Back in Tujia Village, Ren Kuo did not go home directly, but went to Tumen's house first, because he didn't know how to stew hares and needed to be handed over to Tumen's mother to clean up.

Tumen's mother was standing at the door anxiously waiting, and when she saw Ren Kuo come back safely, a gentle bear hug was naturally indispensable.

Then he pulled Ren Kuo, checked whether there was any injury inside and out, and when it was confirmed that there was only a little skin injury, he was relieved.

Although this mother's actions are rude, the warm current in Ren Kuo's heart continues to surge throughout his body, and his sense of happiness is extremely strong.

"Mother, you can clean up this hare! we are going to feast on it tonight!" Ren Kuo excitedly took the bamboo cage from Tumen's hand and handed it to Tumen's mother.

"Speaking of tidying up, I seem to have one more thing to do!" Tumen's mother took the bamboo cage, put it aside, looked at Tumen, and said.

"Mother, please!" Ren Kuo looked at her eyes and understood that someone was going to be unlucky.

"Ouch! mother, you should say hello in another place!"

...

A moment later.

"Mother, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Tumen! No one would have thought that an iron civet cat would emerge..."Ren Kuo pulled the corner of Tumen's mother's clothes and told him what had happened.

"Oh... Well, let's let this stinky boy go this time!" the mother threw the dirt gate aside, and took the bamboo cage to clean up the hare.

"Who the hell are you in-law? You should have explained it to me earlier! What a pit!" Tumen covered his buttocks and looked at Ren Kuo, his teeth itching with hatred.

"This is a punishment for not taking a good look at the snow fox!" Ren Kuo said coldly.

Tumen shut his mouth in a huff.

Ren Kuo saw that Tumen was no longer talking, so he said a piece of news that Tumen was very interested in.

"I forgive you, come on, come on, I'll tell you good news, I saw a big bird's nest in the barren mountain..."

"Mother, I'll learn to cook with you!" After Ren Kuo finished speaking, he ran to Tumen's mother in high spirits.

"Ren Kuo, hurry up and tell me where that bird's nest is!" Tumen was stunned for a moment, and then asked excitedly after Ren Kuo.

"Tumen! You want to kidnap Ren Kuo and go hunting with you again! I don't think my ass has bloomed yet, right?" Tumen's mother glared at him and scolded.

"No, no, I was wrong, mother..."Tumen said aggrievedly.

Ren Kuo smiled, and squatted next to him to watch how his mother cleaned up the hare.

Try to keep the process in mind.

If you want to eat a delicious stewed rabbit meat, it is not an easy task, you first need to go through the steps of slaughtering, peeling, cleaning, washing, chopping and so on.

Tumen's mother was very interested in stewed meat, and after chopping the pieces and washing them to remove the blood, she boiled them in a large pot for thirty breaths to remove the blood foam.

Then, soak it in rice wine and aged vinegar for two quarters of an hour, one to remove the fishy smell and retain the umami, and the other to make the meat soft and tender.

During the soaking process, Tumen's mother also boiled a pot of ingredients, including ginger slices, red peppers, star anise, fennel, shiitake mushrooms, and so on.

In fact, before stewing the ingredients, there is a very important step, that is, first stir-fry the soy sauce, which was boiled by Tumen's mother herself.

The soybeans are steamed, fermented, and exposed, and a lot of condiments are added to them, and the soy sauce made is thick in form, fresh and fragrant, and after stir-frying, the strong fragrance is overflowing.

Smelling this pot of thick soup, Ren Kuo's stomach kept ringing, and Tumen's mother kindly touched his head and taught him that if you want to eat a good stew, patience is the most important.

Tumen grabbed a handful of locust tree branches and threw them into the stove, pouted, angry in his heart, and muttered, "It's all said that you married a daughter-in-law and forgot your mother, but it's good for you to have a new son and forget to kiss your son!"

After Ren Kuo listened, he silently covered his eyes, only to hear a wail, thinking that he would talk less and do more things in the future, and keep in mind this rule of survival proven by practice.

Two quarters of an hour had passed, and Tumen's mother took the soaked rabbit meat, poured it into a boiling pot, covered the pot, and ordered Tumen to fill the firewood slowly, and it needed to be simmered over low heat.

After a while, the aroma of rabbit meat filled the entire kitchen with steam, and even Snow Fox swallowed his saliva, not to mention Ren Kuo, whose stomach kept screaming.

The big pot of rabbit meat has been simmering for an hour, and the moment the lid is opened, the umami of the rabbit meat, mixed with the mellow aroma of the ingredients, gushes out together, and the smell is unforgettable...

