Chapter 181 The Birth of a Cat Gourmet
Li Mu walked out of the building and stood under the eaves to stretch his body.
The clouds in the sky were turned pink by the rising sun. The morning light was just breaking, and the air was still cool like the night, very fresh. Taking a deep breath, I felt refreshed immediately.
But there is still a faint smell of rat meat.
The yard was very quiet.
The golden monkeys woke up earlier than Li Mu. Usually when he walked out of the house, the Monkey King and the monkeys were already walking and eating breakfast in the yard.
But today there was not a single one, and they were still sleeping in the backyard.
Li Mu turned his head to look at the wooden house under the west wall of the courtyard. The cubs were curled up in their mother's arms, sleeping soundly.
How strange, what did they do last night?
Li Mu shook his head and continued to exercise.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a small pot hanging under the eaves.
The small pot is a special pot for making steamed rat with yogurt. After using it last time, Li Mu rinsed it clean and hung it under the eaves.
The small pot at this time looks a little different from usual.
Li Mu walked to the small pot, took it off and took a look.
The last time I steamed dried rat was a few days ago. Although it is hung under the eaves to protect it from rain and sun, a little dust will fall to the bottom of the pot after hanging for a long time.
But at this time, the small pot had been hanging for several days, and there was no dust at all in it, as if it had just been brushed.
There was something stuck on the bottom of the pot. Li Mu tried to pick it off with his fingers, but couldn't get it off.
It looks like the rice was burnt because the heat was not controlled properly.
Li Mu leaned in closer and smelled it, and there was a faint scent of rat meat.
It was the same smell he smelled in his dream last night.
Li Mu was a little puzzled. Did he sleepwalk and steam the mouse with yogurt last night?
But that's not right, he would never burn the rice in the pot when steaming mice.
As he thought about it, Li Mu's expression gradually became strange.
It was the first time that the kitten didn't get up with him, and the animals in the yard all slept in.
Could it be that what happened last night was not a dream, but they were steaming rats in the yard?
Thinking of this, Li Mu walked to a corner of the yard.
He usually cooks mouse jerky there for the kittens.
Sure enough, there were signs of fire on the ground.
Li Mu turned his head and looked at the base of the courtyard wall. There was a pile of stones there, which he used to make a bonfire when making dried rat meat.
At this time, the stones were still piled in the corner, but their appearance had changed.
He usually threw the stones at the foot of the wall after use, but now the stones were arranged there according to size.
Just like the order in which a kitten catches a lot of mice.
“This little cat.”
Li Mu recalled the last time he made dried rat, the kitten stared at him seriously, he couldn't help but smile, filled the small pot with water, and went back to the house to make breakfast.
"Aha~"
Brother Nan walked out of the bedroom and stretched his body, revealing his snow-white skin and abs under his small suspenders.
"Li Mutou, what are you doing up at night?"
Li Mu heard the voice and turned around to see Brother Nan leaning against the kitchen door frame.
"What to do?"
"I'm asking you." Brother Nan scratched his messy hair, "I smelled the aroma of meat and a burnt smell in the middle of last night. What kind of meat did you cook?"
"."
"Oh, it's okay. I don't dislike you." Brother Nan saw that Li Mu didn't say anything and waved his hand, as if to comfort him, "It's just that the pot was burnt. It's normal to take a nap when you're cooking meat in the middle of the night."
"."
"Why are not you talking?"
"I did not do that."
"What?"
"I didn't cook meat last night."
"Then why do I smell it?"
"Because the meat is being cooked in the yard."
"???"
Brother Nan looked at Li Mu blankly, "Are you saying a tongue twister?"
Li Mu told Brother Nan about the smell of meat he had smelled last night, the small pot he had just seen, and his guess.
"Our yogurt can go to school now!"
After listening to this, Brother Nan looked at Li Mu seriously and asked, "Do you think it's better for her to go to Tsinghua University or New Oriental University?"
"Go wash up quickly, breakfast is ready." Li Mu pushed Brother Nan out.
A plate of pickles, a plate of tomato and eggs, two bowls of wontons, plus boiled eggs and milk.
It's not a rich nor a simple breakfast.
