The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

then.

Li Xiaoyue placed the sliced ​​Bok choy into each of the earthen stoves.

Xing'er quickly ran to the place in the woods where they were digging a hole.

As soon as I went in.

A foul odor from fermenting manure wafted out.

She pursed her lips, really not wanting to go over there, afraid of accidentally falling into the outhouse.

So Xing'er went straight into the space to use the outhouse.

Then.

Xing'er hurriedly returned to the camp.

She rushed back anxiously, and only when she saw that everyone was obediently guarding the place and no one had sneaked any food did she feel relieved.

Followed by.

Xing'er sat down next to her.

Zhang took a palm-leaf fan and used it to fan away the mosquitoes for her.

She looked at Xing'er and smiled, saying:

"I didn't lie to you, did I? Your mother, grandmother, and your eldest and second eldest sisters have been taking good care of this place."

"It still has to be Mom and Grandma."

"Now I can rest assured."

"And me too, your older sister and I have been watching all along."

Xing'er looked at her second sister and chuckled:

"Yes, yes, yes, Second Sister, you've worked so hard!"

"I'll ask Mom to get you an extra piece of meat later."

"That's more like it!"

Liu Baoshan sat not far away, watching Li Taohua. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, as if there were stars in them. As he looked at her, he couldn't help but smile.

Lu Lingfeng, however, kept glancing at Xing'er, but he was content with just a quick, furtive glance.

The mountain breeze is blowing right now.

It's not so hot anymore.

Everyone waited quietly for the delicious food in the pot.

While others could only eat coarse rice cakes while fleeing, they were fortunate enough to have a bowl of hot soup during their escape – a true blessing!

Time flies.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn quickly passed.

If you stew venison for a long time, all the fat will melt into the soup.

The golden broth bubbled and boiled, mixed with the unique sweet and rich aroma of the Boletus edulis. The two flavors intertwined and drifted on the evening breeze, filling the entire mountainside with such fragrance that it was impossible to look away.

The flames crackled and leaped beneath the earthen stove, while the pot bubbled and bubbled, releasing waves of savory aromas.

The villagers sitting around the campfire couldn't sit still any longer. They all craned their necks to look into the pot, swallowing their saliva loudly.

"My goodness! This tastes so delicious!"

"I've never smelled such a fragrant soup before!"

The venison soup smells at least ten times better than the pork soup!

"No wonder wealthy families love venison; its flavor is simply incomparable to wild boar!"

The dog clung to the edge of the pot, tiptoeing and swaying back and forth.

"Sister Xing'er! Is it ready yet?! My stomach is rumbling with hunger, my mouth is watering!"

Grass obediently squatted to the side, whispering:

"It smells so sweet! The mushrooms smell wonderful, and the venison is so meaty!"

Li Laowu rubbed his hands together, licked his lips, and stared at the iron pot, sighing:

"This life has been worth it!"

"Even while fleeing from disaster, we can still enjoy venison and mushroom soup—we never had this treat during the Lunar New Year before!"

"Fifth Uncle, don't worry, we'll be able to eat in a little while."

"Okay, okay, we've all been waiting!"

Even the oldest of them, Li Laosan, couldn't help but peer into the earthen stove.

He had only ever seen people selling venison in Qingshi Town.

But as for food...

He never dared to dream of such a rare delicacy, reserved for the wealthy. He never imagined he would ever have the chance to eat venison.

Not to mention the villagers.

Even Lu Lingfeng, who had hunted down a wild deer, felt a sense of longing for it.

Even at home, he doesn't eat venison easily.

Thinking about this...

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the large iron pot on the earthen stove.

Gou'er and Tie Dan asked three times every second if it was ready!

Xing'er only gave in at the exact right time.

"Alright, you can eat now!"

"Let's stick to the previous arrangement. Everyone, please bring your own bowls."

As soon as Xing'er finished speaking, the villagers all got up to get their bowls and chopsticks.

next moment.

In front of each earthen stove, a designated person stood and began ladling venison soup for everyone.

This is usually done by the elderly in the village, and everyone stands separately. To ensure fairness, family members and those ladling soup are separated.