The original large pot of soup has been boiled to the bottom, and the remaining soup is thick and viscous, and the color is attractive.

Tumen's mother brought out a large clay bowl with soup and meat and brought it to the dining table.

Ren Kuo's face showed an intoxicated expression, his eyes were full of gold stars, and he followed this large pottery bowl full of rabbit meat all the way, just like when facing Steppenwolf, he hugged the bamboo cage tightly, and he was extremely persistent...

Finally ready to eat, Ren Kuo sat at the dining table, rubbed his shoulders, stared closely at the hot and fragrant rabbit meat, waiting for his mother to serve the meal and ring the bell.

"Okay, Ren Kuo, it's time to eat..."Finally, the mother rang the bell for the meal.

Although Tumen's mother is rough and heroic, an authentic temperament, but for cooking, eating, is very particular, there is a special bell to open the meal, according to Tumen, the mother is to remember the deceased father.

Ren Kuo has a deep understanding of this, the first time he went to dinner, he didn't know that there was such a rule, and he didn't tell him in advance about the lack of virtue in Tumen, and then, today's Tumen was Ren Kuo's time...

Ren Kuo excitedly put the snow fox aside, picked up the chopsticks, and first sandwiched a piece of meat for his mother, and then a piece for the snow fox.

Then, I picked up a piece, sniffed it deeply, and put it in my mouth, a little hot, but the temperature mixed with the melt-in-the-mouth taste, the strong fresh fragrance of rabbit meat permeated the mouth and nose, and even the breath was full of fragrance...

So, a family of three and a fox, feasting, the wind and clouds, a big bowl of delicious hare stew did not even have soup left.

In the depths of the barren mountain, the head wolf was snoring soundly, suddenly his nose twitched, he stood up, looked in the direction of Tujia Village, and the corners of his mouth flowed a string of saliva again, so he stood on the hill, and in the moonlight, he looked up to the sky and howled...

Now, the speculation about the curse of the wolves has been lifted, and Ren Kuo has undoubtedly become a shining star in the village.

First, because of the fear of the curse, he has been lonely for more than ten years, and the villagers feel guilty, and the second is that he has won the support of Steppenwolf, and some villagers even think that he is a god.

In the following days, Ren Kuo continued to go into the mountains every day to pick up the branches of the locust tree and put them at the entrance of the village for the villagers to take at will.

The villagers once refused to let Ren Kuo collect firewood for them, but this has become Ren Kuo's daily habit, and they are still vying to take over Ren Kuo to live with them, but they are also politely refused.

Every day, the villagers sent a lot of delicious meals, which made Ren Kuo and Snow Fox constantly burp, and some villagers rebuilt the house for Ren Kuo, and also set up a stove, and prepared various utensils and seasonings for cooking, which can make Ren Kuole bloom.

Since there was a stove at home, Ren Kuo refused all the villagers to send food, and began to grope for self-sufficiency, only occasionally going to Tumen's house to learn how to stir-fry and cook with his mother, and rubbing a delicious meal by the way.

The so-called practice makes perfect, it didn't take long for Ren Kuo to gradually master the essence of cooking in continuous attempts and failures, and the little snow fox became the biggest beneficiary, and sometimes called his mother and Tumen to come over to taste.

Ren Kuo also cleaned up a vacant lot in the yard, asked the villagers for some seeds, and planted a variety of flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

Nowadays, Ren Kuo's life is exceptionally good, often playing in the yard with the little snow fox, and sometimes Tumen will shout that Ren Kuo will continue to set the hare.

Now that he has the protection of Steppenwolf, he no longer has to worry about danger, and he will often share his stewed hare with Steppenwolf.

After the long winter, the horn of spring sounds, because the spring in the Gobi is short, so Ren Kuo hopes to live every day to the fullest and happy.

Ren Kuo's favorite thing to do is to go fishing by the river, and then go home to cook a sumptuous fresh fish feast and invite the villagers to taste it.

In this short time of spring, accompanied by the little snow fox, walking in the Gobi desert, shuttling through the barren mountains and jungles, looking up at the bright starry sky, listening to the song of flowers and insects...

Of course, in addition to the snow fox, the most meeting with Ren Kuo is Tumen, since Ren Kuo told him about the big bird's nest, he has pestered Ren Kuo almost every day, and Ren Kuo has never told him.

Now, spring has arrived, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and everything recovers, and it's time to tell Tumen about that big bird's nest...
