Chapter 321: Golden Feather's New Prey
After sending off Old Man Qu, Li leisurely went back to the house to help Sun Xiaoying clean up the table and dishes together.
Sun Xiaoying asked who this old man was, and Li Youran told her that he was a neighbor of No. 78 Hospital, and taught him to play Tai Chi and Go, and he was a very good person. It's a pity that the little girl doesn't seem to be very interested in these two classic quintessences, Li Youran introduced them, but she couldn't get any response, so she had to give up when she was bored.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Li leisurely went back to the bedroom for a lunch break, Sun Xiaoying was in good spirits today, and took Tu Tuo to the terrace and played on the swing.
After a while, Sun Xiaoying's giggling and chirping voices sounded on the roof, coming in from the open west window, and one person and one bird seemed to be having a great time.
Li Youran smiled and shook her head, it seems that this little girl has not fully grown up. But that's fine, people are too mature and worry about a lot of things, no matter what class they are in.
Two days ago, she had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday in the sunshine room of the bun shop, and the kitchen carefully baked a beautiful three-layer cake, and all the managers arrived at the scene to wish her a happy birthday. At that time, the little girl was wearing a birthday crown, a long white dress, her little face was red in the candlelight, and her eyes were starlight, just like the little princess in a fairy tale.
Fang Cheng and Huzi, the two restless guys, looked for an opportunity to play tricks on their unlucky boss, and after dividing the cake, they used the tactic of one person distracting and the other acting, and put the cream on the cake on the fat man's face, drawing three white cat whiskers, and the latter didn't even notice it. This small show made everyone very happy, but Director Gu didn't appreciate it very much, and he twisted the fat man's arm hard, and the fat man looked aggrieved at the time.
Li leisurely collapsed on the bed with his hands on the pillow, his eyes slightly closed, recalling the scene of that day, and unconsciously the corners of his mouth turned up.
In a daze, I don't know how long it took, I suddenly heard a clear eagle cry from above, followed by Sun Xiaoying's exclamation.
"Brother Youran, Brother Youran, Jin Yu grabbed something and came back."
Li Youran immediately jumped up from the bed when he heard this, Jin Yu, this guy doesn't have a long memory, did he go to steal chickens again? Alas, how can we teach it a lesson?
He walked out of the room and trotted down the stairs to the third-floor terrace.
Looking up, Jin Yu was squatting on the wooden bar, leaning his neck, looking high-spirited, and let out a sharp cry from time to time. Frightened, she flew onto the little girl's shoulder, and didn't dare to leave half a step.
Li Youran walked over to check, and sure enough, there were blood stains on the eagle's talons again.
"Brother Youran, where are you?" Sun Xiaoying got off the swing and pointed to the west of the terrace as she spoke.
Li leisurely took a look, there was a gray-yellow fluffy thing on the ground, walked over and squatted down, and turned the thing over, not feeling happy.
"Xiaoying, you don't have a good look at it and yell, this is a rabbit, a hare, I thought Jin Yu had done something bad again." Li Youran turned his head and said to Sun Xiaoying.
"Ah, it's a rabbit. I'll see. Sun Xiaoying heard him say this, and hurriedly walked over.
I saw a gray long-eared rabbit lying on its back on the ground, its eyes were closed, and like the hen last time, the fatal wound was obviously concentrated in the neck, and it had been out of breath for a long time.
"Oops, so much blood. Rabbits are so pitiful. Seeing the tragic image of the hare, Sun Xiaoying frowned unconsciously.
Seeing the blood, he was even more frightened, his neck shrunk and he didn't say a word.
"You, why don't you say that the fish is so pitiful when you eat fish? Hares are such a thing as having strong fecundity, and if there are too many of them in one area, it will cause damage to agriculture and forestry, and at this time, it is necessary to rely on their natural enemies to control it. Just like Jin Yu, a natural hunter. Li Youran felt amused and explained to her. …,
"Fish and rabbits are different." Sun Xiaoying said, the rabbit was fluffy and cute, and it was cleaned up by the big eagle, which still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's no different, it's all food." Li leisurely said and stood up, while grabbing the rabbit's ears and lifting it up.
The weight is not light, and it is estimated to be about four catties.
"Hehe, it's still a big fat rabbit, okay, there's game to eat at night." Li Youran is very happy, serious game is rare now, and it can't be bought on the market.
He turned his head to look at the west of Xiaolou, there was a large forest to the west of Mingcui Lake, and beyond that was Lingfeng Mountain, maybe those places were areas where hares were active.
"Tsk, tsk." There was a golden feather cry in his ears, and this guy saw that Li Youran was carrying the rabbit for a long time and ignored it, and he didn't feel a little anxious.
"Okay, good, it's really a good bird, it's a serious thing to do at this time, it's worthy of praise, and I'll go back and wear a big red flower for you." Li leisurely threw the rabbit to the door, walked back to Jin Yu, stroked its head and the willow leaf feathers on its neck, and praised it again.
Of course, verbal praise was not enough, so he immediately took out a large handful of special beef jerky and put it in the bowl next to the wooden bar.
Jin Yu was rewarded with both spiritual and material resources, so he was satisfied and enjoyed the food in peace.
"Xiaoying, let's go, go to the kitchen, and look at my brother to make you a spiced rabbit meat, wrap it if you like." Li leisurely carried the hare downstairs.
"Brother Youran, otherwise, you deal with the front first, and I'll help when you stew." Sun Xiaoying knew that the previous steps must be skinning, disemboweling or something, and she looked uncomfortable. It's okay to say that it's okay to put it in the pot later.
"Okay, then I'll get it first." Li Youran smiled, carried the rabbit all the way to the kitchen, prepared the guys, skinned the rabbit, disemboweled, removed the head and five internal organs, washed it and cut it into pieces and put it in a basin.
Then pour some salt into the basin, mix the pieces of meat and evenly, ready to marinate for the afternoon. This process is to remove the smell of blood and earth.
When he was done, he washed his hands and went back to his bedroom to rest.
It wasn't until about five o'clock in the afternoon that the brother and sister came to the kitchen together to prepare dinner.
Li Youran first blanched the marinated hare meat pieces in boiling water, then took them out and rinsed them with clean water.
On the other side, Sun Xiaoying set up a soup pot to boil water, and added cinnamon, peppercorns, spices, green onions, ginger, salt and other seasonings to the water. The processed pieces of rabbit meat are then also placed in the soup pot.
The water boiled quickly, poured some rice wine, added a spoonful of sugar half an hour later, and simmered over low heat for more than 50 minutes in total, and a pot of fragrant spiced rabbit meat was born.
Use a large spoon to scoop the pieces of meat into the soup bowl and bring them to the table.
Hare meat is really not comparable to domestic, coupled with the cooperation of the space stream, the final product of this spiced rabbit meat is very successful, the color is dark red, the aroma is attacking, the taste is smooth and tender and elastic, sweet and salty, so that the brother and sister have a great appetite, and this dinner has an extra bowl of rice than usual.
Maybe there will be wild meat to enjoy in the future, and that guy Jin Yu also knows to take the initiative to contribute something to the family, yes, it's not in vain for my careful teaching. Li Youran thought with satisfaction while nibbling on the rabbit leg.
