Before Yuan Doudou could figure out why, a group of people suddenly appeared behind her.
Zhou Chuangen arrived in a flurry with the Taoist priests, accompanied by Li Xueqing.
"Village head, see? I didn't lie to you, did I? Yuan Doudou wants to let the demon cat go." Li Xueqing shouted triumphantly.
On the way, she saw Yuan Doudou carrying something and sneaking up the mountain. Thinking of the Taoist priest's exorcism, she guessed that Yuan Doudou wanted to let the demon cat escape.
"Li Xueqing, it's no wonder your face was scratched. You're just making trouble for yourself." Yuan Doudou was extremely disgusted to see her veiled and meddling in other people's business.
Li Xueqing quickly covered her face and retreated to the back. She was still shaken, afraid that if the cat demon attacked again, it would take her life.
Zhou Chuangen didn't want to listen to the women's bickering, so he said to the Taoist priest, "Immortal, it's this white cat."
Taoist priest Li Youtian stroked his beard as he walked forward, a whisk resting on his arm. He exuded an air of otherworldly wisdom and seemed to possess profound Taoist cultivation.
Is this a white cat? It's clearly a black cat. Li Youtian frowned.
There was also a foul odor, very pungent.
"Looking at the cat sticking out its tongue and glaring, it's already lifeless. It must have been caused by the lightning that struck it earlier. Everyone, there's no need to worry. Heaven has taken this demon away; this is the will of Heaven."
After Li Youtian finished speaking, he closed his eyes and recited a rebirth mantra to help the cat demon resolve its resentment and be reincarnated as a good cat.
Zhou Chuangen was full of admiration: "It must have known that the immortal was coming, and even the heavens were alarmed, so they took action first. Immortal, this way please. Tea has been prepared at home, please don't find it offensive."
The onlookers, seeing the Taoist's extraordinary abilities, all praised him, saying, "This is a true master! He can subdue the cat demon without even lifting a finger!"
"Immortal, you haven't said what to do with this cat demon yet." Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Li Xueqing hurriedly asked. She wanted to take the cat demon back and whip its corpse a thousand times over.
Li Youtian narrowed his eyes, his expression inscrutable. "I've already neutralized the cat demon's resentment. Just find a place to bury it; there's no harm in it."
Zhou Chuangen glared at her, "Your face is injured, why aren't you home resting instead of running around everywhere!"
Ugly people are often troublesome; she's everywhere.
With so many people around, Li Xueqing felt insulted, covered her face, and ran home crying.
Zhou Chuangen looked at Yuan Doudou, who remained silent, and was very satisfied. Look at her, she is the epitome of virtue and grace, intelligent and kind-hearted, no exaggeration.
"DouDou, I'll leave the cat demon's funeral arrangements to you. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll head back now," he said very politely.
Those around them were surprised. When did the village head value Yuan Doudou so much?
Seeing them walk away, Yuan Doudou felt a great sense of relief.
She just touched Xiaobai's neck and found a slight throbbing.
But the Taoist priest only glanced at her before concluding that Xiaobai was dead, which truly stunned her.
"Xiaobai, don't worry, I won't let you die." Yuan Doudou wrapped him in a cloth and carried him home.
Xiao Bai: I wouldn't have died without you.
Along the way, she wondered if there was any way to bring the charred cat back to life.
First, cool it down, then trim off the burnt hair, and then put it in a pot to boil.
Ugh, what is she thinking about cooking cat meat?
Amitabha Buddha, what a sin!
Xiao Bai: You're such a foodie.
When she got home, she put Xiaobai on the bed, took a bucket to the well, and drew a bucket of cool well water.
Unfortunately there was no ice, but luckily the well was deep and the water inside was cold enough.
When she got home, she poured well water into a wooden basin and carefully placed Little White in the water.
The temperature suddenly dropped, and Xiaobai shivered from the cold.
The eyes and mouth were closed.
Angie looked on in amazement, "Mommy, can Little White really come back to life?"
Yuan Doudou nodded firmly, believing that sincerity brings results.
She silently prayed in her heart, "May Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves us from suffering, bless Xiaobai to come back to life."
Xiao Bai: Guanyin Bodhisattva is very busy, she doesn't have time to care about him.
Little White was soaking in the water. After a while, the water turned black, and its white fur gradually became visible.
Xiao Bai felt much better; this woman actually had some brains.
Yuan Doudou changed the water in the basin, put Xiaobai in, and continued to soak it.
She went to the kitchen to cook dinner. There was broth on hand, so she kneaded the dough, rolled it out, and ate noodles.
Let the kneaded dough rest for a while; it will be more elastic when you roll it out later.
In the small vegetable garden in the yard, there were plenty of tomatoes. Just as she ran out of tomato sauce, she picked half a basketful, washed them, chopped them into small cubes, put them in a pot and stir-fried them until they became a paste. She added white sugar and continued to stir-fry. There was no need to add vinegar, as the taste was already quite sour. Before taking it off the heat, she added salt.
"Mommy, I want to eat French fries." Looking at the tomato sauce in the pot, he remembered the French fries his mother made last time; they were so delicious.
Yuan Doudou thought that making fries would take a long time, so she smiled and said, "Anji, it's a bit late today, how about I fry some fries for you tomorrow?"
Frying French fries requires oil, and we don't have much oil left at home.
Angie was a little unhappy, but he still nodded obediently: "Then Mommy, don't forget."
Yuan Doudou said seriously, "Don't worry, Mother will never forget."
Place the rested dough on the work surface and continue kneading until the surface is smooth. Yuan Doudou then presses the dough firmly, shaping the round, bulging dough into a flat, round pancake.
"Mommy, you're amazing!" Angie looked at his mother with adoration, as if watching a magic trick.
Yuan Doudou smiled without saying a word; this was just her putting what she had learned to use.
Fortunately, she lived with her grandmother when she was young and learned some basic survival skills.
She placed the long rolling pin on the dough, wrapped the dough around the rolling pin, and pressed down on both ends of the dough with her hands. She then moved the rolling pin forward with her palms, using her wrist strength. As she pressed forward, the dough became thinner and longer.
To make the dough round, you need to unfold it, change its direction, press down on one end, roll it a few times, let the dough roll onto the rolling pin, and continue to push forward and pull back. With each push, pull, and press, the dough will become larger and smoother.
During the rolling process, sprinkle flour onto the rolled-out dough as needed to prevent it from sticking together.
Soon, a dough sheet the size of a table was rolled out.
As before, roll the dough onto the rolling pin, lift the rolling pin, rotate it, and place the dough down, folding it layer by layer to a width about the length of your index finger. After each fold, spread a layer of flour on top to prevent the dough from sticking together later.
After folding five or six layers, the dough was finished.
Yuan Doudou picked up the cleaver, gently pressed the dough with her left hand, and quickly cut the noodles. If she liked thin noodles, she cut them thin; if she liked wide noodles, she cut them wider.
Of course, it can be neither too coarse nor too fine; it all depends on the noodle cutter's technique.
Yuan Doudou's dough was too stiff to be cut wide, so she cut it into thinner pieces.
The cut noodles should not be delayed. Hold them in the middle with both hands, lift them up and shake them to separate the noodles. Spread them on the board and cover them with gauze for later use.
