Chapter 121: Tofu dipped in brine, one thing conquers another!
On the mountain, Su Mingyuan threw stones until his hands were tired.
There are too many game today, rabbit, pheasant, roe deer...
Su Mingyuan was fighting in the front, while Su Qingshan was picking up the fruits with a basket on his back. When the basket was full, he asked Qibao to hide it.
"It's strange. These pheasants and rabbits all ran out of their nests as if they had made an appointment?" Su Mingyuan couldn't help muttering after shooting down another pheasant.
Su Qingshan glanced at the boy and was secretly happy.
All the pheasants and rabbits ran out from their nests. It was simply his good daughter who showed off her magical powers and brought them to him.
"That's enough. We've fought a lot. It's time to go home!"
Su Qingshan was worried that Mr. Bai would be back soon, so if he went back early he could kill some game and stew it for dinner.
"I didn't count, maybe about twenty?" Su Mingyuan was so focused on hitting them that he couldn't remember how many he had hit.
"We already have some. With that roe deer, we have 25 pieces of game!"
Su Qingshan's face was full of joy. Now they no longer had to worry about eating meat in the winter.
Take the pheasants and rabbits home, clean them, rub them with salt, and hang them up to dry. They will have a different flavor and can be eaten slowly until next spring.
"Qibao is really our little lucky star. I knew that we would be blessed with great luck with Qibao!" Su Mingyuan happily picked up his niece and lifted her high.
Dong Yulan was peeling potatoes in the yard. When she heard footsteps and Su Mingyuan's laughter outside the door, she hurried to open the door.
"You're back! Did you hunt any prey?" Dong Yulan asked casually.
"Of course it hit!" Su Mingyuan put Qibao on the ground and took the backpack off his back.
Pull aside the pine needles covering the backpack to reveal the pheasants and rabbits inside!
Dong Yulan was delighted when she saw this: "It's still early, let's kill a rabbit and braise it tonight! Let's also get a pheasant and stew it for the children to drink soup. Jianguo is back, so please invite Xiao Tuan and his wife to dinner tonight!"
Like Su Mingyuan, Su Qingshan took off the backpack and pulled aside the pine needles covering it, revealing the basket full of game.
Dong Yulan's eyes widened in shock: "So many?"
Just as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed before his eyes, and then another pile of corpses appeared in the open space in the yard, among which the roe deer was the largest and most obvious.
Dong Yulan was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Su Mingmei came out of the room and was also shocked by the amount of game that Su Qingshan and his men had brought back.
"There's no time. Let's skin a rabbit and kill a chicken first. Put away the rest of the good girls and deal with them tomorrow!"
After recovering from the shock, Dong Yulan gave the command.
"It's okay, Mom. It's still early. Dad and I can handle it!" Su Mingyuan didn't want to waste time.
He only has three days off in total, so he should do as much as he can while he is at his brother-in-law's house.
"It's up to you. Kill me a pheasant or a rabbit, and I'll put it in the pot!" Dong Yulan urged.
Su Mingmei helped boil two large pots of water.
Su Mingyuan was killing a chicken in the yard.
This time we shot a total of eight pheasants, sixteen rabbits and one roe deer.
Dong Yulan specially took a large bowl to fill with chicken blood for Su Mingyuan.
Chicken blood can be coagulated into blood tofu and cooked into spicy soup which is especially delicious with rice.
Su Qingshan was responsible for killing and skinning the rabbits.
Gu Qiqi nibbled a small melon in her mouth and sat on a small stool, watching leisurely.
The hot water in the big iron pot soon boiled.
Su Mingmei also helped to perm the chicken feathers. After the feathers were permed, they had to be plucked quickly, otherwise the chicken skin would become old and difficult to pluck after a long time.
Dong Yulan was also helping when plucking the hair!
The three men were very quick and quickly plucked all eight chickens clean.
Su Mingyuan chose the fattest one and killed it.
"Tsk tsk, who would believe that a pheasant weighs five or six pounds?" Su Mingyuan sighed as he killed the chicken.
Fat, really fat!
Not only are the pheasants fat, but the rabbits are also fat, with meat all over their bodies!
And there was that wild roe deer, weighing more than 100 kilograms!
This time I brought back more than 200 kilograms of meat from the mountains!
Qibao on the side blinked.
The pheasants and rabbits raised in the secret space are of course fat!
Not only fatter, but the meat is also more tender!
Dong Yulan specifically instructed her son and husband to pack the chicken and rabbit offal separately.
Homemade pickled sour beans are best used to stir-fry chicken and rabbit offal!
When Gu Jianguo woke up, chicken soup was stewing on the stove and Dong Yulan was frying rabbit meat with a spatula in the kitchen!
Just the processed pheasants and rabbits filled three large earthenware basins, and they were piled up...
"Did you hunt so much game in the mountains?" Gu Jianguo couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the meat.
