Chapter 142 Roasted Lamb Leg
There was a piece of rabbit skin inside, which was very white. It was the fur of the oldest rabbit.
The rabbit is more than one year old, and when it is slaughtered it is in its second molting period. At this time the rabbit's fur is the finest, fluffiest, and so white that there is not a single stray hair.
When he saw it, he imagined the fur being made into a scarf around Zhao Yeqing's neck, so he was particularly careful when handling it.
One person knitted a scarf and another sewed a blanket.
By six o'clock in the afternoon, it was getting dark outside.
Mu Xi bit off the thread in his hand, shook off the loose hair on the blanket, and held it in front of Zhao Yeqing, "Try it?"
Zhao Yeqing put down the scarf in his hand and took the rabbit fur blanket. The pattern on it was carefully chosen. Although the fur colors were not uniform, the combination of colors was very harmonious.
The rabbit fur is soft and it warms your legs in no time when you put it on them.
She picked up the rabbit fur blanket, buried her face in it and rubbed it hard. It felt like she was hugging her best friend's cat, so soft and silky.
Zhao Yeqing was a little touched, and stood up and hugged the man's waist, "Thank you~"
Mu Xi rubbed his chin against her head, "What are you thanking me for?" He held her body and leaned towards the small round table.
"Isn't the scarf on the table also knitted for me?"
The wool was white, and she hadn't thought of giving it to him as a surprise. When she was knitting the scarf, she held the ball of yarn next to his face and finally decided on this color.
Mu Xi's clothes were mostly dark in color, not sure if it was because it resisted getting dirty or because he liked it. Most of the clothes left among the supplies he went to find were also black.
Zhao Yeqing felt that white suited him very well, and even his sharp upturned eyebrows looked gentle.
She let go of his waist and said, "It will be done soon."
The scarf can be knitted very quickly without any patterns, and the yarn is the thicker coral fleece yarn. It took me so long to knit it because there were too many things to do at home.
Mu Xi helped her put the unfinished scarf into the knitting basket and said, "You can knit it tomorrow. It's too late today and it's straining your eyes."
Since the fireplace in the room was lit, no lights were turned on. It was really bad for the eyes to knit a scarf by the flickering flame.
Zhao Yeqing picked up the basin where the wheat was soaked and said, "Then I'll go get the malt first."
She took the basin to the kitchen, poured out the water, and spread the soaked wheat flat on a winnowing basket.
Mu Xi walked in with a basin in his hand, which contained lamb legs that had been marinated last night.
"It will take an hour to bake. Go do yours first. When you're done, stay in your room and warm yourself by the fire. I'll call you when it's done."
Zhao Yeqing brought the winnowing basket filled with wheat seeds into the room, covered it with film, left holes for ventilation, placed the winnowing basket next to the fireplace, and covered it with hay.
It is best to shade wheat seedlings and water them twice a day.
Zhao Yeqing finished processing the wheat seedlings and returned to the kitchen.
"What's the point of me being alone in the room? Time will pass faster if we work together."
The lamb legs were skewered on wooden sticks and roasted. Actually, there was nothing much to do but just watch the fire. It was such a boring thing to do alone.
"Tell me a story to pass the time."
Mu Xi thought for a moment, "Fairy tale?"
"No, just some interesting gossip or jokes."
Mu Xi was stumped. "I don't have many friends around me, so I don't gossip much, and I don't remember any jokes."
Zhao Yeqing cleared his throat and wanted to laugh before he even spoke. "Then let me give you an example. I want to test you. Why do gorillas make no sound when they walk?"
"Because it walks on tiptoe?"
"No." Zhao Yeqing couldn't help laughing out loud before he revealed the answer, "Because, hahahaha... gorillas knock their buttocks when they walk, hahahaha..."
Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, and then his brain came back to its senses. He was a little amused and said, "What a mess."
The joke was a bit dull, but when he saw Zhao Yeqing laughing so hard that tears came out, he couldn't help but laugh out loud because of her infection.
“Isn’t it funny?”
Mu Xi could only smile and nod, "Funny."
Zhao Yeqing's sense of humor is really not very high. As she laughed, she thought of another thing.
"Another one, a little earthworm asked its mother one day: 'Mom, mom, where is dad?'
The little earthworm’s mother said, 'Your father went fishing with someone. ' Hahahaha..."
Maybe her laughter was too contagious. Several dogs ran over from the house. Seeing her happy laughter, they also stuck out their tongues and laughed and circled around her legs.
Happiness is so easy to infect people around you. Mu Xi himself didn't even notice the smile on his face as he handed the tissue to Zhao Yeqing who was laughing to tears.
I just suddenly felt that days like this weren’t so bad.
The roasted lamb leg began to smell delicious, and the greedy dogs' saliva dripped onto the floor.
The wolf meat had not been eaten yet, so Zhao Yeqing started cooking a few more wolves first.
The smile from before had not completely faded away, and she couldn't help laughing out loud while working.
The wolf meat was hung outside and was now frozen solid.
She took a piece and threw it into the water to boil, and she wiped away the tears that came from her laughter.
When the lamb leg is almost done, cut it with a knife.
The knife used was a fruit knife, and the piece that needed to be eaten was cut from the lamb leg.
Zhao Yeqing likes to eat mutton that is roasted and crispy, so he cut a large piece of mutton from the bottom closest to the fire.
The outside is crispy, but the lamb inside is just cooked through, and the meat is tender and juicy.
I used to think that it tasted so good because the sheep had just been slaughtered was fresher.
But now it has been three or four days since it was killed, and it still tastes delicious.
"That's incredible. This sheep farming business must be expanded and strengthened."
The wolf meat for the dogs had just been cooked. Zhao Yeqing cut four pieces of mutton, one piece for each dog, and only helped them take the wolf meat out of the pot after they had satisfied their cravings.
The two of them ate a whole leg of lamb cleanly and threw the leg bones to the dogs to grind their teeth.
Mu Xi did not waste the sheep's spine. He thawed it and put it in the pot to simmer into soup.
Before the two of them went to bed, they put out most of the fire and used the red charcoal underneath to slowly burn it out.
It was noticeably colder to sleep tonight than before.
When Zhao Yeqing got into bed, his hands and feet were still cold.
The two of them were roasting lamb legs in the kitchen. The smell was so strong that she took a shower first. She was still warm when she finished showering, but now she was getting colder and colder in the quilt.
By the time Mu Xi arrived, her hands and feet were almost frozen, and she couldn't sleep warmly under the quilt.
Mu Xi went to bed and found that her hands and feet were as cold as if they had been soaked in cold water.
"Put it in." He lifted his clothes and saw that Zhao Yeqing was standing there motionless. He reached down, grabbed her feet, put them inside her clothes, and pressed them against his stomach.
Zhao Yeqing felt the unevenness of her stomach under her feet. Her ears turned red and she shrank subconsciously. "Your stomach will get cold if you do this. Just use your legs to warm it up."
This is how her grandmother warmed her feet when she was a child.
Between the legs?
Mu Xi raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"
