Chapter 42 Roasted Whole Lamb
We got five cubs that day. We were so happy that we couldn't stop smiling on the way back. In the evening, I told the other two people through Yan Mo why I wanted to raise animal cubs.
No one knew what Yan Mo had said to them, and they didn't ask any questions afterwards. They just took good care of the five cubs together.
The five cubs must have been born not long ago. I didn't look closely at the time, but when I came back I found that although they all had white fur, they were different species: three snow wolf cubs and two white tiger cubs.
Considering that there were the corpses of a tigress and a female wolf in the pit, it was not surprising.
Unfortunately, no matter how carefully they cared for and fed them, not all of them survived. The snow wolf cub whose breathing was the weakest on the third day ultimately died. They were both relieved and sad for several days.
The remaining four cubs were slightly healthier and able to leave the space, so the four of them held a small meeting and decided that each of them would be responsible for raising one.
The probability of animal mutation is very high, almost close to 85%. These four cubs will most likely become partners fighting side by side with them in the future, so it is best to cultivate their feelings and tacit understanding from an early age.
In the end, Shu Xin got the long-coveted "big cat" little white tiger (female), contestant Yan Mo got a little snow wolf (male), Pi Xiangwen also liked the little white tiger (male), and Mu Qimai held the little snow wolf (male) and couldn't let it go.
The four little ones are still cubs, in the milk-drinking stage. Every day Shuxin would take fresh milk from the cows raised on the second floor of the space and put it in the kitchen. She also found four milk bottles of different colors, one for each person, for easy feeding.
When the four of them are training, they will put the four little snow wolves together and let them play together. Among the four of them, Mu Qimai is the closest to his little snow wolf. He is almost inseparable from the little snow wolf except for training, bathing and going out.
Every time Shu Xin spends too much time with the little white tiger, she gets jealous and says things like "I am not as important as a little white tiger" and "How dare he stay alone in an empty room on such a cold night" and so on...
But that man had an extremely handsome face and spoke in a tone of grievance and depression. Every time Shu Xin had to suspect that she was a "heartless and unfeeling" scumbag who "loved the new and hated the old". She had no way to deal with Yan Mo and could only give up her "new love" to accompany her "old love".
Because of the team they saw at the armory last time, Shuxin and his friends never went to armories in other areas again. They focused on raising their puppies, training them, and improving themselves at home.
Makimai often deals with military personnel and is familiar with special forces.
Although the team was dressed in plain clothes, it was not difficult to tell from some small details in their gestures that they were formally trained soldiers who were sent to carry out this special mission. Combined with their number, it was easy to infer that they were a special forces team.
Since a special team was sent to take over the armory, if they found that the items in one of the armories were missing, they would definitely go to check the other guns immediately and guard them strictly to prevent them from having a chance to take action.
Maybe they have set traps in advance and are waiting for them to act again so that they can catch them all in one fell swoop.
They would not be stupid enough to confront the army head-on for a few weapons in a small armory, which would be no different from self-destruction.
Shuxin and the others were right. After Xiaolou and the others returned that day, they immediately contacted their superiors through special means and sent people to empty the remaining armory within one day. They deliberately left one untouched, hoping to lure Shuxin and the others to take action again. However, they waited for a week and saw no one, so they gave up.
As the days passed, if it weren't for the abnormal temperature outside, Shu Xin would have mistakenly believed that the end of the world had not come.
The four little ones are gradually growing up. In just two months, they no longer look like the skinny and dying ones they were when they were first brought home.
Every day the four little ones are very energetic and tear down a lot of things in the house. Shuxin and his family have no intention of keeping them spoiled. When they are three months old, they will prepare to train them.
Recently, we have started to remove the heater in the living room to gradually let them adapt to the temperature outside.
It was another day off. Yan Mo got up early in the morning to process the lamb that Shu Xin took out from the space. Last night, Shu Xin was watching a TV series before going to bed. She happened to see the people in the series having a dinner party to eat roasted whole lamb. Shu Xin, who hadn't eaten roasted whole lamb for a long time, was so greedy that she was drooling in her dreams.
There was no other choice but to get up early in the morning to marinate the mutton so that it would be convenient for eating in the evening.
Shu Xin gave Yan Mo a live sheep that was raised on the second floor of the space. It was quite big. When Yan Mo dragged the sheep down, Mu Qimai and Mu Xiangwen just came out. They helped to hold down the sheep that was struggling with all its might, and finally killed it successfully.
The steps to prepare roasted whole lamb are very complicated, but the taste is very tempting. The lamb on the iron rack is roasted by charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound. A drop of hot oil slowly slides down along the grain of the plump meat, and slowly the whole living room is filled with the tempting aroma.
The four playful little creatures were also attracted by the aroma, and they squatted beside the roasted whole lamb with Shuxin, without blinking.
The big one could still control his saliva, but the four smaller ones beside him drooled all over the floor, making Yan Mo laugh and cry. Xiangwen, who came over to pour water, saw it and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shu Xin glared at Xiang Wen in anger and ran to prepare other food for dinner. If she continued watching, she really couldn't help drooling.
All the waiting and patience are worth it the moment you put the roasted lamb into your mouth. One bite and your mouth is filled with hot and boiling flavor and a full sense of happiness.
The mutton is already fragrant after being smoked over charcoal fire, and the pepper and salt sauce makes it even more flavorful. The tender, crispy, salty and spicy taste all start to dance in your mouth in an instant, and the delicious taste reaches the tip of your tongue, filling your mouth with the aroma of meat.
The mutton is red in color, spicy, fragrant, shiny, not greasy or smelly, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with delicious meat and unique flavor.
Eating only roasted lamb would definitely make you feel sick, so Shuxin took out some refreshing and delicious side dishes from the space in advance, as well as thin cakes that can be rolled with lamb and secret dipping sauces, accompanied by a little wine, which whetted everyone's appetite.
No one in front of them had time to talk. They just focused on putting delicious food into their mouths. After satisfying their hunger, several of them ate and chatted. The whole meal took them three hours to finish.
They ate well, and the four little ones were not left out. They were able to eat some meat to supplement their nutrition. A piece of tender sheep meat was reserved for them without any seasoning. It was divided into four portions and fed to them. They ate it with great relish.