"Brother-in-law, you don't know, there are so many rabbits and pheasants in the mountains this year, and we just easily caught so many!" Su Mingyuan was not at all Versailles and spoke the truth.
"That's great, the winter hunting warriors will have a treat this year!" Gu Jianguo was delighted.
A group of boys came back from school, smelled the meat, and crowded into the kitchen at the same time.
"Grandma, why is it such a sumptuous meal today with so many dishes? Does anyone want to come?" The foodie Gu Jinan's eyes lit up when he saw the dishes on the table.
"Your Grandpa Bai will be back soon, so go and invite your Uncle Xiao and Auntie over. Your dad is back, let's have some fun together!"
As soon as Dong Yulan finished speaking, Old Bai walked in.
"Haha, looks like I'm in for a treat today!" Old Bai smiled as he smelled the meat in the yard.
"There is one last dish. Have Mr. and Mrs. Xiao invited them?" Dong Yulan shouted to the yard.
The Xiao Tuan couple who had just arrived home from next door smiled at each other.
I was just wondering what to eat in the evening, now I have a solution...
There was meat, fish, chicken and rabbit on the table, it was an especially rich meal!
Xiao Tuan also brought over his treasured Moutai.
Gu Qiqi was sitting in the baby chair and gnawing on a chicken leg.
It smells so good!
The pheasants in the secret space are different. They taste fresh, tender and fragrant...
Xiao Mo picked up a mushroom for her and said, "This tastes good too, Qibao, try it!"
Shiitake mushrooms are full of spiritual energy and taste better than pheasant!
Gu Qiqi was busy eating meat and had no time to pay attention to him!
Xiao Mo scooped another spoonful of chicken soup into the seven-treasure bowl.
The soup made from pheasant and shiitake mushrooms is very delicious!
Bai Xiumei was busy preparing the dishes while paying attention to her son's every move.
Seeing how he patiently served Qibao the whole time, the little girl didn't even glance at him, and she couldn't help but marvel at it!
It's really like the brine and tofu, one thing can conquer another!
Even though her son is so difficult to serve, he will have to serve others one day!
Seeing Xiao Mo being restrained and docile in front of Qibao, Bai Xiumei was very satisfied. At least her son knew how to take care of people!
In this respect, he is better than his father Xiao Yi, so he won't have to worry about not being able to find a wife in the future!
The Gu family’s meals were sumptuous, and with Dong Yulan’s great cooking skills, everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal!
As expected, everyone ate too much!
After dinner, several grown men walked around in the yard to digest their food!
"I heard from Xiao Mo that he made a few hundred dollars by going up the mountain with you guys?" Xiao Tuan suddenly spoke.
Seven hundred and ten yuan is not a small amount!
"That's right, Mo is very capable. He found a nest of badgers in the mountains and smoked them out of the cave."
"We helped to refine the badger oil and exchanged it for money. The money was given to Mo Xiaozi, and we kept the meat for ourselves. The meat you just ate was badger meat!"
Su Qingshan nodded and said without hesitation.
"Haha, I can prove that the quality of this batch of badger oil is indeed good. Next time, just send it to our hospital. We'll take as much as you can!" Old Bai promised.
"Haha, that also requires Mo's luck!"
The group of people stayed in the yard for a long time, chatting and laughing.
The Gu family put the meat in a clay pot and marinated it with salt.
A pile of rabbit fur was thrown casually next to the chicken coop, looking very eye-catching.
Xiao Yi thought that this family really didn't consider him an outsider!
Others can only eat meat a few times a year, but the Gu family is able to eat meat every now and then.
Not only could he eat meat, but he also frequently invited their family.
It was as if he was afraid that no one knew they had meat at home.
But precisely because of this, Xiao Yi and Bai Xiumei had a very good impression of the Gu family.
The two of them ate and drank the good things from the Gu family and never revealed a word to anyone else.
Since his son Xiao Mo started having every meal at Gu's house, he has become visibly more cheerful, gained weight, and looks better.
Xiao Yi and his wife are grateful to the Gu family!
After staying for a while, Xiao Yi, his family of three, and Bai Lao went back to the next room to sleep.
It was late at night and everyone in the family was asleep.
Gu Qiqi flashed into the secret space, lay on the grass and began to count money.
Who would believe that she, a one-year-old kid, actually had more than a thousand yuan in her hand!!!
At first, her mother gave her one thousand yuan, plus the two hundred and seventy yuan that her uncle forced on her later, she now has a total of one thousand two hundred yuan in her little piggy bank!
That’s a huge sum of money in this era!
Gu Qiqi lost interest after counting for a while.
After all, she is still a baby and has no chance to use the money.
Gu Qiqi lay on the grass and began to worry about the lack of progress in her cultivation.
There has been almost no progress since his cultivation broke through to the third level of Qi Refining.
After traveling to the world of immortal cultivation, her highest level of cultivation was only the third level of Qi Refining, so she had no experience to rely on for further cultivation and could only make progress through trial and error!
