The happy little days of the Ye family

When Mr. Ye came back with fish and rabbits, Mrs. Ye was preparing lunch in the kitchen, while Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing were picking vegetables in the yard.

Ye Qingqing watched Mr. Ye take out a fat rabbit from the basket, dropped the beans in his hand, and walked forward quickly.

"What a fat rabbit, at least 7 pounds, right?"

Mr. Ye smiled very proudly. He went to the rabbit shed every day. He had a share of the credit for raising these rabbits so well.

"This is the first batch of rabbits raised in the rabbit shed. This is the biggest and fattest one. I will take the scale beam out to weigh it later."

"I'll get it."

Old Mrs. Ye was impatient and ran back to the house to get the scale beam like a gust of wind.

Mr. Ye handed the rabbit in his hand to Ye Qingqing, turned around and took down the bucket containing the fish from the cart.

"Is this a fish caught in the pond over at Zhulin Mountain?" Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up as he looked at the fish in the bucket.

"This fish was caught in the puddle at the foot of Xiaohou Mountain, but this fish was also caught from the pond. The fish in the pond are probably about the same size."

Ye Qingqing was drooling looking at these fat and tender fish.

"These are fish that grew up drinking mountain spring water. You have to taste them carefully to see what the difference is."

Just as Mrs. Ye came back with the weighing rod, she said, "Hey, the fish at the foot of the mountain are so big and they are so fat."

Mr. Ye lifted the fish to the corner and placed it in a cool place.

"Before I had permanent workers, I would cut pig grass and feed the fish every two days. Now that I have permanent workers, I feed it every day."

"There's so much pigweed on the water that I can't finish it. Look, my belly is so full."

Mrs. Ye carefully looked at the fish she caught, "The grass carp weighs about 4 and a half kilograms, and there should be about five or six crucian carps. By the end of the year, we can clear the pond and catch fish."

Mr. Ye nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Clear the pond to catch fish at the end of the year."

"But there is a spring under the big puddle, so we can't do it. We can only use nets to catch fish."

Ye Qingqing on the side suggested: "Since the water in the big puddle cannot be dried, why don't we keep the fish in it and eat it slowly."

"The pond over there is dry, and there must be some small fish. You can catch all those small fish and put them in the big puddle to keep."

At this time, Ye Xilin, who was fighting pigweed, also came back and intervened.

"My sister is right, the puddle is not big. When the time comes, I can make a few long-handled ones to fish into the big net. When I want to eat fish, I can go to the puddle to catch fish. It will be very convenient."

Mr. Ye also thought about going fishing there, "It would be good to keep it for fishing."

"After the autumn harvest, I will invite a few old friends to go fishing at the water hole, and bring two side dishes and wine. It will be a pleasure to think about it."

Mrs. Ye thought that there weren't many fish in the big puddle, so it would be good to keep them for herself.

"Okay, let's keep the fish that grew up by drinking the spring water for us to eat. We can keep the fish for dinner when your father comes back, and we'll eat the fat rabbit at noon."

At this time, Mother Ye also came out of the kitchen, "Mom, this rabbit is so fat. Let's cook half of it at noon and save the other half for dinner."

"Okay, you can do half of the embroidery at noon and save the rest for the evening."

"Qingqing, please bring the rabbits over quickly and let me weigh the first batch of rabbits."

Ye Qingqing brought the fat rabbit tied up with five flowers to Mrs. Ye and put it on the scale beam. The weight of the fat rabbit could no longer be hidden.

Old Mrs. Ye fiddled with the weight on the scale beam familiarly, "Hey, it weighs 7 pounds and 6 taels. The rabbit here is really fat."

Ye Xilin goes to the small back mountain to hunt pig grass every day. It can be said that the rabbits in the rabbit shed grew up under his eyes. The rabbits in the rabbit shed don't seem to be that big?

Ye Xilin looked at Mr. Ye in confusion, "Except for the breeding rabbits, the other rabbits in the rabbit shed don't seem to be so fat, right?"

