Chapter 322 Rabbit
After cleaning the food, several people returned the plates to Yuebin Restaurant, they walked around the county town.
The county town has a lot more fun and delicious food than in the village market. Li Pandi couldn't even see it. Zhou Shuilian and Mushui were also amazed. They lived to their decades and came to the county town at a very few times.
When they come back, they come and go in a hurry, let alone visiting these places that require money. The two of them really feel rare when they see anything.
Finally, I bought some condiments and cotton, and bought some snacks like fried fruits for Li Pandi. Zhou Shuilian thought it was too expensive, so she urged her to go home...
Mu Xiu said that he didn't have to worry about the money and bought it casually, but the few people refused to go shopping anymore. In the end, Mu Xiu had no choice but to agree to go back helplessly.
New Year's Day is over in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaoshu are cutting new clothes for Xiaohua and Li Pandi. Adults have down jackets, but there is no down jacket for children in Muxiu Space, so they can only be made again.
"This sewing machine is really good, it's much easier to sew with needles and threads." Zhou Shuilian sighed while stepping on the sewing machine.
"When I go to the county town next time, I will buy some cotton and make a few pairs of cotton pants for them." Mu Xiaoshu held the needle and thread on the soles of his shoes.
"For the remaining fabric, let's make a hat for everyone." Zhou Shuilian said, looking at the rags that had accumulated a lot of them beside him.
"If this dress is added with a fur collar, it will be even warmer." Mu Xiaoshu touched the new clothes and felt that the collar was still a little airy.
"It's simple. Our family has so many rabbits. The rabbit hair can be made of fur collars, scarves, and hats. I'll go to the rabbit shed to see it." Mu Xiu thought Mu Xiaoshu's proposal was very good. She stood up, put on a big cotton jacket, and walked backwards.
Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, who were taken in by Zhou Shuilian, were both diligent people. After raising them at home for some time, meat grew on their faces. Whether they were walking or working, they looked full of energy.
At the beginning, Mu Xiu thought that rabbits were very smelly and did not keep them in the yard. Instead, he built a rabbit shed behind Chen Xuhui's house. He went to clean every now and then. At the beginning, he was still not experienced. Although the rabbits had strong breeding ability, he didn't know where they were raised in the early stages. Some rabbits died. They were still very busy and they were still raising them. Only then did they figure out how to raise them.
Fortunately, rabbits can give birth to one nest a month, and six to ten nests a nest. After these months of careful breeding, there are more than one hundred rabbits in the rabbit shed.
These rabbits can be made after the snack bar opens and eat rabbit meat. These rabbits are better raised after they are brought to you after they are here.
The old couple not only cleaned the rabbit shed, but also separated rabbits of all sizes.
"Uncle Chen, help me catch three rabbits. Today I want to make rabbit meat." Mu Xiu came to the rabbit shed and saw Uncle Chen cleaning inside, and said.
"Okay, I'll catch the three fattest ones." Mr. Chen said cheerfully, and then a messy sound came from the rabbit shed. After a while, Mr. Chen walked out with three rabbits in his hand.
The three rabbits kept shaking their mouths. I don’t know if it was because of fear or curiosity, their bodies were round and looked quite fat, and their hind legs kept kicking, trying to break free from Mr. Chen’s hand.
"Mu Xiu, I'll kill the rabbit and then send it to you." Mr. Chen said.
"Uncle Chen, you'd better help me get it to the yard and let Brother Chen deal with it. I want to make this rabbit fur."
"Hahaha, Mu Xiu, I can't say anything else. This kind of fur peeling rabbit skin and making all kinds of furs is my skill in eating when I was young." Mr. Chen said proudly.
"Really? Uncle Chen, what did you do when you were young?" Mu Xiu's curiosity was aroused.
"In the past, I was a master in a leather goods store who specialized in handling all kinds of furs. Your aunt was an embroiderer who helped wealthy families to embroider, and she did a good job of embroidery. Later, when she saw that the fur I had handled was good, she came to me to ask for a method." Uncle Chen's face showed a look of memories.
After a while, Mr. Chen continued: "There were all kinds of turmoil and escapes. At that time, he thought about how to find food and how to support his children every day. Fortunately, he was very lucky. He lived to this age in a flash. Time flies."
Mu Xiu knew it in his heart. It seemed that Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen had a relationship at that time. No wonder they seemed to be more polite than ordinary farmers. They both had seen the world outside.
"Then let me see how Mr. Chen's craftsmanship is." Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"No problem, I'll leave it to me. Now I'll take out the rabbit meat first. The rabbit's fur needs to be processed for a few days, and some materials are needed."
"No problem, what do you want? I asked Brother Chen to learn from you. Can you teach him?" Mu Xiu mainly thought that there were more and more rabbits in the future. After killing him, he could not handle fur alone. Although Chen Xuhui could do some, he still lacked skills and was not as good as a professional who could do this like Mr. Chen.
"As long as Xuhui wants to learn, I need alum and white salt to keep the church." Mr. Chen said happily.
"Then let's make up. When I go back later, I will ask Brother Chen to come to you with something."
Uncle Chen quickly carried the rabbit to the water tank, from killing to peeling it, it was done in one go. Soon, the rabbit meat was put into the basin. Each rabbit had about ten kilograms, three rabbits and bones, and a large pot of meat.
"Can you carry it?" Mr. Chen put the rabbit skin in another basin and handed it to Mu Xiu with the rabbit meat.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong!" Mu Xiu took the basin, turned around and walked towards the front yard.
After returning home, Mu Xiu went to the water pressing well, washed the rabbit meat with water, drained it there, wiped his hands, and then went to the door of Chen Xuhui's room and shouted softly: "Brother Chen."
"What's wrong?" Chen Xuhui's voice came to the door with footsteps, and then the door opened. Then Chen Xuhui stepped out of the door with one foot.
"Just I just asked Mr. Chen to kill a few rabbits. Mr. Chen used to be in this industry. You can go and have a look."
"Okay, I'll go there now." Chen Xuhui went into the house and took out his cotton jacket. Now the kang is burning all day long. Sitting in the house, he doesn't have to wear thick cotton jackets anymore.
When Chen Xuhui came out again, Mu Xiu handed him the prepared alum and salt.
"This is what Mr. Chen wants, please take it there."
Chen Xuhui took the thing and went to the back to find Mr. Chen.
Mu Xiu took the drained rabbit meat into the kitchen, took out part of it and cut it into diced rabbit meat. She first stirred it with white pepper, salt and white wine and marinated it next to it.
