Chapter 182 Rabbit Hair Leg Circumference
He pretended to be angry, threw Tie Dan aside, and picked up Xiao Di from the ground and hugged him in his arms.
When Tiedan saw this, he panicked and kept burrowing into my arms, meowing in a low voice.
Xiao Di was always kind. Seeing that Tie Dan was unhappy, he took the initiative to stick out his pink tongue and lick Tie Dan's head.
"Our little place is truly kind-hearted."
While praising it, I gently stroked Xiao Di's fur. Xiao Di's innocent and kind appearance is truly endearing.
When I woke up, the weather was calm, and I could even see the sun, but there was no warmth at all, as if the sunlight was fake.
Lighting the stove and firewood as usual, feeding the livestock, takes more than an hour.
Although my hands and feet were cold, after finishing my work, a thin layer of sweat would appear on my forehead.
Fortunately, there is no farm work during the extremely cold period, so once this busy period is over, you can relax and do your own thing at a leisurely pace.
I found a lot of small clay pots for cooking rice noodles in town. I rinsed the rice, poured it into the small clay pot, added two pieces of rock sugar, red dates and fresh goji berries that Sister-in-law Gao brought, and put it on the stove to simmer.
I went to the basement and got five sweet potatoes, then put them under the stove to roast.
Normally, I can only eat one sweet potato with porridge by myself, but there are also a bunch of dogs and Tiedan, a whole family eating together, so it really wouldn't be enough if I ate less.
Fortunately, I have plenty of food stored up, so this is nothing to worry about.
I nestled into the soft sofa and studied the laptop I had previously scavenged from the town.
The laptop had no password; it could be opened simply by charging it. I had no intention of prying into other people's secrets, so I just plugged my USB drive into the laptop and started playing the show I was watching.
This laptop screen is a bit bigger than my own, so watching shows on it is really big and clear.
I've only watched less than half an episode of the show, but the rice porridge simmering on the stove and the sweet potatoes roasting under the stove are both emitting an enticing aroma.
He squatted down by the stove and turned each sweet potato over. Tie Dan'er followed suit, jumping off the sofa and squatting down beside him, trying to sniff the sweet potatoes with his little nose.
This little guy seems to have never eaten roasted sweet potato before. The more he smelled it, the more fragrant it became, and he even tried to pry it with his little paws.
I didn't stop it, letting its cat paws touch the hot sweet potato.
As soon as the cat's paw felt the heat, Tie Dan suddenly pulled his little paw back and trembled twice.
Practice makes perfect. The more I tried to stop it, the more curious I became. Once I truly experienced its appeal, I stopped touching it recklessly.
Seeing that the kitten could walk normally, I stood up, left the east room, and went to the back room to retrieve some freshly pickled vegetables.
Cut it into strips on a cutting board and arrange it in a delicate little plate.
They were taken along with the bowls and chopsticks and placed on the coffee table in the east room.
To make more space for growing vegetables in the east room, the low table is no longer placed here. Usually, when I eat alone, I eat on the coffee table or the kang table.
Stir the pot with a spoon, and you'll see that the white rice grains have burst open from the stewing, and the dried goji berries are plump and full under the influence of the hot porridge.
The aroma of red dates wafted from the pot, making one's mouth water.
When it looked ready, I put the casserole on the ground, ladled myself a bowl of thick red date porridge, and left it to cool on the coffee table.
Pick a small sweet potato from under the stove and squeeze it. If you can feel the softness under the skin, it's done roasting.
I placed a tissue on the table, put the sweet potato on it, let out a sigh of relief, and sat down on the sofa to start my breakfast.
Gently peel back the skin of the sweet potato to reveal the orange-yellow flesh inside, with a layer of honey floating on top, glistening under the light.
It's too hot to eat with my mouth right now. I picked up a piece of soft, tender sweet potato with my chopsticks, blew on it, and put it in my mouth. It was so soft, sweet, and juicy—it was absolutely delicious!
Tie Dan sat on the sofa, staring at me with her two round little eyes, not blinking. I knew she was greedy, but I couldn't let the kitten develop bad habits.
My dad said we shouldn't feed the cat while we're eating, otherwise it will get used to it and start trying to steal food from the table every time we eat.
So he could only pretend not to see Tie Dan's intense gaze and continue eating.
The red date porridge had cooled down a bit. I stirred the red and white porridge with a spoon, then gently scooped a spoonful into my mouth.
The rice porridge was very sticky, with a strong red date flavor and a slight sweetness from the brown sugar. As it went down my throat, it warmed me all the way through my stomach and intestines, making me feel especially comfortable.
A bite of long strips of pickled vegetables is crisp and refreshing, cutting through the richness.
Staying at home will definitely make me gain weight. To prevent myself from getting any fatter, I'll just have a bowl of porridge and a sweet potato and then stop eating.
All the sweet potatoes under the stove were taken out and laid out to dry in a small pile.
The dogs and cats stared wide-eyed at the pile of sweet potatoes, feeling a mixture of surprise and fear that they weren't meant for them.
Let the sweet potatoes cool, peel them, break the flesh into small pieces, mix them into the rice porridge, stir well, and then divide them among the dog and the kitten.
These little animals at home are actually quite picky eaters; they don't like to eat meat.
But sweet potatoes and corn are an exception; they love them no matter when you feed them.
The dogs devoured the sweet potato porridge, leaving not a single crumb in the bowl, so there was no need to even wash the dishes.
I took my dishes to the kitchen, wiped the coffee table clean, and prepared to deal with the rabbit skins in the house.
Even though I wear thick clothes every day, my legs and feet still get cold after being outside for a while.
Rabbit fur has good insulation properties, so I plan to process it and make it into leg warmers to wear when I go out.
The rabbit skins were previously cleaned with salt when they were stored away. Now, the dried rabbit skins are being soaked in vinegar.
After soaking several rabbit skins until soft, remove the fascia with a knife, wash them again, and use wire to support the skins as they are hung to dry.
While drying, comb the rabbit fur to make it look softer and fluffier.
The dried rabbit skin was a bit harder than I expected, which means the processing method wasn't professional enough. But it doesn't matter, I don't care how good the texture of the rabbit skin is, as long as it can keep warm.
Cut off the irregular parts around the rabbit skin with scissors and set it aside.
Put on the cotton pants you would wear when going out, and hold the rabbit skin up to your leg.
Remember the size of the rabbit skin around your calf, then take it to the sewing machine and sew it into a tube with a slightly loose fit.
Make four leg circumferences in one go, which is two pairs.
I couldn't wait to put on the cotton pants and try on the rabbit fur leg warmers on my calves.
The size is just right, and even though the rabbit fur is a bit stiff, you can't feel it at all when wearing it on your leg.
It can't be said to be very beautiful, but the rabbit fur around the calves gives it a wild beauty.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I looked at my outfit; this time I was going to completely transform into a savage.
Keep the two pairs of leg warmers safe and make sure to wear them when you leave the yard and go up the mountain.
Pick up a pile of rabbit fur trimmings cut off from the heated brick bed, sew them together with needle and thread to make a rabbit fur ball, leaving an opening to attach a piece of yarn.
