Chapter 113 Chapter 113
Ye Qing put a padlock on the kitchen door, not to prevent thieves.
Although there are a lot of grains, meats and wine piled up in the kitchen cellar, people are still simple and honest nowadays, and generally there won't be any thieves breaking into the house to steal.
What's more, Ye Qing's family has two wolf cubs, which have grown up to be very brave and have a much stronger bite force than ordinary dogs, so usually no one dares to run to her house at night to steal things.
The main reason she locked the door was that a weasel sneaked into her cellar and stole sweet potatoes a few months ago.
She wasn't afraid of weasels eating her sweet potatoes, but she was mainly afraid that the weasels might carry germs and ruin the food at home. It would be troublesome if people ate the contaminated food without knowing it and got sick.
So from then on Ye Qing learned her lesson and she had to keep the kitchen door and the window next to the kitchen closed strictly at night.
Unexpectedly, a tiger came down the mountain to visit during the Chinese New Year.
In the middle of winter, Ye Qing did not dare to lock the two wolf cubs in the yard, but always brought them into the house to sleep. At this moment, the two wolf cubs were sleeping soundly in the house. It was not known whether the two guys did not notice that a thief had entered the house, or they knew that they could not beat the tiger and just pretended to be stupid on the kang. In short, the tiger entered their yard, and Ye Qing did not receive any warning at all.
Looking at the big tiger's actions, it seemed like it really wanted to enter her kitchen. The wooden door had been scratched by its claws. There were dozens of deep scratches on the door that were very conspicuous, and Ye Qing couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Fortunately, this big guy was patient and polite. When he found that the door was locked and could not be opened, he just lay quietly in the yard and waited for his master to get up. He did not slap the door forcefully, otherwise the fragile wooden door might not have been able to withstand it.
Ye Qing looked at the big tiger. Although she didn't know how to identify a tiger's appearance and didn't remember what the one she encountered next to the cabin during the hunting looked like, she didn't know why but she had a strong intuition that this uninvited guest who came to her house on New Year's Day was the big insect that bit Liu Zhiqing.
The tiger cub was attracted by the sweet rice porridge she cooked in the cabin. But Ye Qing thought about it carefully and realized that her family had prepared a large table of delicious dishes for the New Year last night, but the only thing that was not cooked was the rice porridge.
Most of the food stored in her cellar was grown by herself in the village. She carefully packed up the spiritual ingredients she grew and hid them tightly in large jars, and then covered them with lids. Even if a little bit of the smell leaked out, it was impossible for it to float so far and be smelled by the big cat in the mountains, right?
So Ye Qing was a little confused at the moment, wondering why this big group of people would come down the mountain to her house so late at night. Ye Qing thought about it carefully and it seemed that her family didn't prepare any ingredients with wood-type spiritual energy yesterday?
Unable to figure it out, Ye Qing gave up thinking about it and simply walked forward tentatively and unlocked the wooden door.
Seeing her approaching, the tiger did not show any ferocious expression. Instead, it moved away like a cat, lowering its head. It even poked its head out and rubbed and sniffed at Ye Qing's feet.
Seeing that this guy was not aggressive, Ye Qing ignored her, opened the kitchen door and let her go in.
She wanted to see what this guy was here for.
Then Ye Qing solved the doubts.
I saw the big cat walking straight towards the pot of fried radish balls on the kitchen stove. When it got there, it raised its chin and stuck out its tongue. It picked up a few balls from the pot and started to devour them, swallowing them in no time.
When Ye Qing saw that the tiger's target was the bowl of meatballs, he couldn't help but slap his forehead and suddenly realized it.
She remembered that although the ingredients of the fried radish balls were green radishes and carrots grown by the production team themselves, the flour was mixed with fine white flour ground from the wheat she secretly grew, so this pot of fried radish balls was crispier, sweeter and more delicious than others.
It was the same as the pot of white porridge in the cabin before. There were too many delicious foods last night, and the radish balls were too filling, so everyone just tasted them a little and put the rest in the bowl, ready to be given as snacks to guests when they come to visit during the first few days of the New Year.
The radish balls are fried in high temperature hot oil, so their aroma is very strong and can be smelled from far away.
When Ye Qing came back from the army farm yesterday, she found the whole yard filled with fragrance, but she only thought the meatballs were delicious at the time and didn't think too much about it. She also didn't expect that the meatballs could attract uninvited guests.
It was estimated that the tiger smelled a sweet and familiar scent in the mountains, followed the scent down the mountain, and went straight to her yard, where it happened to discover the large enamel plate of fried meatballs left in her kitchen. So it wanted to stay in this yard and not leave, right?
Seeing the big cat chewing the meatball with its eyes closed and enjoying it very much, Ye Qing was almost speechless.
How the hell is this any different from a burglary?
Moreover, this big guy was a bit unsportsmanlike. Maybe he felt that the stove was a bit high and it was not convenient for him to eat quickly, so he simply stretched out his claws and tried to knock the big bowl of meatballs to the ground.
Seeing this situation, Ye Qing became anxious and immediately ran forward to stop it.
Hey, this naughty kid, just eat the food, why does he destroy the house?
The radish balls were not worth much, but her enamel basin was new. She had bought it with industrial stamps in town with great difficulty. It was very expensive!
