Chapter 140 - 140 Another Meal
Of course, now that she had gained some powerful helpers, it was even easier for her to obtain large prey.
However, Mo Ruyue did not intend to frequently enter the mountains to hunt for large prey. Even if this mountain range stretched for dozens of miles and there were countless creatures living in it, it could not withstand her frequent hunting.
In order to maintain the normal food chain in the mountains, Mo Ruyue still decided to appropriately extend the hunting cycle of large prey, especially carnivorous large beasts.
When the villager heard this, he immediately beamed with joy and thanked her repeatedly, “Aiya, Lady Qin, thank you for still being willing to tell me this. No matter what, I have to thank you.”
What Mo Ruyue said was actually the basic qualities that a good hunter should have. No one could easily harvest all the way by relying on luck. If she did not have the basic qualities mentioned above, then rashly entering the mountains to hunt would only lead to death.
“I didn’t teach you anything, but I have a suggestion that you can listen to. Don’t enter the mountain if you’re not prepared. Don’t try to replicate my success with your luck. You’re being responsible for your own life.”
After Mo Ruyue finished speaking, she pushed the cart away without any hesitation. As for whether the villager listened to her, she couldn’t care less. They were all adults and should be able to take responsibility for their own actions.
When she arrived at the door, she heard the sound of reading coming from the courtyard. It was obvious that the babies had not finished class.
Mo Ruyue pushed the cart through the door. Even though she had been very careful not to disturb the children’s class, the cart was still very heavy under the weight of the prey, and the wooden wheels creaked, which still sounded a little harsh.
Now that it was summer, the temperature began to get hot. Although there were thick trees everywhere in the mountains, which could naturally lower the temperature, it was still not friendly for the storage of fresh meat.
The prey couldn’t be put down now. It was reasonable to deal with it immediately after it was caught. Otherwise, the meat would start to rot and give off an unpleasant smell if it was delayed for a long time.
Mo Ruyue recalled that there was already ice-making technology in ancient times, but because the cost was relatively expensive, it was not something that ordinary people could afford. Generally, only rich families could enjoy the coolness of ice in the summer.
“Since we already have ice-making technology, it shouldn’t be too shocking if I build a refrigerator now. Otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee the freshness of meat and food with the current temperature.”
Mo Ruyue muttered to herself as she moved the prey from the cart to the cellar next to the kitchen.
The cellar was dug very deep, and once they entered, they could clearly feel the coolness inside. Before the refrigerator was dug out, this cellar was the best way to preserve food and vegetables in the summer.
Just as she made up her mind to find time to get a simple refrigerator, Du Zhongheng’s voice came from the ‘classroom’. “Alright, that’s all for the morning class. Everyone can rest and prepare for lunch.”
San Bao was the first one to rush out of the house. In fact, he was a little hyperactive. Martial arts practice was the most comfortable and suitable for him. Therefore, it was a very impressive thing for him to be able to sit for the entire morning.
As soon as he rushed out, he saw Mo Ruyue, who had just climbed out of the cellar, covered in dust.
“Mother, you’ve really returned? Just now, when we were in the “classroom,” we heard a very harsh sound outside, but when we remembered that you said to concentrate on your studies, we didn’t look outside. On the other hand, Sir secretly looked outside, but he didn’t tell us.”
As he spoke, the other babies also gathered around. Tang Tang was now the closest to Mo Ruyue. When she saw that her mother’s face was covered in mud, she ran off to wring a wet towel and ran back to hand it to Mo Ruyue.
“Mother, wipe your face.”
Nowadays, she would only say reincarnations occasionally, but most of the time, she spoke like a seven or eight-year-old child.
“Tang Tang is the most considerate.”
Mo Ruyue said affectionately. People always said that daughters were sweet little cotton-padded jackets, and they really weren’t bad at all. Look, only she knew how to wring a wet towel for herself to wipe her face and hands.
Originally, Mo Ruyue wanted to pinch Tang Tang’s face, but seeing that her hands were covered in dust, she gave up on this idea.
“Mother, Sir said today that we can’t call each other ‘Bao’ or ‘Er ‘anymore. We have to get used to our names. We have to call each other by our first names in the future.”
Tang Tang, no, Qin Qingting said seriously.
Mo Ruyue was stunned. She didn’t expect that the rule that Du Zhongheng had set today was that everyone had to call each other by proper names in the future. Although the babies’ names were all very nice to hear, it wasn’t as easy to call them as Da Bao and Tang Tang.
However, since it was Du Zhongheng’s request, she did not have any objections.
“Alright, but I’ll call you Manman from now on. Girls should be separated from boys, right? ”
Mo Ruyue was very insistent on this point. The name Qin Qingting was very nice, and so was Qingting. But Manman was more suitable for the soft and sweet Tang Tang with a milky fragrance.
The boys didn’t have any objection to that. They also felt that Manman was more suitable for Tang Tang.
“Lady Qin, didn’t you say you wouldn’t come back this afternoon? I was thinking of helping the babies heat up their lunch.”
Du Zhongheng only came out of the “classroom” at this time and greeted Mo Ruyue.
He had heard everything that the mother and babies had said just now. He was very pleased that the babies could follow the rules he had set so well. Of course, he did not mind that Mo Ruyue had changed the way she addressed Tang Tang a little.
“I had a good harvest in the mountains today. I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. I thought that the harvest was quite good, so I came back early. I can still make it in time to get two fresh vegetables to eat.”
Before Mo Ruyue left home in the morning, she had already prepared lunch. She originally wanted to heat it up for the babies to eat with Du Zhongheng at noon, but now that she had rushed back, she would make some fresh food for them.
“It seems like I’m in for a treat today.”
Du Zhongheng felt that this was good news for him. At least after trying Mo Ruyue’s cooking once, he would feel like he was chewing on wax no matter what he ate now.
He had just taken a roasted suckling pig from Mo Ruyue yesterday and sent half of it home. Du Zhongheng had eaten the other half himself. Even so, he still felt that it was not enough. He only felt that half a roasted suckling pig was only enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
He didn’t expect to have the fortune to taste it again today. He didn’t know what kind of delicious food Mo Ruyue would make today.
