Chapter 117 Pan stove
Chapter 117 Pan stove
While the others were working hard and sweating in the sweet potato field, Shu Xiaoxiao and Huo Feng took two guards to the back mountain to catch wild boars. Several other guards were responsible for setting up a stove in the yard and collecting firewood in preparation for slaughtering the pigs later.
The guards were also helpless. They were very serious guards. Even though Chief Huo had some cooking skills, he would never go into the kitchen except when the prince was out and it was inconvenient for him to cook something.
As a result, after Young Master Ye came, not only did Chief Huo change his career to become a chef, but they also started to set up the stove.
However, although they felt a little helpless, they did not have any resentment and were even quite looking forward to it.
They are guards, and when their master goes out, they have to follow him and sleep in the open air and eat dry food. When the master does not go out, they also need to be on duty and stay in the dark to protect the master. As for the food, they will not go hungry, but the food is not that good.
Those who can be bodyguards do not have a good family background. Most of them are children from poor families or orphans. They are not very wealthy. After all, anyone with a little wealth will not let their children live a life of risking their lives.
With their usual salary, those who have families need to support them; those who are orphans also want to save some money for emergencies, or save some money to marry a wife, which would be considered perfect. Very few of them would spend their salary on extravagant eating and drinking.
But since Young Master Ye came, although there was more work to do, Young Master Ye no longer kept any delicious food to himself, and sometimes he would even teach them how to improve their meals.
Just like the salted duck eggs before, Young Master Ye did not keep them for himself. Not only did he directly tell them the pickling method, he also took them to find a lot of wild eggs and pickled them, and they all had a share.
Having one when eating is much better than eating dry food alone.
Although they have more work to do now, they feel full of energy when they think about the food that Young Master Ye mentioned.
This time they were going to have the pig-killing meal, so they just had to help set up the stove and do some work. With Young Master Ye here, they would definitely be able to have enough to eat.
They had never eaten slaughtered pig dishes, but after hearing Young Master Ye's description of the taste, which contained meat, they felt their mouths watering more, and they became even more motivated to work on the stove.
......
Shu Xiaoxiao never expected that when she was craving for food, she would ask Huo Feng to improve her diet. Because she felt embarrassed to eat alone, she would find more ingredients. After all, finding ingredients in the mountains was as convenient as having her own vegetable garden.
The ingredients were easy to find and she didn't have to cook. She just had to open her mouth and it wasn't too tiring. Huo Feng was strong and not afraid of trouble, so sometimes they made a little more and usually left a portion for the guard on duty.
Unexpectedly, these guards attributed the credit to her, and they formed a good relationship with her.
She is now hunting with Huo Feng with an excited look on her face!
For a pig-killing dish, there must be a pig!
If Huo Feng were allowed to go, with his skills, hunting would definitely be no problem, but he was not sure whether he could hunt a wild boar.
If she followed, she only needed to ask the flowers and plants, or just let Shenbao lead the way. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to find a wild boar?
Moreover, she has been learning archery for several months and has been practicing at the target. Her accuracy is getting better and better, but it is also a bit boring. This time, with Huo Feng following her, she can just try out her archery skills without worrying about her safety.
If all else fails, there is still Huo Feng, who can kill the wild boar anyway.
