Chapter 145: Chapter 146 Big Pot Rice (2)_1

Once the charcoal was blazing hot, Nan Feng began to brush oil onto the wild boar. As the oil dripped into the fire, a sizzling sound rose from below. Then, Nan Feng started preparing the seasonings — cumin powder, pepper powder, soy sauce — and chose a small tree branch to use as a brush. She used it to evenly coat the boar’s meat.

Everyone was curious about Nan Feng’s method. The locals also sometimes roasted their food, but they didn’t use this many seasonings, usually just sprinkling a bit of salt before eating. Yet, the aroma from Nan Feng’s method was so enticing that it could probably be smelled from the fields.

Then, Nan Feng remembered that there was some honey in the kitchen. She went and brought it out, likewise drizzling it over the boar’s meat.

Nan Quanyou asked Nan Feng, "Fengfeng, won’t your way make the food both salty and sweet, and therefore unpalatable?"

Nan Feng waved her hand, "Dad, don’t worry. It will definitely be delicious. I guarantee you’ll want more after tasting it."

Mr. Zhou standing beside them chimed in, "Seeing how confident Feng is, I bet it won’t be bad. Besides, when has meat ever tasted bad? As long as it’s cooked, I’d eat it, haha."

Sima, Aqiu, and the others who were busy in the kitchen were also intrigued by Nan Feng’s method.

Regardless of the taste, just the aroma alone, which could waft for miles, was enough to make one’s mouth water.

Meanwhile, Ye Ge had finished cutting the other half of the boar. Nan Feng asked him to watch the fire, "Ye Ge, I’ve applied all the seasonings, so it should be well-marinated by now. You just need to flip it occasionally, making sure it doesn’t get burnt."

Ye Ge nodded, "Okay!"

With the roast in Ye Ge’s care, Nan Feng took the other half of the boar into the kitchen.

"Sima, we can make a pot of soup from these pig bones, tails, and heart, just add some dried mushrooms. We can stew these pieces of meat with potatoes. Oh, and I have some dried fish too. I think there’s also a wild rabbit in the cellar, I will go get it."

Sima couldn’t help but stop Nan Feng, "Fengfeng, are you treating this like a New Year’s feast? One wild boar is already enough, that’s more than a bowl of meat per person. You don’t need to bring out the rabbit and dried fish, save them for later."

Nan Feng shook her head, "Sima, it’s not like you to look down on our treats, is it?"

"What?" Sima slapped Nan Feng’s head gently and said, "I’m just trying to get you to save some, and here you are accusing me of looking down on your family."

Nan Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, "If you appreciate us so much, why don’t you want to eat our food?"

Aqiu, who was standing beside them, chimed in, "Enough Sima. I know you’re concerned for Feng, but you haven’t seen her tenacity in the mountains. Hunting a couple of rabbits and drying some fish is nothing difficult for her. She can just hunt more after we finish eating."

With that, Sima waved her hand, "Alright then, since you all insist, Fengfeng, go ahead and fetch the food. Go on. If I don’t eat all your meat tonight, I’m not going home!"

"Hahaha..." Laughter broke out in the kitchen, creating a lively atmosphere.

...

Once the rice was cooked and the dishes were ready, Nan Feng headed toward the fields to invite everyone to her house for dinner.

It was a traditional custom in the countryside to serve a meal to those who help with work. Everyone knew that Nan Feng had gone to the mountains specifically to hunt the wild boar and so, not eating it would be a missed opportunity.

Everyone working in the fields came, some even went home to bring their children along. It was only fair as the adults had come to help, their kids naturally should also come and enjoy the meal.

In no time at all, Nan Feng’s courtyard was jam-packed with people.
