Chapter 607: Baton Rabbit

Su You was a little surprised: "You don't even know me?"

He really found it strange, but to the young lady's ears, these words sounded like a hint of teasing.

The young lady's face darkened slightly, but she calmed down in an instant: "Thank you, gentlemen, for letting me know. I'll go back and cook right away."

After Wu Niang left, Zhang Qi looked at the endless wheat field and expressed his satisfaction: "How many traps must be laid..."

Su You threw the stick cover on the ground: "It's okay, someone will come to help later."

Zhang Qi was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Su You said: "That little lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Believe it or not, a group of people came running here in a while?"

"Do not believe."

Not long after, as expected, several men strode over, led by a middle-aged man who shouted from a distance: "Which prodigal dares to come to Longshou Village to run wild? Get out of here, tie him up carefully, and send him to the official!"

Zhang Qi was dumbfounded: "Master, you are so awesome! Wait a minute! Do you want to blow the whistle?! These guys don't seem to be here to help..."

You still have to blow the whistle when you arrive at Longshou Village, so Su You doesn't have to live anymore.

Sure enough, several big men rushed closer, their pace became faster, and their angry expressions turned into smiles in the blink of an eye: "Hey, Master! It's Master! Why are you here?!"

Su You was also surprised: "Old Zhang?! Have you been demobilized to this point?"

Lao Zhang was a major contributor to the He Controlling Army. During the tunnel battle outside Dun'an Village, he and Wang Er took the lead in counterattacking and firing back during the retreat, covering the friendly forces and guarding the entrance of the tunnel, which greatly reduced the losses during the retreat.

After the war, Su You personally gave Lao Zhang a medal, but I really didn't know that he had changed his career and ended up here.

Of course I was happy to see my old comrade: "Old Zhang, why are you here?"

Lao Zhang smiled and said, "Oh my land! There are only about ten people in my hometown who have eight acres of land, and they can't even move their legs. It's nowhere like here, and they encourage diversification. So I exchanged my merits for two hundred acres of land, and spent all these years on it."

I bought a hundred acres with my savings, brought all my family members over, and became neighbors with Xiao Wei."

Speaking of which, a question suddenly came to mind: "Wait a minute, that deceitful disciple that Wu Niang was talking about..."

Su Youqi smiled: "Do you think it will be me?"

Lao Zhang immediately denied: "That's impossible! Young Mistress's martial arts can drive Master Xia's kite to herd sheep. You are not just bragging!"

I...

Su You didn't bother to argue. There were some prejudices from outsiders, but it didn't matter if you got used to them.

Pointing to the ground: "Come on, let's put the condom on. You must know where the rabbit trail is. Old man Feng didn't tell you that I was coming?"

While Lao Zhang ordered several young men under him to take Zhang Qi to bury the rabbit, he said: "I only mentioned the recent past, but I didn't know it was today. The patrol of the canal and embankment cannot be ignored. I just came back this morning and I haven't entered yet."

I just heard Wu Niang say...Hey! This misunderstanding is all happening."

Su You also got on several sets of condoms and chatted with Lao Zhang while walking: "That little lady is quite fierce and smart, but she just doesn't seem to recognize me."

Lao Zhang smiled and said: "Longshou Village has become rich, and many wives and aunts from other villages have come in. Wu Niang is the younger sister of Zhang Laifu's bride at the end of the village. Seeing the talents of the young people in the work team, he called his own sister to have a look. Isn't this right?

It’s enough!”

Su You smiled: "It's good, but there are some men who lead the inside and women who lead the outside. It's not like Meishan, but more like the style in Erlin."

Lao Zhang said: "No, it's not like repairing the mill and waterwheel in the village and teaching the children to read and count. It really wouldn't be possible without Xiao Wei."

After putting on the condom, Su You said to Lao Zhang: "Just in time, take me to the river to have a look."

From the wheat fields to the river, you have to pass through a big road. The road is very busy with large carriages transporting grain and people hauling cement.

This is to go to the construction sites of several forts in Tiandu Mountain.

When the fortress is repaired, the Weizhou armies will move forward to the Tiandu Mountain area and the northern and southern villages of Shimenxia. When the strength of the Yongxing Army increases, Xixia will basically be passive.

Rabbits in early summer are quite noisy. Male rabbits sometimes jump up from the wheat field to show their presence to other male rabbits.

Hormones make them reckless, and then...if they don't seek death, they won't die.

