Chapter 308: Cooking Tea by the Fire
The weather is cold, it’s time to make sausages and bacon.
Li Mu sent Zhao Jianguo a WeChat message and asked him to help buy a black pork, a good black fragrant pig, castrated, which was delivered with a new batch of supplies.
After returning from patrolling the forest, Li Mu took out the pork and started to pack it away.
My aunt loved to make bacon and sausages during the holidays. Li Mu learned this craft from childhood and became very good at making it.
Just as he was doing it, he suddenly felt that there was always a line of sight staring at him from behind.
Looking back, I don’t know when there was a little follower behind me.
It was not completely dark yet, so I squatted down a little behind him with a cat lantern in my mouth, raising my head and staring at his movements without blinking.
Li Mu rubbed the meat with salt, and she watched Li Mu rub the meat with salt. Li Mu turned around to get the salt, and she immediately followed him with small steps, staring at Li Mu.
If she couldn’t see because of her height, she had to stand on tiptoes, crane her neck to see, or jump on a table or chair, she had to see clearly how much she had taken.
When Li Mu came back after taking it, she hurriedly followed him back, with a serious look, as if she didn't want to miss any action.
Li Mu stopped to look at her.
She also looked at Li Mu with her round amber-like eyes, revealing intelligence and thinking.
"Yogurt-sama, why don't you go and play? Brother Nan is playing a mouse-chasing game with the cubs."
"That's an electric fake mouse!"
The cat was unmoved, and then asked Li Mu: "That's it, the meat can be stored for a long time without bugs growing on it, meow?"
"."
Li Mu was silent for a moment. , no answer.
I have a bad feeling for no reason.
You can’t just ignore her. Cat is very curious and very patient. She will just follow you and ask you questions from time to time. If you don’t answer, she will ask you again after a while. , as if you were going to say it sooner or later.
What could Li Mu do? He had to explain it to her in detail.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Fortunately, it does not continue to snow. I checked the weather forecast and it will be sunny in the next few days.
A lot of bacon was dried in the yard, and a day later, new sausages and sauced meat were added.
A cat and a group of cubs lie down in the yard to bask in the sun and sleep every day. Miraculously, they never steal meat to eat. Instead, when other thieving animals are attracted by the smell of meat, they eat it. It will wake up immediately and drive it away or take it as a snack on the spot.
Sometimes when the cat is not there, it is the cub and a group of golden monkeys who are guarding, and sometimes Li Mu is guarding with them.
In short, there are always guards under the bacon.
Brother Nan made a lot of short videos about this, and her Douyin account gained a lot of fans, and she suddenly changed from a good-looking person to a big person in the cute pet category.
Winter in the mountains is colder than in the city.
Due to restrictions, there was no air conditioning installed in the house in the small courtyard. As it got colder, Li Mu made a fireplace in the house and a small stove in the living room.
The mother bear family has also begun to hibernate, and Li Mu has made a more comprehensive insulation for their cabin.
Other animals would often come into the living room and lie down by the fireplace and stove to keep warm and sleep. Li Mu and Yoghurt also used the stove to make tea and read books. Brother Nan often skewered a few skewers of meat and grilled them on the stove.
Back from another day of forest patrol.
It is already dark.
Li Mu burned the fire on the stove more vigorously. There was a teapot sitting on the stove. There was a gurgling sound in the pot and the heat was rising.
Black tea is boiled inside, with red dates and sugar added.
No honey was used because the honey stored in the courtyard was eaten up by the mother bear family before hibernation.
The queen bee's army of bees has just been established. They don't produce much honey yet, and Li Mu can't get it now. He has to wait a little longer to eat wild flower nectar.
In fact, the taste of tea itself can be enjoyed without adding sugar, but it is not possible without adding sugar.
My cat is not used to the taste of tea, but he will drink it when he sees it. Therefore, every time Li Mu makes tea, he puts a lot of sugar in it. Thanks to his unusual physique, otherwise he will Everyone is worried about getting diabetes over time.
Nan Ge is sitting cross-legged on the sofa playing games, while the cat and cubs are lying by the stove.
Li Mu reached out and lifted up the teapot, placed it on the edge of the stove, filled two cups and a small bowl with tea. The tea soup was bright red and fragrant. The tea that Brother Nan brought was excellent. Even if it was spent a lot of money, it would be difficult to find it. You can buy it.
"Brother Nan, drink tea."
"I know, finish this fight."
"Master Yogurt, drink tea."
" Let it cool for a while before drinking.”
"Do you want to drink?" Li Mu asked the other cubs.
"Don't drink hot water."
"Can I drink a basin of milk?"
"Drink a basin of milk after eating."
Li Mu shook his head and ignored them. He picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly. "This year is almost over." Brother Nan dropped the phone, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
“Yes, New Year’s Day is the day after tomorrow.”
“Do you remember what I told you before about eating rice noodles?”
“Don’t you want to eat Xishuangbanna? ”
“?”
"I'm sorry"
"Huh."
Brother Nan leaned on the back of the sofa, "We have to go back to the provincial capital first. After all, it's New Year's Eve. If we don't go home, New Year's Eve It’s pitiful to think that there are only two parents watching the TV at night.”
“Well.”
“Let’s stay at home for a day and then go play.”
"Okay."
"Let's just go on a self-driving trip this time!"
"Isn't it too late?"
"Why don't we come back two days later? I won’t rush.”
“Then I have to ask for leave”
"It's okay. The infrastructure engineering soldiers have already entered the mountain to build the camp. Why don't you worry about them being here? You can tell the uncle again and let the drone patrol for two more days."
"emm"
Li Mu thought about it carefully and found that his heart was moved.
He had never been like this before. He had never skipped class in school, and he had never taken more than one day off since graduating as a ranger.
I must have been with Brother Nan for a long time and was led astray by her!
"How about my arrangement?"
"Okay."
"Implement it!"
Brother Nan nodded, squinted his eyes and drank tea.
"Ni Mu, what are you telling Brother Lan?" The cat lying on the ground raised its head to look at him.
"Talking about the holiday."
"Are we going back to Uncle Chengshi's house again?"
"Yes."
"Hmm."
"If Mr. Yoghurt doesn't want to go back, you can stay in the courtyard."
"Master Yoghurt, let's go with you!"
"That's right."
"That's right."
After the cat finished speaking, he stood up, stretched, and began to lick the tea.
December 31st.
There was morning light in the mist.
After breakfast, two people and one cat started the last forest patrol of the year.
Brother Nan parked the car, Li Mu got out of the car holding the yogurt and walked into the forest.
When they arrived in the forest, the cat jumped from Li Mu's arms to the ground. As soon as its four little paws touched the ground, they immediately lifted them up and shook them one by one. They looked up at him:
"The ground is good. Cold.”
"Then do you still want me to hug you?"
"Yes~"
"Let's walk by yourself, you won't feel cold anymore after walking."
"You hug me first Mr. Yoghurt, please walk for a while~"
"You."
Li Mu bent down and picked up the kitten.
Thanks to boss Gu Jingtian for the reward and monthly pass! Bow and open your chest
