Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 54 Even the Dogs Hate Me

"Wow? Da Huang, you really caught a rabbit! Good job! I'll kill the rabbit and give it to you as a snack later!"

Li Guoqiang lifted the door curtain and walked out, just in time to see Qu Yinfeng reaching out and taking a little rabbit from the mouth of an old dog that was so skinny that its bones were visible.

The rabbit was less than the size of a palm and was obviously still a baby. If it were really slaughtered, I wouldn’t know who would be fed by it.

"Woo~woo~"

At this time, Dahuang also discovered Li Guoqiang, a stranger. His tail, which was shaking constantly, froze instantly. Then he lowered his front body slightly, stared at Li Guoqiang with his eyes, and opened his mouth slightly to reveal two sharp teeth.

"Crack~"

"Da Huang, this is my big brother, you are not allowed to scare him!"

When Xu Dani saw Da Huang preparing to attack Li Guoqiang, she quickly slapped Da Huang on the head, then put her hands on her hips and glared at Da Huang fiercely.

"Ow~"

After being beaten by his little master, Dahuang couldn't help but let out a cry of grievance, then hurriedly hid behind the door with his tail between his legs.

"Alright, alright, Da Huang doesn't recognize you yet! It will be fine after it matures in a few days!"

Qu Yinfeng saw Dahuang's pitiful look and hurriedly said something for it.

Then she reached out and rubbed Dahuang's head to comfort him, then hurried to the stove, picked up a kitchen knife, and walked out with the little rabbit.

Normally, such a small rabbit would not be slaughtered and eaten, but I don’t know if Dahuang was too aggressive or just too greedy. By now the little rabbit was already cold, so he had to slaughter it and eat it.

"Great! I can eat meat today!"

When Xu Dani saw Qu Yinfeng's actions, she couldn't help but cheered, and then hurriedly followed Qu Yinfeng.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but follow with some curiosity.

He had never slaughtered a rabbit himself in his life!

This is a good opportunity to learn from Qu Yinfeng, so that I won’t be at a loss as to how to eat rabbit in the future.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a well in the northeast corner of the yard.

Li Guoqiang looked at the circle of stones piled up around the wellhead and the windlass standing above the well, and felt a little surprised.

This kind of hand-cranked well that has been passed down from ancient times was rarely seen in his previous life. Even in some rural areas, there were still water wells, but they were all pressurized wells.

In addition, he did not expect that there was such a well in Xu Dani's home, which would undoubtedly greatly facilitate his future life.

Just when he was wondering whether he should use the entire wooden barrel exclusively for bathing in the future, he saw Qu Yinfeng raise her knife and directly chop off the little rabbit's head.

After chopping the rabbit, she threw the rabbit head to Da Huang who was squatting beside her, and said to Xu Dani with regret: "This rabbit is too small, otherwise I could peel off the skin and make a small hat for you."

"It's okay, as long as I can eat it!"

Xu Dani stared at the little rabbit with shining eyes, her face full of anticipation of eating meat.

Upon hearing this, Qu Yinfeng looked at Xu Dani with amusement, and then after the rabbit's blood had been drained, she carried the rabbit into the house and stuffed it directly into the stove.

Following a burnt smell, the rabbit was soon burned black by the fire.

Qu Yinfeng calculated the time accurately, hurriedly picked up the rabbit with pliers, and then took it to the wellhead to prepare to slaughter it.

At this time, Da Huang had already eaten the rabbit head, skin and bones, and then stood aside, staring at the rabbit body that Qu Yinfeng had thrown on the ground. Li Guoqiang saw Qu Yinfeng pick up the wooden bucket and well rope at the well mouth and throw them into the well, so he hurried forward and grabbed the crank handle first.

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng curled up the corner of her mouth slightly with a smile, and then hurriedly shook the well rope in her hand, causing the wooden barrel in the well to tip onto the water.

After a while, the wooden barrel was filled with well water.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly gripped the handle and shook it hard in the clockwise direction.

Soon, the well rope, which was originally a little loose, suddenly became tight, and his hands suddenly felt a strong resistance, which almost made him unable to hold the handle.

Fortunately, his physical condition has improved a lot compared to before, so he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot.

After his face turned red from holding it in, he finally pulled up the full bucket of well water.

Then, he did not so presumptuously release one hand to fetch water, but instead looked at Qu Yinfeng standing beside him.

An amused look flashed across Qu Yinfeng's face, and then she hurriedly reached out to pick up the bucket and placed it beside the well. Then she squatted on the ground, using a kitchen knife to scrape the dust off the rabbit's body while pouring water to rinse it.

After a while, she cleaned the rabbit, revealing its slightly burnt skin.

Then, she took a kitchen knife, cut open the rabbit's stomach, took out all the internal organs and threw them in front of Dahuang. Then she cut off the rabbit's four legs and butt and threw the same to Dahuang.

Seeing Dahuang eating voraciously, she hesitated for a moment, then immediately took a kitchen knife to cut a piece of meat from the rabbit's belly and placed it in front of Dahuang, then put the rabbit in the ladle and washed it carefully.

When Li Guoqiang saw Qu Yinfeng's actions, he instantly looked at Dahuang with a new respect.

He didn't expect that this skinny old dog could actually be a hunting dog!

Because only hunting dogs are qualified to eat the most delicious meat from their prey.

Just as he was wondering whether he could get Jin Dad's reward if he borrowed Dahuang to go hunting in the mountains, Qu Yinfeng had already cleaned the rabbit and walked into the house carrying the rabbit and a kitchen knife.

Seeing this, Xu Dani immediately followed like a follower.

Dahuang finished eating the meat and bones in a few bites, licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue, glanced at Li Guoqiang with some disdain, and then trotted into the house.

It feels like they are looking down on Li Guoqiang for being a freeloader!
When Li Guoqiang saw this situation, he was immediately amused.

It was bad enough that his friends and villagers despised him along the way, but now even an old hunting dog dared to despise him?

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you will think I'm a sick cat, right?

At this moment, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but become ruthless in his heart, vowing to make those people and dogs who despised him regret it.

But before that, he still had to cook to fill his stomach.

Soon, he entered the house and took out more than half a pound of rice from the food allocated to him, preparing to cook a pot of rice to make do.

Then he took out another dime and wanted to exchange it with Qu Yinfeng for some pickles, sauerkraut or something to go with his meal.

However, Qu Yinfeng refused to take any more money from him and told him not to cook and to eat with their family later.

Seeing Qu Yinfeng being so enthusiastic, he took the opportunity to suggest that he would like to have meals with their family in the future.

When Qu Yinfeng heard this request, she neither agreed nor refused, but just said that she would think about it first.

Li Guoqiang didn't know what Qu Yinfeng was worried about, and it was not easy for him to ask, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being and put the rice back.
