The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

When he got home, Gu Danian had already cleaned up the yard and even plucked up the weeds in the corners. Seeing Gu Qi coming back, he happily said:

"This yard is tidy up, it's bigger than it looks at first. Dad will go up the mountain tomorrow to chop some wood. Let's build a shed first so that we can pile up firewood."

"Listen to you." Gu Qi nodded, he definitely didn't understand the way of life in this era himself.

He took out the two pheasants and put them in the shade first. Gu Qi went to the backyard to clean up the mountain's ears and the elm's ears. After they were cleaned up, they could be dried in the sun.

The front yard is large, put up a simple shelf, and use a dustpan to dry it. If the sun is hot, it will be almost enough to dry it for two to three days.

Dustpans are porous so that water can flow down without accumulating under the ears.

During this period, it needs to be turned over and dried several times a day, and it cannot be motionless, which is easy to rot.There is no machine dryer now, so naturally it will be more troublesome.

After packing up the mountain goods, Gu Qi came into the kitchen and planned to make dinner in advance.Lunch was in a hurry because I just moved in, and I only ate a few nests to make do, so the evening meal naturally had to be better.

Now that he is not on the road to escape, Gu Qi has no intention of treating him badly.

When purchasing rice grains in He Song Town yesterday, Gu Qi even bought some with soot, sauce and vinegar, and also some ginger, shallots, etc.

Now that there are enough seasonings, it is not like the road with less salt and less ingredients. You can only cook the meat for simple barbecues, and it can be eaten by people.

Shiitake mushrooms were not found, but the bamboo fungus was delicious enough.Chickens don't have one, pheasants have one.

Just make a bamboo fungus stewed pheasant.

After blanching the pheasant and removing the hair, clean the internal organs and cut the ginger and shallots for later use.

The bamboo fungus didn't last long, so Gu Qi cleaned it all at once and put it aside, keeping half of the stewed chicken, and half of the soup alone.

The large pot on the stove, Gu Danian, had been polished and cleaned in advance. After Gu Qi cut the pheasant into pieces, he poured the oil into the pot to heat it, and poured the chicken pieces into the pot and fry for a while.

Then pour in the sauce and stir-fry for a few times, then add the bamboo fungus, ginger, shallots, and add water.

After the fire is boiled, start to simmer on low heat for about a quarter of an hour, as long as you don't let the water simmer dry, and wait for the chicken to be tender and tender.

Bamboo Sun Soup is simpler. After simmering, add salt and shallots. Although it is lighter, it is enough to match with rice.

Today, it was too late to wash the rice and cook, so Gu Qi posted a few pancakes. The father and daughter took the pancakes and simmered the pheasant soup with bamboo fungus, and the bamboo fungus clear soup. This meal was also very satisfying.

......

The next day, Gu Danian took the cakes and shochu bought from He Song Town the day before, and another pheasant left by Gu Qi yesterday to the village chief Li Shanfu’s house, while Gu Qi came in early in the morning when there were few people. Deep in the South Mountains.

There were no traces of man-made damage in the several traps set up yesterday, and of course, the goat that Gu Qi was thinking about yesterday was not caught.

Instead, two more pheasants fell, and a half-dead marmot was found.

He took out the things and threw them into the basket, and re-arranged the traps. Gu Qi continued to walk deeper. Today, he entered the mountain early, so he could take a good look inside the Nanshan Mountain.

With Gu Qi's current skills, as long as she doesn't encounter the blind bear and the wolf, the common prey is not a big threat to her.

Even if you encounter a wild boar, you can run away if you can't beat it.

Gu Qi was mainly still thinking about the wild goat he saw yesterday. It wasn't in the trap, and naturally it was still in the mountains.

The pheasants are not worth a lot of money, so you can keep them for yourself, but if you send them to town on purpose, it's not worth it.If you want to make money, you still have to get big.

In fact, Gu Qi was more concerned about the wild deer that he had hunted on the road before.It's just that wild mountain deer are only rarer than other prey, and they are not easy to find. It is a big luck to meet them once.

And goats are different. Goats are not rare species. If there is one, there will be a group of them.

And goats can be domesticated. If you catch a female, you can squeeze some goat milk.

Wild goats have strong foraging ability and like to climb steep mountain walls. They are interested in all kinds of mountain grasses, shrubs, branches and leaves, and even fruits and vines. Gu Qi will look for those places.

And goats like cleanliness, love dryness, and hate dirt and moisture, so the range is narrowed again.

Gu Qi was patient today, and was not in a hurry to find it.Along the way, I also found some useful medicinal materials, which were not worth much. They were dried and used for later use. They could also be boiled and used when the spleen and stomach were not good in the future.

......

"It turns out that here, hard work pays off."

After half an hour, he found a half-steep mountain wall, and Gu Qi finally found the wild goat he longed for along the way.

In a small group, there are six or seven goats, both male and female, and the strongest ram is the leader of the group of goats.

The leader is not easy to deal with, it is not Gu Qi's target this time, what Gu Qi wants is the tailed sheep at the back.

Seeing that she is young, it is a little ewe. If you are lucky enough to catch it alive, you will take it back and let Gu Danian raise it.

If you want to survive, you can't use a dagger. Fortunately, last night, Gu Danian had nothing to do and rubbed some straw ropes. When he entered the mountain this morning, Gu Qi brought a long spare, which just came in handy now.

After circling the straw rope, Gu Qi narrowed his eyes, aiming the slingshot at the calf of the little-tailed sheep.Afraid of being injured and disabled, Gu Qi deliberately chose the smallest stone.

"Bah!" The stone flew out and hit the goat's forefoot with precision.

The lamb was in pain, and instantly fell to the ground with an exclamation.

At the same time, the exclamations of the little goats also stimulated the several adult goats in front of them, running around.

Just the right time!

The rope flew out of Gu Qi's hand, and when the adult goat in front was panicking and didn't react, he took the lead in wrapping it around the neck of the little goat, and then pulled it hard to prevent the little goat from having a chance to escape.
