Chapter 68 Tang Lao Er, He Stands Up
She doesn't recognize her!
Little Su Bao stared at it for a long time, and finally, her face turned red.
She had lived in the inner quarters for so long, and she knew about chickens and ducks because they used to be raised in their yard, although the Lan family ate them later!
But this thing has two horns on its head and a beard!
They even called them "Mommy" when they saw them...
Little Su Bao was startled!
"Huh, I didn't expect it to be a wild goat!" A hint of joy appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.
He had followed his master in the mountains for several days, and even if he had never eaten it before, he had seen his master catch it.
This is pretty good; you can eat meat in it!
Lamb is very precious!
Because their country has a very low yield of mutton and it is not abundant, a pound of mutton costs as much as eight or nine hundred coins.
Xiao Su Bao knew about mutton because when Lan Xin'er had her birthday, her family spent over a thousand taels of silver to prepare mutton to show how much they valued her.
While helping wash dishes in the kitchen, Xiao Su Bao ate a small piece of mutton, about the size of her little finger, that was left on the plate.
She was hungry back then, so she secretly ate that small piece of mutton, and it still tastes delicious to this day.
The high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto would not eat pork with its fishy smell, but they valued mutton and beef very much.
Little Su Bao's eyes widened instantly, drool dripped down his throat, and he fell down on his own!
no!
She had eaten mutton before, but this was the first time she had ever seen a live goat.
"Gulp..." Little Su Bao couldn't help but swallow.
Tang Qi was taken aback, turned his head, and saw the little dumpling looking like this.
He burst out laughing immediately.
"If little sister wants to eat, your second brother will kill one for you when we get back, and your eldest brother will make you mutton soup!" Tang Qi said with a smile.
Little Su Bao immediately perked up, but then shook her head.
Such a big sheep, you'll definitely make money selling it!
She can just eat vegetables!
Tang Qi placed Xiao Su Bao aside and carefully pulled up the sheep below.
He was stunned!
There was even a little lamb down there.
"Baa..." The mother sheep and the lamb bleated, seemingly in a hurry.
Tang Qi's face lit up with joy. He tied the ewe to a tree with a rope and then picked up the lamb.
The lamb wasn't very big, and it was pure white all over, making it look very beautiful.
The lamb was startled when Tang Qi picked it up, but became excited as soon as it saw its mother.
Tang Qi had just tied up the lamb and placed it on the ground when the lamb ran towards its mother.
Little Su Bao stood to the side, stunned.
She suddenly didn't want to eat lamb anymore!
The lamb is still small; if it doesn't have a mother sheep, it'll be just like me...
The little lamb didn't say anything, but walked up to the mother sheep and her daughter and reached out to touch them.
Tang Qi was startled and immediately picked up Xiao Su Bao.
That ewe has horns on her head; if she were to bump into the little lamb, it could cause serious injury.
"My dear, don't go over there! If you get hurt, your second brother will be killed by our mother!" Tang Qi said helplessly.
Little Su Bao blinked, looked at the obedient mother and lamb, then at Tang Qi, and nodded.
Don't cause trouble!
Tang Qi tried to pick her up again, but this time Xiao Su Bao wouldn't let him.
"Second brother, I can walk by myself!" Little Su Bao looked up and said with a smile.
Seeing that she was serious, Tang Qi nodded.
But just as they were about to leave, the ewe suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Su Bao, bowing her head and lowering her whole body.
Tang Qi was taken aback, but saw that the ewe was still lying on the ground, her dark eyes glancing at Little Su Bao.
Just then, the little bell in Xiao Su Bao's arms suddenly jumped down and then bounced onto the back of the ewe.
Tang Qi...
What exactly is going on here?
Before Tang Qi could react, he saw the rabbit with the scarf come down again, then carry Xiao Su Bao's clothes in its mouth and walk towards the mother sheep.
"Chirp chirp..." the rabbit chirped twice.
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up and she smiled. Perhaps because she had gained a little weight recently, her little face had become a bit chubby, and when she smiled, she had two little dimples.
She said to Little Bell in her childish voice, "Little Bell, do you want me to sit on Big Sheep's back? But Little Su Bao is chubby, it'll be a bit heavy!"
She looked at her still very thin little hands and was a little worried.
"Chirp chirp chirp..." Little Bell bit her trouser leg and pulled hard.
Xiao Su Bao glanced at Tang Qi.
"It's alright, you sit up there, and your second brother will hold you!" Tang Qi also felt something was off, but he figured the ewe meant the same thing.
Sure enough, after the little lamb sat down, the mother sheep slowly got up.
Little Su Bao was still a little nervous.
Her eyes widened, and she dared not breathe too heavily.
Tang Qi was secretly surprised. Could it be that the ewe knew she was going to be killed and was trying to save herself?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
It's just a sheep, it can't possibly become a spirit!
He was filled with doubt.
The two of them went back to the children.
By this time, Tang Dabao and his group had gathered quite a few wild vegetables. Tang Dabao had also collected a lot of elm and willow leaves, which they could make into vegetable dumplings when they got back.
They also picked wild vegetables like prickly ash shoots.
Overall, it was a very fruitful experience.
But when the children saw that Tang Qi had four pheasants hanging from his waist, was leading a ewe by the hand, and had a lamb following behind him, they were all stunned.
Tang Sanbao was digging for insects, intending to go back and feed the chickens, but when he saw his father returning with the sheep, he became excited.
"Dad, how did you catch the prey? Did the sun rise in the west?" Tang Sanbao said subconsciously, remembering his mother's words.
Tang Qi...
This son is lost!
Looking back at my sweet little darling, I suddenly felt that my son was even less appealing.
“Little aunt, you don’t know, every time my dad went up the mountain, my second uncle and the others would not go up the mountain. They said that every time they went up the mountain with my dad, they couldn’t catch a single thing…” Tang Sanbao became interested as he said this.
They just didn't see that their own father's eyes were getting increasingly hostile!
Destroy this son!
No, I don't want it!
Absolutely not!
Tang Qi cleared his throat and coughed forcefully: "Cough cough..."
Tang Sanbao ignored him and continued to complain.
"Uncle Ga Zi next door said that Dad is a prey killer; as soon as he goes up the mountain, all the prey disappear..."
"Enough!" Tang Qi grabbed his son by the back of his collar and threw him aside.
He was carrying so much stuff, he was determined to walk from one end of the village to the other!
Let the people of Tangjia Village take a good look!
he!
Tang Lao Er has stood up!
Feeling smug, he grabbed Xiao Su Bao and headed back.
It was the first time the children had ever seen a live goat. Their curiosity made them stop digging for wild vegetables and follow Tang Qi and the little ones down the mountain.
The children ran around as the sun slowly set behind the mountainside.
Under the bright orange sun, a vast expanse of fiery clouds stretched out, creating a truly beautiful sight.
Little Su Bao couldn't help but raise her head, squint her eyes, and take a look.
