bag came out.
The seeds spread out, and the soldiers of the second team shouted in unison...
Even the roast chicken and goose at the Harvest Festival dinner pale in comparison to this.
Of course, the female swordsmen are indispensable for this delicious 'roast chicken'.
They seemed a little reserved at first, but after they tasted it a little bit, they completely ignored the aristocratic etiquette and frequently dropped the knives on the roast chicken, eating no slower than the second team of soldiers here.
Of course, six pheasants cannot satisfy everyone's appetite. Augustus and Cagle couldn't wait to get back into the woods to hunt a few pheasants.
Only then did everyone notice that Little Duck was missing. He was not rushing to eat this 'delicious roast chicken' with everyone.
When the second team of soldiers was about to search around, the bearded Kagel suddenly found him behind several stacked trees.
He Boqiang was squatting in front of a war horse without any saddle or reins, reaching out and gently stroking its forehead. The war horse silently gnawed on the bracken on the ground, and did not move away from He Boqiang's touch.
But from time to time, she shakes her beautiful ponytail.
The soldiers of the second team hiding behind the tree did not rush forward to disturb He Boqiang. Augustus sighed in admiration: "That horse seems to be the one that little Duck saved on the battlefield. I
I remember that at that time, both of its front legs were broken off by evil spirits. I thought it would turn into a horse meat pie. Unexpectedly, it was actually cured later and was released into the forest. Why did it come back again?
?It seems like this horse is quite emotional..."
"Yes, I helped hang it on the tree at that time..." Red Socks echoed behind him, and realized that everyone was staring at him, so he quickly shut his mouth.
He Boqiang did not expect that the war horse would appear again. It seemed not to be afraid of him at all. When he slowly approached, the war horse just stood there and quietly gnawed on the fresh bracken on the ground.
But not long after, the war horse suddenly raised its head alertly. It first glanced at the hiding place of the second team of soldiers, then took two steps back alertly, then looked at a tree next to it, and neighed softly.
, raised his front hooves and pointed like an arrow across the dense forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the soldiers of the second team behind the tree disperse in a rush, He Boqiang thought it was the soldiers of the second team who scared away the war horse.
At this time, Suldak asked everyone to set up tents on the spot, and He Boqiang quickly went back to help.
Miss Hathaway turned out from behind another tree and looked at He Boqiang's back thoughtfully. She raised her chin slightly, pursed her lips, and raised the corners of her sexy mouth slightly...
