"Jumped out?" He Xuebin looked at Xu Qi in shock.
"That's right. I just wanted to milk the goat, but before I could do anything, it broke free from the rope and jumped out of the sheep pen." Xu Qi still couldn't believe it.
"But if I remember correctly, isn't the sheep pen more than one meter high?" He Xuebin still found it hard to imagine.
"Yes." If Xu Qi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the goat would suddenly jump out of the sheep pen while he was squatting down to milk it, and run wildly all over the courtyard.
"So what should we do now?" He Xuebin looked at the goat being held down by Lu Yang and the others and asked, "Should we take it back to the sheep pen?"
"Wait, tie it up with a rope first, or I'm afraid it will run away again."
Hearing this, the staff on the side quickly went to find a roll of hemp rope, put a loop around the goat's neck, and then slowly brought it over.
I don’t know if it knew there was no hope of escape, but the goat immediately calmed down after being tied up with a rope. Otherwise, they had just seen the goat running wildly with their own eyes, and they would definitely not believe that this well-behaved guy was the same one as before.
But even if it was trying to be good, Xu Qi didn't dare to go forward to milk the goat, because he was afraid that if he accidentally provoked this guy, he would be kicked by its hind legs, and his small body would not be able to withstand the blow.
But the more he thought about it, the more he became dissatisfied: "No, I can't drink goat milk, but can't I eat meat?"
"Eat meat?" Xu Anjia looked at Xu Qi expectantly: "Dad, are you talking about mutton?"
"Yes, drinking mutton soup in October is the most nourishing." Xu Qi gritted his teeth and looked at the guy tied in the yard.
Maybe it was because Xu Qi's gaze was too naked, but the goat couldn't help but grind its hooves uneasily.
Xu Qi looked at it and said in a rare childish tone, "Haha, I told you not to milk the goat for me. Now you're scared, right?"
"Mee~" the goat called out to Xu Qi a few times.
"It's too late. I'm going to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys today. I'm going to kill the other goat and stew it into soup!" Xu Qi said.
[Amazing! I thought Director Xu was going to kill this goat, but I didn't expect...]
[Tsk tsk, Director Xu, you are not good enough. ]
[Forget it, I can't expect too much from Director Xu.]
[Oh my god, Director Xu, you're not still holding out hope for goat milk, are you?]
[Of course, Director Xu kept this goat just to provide nutrition for Tiantian and the others. It's a shame they lost their first battle before it even started. Now they can only dream of another goat.]
[That's true, but do you know who among them would slaughter a sheep?]
[Xiao Lu can kill chickens and rabbits, but goats...]
[I have a bad feeling...]
[Will they not even be able to eat mutton soon?]
[Anyway, I'll just offer my condolences to them first~]
Under the expectant gaze of the audience, Xu Qi and his team once again came to the sheep pen and looked at the goat they had brought back from the mountains yesterday.
He Xuebin looked at the goat calmly chewing grass roots and asked Xu Qi, "Director Xu, what should we do now?"
"Well..." Xu Qi looked at Lu Chuanbei silently: "Xiao Lu, can you slaughter a sheep?"
Lu Chuanbei shook his head: "Uh, I haven't killed anyone."
Hearing this, Xu Qi looked towards He Xuebin and Fang Xiuzhu again: "Old He and Old Fang~"
"Don't look at me, I can hardly even kill a chicken." He Xuebin quickly took a step back and said.
"I can give it a try, but my technique might be a little awkward, and you can't blame me if the goat runs around the courtyard half-dead."
"Oh my god, forget it. I suddenly feel that it's okay for me not to eat mutton." Xu Qi didn't want to see the scene of a goat running wildly and then see another sheep's blood spilled in the courtyard.
"Huh?" Xu Anjia was disappointed: "I thought I could drink mutton soup."
Look at Jia Jia, and then look at the variety show next door. She's so old, but she still calls Yang Yang in a sly voice. How cute is that? Why would she eat Yang Yang's flowers? I can only say that Jia Jia is a genuinely good girl.
[Fuck, this is visually appealing!]
[Oh my god, stop talking, or the soy milk and fried dough sticks in my hand won’t taste good.]
[Right, right, right. Let's not talk about other shows. Let's just keep guessing whether Director Xu and his team can eat mutton.]
They definitely can't do it on their own, but if they hire outside help, they might still have a chance.
[Requesting external assistance?]
"Yeah, didn't you see those two guys holding the goat? With their bodies, skills, and temperament, they should have no problem handling a goat, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. My dad is over 1 meter tall, so he can easily take down a few people, but he can't even catch a fish at home."
