Chapter 234: When Master Yogurt says the word chicken, he doesn’t need to say
The sun completely set behind the mountain, leaving only a gradient glow of color on the horizon.
Because I was picking jujubes, I returned to the yard a little later than usual today.
As usual, the Great Sage squatted on the courtyard wall waiting for them. When he saw the pickup truck, he opened the gate of the courtyard and led the monkeys to pick them up.
"You can't eat these fruits yet. They're not ripe yet."
Brother Nan carried a large bag of jujubes, but he didn’t share them with the monkeys like he did every time he came back from patrolling the forest. He said, “Wait until they are ripe before eating them.”
"Yeah!" The monkeys nodded and didn't care.
They were not short of fruits, and they could not finish eating all the apples and vegetables in the spiritual fields in the backyard.
Brother Nan started to get busy after he entered the house.
Pour all the jujubes wrapped in the picnic blanket on the ground, take a few plastic bags to pack the jujubes, put a few ripe apples and bananas in a full bag, then seal it and put it aside.
This is a commonly used method of ripening.
When Li Mu was a child, he saw his grandmother use this method to ripen persimmons.
This is also scientifically based. Ripe fruits emit ethylene gas, which is a natural plant hormone that can promote the ripening and color change process of fruits.
A group of little cubs curiously surrounded Brother Nan and kept looking at him, sniffing the jujubes on the ground from time to time.
When Brother Nan saw it, he picked up a piece and handed it to them, letting them eat it.
The cat squatted aside without saying a word. Instead, when the cubs asked her if they could eat, she encouraged them with her eyes.
After the cubs took a few bites and shook their heads at the sour taste of the jujube, the cat withdrew its gaze with satisfaction and licked its little paws.
Brother Nan laughed even louder and was very happy.
Li Mu shook his head helplessly.
This woman has such a bad character that she has corrupted even the yogurt. How can this be tolerated!
Thinking of this, Li Mu stood up suddenly.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Brother Nan squatted on the ground, his hands still moving, continuing to pretend to be a crutches, while his head was raised to look at him.
"you"
Li Mu just opened his mouth when he suddenly glanced at the shoulder bag beside Brother Nan. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm going to do some laundry. Do you have any?"
"Put your laundry in the bathroom and I'll do it later. You can't get it clean."
"Oh."
"Any thing else?"
"Gone."
Li Mu turned around silently and went back to the house.
The moment he stood up, he figured it out. As a normal man, there was no reason for him to compete with a woman with intermittent schizophrenia.
It is definitely not because he saw the piece of baton sticking out of Brother Nan’s bag that he changed his mind!
After changing clothes, I took a shower.
When Li Mu arrived at the yard, Brother Nan had already divided all the jujubes, but for some reason, he left a small pile out.
"Why aren't those ripened prematurely?" Li Mu asked.
"I'll keep that for other uses." Brother Nan turned his head to take a look and continued to control the electric mouse to play with the cubs.
"Oh."
Li Mu stopped asking and turned to look for the kitten. She did not play the mouse-catching game with the other kittens.
I walked around the yard but couldn't find it.
Li Mu walked back into the room and found that the bedroom door was ajar.
Mr. Yogurt is studying in the bedroom.
The kitten pulled over a mat, lay on it, stretched out one of its little paws, and was writing on the sandbox, with its tail shaking gently behind it.
There were several pieces of paper with words written on them in front of the sand table. The cat was looking at the words on the paper and copying them on the sand table.
These words were specially written by Li Mu when he was teaching the kitten to recognize words.
At this time, the top word is cat.
"Cat."
While copying, he recited quietly.
After writing once, stop and look carefully at the words on the paper, then look at the words written on the sand table, repeat this several times, staring at them for a long time each time and comparing them carefully.
After the comparison, the cat used its little paw to hook the smoother on the sand tray, and the sand was smoothed out by the small wooden board. The written words disappeared, and the cat wrote again carefully, trying to make it exactly the same as the words on the paper.
Li Mu walked gently behind the kitten.
The cat's ears twitched, but it ignored him and concentrated on writing.
Li Mu did not say anything, he just felt that this picture was very beautiful and could not bear to break it, so he stood behind her and watched quietly. After writing several times, the kitten changed the next word.
"Tiger."
"Wolf."
"Diao'er."
The kitten wrote seriously, reciting as he wrote, over and over again, as if he was unaware of the passage of time.
Li Mu did the same, staring at the kitten carefully while writing.
"chicken"
Li Mu's heartbeat stopped for a moment.
The kitten seemed to notice that something was wrong with him and turned around to give him a strange look.
"Well, when Master Yogurt says the word chicken, he doesn't need to say 'son'."
"Why meow?"
"No reason."
"strangeness."
"Just remember not to tell anyone."
"Strange, strange."
The kitten stared at Li Mu with suspicion for a while, but couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. He shook his head and continued with his study plan.
However, after studying for a while, she realized that she had used up her scheduled study time for the day.
So he pretended to stand up casually, stretched on the mat, tilted his head back high, glanced at Li Mu behind him from this angle, jumped off the mat, pulled the mat back to its original position, and did not forget to say to him -
"That's all I'll learn today, Master Yogurt."
"Two hours."
"Yes, Master Yogurt only needs to learn for two hours."
"I see. Master Yogurt is indeed very smart."
Li Mu smiled.
The cat looked up at him again, said nothing, picked up her little lantern and ran to the yard to look for her cubs.
It's getting dark, and it's time to play with lanterns.
Cats have their own things to do too.
Li Mu picked up the papers on the floor and walked out of the bedroom.
Brother Nan was washing clothes in the bathroom. He had to prepare dinner for the two mountain kings and the animals in the yard.
"Li Mu, I caught another fish!" The voice of Golden Eagle Xiaoshuai came from mid-air, and then with a bang, he threw a big fish into the yard.
The fish was still alive, jumping and struggling on the ground.
The tiger cub rushed forward and wanted to take a bite, but was hit by the fish's tail and staggered.
This aroused the anger of the crowd, and a group of cubs were about to pounce on the fish and bite it to death, but Li Mu took the lead and picked up the fish.
"Don't worry, I'll chop some fish paste for you later."
"Oh, I want to eat it!" said the tiger cub, who was very angry after being slapped.
"Okay, I'll give you all some to try." Li Mu smiled and looked at the fish in his hand.
This is a black snakehead fish with python-like patterns on its body. It is also called black fish, black fish, and snakehead fish. It weighs about five or six kilograms.
"Where did you catch it?" Li Mu glanced at Xiao Shuai who was grooming his feathers. His feathers were clean and tidy.
"I robbed it." Xiao Shuai said as a matter of course.
"."
Li Mu was not surprised at all. This was not the first time Xiao Shuai had snatched the fish caught by other birds.
I don't know who he learned it from.
Xiao Shuai and the cubs shared most of the mullet.
Li Mu sliced the remaining fish meat into slices of the same thickness and size, then coated it with batter, and chopped the fish bones into small pieces.
After waiting for Yogurt and Xiaozai to light the fire, Li Mu poured lard into the pot, poured the chopped tomatoes into the pot and fried them, then added onions and ginger to remove the fishy smell. After that, he added the fish bones into the pot and simmered them slowly. After a while, he had a pot of rich and delicious sour soup with a golden color.
After seasoning, throw the mullet slices into the pot one by one. The thin fish meat rolls in the pot and becomes snow-white. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and you have a pot of sour and appetizing sour soup with mullet slices.
Brother Nan was very satisfied with the dish. He took off a star hanging on Xiao Shuai, the provider of the main ingredient, and decided not to put him in the sack for the time being.
