Chapter 4 The whole family eats meat
Qian Guilan's cry alarmed the people in the room, and the three Zhou Lin brothers ran out quickly.

"What's the matter, mother? What mouse?" Zhou Qing was the most courageous, as soon as he heard a mouse, he ran out in a hurry.

"Yueyue, be obedient, put it down quickly, don't let it bite you." Qian Guilan ignored her sons and continued to say to Zhou Yue.

Only then did the three brothers notice that Zhou Yue was holding a big mouse in his hand, which looked like it weighed five or six catties! "Ah! What a big mouse!" The three brothers also looked shocked!
"Mother, this isn't a mouse, it's a bamboo rat. It grew up eating bamboo, and it's delicious!" Zhou Yue was a little helpless, because people here had never eaten bamboo rats.

"It's delicious? Yueyue, calm down. It's all about the elder brother's fault. The elder brother will work another day to buy meat for you. Let's not eat this. It will be bad if it is poisonous." The eldest brother Zhou Lin thought that his sister was starving, so he Going to eat mice.

"Yes, little girl, let's not eat this, it's not a trivial matter if you get poisoned!" Zhou Qing also persuaded Zhou Yue.

Before it was Zhou Ming's turn to persuade, he was interrupted by Zhou Yue, "Brother, I want to eat bamboo rats. Bamboo rats are not poisonous and are really delicious. Just wait!"

Zhou Yue decided to show her determination with actions, picked up a bamboo mouse and walked into the kitchen, ignoring the shocked four people outside.

Entering the kitchen, Zhou Yue picked up the kitchen knife, peeled the skin, removed the viscera and cut into pieces in one go, put it in a basin to wash off the blood and set it aside.

Heat the oil in a pan, add scallions and ginger slices, pour in the bamboo rats, start to stir-fry, add soy sauce, and the aroma begins to diffuse in the kitchen.

"It smells so good! The smell of meat!" Zhou Qing took a deep breath, intoxicated by the smell.

"Maybe my little sister is right. If it doesn't smell so good, let's hurry up and wash up and wait for dinner." Zhou Ming went back to the room to continue washing after finishing speaking.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and wash up, and help my little sister." Zhou Qing and Zhou Lin also turned and left.

Only Qian Guilan was left standing there, still unable to react, in the chaos...

Shaking her head, Qian Guilan seemed to have made up her mind, eat as soon as she wants, what is so terrible in such a poor life, besides, seeing Yueyue's firm look, maybe she can really eat it, she I decided to take a bite myself after it was cooked, and then let the children eat it if it was not poisonous.

After figuring it out, Qian Guilan walked into the kitchen and helped Zhou Yue to light the fire.

Seeing that her mother came to help, Zhou Yue added water to the pot, "Mother, you can just keep the fire high, wait for it to boil, I'll wash some fungus, add it to taste better."

Zhou Yue dug out all the mushrooms in the back basket, spread the fungus in the yard first, and prepared to dry them and put them away.I also picked out morels, chicken fir and other mushrooms, washed them and took them back to the kitchen.

When Qian Guilan saw Zhou Yue coming in with a bunch of mushrooms, she was startled, "Yueyue, you can't eat these. Mice may not be poisonous, but these mushrooms must be poisonous. Back then, people in our village ate them to death!"

"Mom, there are many kinds of mushrooms, some are poisonous, some are not poisonous, and the ones I pick are all non-poisonous, don't worry," Zhou Yue hurriedly explained that all the mushrooms she picked were familiar ones.

Qian Guilan was dubious and decided not to speak anymore.

Zhou Yue tore apart the big mushrooms, put them in the pot when the water boiled, stirred them and continued to stew.He took out the noodle bag at home, and there were almost two bowls of rough noodles in it, and Zhou Yue poured them into the basin.

Blanch the wild vegetables in boiling water, chop them, pour them into the noodles, add a spoonful of salt, knead the noodles, lift the lid of the pot, form the dough into pancakes, stick them along the sides of the pot, cover the lid and continue to stew.

A quarter of an hour later, the fragrance filled the air, and the three Zhou Lin brothers rushed out of the room after washing and came to the kitchen door.

