Gu Hao quickly replied, "No need, sister. I can just pick a leaf and wrap it."

After thinking for a while, Gu Qingzhi said, "Then I'll kill the chicken."

Gu Yan looked at her with a half-smile on his face.

"Qingqing, you can actually kill chickens?"

Gu Qingzhi was dumbfounded. She had never killed a chicken in her past life or this life! But...

"Brother, I don't know how to do it, but I can learn!"

Gu Yan glanced at her lightly and said, "You are not needed here. We can do it."

Gu Qingzhi pouted unhappily, "Wouldn't that make me look useless..."

Gu Yan was extremely helpless, and after pondering for a while, he finally got an idea: "Didn't we pick some mushrooms this morning and plan to make soup for lunch?

We have made yam and red date chicken soup now, and we can’t use these mushrooms for the time being, so we might as well dry them. This patch of grass is quite clean, so it’s suitable for drying them.”

Gu Qingzhi looked around and found that there were very few places to stay by the pond. There was really no place for her to stay, so she could only agree to this matter: "Okay, then I'll go dry mushrooms, so as not to grow mushrooms out of boredom."

Gu Yan noticed that her hat was a little crooked, so he reminded her, "Tie your hat tight, don't get burned by the sun."

"Yeah, brother, I know." Her brother always treated her like a child.

Gu Qingzhi turned around and ran quickly up the slope.

We picked a lot of mushrooms in the morning, several baskets full. It takes some time to take them all out and dry them in the sun.

At this moment, she once again sighed that her brother had found a good place, which was big and clean.

It's really suitable for drying things.

I saw that the green grass had become extremely dry after being scorched by the sun for the entire morning, without a trace of moisture left.

Moreover, the grass was unusually clean, and there wasn't even a dead branch to be found.

Occasionally, there were a few yellow leaves that Gu Qingzhi picked up and placed in the pile of firewood next to her, ready to use as firewood later.

She stood in the middle of the grass, put down the basket first, took out some mushrooms from it and scattered them on the ground, then used branches to flatten the stacked mushrooms one by one.

Before long, the grass was covered with mushrooms of all shapes and sizes.

Hmm... The sun here is so hot, I guess these mushrooms should be basically dry after just one afternoon of exposure, right?

Wait until tomorrow to take them out, turn them over and dry them in the sun, then you can put them all away.

When it’s cold in winter, take them out and make soup, it must taste delicious!

After Gu Qingzhi had dried several baskets of mushrooms, the two Gu brothers also came up the mountain carrying their things.

Gu Yan was holding a pheasant and a rabbit in one hand and a bunch of killed fish in the other; while Gu Hao was holding a clay pot filled with yam, red dates and clean spring water in both hands.

The three of them walked under the shade of the tree together. Gu Hao put the pottery jar aside, picked up the tinder and started a fire.

Gu Yan saw the little girl approaching and asked, "Qingqing, what are you going to do with the fish and the hare?"

Gu Qingzhi thought for a while and said, "Since we already have the soup for lunch, let's roast these and eat them!"

She asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

After getting Gu Qingzhi's reply, Gu Yan said, "Okay, first help me get those washed large leaves.

Wild rabbit needs to be marinated first and then roasted to be more delicious.

There is no need to marinate the fish. I will grill it for you first!"

Gu Qingzhi nodded and said yes, then quickly ran over to get all the washed large leaves, then stood aside and watched how Gu Yan pickled the rabbit.

Gu Hao lit a fire on the side, then hung the clay pot on the rack and put the cleaned pheasant in it.

The flames were rising, Gu Qingzhi looked at it and couldn't help curling her lips with some regret: "Next time I will bring some medicinal herbs for the soup, the chicken soup will taste better."

Hearing this, Gu Yan's mouth curled up slightly and he smiled softly: "Don't worry, Qingqing, there will be many opportunities like this in the future."

Yes! Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhi decided to go back home at night to make good preparations. Now there are already a lot of medicinal materials in the pharmacy.

After marinating the hare, Gu Yan picked up a branch and began to carve a fork. He then skewered the fish one by one, sprinkled them with spices, and placed them on the rack to roast.

He turned to Gu Hao and ordered, "Brother Hao, please watch the fire."

Gu Hao responded: "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of the fire."

Having said that, he began to watch the fire dutifully.

Gu Qingzhi didn't know where Gu Yan was taking her, but she followed him obediently anyway.

Gu Yan was seen carrying a backpack and leading Gu Qingzhi into a forest.

Not long after, Gu Qingzhi saw a fruit tree and couldn't help wondering: "Brother, is this an orange tree?"

"We're already here, um, yes," Gu Yan replied with a smile, "Qingqing, just wait under the tree for a while!

Brother, go up there first and pick a few to taste and see how they taste."

Gu Qingzhi looked up and saw that the tree was full of fruits, some of which were orange-red, while others were orange-red with a slight hint of green.

"Brother, is this really a wild orange?" Gu Qingzhi asked curiously. Why is it so big?

"Yes, it is indeed a wild orange. I noticed this fruit tree when I passed by here just now."

Gu Yan answered as he nimbly climbed up the orange tree.

He carefully selected several brightly colored, large orange-red oranges from the tree, picked them, and then carefully took them down from the tree.

After coming down from the tree, Gu Yan gently broke the orange into two halves, took one of the halves and broke off a slice of orange, put it in his mouth, and gently bit it twice. A sour and sweet taste spread in his mouth.

Well, it’s okay, at least it’s not sour and bitter.

In fact, there are also some wild orange trees growing on Dongfeng Mountain.

However, the fruits are relatively small and taste sour, so no one likes to eat them.

Just now he just wanted to bring his sister to see this wild orange tree on a whim.

After tasting it and finding it delicious, he handed the remaining half of the orange to Gu Qingzhi.

At the same time, he said gently, "Qingqing, I just tasted this orange and it tastes pretty good. You can try it and see if you like it."

Gu Qingzhi took half of the orange and held it in front of her face to smell it. "Brother, the smell of this orange is very rich. The sour and sweet smell is very comfortable."

She couldn't wait to put a slice of orange into her mouth and took a light bite. Instantly, the sour and sweet taste slowly spread in her mouth.