Alas, she is destined to have no talent for cultivating immortals!
If the news of him guarding a spiritual vein but still practicing as a waste were to spread to the world of immortal cultivation, those chosen ones would probably laugh their heads off!
Gu Qiqi sat beside the spring and began her daily practice.
Although I haven’t found the trick yet, practicing is like rowing against the current, and I have to persist every day!
All night till dawn!
The Gu family, represented by Su Qingshan, got up one after another.
The first thing Su Mingmei does when she wakes up in the morning is to make a glass of honey water.
Ever since she started drinking the honey water at home, her condition has obviously improved. She no longer feels tired as before, she has more energy and her skin looks better.
Now she has basically developed the habit of drinking honey water.
Not only her, Dong Yulan also started drinking the honey water.
As she got older, Dong Yulan had the habit of getting up at night and her waist would occasionally ache, but after drinking honey water, these minor problems improved.
When Su Mingyuan saw his mother and sister drinking honey water, he couldn't help but go forward and make a bowl of it.
Honey water is sweet and has a special taste. It’s very comfortable!
After one bowl, I feel refreshed.
Su Qingshan was scraping grease off rabbit skin in the yard.
"I think the quality of these rabbit skins is quite good. The rabbit hair is smooth and shiny. If we process them well, we can make a furry suit for Qibao!"
Whether it is for making clothes or scarves, rabbit fur is a good choice.
Such a good thing certainly cannot be wasted.
"And that roe deer skin is pretty good too!"
Dong Yulan was making breakfast for the family in the kitchen. Gu Jianguo was taking a rest today, so after washing up he went to help process the rabbit skins.
Su Mingyuan, who had finished drinking the honey water, also followed over.
"It would be really adorable to make a furry outfit for our Qibao!" Su Mingyuan couldn't help laughing as he scraped the grease off the rabbit skin and imagined what Qibao would look like covered in fur.
Gu Qiqi, who was squatting in the yard digging with a small shovel, chose to ignore it. She was sure that her uncle was up to no good.
Xiao Mo came over from next door after washing up.
When he saw Xiao Qibao squatting on the ground digging with a small shovel, his eyes lit up.
It’s embarrassing to say that all the spiritual energy from the spiritual stones buried by the little girl was sucked away by him!
This is the third time Qibao has buried spirit stones in the yard to set up a spirit gathering array.
As Gu Qiqi buried the top-grade spirit stones in the soil, she felt puzzled.
Is the spiritual energy consumed so quickly?
She doesn't seem to absorb so much normally!
"What are you doing, Shippo? Do you want me to help you?"
Out of guilt, Xiao Mo walked forward, squatted down in front of Qibao, and whispered in her ear.
Half of the buried top-grade spirit stone was still exposed.
Xiao Mo's sudden arrival startled her. She quickly used a small shovel to dig up the soil next to it and buried the exposed spirit stone.
Xiao Mo: “…”
The little girl is so confused and cute!
He didn't even know he had been exposed a long time ago.
"I'm just poking the dirt for fun!" Gu Qiqi blinked, and her big black eyes looked particularly sincere.
Xiao Mo: “…”
Well, the little girl deliberately wanted to hide it from him, so he had no choice but to cooperate...
Xiao Mo stood up and pretended to go into the house to find Jinchen and the other boys.
As soon as he left, Gu Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
[Huh, I was almost discovered! ]
Gu Jianguo and several others who were processing rabbit skins in the yard turned their heads to look at Qibao.
What did you do that almost got discovered?
Xiao Mo couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he walked into the main room.
Qibao is so cute!
Feeling the gazes of his uncle and the others, Gu Qiqi froze in her tracks as she was about to take the spirit stone, and continued to dig the soil with the shovel...
"Our Qibao is digging earthworms again!" Su Mingyuan was happy to see the little girl's little actions.
It was the same last time.
The little girl seems to have a special liking for digging. She can squat in the yard and dig the soil all day long.
"There are no earthworms in the corner. If you want to dig, go to the vegetable garden!" Su Qingshan replied.
Gu Qiqi: “…”
When everyone's attention shifted to the rabbit skin again, Gu Qiqi continued to bury the spirit stones.
For the sake of cultivation, it is not easy for her...
Today happens to be the weekend, and Su Mingyuan suggested going into the mountains.
There are treasures everywhere on the mountain.
We hunted so many pheasants and rabbits yesterday, maybe we can get something else today.
It would be a foolish waste to have a treasure mountain and not make use of it!
"Go and borrow a cart and bring back some firewood!" Su Qingshan said.
The weather is getting colder, so it’s better to store as much firewood as possible at home.
"Okay, I'll go up the mountain with you!" Gu Jianguo nodded.
He is either on missions or in training on weekdays, and the number of days he spends taking care of the family can be counted on one hand.
It’s a rare chance for him to take a break, and he also wants to do his part for his family!
