"Gugu~Wuwu~" "Meigu" struggled unwillingly for a few times, making a weak sound.
After Wu Tiao finished chewing the dried sweet potato, he slapped Coal Ball on the head with one paw and sniffed it, making Coal Ball tremble under his paw...
Did it look like a rabbit? Cheng Zhenzhu took a closer look, grabbed Meiqiu by the scruff of the neck, and lifted it up. It was indeed a wild rabbit, caught by four or five other people, and it had been badly beaten. Its body was stained with dried blood, and its fur was stuck together in clumps. Its eyes were dull and lifeless, as if it was ready to be slaughtered...
It should be around three pounds, right? Cheng Zhenzhu weighed it and automatically converted it into two plates of meat. As for the question, "Rabbits are so cute, how can we eat them?", it didn't apply to her, a carnivore. Besides, the dirty rabbit in her hand was not at all cute...
"Mom, what is this?" Liu Tiao stared at the dying rabbit in Cheng Zhenzhu's hand with his big eyes and asked curiously.
"It's a rabbit." The knowledgeable one answered.
"Rabbit?" Bajo murmured as he moved closer to take a look. He didn't mind the dirt at all and even plucked a handful. After pulling it out, he felt that it didn't feel good, so he wiped it on his pants.
"It's a rabbit." Nijo corrected.
"It's a rabbit." Baji repeated with a grin, his eyes shining.
Oh, it’s just a rabbit, it doesn’t matter... Er Tiao rubbed his forehead and sighed softly.
"Is it edible?" Liu Tiao didn't care whether it was "rabbit" or "rabbit-ji". For him, as long as it was edible, it was fine.
Of course they could... Five of them lashed their tails wildly, raised their heads, and proudly bared their large white teeth to their young master. Four of them squeezed over and extended a cleaner paw toward Cheng Zhenzhu.
"Yes, you can eat it. Roast, braise, stew, stir-fry, or stir-fry. Tomorrow, I'll stew rabbit meat for you, and leave two rabbit legs to stir-fry with dried radish..." Cheng Zhenzhu thought of the delicate and delicious rabbit meat, happily squeezed the four rabbit paws, and said with a smile,
"Four, five, you did a great job this time. You've accomplished a great feat. I'll give you a treat tonight as a reward. A generous meal: one dog and five small dried fish."
These two dogs are truly capable of great things. They caught the rabbits and brought them back straight away, saving her a lot of trouble. This little bit of stuff is definitely not enough to share, and confiscation is out of the question. But after all, it's from the mountains, and if anyone sees it, there's bound to be some gossip...
"Woof woof woof~" The fourth and fifth cats seemed to understand and began to circle around Cheng Zhenzhu happily.
Several children also ran happily, circled around the rabbit, and asked Cheng Zhenzhu if they could eat it tonight?
"It's okay to eat it today, but then we'll have to eat very late. It takes time to process the rabbit, and we have to stew it..." Cheng Zhenzhu analyzed the situation to the children.
"Mom, let me help you." Er Tiao immediately responded.
"I'll help too~" Then four little hands were raised, extremely enthusiastic.
"Okay, then. Mom will go boil some water." Seeing the children so eagerly waiting, Cheng Zhenzhu did not spoil their fun. She boiled a large pot of water and then divided five dried fish among the four, five and one dog.
"Woo~" Four or five fish turned their heads towards the basin, their butts in the air, and began to enjoy their feast with their tails raised. This dried fish was especially delicious; usually they could only eat one...
"There's still some here, it's not clean yet..." Several kids waited until the rabbit was scalded, held the rabbit's head with tongs, and squatted beside Cheng Zhenzhu to help deal with the rabbit's hair. They seemed not afraid of the heat and could not be driven away.
Cheng Zhenzhu saw that there was only a little hair left on the rabbit, so she handed it over to a few diligent children and took the opportunity to prepare the ingredients.
Onions, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, bay leaves, cinnamon... the ingredients were ready, and the children had already plucked the rabbit's fur. Cheng Zhenzhu had the children wash their hands, gave each of them two small tomatoes to fill their stomachs, and then closed the kitchen door and went to work in the back room.
There wasn't much left of the rabbit after the hair was removed, and the meat on the legs was even less. Cheng Zhenzhu was too lazy to bother with "one rabbit for two meals", so she simply chopped the whole rabbit into pieces, blanched it in water, and skimmed off the blood foam.
To avoid a monotonous dish, she cut two potatoes to stew the rabbit, and washed two heads of lettuce to make a garlic lettuce dish. It took more than an hour for everything to be done.
Two potatoes and a rabbit were stewed to fill a large iron basin, and two heads of lettuce also made a bowl of tender green. Cheng Zhenzhu made room for the vegetables, opened the kitchen door, and was faced with six round, bald heads.
"It smells so good~" The six kids were almost crying with greed after smelling the food. They looked at the big bowl of food in Cheng Zhenzhu's hand and swallowed hard.
"It's time to eat..." It was almost dark at this time. Cheng Zhenzhu brought the dishes to the table, lit two candles, and served each person a large bowl of white rice.
A large pot of rabbit stewed with potatoes was filled to the brim. The meat was tender and fragrant, the broth was perfect for pouring over rice, and the lettuce was refreshing. Plus, it was past mealtime and we were hungry, so the six little kids were so satisfied eating with their bowls that they almost swallowed their tongues but still refused to put down their chopsticks and spoons...
"Mom, it's really delicious!" Er Tiao gave his mother two thumbs up.
"It's super delicious!" Yitiao is a man who knows how to praise.
"Mom, it's delicious~" San Tiao licked his greasy little mouth, as if he was still recalling the taste just now.
"We'll eat again tomorrow~" Liu Tiao patted his stomach and made arrangements with great anticipation. Qi Tiao and Ba Tiao, who were sitting next to him, were so happy that they lay down...
"Tomorrow? That depends on whether Four or Five are strong enough..." Cheng Zhenzhu said, looking at the empty bowl of rabbit meat. She and the kids seemed to have taken their fighting power to a new level. But they'd been working all day, and their energy consumption was high, so eating so much was normal, wasn't it?
