Chapter 108 Great Satisfaction

  Thanks for the support of Lonely, Slow Run and Trace of Blade two brothers!

  Back by the stream, seeing those scattered chicken feathers, Ye Xiaoshuang asked: "Don't you want the rest? I heard they can be sold for money."

  Chu Jiaqiang was taken aback, and Old Man Li smiled in response: "What you're saying is duck feathers, nobody wants chicken feathers."

  He nodded and Chu Jiaqiang also said: "Duck down is used by people to make badminton, what's the use of chicken feathers?"

  In the countryside, when ducks are killed, their feathers are usually saved and later sold to waste collectors who come to the door. Two or three yuan can be earned from the feathers of one duck. At this time, it's a happy moment for children, and they also have some income.

  "How useful! Can be used as a shuttlecock, can also be used as a feather duster, fan and so on!" Ye Xiaoshuang immediately listed a large number of uses, making it seem like it's even more useful than duck down.

  Chu's family was stunned for a moment, it seemed so, but really didn't receive any chicken feathers!

  "Cough, cough! I don't know about that. It seems like a good choice to make chicken feather Chanzi, and I'll leave some too." Chu Jiaqiang also picked some, the wild chicken feathers were much smoother than those of domestic chickens, and they were more colorful. Of course, if you want to make chicken feather Chanzi, you have to pick some soft feathers.

  "Grandpa Li, this is my little rabbit. Fifth Grandfather said that wild rabbits are not easy to raise, is that right?" Ye Xiaoshuang took out her little rabbit like a treasure and let Old Man Li take a look.

  Li Lao Tou furrowed his brow, looking surprised: "Huh? A white rabbit? That's rare. You really want to raise it? Rabbits can be quite a handful, do you have any grassy areas at home? If it's all cement or hard ground, then it's better not to keep one, it'll be tiring for both you and the rabbit."

  "Is that so? My home has a lawn and garden, don't worry, what does it usually eat later?" Ye Xiaoshuang seemed to have made up her mind to adopt this little rabbit.

  "Now it's still small, can only eat some tender grass leaves, vegetable leaves and so on. When it grows up a bit, many things can be eaten, the most favorite is carrots." Old Man Li explained.

  The little white rabbit licked Ye Xiaoshuang's fingers, looking quite spirited.

  "This little thing must be hungry, go find some tender grass shoots for it to eat," suggested Old Man Li.

  Ye Xiaoshuang immediately ran away excitedly, Chu Jiaqiang looked at her with some speechlessness, hoping that this girl wouldn't be a flash in the pan. He still remembered the wild rabbit that Chu Jiahao had raised, which later couldn't stay in his house and was thrown into his own home, where he slaughtered it himself and ate it.

  At this time, a squirrel came running and jumping again. Seeing Chu Jiaxiong, it suddenly stopped its body and stared at Chu Jiaxiong vigilantly.

  "Huh? This little guy is back again? And still holding a walnut." Professor Wen was somewhat surprised.

  Chu Jiaxiong saw the squirrel and got annoyed, just about to take action, Chu Jiaqiang stopped him: "Forget it, don't bother with the squirrel, sit down and help peel the rabbit skin." Chu Jiaxiong glared at the little squirrel before backing off.

  The little squirrel came over in three steps, apparently very wary of Chu Jiaolong. When Ye Xiaoshuang saw the little squirrel, she immediately stopped and wanted to hug it.

  He determined that Chu Jiaxiong would not take action, so he walked straight towards Chu Jiaqiang and handed over the walnut tree with a gesture of offering.

  "Sweat! Does this count as surrendering?" Liu Yang said with wide eyes.

  Chu Jiaqiang was also a bit stunned, this big-tailed squirrel was indeed too clever. He took the pine nut: "Well, I'll accept your gift." Chu Jiaqiang stroked the squirrel's soft fur and incidentally transmitted a stream of spiritual energy to it.

  The big-tailed squirrel was extremely happy and rolled over twice on the spot.

  "Chu's family is strong, you let little squirrel also touch me." Ye Xiaoshuang blinked at the squirrel, begging.

  Chu Jiaqiang didn't know the squirrel's temperament either, so he said a sentence to it. Who knew that this squirrel, apart from rejecting Chu Jiahao, could get along with anyone else, just like a little star, showing off its talents in front of everyone.

  At this time, a burst of quacking sounds came over.

