The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 191, picked up

This side of the courtyard.

The large team that followed the three aunts out of the city to pick wild vegetables worked hard all morning and finally returned with a full load.

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, a group of women were very excited, chattering and very lively.

The little girl Yu Yu had a big harvest today. She was so excited that she ran home in three steps and two steps with her face flushed with excitement.

Returning to the main room in the middle courtyard, Yu Yu put the vegetable basket on the table and shouted excitedly: "Silly brother. Silly brother, come and see what I picked up?"

"What did you pick up that makes you so excited?"

Shazhu, who was sitting by the stove making steamed buns, heard this and stood up curiously and walked over.

"Hehe. Look." Yuyu smiled but said nothing.

Silly Zhu glanced at her doubtfully, then casually opened the flower cloth covering the vegetable basket.

This move shocked him.

"Hey Rabbit?"

"Aren't you going to pick wild vegetables? Where did you get such two big rabbits?" Silly Zhu asked quickly.

"Pick it up."

"Picked it up?"

"Ah."

"What a fool, why can't I pick it up?" Silly Zhu curled his lips, not believing it at all.

Yuyu explained: "I really picked it up, that's it, we will do it this morning"

Then, Yuyu recounted her experience of picking up rabbits.

It turns out that around nine o'clock, a group of them had almost picked wild vegetables and were about to go home. Just as they were about to leave, five or six fat rabbits popped out of the grass.

This made the women present so excited that they quickly threw away their vegetable baskets, rolled up their sleeves and went to catch rabbits.

Originally Yu Yu wanted to catch up with the rabbit, but a group of aunts chased the rabbit too fast, and she ran away before she could react.

She had no choice but to find a place to rest in the shade of a tree and wait there until a group of aunts came back and walked together.

But at this moment, there was a tremor in the grass, and with a "swish", a big rabbit jumped out and ran to her side.

Perhaps because he didn't expect there was anyone here, the rabbit was frightened and turned around in a panic. As a result, he didn't choose the right path and crashed into the tree stump next to her.

Then she just picked it up.

Shazhu: "."

After hearing Yu Yu's explanation, Shazhu suddenly felt a little confused, and no one else was lucky.

After coming back to his senses, Silly Zhu felt something was wrong. He looked at the two tied rabbits in the basket and asked, "The first one was knocked unconscious and was picked up by you. What about the other one?"

"I also bumped into a tree and picked it up." Yuyu said seriously.

Shazhu: "."

"You are teasing me here. The first one panicked and hit the tree next to you, and the second one accidentally hit your tree again.

Why, they have made an appointment to die for love. Where can they be good companions on the road to hell? "

"Ouch~ It really hit a tree. I don't know what happened. It panicked and hit it. Sister Qin was ten meters away from me at the time. She also saw it. If you don't believe me, ask yourself."

Silly Zhu glanced at her suspiciously, feeling that this matter was not very scientific, and asked doubtfully: "Really picked it up?"

"Really! Sister Qin and the others saw it," Yuyu said seriously.

Silly Zhu carefully looked at Yu Yu's expression from side to side. Seeing that it didn't look like he was cheating, he stopped worrying and asked instead, "You guys went out, did anyone catch any rabbits?"

"Yes, the second aunt and the third aunt caught one, and each of the two families shared half of it. As for the others, there were no others. The rabbit ran too fast and they couldn't catch up."

"Oh? Then you get two by yourself. No one else said they would share a share with you. Whoever sees it will get a share?"

Silly Zhu knew very well what kind of urine the people in the courtyard had. It would have been nice not to rush in when he saw the benefits. How could you take them home so easily, let alone what he had picked up?

These two rabbits probably weigh more than ten pounds. How can the women in the courtyard not be greedy?

Yu Yu smiled proudly: "Who doesn't want good things, but they don't dare to take advantage of me."

"Don't you dare?" Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he meant.

With Li Weiguo protecting her behind the rain, no one dares to take advantage of her.

It would be better if everyone chased and intercepted this rabbit together. A cent is not too much to ask for.

But it happened that this rabbit was picked up by himself when he ran into the rain. No one else contributed, so there was no reason to divide the meat.

What's more, Li Weiguo is now the deputy chief of the Security Section, a cadre with real power. Most of the people in the courtyard work in factories, so they have to be somewhat concerned about Li Weiguo's ideas.

Silly Zhu shrugged and could only sigh that this little girl had a good life: "Okay, what are these two rabbits planning to do?"

Yuyu thought for a while and said: "Anthracene brought these two rabbits back today and I'm so worried. Fortunately, Sister Qin helped me carry them a part of the way. How about we give Sister Qin half of one and the other half?" How about making braised rabbit meat and salting the remaining one before eating it later?"

"Okay, let's do it."

After discussing how to deal with it, Shazhu rolled up his sleeves, picked up the two tied rabbits, threw them on the stove floor, took the kitchen knife and enamel basin, and prepared to skin, bleed, and disembowel them.

Silly Zhu was a professional after all. It didn't take long for him to kill the two rabbits and get two rabbit skins in good condition.

Not to mention, the skin of this seven or eight pound big rabbit is quite large. Once it is tanned, it can be made into two scarves or two hats.

Cloth tickets are hard to come by these days, especially in the 2.5s, when the s were the most difficult year. All year round, the streets only distributed square feet of cloth tickets per person per month to the residents of the Imperial City. If you wanted to make a pair of trousers, you would have to save up for three months.

If this rabbit skin hat or scarf is ready, it is a rare good thing that is difficult to buy even if you have money. If you sell it, you can exchange it for more than half a year's worth of cloth tickets.

After tidying up the rabbit skins happily, Shazhu rubbed salt on one of the rabbits and marinated it. When he went back to eat, the other rabbit directly picked up the bone chopping knife and chopped it into two halves with one stroke.

After handing half of it to Yuyu and asking her to send it to Jia's house, Shazhu began to cook the remaining rabbit meat.

About half an hour later, a fragrant plate of braised rabbit meat was ready. The whole room was filled with the aroma of meat, making people salivate.

"Yu Yu, dinner is ready."

"Okay, here we come." Hearing that dinner was ready, Yuyu hurried over.

He ran to the dining table and was about to sit down to eat when Yu Yu suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran to the cupboard to get a sea bowl.

Seeing this, Silly Zhu asked doubtfully: "Hey, what are you doing with a sea bowl? Aren't there your bowls and chopsticks on the table?"

"I'll save some rabbit meat for Brother Wei Guo first, so you don't have to eat it all later."

As he said this, Yu Yu picked up the rabbit meat on the table and poured half of it directly into the bowl. With two chopsticks, more than two kilograms of rabbit meat was gone. There was only less than half a kilogram of rabbit meat left on the plate. And some vegetable juice.

Silly Zhu suddenly became a little unhappy. He hadn't even started eating yet, but he came like this.

"Hey, you are really my biological sister. I haven't even started eating yet and there is only so little left. Even if I feed the cat, it won't be able to get enough."

Yu Yu rolled his eyes at him: "Humph. It's good to have food with you. You talk a lot. If you're not full, just eat more cornbread to make sure you're full!"

After that, he shook his head and ignored him. He picked up the sea bowl and put it back into the steamer, and continued to heat it with the steamer.

Shazhu: "."

Come on. This sister can't take it anymore. Her elbows are all bent out.