[Yes, suppression and slaughtering sheep are the same thing, so I guess they probably have no chance of eating goat meat~]
Just as the audience in the live broadcast room were speculating that Director Xu and his friends couldn't eat goat meat, Professor An, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Actually, there are ways to eat goat meat."
"What method?" Xu Anjia looked at him expectantly.
"Slaughter the sheep." Professor An said it straightforwardly.
"But no one here knows how to slaughter sheep." Xu Anjia said disappointedly.
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't." Professor An's words immediately raised the expectations of Xu Qi and the others.
"Professor An, do you know anyone who can slaughter a sheep?"
"Who is it? Can we ask him to help?"
"Help?" Professor An raised an eyebrow. "What's the benefit?"
"We can pay!" He Xuebin said hurriedly, "Or we can exchange mushrooms for chickens or rabbits."
"That's not necessary. When you make the mutton soup, just leave a bowl for me."
"No problem, it's just one bowl... Wait!" Lu Chuanbei, having reacted, hurriedly looked at Professor An: "Leaving one bowl for you? What do you mean by that?"
"Why?" Professor An said with a smile, "You're not even willing to give up a bowl of mutton soup, are you?"
"Of course not, but you... are slaughtering sheep?" Lu Chuanbei was a little bit unbelievable.
Xu Qi and others standing nearby also looked incredulous.
But Professor An nodded calmly: "Yes, it's me, don't you believe it?"
"A little bit." He Xuebin said honestly, "After all, you don't look like someone who can butcher a sheep."
"You're wrong," Professor An said with a smile, "I'm the one who slaughters the New Year sheep and pig every year in my hometown."
"Is this true?"
"You'll find out in a moment."
In this way, Professor An took over the task of slaughtering the sheep.
Of course, the process of slaughtering sheep is not something that Song Tiantian and the other little ones can watch.
When Song Tiantian and the others were driven to the front yard, the female goat tied in the front yard seemed to sense something and became a little restless.
While Professor An was slaughtering the sheep, Anderson, who had already received a sample of bone-breaking and muscle-regenerating ointment from the nurse, was quickly returning to a hospital invested by their team in China.
The few people who were already waiting in the hospital laboratory asked Anderson as soon as they saw him come back, "How is it going? Did you get the sample?"
"Got it." Anderson took out the sample he took from the nurse.
"Great! With this, we can analyze the ingredients of the bone-breaking and muscle-regenerating ointment and find out what it is."
While they couldn't wait to start their experimental research, many people who had obtained samples also received experimental reports.
But when they saw those unknown active elements and unknown ingredient lists, some organizations who couldn't wait to know what was going on were ready to take action against Song Tiantian and Lu Chuanbei.
Song Tiantian and others, who were unaware that the crisis was about to come, were still gathered around the kitchen, looking forward to the mutton soup that Xu Qi would stew.
Xu Qi looked at the eager little guys and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't look at me. A pot of excellent mutton soup can't be made in such a short time."
"What? Can't we eat it right away?" He Jingnian said in disbelief.
"Of course not. Good mutton soup requires patience." Xu Qi said as he took out a few steamed corns from the pot beside him. "Here, eat some corn to fill your stomach first."
He Jingnian took the corn and asked unwillingly, "When will the mutton soup be ready?"
Xu Qi glanced at his watch: "If I start to work on it now, it will probably be ready by dinner time."
"Ah? Does it take so long?" Song Tiantian opened her eyes wide.
"Yes, but we can't drink mutton soup for the time being, but we can arrange grilled lamb skewers first."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the little guys who were originally a little disappointed suddenly lit up.
After a while, the little guys who had finished eating the corn followed Xu Qi and the others and started busying themselves preparing the grilled lamb skewers that would be used later.
Xu Qi cut the mutton they had specially left behind into pieces the size of mahjong tiles and skewered them one by one with wooden sticks. At the same time, Song Tiantian and the others washed the mushrooms and skewered them together.
At this time, the supplies sent by the program team also arrived. Lu Chuanbei took some pork belly, chicken legs, chicken wings, some eggplants, potatoes, etc., washed them and quickly put them on bamboo skewers.
Soon the barbecue party in the courtyard was ready.
In order to express his gratitude to Professor An for helping to slaughter the sheep, He Xuebin specially came to the village house where Professor An and his friends were temporarily staying and invited Professor An to have a barbecue together.
Unfortunately, after helping them slaughter the goat, Professor An went up the mountain and followed the direction the Siberian tiger left to determine the tiger's range of activity.
Even so, Xu Qi and the others still left a portion of skewers for Professor Song, planning to grill another one for him when he came back to drink the mutton soup.
What they didn't know was that Professor An almost didn't come back from the mountain this time...