For example, Old Lady Li would serve venison soup to Huang Si Niang's family, Li Lao Jiu's family, and Zhu Yin Chuan's family, while Granny Qin would serve soup to Xing'er's family.

Therefore, it was generally fair, and everyone received a large bowl of mushroom soup with thick slices of venison and plenty of mushrooms.

Everyone held their hot bowls, blew on them a couple of times, and couldn't wait to taste the venison and mushroom soup.

The first sip of soup went down.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly!

"Oh My God!

It's so delicious!

This is so delicious it'll make your eyebrows fall out!

"This Boletus luridus is so delicious!"

It's smooth and slippery, with a sweet taste, it really tastes just like meat!

"This venison is absolutely amazing!"

Every piece of meat was so delicious, and it didn't get stuck in my teeth at all!

"This soup is absolutely amazing!"

One sip and it felt so refreshing, I felt completely comfortable! I even felt the pain in the soles of my feet disappear!

As Xing'er ate the venison and mushroom soup, she exclaimed, "Mountain delicacies are indeed mountain delicacies; even with just a little salt, they are so delicious!"

One of the most noteworthy mushrooms is the Boletus luridus, my goodness, one bite and it feels like a delicacy from heaven.

No wonder the people of Yunnan love mushrooms so much.

Because it's so incredibly fresh!

It was so fresh it was almost tempting to stomp your feet.

The aroma of mushrooms and venison blended together, making it more and more intoxicating with each sip. The cooked Boletus edulis was not a soft spot, but rather crisp and crunchy, with a particularly firm and tender texture. Xing'er ate one bowl after another.

They didn't stop until their bellies were completely round.

Just as Ye Jiuniang was about to feed the baby a spoonful, Xing'er quickly stopped her, because the baby was too young and might have problems if he ate the mushroom soup. The baby's stomach was too delicate. Hearing this, Ye Jiuniang had no choice but to give up.

To the left of the earthen stove.

Li Laojiu shoveled large mouthfuls of meat into the soup, his mouth glistening with oil, and said with a satisfied expression:

"I finally understand how to eat it!"

Mushrooms and venison are the best combination in the world!

Wild boar meat, wild vegetables, and coarse rice are nothing compared to this!

Zhou Chunyan chewed the mushroom carefully and sighed:

"These mushrooms are so fresh and juicy, a hundred times tastier than the vegetables grown in our village! They're so flavorful!"

Li Erni nodded repeatedly:

"As expected, mountain delicacies paired with wild game!"

The food that rich people eat tastes really good!

"After taking a sip of the soup, my whole body felt warm, and the soreness in my wounds subsided!"

Holding the bowl, Liu Dani was reluctant to eat large mouthfuls, sipping the soup in small sips, saying:

"Auntie, this tastes so delicious! I don't dare eat it too fast, I'm afraid I'll finish it in one bite!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Liu Baoshan ate his meat and said with a smile:

"Luckily, we were lucky today in the mountains and caught a wild deer. Combined with the tender mushrooms Xing'er and the others picked, tonight's meal is the most enjoyable one we've had since we fled!"

Lu Lingfeng smiled gently:

"The ingredients are all the best from the mountains, and with Xing'er's cooking skills, the taste is naturally superb."

Everyone chimed in with their own praise, heads down, devouring the food.

Everyone ate until their bellies were full and their stomachs were warm, their mouths filled with the delicious flavor, and they even licked the soup clean, leaving not a single drop.

Even the youngest girl was clamoring to drink three bowls of soup.

Xing'er also gave the mother wolf king's family and Xiao Huang some pieces of venison, but she didn't give them the soup or mushrooms.

Fifteen minutes later.

Everyone had almost finished eating.

Zhang, along with Old Lady Li and several other women and older women from the village, busied themselves cleaning up the dishes.

Xing'er sat on the straw mat, leaning against the cart wheel, thinking that she had finally eaten the mushrooms well and had no problems. She was finally relieved.

After dinner.

The people decided on the person to keep watch.

The mother wolf and her family also lay in different positions guarding the camp.
