Chapter 172 Mr. Yogurt is diligent and studious
The kitten and a group of cubs sat around Li Mu, staring at him without blinking as he skinned the groundhog.
A sharp knife in Li Mu's hand was like a butterfly flying through flowers. In a short while, the fur of the five groundhogs was completely peeled off.
The groundhog's fur is soft and shiny, both 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 warm clothing such as coats, hats or gloves, and has a high economic value.
There are now factories in many places that artificially breed and process marmot fur.
Li Mu turned on the faucet, rinsed the fur clean, and spread it out to dry aside.
The groundhogs caught by Yogurt and his cubs were plump, with shiny fur and only two small round holes on their necks, so the fur that was peeled off was intact.
According to the export grade of fur, these five marmot skins can be considered as first-class.
"Ni Mu, do you want to eat the skin of the rabbit?" The kitten asked curiously as he watched Li Mu place the peeled fur one by one on the ground.
"Don't eat it. Dry it and put it away."
"why?"
"The fur of a groundhog is very warm. When the weather gets cold, I'll make a little blanket for Master Yogurt."
"Master Yogurt has a blanket. We will use it when we sleep at night."
"That's for sleeping. I'll make another small blanket for when I go out patrolling the forest."
"For patrolling the forest~"
"Yes, when it gets cold or snowy, Master Yogurt and I go out to patrol the forest. It will be very cold when we lie on the ground while eating. It won't be cold if we spread out a small blanket."
"Well!"
The kitten suddenly realized what was going on, and his eyes sparkled, "Nimu, you are so smart!"
"Not as smart as Master Yogurt."
"."
The kitten did not answer immediately as usual. Instead, his eyes flickered a few times and he looked at Li Mu with some suspicion.
She had never thought that the skin of a big rat could be made into a small blanket and used in cold weather. It was Nimu who came up with this idea, so Nimu should be the smarter one.
But how can he say that he is not as smart as me?
"Why doesn't Master Yogurt say what's right?" Li Mu was a little surprised when the kitten didn't say anything.
"That's right." The cat said weakly.
Li Mu grinned and continued to process the groundhog's internal organs.
The kitten watched carefully and wrote down every step that Li Mu took. At the same time, he secretly decided in his heart that he would work harder to learn to read.
Nimu said that when she recognizes more words, she will buy her books to read. The more books she reads, the smarter she will be.
Li Mu naturally didn't know what Xiao Mao was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely strike while the iron is hot and praise her a few more times.
There was a group of carnivores in the yard, and the groundhog's internal organs were easy to handle and didn't need to be buried.
Li Mu directly took a few small iron basins and divided the internal organs equally among the three wolf cubs and the little golden eagle.
The tiger cubs and their brother watched eagerly from the side.
They are young and still mainly drink milk. Only occasionally, Li Mu will chop some minced meat for them, or Tiger Mom will chew it up and let them taste a little.
The little black bear had always followed its mother in eating mostly vegetarian food. After coming to the yard, it ate apples and vegetables from the backyard every day. It was not very interested in meat, so Li Mu did not feed it.
After the five groundhogs were cleaned and rinsed with water, they became clean and white.
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 rat with yogurt.
Ever since that time when he steamed the rat, Li Mu hung the iron pot on the wall under the eaves and no longer used it.
Now is a perfect time to steam groundhogs.
Pour rice into the pot, put the rabbit in, cover the pot, and then light the fire.
Once the fire started, the kittens and cubs took over.
The little golden eagle flew to the firewood room, grabbed a lot of branches and piled them in front of the fire. The tiger cubs and their brother were responsible for passing the firewood, and the kitten was responsible for making the fire.
Except for throwing firewood into the fire, the kitten's eyes never left Li Mu, and his eyes and head followed Li Mu's figure.
I watched Li Mu pour rice into the pot, and watched how much he poured. I also watched Li Mu put a bamboo rack in the pot and placed the groundhogs one by one on the bamboo rack. I watched and took notes on how he placed them, and memorized it all in my mind.
