Chapter 172 Mr. Yogurt is diligent and eager to “learn”
The kitten and a group of cubs sat around Li Mu, staring unblinkingly at him skinning the groundhog.
A sharp knife was like a butterfly piercing flowers in Li Mu's hand. After a while, the fur of the five prairie dogs was completely peeled off.
The fur of a prairie dog is soft and shiny, waterproof and warm.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is very popular among people who like fur. It is often used to make coats, hats, gloves and other warm clothing, and has high economic value.
Nowadays, there are factories in many places that artificially breed and process prairie dog fur.
Li Mu turned on the faucet, rinsed the fur, and spread it aside to dry.
The marmot caught by Yogurt and the cubs was fat and had shiny fur. It only had two thin, round holes on its neck, so the fur it peeled off was also complete.
According to the export grade of the fur, these five woodchuck skins can all be considered first-class.
"Ni Mu, do you want to eat the skin of the rabbit dog?" Kitten asked curiously as she watched Li Mu lay the skin off on the ground one by one.
"If you don't want to eat it, let it dry and put it away."
"Why?"
"The groundhog's fur is very warm. When the weather gets cold, you can make a small blanket for Mr. Yoghurt."
"Master Yoghurt has a blanket. Let's use the blanket when we sleep at night."
"That's for sleeping. I'll make a small blanket for when I go out to patrol the forest."
"Use it when patrolling the forest~"
"Yes, when the weather gets cold or snows, Mr. Yoghurt and I will go out to patrol the forest. It will be very cold if we lie on the ground while eating, but it will not be cold if we put on a small blanket."
"Ugh!"
The kitten suddenly understood and his eyes became bright, "Nimu, you are so smart!"
"Not as smart as Mr. Yoghurt."
"."
Mao Mao didn't answer immediately like usual. His eyes flickered a few times and looked at Li Mu suspiciously.
She never thought that the skin of a big mouse could be made into a small blanket, which could be used in cold weather. It was Ni Mu who came up with it. Ni Mu should be smarter.
But how can he say he is not smarter than me?
"Master Yoghurt, why didn't you say the right thing?" Li Mu was a little surprised to see that the kitten remained silent.
"That's right." Mao'er said weakly.
Li Mu grinned and continued to process the groundhog's internal organs.
Mao Mao watched carefully and wrote down every step of Li Mu's operation. At the same time, he secretly decided that he should work harder to learn to read.
Ni Mu said that when she can recognize more words, he will buy her books to read. The more books she reads, the smarter she will be.
Li Mu naturally didn't know what Mao Mao was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely strike while the iron is hot and praise her a few more times.
There are a group of carnivores in the yard, and the prairie dog's internal organs are easy to dispose of, so there is no need to bury them.
Li Mu directly took several small iron basins and divided the internal organs equally among the three wolf cubs and the little golden eagle.
The tiger cub siblings looked on eagerly.
They are young and still mainly drink milk. Only occasionally, Li Mu will chop some minced meat for them, or the tiger mother will chew it and let them taste it.
The little black bears followed their mother on a vegetarian diet. After arriving in the courtyard, they ate apples and vegetables from the backyard every day. They were not very interested in meat, so Li Mu did not feed them.
The five prairie dogs were cleaned and washed with water until they became white and clean.
Li Mu set up a fire rack in the yard, took out a small iron pot and placed it on the fire.
The iron pot is the same one I used last time to make dried yogurt.
After steaming the mice that time, Li Mu hung the iron pot on the wall under the eaves and stopped using it.
Now is the time to steam the groundhog.
Pour the rice into the pot, put the rabbit dog in, cover the pot, and light the fire.
Once the fire started, it was taken over by kittens and cubs.
The little golden eagle flew to the firewood room, grabbed a lot of branches and piled them in front of the fire. The tiger cub and brother were responsible for delivering the firewood, and the kitten was responsible for lighting the fire.
Except for throwing the firewood into the fire, the kitten's eyes never left Li Mu, and its eyes and head moved with Li Mu's figure.
Watching Li Mu pouring rice into the pot, how much he poured, and then watching Li Mu place the bamboo racks in the pot, and place the groundhogs on the bamboo racks one by one. How to place them, he watched and took notes. Keep it all in mind.
