When Wei Jingshu arrived home, Wei Yu and Wei Shuang were excitedly surrounding the rabbit. Wei Jingshu walked over and rubbed Wei Yu's little head, curiously asking: "How do we deal with this?"
Wei Yu thought about it and realized that she really didn't have the talent in this area, so she simply told the truth and didn't try to show off: "Second sister, I don't know how to do it."
At this time, Wei Shiqi came in with a slaughtered rabbit. He smiled at Wei Jingshu, but reluctantly: "Sister Shu, I've prepared one for you. My mother said that Sister Li can cook rabbit meat."
"I'll do it." Wei Yu grabbed Wei Shuang and stood up, and volunteered to take the rabbit to find Li Rou.
Wei Jingshu looked at Wei Shiqi's expression in confusion: "Brother Shiqi, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Shiqi avoided Wei Jingshu's sight: "I'll come to see you tomorrow morning. Remember, we'll go to the county together."
Wei Shiqi turned his head quickly, his face full of shame. How could he dare to tell Wei Jingshu that he had been scolded by his own mother for two incense sticks because he returned home with cuts all over his face.
Fearing that Wei Jingshu would ask more questions, he ran away like flying, and soon disappeared.
Wei Jingshu curled her lips, put her hands on her hips, hummed twice, and then regained her interest and quickly went into the house.
In just a moment, Li Rou had already washed the rabbit with water. Seeing Wei Jingshu coming in, she grabbed her and rolled up her sleeves for her.
"Wash your hands and cut the rabbit into pieces." After giving instructions, she went to prepare other ingredients. Wei Yu and Wei Shuang also squatted beside to help.
Wei Jingshu washed her hands obediently, picked up the knife, and asked casually: "How do you want to cut it?"
She asked casually, and Li Rou also answered casually: "Just watch it."
Watch it -
Wei Jingshu pondered for only a moment and started to work.
The inedible parts of the rabbit had been removed by Li Rou. She only needed to simply cut the rabbit into small pieces, which was not difficult for her.
Wei Jingshu was strong, and she only needed brute force to chop the meat. She didn't need to find angles or methods at all. She cut the rabbit in no time.
She looked at the palm-sized rabbit meat, and a sense of pride rose in her chest.
Such knife skills and speed, anyone who sees it will praise it!
"Ashu, are you cutting this to eat or to look at?" Li Rou, who had seen Wei Jingshu's work, smiled bitterly and pointed to the small pot at home and asked, "Such a big piece, when do you plan to eat?" Wei Jingshu felt
very aggrieved and defended herself weakly: "It was you who said that, sister-in-law, I will look at it myself."
When Li Rou looked over, her voice, which was not loud to begin with, became even louder, and she even stiffened her body, and immediately changed her words: "I will cut it into smaller pieces right away."
Fearing that Wei Jingshu would make another mistake, Li Rou watched her chop off a piece, and after confirming that there was no problem, she continued to prepare.
"Sister-in-law, we are eating meat again." Wei Shuang smiled foolishly and sighed, "After my sister got better, we often eat meat."
Li Rou glanced at Wei Jingshu and smiled, "I know my sister is a lucky star, so I have to treat her well."
"I am very good to my sister." Wei Shuang muttered, and promised, "I will give my sister first when I have delicious food in the future." Wei
Jingshu, who had quickly chopped the rabbit meat, nodded and secretly praised, "Xiao Shuang is still likable." After the
rabbit meat was processed, Li Rou asked Wei Jingshu to deal with the rest. She covered the cut rabbit meat with water to soak out the blood, put it in the prepared seasoning to marinate, and then fried it in a pan until golden brown, and then put the rest of the ingredients one by one. It was already tempting enough before it was out of the pan.
Wei Jingshu tried hard to swallow her saliva, and couldn't help it. She moved to Li Rou's side with small steps, tugged at her sleeve, and when she looked at her, she blinked her big watery eyes and asked pitifully, "Sister-in-law, can I try a piece first?"
Li Rou's heart softened, but she still refused: "No, you can only eat it
after it's on the table." Wei Jingshu had no choice but to wait for the rabbit meat to be served, and she ate the rabbit meat she had been craving for with satisfaction.
When she eats, she pays attention to speed, fast but not rude, and has a unique beauty. When
she eats, she doesn't like to talk. If someone talks to her, she will only raise her head from time to time to show that she is listening. If she wants to say something, she will wait until she is full before speaking.
She mentioned to Li Rou that she was going to the county town tomorrow, and Li Rou put down the bowl and stood up: "I'll go and pack up those rabbits. You can take them to the county to sell them together tomorrow. Let's save more money, and Xiaoyu can go to school after the new year."
She had only eaten one, but she wasn't full, so how could she sell it?
She winked at Wei Yu and Wei Shuang, and the two understood each other. Although they didn't know what they understood, they still put down their bowls tacitly, and each of them hugged one of Li Rou's hands, and looked at Wei Jingshu at the same time.
"Sister-in-law, keep the rabbit and we will eat it ourselves. I have found a way to pay Xiaoyu's tuition. I will give you the money when I come back tomorrow."
Li Rou was skeptical: "Ashu, don't cheat sister-in-law just to eat a few bites of meat."
"No." Wei Jingshu patted her chest, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
Li Rou was still hesitant, but seeing Wei Jingshu's confidence, she didn't want to hurt her feelings, so she could only smile twice and reluctantly agreed.
The next morning, Wei Jingshu went to the county with Wei Shiqi. Because they left early and it was not the day to go to the county market, there were no cars going to the county at the entrance of the village, so the two could only walk on foot.
The two walked for an hour and a half, and Wei Shiqi's legs were weak. Seeing the high plaque of the county town, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it was not the day to go to the market, the number of people in the county was still not reduced. Wei Jingshu stood at the entrance, waiting for Wei Shiqi to lead the way. Wei Shiqi rested for a while, and his breathing became smoother, and then he led Wei Jingshu away.
He went to school in the county and was familiar with the county. After a while, he took Wei Jingshu to the best pharmacy in the county, Wuchuntang. Wuchuntang
is a century-old pharmacy with a good reputation. Doctor Liu often gets and sells medicine here. Many of the traveling doctors in the surrounding villages are also disciples of Wuchuntang.
Wei Shiqi took Wei Jingshu directly to one of the doctors. He just revealed a little bit of Lingzhi, and the man immediately paid attention to the two of them. He invited the two of them to the inner room and treated them with good tea and snacks.
Not long after, the person in charge came. The man was about fifty years old, but still full of energy.
Although he had heard that the two were not very old, he was still stunned when he saw the appearance of these half-grown children: "Are you two young friends selling Lingzhi?"
Wei Shiqi kicked Wei Jingshu under the table, wanting to remind her not to speak, but Wei Jingshu misunderstood him and immediately looked at the visitor, saying calmly: "That's right."
She took the Lingzhi from Wei Shiqi, peeled off the outer packaging layer by layer, and went straight to the point without a word of nonsense: "Three together, name a price!"
Three?
The person in charge widened his eyes and looked at the Lingzhi in front of Wei Jingshu. He stumbled and almost wished the two a happy new year.
The two were dressed in plain clothes, and they didn't look like they could sell Lingzhi at all.
The person in charge couldn't help but be suspicious. Could it be that the Lingzhi was fake?
