The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Xilin and Ye Qingqing liked yesterday's snail chicken stew. Having just eaten the snail chicken stew, the siblings were thinking about the snail chicken stew again.

The creek at the foot of Xiaohou Mountain originally had many snails, but since ducklings were raised in the creek, all the snails, small fish and shrimps in the river have been eaten.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin planned to go to the river in Tangjia Valley to touch snails and return with some small river clams.

After Tang Xiaojing had breakfast, he drove an ox cart to Ye's house early in the morning.

At this time, Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin had just finished breakfast.

The two siblings took several large backpacks and followed Tang Xiaojing onto the oxcart.

The valley of the Tang family was a bit far away. Even taking a bullock cart would take about an hour. Even if the road had been repaired, Ye Qingqing felt that his buttocks were numb and had no feeling.

Tang Xiaojing helped Ye Qingqing, who was about to fall apart, out of the bullock cart.

"Qingqing, Xilin, you haven't been to Rabbit Mountain yet, have you? It's still early, do you want to go to Rabbit Mountain and have a look?"

After getting off the oxcart, Ye Qingqing stretched out his body and said, "Okay, I've wanted to take a look for a long time."

Since Tang Xiaojing bought Rabbit Mountain at the beginning of the year, Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin haven't been here yet. The last time they touched the river clam was last year.

Ye Xilin jumped off the bullock cart and squeezed in between Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing.

This is what Ye's father told him not to let the two of them interact alone. Ye Xilin's task today is to keep an eye on Tang Xiaojing.

Tang Xiaojing looked at his brother-in-law who was in the way, and then at Ye Qingqing who was snickering at the side.

Tang Xiaojing couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he could only call back Dahuang and Xiaohuang who had run away to ease the atmosphere.

The three of them were carrying a large basket on their backs, and Ye Qingqing was also holding a small basket in his hand. Tang Xiaojing said that there were many mushrooms on the mountain, and Ye Qingqing wanted to pick some mushrooms and go back.

Tang Xiaojing took good care of Ye Qingqing and walked slowly along the way.

Da Huang and Xiao Huang ran fast, running forward like crazy, leaving Ye Qingqing and the others far behind.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang hunted on these two hills every day and would walk away with their eyes closed. Tang Xiaojing didn't worry about them and just let them run around.

On the way, Tang Xiaojing introduced the newly purchased Rabbit Mountain to Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin.

"This Rabbit Mountain is different from Stone Mountain. The terrain on the mountain is much gentler, and the soil quality is not as good as Stone Mountain. Most of the mountains are covered with short miscellaneous trees."

"There are not many trees on the mountain, but it is covered with a kind of grass that rabbits particularly like to eat. Therefore, there are many rabbits on the mountain. I simply called this mountain Rabbit Mountain."

Ye Xilin was quite interested in the grass that rabbits like to eat, "Then this grass is rabbit grass."

"You can call it that." Tang Xiaojing pulled out some rabbit grass and showed it to Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin.

Ye Xilin saw that the grass looked familiar, "This grass seems to be found in the small back hill."

Ye Qingqing saw that the grass was actually an ordinary weed, "It's normal to have it. It's just a weed, it's just that there are more of it on Rabbit Hill."

Rabbit Mountain is right next to Stone Mountain, and a few people reached the foot of the mountain in a short time.

As expected, Rabbit Mountain is just like Tang Xiaojing said, with some short trees, but the grass on the mountain is very lush.

As soon as the three of them reached the foot of the mountain, they encountered a fat rabbit eating young grass in the grass.

Tang Xiaojing deliberately showed off, took out a bow and arrow from his backpack, and shot a cold arrow directly into the rabbit.

The rabbit, who was just eating young grass, fell to the ground before he could figure out what was going on.

When Ye Xilin saw the rabbit falling, he quickly ran over and lifted the rabbit back by its ears.

Ye Xilin held the rabbit and said with a smile: "This rabbit is really fat. It weighs at least seven pounds."

"It's already autumn, and the little animals are putting on their autumn fat for the winter, so they are naturally fatter than usual."

Tang Xiaojing pulled the sword back from the rabbit, pulled out two handfuls of weeds, and wiped the blood off the bow and arrows.

Tang Xiaojing did not take back his bow and arrow, and planned to shoot two more hares and pheasants. At noon, he could roast rabbits and pheasants.