"Mother, it smells so good~" The three brothers blocked the kitchen, intoxicated by the fragrance.

"Go and go, why are you stuck here, hurry up and set the dinner table." Qian Guilan started to chase people away.

"Little sister, when can I eat?" Zhou Qing asked impatiently.Zhou Lin and Zhou Ming also echoed.

"Immediately! Open the pot!" Zhou Yue looked forward to seeing the three brothers, but didn't hesitate.

"Okay, okay, open the pot!" The three brothers clapped their hands excitedly.

As soon as the lid of the pot is opened, the aroma is overflowing, and the rich meat aroma penetrates everyone's nose.

Zhou Yue first shoveled the wild vegetable cakes with a shovel and put them on the plate, then put the bamboo rats in the pot directly into the pot, making a big pot.

When the dishes were served, the three brothers stared straight at the meat in the basin. It is estimated that the meat is poisonous at this moment, so they have to taste it too.

"Brother, go and help dad out, the whole family should be tidy when eating meat." Zhou Yue issued a task to Zhou Lin.

"Okay, I'll help dad out!" Zhou Lin immediately ran to Lin Zhou's room, and Zhou Qing also ran to help.

Zhou Jiacheng was helped to sit down at the dining table by his two sons. He was stunned when he saw the large bowl of meat in front of him, "Where did this meat come from?"

"Father, it's the bamboo rat I caught on the mountain. Try it, it's absolutely delicious!" Zhou Yue arranged the bowls and chopsticks for Zhou Jiacheng, and put a piece of meat into Zhou Jiacheng's bowl.

"Wait, mother, eat first, you can eat later!" Qian Guilan picked up a piece of meat and a piece of mushroom, and decided to lead the way.

Seeing her mother's determined face, Zhou Yue was both funny and moved.

"Hey, hey, Guilan, I'll eat first, I'll eat first." Seeing this, Zhou Jiacheng didn't understand anything, so he hurriedly stopped Qian Guilan, and quickly put the meat into his mouth.

In the end, both of them ate.

The aroma of meat and mushroom spreads in the mouth, the mushroom is fresh and tender, and the meat of the bamboo rat is delicate, so delicious that I want to have another piece.

After a while, Zhou Jiacheng felt that there was nothing wrong with his body. "It's not poisonous. Come on, Yueyue, eat quickly!" He picked up a piece of meat and put it into Zhou Yue's bowl.

Knowing the result, Zhou Yue was still moved, this family is really nice.The loneliness in the previous life made Zhou Yue cherish the current care and love even more.

"Father, mother, you can eat too, brothers, eat quickly, try Yueyue's cooking!" Zhouyue put a piece of meat for each family member into the bowl.

"Okay, let's eat!" The three brothers couldn't wait for a long time. It was torture to only smell the food but not eat it.

Everyone moved their chopsticks, "Ah, it's delicious, Yueyue is so good, it turns out that mice can eat it, and it's so delicious!" The second child Zhou Qing said with emotion after eating the meat.

"A mouse? Is this a mouse?" Zhou Jiacheng was shocked and glared at Zhou Qing.

"Father, it's not a mouse, it's a bamboo rat. It grows up eating bamboo. It's very delicious. Just treat it as prey like pheasants and hares." Zhou Yue hurriedly explained.

"Hey, let's just let the mouse be a mouse, as long as it tastes good, it's also meat, I haven't eaten meat for a long time." Zhou Qing was heartless at the moment, whatever he was, as long as it tasted good.

Zhou Jiacheng also breathed a sigh of relief, just treat it as an ordinary prey. In short, it is not an ordinary mouse, a mouse that can make people full is a good mouse!

Now the whole family has no psychological burden, and can enjoy the delicious food wholeheartedly.

"Everyone eat more, there is still a small bamboo rat that hasn't been stewed, save it for dinner!" Zhou Yue saw that his parents were reluctant to eat meat, so they just picked up mushrooms and ate two more pieces of meat in their bowls.

"Okay, Yueyue eats more too!" Everyone picked meat for Zhouyue one after another, and the bowls piled up into hills every once in a while.