The key is that this thing cannot withstand drops. If it hits the ground, the porcelain will definitely fall off. Once the porcelain falls off, it will be broken. Not only will it be ugly, but the exposed black base will also easily rust. Ye Qing can't bear to throw it away.
Ye Qing quickly stabilized the enamel basin, picked up a tattered old vegetable basket hanging on the wall, poured all the meatballs into the basket, then put the basket on the ground and gestured to the big cat:
"Here, eat! It's all yours!"
The big tiger had just been stopped by Ye Qing from smashing the pot, and thought that Ye Qing didn't want it to eat, so it immediately became unhappy and kept wagging its tail frequently, indicating that its patience was almost exhausted and it might get angry at any time.
As a result, when Ye Qing put a whole basket of meatballs on the ground, its tail immediately dropped down. While eating the meatballs, it rubbed its body against Ye Qing's ankles and stole glances at Ye Qing, using its eyes to convey its good mood to Ye Qing:
I am very happy now. You, my shit-shoveling slave, have served me well!
That arrogant and asking-for-a-punch look made Ye Qing's teeth and hands itch.
So, she was so bold that she smiled cunningly and tentatively stretched out her claws towards the big cat.
If you eat her balls, you always have to pay a price! If you don't rub this golden gradient that comes to your door, when will you?
When he first got the upper hand, the guy dodged and tried to shake off Ye Qing's clutches, but Ye Qing would chase him wherever he hid. Soon the big cat gave up the struggle and focused all its attention on the basket of delicious carrot balls. No matter how Ye Qing harassed him, it would not resist.
Ye Qing had no worries at all now. He rubbed the head of this brainiac first, then touched the butt of this mountain king, and then he touched this golden man all over his body, satisfying his desire.
While Ruaing, she couldn't help but sigh, it's true that petting a big cat feels more pleasurable than petting an ordinary kitten!
The big tiger really didn't expect that the two-legged beast was so shameless that it took advantage of its feeding time to sneak in, pinch its face, and even dared to pinch its buttocks! It's really something that even uncles can tolerate, but aunts can't tolerate!
This guy was glaring at Ye Qing in a pretentious manner, but as soon as he got aggressive, Ye Qing was about to take the basket off the ground in the next second.
How could this guy be willing to give up the delicious food that was right in front of him? His fierce look immediately became humiliating, and he could only sell himself for glory and succumb to the tyranny of the two-legged beast in front of him, allowing Ye Qing to take advantage of him.
When Ye Qing had had enough, he withdrew his hand contentedly, and the big tiger also wolfed down the whole basket of radish balls.
The guy was seen shaking his body to straighten out the hair that had just been messed up by Ye Qing. Then he stood up straight, glanced at Ye Qing disdainfully, walked out of the kitchen with a swagger, jumped out of the yard with a few leaps, and soon disappeared into the woods behind the mountain.
After sending the golden gradient away, Ye Qing came to his senses and found that there were dozens of people standing in and outside his yard.
At this moment, all of them stood there like statues, staring at her in astonishment.
The people in the yard were naturally Song Chunhua and Meng Jia who lived in her house;
Those outside the yard were the villagers of the village who were attracted by the children's screams and were anxiously preparing to bring their families to help fight the tiger.
But at this moment, everyone remained strangely silent.
It was really because the scene of Ye Qing calmly petting the tiger just now was too outrageous and terrifying, which caused a huge impact on the villagers who came to "rescue".
In this world, there are people who dare to touch the ears and buttocks of wild Siberian tigers? Who would believe this? If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the people present would have thought that they were too groggy and hadn't woken up yet!
The old hunters who had gone into the mountains to hunt had said that Ye Qing was protected by Changbai Mountain and that even the fox fairy and the coyote king in the mountains were subservient to her. This story was spread so convincingly that some people in the village believed it, but others scoffed at it.
But at this moment, the fact that Ye Qing petted the big tiger was witnessed by the men, women, and children in the village. It could not be faked. Everyone present looked at each other in surprise. Those who had previously dismissed the rumor that he was blessed by Changbai Mountain were now greatly shocked. They couldn't stop shaking in their hearts and almost knelt down to the girl in the yard on the spot.
I don't know how long I stayed there in a stalemate before someone finally spoke up to break the silence:
"Well, Ye Zhiqing, I have fried a lot of meatballs at home. How about I bring them all to you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers reacted immediately and expressed their desire to send their own fried meatballs over.
Without even waiting for Ye Qing to react, these people all rushed home, fearing that if they were too slow, Ye Qing would not accept their meatballs.
Who could have imagined that a majestic tiger would actually like to eat fried carrot balls? Now that Jin Jianmeng had eaten his fill, what if he came down the mountain to look for food tonight? Ye Qing's family had already eaten all the carrot balls, but they still had a lot left in their homes. Who knew if the big guy would knock on their door in the middle of the night?
They were not like Ye Qing, who could make the tiger squat obediently and let her ravage them. If they were not careful, they would piss off the tiger and let the guy slap them and send them to see King Yan! For a few radish balls, it was really not worth it. It would be better to send them all to Ye Qing and let the tiger eat them directly!
Soon, basket after basket of fried radish balls piled up into a mountain in Ye Qing's house, and there was no room to step in the huge kitchen.
The corners of Ye Qing's mouth twitched, and he almost laughed out loud at these frightened stupid villagers. Faced with this incredible scene, he didn't know how to react for a moment.
