Mu Yangling only roasted fresh rabbit meat. At this moment, the weather was cold, and there was thick snow on the ground. Mu Shi and Mu Yangling were no longer going into the mountains to hunt, but the traps they had set up previously still remained. Every two to three days, the father and daughter would go into the mountains together to see if prey had been caught in these traps. If so, they could eat a fresh meal. If not, they would eat smoked meat and dried meat.
Most of the prey that fell into the trap were rabbits. Up until now, Mu Yangling had only encountered one roe deer. Pity though, Mu Shi had sent it to the town’s eatery instead of eating it themselves. That was why Mu Yangling used rabbit meat to make meat skewers.
Over the past few days, Mu Yangling had invented many ways to eat rabbit meat. Her culinary skills were not particularly good, but she had many ideas. For example, she would mince the rabbit meat and knead it into meatballs before cooking it in a soup…
In the past, Shu Wanniang doted on them and prepared for them all kinds of delicious food. Even though Shu Wanniang wasn’t in a state to cook right now, there was Madam Ma-Liu.
Mu Yangling was in charge of dicing and mashing the rabbit meat, for she was strong and had great endurance. She didn’t even mind doing it for the entire morning. Then, Madam Ma-Liu marinated the rabbit meat and gently kneaded it into meatballs, before adding them into the soup.
This was exactly what they ate last night. Even Shu Wanniang, who never fancied rabbit meat, had a small bowl.
Not to mention the two carnivores, Mu Yangling and Mu Shi.
The children also enjoyed the dish very much. This morning, Mu Yangling followed Mu Shi into the mountains and brought back two wild rabbits from the trap. One was kept for Madam Ma-Liu to stir-fry at night. Mu Shi had wanted to throw the remaining one outside to freeze with snow, but in the end, he asked Mu Yangling to skin it, wash it, and make roasted meat with it.
It couldn’t be helped. Although the winter day was short, there was nothing to do. Little Bowen couldn’t always read books, so Mu Yangling set up a grill to roast meat.
Speaking of barbecued skewers, Mu Yangling’s favorite was still roe deer meat or deer meat. Unfortunately, it was cold and snowy now, so they couldn’t go too deeply into the mountains, nor could they track the prey.
Mu Yangling was feeling sorry for her cousin and brother. “Roast deer meat tastes so good in winter. When the weather clears up and it’s a little warmer, Father and I will go into the mountains to hunt a deer. When the time comes, we’ll roast deer meat for you to eat. Put the deer meat on the tray and you just have to rub a little sesame oil on it. Then, sprinkle some salt and chili. Ah, if only there’s cumin. Just add a little and roast it until it’s 70% cooked.” Mu Yangling revealed a satisfied expression. “Once you eat it, I can guarantee that you won’t forget the taste.”
Little Bowen and Xiulan’s saliva dripped down. Little Bowen took a deep breath and asked eagerly, “Can I eat roasted venison too?”