"Is this okay?" Mao Mao looked up and asked Li Mu when he saw Li Mu put the lid on the pot.
"Well, groundhogs are bigger than mice, so they need to be steamed for a while."
"How long will it take to steam?" "Twenty minutes."
"Twenty minutes?" Mao Mao secretly noted the time.
"Well, if you cook it for too long, the meat will become rotten and taste bad, so twenty minutes is enough."
"How do you know twenty minutes?"
"Look at the time."
Li Mu took out his phone and turned on the screen, showing the screen to Mao Mao, "It's 17:40 now, wait until 18:00, it will be exactly 20 minutes."
The kitten raised its head and stretched its neck to look.
"I haven't taught Mr. Yoghurt how to tell time yet, but you should still remember these numbers, right?"
"I remember." The kitten's eyes widened and he stared at the screen without blinking. He continued to look at it until the screen went black.
Nimu taught her to recognize the numbers from 1 to 10. She had been learning for two days and she could understand the numbers on the screen, but she couldn't understand them when combined.
Even if she could understand it, she didn't have a mobile phone.
Cat lowered his head and thought hard.
How do you know when twenty minutes is up?
"Master Yoghurt, we've finished eating." At this time, the little wolf cub had finished eating its internal organs, licking its mouth and ran over to help the kitten light the fire.
The kitten looked at the little wolf cub running towards him, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a way.
While Li Mu went to the faucet, the cat immediately turned its head and spoke with its mouth close to the wolf cub's ear. The voice was very low, so low that only the wolf cub could hear it.
"That's it, you guys will stop when Ni Mu opens the lid of the pot, you know?" After Mao Mao finished speaking, he looked at the little wolf cub and said with a serious face.
"knew!"
Although the little wolf cubs were confused and didn't know why Master Yoghurt wanted them to circle around the yard, they listened to Yogurt's words very much.
After hearing what Yogurt said, one of the wolf cubs nodded vigorously and immediately ran to the middle of the yard. He turned to look at the wall, walked along the top of the wall, and slowly walked towards the backyard.
"What are you doing?" Li Mugang had just washed his hands and was shaking the water drops when he saw a little wolf cub walking along the courtyard wall, and he was a little curious.
The little wolf cub turned his head to look at Li Mu. He remembered that Lord Yoghurt said he couldn't tell Li Mu, so he turned his head back without saying a word.
He just walked silently around the yard, neither fast nor slow, and the distance between each step was about the same.
Li Mu stood and stared for a while. He didn't look back until the little wolf cub walked to the backyard and was blocked by the house.
"What is the little wolf cub doing?" Li Mu walked back to the fire and sat down, asking the kitten.
"Master Yoghurt doesn't know." Naturally, Mao Mao would not tell Li Mu.
"That's it."
The wolf cub just ate the internal organs of a prairie dog. Perhaps it was full and was taking a walk to eat.
The cubs often go for walks in the yard with the kittens.
Li Mu didn't think much, took out his phone, looked at the time, and chatted with the kitten.
The little wolf cub walked around the yard and came back, turning to look at the little pot.
Seeing that the small pot was still covered with a lid, he lowered his head and continued to circle around slowly.
"Li Mu, I feel like this little wolf cub is stupid." Brother Nan followed the little wolf cub and turned to Li Mu as he walked.
When she came out after washing clothes, she saw the wolf cub circling the yard, and it didn't say a word when she said hello.
This abnormal situation aroused Brother Nan's curiosity. Without saying a word, he immediately followed the wolf cub to see what it was doing.
After walking around for two times, Brother Nan found that the little wolf cub was doing nothing but simply walking in circles, just like a donkey pulling a mill.
This allowed her to judge that the little wolf cub had turned into a fool.
Li Mu nodded. He felt that Brother Nan was right.
"Don't worry, we will raise you even if you become a wolf." Brother Nan followed the little wolf cub and said as he walked with it.
Buzz——
The alarm clock set for twenty minutes on the phone rang.
"The time is up, Master Yogurt, please stop lighting the fire." Li Mu scooped up a bowl of water and doused the fire.
The kitten immediately ran towards the circling little wolf cub.
