Chapter 875 The whole rabbit family was captured



Chapter 875 The whole rabbit family was captured

When Old Man Zhuang heard that those people were still hoping Lu Qingqing would go into the mountains to catch wild boars for them, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

If something has value, it means there is no immediate danger.

However, if there are large insects in the mountains, going into the mountains means facing great danger.

In this world, it's incredibly difficult for ordinary people like them to survive!

Seeing that the two of them still looked worried, Lu Qingqing began to take out the game she had hunted from the car.

Seeing the pheasants and rabbits being thrown out one by one, the melancholy on Old Zhuang and Sun Yue's faces vanished.

The sight of the twenty-odd rabbits and the dozen or so chickens on the ground left the two men speechless with astonishment.

Sun Yue stepped forward, picked up the fat rabbit, and weighed it in her hand.

"Qingqing, are there so many rabbits on the east mountain?"

"You didn't capture the whole rabbit family, did you?"

Old Zhuang's eyes widened as he walked over and rummaged through the pile of rabbits.

"This, so much meat, how many days will it take to eat it!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Qingqing's expression relaxed.

"There are plenty of rabbits on that mountain. After we finish eating these, we'll go back into the mountain."

Who knows, we might not lack meat this winter!

Qin Lang was unloading the vehicle frame when he heard her say that.

Thinking about the rabbits that were almost overflowing in that space, he nodded in agreement.

Later on, the two of them went hunting without even having to go into the mountains.

After leaving Fushan Town, I'll find a place to spend a day in this space.

When you return, just bring back the 'prey'.

Just then, Old Man Zhuang came over, took the work from his hands, and gave him some instructions:

"Qingqing, Xiaolang, you two should go inside and rest."

Xiaoyue and I have tidied up all this. We'll make you spicy rabbit and chicken stew with mushrooms for dinner tonight!

Both of these are foods that Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang love to eat.

The two smiled and agreed, then went back to their room to wash up and rest on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Although I managed to get some sleep last night, I was woken up by a big bug in the middle of the night, so my sleep quality wasn't very good.

Although it hasn't reached the point of causing a headache, I am feeling somewhat tired.

Sun Yue led Xiaobai into the stable and groomed it.

After adding food and water, they also went to help Old Man Zhuang cook.

When Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang woke up again, they smelled a strong aroma of meat.

The two put on their cotton-padded coats and opened the door, only to find that the fragrance in the yard was even stronger.

Hearing the noise, Old Man Zhuang opened the door and saw the two of them come out. He quickly waved to them.

"You're awake. Dinner's ready too. Come wash your hands and eat."

This chicken and mushroom stew smells amazing today!

The two responded and quickly ran into the house.

Because of the cooking, Old Man Zhuang's room was warmer than the other rooms.

Once inside, even the thick cotton-padded coat I was wearing felt a bit too heavy to wear.

The two washed their hands and went straight to the kang (heated brick bed).

When I sat down, the kang (heated brick bed) was so hot it was almost burning my bottom.

Place your dried hands on the kang (heated brick bed).

It got unbearably hot in just a short while.

Qin Lang took the cushions they usually sat on, one for each person, and arranged them according to their positions.

Seeing the two sit down, Old Zhuang lifted the pot lid and brought out the spicy rabbit meat that had been cooked inside.

The moment the pot lid was opened, the aroma of numbing spiciness wafted over.

Lu Qingqing quickly stepped forward to take it and put it back on the kang table.

Seeing the spices clinging to the rabbit meat and smelling its delicious aroma, I couldn't resist tearing off a small piece.

The moment it enters your mouth, that numbing sensation kicks in.

Right!

Old Zhuang was also very happy to see her nodding as she ate.

He and Xiaoyue worked hard for half the afternoon, and thankfully, they didn't waste the rabbit meat.

Seeing that Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were still staring at the meat, he smiled and said:

"Alright, stop waiting like an idiot."

I braised ten of those rabbits!

"You two eat first, I'll get the other dish out and then it'll be ready."

As he spoke, he went to the cabinet and took out a large basin.

Place it on the stove and start ladling in chicken stew with mushrooms, spoonful by spoonful.

At this moment, Sun Yue also returned from adding charcoal to the stable.

As soon as he entered the house, he ran to the stove.

"It's so cold outside!"

Seeing that she was shivering from the cold, Old Man Zhuang pointed to the spot where Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang had just washed their hands.

"Xiaoyue, the water in that basin is still warm, go and soak your hands."

The food is ready now; I can come and eat after washing my hands.

Sun Yue craned her neck to look into the basin, and upon seeing the glistening chicken, she responded crisply.

Before long, the four of them sat down at the kang table.

With Old Man Zhuang's shout of "Let's eat!", the four of them began to eat heartily.

All I can say is that the mushrooms these days are incredibly fresh.

Wild mushrooms stewed with wild chicken, the taste is absolutely amazing.

Lu Qingqing kept eating, but only one thought was in her mind.

Who was the genius who invented chicken stew with mushrooms?

It's so delicious!

The four of them enjoyed their meal inside, but it was a hardship for their neighbors on either side.

Because it hasn't snowed these days, both families are only eating one meal a day.

Especially the Sun family, because of the incident caused by Sun Erhe, they had to pay a lot of grain in compensation.

Originally, the family was very careful with their food supplies, hoping to make do until spring.

After losing so much money, it's completely hopeless.

But with such a large family, they couldn't just wait to starve to death.

In order to survive, Sun Laohai and his wife estimated the amount of food they had at home.

From the day the grain compensation began, the whole family ate only a small handful of grain each day.

This small amount of grain, along with a large basin of water, is boiled and then simmered in the pot for quite a while.

They would eat the grains only after they had been soaked until they were mushy.

Even if the grain is overcooked, there won't be much left.

This meal consisted entirely of thin porridge.

The adults are fine; they know the situation at home.

I was hungry, so I just endured it.

But children can't stand being hungry, and they cry out for food countless times a day.

We didn't have to be on duty today, so the whole family spent the day lying on the kang (heated brick bed).

I finally managed to stay awake until dark, but then I went back to lying down.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly smelled a strong, overpowering aroma of meat.

The whole family couldn't help but take a deep breath from the aroma of the meat.

After taking a few deep breaths of the aroma, Dahai's wife realized what was happening.

Fortunately, he's asleep now.

If he's still awake, he'll definitely cry and whine for meat when he smells it.

Sigh, with things like this at home, we really have nothing to trade for meat.

As soon as I thought that, I felt my son in my arms twitch upwards.

Then, it moved upwards a little more.

After taking a long breath through its little nose, it opened its eyes.
