Chapter 303 Winter Solstice
"Nimu, why don't you speak?"
"I'm cooking."
"Did you hear what Master Yogurt said about adding rats?"
"Mr. Yogurt is very inventive."
"Inventions?"
"It's a compliment."
"Right! Master Yogurt invented it!"
The cat nodded seriously and put another branch into the stove hole.
As soon as the little claw pressed the button on the ground next to it, the blower sent air into the stove, making the fire burn more vigorously.
When the fire started, she looked up and watched Li Mu busying around.
It was cold outside, but the fire in the stove made the small space in front of the stove particularly warm.
Li Mu was afraid that she and the kid would feel cold while making a fire, so he placed a wind shield behind her, making this area seem warmer.
Lady Yogurt liked this kind of warmth. With Li Mu busying around in front of her, making all kinds of noises and talking to her, and the fireworks rising, it was easy for her to feel at ease.
If only the fire could be kept burning.
The cat couldn't help thinking.
However, Li Mu was very efficient and had the mutton soup ready in no time.
Li Mu wiped his hands and had some free time.
When he lowered his head, he saw the kitten looking up at him. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, but he couldn't tell what she was saying.
"What is Master Yogurt thinking?"
"I want you to cook slower."
"Ok."
"Why don't you ask why you should go slower?"
"Because I was as young as Mr. Yogurt, and I also loved to make fire when I was little."
Li Mu smiled and said, "When I was very young and still in the countryside, I liked adults to make steamed food because that way they could keep the fire burning for a long time."
After hearing what Li Mu said, Maoer felt that nothing could be hidden from him.
"You seem very clever!"
"A little worse than Master Yogurt."
"."
The cat blinked a few times and stared at Li Mu blankly. The two words "right" that he usually blurted out almost subconsciously turned around in his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say them out.
I had no choice but to shake my head and concentrate on making the fire.
Li Mu saw all this and sighed secretly.
Ever since cats learned to read and write, they seem not as easy to fool as before.
After washing the vegetables, Brother Nan also brought over a small stool. He did not let Suoyou and the kids compete for the right to light the fire. Instead, they lit the fire together and chatted with Li Mu at the same time.
The mutton soup in the pot was bubbling and the aroma was everywhere.
It was cooked soon.
Li Mu opened the lid of the pot, added salt, tasted it, and scooped the mutton soup into a casserole bowl.
"smell good!"
Brother Nan took a deep breath, picked up the rag and brought the casserole to the table.
The cubs followed her and ran to sit around the table.
Li Mu washed his hands and walked to the table and sat down. The cat had already jumped onto the table and was standing in front of its own small bowl.
Brother Nan scooped a small bowl of soup for each of the kids and placed it on the ground. He stood up and took two small bowls and gave one to Li Mu. He looked at the casserole and said, "It's cooked well. The soup is very white and doesn't have any smell."
“The sheep in the northwest have good meat quality.”
Li Mu said this as he picked up a ceramic jar on the table, unscrewed it, and picked out some Jerusalem artichokes with chopsticks.
The pickled vegetables that Brother Nan made last time were very delicious, so a few days ago Li Mu asked Brother Nan to pickle a jar of them again.
It is crisp and refreshing, and pairs perfectly with mutton soup.
Turning his head, he saw the cat watching attentively beside him, so he picked up a little, pinched it in his hand, and handed it to her to taste.
The cat opened its mouth, took it in, smacked its lips twice, and swallowed it.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious." The cat answered honestly, then looked up at him, then down at the jar of Jerusalem artichokes, his eyes full of curiosity: "If I put something in this jar, will it taste like this?"
"almost."
"Won't it break?"
"Will not."
"Can I soak the rat?"
".I'm afraid not."
It seems that the cat also wants to work hard to live a good life and eat mice in various ways.
"why not?"
The cat tilted its head, looking puzzled.
"No reason, drink the mutton soup quickly."
"Oh"
"Li Mu, what would you like to drink?" Brother Nan ate a few pieces of mutton and suddenly stood up and said to Li Mu.
"I'll just have mutton soup."
"Today is the winter solstice, and there's meat. It would be a shame if we don't drink some wine." Brother Nan said as he turned and walked into the house. He made a decision for him, "We haven't finished the sweet rice wine that the ecological team gave us last time. Let's drink this."
"Okay, add more honey."
After a while, Brother Nan came out with a glass jar. Through the transparent jar, you could clearly see the rice wine inside, and you could even see the rice grains in the turbid liquid.
Sister Nan poured two small bowls, and seeing the cat staring at her without blinking, she poured another bowl for the kitten as well.
Sweet rice wine tastes refreshingly sweet and has almost no alcohol flavor, so cats can drink it too.
Li Mu told her that this was sweet rice soup, not wine, so it didn't taste like water.
"Eat, eat!" Brother Nan picked up a piece of lamb chop and started to eat it without caring about his image at all.
Seeing this, the cat also lowered its head and started eating the mutton in the small bowl, wolfing it down as if it wanted to compete with Brother Nan.
Li Mu shook his head and ate his own food.
The cubs under the table also started eating.
Brother Nan put his phone on the stand and ate while watching Douyin. From time to time, he forced Li Mu to watch the silly videos she saw.
"Look at this, a young couple." Brother Nan turned the phone holder towards Li Mu.
Li Mu took a look and saw a young couple hugging each other at the entrance of a high-speed railway station, looking reluctant to leave each other.
"Tsk tsk!" Brother Nan grinned, "Look, that girl is crying. I guess these two are in a long-distance relationship. Long-distance relationships are annoying."
"Yes."
"Hey, luckily we're having sex!"
Brother Nan slapped himself and turned the phone back, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's over, there's something wrong with my brain."
Li Mu also concealed his mistake and took a sip of the rice wine.
The cat licked its small bowl of rice wine intently and finished it quickly, much faster than drinking water.
After drinking, she licked her lips and meowed at Brother Nan.
Brother Nan understood immediately and gave her another bowl.
Li Mu couldn't help but remind the kitten: "Master Yogurt, please stop drinking. Drink in moderation."
"This isn't wine! It's sweet rice soup!"
“It has to be moderate.”
“I know, I know.”
The cat agreed and started drinking.
"Come on, let's drink too!"
Brother Nan picked up the small bowl and said, "You don't have any yogurt to drink yet. Come on, let's celebrate the winter solstice!"
"Cheers to the Winter Solstice."
Li Mu clinked his bowl with Brother Nan's, took a big sip, and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He saw that she drank the whole bowl like a Liangshan hero, so he also took a few more sips and finished the whole bowl.
"It's so enjoyable! So enjoyable!" Brother Nan was full of pride.
The cat looked up at the two of them, then lowered its head and began to lick the water, drinking it very quickly.
She liked the sweet rice wine with a strong rice aroma and a cool and sweet taste very much.
