Chapter 189 Someone is coming at the foot of the mountain
After the wild boar was killed, several people quickly worked together to separate its flesh and bones, and each of them loaded a little into a backpack, and then continued on their way up the mountain.
They were located halfway up the mountain, in a relatively secluded area with dense bushes. If a wild boar or other ferocious beast came along, everyone would be in trouble.
The mountain road was not very steep. Each of them carried about 50 kilograms of pork on their shoulders while climbing the mountain. Although it was a bit heavy, they did not stop.
About half an hour later, they finally reached the top of the mountain. Standing on the top and looking down, they saw a lush green area at the foot of the mountain. The wind blew over with a little moisture, making them so comfortable that they couldn't help but lie down and take a rest.
Lu Qingqing put the pork down from the backpack and looked up at Lu Yaoyao. She was still sleeping and hadn’t woken up yet. Even though they had just been so noisy while hunting wild boars and then had been on the bumpy journey up the mountain, she hadn’t woken up yet!
How come you can sleep so well?
Lu Qingqing felt something was wrong and quickly raised her hand to touch her forehead.
The temperature is fine and there is no fever. Her wound does not show any redness, swelling or bleeding.
It seems that she is really exhausted these days.
Lu Qingqing spread a quilt under the shade of a tree on the ground, then carefully carried Lu Yaoyao out and placed her on the quilt.
The wind is strong on the top of the mountain, and the shade of the trees blocks the sun, so sleeping is cool and comfortable.
Lu Yaoyao moaned in comfort and fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing this, several people couldn't help but laugh.
Mu Yuer was more concerned about when Lu Yaoyao would wake up, and asked Lu Qingqing several times along the way. Now that they reached the top of the mountain, Mu Yuer asked again.
Lu Qingqing knew that she was worried about Lu Yaoyao, and she was the same, but it was hard for her to say when Lu Yaoyao would wake up. After thinking about it, she said:
"Yaoyao will probably wake up when we have lunch."
Mu Yuer laughed happily, "She loves meat the most. We hunted a wild boar and there is so much meat. When it is cooked, she will definitely wake up when she smells the meat."
As she spoke, Mu Yuer quickly picked up a lot of dry firewood and came over to cook with Yang Liuqing.
But before cooking, you first have to sort and chop all the 200-pound wild boar meat and marinate it.
This kind of work would take several hours, and usually it was done by the experienced uncle and aunt together, and the others were just helping out!
Lu Qingqing helped chop the bones for a while, and then took Mu Yuer and Liang Pei to cook together, while the second uncle, second aunt and Lu Yuanzheng continued to prepare the wild boar meat.
With so much meat, you have to separate the bones and meat as quickly as possible, then apply salt on them and marinate them separately!
Everyone hadn't eaten such fresh meat for a while, and everyone wanted to have a good and hearty meal.
Lu Qingqing then brought over the pig offal, pig's trotters, and three large ribs!
Half of the pig offal is used to make braised meat, and the other half is used to stir-fry wild vegetables. The pig's trotters are braised, and the ribs are used to make soup.
She skillfully lit a fire, boiled a pot of water, and put the chopped pork into the pot to cook.
Mu Yuer and Liang Pei helped to light the fire.
As time passed, the rich aroma of meat gradually spread, soon filling the entire mountaintop.
"It smells so good..." Lu Yaoyao's voice suddenly came over. She woke up at some point and sat up sleepily and was about to come over.
Mu Yuer quickly held her down and said, "Be careful, your injury hasn't healed yet."
Lu Yaoyao then remembered that her foot had been pierced by a blade. Looking at the thick gauze wrapped around her foot, she suddenly felt a piercing pain!
Her only memory was that her foot was injured and it hurt so much that she didn't want anyone to get close to or touch her foot, not even her sister. That was the memory, and she didn't remember anything else.
After hearing what she said, Mu Yuer immediately told her everything.
Lu Yaoyao is indeed the reincarnation of a foodie. Mu Yuer told her about the two things: how they were almost caught up by the coughing victims, and how the wild boar suddenly attacked them. However, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she was concerned about when the meat could be eaten.
Mu Yuer supported her and limped to the pot. Braised pork trotters were stewing inside. The aroma bubbling out made her so greedy that she reached out to lift the lid to see what was inside.
Lu Qingqing was busy cutting braised pork offal. When she saw her actions, she quickly slapped her.
"It's hot, don't move."
As he said that, he took a piece of her favorite pork kidney and stuffed it into her mouth, and also gave a piece to Mu Yuer.
As soon as Lu Yaoyao ate the meat, she no longer felt the pain in her feet. Lu Qingqing was about to ask her about her feet when she heard her say this and smiled:
"Okay, so you're short of meat. I'll fill a basin for you later!"
Although she said this, she still stopped what she was doing and came over to check Lu Yaoyao's feet. She found that they were slowly getting better, so she felt relieved and continued cooking.
All the dishes were prepared and served, and my uncle and aunt had also processed all the pork.
The bones and meat filled two full backpacks, estimated to be more than 130 kilograms. If they ate meat every day, it would be enough for them to eat for two months.
Lu Qingqing cooked three dishes, a soup and a big bowl of white rice. Although it was not very rich, the portions were sufficient and filled the whole pot.
A few people sat down anywhere, sat together without any invitation, and began to enjoy this sumptuous lunch.
Lu Yaoyao was injured and very hungry, so she picked up the meat and started to eat it voraciously.
Yang Liuqing felt so distressed when she saw her like this, so she didn't eat it herself, and then tore the meat into small pieces one by one and gave them to Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Qingqing was not worried that she would spoil the child, because Lu Yaoyao quickly stopped Second Aunt's behavior and told Second Aunt not to bother her while she was eating, otherwise she would not eat.
Seeing her firm attitude, Yang Liuqing just let her go.
Today’s dishes were all well prepared and tasted great, and everyone had a great time!
After lunch, we prepared to take a short rest before going down the mountain. After going down the mountain, we walked through the woods for a while and then climbed another mountain!
Lu Qingqing was afraid that Lu Yaoyao's feet would not be able to bear it, so while taking a break, she quickly picked some herbs for Lu Yaoyao to wear, reinforced the backpack, and then lay down and touched it for a while.
The sun was shining at noon, shining through the leaves and falling on them, making them feel warm and comfortable.
At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.
Everyone thinks it would be great if they could live like this every day, without having to flee famine, worry about supplies being stolen, or have to worry about three meals a day!
Liang Pei stood guard beside him without resting. According to him, he had internal strength and would be fine even if he didn't sleep for a day and a night!
Everyone just let him go. Although this was the top of the mountain, they still had to be on guard against attacks from people or wild animals.
Sure enough, not long after Lu Qingqing lay down, Liang Pei's voice rang in her ears.
"Someone is coming at the foot of the mountain."
