Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Gu Yan asked doubtfully, "Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"Brother, I want to eat meat."

How can I find ways to improve my family’s living standards so that we can have meat to eat every day?

Gu Yan's eyes flashed. Want to eat meat?

He thought of the two rabbits he picked up in the morning. That was all. His sister liked them. "Qingqing, do you want to eat roasted rabbits?"

Hmm? Roasted rabbit?

Gu Qingzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she also remembered the wild rabbit she picked up when she went up the mountain in the morning. She instantly became interested, "Brother, can you roast rabbits?"

"Of course, you wait here, I'll be back in a moment."

He put the rabbit he picked up in the morning in the backpack under the chestnut tree. He had to catch one, kill it and roast it.

Gu Qingzhi quickly ate the biscuit in her hand and said, "Brother, how about we go together?"

In the end, Gu Yan agreed. He couldn't refuse such a lovely sister.

Since my sister is going...

He stuffed the pancake in his hand into his mouth and picked up the lunch box. "Let's go over there to eat later. I know there's a stream nearby. It's convenient there."

Gu Yan planned to get the backpack first. He held the food box in one hand and naturally held Gu Qingzhi's little hand with the other.

He was very nervous, worried that Gu Qingzhi would shake his hand away.

But he was so nervous all the way. Gu Qingzhi's mind was not on this at all. She was holding Gu Yan's hand and looking at everything around her with great interest.

Wow, so many medicinal herbs.

The two of them arrived under the chestnut tree. Gu Yan picked up the backpack and walked towards the stream with Gu Qingzhi.

Gu Qingzhi thought secretly, it would be great if we could catch one or two pheasants now.

Whenever she went out, there would always be one or two small animals present at her door.

However, I have already picked up two wild rabbits this morning, so I shouldn’t be able to pick up anything else today, right?

Huh?

Before she could finish this thought, a colorful pheasant came running towards them in a daze.

Gu Qingzhi???

Gu Yan was quick to let go of Gu Qingzhi's hand, quickly picked up a branch from the side, and threw it at the pheasant.

Gu Yan’s aim was very good, and in the end, of course, the pheasant was caught by Gu Yan.

He took a few steps forward and picked up the pheasant. "Qingqing, can we have roasted chicken?"

This is a good thing.

Gu Yan decided to let the rabbit go for the time being. This pheasant was quite big. Excluding the hair, it was estimated to weigh about three kilograms, enough for the two of them to eat.

Take the hare home and eat it.

Gu Yan held Gu Qingzhi's hand and walked downstairs, and the space became wider and wider.

As the water plants gradually grew, a small stream appeared vaguely before our eyes.

Gu Yan took Gu Qingzhi to a small stream. The water was crystal clear and there were dense water plants on the bank.

Gu Yan was plucking and cleaning pheasants by the stream, when Gu Qingzhi took off her shoes and socks and ran to the stream to play in the water. Gu Yan pursed his lips and smiled, she was still a child after all...

"Brother, there are fish in this stream."

Of course Gu Yan knew that there were fish in the stream. He often went to this area and occasionally caught some fish or shrimps here, but that required good luck, as the fish here were not easy to catch.

However, when he heard Gu Qingzhi say this, he looked up and saw her catching a grass carp weighing more than two kilograms from the water plants!

Gu Yan was shocked!!!!

Gu Qingzhi happily ran to Gu Yan holding the fish. Gu Yan looked at the big grass carp in her hands in disbelief. Is this fish stupid?

However, he had never seen such a big grass carp in this stream!

Gu Yan thought for a moment and thought that he could make some fish soup.

He had just finished cleaning the pheasant's skin, fur and internal organs when Gu Qingzhi came over with great interest, holding two crucian carps as big as his palm.

Gu Yan was speechless.

In fact, he seldom gets food to eat in the mountains.

Normally he would go up the mountain to pick produce and set some traps in the mountains, but he seldom ate the game he hunted himself. He usually sold it secretly and saved it for paying his rent.

He realized very early on that if he wanted to change his current situation, the only way was to study and become an official.

No matter how hard life is now, it will only be hard for a few years. If we don’t change, we will suffer for the rest of our lives, and even our younger brothers and sisters will suffer the same fate.

Therefore, no matter how difficult life was, he gritted his teeth.

But now, for the sake of this lovely little cousin, he is willing to roast the game he caught directly on the mountain, which is a very rare thing for him.

Of course, Gu Qingzhi didn't know this.

In her previous life, she had never thought about why her cousin could pick so many mountain products in the mountains but still lived such a hard life. She just thought that he returned to the academy to earn tuition. However, in this life, Gu Qingzhi had doubts and always felt that something was strange.

Gu Yan placed the processed pheasant and fish on a large rock, said something to Gu Qingzhi, took out a machete from his backpack and walked towards the woods.

Gu Qingzhi heard the sound of branches being cut in the woods.

Not long after, Gu Yan came out dragging a handful of dry branches and holding a handful of green leaves in his hand.

Gu Qingzhi went up to him and asked, "Brother, what is this?" She looked at the leaves and felt that they looked familiar.

"Crush these bay leaves and sprinkle them on meat and grilled fish to make them more fragrant and tender."

Oh, Gu Qingzhi remembered. No wonder she felt these leaves looked familiar. They turned out to be bay leaves!

According to ancient records, the fragrant tree likes shade and is often found in deep mountains. Its leaves have the effect of enhancing fragrance, removing fishy smell and improving flavor, making it suitable for cooking fish and meat.

I didn’t expect there was one on Xizi Mountain!

She was eager to try, "Brother, let me wash the bay leaves."

Gu Yan thought about it and decided that there was a stream nearby, so it would be okay to let his sister go and wash, so he nodded in agreement. The most important thing, of course, was that he couldn't refuse such a lovely sister.

He sat on a big rock, picked up a machete to cut branches, and watched his sister wash the bay leaves.

Gu Qingzhi quickly washed the bay leaves and came back.

She saw Gu Yan use a machete to gut the chicken, then use the three short wooden sticks he had just sharpened to stretch the chicken's breast at the wings and thighs.

Then he picked up a long stick with a small fork on the end and pierced the chicken from the buttocks to the head, firmly threading the pheasant.

Then follow the same procedure and skewer a few fishes as well, and smear the crushed bay leaves all over the inside and outside of the pheasant and fish.

He moved a few large stones and built the stove with a somewhat unfamiliar attitude. After making a fire, Gu Yan roasted the prepared pheasant and fish over the fire.

The chicken was sizzling on the fire. Gu Yan turned the wooden stick from time to time, saying, "Qingqing, let's eat grilled fish first. Next time you bring the clay pot up, we'll make fish soup."

Looking at Gu Yan like this, a question suddenly appeared in Gu Qingzhi's mind.

She had just come up the mountain today and encountered so many wild game. Usually she was lucky, but she had never picked up so much wild game in one day. This shows that Xizi Mountain is rich in resources.
