Li Jing's subordinate waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, don't be afraid!"
This is a water snake, it's not poisonous.
It looks scary, but it tastes great!
Song Chenghou smiled politely and took a few steps back.
These things look creepy; he wouldn't even want to look at them, let alone taste them.
Wen Shishi nestled in Song Chengxin's arms and was comforted for a moment before finally calming down.
He was sobbing and looked clearly frightened, which made Song Chengxin and his older brother very distressed.
Li Jing's men caught quite a few water snakes and eels;
Jiang's men hunted many pheasants and rabbits, and also caught quite a few fish in the puddles.
The monks were unable to prepare the water snakes and eels, and the Jiang family's men did not know how to cook them, so they entrusted the task to the Li ethnic woman.
Just as the Jiang family's men had skinned the rabbits and pheasants, Wen Shishi climbed down from her third brother's feet, frowned, and sternly questioned them:
"Bunnies are so cute, why do you kill them?!"
"The chickens' tails are so beautiful, why do you pluck their feathers?!"
Jiang's men, unsure how to explain, looked to the Song brothers for help.
Song Chengxin crouched down and patiently explained to Wen Shishi, "Shishi, your brothers didn't mean to hurt the rabbits and pheasants..."
Because of the disaster, everyone is starving and has no food.
If they don't eat these rabbits and pheasants, many of them will starve to death, understand?
The principle isn't hard to understand, but for a four-and-a-half-year-old to comprehend that humans can sacrifice the lives of other animals to survive...
It's somewhat complicated and cruel.
Even the eldest brother, who was well-versed in many books and knew many principles, could not explain it clearly.
A man stepped out from beside him; it was the sixth brother, Song Chengfeng.
He squatted down in front of Wen Shishi, unusually patient, and changed the subject, "Shishi, tell Sixth Brother, how do you cook rabbit and chicken to make them taste good?"
Wen Shishi made an "eight" shape with her thumb and forefinger, rested her chin on her hand, and pondered seriously.
The soft, white flesh of her neck was exposed, and Song Chengfeng couldn't resist scratching it.
Wen Shishi smiled and dodged slightly; the sadness from the bloody scene she had just witnessed had faded.
Recalling the delicious food she had eaten and the recipes taught on food programs, Wen Shishi licked her lips.
Song Chengfeng couldn't help but chuckle, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
After spending so many days together, I've completely figured out my sister's foodie nature.
She has an excellent memory and can describe the characteristics and cooking methods of many ingredients from books.
To distinguish between book knowledge and firsthand experience, one only needs to observe her actions.
Anyone who has tasted it will unconsciously lick their lips whenever it's mentioned...
If you talk for a while longer, saliva will drip down the corners of your lips.
Beside them, Song Chengxin and Song Chenghou also suppressed their laughter.
Song Chengfeng didn't urge her and patiently waited for Wen Shishi's answer.
During the Dayin Dynasty, meat was mainly stir-fried, and chicken was often used in soups...
Song Chengfeng asked Wen Shishi two questions: first, to distract her, and second, to find out what she liked to do.
You might get some inspiration for cooking.
Wen Shishi raised her chin, as if remembering something, worried that Sixth Brother's "claws" would reach out again...
He quickly lowered his chin and said earnestly, "There are many ways to cook rabbit meat..."
Rabbit heads can be made into spicy rabbit heads, and rabbit meat can be stir-fried.
Chicken can be used in soups, stir-fries, or grilled.
Chicken necks, chicken feet, and internal organs can be braised or stewed...
After saying a few words, unsurprisingly, a string of glistening drool slid down the corner of Wen Shishi's lips.
These practices were something that not only Song Chengfeng, but also the others, had never heard of before.
Song Chengfeng, eager to learn, asked, "What does 'barbecue' mean?"
How do you braise it?
Like a little adult, Wen Shishi demonstrated and explained the methods and ingredients needed for grilling and braising.
With "Master Chef" Song Chengliang absent, Song Chengfeng is also eager to try his hand at cooking.
Although the seasonings Wen Shishi mentioned have different pronunciations and may not be available here, I learned that they are also types of Chinese medicinal herbs...
Song Chengfeng quickly took out his oil paper package and searched for medicinal herbs that could be used to enhance flavor and have no side effects.
Song Chengfeng asked Jiang's men for two cleaned pheasants and a rabbit, intending to make the braised and barbecued dishes that Wen Shishi had mentioned...
Upon hearing this, Jiang's men pushed all the mountain produce they were carrying forward, grinning as they said, "Young Master Song, we'd also like to try the braised and barbecued food that Miss mentioned..."
Just tell me what you need to do!
With delicious food before them, they didn't even bother to ask the young master and the steward for their opinions...