Li Mu also put a few wontons in the special small bowl for yogurt.
The monkeys of the Great Sage woke up and began to stroll in the yard. Tiger Mom and Wolf Mom also went out to patrol their territory and hunt. After all, they were wild animals, and Li Mu rarely prepared food for them after their injuries healed.
You can give them more when the weather gets colder and hunting becomes more difficult.

The door of Li Mu's bedroom opened and a kitten staggered out.
After the cat walked out the door, it sat down, rubbed its eyes with its little paws, and then looked up and around.
After seeing Li Mu and Brother Nan, Dada walked over.
"Mr. Yogurt is awake?" Li Mu looked at the kitten that jumped onto the table.
"Well"
The kitten jumped onto the table and saw his own bowl, then discovered the wontons inside. He slowly walked to the bowl and said, "Mr. Yogurt, just eat these. Don't give any more to Mr. Yogurt."
"why?"
"Master Yogurt has already eaten."
"Have you eaten? When did you eat?"
"While you were sleeping."
The kitten closed its mouth immediately.
I was still a little confused after just waking up, and almost gave myself away.
Brother Nan held the bowl in one hand and used chopsticks in the other to dig wontons into his mouth. He watched the man and the cat talking in front of him without blinking, with a very focused expression.
"Did Master Yogurt have a dream last night?"
"What dream?" The kitten was eating wontons in the bowl. Upon hearing this, he turned his head to look at Li Mu, with a hint of fatigue in his big amber eyes.
"I dreamed of steaming rats for Lord Yogurt to make jerky."
"!"
The cat's expression suddenly froze.
"Did Master Yogurt dream?"
"No." The kitten turned his head and continued to eat the wontons in the bowl in small bites.
"That's it."
Li Mu nodded. "Just now I saw that the small pot used to make dried rat for Master Yogurt was sticky with burnt rice. Master Yogurt, do you know what happened?"
The kitten froze while eating.
Li Mu seemed not to notice and continued, "Actually, if the rice is stuck to the pot and can't be washed off, just soak it in water."
"Really?" The kitten couldn't help but turned his head and asked.
She asked the Monkey King to wash it for her last night but it didn't come off for a long time.
"Really." Li Mu pretended to be surprised and looked at Yogurt, "Master Yogurt seems to be very concerned about this?"
"No, I was just asking." The kitten buried its face in the bowl again.
"I also found something strange. The stones used to surround the fire at the foot of the wall were arranged according to size, just like what Lord Yogurt did when he caught a lot of mice."
"!"
The kitten turned its head and looked at Li Mu blankly.
Li Mu pretended not to notice and continued, "I noticed that there is less rice in the kitchen. Could it be that there are mice in the house?"
The cat stared at Li Mu blankly.
When she was directing the little black bear to move the stones, she didn't think too much about it. She just subconsciously moved them the same way she moved the mice.
It was she who took the Monkey King into the kitchen to get the rice, and it was she who taught the Monkey King how to light the fire with a lighter.
A monkey's hands are much more useful than a kitten's paws.
She asked mother bear to take down the small pot. After mother bear stood up, she became very tall.
They caught the mice in the woods and hid them in the grass where the clouded leopard had brought Gou'er Jinzang back. The cubs went out and brought them back in the middle of the night.
The time to steam the mouse was calculated by the wolf cub by walking in circles.
The kitten has learned to count from 1 to 10. Last time when she steamed the mouse, she let the wolf cub circle around the yard. Every time it circled 10 times, she counted a 10. By the time the mouse was done, the wolf cub had already circled 10 times several times.
This time she timed it the same way as last time.
Let the little wolf walk around the yard in circles, and only after counting as many 10s as last time can the Monkey King scoop water to put out the fire.
But she forgot that last time she steamed a groundhog, and this time it was a mouse, and the wolf cub couldn't circle at the same speed as last time.
Therefore, this time it was steamed for too long and the rice in the pot was burnt.
Several mice were burnt and could not be eaten.
She carried the burnt mouse out of the yard and threw it away, feeling heartbroken.
"Pfft haha"
Brother Nan looked at Yogurt, who looked like a stupefied cat, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
A smile also appeared on Li Mu's lips.
