Chapter 227 The Cat is Smart and Studious
Brother Nan was soft-hearted after all and didn't have the heart to beat the drunk mother bear.
After scolding Mother Bear, I went back to the house and went to the Canyon of Kings to vent my anger.
The two little bear cubs ran to the mother bear, poked her with their paws, and then breathed in front of her nose.
Seeing this, Li Mu was about to tell them that their mother was fine, just asleep, when he saw the little bear cubs running away.
While running towards the cub team, he shouted: "My mother was not bitten to death by us, she just fell asleep!"
"That's good!" The tiger cub sister breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, the mother bear lay on the ground motionless, and it was a little worried that they had bitten her too hard in the afternoon and killed her.
After all, she was the mother of the little black bear. They just saw the mother running around and wanted to play with her. They would never bite her to death.
"Then let's go play chasing bottles!" The tiger cub sister was relieved and turned to look at Yogurt, "Master Yogurt, come and play with us!"
The cat walked over and led a group of cubs to run wildly in the yard.
Li Mu listened to the conversation between the kids and shook his head and smiled.
These cubs are so small that they are not even as tall as their mother bear's knees. Yet they are worried that they might accidentally bite their mother to death. I don't know where their confidence comes from.
The two little bear cubs are also heartless, but their mother is not very reliable either.
A family of bears with a loving mother and filial children.
Li Mu glanced at the black bear lying at the gate and sighed helplessly.
He bent down, picked up the mother bear, walked to the west wall of the yard, and stuffed it into the wooden house.
It drank both bottles of Moutai from Brother Nan. If it doesn’t sleep till tomorrow, it probably won’t wake up.
After settling the bear mom, the Monkey King couldn't wait to lead Li Mu to the backyard.
The spiritual field was in a mess.
One third of the vegetables were trampled, an apple tree was knocked down with half of its roots exposed, and two others were pushed crooked.
The monkeys looked at Lingtian with distressed expressions.
"It's okay, it will be fine in two days." Li Mu comforted the group of golden monkeys.
"Can we still live if all the trees have fallen?" asked the Great Sage.
"OK."
"Oh!" The Great Sage nodded, feeling less upset.
It trusts Li Mu very much, even blindly. Since Li Mu said it can survive, then it must be able to survive.
Li Mu touched the Monkey King, took off his coat and handed it to the female monkey beside him.
Then he walked into the spiritual field and buried the apple tree that Mother Bear had knocked down back into the soil.
All the tilted fruit trees were straightened, and the crushed vegetable leaves were picked up and thrown into the wild fruit forest outside the wall to feed the chickens.
When everything was cleaned up, the sky was already filled with stars.
When I walked to the front yard, Brother Nan was sitting on a recliner, controlling several electric mice to play with the cubs.
Li Mu walked over and watched for a while, then got up to prepare dinner.
When Brother Nan was buying broiler chickens for Tiger Mom and the others, he passed by a yard where an elderly couple lived and raised several chickens.
Brother Nan chatted with the old couple for a while and bought an old hen that they had raised for many years from them.
Tonight is the first dinner I’m going to cook since I returned to the yard, so I’m going to make some chicken stewed with mushrooms.
After deciding on the menu, Li Mu went to the firewood room, took out the earthen stove and cleaned it.
Seeing this, the group of cubs dropped their electric mice and ran to surround the stove.
They haven't made a fire for three or four days. As the weather has gradually gotten cooler, making a fire has become more and more attractive to them.
"What are we having for dinner?" Brother Nan also came over.
"Chicken stewed with mushrooms." Li Mu said, secretly observing Brother Nan's expression. This kind of dish is best suited for drinking. "Yeah! Okay." Brother Nan nodded, "I'll go wash some matsutake mushrooms and soak some hazel mushrooms."
Seeing Brother Nan walking back into the house, Li Musong breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Brother Nan would see Cai Sijiu, and if he got angry again and Mother Xiong was not around, he might be the one to get beaten.
After cleaning the stove, Li Mu added water to the pot and started to light the fire. The chicken feathers would be difficult to clean without scalding them with hot water.
"The hazel mushrooms need to be soaked in water for a while." Brother Nan came over with a small vegetable basket filled with washed matsutake mushrooms.
"Ah."
"Then I'll go kill the chicken." Brother Nan put down the vegetable basket and turned to get the old hen.
The old hen is a free-range chicken, and the couple feeds it with millet, corn or leftovers, so it is very fat.
Brother Nan carried the hen to the faucet and picked up a kitchen knife.
When the hen saw the knife, it seemed to realize that its life was about to come to an end, and began to struggle.
"cluck"
"Don't shout, don't shout. It takes a thousand days to raise a chicken, but only a moment to use it. You will feel better soon. By the way, my name is Li Mu. If the King of Hell asks who killed you, don't give the wrong answer."
Brother Nan killed the chicken while comforting it.
Li Mu watched silently.
The cubs also ran over and surrounded Brother Nan to look at him.
I saw her skillfully pluck a few feathers from the hen's neck, picked up a kitchen knife and gently cut it, then took a bowl to catch the chicken blood, and the hen gradually stopped struggling.
Brother Nan lifted the hen upside down to bleed it, and turned to look at Li Mu. "When my family cooks chicken, I usually kill the chicken. Let me tell you, I have never killed a chicken for others to eat. You are the first one. You are blessed."
"Thank you, Brother Nan."
"We're family, why are you being polite?"
After draining the chicken blood, the hot water in the pot was almost boiled. Brother Nan put the hen into the pot and scalded it for a while, then put on gloves and started plucking the feathers.
Afterwards, a small fire was lit to burn off the remaining fine hair on the chicken. The main point was professionalism.
After burning the fur, they opened the wolf's stomach. Brother Nan fed all the internal organs to the wolf cubs and the golden eagle, leaving nothing behind.
After chopping the chicken into pieces, the rest is Li Mu's job.
Two hours later.
The hazel mushrooms have been soaked and the plump hen has turned into a pot of meat, bubbling.
The kitten squatted on a small stool, making a fire with the cubs, but from time to time he stretched his neck to look into the pot, sniffed his nose, and his eyes flickered a few times.
Cats are smart, quick-witted and eager to learn. When they see someone around them making unusual movements or behaving in an unusual way, they will look over and stare, either puzzled or pondering.
If she thinks other people's behavior makes sense and is worth learning, she will secretly take note of it.
For example, just now, when Li Mu was making stupid chicken stewed with mushrooms, she watched closely the whole process and wrote down all the techniques and steps.
At this moment, she was thinking in her mind whether the main ingredient of this method of stewing stupid chicken with mushrooms could be changed.
Li Mu didn't know what the cat was thinking.
I opened the lid and took a look. The hot steam rising from the pot had already brought with it a rich aroma. The soup inside had become thick and even looked a little sticky. There were large pieces of chicken and individual hazel mushrooms in the soup.
"Okay." Li Mu put down the lid.
"Okay." The cat also imitated and jumped off the stool.
Li Mu walked to the stove, picked out the burning wood and put it out.
Brother Nan came over with a bowl and a spoon.
