"Quick! Quick! Stop it, catch it!!" There was a commotion in the fields of Jiu Shu's house next to him. Gu Ye looked curiously and found that Uncle Ninth was intercepting a gray hare with his three sons.
The hare was eagerly pursued, and was scurrying about in the ground like a headless fly. Suddenly it kicked its legs sharply, slid under Ninth Uncle's crotch, and came straight at Gu Ye, who was squatting and cutting sorghum ears.
In those 15 years of troubled times, Gu Ye was not in vain. Although her skills were mocked by the ice cube face, she was Zhan Wu's scum, but here, she was much better than ordinary people. She picked up a sorghum pole and smashed it on the hare's head quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately. This small body has not fully recovered, and the strength is not enough, and it can only knock the hare unconscious.
The unowned wild things on the mountain are usually caught by whoever catches them. The three sons of Uncle Jiu showed disappointment. Aunt Ninth saw it and said with a smile, "Little Ye, you hit the pole really accurately!"
Gu Yehe smirked and said, "It's just a coincidence." After speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
Aunt Ninth glanced at the rabbit and said to her, "This rabbit is quite fat, at least four or five pounds. You are just sick and weak, so you just eat some rabbit meat to make up for it."
"Uncle Ninth and a few older brothers were exhausted from driving this rabbit, and it couldn't run to me, so I was lucky to catch it. If Uncle Ninth and the others did their best, I think we're still half of the family! "Eating a meal of meat is not easy these days. Gu Ye thought of the kindness and help of Aunt Nine's family to their brothers and sisters, and did not want to enjoy this hare alone, so he suggested.
"Damn girl, aren't you stupid? Why do we give the rabbits we caught to other families? It just so happens that we don't have much bacon at home. The autumn harvest is so labor-intensive, how can there be no meat? This rabbit is stewed with radishes. The vermicelli can be eaten for several meals!"
The moment when Gu Ye stunned the hare, Liu Shi also saw it and walked over with joy. Hearing that Gu Ye generously divided half of the rabbit meat, and hurriedly stopped the damned money-losing goods, he even pushed the rabbit meat out, didn't he have a brain
Seeing Liu's greedy face, Gu Ye said expressionlessly, "Uncle Ninth and the others found this rabbit, and he injured his leg and couldn't run fast, so I accidentally knocked him unconscious. Uncle Ninth and Aunt Ninth took pity on me. weak ."
Aunt Jiu heard what she said, and then looked at Liu Shi's expression of wanting to eat people, and immediately understood what Gu Ye was thinking in her heart. If Liu Shi was asked to take all the rabbits, Gu Ming and his sisters would not know if they would be able to eat a bite.
After thinking about this clearly, Aunt Ninth decided to accept the half of the rabbits, and she didn't take advantage of the child Xiaoye. After they were cooked, she could call the two children home, and they could eat two more bites.
Liu Shi angrily raised the sickle in his hand and slashed at Gu Ye. Ninth Uncle's face suddenly changed, he stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the sickle, grabbing it with all his strength: "What are you doing? What if you cut the child?"
"His ninth uncle, I taught the child, what are you mixing with? What do you want to do? You still want to beat people, come and see, the uncle is bullying the sister-in-law. If you don't come, your wife will be beaten to death!" Liu Shi Sitting on the ground with one butt, patted his thigh and pulled a long cavity to cry.
"Ninth brother, what are you doing? You are so angry at me, what's the point of bullying a woman!" Gu Qiao stopped in front of Liu Shi, her eyes widened with anger, and her face flushed with anger.
Back then, he was the second shopkeeper in the Yancheng shop, and every time he came back, even the patriarch treated him politely. now what? The younger brother in the clan can step on him casually! It's all Miao's fault. If it wasn't for her, he might have taken the position of the big shopkeeper, and now he is eating and drinking spicy food in the city!
"Seventh Brother, Seventh Sister-in-law has done a bit too much. How can anyone slash children with a sickle! Is this teaching a child? It's killing people! Don't just listen to your daughter-in-law, we are not the only ones here. The two families, the third mother and the tenth brother are also watching, who is right and who is wrong, justice is in the heart!" Gu Mo threw the sickle in his hand at Gu Qiao's feet, snorted coldly, turned and left.
At this time, Gu Qiao also noticed the contemptuous eyes of the clansmen and the villagers, with a burning face, he pulled Liu Shi up, gritted his teeth and asked, "Why is she in the way of your eyes, Gu Ye? She is the There is something wrong, just scold her a few words. You look at her body, she is shaking when she walks, you go down with the scythe and beat her for good or bad. In front of so many people, you don't even have a chance to defend. .If there is an accident, will the patriarch still tolerate you? Even me will be implicated."
"Do you know how irritating this bitch is, she?" Liu Shi unwillingly looked at the rabbit held by Aunt Ninth, resentful.
