Chapter 146 A Hill of Rabbits

Several sisters-in-law came back soon and put the remaining wild animals in their backpacks. Jiang Haixia walked briskly with the backpacks filled with roe deer on her back.

The group went down the mountain and went to Lin Qingqing's house by chance.

The door is closed.

Sister Xiuhong knocked on the door. She had just brought back those wild animals, which scared Honghua.

After Xiuhong left, she quickly closed the door and locked it.

Honghua opened the door timidly, and when she saw there were several people there, she opened the door wide.

Several people hurried in, and Honghua locked and closed the door again.

Honghua looked at the heavy baskets of the people, licked her lips, and stood there watching them unload the baskets and take out things.

There was already a small pile of wild animals next to the water pump, and several people piled the wild animals they had just brought back on top of it.

Just now, this pile of wild animals was covered by grass on the mountain, and it looked like a huge pile. Now it is on the flat ground in the yard, and it looks even more spectacular when it is scattered all over the place.

Lin Qingqing asked Jiang Haixia: "Can you peel the skin?"

Jiang Haixia: "I'll do it." After saying that, she pulled out a knife from her waist, opened the leather sheath, and began to deal with the deer.

It's only a little after eight o'clock and it's still early, so Sister Xiuhong, Sister Xiaoli and Sister Yinghong went up the mountain again.

They didn't bring back many herbs from their two trips down, so they had to go up the mountain again in the morning.

After the people left, Lin Qingqing went to the kitchen to cut the pork she bought yesterday. After cutting, she carried the chopping board and chopped the meat on the bluestone slab in the yard.

Jiang Haixia squatted alone beside the water pump, busy peeling deerskin.

Honghua and Xiaomei were collecting herbs under the pergola, and would look up at Jiang Haixia from time to time.

Honghua raised an eyebrow towards the water pump and asked softly, "I heard Xiuhong say that she pumped all these buckets by herself?"

Lin Qingqing nodded.

Honghua got the confirmation and swallowed, thinking back to the first time she met Jiang Haixia. Her eyes were so cold and sharp that even on such a hot day she felt a chill down her spine.

"My sisters-in-law came over to eat dumplings at noon today. I'll share some with everyone and take some back."

Honghua took another look at the pile of wild animals and said bluntly, "Hey."

Jiang Haixia quickly peeled off a complete deerskin, which was then processed by Jiang Haixia and nailed to the wall on the other side of the vegetable garden to dry in the sun.

She went to peel the skin of a roe deer. There were few roe deer in the summer, so she could use the skin to pad Lin Qingqing's mattress to prevent moisture, and could also put it under the sheets to keep warm in the winter.

After Lin Qingqing had chopped the meat, Jiang Haixia also processed the roe deer skin and nailed it next to the deerskin to dry.

Lin Qingqing took some green onions and potatoes to cut, then added the meat, and added some seasoning to make the dumpling filling.

She didn't chop the meat too finely because people here like to eat dumplings with granular meat filling.

After Jiang Haixia peeled two large ones, she could peel more small ones.

Xiaomei turned her back and didn't watch when Jiang Haixia was skinning the deer because it was too bloody.

For a moment, the yard was filled with the sounds of chopping vegetables and the sizzling sounds of people talking.

Before Lin Qingqing had even shredded the potatoes, she had already finished peeling the rabbit.

At this time, Xiuhong and several sisters-in-law also came back. They didn't dig many herbs the first time they went up the mountain, so they dug more this time.

As soon as they came in, they saw a basin of blood-red rabbit meat piled up like a small mountain.

Jiang Haixia was still scraping the grease off the rabbit skins. Sister Xiuhong put down the backpack and asked Xiaoli and Yinghong to wash the herbs while she washed the rabbits.

"Qingqing, are all these rabbits dried and stored whole?"

"Yes, I'll start cutting the potatoes." Lin Qingqing quickened her movements.

Sister Xiuhong looked at the pheasant on the ground and said, "I'll wash the rabbit first and hang it on the wall to dry. You go cut the vegetables and boil some water to scald the chicken."

Lin Qingqing: "Tuo."

Sister Xiuhong took out a knife from the kitchen, gutted the rabbit, took out the internal organs, put them in a small basin, and put the gutted rabbit back into the basin.

At this time, Sisters Xiaoli and Yinghong were also busy. They had long been numb to the sight of the pot of rabbits that looked like a small mountain.

One of the sisters-in-law washed the gutted rabbit, while the other strung the washed rabbits together and hung them on the wall to dry.

The three of them worked together, and the number of rabbits sticking out of the basin gradually decreased...

While Lin Qingqing was busy, she went to the kitchen to boil some water and feed the pheasant later.

Xiaomei and Honghua were about to come and help, but were stopped by Lin Qingqing.

The water in the kitchen boiled, and Lin Qingqing took a scoop and a bucket, carried the water from the yard and poured it into the basin.

Sister Xiaoli quickly put a dozen pheasants into the basin and turned them over and over with a stick to ensure that the chickens were evenly cooked.

Lin Qingqing brought another bucket of water and poured it in, so that the water was almost level with the chicken.

I can pull them out when the water cools down a bit. Now there are more than ten rabbits hanging on the wall, high and low.

Seeing that there were still a dozen rabbits in the basin, Lin Qingqing said, "Sister-in-law Xiuhong, don't dry the rest. Give one to each of you sisters-in-law to take home. We'll also roast rabbits for lunch."

"Oh." Xiuhong stopped.

Lin Qingqing went back to the house, poured out a few bowls of tea, and handed a bowl to each sister-in-law.

Seeing Jiang Haixia still scraping rabbit fat on the ground, she said, "Drink some water and take a break before you continue."

Jiang Haixia: “No need.”

The sisters-in-law smiled at each other. Sister Xiuhong nodded at Jiang Haixia and gave her a thumbs up.

Sister Yinghong took two sips of water and put the bowl down on the bluestone slab. "Leave the chicken plucking to me. I'm quick."

Xiuhong smiled: "You are amazing."

This made everyone in the yard burst into laughter. Yinghong glanced at Xiuhong and said, "I'm awesome, why are you jealous?"

Lin Qingqing also smiled faintly. Sister Yinghong has a genuine personality.

Sister Xiuhong stopped talking nonsense. She drank the water in her bowl in one gulp and said, "I'll knead the dough. Qingqing, please don't stop me from doing it, or I'll feel bad if I take a rabbit."

Lin Qingqing: Everyone likes to work or something.

She rolled up her sleeves and walked to the kitchen, tied on an apron, came out with a basin, asked Lin Qingqing where the noodles were, scooped out a large basin of noodles, and placed the basin on the bluestone slab to knead the dough.

Xiaoli and sister-in-law Yinghong squatted down to pluck the chicken's flesh, and put the plucked flesh into the basin that had just contained the rabbits. Lin Qingqing took a knife and gutted the chicken, taking out the internal organs, and threw them into the basin with the rabbits. She would give them to whichever sister-in-law wanted them.
