Shao Sanlang could not help but speak up. “We have harvested a lot today. Fifth
Sister-in-law, what about doing a grill in our backyard tonight?”
They had been making different kinds of dishes during the New Year, and they tried grilling once, which left a good impression on everyone.
Now they had a spacious place, much easier to grill.
Everyone nodded, as they heard Shao Sanlang’s suggestion.
Grilling was a lot of fun and delicious. It appealed to everyone’s taste buds. No one could turn it down.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Ok, let’s go down now. Or we will have no time to marinate the meat!”
“Sure!”
“Let’s go home now!”
Seeing that everyone was laughing and cheering together, Ms. Yan smiled but felt jealous. She did not think that her own family could be as close as them.
Qiao Xuan smiled at her and offered. “Join us!”
Ms. Yan did want to join them, but she shook her head and smiled. “Next time. It is getting cold and it won’t be ok to leave home at night.”
It was not a good thing for her to go to the first section of the family alone at night.
She could hide it from everyone else, except for her husband.
But the first section of the family did not invite her husband, and she could not possibly mention it to them herself.
But it was not the first section of the family’s fault. The second section of the family was too annoying and unfriendly to them before. She was already quite happy that Taotao and Qiao Xuan accepted her so fast.
She could take it slow to mend the relationship.
Obviously, Qiao Xuan and her family had thought about this as well. So they did not insist.
On the way home, they dug up some fresh yams, winter bamboo and went home with the harvest.
Qiao Xuan felt a bit sad about the lack of fresh vegetables.
It was not time to eat different kinds of wild vegetables. When spring came, they could eat ferns, spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, dandelion seedlings, shepherd’s purse, Chinese toons, wild onions, wild leeks, cress etc.
Back at home, Ms. Fang smiled. “You are back early today. Oh, you got so many things!”
Shao Sanlang smiled. “We came home early to grill!”
Ms. Fang laughed. “No wonder you are home early. You are greedy for delicious food! It must have been your idea!”
Everyone laughed.
It was always Shao Sanlang who came up with the idea about food.
Ms. Fang picked three winter bamboos, one wild rooster and one wild rabbit to let Ms. Yan take back home.
Ms. Yan turned her down, but Ms. Fang smiled. “You can’t go home empty handed, right? We have many things, just take them!”
Ms. Yan thanked her and left.
When Ms. Yan was gone, they started to do a series of labor work including boiling water to remove hair, picking vegetables from the garden, preparing charcoal fire and wire, as well as lighting up the stove.
Ms. Xu’s belly had not yet stuck out. This baby did not stir up a lot of trouble in her stomach, so she was fine and could eat all kinds of things.
Qiao Xuan and Qi started to prepare the grill, which attracted Ms. Xu’s attention, who helped with preparations as well.
They had 13 wild roosters, eight wild rabbits, roosters and pigeons and five other big wild birds.
They gave away two to Ms. Yan but still had many left. They could not finish them in one go. So, Qiao Xuan decided to salt them and hang them up to turn them into smoked food.
Only when they were smoked could they be kept for a longer time..
