The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady-Chapter 61



61 How Is Your Family?

It was rare to see Luo Cheng with a friend, so Li Xiaoran was naturally happy for him.

People should have a few friends.

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoran remembered herself.

To be honest, the Host didn’t talk much in the past, so she naturally didn’t have many friends.

Now that she had transmigrated here, she had never interacted with anyone outside. Until now, she didn’t have a single friend!

Come to think of it, she was the pitiful one!

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran felt that she should go and get some delicious food to comfort herself.

Hence, after the group of people packed up and went back, Li Xiaoran looked around the kitchen to see if there was anything delicious to eat.

Yesterday, a group of people had gone up the mountain to hunt some hares and pheasants.

In addition, there was an additional piece of pork belly in the kitchen. She wondered when Luo Cheng had gone to town to buy it.

“Sister, what are we cooking today?” Li Xiaoqing was also quite childish. When she heard that she was going to cook tasty food to reward everyone today, she couldn’t wait to take a look.

“What do you want to eat?” Li Xiaoran looked at her sister and asked.

“I want to eat crispy meat!” Li Xiaoqing immediately replied, “Sis, I used to see other people eating crispy meat during the new year, but our family has never eaten it before! Every time I smell the fragrance of someone cooking crispy meat, I drool!”

Not to mention Li Xiaoqing, even Li Xiaoran’s mouth watered when she heard the mention of crispy meat.

“Yes! Then I’ll make crispy meat. Then, I’ll grill three wild chickens. As for these two rabbits, I’ll roast them!” Li Xiaoran quickly decided on what to eat.

“It’s all meat?” Li Xiaoqing couldn’t help but swallow when she heard what her sister said. She confirmed again, “Isn’t it too much?”

“I’m happy today, so I’ll cook this much! After eating it, I’ll have the strength to earn money tomorrow!” Li Xiaoran decided. “Call Mom over. The three of us will get busy!”

“Okay, I’ll go find Mom!” Li Xiaoqing ran out happily.

“Father, Mother, Brother-in-law, Sister said that she wants to make crispy meat today. She wants to make braised chicken and roasted rabbit!”

As soon as he heard that she was going to roast a rabbit, Luo Han immediately nudged Luo Cheng with his elbow.

“Hey, don’t let Sister-in-law be busy alone! We haven’t lost our rabbit roasting skills! Why don’t we try it today!”

Luo Cheng heard Luo Han’s words and nodded.

“Alright, let’s roast the rabbit! Xiao Qing, just get your sister to prepare other food!”

“Yes, Brother-in-law!” Li Xiaoqing nodded and dragged her mother to the kitchen.

“Then let’s do something too!” Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao felt too embarrassed to sit here and do nothing, so they immediately asked.

“Don’t be too reserved. Just treat this as your home! Look, isn’t there still so much firewood over there? Go chop wood!” Luo Han wasn’t shy. When he saw that Luo Cheng had called the two of them back, he immediately instructed them.

Although Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao were usually idle, they were from farming families. They naturally knew how to chop wood.

The two men nodded at Luo Han, went to Li Shun for the axe, and went to chop wood.

Li Shun didn’t refuse. He brought the two of them to chop wood and told them how to do it more easily.

This time, Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao had learned something.

“I really didn’t expect there to be so much to learn about chopping wood!” Mao Dao couldn’t help but sigh.

“Practice makes perfect! After chopping wood a lot, I gradually gained some experience!” Li Shun replied with a smile.

Seeing that the three of them were chatting, Luo Cheng brought Luo Han along to marinate the rabbit.

If they wanted the roasted rabbit to taste good, it had to be marinated in advance.

While the rabbit was marinating, the two of them found some more stones and built a simple oven. After that, they put firewood in it and burned it into charcoal.

After that, Luo Cheng and Luo Han talked as they roasted.

“I can’t believe that when I’m roasting a rabbit again after all these years, I actually did it here!”

Something occurred to him, and his expression softened.

“The days I miss the most were when I went hunting in the mountains with you all! It was also then that I learned quite a bit of hunting skills from your grandfather. At that time, I never thought that one day, I would actually survive on these hunting skills your grandfather taught me!”

“If Grandfather found out about your current choice, he might jump out of the coffin to point at your nose and curse!” Luo Han said with red eyes as he thought of something.

Luo Cheng knew what Luo Han was upset about. He reached out and patted his shoulder while comforting him. “If he were still alive, he might be happy to enjoy this stable and peaceful life, like me!”

“Cut it out! I don’t believe you!” Luo Han shook off Luo Cheng’s hand, then said with a look of disgust, “Grandfather will scold you for sure!”

“I wish he could stand in front of me and scold me! It’s better than now, where no one really cares about me!” Luo Cheng said dejectedly.

“My grandmother’s birthday is coming up. She’s eighty. Are you coming?” The subject was too heavy for him to continue, so he changed it.

“I’d love to, but you know I can’t!” He shook his head in refusal.

“I knew you’d say that! No wonder my grandmother called you heartless every time she mentioned you!” Luo Han snorted.

When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately imagined a silver-haired old lady holding a walking stick and pointing at him while cursing.

“Is she in good spirits?”

“Yes, she can eat and walk. She even scolds people when she has nothing to do. She’s in better spirits than a young man like me!” Luo Han thought of something and said with a smile, “Let me tell you, it’s a good thing I came here to be a county magistrate. Otherwise, I would have been scolded too! What’s even more terrifying is that my grandmother is also arranging marriages for my elder brother and the others. It scared my elder brother so much that he’s planning to become an official!”

Luo Cheng’s mood improved when he heard Luo Han talk about his family.

In the kitchen, Li Xiaoran first cut the pheasant into pieces and braised it.

After that, she cut the pork belly into strips and prepared to fry the crispy meat.

“Eh, Sister, I saw that other people’s crispy meat are all in lumps. How did you make them into strips?” Li Xiaoqing, who was picking vegetables at the fire, asked curiously.

“You’ll know when I’m done!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile, “There’s a secret to this!”
