In the dilapidated house at the end of the village, seven families divided the work among themselves.
Madam Xu and Zhou Youcai's parents cleaned up the house and made a place for them to sleep at night.
Because of her legs and feet, Su's mother had to look after the two sleeping babies.
Little Yang Gui and Little Tao Hua helped watch over the two children to prevent them from waking up and making it difficult for Su's mother to take care of them.
Yang Rong, Yang Hua and Yang Lin brought the pots and pans from the car and took care of the three animals by providing them with water and feeding.
Su Yin, Yang the Butcher, and Zhou Youcai went out to collect firewood.
The end of the village is at the foot of the mountain. The weather is dry now, and you can pick up a lot of dry firewood without walking too far.
Butcher Yang sniffed, "I smell barbecue."
Zhou Youcai smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, you are hungry."
"It really smells like barbecue." Butcher Yang argued.
Su Yin sniffed and found a faint aroma in the air. "It does smell like barbecue."
“Those people who live at the head of the village should be barbecuing.”
"I've been very thirsty these days. I haven't eaten meat for a long time." Butcher Yang felt a little nostalgic.
In Xinghua Village, Butcher Yang's family was considered to be the best offal in terms of conditions. As a butcher, he often ate some pig offal or leftover meat, so his family was not short of meat. Therefore, all of them were relatively tall and strong.
It's very intimidating when people stand there.
Su Yin smelled the aroma of the barbecue and felt like eating it.
"I want to eat barbecue, too. Rabbit meat is the best." Su Yin smacked her lips while picking up firewood.
Zhou Youcai was a little greedy after hearing what the two said, but since he seldom ate meat, he didn't feel as uncomfortable as they did.
Suddenly, a rabbit jumped out in front of Su Yin. Her eyes lit up, but before she could make a move, she saw the rabbit rushing forward and hitting the tree trunk directly, then falling straight down.
This scene left Zhou Youcai and Butcher Yang dumbfounded.
Su Yin picked up the knocked-out rabbit in front of her and smiled at the two of them, "Here comes the meat."
Looking at the skinny rabbit, "There's not enough meat. It would be a waste of seasoning to grill it."
The secret seasoning is precious.
Just as he finished speaking, another rabbit jumped out from the bushes in front. After seeing the three strangers, it fled in panic, but ended up bumping its head against a tree trunk and died gloriously.
Before they could close their slightly opened mouths, rabbits jumped out one after another, and like headless flies, they either bumped into tree trunks or were hit by their companions, leaving Su Yin and the other two with a ready-made one.
The three of them looked at the six rabbits in their hands happily.
"Oh, we can have an extra meal tonight."
"This bunch of rabbits are so stupid." Zhou Youcai was very happy.
"If the rabbit father and mother are stupid, the children they give birth to will also be stupid." Butcher Yang didn't know what genetic inheritance was, but he knew this truth.
Su Yin tied up the six rabbits, Zhou Youcai and Yang the Butcher carried the firewood, and the three of them each performed their duties.
The people in the yard heard the noise and looked towards the door vigilantly. They were surprised to see a string of rabbits hanging in Su Yin's hand.
When little Yang Gui and little Tao Hua saw the rabbit, they rushed over in surprise.
"Sister, can we have barbecue again?"
When barbecue was mentioned, little Yang Gui and little Taohua couldn't help licking their lips, and the other adults also became greedy.
"OK!"
After getting satisfactory answers, the two little guys were very happy.
My eldest cousin's one-year-old baby started giggling when he saw the little ones laughing.
Butcher Yang took the initiative to take on the task of processing the rabbit. He took out his cooking tools from the package. The seemingly heavy butcher knife was very dexterous in his hands, and he easily peeled off a whole rabbit skin.
Su's mother wanted to help process the rabbit skins, but her aunt pushed her back and took on the job instead.
Now that there is no shortage of water, they dare to indulge in this for once. At other times, they would not dare to do so even if there was rabbit meat.
Even if there was water, only one spoonful was used to clean the rabbit meat. Just this small spoonful of water was enough to clean all six rabbits. After washing, the water turned into a basin of blood.
Su Yin wanted to wash it again, but when she thought about how difficult it would be to get water later and whether she could find water, she just ate it anyway.
"Since we have rabbit meat, let's make pancakes tonight." Su's mother said
Several other shops followed suit and prepared to make pancakes.
With previous experience, Su Yin didn't need to ask for help, as several cousins came over to help, including Xiao Taohua and Xiao Yanggui.
Even Uncle Wan San, who was so tired that he could hardly breathe, came running over happily to help.
He was craving for that, especially in such a harsh environment where there was not enough food or warm clothes, being able to eat a barbecue was definitely a pleasure.
After the meat was cut, Su Yin poured in the secret seasoning to marinate it, and then she would let them skewer it later.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Su Baozhu shaking her hands from time to time, "Aunt, is your hand injured?"
Grabbed her hand, there was a blister on it.
When Su's mother saw this, she hurriedly found needle and thread from her bag, used the needle to prick the blister and squeeze out the water inside. Only by squeezing out the water would it be easier to form a scab and heal.
She looked at Su Yin, "Do you have blisters on your hands and feet? I'll pop them for you."
"No, the blisters I popped before have all scabbed over and the skin is dead."
Walking, walking, walking every day, even if they work in the fields every day, their legs can't bear it. The first thing to suffer is blisters on the feet, which will become more and more uncomfortable if the blisters are not popped.
When I first started walking with the blisters pricked, the soles of my feet felt excruciatingly painful with every step. But after a period of adjustment and the blisters gradually scabbed over, I got used to it.
"This cart is too difficult." Su Baozhu looked at her hands.
Xu Niangzi's family had no livestock, so she had to pull the cart by herself, and her mother-in-law helped push it from behind.
Niu Niu was carried on Aunt Xu's back. Fortunately, Niu Niu was a sensible child and didn't make any noise. She would only ask the adults to put her down when she was thirsty or felt really uncomfortable.
They walked fast today and Madam Xu was a little overwhelmed, so Su Baozhu went over to help.
From pushing along the way, constant friction caused blisters on my hands.
After the marinating was almost done, Su Yin started to roast the rabbit meat.
As soon as the marinated rabbit meat is placed on the fire, a unique aroma soon wafts out.
There was a group of people at the entrance of the village. The gentleman scholar ate a few bites of meat, then lost his appetite and just rinsed his mouth.
Suddenly, I smelled an aroma at the tip of my nose, the smell of barbecue mixed with unknown spices, and the smell inexplicably aroused the appetite in my stomach.
The burly man shrugged his nose and asked, "Do you smell anything?"
Others followed suit and sniffed, saying they could smell a fragrance.
"That group of people at the end of the village must have cooked something."
As soon as the burly man finished speaking, he saw his master walking out.
"Young Master, where are you going?"
The elegant scholar did not respond and walked towards the end of the village. The closer he got, the stronger the fragrance became, arousing his appetite.
