Chapter 198 Rabbit Blood Canned Food
He took out that sharp military dagger...
The fat rabbit thrashed its legs a few times, but without suffering too much, it breathed its last.
Let Mancang hold the rabbit and let the rabbit blood flow into a basin. Rabbits with drained blood don't taste fishy when eaten.
Driven by a bloodlust, I took out a second and a third, killing them all in one go.
One by one, the rabbits were drained of blood and skinned directly with sharp bayonets.
Upon seeing this, Mancang gave me a serious thumbs-up, expressing his sincere admiration for me.
After cleaning and preparing all the rabbits, I left one on the stove and put the rest in the back room to freeze, so it would be much more convenient to eat them later.
Upon seeing the large pile of rabbit meat, Mancang's face lit up with the joy of striking it rich: "Aunt Cheng, we have so much meat to eat! This is so wonderful! Uncle San's family used to not be able to eat this much meat in a whole year."
"Following Aunt Cheng, the good days are yet to come!"
I haven't figured out how to eat the rabbit blood. I just remember that cats and dogs used to be able to eat freeze-dried rabbit blood, so this big bowl of rabbit blood will all go to the dog and the cat.
Crack five eggs into the rabbit blood. Pick out the rabbit liver and heart from the freshly peeled internal organs, chop them up, and throw them into the rabbit blood.
Pour in a bowl of flour and stir well. Steam the whole bowl of rabbit blood and egg mixture.
While steaming cat and dog food in the pot, my hands couldn't stop chopping the whole rabbit into small pieces.
Mancang squatted by the stove pit to help me burn firewood. He controlled the fire very well, and having an extra person to help made things much easier.
Before long, the whole basin of rabbit blood was steamed into a large, solidified blood clot. The whole basin was taken out and placed in the breeding room to cool.
For the next while, this rabbit blood became a treat for the dogs and cats.
The chopped rabbit meat is stir-fried in a pot over high heat with various seasonings to make braised rabbit meat.
Steam a bowl of millet rice on top, cover the pot, and wait for the rice to cook.
Let the steamed rabbit blood cool slightly, and then scoop out a large chunk for each dog, according to the appetite of several dogs and Tiedan.
As always, Xiao Gua and Xiao San and Xiao Si swallowed fist-sized amounts of rabbit blood in two gulps.
Xiao Di and Tie Dan were obviously more refined, slowly licking the food with their tongues, which looked very delicious, somewhat like cat food or dog food.
The three dogs, who had just wolfed down their food, were now anxiously pacing around.
"One piece per person, too much won't be absorbed."
Anyway, I won't give them an extra piece. They can't absorb too much of it, it's just a waste. I won't admit that I'm just reluctant to give them away.
After putting on thick clothes, and following the old custom, a large pile of rabbit entrails was placed at the entrance of the cave, which the wolves would naturally eat when they returned.
After processing the braised rabbit meat, it was almost cooked through, so I chopped some radishes and potatoes and threw them in to cook together.
Mancang was undoubtedly a little foodie, squatting by the stove and constantly swallowing his saliva.
When the aroma of caramelized meat oil rises from the edge of the pot, the braised rabbit is ready.
He told Mancang to step aside, lifted the pot lid, and a burst of steam rushed out, carrying with it a strong aroma of braised rabbit.
Mancang stood in the corner, breathing in the aroma of meat in the air. His greedy look actually satisfied my vanity as a chef.
"Haha, dinner's ready soon, get your bowls and chopsticks."
With a simple instruction, I started serving the rabbit meat. The rabbit meat was coated with a beautiful amber color from the dark soy sauce, and the stewed radishes and potatoes, which were cooked until tender, also took on a nice hue. Finally, I poured the thick sauce from the bottom of the pot over the rabbit meat and radishes, making it look incredibly tempting.
Once the rice and braised rabbit were served, bowls, chopsticks, spoons, small plates, and even two cups of hot water were thoughtfully placed on the table.
He placed a plump rabbit leg into the full bowl, then added another plump rabbit leg for himself and began to devour it.
It's perfectly seasoned and very flavorful.
Freshly killed rabbit is so delicious, so tender and fresh. The seasoning was also perfectly balanced today, making it very fragrant.
He ate a couple of bites and spat out the meat. He looked up at Mancang, his little mouth bulging from the sight of the food. When he saw me looking at him, he couldn't open his mouth, so he just raised his thumb in the air.
After swallowing the meat in her mouth, she opened her mouth and said, "Aunt Cheng, it smells so good! Rabbits look cute, but they taste even cuter!"
I was naturally happy to have someone appreciate my cooking skills. I picked up some potatoes and radishes to try. Today's stewed potatoes and radishes were very flavorful. The potatoes melted in my mouth, and the radishes burst with juice.
During dinner today, Mancang and I barely spoke. We only started chatting after we finished eating and I let out a long burp.
While drinking warm water, he chatted with Mancang for a while: "Does your third uncle raise livestock?"
Mancang shook his head: "No, none of them. The chicken we had last time was found in the mountains."
Mancang thought for a moment, then chuckled, "Hmph, if my cousin were to eat such delicious braised rabbit, he'd be overjoyed."
Ultimately, Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin are indeed Mancang's relatives. I wonder if Mancang will soften his heart when they meet again.
Or, if they come demanding the full stockpile and their attitude is really tough, could I open fire...?
I tentatively asked, "What do you plan to do if your third uncle and the others come?"
Mancang, who had just been all smiles, turned pale upon hearing this: "Aunt Cheng, I can't go back with them. I never want to go back to being someone's slave again. No, no, I'll be your slave, you're good to me, but I don't want to be their slave."
Mancang was somewhat flustered, and his speech became illogical.
Seeing how nervous he was, I doubt he would soften his heart.
I quickly reassured you, "I won't send you back. Just stay here with me for now."
Hearing my words of comfort, Mancang's worried heart calmed down, and I leaned closer to touch his hair.
This child's hair is extremely messy; it's time to tidy it up.
Without me lifting a finger, Mancang took the initiative to bring the dishes to the kitchen and wash them clean. I found some hairdressing scissors and a piece of tightly woven fabric.
"Come over for a haircut!"
I waved to Mancang, and he jogged over and sat down in a chair.
I carefully wrapped the cloth around myself and began my first experience of cutting someone else's hair.
First, cut off all the long parts, then use thinning shears to thin them out in all directions.
The background music from the childhood drama "The Love Wizard" seemed to play in my ears, making me feel even more confident.
"Aunt Cheng... isn't this a bit short?"
Mancang asked a question in a low voice. I looked over and saw that his hair was plastered to his scalp.
Concealing her inner embarrassment and panic, she feigned composure and explained, "No, it's nothing. This is called calipers, it's very cool!"
Mancang was puzzled, but he didn't say anything, only nodded silently.
After the haircut was finished, I was extremely satisfied with the little boy in the mirror.
I asked Mancang smugly, "Isn't it clean and refreshing?"
"Yes."
Mancang touched his bald head, which was less than a centimeter long, and nodded with a smile.
