Chapter 28 -28: Delicacies

Madam Liu watched as the three young children’s stomachs grumbled with hunger, yet they politely refrained from starting to eat, which made her smile involuntarily.

This coarse grain was leftover from their family’s spring hunting trip into the mountains; the food they took was calculated based on the days they would spend there, so there wasn’t much left.

Just now, her father-in-law had asked her to cook the last of the coarse grains, and Madam Liu felt somewhat reluctant to do so.

After all, they didn’t know how long it would take to get to Cold City, and if they ate the coarse grain now, what would they do later?

However, Old Uncle Qiu insisted that she cook it.

Now, seeing the cherishable expressions on the faces of the three siblings, she suddenly didn’t feel the pain of parting with the grain; she finally understood her father-in-law’s good intentions.

Seeing the way the Bai siblings were, the father-in-law must have thought of Xiao Shan and felt especially sorry for them.

In fact, the Bai siblings hadn’t tasted such coarse mixed grain porridge for a very long time; drinking it now felt like a lifetime had passed.

Upon receiving instructions from Madam Liu, they began to eat slowly, bite by bite. Although their movements were small, they ate quickly.

Xiao Shan, influenced by them, also hurriedly scooped up the porridge in his bowl.

Qiu Er and Qiu San had pushed a cart all morning and were also very tired. Being young men, they normally ate a lot, and with such a meal, they ate even more.

Madam Liu had cooked a large pot of coarse grain porridge, which was gone in no time.

When the porridge was finished, the roasted wild boar was also ready.

Qiu Da pulled out a sharp small knife from his waistband; he had probably carried this knife for some time, so he used it very smoothly.

In a swift motion, the half-fanned wild boar meat immediately turned into ribs.

He first sliced off thick pieces of meat to shave into thin slices for everyone’s bowl, then cut the ribs into individual pieces—adults got one large rib each, children two smaller ones.

The ribs, marbled with fat and lean meat and smoked over wood fire, were crispy and golden brown from the soy sauce marinade.

When Bai Junjun received her portion, she couldn’t control her salivation.

Earlier, when Qiu Er was preparing the raw meat, she had smelled a strong odor of blood, but now the cooked wild boar emitted a tremendously enticing sauce aroma, a complete transformation from the raw scent.

Bai Junjun couldn’t identify the flavor, but knew it was one that immediately brought sensory pleasure.

She gently bit into the rib, and her eyes instantly widened.

“So… so delicious!”

Bai Junjun couldn’t help but exclaim.

Previously, she thought that the frogs and snakes Bai Sasa cooked were very delicious, but after tasting the boar marinated in wine and sauce, the Qiu family’s roasted boar instantly replaced Sasa’s frogs and snakes.

Regarding the seasoning, Bai Junjun found it fascinating.

The food was originally smelly and bland, but how did adding wine and soy sauce transform it so completely?

The roast was crisp with a note of salty freshness, complementing the springy texture of the meat. If you tasted carefully, you could even detect the aroma of sorghum wine soaked into the marrow.

All in all, this flavor completely won Bai Junjun over.

Old Uncle Qiu, hearing Bai Junjun’s praise, couldn’t help but joke, “This is nothing. If we had some cumin and pepper and brushed it with some honey, it would taste even better.”

Xiao Shan’s eyes lit up at the mention of honey, “I like eating honey.”

In the past, when his dad went hunting in the mountains, he would always bring back beehive for him.

The kids in the mountains really liked eating honey, and just talking about it made their mouths water uncontrollably.

However, such “wild tastes” were scorned by the Shi clans, not to mention the First Shi Clan, the Bai Yang Clan.

Thus, when the Bai siblings saw Xiao Shan get so excited about honey, they all burst into laughter, showing bewildered expressions.

However, Old Uncle Qiu mistook their reaction, thinking they had forgotten about honey due to the long days of fleeing hardship.