Su You walked around the river and inspected the canals, waterwheels and fish ponds. He was very satisfied with the development of Longshou Village. When he returned to the wheat fields of Weijiang, many wooden poles were bouncing.

The trap designed by Su You was very vicious, and the length of the rope was relatively short, so that the rabbits were trapped and hung in the air, unable to turn around and chew the rope.

Many of them were hanged directly from the pole.

After removing all the harvested rabbits and resetting the traps, the group returned to the village happily.

Passing by the elementary school, Wu Niang stuck her head out and asked, "Uncle Zhang, have you caught him?"

Lao Zhang raised a few rabbits in his hand and said, "I caught them! Look, there are quite a few!"

Wu Niang said: "I mean that person!"

Then Su You came out from behind, with several rabbits on his shoulders: "Wuniang, we went to remove pests from your land. I really didn't expect that you didn't know me, so

Asking, there is no other meaning."

Lao Zhang also laughed: "He is the young master you wanted to meet, Xiao Su, but unexpectedly you didn't recognize him in person! I'm afraid you are the only one in Longshou Village who doesn't know what the young master is like. Where is Xiao Wei? Ask him to go to Lao Feng's place for a drink with us.

.”

Wu Niang immediately blushed: "I... how do I know... Tanhua Lang, such a high official, still... still..."

Lao Zhang was even happier: "Wuniang, you are usually very neat! What else?"

"No official authority at all!"

Su You smiled and said: "Rather than making everyone think I'm scary, I'd rather make everyone think I'm amiable. I'll go to Li Zheng's house with Wei Jiang later to eat rabbit. We'll go back to cook first."

Longshou Village is close to Liupan Mountain and has a very pleasant climate. There are many mountain goods in the village.

Bamboo shoots, mushrooms, fern roots, poria, yams, honey...a lot of good stuff.

In the past, when there was a shortage of salt, using rice soup to pickle sour pickles was a must-have for Longshou Village to survive the famine.

The wild vegetables that are rich in fiber are used. Wash the cress, pick off the leaves, roll it in boiling water and throw it into the sour soup of the rice water fermentation city. You can eat it as you go. It is the main dish of the people in the village.

.

Now that life is getting better, the habit has not been lost, and every household has it.

Su You likes to eat, but he is pretty good. Atunmi and others from the Erlin tribe can only survive on this in Shaanxi.

The sour soup pot is similar to Erlin's.

The recipe of Baton Rabbit is very simple, just make the clear soup first.

Peel out the rabbit meat, remove the rabbit bones, slice the rabbit meat into slices, and boil it in a pot of cold water to remove all the blood, otherwise there will be an unpleasant smell.

After soaking the rabbit bones, use pickled cress and part of the acid water to make the soup, add ingredients such as grass fruit, three naphthalenes, and Sichuan peppercorns. After a stick of incense, pour in a cup of soaked citron water, and the acid soup will be ready.

Made.

Then add the mushrooms and bamboo shoots that have been cooked in water.

On the other side, mix the rabbit meat with soy sauce, minced ginger, salt, cooking wine, icing sugar, and water soybean powder, and cook for another quarter of an hour.

Nowadays, it is impossible for Su You to cook, especially when he is outside, he can only make a few dishes to satisfy his appetite.

Old man Feng had already herded a pig and five sheep, and had been working with his sons and daughters-in-law for a long time.

Su You was still uneasy and found an excuse to go to the big kitchen to take a look.

It's basically reliable. Old man Feng and his sons also bought large iron pots at home, and now they have moved them all out and put them on the existing stove beside the open dam, which is almost the same as the Jiudouwan in Meishan.

There are also several yokan stewed in pottery jars, which is the Qin people's strength.

Su You's visit was a great occasion, and Old Man Feng had no intention of doing anything simple at home. Instead, he directly arranged a flowing banquet for the whole village, young and old.

In the afternoon, villagers came over one after another, some carrying chickens, some carrying fish, and some bringing noodles, vermicelli, salt, eggs, and duck eggs.

Several families of veterans gave them small red envelopes directly, containing ten ten-coin banknotes.

This is good, but if there are too many, it will be a bit alienating from the people.

For example, Su You never brought any gifts when he came to Longshou Village. When he left, he also brought a bunch of dried mushrooms, bamboo shoots, dried yam, fern root powder, kudzu powder, rock honey...

The Baton Rabbit served at the banquet was well received. Tan Hwa Lang’s food is just different. No one can make wild rabbit so tender.
