Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 159 Ancient Female Temple (13)

Ji Xiao brought a few people to the forest. A Da looked around first and found a stream not far away with clear water.

Moreover, this place is far away from human habitation, but is located at the junction of the outer and inner areas. Judging from these footprints, there are no birds of prey nearby, mostly animals such as antelopes and deer.

Another person was sent to check the specific situation. Not long after, the person who went out to investigate came back, and Ji Xiao did not get off the horse during this period.

"My dear girl, there are no large wild animals around, mostly small wild animals."

"Okay, let's set up camp here today."

"Yes."

The people accompanying them put away their luggage one by one. Dongchun took out the small pottery jar he carried with him, went to the stream to fetch some water, and returned to the fire to put it on the rack to burn.

Ji Xiao had already taken Banxia and Ada into the woods, and left two guards and Dongchun in the camp to make a fire and prepare food.

It is called hunting, but since it is spring now, it is also the season for animals to reproduce.

So Ji Xiao and the other two didn't hunt anything except catching a few male rabbits and wild roosters.

However, I did pick a lot of Artemisia selengensis with my Pinellia ternata. The Qingming Festival is coming soon, and I can also take it back to make Artemisia selengensis cakes. If you bake it into pancakes without adding oil, it will emit a unique fragrance of Artemisia selengensis, and it tastes good too.

We also picked a lot of other wild vegetables. After all, it is the season when all things come back to life, and the wild vegetables in this season are relatively fresh and tender. After a while, they will become old and not delicious.

"Okay, let's go back! Ah~ I haven't been out for a while, and now I feel much more energetic."

"Yes."

Ji Xiao walked alone in front, talking to herself, and she didn't expect anyone to chat with her.

Banxia, ​​carrying wild vegetables, and Ada, carrying game, followed Ji Xiao silently towards the camp.

Ji Xiao and the other two returned to the camp at 15:00. As soon as Ji Xiao came back, he asked:

"Dongchun, did we bring any flour out today?"

"Yes, but not much."

"Where is it? Take it out so I can use it later."

"Okay." Dongchun said and went to the basket placed aside, opened the basket, took out a small can of flour from it and placed it next to the fire.

Here, Ji Xiao was instructing Banxia to clean the Artemisia selengensis. Originally, Ji Xiao planned to cook it after taking it back, but now that he had flour, he would definitely make some to taste it first.

"Banxia, ​​go wash some Artemisia selengensis, chop it into pieces, rub it with clean water, and squeeze out the moisture so I can use it later.

Ah Da will take someone with you to process the game, and then take someone to help me find a thinner stone, clean it in the stream, and then build a small stove and put the stone slab on top, which I can also use."

"Yes."

The others were busy doing what Ji Xiao instructed, and Ji Xiao also went to the water to wash his hands.

Fortunately, she was not wearing a long-sleeved robe today, but a neat navy blue combat uniform and deerskin boots. Otherwise, with the clothes Ji Xiao usually wore at home, she would definitely have difficulty moving in the dense woods.

At this time, Dongchun handed Ji Xiao a cup of warm water and said, "Girl, drink some water first. It's just right now."

"Ah."

Ji Xiao took the bamboo cup, took a sip, and then continued, "Thank you for your hard work. Are Banxia and the others doing well?"

"Yes, we can drink it when they come back."

Ji Xiao drank water intermittently, looked at the scenery in the distance, emptying his mind, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But soon the people who were looking for the slate had prepared everything and even started a fire.

Banxia had already prepared the ingredients according to Ji Xiao's requirements. Ji Xiao wiped his hands with a wet towel, stood up and walked to Banxia's side.

At this time, Ada had also brought his men to prepare the pheasants and rabbits. Ji Xiao directed them to stuff the pheasants' stomachs with the ingredients that Dongchun had prepared in advance, and then spread a thin layer of salt on the surface.

Then they picked it up with big leaves found on the mountain, covered it with mud, and asked people to pick up more firewood. Then they dug a hole that could hold three chickens, put them in, and made a fire on top. They roasted the chicken below and the rabbit above.

Then Ji Xiao took the cleaned wooden plate and said, "Dongchun, help me pour some flour on this plate. I'll tell you to do it."

"Ok."

After Dongchun finished pouring the flour, Ji Xiao continued, "Okay, put the chopped Artemisia selengensis in, add a little salt, not too much, add a little boiled water, stir evenly until it's a little dry, and then knead it into dough.

Finally, brush a layer of oil on the stone slab, then roll the dough into a small ball and flatten it, place it on the stone slab, be careful not to burn it, fry both sides until slightly browned and the middle is cooked through. "

Under Ji Xiao's command, Dong Chun carried out the operations step by step in an orderly manner.

Except for the first one where the timing and dosage were not controlled well, the pancakes that came out later were perfect.

Looking at Dongchun making pancakes in an orderly manner, Ji Xiao poured herself a glass of warm water and sat on a chair beside her to relax.

In fact, her consciousness has already entered the space and continued to study the I Ching and Feng Shui.

At this moment, a person fell from the sky and landed on the open space next to Ji Xiao with a bang.

Hearing the sound, Ada and Banxia hurried over, and Ji Xiao also quickly came back to his senses.
