Chapter 67: You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry



The previous trap was just an appetizer.

When Song Fuyu took Gu Yuan to find the second trap, she couldn't help but sigh that this trap was really powerful.

Yesterday a silly roe deer fell in there, and today there were two wild goats.

One is bigger and the other is smaller. They should be a ewe with a lamb.

Unfortunately, however, she lost some of her sympathy at this moment, because her mind was full of thoughts about how to cook them.

Braised lamb, stewed lamb, roasted lamb, lamb hot pot...

She has figured out no less than ten ways to eat mutton.

"Sister Fu Yu, should we give such a big thing to the captain?"

Gu Yuan was a little surprised when he saw the two sheep, but when he thought about what everyone said about the larger prey being handed over to the village, he felt sorry for Sister Fu Yu.

"I'll give them to you next time when we have a chance. I'll keep these two for myself."

Turn it in? You must be kidding.

These two sheep together weigh less than 150 kilograms.

After removing the skin, fur, bones, and offal, you can only get 70 to 80 kilograms of meat at most.

If it was handed over to the villagers and shared among so many people, she would most likely only get one or two taels of meat, or maybe even less.

She spent a lot of time and effort digging a trap and finally caught the wild animal. If she could only get enough meat to fill her teeth, there would be no need to go through all the trouble.

"First, find something to cover your backpack, and go home by a less crowded road. Don't make any noise, okay?"

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll find a place to hide the sheep."

"Be careful when you go down the mountain. Go quickly."

When she could no longer see Gu Yuan, she immediately put the two sheep into the space.

Nowhere is as safe as her space, and it also has its own freshness-preserving effect.

Not long after Gu Yuan got home, Song Fuyu returned empty-handed.

I didn't see anything in her hands, so I knew she had hidden it.

Following her up the mountain today, he felt that Sister Fu Yu was a little more capable than he had imagined, especially her slingshot skills, which seemed quite advanced.

Not knowing whether she would accept disciples or not, Gu Yuan kind of wanted to become her disciple.

After returning to Gu's house, Song Fuyu took out the rabbit from the basket.

Carefully he held the pregnant rabbit in his hands.

"Ayuan, go get me a glass of water. I'm a little thirsty."

As soon as Gu Yuan left, she dripped some of the spiritual spring water along her fingers into the rabbit's mouth.

Let Aunt Fang deal with the other ones and keep the pregnant one alone. After a while, you will be able to harvest a few baby rabbits.

Gu Yuan brought the water over and Song Fuyu drank it all in one gulp.

"This rabbit is pregnant. I'll keep it for you to raise. When you have nothing to do, you can make a nest for it. Don't let anyone know."

"Really?"

When Gu Yuan heard her words, he was instantly surprised and showed a childlike expression that was different from his usual one.

"Of course it's true. It will wake up soon. Please take good care of it."

After saying that, she went straight into the kitchen.

Take out a processed rabbit from the cupboard and chop it into pieces of suitable size.

Peel a few more potatoes and add them to the rabbit meat. The potatoes that have absorbed the broth will surely taste as good as the rabbit meat.

While no one was around, Song Fuyu took out some star anise and peppercorns from the space and added them to the dish to stew together later.

If you ask, just say you picked it up on the mountain.

..........

"Oh my, who is cooking here? It smells so good, it smells like meat."

Fang Shulan and several other aunts who were with her came back from work. When they were almost near Gu's house, they all smelled a fragrance in the air.

"Shulan, why do I feel like this is coming from your family?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I usually cook at home. How can there be a smell of meat when I'm not at home?"

"Even if Xiaoying cooked, don't I know if there is meat at home? Maybe she cooked something else, and you smelled it wrong."

Fang Shulan knew that it must be Song Fuyu who was cooking. She had made braised rabbit meat last night.

But eating meat is something that should not be publicized, and even if it is the truth, she cannot easily admit it.

“Maybe I smelled it wrong, but it smells really good.”

"I won't talk to you guys anymore, I have to go home and cook."

After they parted, she quickened her pace to go home.

Everyone knew that there were two educated youth eating with them, and even if they were in a hurry to leave, they wouldn't say much.

As we got closer, the fragrance became stronger.

"Xiaoying, Ayuan, quickly close all the windows."

She closed the door tightly herself, and because she was not at ease, she also locked it only when she went to bed at night.

In the kitchen, Tong Youyou and Xiaodie were squatting on the ground, carefully observing the little rabbit in the basket.

It was getting dark today and Gu Yuan didn't have time to make a cage for the rabbit mother. He could only find a vegetable basket at home, put some hay in it, and put the rabbit in it.

"Mom, my brother and sister Fu Yu went to the mountains today and caught a few more rabbits. One of them is pregnant, and sister Fu Yu said she would leave it for us to raise."

"Then you must take good care of the little rabbit and don't let it run away."

“Will the rabbit run away again?”

"Of course, rabbits are very good at digging holes, and if you're not careful, it will get out of the hole."

Xiaodie suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Brother, when can you build the little rabbit's nest?"

"Not until tomorrow."

"Oh, can't you be quicker?"

"Xiaodie, stop messing around!"

Seeing her little daughter pouting and yelling at her son, Fang Shulan quickly scolded her softly.

"Mom, I was wrong."

She was just worried that the little rabbit would run away, and she didn't mean to blame her brother.

"Don't be so impatient next time. You won't get what you want in a hurry."

"I know, mother."

"I'm sorry, brother. I shouldn't have spoken so loudly to you."

"It's okay, Xiaodie, brother won't blame you."

"Okay, don't be angry, and quickly bring the dishes and chopsticks to the table."

Noticing that the atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became a little depressing, Song Fuyu quickly asked them to work.

Several people sat on the kang, looking at the big bowl of potatoes stewed with rabbit meat on the table, and they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

The staple food is still brown rice, and a cold dish is added to relieve the greasiness.

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Seeing that no one was eating, she took the lead and picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth.

The potatoes have a soft texture and absorb a lot of the soup, and the taste is really amazing.

She wanted to give herself a thumbs up.

In fact, she thinks her cooking skills are just average, just at the level of ordinary home cooking.

But maybe it’s because I haven’t eaten such a heavy-flavored dish that goes well with rice for a long time, so when I eat it now, it’s really delicious.

A large pot of rabbit stewed with potatoes was eaten up by the six of them.

Each of them patted their stomachs contentedly, with satisfaction written all over their faces.