The weeds on Rabbit Mountain are very lush. Although there are no precious medicinal materials on the mountain, there are many common herbs.

In addition, there were a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. Even if it hadn't rained recently, Ye Qingqing had already picked a basket full of mushrooms when he was sitting halfway up the mountain.

There were a lot of red mushrooms and straw mushrooms on Rabbit Mountain. The three of them were lucky. Ye Qingqing also found several nests of gallinobacteria.

Tang Xiaojing looked at the gallinobacteria in the basket and said cheerfully:

"I was really lucky today. I stuffed the chicken with bacteria into the belly of the pheasant. The roasted pheasant was particularly delicious, with crispy skin and tender and juicy chicken inside."

"Brother Xiao Jing, shall we make roast chicken for lunch?" Ye Xilin became greedy again after hearing what Tang Xiaojing said.

Tang Xiaojing smiled and said, "I'll show you my side at noon. Not only are there roasted pheasants, there's also roasted rabbits."

"Okay, then it depends on how good your cooking is. If it's not delicious, sister, you can't let him go."

Then Ye Xilin slapped Ye Qingqing twice, "I told you to talk nonsense."

There is a spring halfway up the mountain. Wild goats and deer often come to drink water, so Tang Xiaojing deliberately dug several traps near the spring.

Tang Xiaojing was afraid that Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin would accidentally step on the trap, so he asked the siblings to stand aside and not move while he went over to check the trap.

Tang Xiaojing was lucky today. There were preys falling into three of the five traps.

Tang Xiaojing opened the traps and found that his luck was actually average. There was only one rabbit in each trap.

Tang Xiaojing thought that one of the three traps would catch a wild goat or deer, so he would be happy for nothing.

Tang Xiaojing threw the rabbits into the basket behind him, and then rearranged the trap.

Then he took the siblings and continued walking to the top of the mountain. They met several rabbits along the way, but Tang Xiaojing already had 4 rabbits in his basket, so he didn't shoot them.

Although there were many rabbits in this Rabbit Mountain, there were not many pheasants. Ye Qingqing only saw one pheasant along the way, and it was standing on a tree.

As soon as Tang Xiaojing opened his bow and arrow, the pheasant flew nimbly to another tree and then got into the grass.

The further up the mountain, the more mushrooms there were, and Ye Qingqing enjoyed picking them up along the way.

Tang Xiaojing saw that Ye Qingqing was only picking mushrooms along the way, so he slowed down and picked herbs.

The three of them walked and walked, and when they reached the top of the mountain, the sun had already reached the center.

Tang Xiaojing asked Ye Xilin and Ye Qingqing to stay where they were and make a fire. He took the rabbit and a pheasant he had killed on the road and went to a nearby spring to deal with the rabbit and pheasant.

In addition to rabbits and pheasants, Tang Xiaojing also brought a lot of gallinobacteria. After washing the fungi, they were stuffed into the bellies of pheasants and hares.

With the addition of coriander mushrooms, the roasted pheasants and rabbits will not only have the aroma of coriander mushrooms, but the meat inside will be more tender and juicy.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin picked up some dead grass that had been dried by the sun and some small branches nearby, which were perfect for making a fire.

Then he picked up a few dead trees that seemed to be completely dry.

After gathering firewood, the siblings found a flat place and started to light a fire.

As soon as the fire was raised, Tang Xiaojing came back with the prepared pheasants and rabbits.

Tang Xiaojing's barbecue skills were taught step by step by Tangshan. When they were picking mushrooms, the father and son often roasted pheasants and rabbits on the mountain, and their skills were quite good.

The rabbit and pheasant were constantly turned over the charcoal fire, and the fat on the surface was baked out, dripping on the charcoal and making a sizzling sound.

With the high temperature of the charcoal fire, the rich aroma of meat began to spread in the air, and it was also accompanied by a hint of mushroom aroma.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin were salivating with greed, staring longingly at the roast chicken and rabbit in Tang Xiaojing's hands.

Rhubarb and little yellow appeared from nowhere, staring anxiously at the pheasants and hares, and howling from time to time.

Going up the mountain today, Tang Xiaojing was very well prepared. In addition to salt, he also specially brought some spices for roasting chicken.

It became more fragrant after being sprinkled with spices. Ye Qingqing's stomach made a growling sound, and then the rhubarb howled.

Ye Qingqing rubbed Dahuang's big head furiously.