"Okay, it's just half a rabbit! Don't be ashamed here!" Gu Qiao interrupted her impatiently. In front of so many people, is it not enough for him to be shamed for those few bites of meat
Liu Shi got up from the ground reluctantly, and whispered in his mouth: "It's easy to say, half a rabbit can save some food, can eat two meals, I really don't know how expensive firewood is."
When the sun was setting, Gu Ye took half a peeled hare and went home for dinner. Mrs Liu uneasy shouted from the back: "You bastard girl, don't do it all at once, pickle the rest with salt, and you can eat it at noon tomorrow!"
Sister Li, who also went home to cook, took Gu Ye's hand and whispered: "If you come to my house at night, I will leave you a bowl of rabbit meat. There is also this piece of rabbit skin, when my father has finished making it, Let my mother make you a vest and wear it in a jacket in winter, it will keep you warm."
"Rabbit skin, I have the cheek to accept it." In my memory, the original owner had almost no clothes to keep out the cold. She was lucky that she didn't freeze to death over the years. Keep it for me. We're going to stew rabbit at night, too."
"Your stingy stepmother, how many pieces of meat can I give you? That's it, remember to come over at night." During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the door of the house, and Sister Li couldn't help but exhort again before entering the house.
Gu Ye washed the rabbit meat and chopped it into small pieces. After flying through the water, he boiled a pot of thick broth. Most of the rabbit meat was taken out and stewed with radishes. The rest of the broth was added with the ginseng taken out from the space, and a pot of "Sasam ginseng Rabbit Broth" was boiled.
Due to the delay in stewing the soup, the rabbit meat was still stewing in the pot when the people who went to work in the fields came back. As soon as Liu entered the door, he went straight to the kitchen. Seeing that the dinner was not ready, he immediately became excited: "It's been almost an hour since I came back, and the meal hasn't been done yet. You lazy bastard, did you sneak off to sleep?"
When he opened the pot and looked at it, Mrs. Liu cried out with an "Ow": "You damn girl, why don't you want to kill you? Didn't I let you keep half of the rabbit meat for tomorrow? Why are you stewing it? Why don't I eat you to death!!!"
"Did you say that? I didn't hear it!" Gu Ye added a piece of firewood to the stove and began to put cakes into the pot.
Seeing that Gu Ye was no longer trembling like before, crying and begging for mercy, the fire in Liu's heart rushed up, swung up his fat palm, and slapped the back of Gu Ye's head.
Gu Ye seemed to have eyes behind him, and the moment his palm fell, he took a slight step to the side. The palm of Liu Shi's all-out effort came to nothing, his body staggered, and he almost fell into the pot of stewing rabbit meat.
Gu Ye was nervous for a moment: After finally eating meat, don't be contaminated by Liu's! She has no interest in stewing human flesh.
"How dare you hide? See if I won't beat you to death." Liu's pair of triangular dead fish eyes searched in the kitchen, bent down and picked up the fire stick.
"It smells so good! Mom, when can I have dinner, I'm starving to death!!" Da Zhuang smelled the smell of meat, got into the kitchen and went straight to the stove, a pair of black claws about to fish rabbits into the rolling pot Meat.
Liu Shi didn't care about beating anyone, grabbed his eldest son's hand, and shouted: "Go away, no more hands? I won't burn you to death!!" Although the words were not pleasant, they contained deep concern.
"Meat, meat! Mother, eat meat!" Xiao Zhuang moved his short legs and rushed over to hug Liu's thigh, shouting non-stop.
"The meat is not cooked yet, wash your hands first, sit at the table and wait. Da Zhuang, take your brother out to play, don't burn it!" For his own flesh and blood, Liu's eyes were full of tenderness.
Soon, the food was ready. Taking advantage of the moment when Liu Shi turned around, Gu Ye filled a small bowl of rabbit meat and quickly put it into the space. Liu Shi picked up the remaining pot of rabbit meat stewed with radish, and her brows were knitted tightly. How could she feel that the amount of rabbit meat was not right? But when the rabbit meat was out of the pot, she was staring at it, forgive the thief girl who didn't dare to eat it under her nose. Is the rabbit too thin
"Head of the family, Gu Ye, this dead girl is too prodigal. She has stewed the rabbit meat. How about we save half of it for tomorrow morning?" This is eating meat, this is digging her heart!
It was rare to be able to let go of eating meat, Gu Qiao waved his hand and said: "What to keep, it's hot today, so it won't go sour overnight? It's been a long day, eat more meat to make up for it!" After speaking, she stretched out The chopsticks picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in the mouth.
When stewing the meat, Gu Ye put spices such as star anise, cinnamon and fragrant leaves, plus seasonings such as monosodium glutamate and cumin. Gu Qiao was full of praise, and specially awarded Gu Ye a piece of rabbit meat.
The amount of rabbit meat was quite large, and despite the thief-proof Liu Shi's staring at him, Gu Ye ate several pieces of rabbit meat. The fragrant rabbit meat and the thick broth made Gu Ye finally have a comfortable meal.
