"There is no rabbit meat, only fried mushrooms. Do you want to eat it?" Cheng Zhenzhu looked at Liu Tiao, who had fallen into obsession, and felt a little amused.
She is just a mother, not a turtle in a wishing well. If you want to eat, wait.
Rabbits are quite active in the spring, so who knows when the dogs will catch one. Or maybe, after these busy days, she'll go to the food factory and see if they have any rabbits for sale. But nothing's confirmed yet, so she doesn't want to make any promises easily...
The sixth one was silent for a while, and actually said he didn't want to eat. Then he slurped his words with his little mouth, and led the fourth and fifth ones back to the house, saying that he wanted to teach them how to catch rabbits!
They tried very hard, but couldn't catch anything... Four or five of them were a little depressed, lying there motionless, and then were led away by two sweet potato strips.
It was impossible not to eat them. The little guy would definitely regret it soon... Cheng Zhenzhu watched Liu Tiao catch four or five of them and walk towards the living room, shook her head, and continued to process the mushrooms.
Several people were still helping to process the mushrooms. Seven and Eight were working particularly hard. Their small hands, not much bigger than the mushroom caps, were the most enthusiastic, with huge smiles on their faces.
"Here, put it in here." Ba Tiao held a mushroom in his hand, his face serious. Aunt Spider said that if he behaved, he could get two more fried mushrooms. He had never eaten fried mushrooms, but he knew they were delicious the moment he heard them...
Cheng Zhenzhu picked a few more large mushrooms and asked the children to continue sorting the mushrooms. She washed and dried the selected mushrooms, closed the kitchen door and went to the space to work.
Add pepper, salt, a pinch of chili powder, and a pinch of five-spice powder to two eggs, then stir in flour and cornstarch. Tear mushrooms into strips, coat them in the batter, and deep-fry them. The aroma immediately wafts forth...
There were a few people outside standing by the kitchen door, but they couldn't hear any sound or smell any fragrance, which made them very anxious.
"Ahh~" Sixth is not here, and Eighth seems to be the most anxious. He has already started scratching the kitchen door, and his hands are dirty. Three takes him to wash them again and tells him to be clean.
Yajo nodded obediently and apologized in a baby voice, "I'm sorry, I'll be more polite next time~"
I definitely don't know what to do next time... Nanajo knows her younger brother best; he has a terrible memory. At home, he's always quick to admit his mistakes to his mother, but he'll do it again. But he's a bit cleaner now, because he used to wash his own clothes. They play nearby, watching him wash...
After frying a whole pot, Cheng Zhenzhu tried one and found it quite good. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not greasy at all. Cheng Zhenzhu opened the kitchen door with the iron pot in hand and was surprised to find that the child soldiers were not guarding the door this time.
"Hey guys, do you want to eat fried mushrooms?" Cheng Zhenzhu shouted while eating the crispy fried mushrooms.
"Here we go!" As soon as the words fell, a few of them rushed out. They had just finished picking mushrooms, but after waiting for a long time and not being able to smell them anymore, they went back to the house to play...
Liu Tiao grabbed four or five of them, wiped his saliva, and followed his brothers, shouting with a grin, "Mom, I'm here to eat fried mushrooms~"
"Six Tiao, didn't you say you wanted to eat rabbit meat instead of fried mushrooms? You didn't find many mushrooms this time. Seven and Eight found more than you, and you didn't help me choose mushrooms..." Two Tiao looked at Six Tiao who was happily squeezing over, and decisively interrupted him.
Liu Tiao picked his fingers guiltily, "I want to eat rabbit meat and fried mushrooms. Liu Tiao picked up big mushrooms and also selected a few mushrooms..."
The implication was that he also wanted a share of the fried mushrooms.
"Liu Tiao, you picked up eight big mushrooms and three small mushrooms, a total of 11, which is the least." San Tiao has always kept an account in his mind since he learned all the numbers. As the smartest among the kids, he often helps to count out of brotherhood.
"Hmm..." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded seriously, "Liu Tiao picked up eight big mushrooms and three small mushrooms, and he also helped me choose them, so I decided to give Liu Tiao three mushrooms."
"Three?" Liu Tiao held up three fingers, his face filled with disbelief. Wouldn't that mean they were gone in three bites? Then what about his eight large mushrooms?
"Yes, three." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded. As a middleman, she had to make a profit from the difference.
After washing his hands, Rokujo was given three small mushrooms by his mother. His brothers and sisters, on the other hand, had a bowl full of mushrooms to eat as much as they wanted...
Liu Tiao clutched the pitiful three pieces of fried mushrooms, his heart aching. "Hmph, no rabbit meat, and I can only eat three mushrooms..." If only he had listened to his mother and stopped running around picking mushrooms. Just now, when his mother asked if he wanted to eat, he should have said yes. And he couldn't be lazy, he had to help his mother with the work...
After reflecting on his mistake, Liu Tiao went to his mother to apologize. Seeing the little fellow's gracious admission of guilt, Cheng Zhenzhu generously gave him another ten. Liu Tiao devoured the delicious, greasy food, and forgot about the rabbit meat for the moment, saying he would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow.
Over the next few days, it rained sporadically. Cheng Zhenzhu took advantage of the pause and took the children home with her, bringing baskets of mushrooms. She also dug up plenty of wild vegetables and feather fern for later use.
Stir-frying a handful of wild vegetables with rice is quite refreshing, and you can also make wild vegetable dumplings. The kids all said they were delicious. Not long after, I cut mugwort and praised the mugwort cakes. Anyway, there is nothing bad about it. I praised it so much that my face became rounder.
Especially the twin boys, with round heads, big eyes, and much taller height, Cheng Zhenzhu felt a sense of accomplishment. She took a Sunday to take them to the grocery factory and the supply and marketing cooperative.
I went to the food factory first and got a chicken. Then, I was lucky enough to get the rabbit the kids had been dreaming about. It wasn't a wild rabbit, though, but a specially bred angora rabbit. It was quite plump, weighing 4.8 jin (15.3 kg), almost 5 jin (15.7 kg). I bought it for two meat coupons and 2.5 yuan.
With the rabbit, the boys became more energetic and took turns holding the rabbit by the scruff of the neck and walking in front of Cheng Zhenzhu. Two of them were holding a big rooster in their hands, looking very proud and heroic.
"Mmmmm..." The long-haired rabbit's hands and feet were tied, and its neck was strangled. Only a tragic whimpering sound remained, as if mourning its impending fate in the frying pan...
After walking for about ten minutes, the group of one adult, six children and two animals arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The dolls, each holding a chicken or a rabbit, were neatly groomed and handsome, looking like dolls from New Year paintings. They were so numerous that the sight immediately caught the attention of everyone at the supply and marketing cooperative. New salesperson Zhou Xiaohong also noticed it immediately.
Look at the woman with a few children. Although she is not good-looking, she behaves in a very generous manner. She goes into the supply and marketing cooperative as if she is going home. You can tell at a glance that she is a rich person.
As Zhou Xiaohong looked at it, her mind became more active...