"Is this okay?" The kitten looked up and asked Li Mu when he saw him put the lid on the pot.
"Well, a groundhog is bigger than a mouse, so it needs to be steamed for a little longer."
"How long to steam it for?" "About twenty minutes."
"Twenty minutes?" The kitten secretly noted the time.
"Well, if you cook it for too long, the meat will become mushy and won't taste good, so twenty minutes is enough."
"How do you know it'll take twenty minutes?"
"Look at the time."
Li Mu took out his phone, turned on the screen, and showed it to the kitten. "It's 17:40 now. It will take exactly 18 minutes to wait until 20:."
The kitten tilted its head back and stretched its neck to look.
"I haven't taught Master Yogurt how to tell time yet, but you should remember these numbers, right?"
"I remember." The kitten widened his eyes and stared at the screen without blinking, and continued to look until the screen went black.
Nimu taught her to recognize the numbers 1-10. She has studied for two days and can understand the numbers on the screen, but she can't understand them when they are combined.
Even if she could understand it, she doesn't have a cell phone.
The cat lowered its head and began to think hard.
How can I know when twenty minutes have passed?
"Mr. Yogurt, we're done eating." At this time, the little wolf cub finished eating the internal organs, licked his mouth and ran over to help the kitten make a fire.
The kitten looked at the wolf cub running towards him, his eyes lit up and he thought of a solution.
While Li Mu was going to the faucet, the cat immediately turned its head and put its mouth close to the wolf cub's ear and spoke in a very low voice that only the wolf cub could hear.
".That's it, wait until Nimu opens the lid of the pot, then you stop, okay?" The kitten said, looking at the wolf cub with a serious face.
"understood!"
Although the little wolf cubs were confused and didn't know why Lord Yogurt wanted them to circle around the yard, they listened to Yogurt very much.
After hearing what Yogurt said, one of the little wolf cubs nodded vigorously, immediately ran to the middle of the yard, turned his head to look at the wall, walked along the wall, and slowly walked towards the backyard.
"What are you doing?" Li Mu had just washed his hands and was shaking off the water when he saw a little wolf cub walking along the courtyard wall. He became curious.
The little wolf cub turned his head to look at Li Mu, then remembered that Lord Yogurt said not to tell Li Mu, so he turned his head back without saying a word.
He just walked around the yard silently, his pace was neither fast nor slow, and the distance of each step was almost the same.
Li Mu stood there and watched for a while, until the little wolf cub walked to the backyard and his figure was blocked by the house, then he looked away.
"What is the little wolf doing?" Li Mu walked back to the fire and sat down and asked the kitten.
"Mr. Yogurt doesn't know." The kitten naturally wouldn't tell Li Mu.
"That's it."
The little wolf cub had just eaten some groundhog's innards, and perhaps he was too full, so he was taking a walk to digest the food.
The cubs often stroll around the yard with the kittens.
Li Mu didn't think much about it. He took out his cell phone, checked the time, and chatted with the kitten.
The little wolf cub walked around the yard and came back, then turned his head to look at the small pot.
Seeing that the small pot was still covered with a lid, he lowered his head and continued to walk around slowly.
"Li Mu, I feel like this little wolf cub is stupid." Brother Nan followed the little wolf cub and turned his head to say to Li Mu as he walked.
When she came out after washing clothes, she saw the little wolf cub circling the yard. She greeted it but it didn't say a word.
This abnormal situation immediately aroused Brother Nan's curiosity. Without saying a word, he immediately followed the wolf cub to see what it was doing.
After walking around twice, Brother Nan discovered that the little wolf cub was doing nothing but simply walking around in circles, just like a donkey pulling a millstone.
This made her conclude 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 turn into a stupid wolf." Brother Nan followed the little wolf cub and said as he walked with it.
buzz-
The twenty-minute alarm on my phone rang.
"The time is up, Lord Yogurt, please stop lighting the fire." Li Mu scooped a bowl of water and poured it out the fire.
The kitten instantly ran towards the spinning wolf cub.
