Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

The little girls were closer to their eldest brother and unanimously agreed that the little donkey's name would be "Little Fire Bun".

Little Firecracker lay on the ground, trembling all over, his head tilted to one side, not daring to look in the direction of the big donkey.

The male donkey, whose identity was unknown (whether it was its father or its uncle), had been dismembered into eight pieces, and Chang Dashan was chopping the bones with a loud thud.

Chang Mu had experience with this; when her family slaughtered a goose before, she scared the remaining little white goose half to death.

She ran to Little Fireball, covered its eyes with her little hands, and murmured, "Little Fireball, don't be afraid, we won't eat you, we'll only eat your dad..."

Seeing that Xiao Huoshao didn't resist, Chang Qing, Xiao Shui, and Xiu'er surrounded him, laughing and patting his head and back.

"Its fur feels so soft to the touch!"

"Look at its tail, it's so cute wagging back and forth!"

The most impressive one was Xiuer. She shuffled her short legs toward climbing onto Xiao Huoshao's back, humming, "I have a chicken, a cat, and a fish in my nest..."

Liu Meifen tugged at Xiu'er and tapped her forehead, saying, "I think you're the naughtiest one in the family. You can't just ride the little firecracker like that, understand?"

The little donkey has just arrived home and isn't used to it yet. If it accidentally throws the little girl off its back, it'll be no laughing matter.

After an hour or so of cleaning, the male donkey was almost completely butchered.

The whole family was starving. Chang Kun cut off a large piece of pork tenderloin, sliced ​​it into thin slices, and instructed Chang Qing to boil water in a pot.

First, pour the thirteen-spice seasoning into several bowls. After the water boils, Chang Kun put the meat into the boiling water one small piece at a time.

The meat slices are cut extremely thin, and they're cooked in just over ten seconds in the blanch.

After scooping them out and setting them aside, Chang Kun picked up a piece, put it in his mouth without dipping it in any sauce, and tilted his head back.

After chewing a few bites, I shook my head slightly, feeling that this donkey meat was overrated and tasted far inferior to Feilong meat.

It has a more delicate texture than beef, and the taste is not as gamey as mutton. It has a unique aroma, but that's about it.

Thinking about it carefully, it's normal that dragon meat tastes better than donkey meat, since dragons were eaten into becoming a first-class protected animal in later generations and were never successfully domesticated.

After eating another slice of meat dipped in sauce, I felt it wasn't as good as the meat boiled in plain water.

Chang Qing, who was tending the fire nearby, was drooling with envy. He looked up at Chang Kun and asked, "Brother, is it delicious? Let me try it for you."

"It's just so-so, not as delicious as I imagined." Chang Kun picked up a slice of meat and stuffed it into Chang Qing's mouth.

Chang Dashan, who was outside, overheard this and laughed: "There are people who say the meat doesn't taste good? That's really strange."

"Dad, you haven't heard the story of the golden hoe, have you? Even though everyone is starving now, there are still plenty of people who are tired of eating meat."

When Chang Mu, Chang Xiu, and Xiao Shui saw their eldest brother start telling a story, they stopped touching their little fire-baked buns and ran back to the main room. Each of them grabbed a piece of meat and fed it to their parents and eldest sister. Then they obediently returned to their eldest brother's side to eat donkey meat and wait to hear the story.

"The story goes that in ancient times, some farmers were discussing the good life the emperor lived. Someone said that the emperor must be hoeing the ground with a golden hoe every day..." Chang Kun told the story to a few young girls while simmering slices of meat.

"Wow! That person is so stupid! The emperor certainly doesn't need to hoe the fields and can eat meat every day!" Chang Qing's mouth was stuffed full of meat, and his tone was slightly disdainful.

Chang Kun laughed heartily: "If that's the case, then you eat meat every day, you're practically the same as an emperor!"

Liu Meifen's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Xiao Kun, you can't just say things like that!"

People who have lived through turbulent times are very cautious, afraid that a single careless word might bring disaster upon themselves.

"Okay, Mom, don't wash the flatbread anymore. Dad, eldest sister, come in and eat some meat."

The little girls were already dipping their food in the sauce themselves, and for them, the aroma of the sauce was simply irresistible.

Chang Dashan washed his hands, went into the main room, took a bite of the meat slice, and nodded slightly: "I've heard that donkey meat is delicious since I was a child. Today, our family is finally able to eat it. But why does it taste not as good as pork?"

These days, everyone is lacking in oil and meat. Pork has a much higher fat content than donkey meat, and it tastes more flavorful.

But if a true gourmet were to choose, they would definitely prefer donkey meat, not only for its delicate texture but also for its unique aroma that leaves a lasting impression.

Liu Meifen chewed on a slice of meat, glanced at Chang Kun, and said, "Xiao Kun, is this meat just so-so? It's not worse than pork!"

Chang Kun shook his head: "Mother, while most people are still thinking about filling their stomachs, some people are already tired of eating pork."

"Take Director Wang of the neighborhood office, for example. There are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, officials like her in Beijing. Do you think she'd be short of pork? Every time I see her, she asks me if I have deer penis, lamb kidneys..."

Liu Meifen glared at her son. What was he saying in front of the little girl? Luckily, they were too young to understand.

"I don't care about others anymore. As long as my family can eat our fill and stay warm, I'm content." Liu Meifen sighed as she recalled the days when she was hungry and had to eat locust flowers.

Chang Kun leaned close to his father and whispered, "Dad, please clean up that donkey whip for me. I'll take it to Director Wang later. You don't need it anyway."

Chang Dashan smacked Chang Kun on the head: "You brat, how dare you tease your dad!"

He laughed a few times, patted his waist, and whispered in Chang Kun's ear, "But your dad really doesn't need that thing."

That evening, the family ate nothing but hot donkey meat. Everyone ate until their bellies were round and full.

"Big brother, this is so delicious!" Chang Qing leaned against Chang Kun, feeling lazy all over.

Xiuer leaned against the other side, her head nodding off.

Xiao Shui looked on with envy, thinking to herself, "If only I had an older brother, I could lean on him and act spoiled."

Chang Kun, with his arms around the two little girls, opened the system to check. Today's hunting had been a great success, and the system rewards were plentiful.

[Ding! 1/1 wild wolf captured. Reward: 20 jin of wolf tooth potatoes.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1140 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2900 meters.]

[Ding! Wild boar 1/1 captured, reward: 5 catties of garlic-flavored pork belly.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1160 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2950 meters.]

[Ding! Wild donkey 1/1 captured, reward: 5 jin of donkey meat steamed dumplings.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1180 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 3000 meters.]

[Ding! Robber captured 1/1, reward: Danger Intuition - The host will have a strong intuitive reaction when facing danger.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1200 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 3050 meters.]

The food rewards from the system are dispensable to Chang Kun, but the skills are a different story.

This dangerous instinct skill perfectly compensates for Chang Kun's weakness, ensuring that he will never again be nearly shot in the mountains like he was today.

The system is genuinely afraid of dying... It just encountered danger today, and immediately rewarded itself with the corresponding skill.

Just then, a new notification popped up from the system.

[Ding! Sensing range exceeds 3,000 meters, system upgrade in progress...]

The system needs another upgrade?!

Chang Kun was delighted and gave Xiu'er a quick kiss on the cheek.

Xiuer was woken up by a kiss, and groggily chuckled, "Big brother, it's all drool..."
