Chapter 227: Skinning the Rabbit
By the time she stood on tiptoe to take a look, Zhou Laosan had almost cleaned up the bloodstain.
The remaining intestines were torn out and thrown aside; they did not eat them.
"Brother, this is not scary. Si Ya is very brave." The little girl put her hands on her hips angrily, blaming her brother who was trying to be good to her.
"Okay, okay, okay, next time I won't stop you, but you're not allowed to cry~"
"Humph, Si Ya certainly won't."
Zhou Laosan took one look at his daughter and laughed. This child is so cute.
"Sandan, look, these are rabbit eggs." Zhou Laosan held the two things in his hands and handed them to Zhou Mingyuan for him to touch.
"This rabbit's eggs are so big that I didn't even notice when I was feeding it grass." Zhou Mingyuan pinched it and found it was quite soft.
"It usually hides under its tail, how could you see it?" After Zhou Mingyuan touched it, Zhou Minghua's little hand also stretched out, she also wanted to touch it.
But Zhou Laosan took back the rabbit eggs and didn't let her touch them.
Seeing that his father was speaking so seriously, Zhou Minghua thought that he didn't see his actions, so he took a step forward and insisted on touching it.
Zhou Laosan looked down and felt that there was nothing special, so he just touched it.
Children have poor memories and tend to forget things after a while.
Zhou Minghua touched it with his finger and found it was indeed soft.
Seeing that his daughter had touched it, Zhou Laosan no longer showed any mercy and directly cracked the rabbit eggs.
In just about quarter of an hour, Zhou Laosan turned a cute fat rabbit into a rabbit corpse and cut it into eight pieces.
As Zhou Mingshu and his friend just walked in with baskets, they saw Zhou Laosan waving at them.
"Er Ya, San Ya, the rabbit has been peeled for you, remember to make lunch."
It turned out that they wanted to eat rabbit. The two looked at each other and decided to show off their skills again.
"Got it, uncle. What flavor of rabbit do you want? Braised or spicy? With sauce or dry pot?"
"It's not that complicated. Just do it as you like." Zhou Laosan washed his blood-stained hands and went to the corridor to collect corn kernels.
"Okay, I got it." Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi put the collected snail shells into the warehouse, then took the baskets to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables.
Zhou Mingshu thought about it and decided to make a spicy rabbit.
Put some green vegetables, crispy peanuts and chili peppers, then some dried beans and dried pumpkin, and stick a circle of pancakes along the edge of the pot. This pot of soup will be very fragrant.
These are the only leafy vegetables left in the vegetable garden. The cherry tomatoes and large purple eggplants are almost finished.
There are still some fruits and vegetables left on the plants, which can now be picked, the plants pulled out, and some seasonal vegetables planted.
"Second sister, pick some green onions and coriander over there, and I'll go pick some cherry tomatoes over there to ease the spiciness."
"Okay, pick more."
With the two sisters preparing the meals, Old Mrs. Zhou didn't have to do anything.
After coaxing his grandson to sleep, he helped to pick corn.
The dried corn is very hard and your palm will hurt if you break it for a long time.
With more people, things can be done faster and some of the pain can be shared.
After stewing the spicy rabbit, Zhou Mingshu added two vegetarian dishes to reduce the spiciness.
A sweet stir-fried carrot and a very light stir-fried winter melon are great for relieving greasiness.
A quarter of an hour later, bursts of fragrance came from the kitchen, attracting people in the yard to sniff frequently.
"Look, our two girls have grown up. Now they can go out on their own and will never starve to death."
"That's right. Among the children in our family, Sanya is the best. She can read and do accounting, and most importantly, she can do business. If it weren't for Sanya's ideas, we might still be carrying stones and bags in the town."
What Zhou Laosan said was very right. If it weren't for San Ya's business, the Zhou family would not be able to pay off their debts.
"Yes, if the children are sensible, it means that the adults are not good enough. You should also reflect on yourselves and not hold the children back."
Old Mrs. Zhou changed the subject and started scolding her sons and daughters-in-law.
"Don't worry, mother. We know what we are doing. We can't hold the child back. Now I dream of running forward."
As soon as Liu finished speaking, several adults burst into laughter.
As long as you have this awareness, that's enough.
"I was playing outside the other day and heard that Wang Laizi's family had split up. Dahai and Narcissus wanted to move out and live separately. They said they bought some land from the village chief."
"We shouldn't discuss other people's family affairs, but after all, we are from the same village and it is inevitable to say a few words. Look, this is a living example of elders not being kind and younger generations not loving. No one in this area treats elders like this. It's hard for a good child like Dahai."
Old Mrs. Zhou shook her head regretfully.
"Mom, please stop talking. Who knows about this family's affairs? We don't know what's going on inside."
"That's true, but I've watched Dajiang Dahai grow up. His temperament has been different since he was young. His mother is also very partial to him. If we hadn't seen him born from his mother's belly with our own eyes, everyone would have thought he was picked up."
The affairs of the Wang family are hard to explain. The village chief Wang Fugui is their uncle, and he can't control them, let alone them who are not related by blood.
"Dahai is a good guy. He is ruthless but doesn't talk much. He is honest and hardworking. I have met him several times on the road when the third brother and I went to the town to carry heavy bags. He is a man who can endure hardships."
Zhou Laoer recalled the past. Dahai was a very honest and stubborn person.
"Yes, as long as he gets away from his lecherous elder brother and parents, he will definitely live a good life."
Zhou Laosan smiled and said that the younger generation all sneered at the way Wang Laizi did things.
He is simply a scum among men and a disgrace to Lianglin Village.
"Okay, now let's pick the corn. You've been so busy talking that the corn in the basin hasn't grown at all."
Everyone started laughing. Once they started talking about this outrageous and vulgar thing, they couldn't control their emotions.
The food in the pot is almost ready. Just simmer it for a while before serving.
Zhou Mingqi buried the unburned firewood in the pile of ash, patted his butt and walked out from the stove.
Zhou Mingshu took off the lid of the teapot, letting the heat inside dissipate freely, and it would cool down in a moment.
"Grandma, the meal is ready, it's time to eat."
As soon as Zhou Mingqi shouted, everyone in the yard, young and old, stood up and started to clean up.
After a while, the dining table and chairs were set.
"Oh, I'm in for a treat today. I could smell the fragrance of the food just now." Liu patted the corn silk off her body and laughed out loud.
In the past, I cooked together with my brothers and sisters. I have been cooking for twenty years, and now it is finally their turn to sit down and wait for the ready-made food.