Mr. Ye smiled and said: "This is the fattest rabbit among the first batch. The remaining ones are estimated to be more than 6 pounds. They will be ready for slaughter in about half a month."

Ye Mu went back to the kitchen and brought out a sharp kitchen knife, carrying the fat rabbit, and called Ye Qingqing to go to the backyard to deal with the rabbit.

When Mr. Ye saw that Ye's mother and Ye Qingqing were going to kill a rabbit, he said, "Xiu Xiu, I'll take care of this rabbit. You and Qingqing are weak and timid, so don't be scared later."

Mother Ye smiled and said, "It's okay. Although I don't often kill animals, I can still kill rabbits."

"I just want to teach Qingqing how to kill rabbits. Qingqing will get married in a few years and needs to learn many things quickly."

Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye also knew that Ye Qingqing was a bit spoiled, so they didn't say anything and asked the mother and daughter to kill rabbits in the backyard.

You are already engaged, and it is time to learn many things. It is better to learn it before you get married than to marry into someone else's family and be rejected by others.

Ye Xilin on the side also muttered: "I know how to kill rabbits. The Tang family is next door. When the time comes, I will just go to the Tang family to help my sister deal with it. If it doesn't work, you can also bring it back to get it done."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Mrs. Ye beside him.

"Just say a few words. No one else will be as good as yourself. You don't have to do it, but you can't not do it. Your sister will have a lot to learn in the future."

Ye Mu in the backyard carefully taught Ye Qingqing how to kill rabbits.

"Don't be afraid, I've already held down the rabbit. Be careful when you do it later so you don't cut your hand."

Ye Qingqing helps Ye Mu all the year round and can also cook some simple meals, but he has never done anything like killing chickens or rabbits.

Today I came up to kill the rabbit, but Ye Qingqing really couldn't do it.

Ye Qingqing looked at the rabbit that was still jumping around and couldn't hold the knife in his hand steadily.

Although Ye Mu held down the rabbit, Ye Qingqing was still afraid. The hand holding the knife shook like a sieve. He took several deep breaths before taking action ruthlessly.

In a flurry of excitement, the rabbit couldn't even look at it, but at least the rabbit was finally solved.

After the rabbit died, Ye Mu taught Ye Qingqing how to skin the rabbit and disembowel it to remove the internal organs.

It was Ye Qingqing's first time to skin a rabbit, and she felt sick to her stomach when she looked at the bloody rabbit.

In the past few days, Ye Qingqing didn't want to see rabbits anymore, and he didn't even want to eat rabbit meat.

Ye Qingqing's hands were trembling uncontrollably. He took a deep breath for a while and finally managed to deal with the rabbit.

After skinning and cleaning the rabbit, Mother Ye cut the rabbit into two halves. The larger half is hung in the well to keep it fresh.

Chop the other half of the rabbit meat into small pieces. Ye Mu plans to make rabbit meat stewed with potatoes for lunch.

Today's meal was prepared by Ye Qingqing, with Ye Mu's guidance.

Tang Shan went to town to drive cattle carts to attract customers, and Tang Xiaojing also went to the county. Only five people had dinner at home at noon today.

Under the guidance of Ye Mu, Ye Qingqing hurriedly made rabbit meat stewed with potatoes, bacon stir-fried beans and boiled cabbage, and also cooked an egg drop soup.

Although the appearance was a little different, the fried beans with bacon looked dark, and the potatoes in rabbit stewed potatoes had turned into juice, but they tasted pretty good, at least they were cooked.

Ye Qingqing felt that she still had some talent in cooking. Even the rabbit meat stewed with potatoes, which she said she would never eat before the meal, actually tasted pretty good.

Everyone was very supportive and ate all the food on the table.

He kept saying all kinds of good things for free, making Ye Qingqing very happy.

Ye Qingqing heard so many good words that he believed that he was the living god of cooking. He was going to show off his skills and cook a good meal for them in the evening.

It was a pity that Tang Xiaojing went to deliver rabbits to Liang's restaurant in the morning and did not get such a delicious meal.
