"Sister, is this ready?"

Seeing Su He stop what he was doing, Su Chi on the side began to ask.

Su He smiled and agreed: "Well, the weather is good today, we can eat it after drying it for two or three days."

When Su Chi heard Su He say that it would be ready to eat in two or three days, he was full of anticipation.

My sister’s cooking skills are so good, the food she makes must be delicious. Even if he has to wait for two or three days, he can’t wait any longer.

After Su He processed all the fruits, he grabbed a handful of ferns that he had picked from the mountain today and planned to make dinner for tonight.

The rabbit meat that Su Danian had prepared yesterday was still hanging in the well. She had promised Su Chi that she would cook rabbit meat for him today.

Su He secretly thought about what dishes to cook tonight, including rabbit meat, bracken, water celery and mushrooms. Although he didn't catch any fish today, rabbit meat would be enough.

I've been here for so long, and tonight's rabbit meat is the first real meat dish I'm going to have, so I have to cook it well.

Su He took out the rabbit meat that had been hanging in the well last night, chopped it into small pieces, and while preparing the ingredients, he asked Su Chi to make a fire.

Pour the rabbit meat into the pot, then add a ladle of cold water to cover the rabbit meat, throw some cut ginger slices into the pot, and pour some of grandpa's treasured wine to remove the fishy smell.

Su He found some ingredients in the kitchen and cut a few peppers into pieces.

At this time, the water in the pot had boiled and bubbles were bubbling up.

Su He quickly grabbed the bamboo colander, skimmed off the foam, scooped out the rabbit meat, rinsed it with clean water, and poured it into a bamboo basket to drain and set aside.

Su He put some oil in a pan, put the ingredients he had just cut into the pan, stir-fried them quickly, and the aroma of the ingredients began to waft out. He then took the rabbit meat that had just been drained and poured it into the pan.

Stir-fry quickly for a few times, pour in some wine, salt and seasonings, and the aroma will become more intense.

Su Chi kept an eye on the fire while staring into the pot.

Watching the rabbit meat in the pot slowly change color, Su He scooped a ladle of water into the pot and covered it with a lid.

"Just keep the fire in the stove like this."

Su He whispered to the younger brother who was making the fire that the rabbit meat would be ready after stewing for half an hour.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su He went out to the yard, fetched some water and started washing the bracken.

Su He put the fern into the basin and rubbed it gently to clean the fluff on the fern.

Then he brought the washed bracken into the kitchen, and the water that Su Chi had just boiled in another pot had just begun to boil.

Su He poured the washed ferns in the basket into the pot and blanched them, then took them out and soaked them in clean water.

I turned around and scooped a spoonful of fermented black beans and chopped some garlic and chili peppers from the jar on the kitchen shelf.

Then pick up the bracken, squeeze out the water, and cut into small pieces.

Seeing that the rabbit meat would take some time to stew, Su He used another pot.

Heat the pan, add oil, pour in minced garlic and chili, stir-fry for a while and then pour in the fermented black beans.

Stir-fry for a few times and pour in the freshly chopped fern.

Su He kept moving his hands, stirring the food constantly to prevent it from getting burnt.

Soon the aroma from the pot wafted out, and Su Chi on the side could hardly believe his eyes.

This is really what my sister picked today. It smells really good. I wonder what it tastes like when I have dinner later.

Su He sprinkles a proper amount of salt into the pot, stir-fry evenly and then it is ready to be served.

Thinking that there was already a meat dish tonight, Su He decided to not eat the leftover pheasant eggs from yesterday and stir-fried some water celery.

I also made a soup with some mushrooms. It seems that these dishes should be enough for dinner tonight, so let’s leave it like this for tonight.

The rabbit meat in the pot was almost cooked, and Su He asked his younger brother to take out all the firewood.

Open the lid and stir-fry for a few times to absorb the sauce. The rabbit is big and fat enough to fill a whole bowl.

"This smells so good, I can eat meat tonight..."

Su He looked at Su Chi with a smile on his face as he clapped his hands happily. He ran out to the yard to find Su Mu and kept talking about how delicious the rabbit meat Su He made was.

"What is Ah Chi talking about? He looks so happy!"

The Su family members who had just returned from working in the fields heard Su Chi's chattering as soon as they opened the gate. Old man Su couldn't help but make a joke.

Su Chi raised his head and saw that the Su family had returned. He had not said enough just now, so he ran forward, pulled the old man Su's hand, raised his head and blinked his big eyes and said:

"Grandpa, Grandpa, we can eat meat tonight."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sniff in the direction of the main room. There was a scent of meat in the air.

"It's the wild rabbit we caught in the mountains yesterday. Sister cooked it so deliciously."

After hearing Su Chi's words, the Su family members in the yard thought of the wild rabbit they brought back yesterday, and began to look forward to tonight's dinner.

They could hardly remember how long it had been since the Su family had eaten meat, and they could no longer remember what meat tasted like.

The faint smell of meat wafting through the yard made everyone more energetic.

Su He smiled at everyone in the Su family and said quickly, "Okay, dinner is ready. Just wash your hands and we can eat."

When Su He said that it was time to eat, Su Chi was the first to run forward and said, "Sister, I'll get the food."

It was called rice, but in fact it was just porridge. There wasn't much rice left at home. Su He planned to go to the town to take a look after the fruit leather drying in the yard in two days.

The silver can be exchanged for some rice and flour, otherwise it will not be enough to just eat wild vegetables. What the Su family lacks most now is not only silver and money, but also rice, flour, grain and oil.

This dinner was probably the most comfortable and satisfying dinner the Su family had ever had.

Su He is an excellent cook. Not only is the rabbit meat fresh, fragrant and tender, but even some wild vegetables made the Su family praise it highly.

"Ah He, this is the bracken you mentioned. It tastes really good."

Su He's aunt Luo picked up a piece of fern with chopsticks and found it fresh and refreshing, better than any wild vegetables she had eaten before.

Mrs. Xie also nodded, "Yes, it goes well with rice. I didn't expect that it looks inconspicuous but tastes so good."

"I feel like I could use another bowl of porridge."

Su Bai held the bowl and smiled naively.

Su He nodded, "Yes, it is the season for bracken now, it is very fresh and tender."

If there is bacon at home, you can cut a piece of bacon and stir-fry it with bracken. The dish would be worth the meat. However, Su He just complained about it in his heart and didn't say it out loud.

We were lucky enough to catch the rabbit meat tonight. We don’t know when we will be able to eat meat next time.

Thinking of the bracken in the mountains, Su He looked at Old Man Su and said,

"Grandpa, now is the season for bracken. I thought we could take advantage of the good weather these two days to go into the mountains and pick more bracken and dry them. Then we will have bracken to eat in the winter."
