Chapter 141 Confirming the Dishes



"Okay, thank you Tong Zhiqing, when I catch him, I'll give you half of it," Fu Shinian said

"Just give me one, you still have to treat me to a meal," Tong Yiya replied.

After saying that, she went to look for herbs not far away. Fu Shinian went to check first and confirmed that there were indeed signs of recent rabbit life in the cave.

He looked around and saw some hay not far away, then he thought of a solution. He found some hay, rolled it into two balls, and blocked the two smaller holes. He was afraid that the rabbits would push the hay balls apart when they ran away, so he made them more solid.

There were two holes left. He closed one hole with the backpack he brought. After fixing the backpack, he took some hay and lit a fire at the other hole. After stuffing the burning hay into the hole, he wrapped a grass ball to block the exit.

Soon, smoke rose from several other holes. He looked around again and didn't see any holes that he hadn't noticed, so he sat down beside the backpack and guarded it with peace of mind.

Soon the rabbit in the hole couldn't stand the smoke anymore and ran out from the only unblocked hole, but was trapped by the backpack as soon as it came out.

One rabbit after another ran out, until five rabbits came out and no more rabbits ran out of the hole, then he went to get some straw ropes to tie up the rabbits.

These five rabbits are a family. Two of them are bigger and three are smaller, but their weight is acceptable.

After tying up the rabbit and putting it in a backpack, he saw that Tong Yiya had not come over yet, so he chopped some dry firewood nearby.

After a while, he chopped a bundle of dry firewood, placed it in a circle around the backpack, put the rabbit in the middle, covered it with some tender grass, and placed the bundle of firewood on top.

Tong Yiya also came over with herbs on her back. When she saw him, she didn't ask him if he had caught it. She just said, "Let's go. It will be too late if we don't get down the mountain now."

"Okay, let's go now," Fu Shinian said as he picked up the backpack and followed Tong Yiya, the two of them going down the mountain one after the other.

After walking out of the forest, Tong Yiya separated from him, otherwise if the villagers saw them, they would tell something even if there was nothing wrong between the two of them.

The relationship between men and women is quite sensitive these days, so Tong Yiya is still very careful about this aspect.

She first returned to the village and to her own yard, and began to process the medicinal herbs and mushrooms she brought down the mountain. When she finished, it was already dark outside.

She then hurriedly brought all the winnowing baskets used to dry medicinal herbs on the shelves in the yard into the house. After she had collected them all, she went to the kitchen, lit a light, and cooked herself dinner.

One day passed like this, and it was the day before Fu Shinian and his family were going to have a dinner party. Yesterday, their house had been completed, and the yard was simply built with some adobe bricks from the village.

This morning, the two began to clean the house, then went to the carpenter's house to take back the furniture and doors and windows they had ordered, and together with a villager they had hired separately, they installed the doors and windows of the house and put the furniture in place.

The two also moved their luggage and bedding from the simple hut into the new home. As for the demolished hut, they used it as firewood for the stove, and all of it was chopped up and piled in the kitchen.

The two of them cleaned and tidied up for a whole day and finally finished tidying up the house. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Tong Yiya saw that there was no one else there, so she went out to their yard.

After walking into the yard and seeing the complete blue brick and tile house, she still felt a little envious, but thinking of her own personality, she resisted the urge to build a house.

She didn't see the two people in the yard, and it was not easy to go into the house to shout, so she could only shout at the door: "Fu Zhiqing, Dong Zhiqing, are you home?"

Fu Shinian heard the voice, put down what he was holding, walked out of the room, and saw that it was Tong Yiya, so he smiled and greeted her, "Tong Zhiqing is here, come and sit down, I'll go get you a glass of water."

"Don't bother me. I just came over to discuss with you the meals you're going to prepare for your dinner party tomorrow," Tong Yiya said hurriedly when she saw him going to pour some water.

Fu Shinian replied: "You can't come here without even pouring out the bowl of water. Find a stool and sit for a while. I'll be here soon."

As he spoke, he continued walking towards the kitchen. The thermos they had packed up today was still in the kitchen. They didn't have any extra cups at the moment, so they could only pour the water into bowls.

Guard Dong also came out of the house. When he saw Tong Yiya, he smiled and said, "Tong Zhiqing, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter."

"It's nothing. I've already promised you. I also want to do my best," Tong Yiya replied.

"Given Tong Zhiqing's cooking skills, I think everything he cooks will taste good," Dong Weibing praised.

Fu Shinian also brought out the water at this time. Tong Yiya took the water and looked at the depth of its color. She could tell that Fu Shinian had added a lot of brown sugar.

She took a sip and found it very sweet indeed. She put the bowl on the table beside her. To avoid suspicion, the three of them left the gate wide open and did not go into the house. They just sat in the yard and talked.

Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing wrote down the dishes they were going to prepare on paper, and then Fu Shinian said, "We are going to prepare five dishes, one meat, one egg, two vegetarian dishes and a soup. We will have to exchange the vegetables from you when the time comes."

"That's nothing. I have a lot of vegetables in my yard, and they will get old if I don't eat them. I can get something in return if I give them to you," said Tong Yiya.

Then he took their menu and looked at it. When he saw the eggs, he thought about the leeks in his backyard. He seemed to have some leeks, so he continued, "The villagers pay attention to the size of the dishes, but it would be too wasteful to fry the eggs alone. How about this, I have some leeks growing over there. I will harvest them together with the vegetables tomorrow and fry them with the leeks and eggs. This will save some eggs and fill the plate more."

"Okay, we don't understand these things either. You can make the arrangements. Just write down the time difference and we'll calculate how much it will cost after you've used it up," Fu Shinian said.

"Yes, Tong Zhiqing, you can just make the arrangements. We need to prepare three tables of food tomorrow. We have invited an aunt to help. Of course, we will also help if we are not busy," said Dong Weibing.

"That's not a problem. I looked at the dishes you prepared. First is the fried eggs with leeks, then the rabbit meat with potatoes. The other dishes are shepherd's purse salad, mashed cabbage with garlic, and cabbage and mushroom soup," Tong Yiya said as she wrote down the names of the dishes.

After writing it, he handed it to the two of them and asked, "Do you think this is okay?"

After looking at it, Fu Shinian said, "Of course it's possible, but we don't have shepherd's purse and mushrooms. It's already this late, and it will take a lot of time to go to the commune to buy them."

"This shepherd's purse is a wild vegetable in the village. It's very tender and abundant in this season. I'll take you to the area at the foot of the mountain and we'll get the amount we need for tomorrow. I have some mushrooms there. I usually get some when I go up the mountain to dig for herbs. The ones I got yesterday are still fresh, perfect for making soup," said Tong Yiya.
