The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 191, Picked up

Siheyuan here.

In the morning, the big team who followed the three mothers out of the city to pick wild vegetables worked hard all morning, and finally returned with a full load.

As soon as they got back to the courtyard, a group of women were very excited, chattering and buzzing.

The little girl Yushui had a lot of harvest today, her face was flushed with excitement while holding a full vegetable basket, and she ran home in three steps at a time.

Back in the main room of the middle courtyard, Yu Shui put the vegetable basket on the table and shouted excitedly: "Silly brother, silly brother, come and see what I picked up?"

"What did you find that made you so excited?"

Silly Zhu, who was sitting by the stove and steaming the steamed buns, got up curiously and walked over.

"Hee hee. Look." Yu Shui smiled without saying a word.

Silly Zhu gave her a suspicious look, and then casually lifted the flowered cloth covering the vegetable basket.

This move shocked him.

"Hey Rabbit?"

"Aren't you going to pick wild vegetables? Where did you get such big two rabbits?" Silly Zhu hurriedly asked.

"Pick it up."

"Pick it up?"

"Ah."

"What a fool, why can't I pick it up?" Silly Zhu curled his lips, not believing it at all.

Yuyu explained: "I really picked it up, that's it, we will do it this morning"

Then, Yuyu recounted her experience of picking up rabbits.

It turned out that after nine o'clock, the group of them had almost picked wild vegetables and were about to go home. Just as they were about to leave, they didn't expect five or six fat rabbits to come out of the grass.

This made the women present so excited that they quickly threw away their vegetable baskets, rolled up their sleeves and went to catch rabbits.

Originally, Yushui also wanted to try to catch up with the rabbit, but a group of aunts chased the rabbit too fast, and she ran away before she could react.

She had no choice but to find a place to rest in the shade of a tree and wait there until a group of aunts came back and walked together.

But at this moment, there was a tremor in the grass, and with a "swish", a big rabbit jumped out and ran to her side.

Perhaps because she didn't expect that there was someone here, the rabbit hurriedly turned around in fright, but ran into the tree stump next to her in a panic.

Then it was picked up by her.

Silly column: "."

After hearing Yu Yu's explanation, Shazhu suddenly felt a little confused, and no one else was lucky.

When he came back to his senses, Shazhu felt that something was wrong, looked at the two tied rabbits in the basket, and asked: "The first one was just knocked out and you picked it up, what about the other one?"

"It also hit a tree and picked it up." Yushui said seriously.

Silly column: "."

"You put it here to tease me, the first one panicked and hit the tree next to you, and the second one hit your tree again by coincidence.

Why, the two of them made an appointment to die for love, how could they be good companions on the way to Huangquan? "

"Oh~ It really hit a tree. I don't know what happened. It ran into it in a panic. Sister Qin was more than ten meters away from me at the time. She saw it too. If you don't believe me, ask yourself."

Silly Zhu glanced at her suspiciously, feeling that this matter was not very scientific, and asked doubtfully: "Really picked it up?"

"Really! Sister Qin and the others have seen it," Yushui said seriously.

Silly Zhu carefully looked at Yu Shui's expression left and right, and he didn't seem to be cheating, so he didn't bother anymore, so he asked instead: "You guys went out, did anyone catch the rabbit?"

"Yes, the second aunt and the third mother caught one, and the two families divided half of it. As for the others, there were no more. The rabbit ran too fast and didn't catch up."

"Oh? Then you get two by yourself. No one else said they would share a share with you. Whoever sees it will get a share?"

Silly Zhu knows very well what kind of urine the people in the courtyard are, and it would be good to rush to see the benefits. How can you take it home so easily, let alone something you picked up.

These two rabbits are estimated to weigh more than ten kilograms. Can the women in the yard not be greedy?
Yu Yu smiled proudly: "Who doesn't want good things, but they don't dare to take advantage of me."

"Don't dare?" Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, and understood what it meant in an instant.

With Li Weiguo covering her behind the rain, who would dare to take advantage of her for nothing.

It would be fine if everyone chased and intercepted this rabbit together, and it is not too much to ask for a share.

But it happened that this rabbit was picked up by himself when he ran into the rain. No one else contributed, so there was no reason to divide the meat.

What's more, Li Weiguo is now the deputy chief of the security department, a cadre with real power, and most of the people in the courtyard work in the factory, so they have to worry about Li Weiguo's thoughts.

Sha Zhu shrugged, and could only lament the little girl's luck: "Well, these two rabbits plan to do this?"

Yushui thought for a while, and said: "Anthracene brought these two rabbits back today, and it killed me. Fortunately, Sister Qin helped me carry them for a while. Why don't we give half of them to Sister Qin, and the other half will be fine." How about making braised rabbit meat in soy sauce, salting the rest first, and eating it later?”

"Okay, let's do that."

After discussing what to do, Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves, picked up the two tied rabbits, threw them on the stove floor, took the kitchen knife and the enamel basin, and prepared to peel the skin and let blood, and disembowel them.

After all, Shazhu is a professional, and it didn't take long to kill the two rabbits, and got two rabbit skins in good condition.

Not to mention, the peeled fur of this big rabbit of seven or eight catties is not small, and it can be made into two scarves or two hats after being tanned.

Cloth tickets are hard to come by these years, especially in 1960, when the streets only distributed 2.5 square feet of cloth tickets to every resident of the imperial capital every year throughout the year, and it took three months to save up to make a pair of trousers.

If this rabbit fur hat or scarf is ready, it is a rare good thing, and it is difficult to buy it if you have money. If you sell it, you can exchange it for more than half a year's cloth ticket at least.

After tidying up the rabbit skins happily, Shazhu rubbed salt on one of the rabbits and marinated it. When he went back to eat, the other rabbit directly picked up the bone chopping knife and chopped it into two halves with one stroke.

After handing half of it to Yushui for her to send to Jia's house, Sha Zhu began to cook the rest of the rabbit meat.

About half an hour later, a fragrant plate of braised rabbit meat was ready. The whole room was filled with the aroma of meat, making people salivate.

"Rain, it's time to eat."

"Okay, here we come." Hearing that dinner was ready, Yu Shui hurried over.

Running to the dining table, just about to sit down to eat, Yushui suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran to the cupboard to bring a sea bowl.

Seeing this, Silly Zhu asked doubtfully: "Hey, what are you doing with a sea bowl? Aren't there your bowls and chopsticks on the table?"

"I'll save some rabbit meat for Brother Wei, don't let you eat it up later."

As he said this, Yu Yu picked up the rabbit meat on the table and poured half of it directly into the bowl. With two chopsticks, more than two kilograms of rabbit meat was gone. There was only less than half a kilogram of rabbit meat left on the plate. and some vegetable juice.

Silly Zhu suddenly became a little unhappy, and he hadn't started eating yet, so he was given such a blow.

"Hey, you're really my own sister. I haven't even started eating. There's only so little left. I can't even feed the cat enough."

The rain gave him a blank look: "Humph. It's good to have you to eat, but you talk a lot. If you don't feel full, eat more corn buns, so that you are full!"

After all, he shook his head and ignored him, picked up the sea bowl and put it back into the steamer, using the steamer to continue heating.

Silly column: "."

That's it. This sister can't have it anymore, her elbows are all turned out.
