Pig Killer

"Maybe it's because he's used to seeing your second brother slaughtering pigs." Huang Bochang thought about it and said with a smile, "His heart has become hardened."

"Maybe!" Huang Shuchang thought seriously and said, "I have followed my second brother since I was a child. I am not afraid of slaughtering pigs and sheep. I am very excited."

"There are delicious food." Huang Bochang looked at him with a smile on his face.

"That's right!" Huang Shuchang said with a chuckle, then he put away the smile on his face and said, "Brother, is it okay to raise rabbits?"

"It's feasible, of course." Huang Bochang said with a smile, "We can raise them." Then he added, "It's cold now, so even if we kill the rabbit, it won't go bad. When the weather gets hot, we can catch it alive and raise it first. We can kill it when we want to eat it! Otherwise, it will be a waste."

"We still have to find a way to make the rabbit cage sturdy so that they can't be bitten." Huang Shuchang nodded in agreement.

"These vines and willow branches are not very effective! Unless it is an iron cage, it cannot be bitten." Huang Bochang said with his black eyes rolling.

"We can't afford this iron cage." Huang Shuchang shook his head like a rattle when he heard it.

"What should we do?" Huang Bochang looked at him with a frown and said, "I thought these rabbits were difficult to catch, but I didn't expect to catch so many in such a short time. If we raise them, they will become a very large group next year!" He looked at him with green eyes.

"We can't stop them! The rabbits have big teeth." Huang Shuchang said helplessly, "How can we set up this cage so that they won't bite!"

"What kind of grass doesn't this rabbit eat?" Huang Bochang said to him, blinking his eyes.

"Brother, do you want to tell me what rabbits like to eat? I can name a lot. As for whether they don't like to eat something, I've never paid attention to it." Huang Shuchang was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head.

"Let's go home and ask mom and dad. They are very knowledgeable." Huang Bochang said simply, and then added excitedly, "Let's go! Go home quickly. Who knows, the rabbit may have been stewed." Waving at him, the two brothers quickened their pace.

"Why isn't this rabbit as delicious as the fish balls I had yesterday?" Da Chong swallowed the rabbit meat and said, "I feel like I can't chew it."

Wild rabbits run fast, have well-developed limbs and firm muscles.

Even after stewing, the meat is still hard to chew.

"It's okay!" Shen Hui'e swallowed the rabbit meat in her mouth with great effort before saying, "Chew it more." What else could she say?

Domestic livestock are more delicious, with tender meat that melts in your mouth.

"It smells a bit fishy." The raccoon said, pinching his nose. "Why isn't it as delicious as I imagined?" He glanced at the rabbit meat hanging in the yard. "There's still so much? What should I do?"

"Let's grill it this afternoon and add more pepper powder to get rid of the fishy smell." Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at them with her deep black eyes. "It just so happens that the rabbit meat is frozen, so it's easy to slice it into thin slices."

"But how do we roast it?" The raccoon looked at her with a frown on his face.

Da Chong's eyes fell on the earthen stove. The flame was big enough. He gestured with his hands for a long time but still had no idea how to roast it.

Shen Hui'e tightened her jaw and thought carefully: Grilling requires bamboo sticks, but if there are no bamboo sticks, an iron plate will do, teppanyaki.

Iron plates are not realistic. We are in the north and there is no bamboo here. The wooden sticks need to be polished until smooth, which also takes time. Otherwise, the wooden thorns will prick you. Shen Hui'e shuddered at the thought...

Shen Hui'e was really stumped, and her index finger tapped the wooden table intermittently.

What should I use? Shen Hui'e's eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "I got it."

"What's the matter?" the brother and sister looked at her anxiously.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll go to the river." Shen Hui'e picked up the coarse pottery bowl and looked at them and said.

To be honest, she didn't like the stewed rabbit either, but what could she do? If she didn't eat it, she would be hungry, and wasting food was shameful, so she had to eat the stewed rabbit.

Shen Hui'e swallowed the rabbit whole, drank two mouthfuls of soup, and stood up and said, "Put on the backpack and let's go!"

"Where are you going?" Da Chong quickly poured the soup in the bowl into his mouth and put on his straw sandals.

"Go to the river and look for pebbles." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep, bright black eyes.

"Pebbles?" asked the raccoon, looking at her with a puzzled look on his face.

"Come on, go on! You'll know how to use it when you find it." Shen Hui'e said to them with her clear jade eyes.

The mother and her two daughters ran to the river and said, "Mom, Mom, look, there are people catching fish on the ice. It seems like they are imitating us!" said the big insect, pointing at the ice.

"Don't fall into the ice hole." Shen Hui'e looked over worriedly, and then smiled after taking a closer look. People also tied a hemp rope around their waists and crawled along to prevent themselves from falling.

Shen Hui'e smiled and said, "Don't disturb them, let's find pebbles."

Shen Hui'e and her friends found a large, thin pebble from among the large and small pebbles and put it in the backpack.

"How do I use this?" The raccoon looked at her with curious eyes like black grapes.

"Wash it and put it on our earthen stove." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Put the marinated rabbit meat on the hot pebbles."

"Will this taste good?" asked Da Chong worriedly.

"You'll know if you try it." Shen Hui'e said cheerfully, "It doesn't cost anything."

"Then let's go." The raccoon patted his stomach and looked at them and said, "I'm already hungry."

I got up early in the morning and have been busy until now, so I'm already hungry.

"Let's go! Let's go home." Shen Hui'e said to them with her dark eyes shining brightly.

The mother and her two daughters ran back home happily. Da Chong and his sister washed the pebbles and placed them on the earthen stove.

Shen Hui'e took the slightly frozen rabbit and used the large knife in her hand to slice it into thin slices, then spread salt on it and sprinkled pepper powder on it.

Shen Hui'e stirred it with chopsticks, then put it on the hot pebbles. There was a sizzling sound, which was really pleasant, and then the aroma of meat filled the air.

"Turn it over quickly to avoid getting it stuck on the pebbles." Shen Hui'e said as she picked up the curled slice of meat with chopsticks.

"Oh oh oh!" The brother and sister followed suit and said while picking up the meat slices that were messed up.

"The meat slices are a bit thin." Li Nu simply took the chopsticks and kept stirring them, for fear that they would stick to the pebbles and he would not be able to pick them up.

"Got it. Cut it thicker next time." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "The meat has changed color. It should be ready to eat. Try it." She put the meat into her mouth and her eyes lit up. "Hmm..." After swallowing it, "It tastes really good."

The big insect chewed and chewed, then swallowed it and said, "It is no longer hard to chew."

"It's cut so thin, of course it's easy to chew." The raccoon slave looked at her mother with sparkling eyes and said, "Mother, just eat it like this."
