Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 97 Rabbit Stew

Xu Qing sat on the kang to reminisce with his classmates whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The three little ones stood around the table, looking at the frozen hare.

The little girl was timid and only dared to watch quietly from the sidelines.

Xu Fengming stretched out his finger and poked at the hare.

But because he was frozen and stiff, Xu Fengming felt like he was stuck on an iron plate, with a suspicious look on his face.

Then he gave it another hard jab.

Xu Aiguo was not as naughty as the third brother, he looked at the hare, then turned and walked to his elder brother Xu Qing.

Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang chatted for a while.

Ma Jiefang took the initiative to say: "Brother Qingzi, let's stay at your house with the rabbit, stew it and eat it!"

After Ma Jiefang finished speaking, he added:

"Brother Qingzi, my fifth sister, my mother, and my father asked me to bring you some white flour today. My father said that if you have any difficulties at home, just let me know."

Li Guohua and Er Niu looked at each other and said:

"Brother Qingzi, we also got some mixed noodles from home."

After Li Guohua finished speaking, he reached out and poked the honest-looking Er Niu, and asked him to go out and take out all the dough pockets hanging on the bicycle.

Er Niu immediately got off the kang and walked out of the house.

Within three or two minutes, Erniu walked into the house from outside carrying three noodle bags.

Then I asked Xu Qing about the location of the kitchen. In fact, Er Niu saw it, but felt that it was inappropriate to go in directly.

Therefore, this is the question.

At this time, the sensible Xu Aiguo took the initiative to take the dough bag, thanked Erniu, Ma Jiefang, and Li Guohua, and carried it into the kitchen.

Xu Fengming was very generous today. He took out the fruit candies that his eldest brother bought for him, his second brother, and the little girl yesterday from his cotton-padded jacket pocket, and gave two to each of Ma Jiefang and the other three.

The little girl also knew that her eldest brother and classmates were giving her food, so she turned to look at Ma Jiefang and the others, with a sweet smile on her little face.

Every time Ma Jiefang sees the little girl, he likes her very much.

First of all, the little girl is cute and good-looking, plus she is well-behaved and smart, so she is a rare sight for everyone who sees her!
Secondly, Ma Jiefang is the youngest in their family, with five older sisters and no younger siblings.

Ma Jiefang has always been protected by his five sisters. He also wants to have a taste of being an older brother. He hopes that one day, his parents will give him a younger brother or younger sister.

It's a pity that Ma Jiefang has not been able to fulfill his wish since he was a child. He also failed to protect his brother or sister like other children of the same age, and said arrogantly to the troublemaker: "If you dare to bully my sister, I will beat you!" Damn it!"

At this moment, Ma Jiefang put his arms around the little girl, reached out and took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket, and stuffed them into the little girl's hands.

The little girl said sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Jiefang."

Ma Jiefang suddenly had a look of enjoyment on his face. He felt that he had a great sense of accomplishment and felt very happy.

Li Guohua and Er Niu didn't bring anything else with them. After all, Ma Jiefang's family had good conditions and they couldn't compare.

If you bring something, you won't be stingy.

So the two stood up, walked to the table, grabbed the hare and dealt with it.

In fact, Xu Qing never thought of asking them to give him something. Right now, there is enough food at home, even if three old classmates, good buddies, came home empty-handed today.

Xu Qing will also entertain them well.

Seeing this, Xu Qing walked into the kitchen, took out a large white enamel basin, asked Li Guohua to put it in, then took the kettle on the stove and poured hot water into it to soften the rabbit meat.

Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to peel the skin later.

After Ma Jiefang teased the little girl for a while, he also joined in.

Xu Qing peeled the skin with a knife, and Li Guohua stretched out his hand to pull it. Er Niu was afraid that the little girl would be scared, so he took her and Xu Fengming to the alley to set off a firecracker.

As for the second brother Xu Aiguo, he did not go out to play with Er Niu. At this time, he was squatting in front of the kitchen stove and making a fire with Ma Jiefang.

Several people in the room were busy, and soon the hare was cleaned up.

Li Guohua changed the water in the enamel basin three times. After Xu Qing washed the rabbit meat, he brought it into the kitchen.

Ma Jiefang had rich experience in making fires, and the flames on the stove jumped directly to the dark bottom of the pot.

Xu Aiguo was pushed out of the kitchen by Li Guohua, and asked to find Er Niu and the others to play.

There are three of them in the kitchen, Xu Qing, which is more than enough.

Ma Jiefang lit the fire, Ma Guohua took a spoon, stood in front of the iron pot, scooped out the boiled foam, and poured it away.

Xu Qing chopped onions, ginger, and garlic and prepared various condiments.

When there was no more foam in the pot, Xu Qing saw a layer of oily flowers, so he threw the sliced ​​onion, ginger, garlic, four dried chili peppers and a pinch of Chinese prickly ash into the pot, and then Sprinkle a handful of seasonings for the steamed rolls given by the old lady before.

This condiment is a secret recipe specially formulated by Shazhu, and the taste will naturally be even better if it is added to it.

More than half an hour later, the rich aroma of rabbit meat came out along the gap in the pot lid.

Xu Qing opened the lid of the pot, turned it over with a spoon, then placed the basket in the pot, heated a dozen rolls, and continued to stew for another 15 minutes.

When the pot was about to come out, Xu Qing asked Li Guohua to go to the alley and called Er Niu and his younger siblings back.

Ma Jiefang bent over and picked up the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard.

When the three little ones came back, they saw a large enamel basin full of rabbit meat on the table in the front room.

Xu Fengming's eyes suddenly lit up, and the alluring fragrance made him salivate.

Xu Qing asked three old classmates and younger siblings to order food.

He was on the bed by himself, took out the pork, and fried another dish of shredded pork.

A large pot of rabbit meat and a plate of fried shredded pork. Today's meal is rich, which makes the three little ones very happy.

Because the stewing time and heat are very good, the rabbit meat tastes very tender and not burnt at all.

The little girl and Xu Aiguo each ate two bowls, not to mention Xu Fengming. After three bowls in a row, they drank another bowl of broth alone. They stood in front of the edge of the kang so full that they didn't dare to bend down.

Xu Qing, Ma Jiefang, Li Guohua, and Er Niu also ate a lot.

Everyone enjoyed this meal.

However, there was some rabbit meat and broth left in the enamel basin.

In the past few years, everyone has been having a hard time, and they are all afraid of poverty.

When eating, I subconsciously eat more steamed buns and less meat.

If you can save some meat for the next meal, you will never eat more.

Otherwise, just a piece of wild rabbit meat, plus a plate of fried shredded pork, Xu Qing can make rounds by himself without eating flower rolls.

After eating and drinking, Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang lay on the kang and chatted for a long time.

Having not seen each other for more than half a year, Xu Qing and them naturally have a lot to say and things to say.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Jiefang, Li Guohua and Erniu left.

Xu Qing took the three little ones all the way to the entrance of the alley.

Because the next time we meet again, it may be another six months.
