A whole rabbit, seasoned and tied with a rope, is then hung above the oven to roast.
One stove can hold ten rabbits, which is quite efficient.
"Little Grass, remember not to let the fire get too big, or it will go out," He Tiantian instructed.
Zhao Xiaocao seemed particularly interested in this matter. She couldn't help but lick her lips and nod vigorously, "Okay, Second Aunt."
In the courtyard, everyone was busy at work.
The rabbit fur also needs to be clearly marked. After it's dried, He Tiantian will take it all to the manager of the Ni Chang Pavilion.
She also promised several children that she would use these rabbit skins to make a warm scarf for each of them in the winter.
A fragrant aroma gradually wafted from the oven. Zhao Xiaocao, who was closest to the fire, could clearly hear the oil splattering onto the flames and making a sizzling sound.
It smells so good! She hadn't smelled anything this good in a long time.
Zhao Xiaocao's mouth started to water, and she couldn't help but suck in her saliva.
The children, upon hearing the delicious aroma of the rabbit meat, couldn't resist trying it.
Zhao Fengnian put down his work and stared longingly at the meat in the oven.
"Sister Cao, rabbit meat smells so good..."
His rabbits have grown from two to six. When will he be able to eat rabbit meat?
Although Zhao Xiaocao herself was also craving it, she still had to assert her authority as the older sister in front of Zhao Fengnian.
"Look at you, so useless! Once you've raised enough rabbits, you'll have more rabbits than you can eat!"
Zhao Xiaocao just counted them one by one, and her second aunt has put a total of eight rabbits in this stove.
The first rabbit we put in already had a golden-yellow skin; it looked delicious.
The rich aroma of barbecue filled the air, and when carried by the mountain wind, it spread throughout the entire Changfeng Village.
The villagers only get to eat a little meat during the Lunar New Year.
It's not a holiday or festival, who would be so extravagant as to eat meat?
Especially the village children, after smelling such a fragrant aroma, lost all interest in playing.
Gradually, everyone followed the fragrance to the outside of He Tiantian's courtyard wall, taking deep breaths of the aroma in the air.
He Shitou kept the courtyard gate tightly closed, not worried about anyone climbing the wall. The wall was very high; most people couldn't climb it.
However, even when he was butchering rabbits in the backyard, it was hard not to be attracted by the delicious aroma.
He Shitou put down the knife and walked to the front yard with a smile.
"Sister, is the rabbit meat ready yet? I'm so hungry for it."
Slurp... He Shitou couldn't help but swallow.
With He Shitou leading the way, a group of children quickly gathered around. Even Zhao Xiaolü, who was usually quite composed, stood at the very back, holding Xiaomingzhu.
He Tiantian glanced at the children's pleading faces and couldn't help but smile wryly.
She washed her hands. "Okay, let me see if it's cooked."
The children were overjoyed and followed behind, wagging their tails.
He Tiantian stepped onto the stool, opened the lid of the stove, and took a look.
Although the rabbit's skin was golden, blood was still dripping from inside.
"Wait a little longer, it should be ready to eat in about 15 minutes."
