If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Chen San's team brought back a wild goat and four pheasants, while Situ Yidong's team picked some wild fruits and vegetables that the girls loved to eat, and brought back a wreath made of wild flowers for Meixiang and Xiaosan respectively.

This surprised Meixiang and Xiaosan very much. The two girls, who were always steady, couldn't help but put them on each other's heads and comment on each other.

The temperature in the mountains in July is not too hot. The occasional breeze brings coolness and the silver bell-like laughter of the two girls.

Everyone saw it and remembered it in their hearts. It turned out that girls' happiness was so simple. A piece of candy or a wild flower could make them happy for a long time. Perhaps what they valued was not the price of the gift but the thoughtfulness of the person who gave the gift.

On the way back to Liu's Mansion, Chu Zeming, Feng Yizheng and others took the initiative to pick some wild flowers, weaved them into wreaths of different sizes, and gave them to all the girls in Liu's Mansion, including the beautiful lady, Nanny Chen and Aunt Li.

Aunt Li said no, but she was very fond of it when she received it. Tears flashed in her eyes. This was the first time she received flowers since her husband passed away. It felt good to be cherished by others. It is said that she kept the wreath in her room until it dried up, but she was reluctant to throw it away.

Meixiang stuffed some herbs into the stomachs of two of the cleaned pheasants, and put mushrooms, salt, green onions and other seasonings into the others. Then she wrapped them tightly with clean large leaves, covered the outside with a layer of mud, and placed them in the pit that had been dug.

The hare was strung up with two sharpened branches and placed on a simple stove made of stones above the pit.

The most worrying thing was the goat that Chen San’s team brought back. It was a bit big and they didn’t know what to do with it.

"How do you want to eat this goat?" Meixiang asked, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Seeing this, Xiaosan quickly put down the work in his hands, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped her face carefully.

Meixiang smiled at her gratefully, and the smile was like fireworks blooming in Situ Yidong's mind, which once again stunned him who had been paying attention to him.

"Brother Situ Shi, why are you in a daze when I ask you a question?"

"Ah, what?"

"I'm asking you how you want to eat this goat?" Meixiang frowned slightly and looked speechlessly at Situ Yidong, who had not yet come to his senses. She didn't understand what could have made him distracted in front of so many people.

"Oh," Situ Yidong came back to his senses, looked at the ingredients in Xiao San's direction and suggested, "Why don't we cut the goat into pieces and roast them too, so that everyone can enjoy it."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you," Meixiang replied with a smile. Compared to the mutton, she was more greedy for the mutton offal. Just as she was thinking about it, she turned around and saw Manager Sun holding the mutton's internal organs and preparing to pour them into the pit. She didn't care about anything else and left Situ Yidong behind and ran towards him, "Hey, Manager Sun, stop it, that's good stuff."

"Hey, hey, hey, give it back to me."

Mei Xiang's series of shouts actually frightened Manager Sun, "Miss Mei, don't worry, you can't eat these!"

"This is good stuff. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after you've eaten it." Meixiang's baby carefully took the sheep's innards wrapped in a large leaf from the hands of Steward Sun, and asked Xiao San to take a small pot and a knife and walk towards the water source.

Meixiang first cleaned the goat's internal organs, then asked Xiaosan to carefully cut them into small pieces with a knife and put them in clean water. After bringing them back, she added some mutton pieces and put them on the fire to cook.

When it boils, skim off the foam on the surface and continue cooking for about two minutes, then carefully pour out the water. Due to limited conditions and no extra basins or pots, I had to hold the pot and fill it with water for the second time and add various seasonings. Slowly, the aroma began to spread from the pot.

The busiest ones inside were Fat Tiger and Little Fat. They rushed from one stove to another, but their nature made them afraid to get too close, so they could only whimper and circle around.

Soon the aroma of roasted hare and roasted lamb wafted over. Fortunately, this was deep in the mountains, otherwise all the children in Liujia Village would have come over to ask for a taste.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively. Everyone stuffed the barbecue in their hands directly into their mouths without caring whether it was hot or not. Sun Shao, Liu Chengen and Sun Guanshi, who missed Meixiang’s birthday barbecue banquet last time, ate until their mouths were full of oil and they were very satisfied.

When the beggar's chicken buried in the soil was dug out and the mud covering it was cracked off, a different kind of fragrance wafted into everyone's nose. Even though everyone's stomachs were already full, they still reached out their hands unconsciously.

"Sister Xiang'er, how did you come up with this method? It's simple and delicious, it's so delicious that it makes me dizzy." Situ Yidun asked while stuffing food into his mouth.

"Of course I read it in a book. This is the beggar's chicken, also known as the rich chicken. It was originally created by a beggar, so it is called the beggar's chicken. According to legend, when an emperor led his troops to conquer the country, he was defeated once and ran for three days and three nights. The enemy was chasing him relentlessly. He was exhausted and hungry. At this time, he saw a pile of fire on the ground in front of him, and there was a pile of mud in the middle of the fire. An old beggar squatted next to it."

"He asked curiously, 'What are you doing here?' The old beggar saw that it was him and said hurriedly, 'I am roasting a chicken for the king.' He was very surprised when he heard it. The old beggar took the chicken out of the fire, opened the mud, and the aroma filled his nose. He ate it and praised it, 'It's very delicious.' From then on, he won smooth sailing in battles and became emperor. Later, he named this chicken the Fortune Chicken."

Meixiang slowly explained the origin of beggar's chicken. She only tasted a bite of each type of roast meat, but she drank two bowls of the mutton soup in one breath before putting down her chopsticks in satisfaction. She concentrated on taking care of the two little ones. She first cut off the fat part and placed it on the clean big leaves in front of them, and later gave them two whole beggar's chickens.

The two little ones were crying while eating. They might be the happiest wolves and tigers in this forest.

After everyone finished eating and took a short break, they began to clean up the "battlefield". Not intentionally destroying the environment is one of the principles that Meixiang has always adhered to. Everyone worked together to put the stones they had brought aside for later use, and filled the dug pit with soil and compacted it. The leftover bones and other things were gathered and buried in a distant place.

After packing up the things in each backpack, they set out to return to Liu's house.

"Miss, sir, of the five people that Master Chen and Master Feng Liu sent to the government office today, except for Liu Goudan from Liujia Village, the other four are indeed of prominent backgrounds." Meixiang and her group had just returned to the Liu Mansion when someone from the government office came to report.