  "Big brother! This sound seems to be a stone frog, do you want to catch it?" Chu Jiaxiong suggested, the taste of stone frog is even better than rabbit and wild chicken, no wonder this guy's eyes are shining. He used to often go with Chu Jiaqiang at night with flashlights to catch yellow eel and stone frog to make porridge, the taste is exceptional.

  The internal quality of the stone frog is tender, fresh and delicious, rich in nutrients, with functions such as clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing and strengthening the body. Its edible value and medicinal value are not ordinary, it is one of the famous aquatic products in the southern hilly areas.

  Everyone knows that snakes eat frogs, but it's possible that people don't know that this kind of toad also eats young snakes, as well as centipedes, spiders, snails, fish, shrimp, and crabs, and even small birds. It's really hard to imagine that this is a type of frog, and it can be said that it's the overlord of frogs.

  However, the stone frog has poor eyesight and can only capture active live bait. Even if dead food is sent to its mouth, it will not be taken in. When a food target is found, it suddenly jumps up, rushes straight at the food object, flicks out its sticky tongue to catch the food, and quickly rolls it into its mouth. Prey capture mostly occurs at night, hiding in caves during the day.

  At this time, the croaking is likely to be a mating call. When you go to catch them, you won't just catch one, wait a bit and you can catch the opposite sex of stone frogs that come over after hearing the sound.

  "Stone frog, good stuff! Let's go together." Miao Huo was immediately moved. Apparently he had also tasted stone frog before, but what he ate in the past was artificially bred, and it is said that wild ones taste better.

  "Never mind! We have enough food here, and that thing needs a pot to be good, we don't have the conditions here. If you like it, catch some more on the way back, after all, this animal breeds very quickly, even more terrifying than rabbits." Chu didn't worry that everyone would catch all the stone frogs, it was too difficult anyway.

  Wu Shu Gong personally took action, his craftsmanship was not as good as Er Shu Gong's, but he was also skilled at burning wild flavors. Chu Jiaqiang led the way to find some dry firewood and set up a bonfire on the side.

  "Haha! It's so easy to hunt after all." Wen Qiu said, thinking to herself no wonder these people didn't want to bring food into the mountains.

  "That's the benefit of having a rich experience like Fifth Uncle. If it were you, you might not have made it out alive." Liu Yang said, he had gone hunting with others before, but nothing was as simple as today, that's the advantage of having experience.

  The fifth uncle smiled, this sentence made him very comfortable. He applied some oil to the cleaned pheasant, stuffed a little spice into the belly of the chicken, and then wrapped it tightly with several layers of large leaves that had been washed clean. He also asked Chu Jiaqiang to dig up some yellow mud, mix it with water, and apply it thickly to the surface of the pheasant, so that when held in his hand, it looked like a big ball of mud.

  Put it under the fire heap, on top of the charcoal, and then quickly made a wooden frame, put the washed rabbit meat on it for everyone to roast. Everyone gathered around waiting to eat, watching and chatting idly.

  Soon, the aroma of rabbit wafted out, and when it was almost done, everyone was invited to slice and eat. The crowd didn't stand on ceremony, picking up their chopsticks and digging in with gusto. Wen Qiu and the others chimed in with praise: "Delicious, delicious! Fifth Uncle's culinary skills are unparalleled."

  After eating the rabbit meat, everyone was a few points full. Fifth Uncle dug out one of the mud balls, knocked open the dry mud on top, and opened the leaves to reveal a wild chicken with its unique fragrance, which once again stirred up everyone's appetite.

  "Is this the legendary Beggar King?" Miao Huo swallowed his saliva.

  After eating the begonia chicken, everyone praised it again. As they say, a thousand cuts and ten thousand cuts can't cut through flattery! Wu Shu didn't dislike this kind of talk, and smiled as he said: "My craftsmanship is just average, there's someone in the village who's truly exceptional. I'm just a hungry person who eats well, you guys have been walking for half a day, so your consumption is relatively high, that's why it tastes good."

  "Anyway, I think your craftsmanship is better than those masters outside," said Liu Yang.

  Everyone ate until they were too full to move and then reluctantly stopped eating. Chu Jiaqiang distributed the remaining food to the several dogs that had been waiting with eager eyes.

  "Shouldn't we leave some for Xueying?" Miao Huo reminded.

  "It'll find its own food," Chu Jiaqiang replied, he had never worried about the meals of a few animals.
