Afterwards, Guo Jianping and his sons carried the rabbit family down the mountain.
At home, Deng Qingling was sitting in the kitchen with her legs crossed and eating snacks.
Eating melon seeds and spicy strips, and drinking a sip of milk tea from time to time, it’s so leisurely.
Just when she wanted to eat something more, Guo Ningwan's voice came in.
"Mom, mom, we caught a rabbit, come out and take a look!"
As soon as everyone walked to the gate of the yard and had not yet entered the yard, Guo Ningwan started shouting loudly.
Hearing the sound, Deng Qingling quickly put the remaining snacks into the space, then scooped some water to rinse her mouth before quickly walking out.
"Coming!" Deng Qingling responded loudly as she walked.
Deng Qingling was very surprised to see several rabbits on the ground.
You know, they had only been out for less than two hours, but I didn't expect them to catch a nest of rabbits so quickly.
Then Guo Ningwan and her siblings surrounded Deng Qingling and talked about the process of catching rabbits.
The noise gave Deng Qingling a headache and she couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows.
"Okay, okay, come here quickly. Didn't you say you wanted to raise a little rabbit? Why don't you put the little rabbit away?" Guo Jianping said.
Guo Ningwan said to Deng Qingling with a smile, "Mom, my dad promised to let us raise these three little rabbits. Aren't these little rabbits cute?"
"It's very cute." Deng Qingling saw the little fluffy rabbit and thought it was indeed very cute. No wonder the children liked it.
"You can keep rabbits, but they can only be kept at home. You can't bring them to the store."
"Why?" Guo Ningwan pulled Deng Qingling's hand and shook it, pouting and saying coquettishly, "No, no, I want to see the little rabbit every day."
Deng Qingling pinched Guo Ningwan's chubby, pink, and cute little face, shook her head, and whispered, "No, that won't work. If the rabbit reaches its molting period, it will shed a lot of hair. Then the rabbit hair will be everywhere. It's so unhygienic. How can the store still do business?"
After hearing this reason, Guo Ningwan's full of expectations instantly became disappointed.
But she didn't throw a tantrum and force Deng Qingling to agree to take the rabbit to town, because she knew her mother would not lie to her.
"Little sister, it's okay. We will come back every week during the holidays, and we can still see the little rabbits." Guo Ning comforted with a smile.
Hearing her sister say this, Guo Ningwan felt much happier. She responded crisply, "Yeah."
Then the brothers and sisters squatted on the ground and looked at the rabbit.
Deng Qingling smiled and said, "Just kill the big rabbit. Mom will make braised rabbit meat for you tonight." Rabbits are so cute, of course they have to be braised.
Looking down at the small ball, Deng Qingling said, "As for these three little rabbits, they are still so small that the bamboo cage at home can't hold them. Let's use the rotten water tank in the backyard for now." I will go back to town tomorrow to see if there are any iron cages for sale.
"Great! Let's eat braised rabbit."
When they heard that there was something delicious to eat, Guo Ningwan and her siblings were immediately overjoyed.
"What's braised rabbit meat?" At this time, Guo Youxing walked in from outside.
"Wow." He saw the rabbit on the ground and said with a smile, "You caught a rabbit!"
"Yes, Grandpa, we caught a nest of rabbits. My mom said she would make braised rabbit meat tonight and let us keep the little rabbits at home." Guo Haoxi said.
"Raising rabbits? I don't have a suitable cage at home." Guo Youxing looked up at the sky, which was about to turn dark. "Before it gets completely dark, I'll go to the back mountain and cut some old bamboo to make a cage for the rabbits."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Then, Guo Youxing went out with a sickle.
When Guo Jianping finished killing the rabbit, Guo Youxing came back from the back mountain dragging a long and thick bamboo.
Then, Guo Youxing and Guo Jianping started chopping bamboo and nailing rabbit cages at the door of the main hall, so that they could continue working after it was completely dark with the help of the light in the main hall.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household in the village had electricity wires and installed electric lights.
Deng Qingling returned to the kitchen with the freshly slaughtered rabbit meat. She cut the rabbit meat into pieces and asked Guo Ninghuan to help light the fire.
After the water was hot, Deng Qingling poured the rabbit meat into the pot and blanched it to remove the fishy smell.
"Huanhuan, go chop up the onions, ginger and garlic. I'll need them later." Deng Qingling said to Guo Ninghuan who was sitting in front of the stove and lighting a fire.
"Yeah." Guo Ninghuan responded and stood up and walked to the chopping board to cut side dishes.
After Deng Qingling took the rabbit meat out of the pot, she poured out the water in the pot.
Then she scooped a little into the pot, added the rabbit meat, and fried the rabbit meat on both sides until golden brown.
Deng Qingling poured the chopped onions, ginger, and garlic into the pot and sautéed them until fragrant. Then she said to Guo Ninghuan, "Huanhuan, go get some sugar."
"good."
While Guo Ninghuan turned around, Deng Qingling secretly added some cooking wine to the pot to enhance the flavor.
Then, I poured in a little soy sauce stored at home to adjust the color.
After Guo Ninghuan brought the sugar over, Deng Qingling sprinkled it on the rabbit meat to increase its sweetness.
Stir-fry the rabbit meat, then add some water to cover the rabbit meat, cover the pot and simmer for about 1 hour.
Wait until the soup thickens and the rabbit meat becomes soft, tender and delicious before serving.
As time passed, the rich aroma of rabbit meat wafted out.
Guo Haochen and his two siblings were watching Guo Youxing and Guo Jianping busy at the door. When they smelled the fragrance, they knew the rabbit meat was ready.
They came running in one by one.
"Mom, shall we eat now? I'm starving." Guo Ningwan looked at the rosy and fragrant rabbit meat in the pot and couldn't help swallowing.
