Chapter 18 There is no such thing as a free lunch
I saw a porcelain basin with a missing mouth containing half a pot of boiled meat pieces, white mixed with a lump of black and yellow foamy soup wrapped in the meat, if it weren't for the lack of laundry detergent in this era, she suspected that Zhan Qianche had put the laundry detergent as salt.
The little girl sat on a stool, picked up chopsticks and poked at the rabbit meat in the basin, and then asked Bai Qianning with a frown: "Mother, shouldn't this be poisonous!" ”
"Ahem...... cough dryly, but did not speak, just looking at the appearance of this rabbit meat, it is not too much to say that it is poisonous. It's just that now the people who send people under the fence and eat other people's homes, how can there be any reason to dislike it, and besides, this thing is just a little bit worse, and it tastes good?
After thinking about it, Bai Qianning picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat in the bowl for the little girl, and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, how can this be poisonous, you smell it, how fragrant this meat is, eat it quickly, Wang Gongzi also sit down and eat." ”
"Hmm" Zhan Qianche was already very mentally prepared for his cooking skills, sat down, and ate it in a hurry, the little girl saw him eat so 'fragrant', and believed his mother's words, picked up the chopsticks and put the rabbit meat in the bowl to his mouth, and Bai Qianning also picked up a piece and ate it.
"Poof!! Mother, it's unpalatable, it's unpalatable! The little girl spit out the rabbit meat in her mouth without giving any face.
Although Bai Qianning didn't have such a big reaction, a thin and fair-skinned face was also twisted together, and his face raised his head like ashes, forcing himself to swallow half of the rabbit meat in his mouth, before he said: "This taste is a little unsatisfactory!" Hehe..... But it's not unpalatable, just add a little salt." With that, he got up and went to the stove to find salt.
"That...... The salt is gone! ”
Perhaps seeing the painful expressions on Bai Qianning and the little girl's faces, Zhan Qianche cleared his throat in embarrassment, stood up and said, "If you can't eat, you don't have to force yourself to eat, I'll go next door to change a few steamed buns for you first" After speaking, he turned around and took off a fox skin on the wall and went out the door.
Bai Qianning wanted to stop him, but the fishy smell in her mouth made her turn her head and almost vomit, and the little girl bounced up from the bench with relief, shouting: "Mother, water, I want to drink water." ”
"Okay, my mother will pour it for you." Bai Qianning patted his chest, stood up, took the teapot on the stove, poured two bowls of water for himself and the little girl, and poured it down with a gurgling voice, only to cry without tears: "There is really no free lunch in this world." ”
Bai Qian stared at the rabbit meat in the basin, took it up and looked out of the door, saw that there was no one outside, turned around and went to the stove to get a basin and went out to the well in the northwest corner of the yard to draw a basin of water and pour it into the pot, seeing that the fire in the stove was dying, he looked around again, and finally found a pile of firewood covered with straw in the corner of the wall by the window, and walked over and hugged a bundle back.
"Mother, I'll help you." The little girl understood that her mother was going to cook again, so she also followed the fart and picked up a few firewood piled up to the stove, which was picked up by Zhan Qianche when he was hunting, fortunately there was a straw cover, so as not to be soaked in snow and water to return to the moisture.
Got firewood, blew a few breaths into the firewood hole, the fire burned vigorously again, and when the water in the pot boiled, Bai Qianning carefully picked out the rabbit meat in the pot with chopsticks and put it in the pot over the water, and filtered the meat foam residue on it before it was fished out.
