Chapter 117 Roasted Rabbit
Zhao Qiaoniang quickly found a lot of water bags. All of these water bags were made by peeling off animal skins (such as sheepskin and cowhide) completely, and then undergoing preliminary processing such as dehairing and tanning.
This leather water bag is generally round or oval in shape, and the mouth of the bag can be tied tightly with a rope, like a big bag.
In order to facilitate carrying, some water bags are equipped with straps so that they can be hung on the body or carried on the backs of livestock.
There are also those made of ceramics, which have various shapes, such as spherical, oblate, etc.
The ceramic water bag is hard in texture and may have some simple decorative patterns on the outside. It has a relatively small mouth and a matching wooden or ceramic stopper to prevent water from flowing out.
However, ceramics are fragile, so water is usually stored in a relatively stable place such as a car or indoors.
A total of more than twenty water bags were found, which are much better than bamboo tubes.
Zhao Qiaoniang found some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and seasonings. These people really knew how to live. After putting everything into the backpack, she said, "Let's leave now!"
Master Bai took out a bucket of soybean oil from the side and poured it all over the bed and quilt. Then he said, "You guys go first. I'll be there in a moment."
The tied man roared, "Aren't you a scholar? Why are you treating us like this? Wuuwuwu..."
Master Bai said calmly:
"What's wrong with scholars? Should scholars turn a blind eye to your evil deeds?
You guys all have people above you, and we can't afford to offend you.
If we let you go today, we will be the ones to die. We have families to support, unlike you."
Even beggars in Baihua City are extraordinary. The beggars here make a fortune every day.
The man's face turned pale as he said, "Please let me go. My sister is the mother of Baihualou. If you kill me, she will definitely avenge me."
Master Bai laughed heartily and said, "Then you're even more dead. The mother of Baihualou is not someone we can afford to offend."
He lit the tinder directly and walked out. Soon the place was filled with flames.
Master Bai said, "Let's leave quickly. This person has some background, and we're worried someone might track him down."
Fortunately, there were only alleys here, and Naitang led them to the small path. Anyway, they didn't see anyone along the way.
After walking for half an hour, we saw a crooked tree with several particularly large backpacks on it, and the milk candies were "squeaking" for a long time.
Zhao Qiaoniang asked, "Is this for us?"
"Squeak..."
Zhao Qiaoniang didn't understand what it meant, but since she brought them here, she naturally had to accept these things.
Soon they each carried two backpacks and walked back. They came with empty baskets, and left with heavy baskets.
In fact, Zhao Qiaoniang and the others were also feeling panicked. Such a big thing happened today, and someone was killed. They were all feeling panicked to some extent.
The four of them walked back carefully along the way they came. It was already dawn.
This Baihua City is a den of money and a city that never sleeps. It becomes more lively as the night goes on.
They sneaked back to the camp. The carpenter and Huangmao were on guard duty. When they saw them coming, they quickly took the backpack.
Master Bai said, "Let's leave here quickly..."
All the people woke up, and Master Bai took them to a remote place. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and told them what had happened.
Madam Bai patted her chest and said, "Why are the people in Baihua City so evil?"
"Who knows? I'm afraid there will be chaos in Baihua City tonight." Master Bai sighed.
Madam Bai looked at the supplies they brought back and said, "This has nothing to do with us. They were the ones who started it. Let's stay here for two days until the storm has died down before leaving."
She took out the pheasant and said, "Big Head Lin is quite generous. We haven't eaten the rabbit and pheasant yet! Let's roast this rabbit, shall we?"
Normally, when they were following behind the main group, they didn't dare to cook these delicious foods because they smelled so good and it would be a disaster if they were discovered.
But if they really want to sell these wild game, there is nowhere to sell them. Besides, they have enough supplies now, so what's wrong with eating wild game occasionally?
Master Bai and the carpenter worked for a long time before finally finishing the rabbit. Master Bai said, "It just took too much water. I used two water bags."
The young carpenter nodded and said, "No wonder they all want to sell all the game. If they don't sell it, it will be a waste of water."
"Isn't it?" Mr. Bai handed the hare to Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai took out some dried basil and mint, soaked them in water, and began to scrub the rabbit. As she scrubbed, she said, "These two things can remove the fishy smell. Our conditions are limited right now, so this is the only way."
Zhao Qiaoniang took out a lot of seasonings from her backpack and said, "This is what I got from there. Do you think these are useful?"
There were many seasonings that they couldn't understand. Mrs. Bai took a look and said with surprise, "Peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, cumin... Wow, these people really know how to buy..."
Although these are Chinese medicinal herbs, they are really delicious when added to dishes, especially when cooking meat dishes.
Lin Wanwan thought that ancient times were a food desert, but now she discovers that these ancient people probably ate more than they did.
Mrs. Bai began to roast the hare. She built a simple grill with branches, placed the processed hare on the grill, and slowly turned it over to roast it.
As the flames licked it, the hare gradually turned golden and crispy, emitting an enticing aroma.
The oil kept dripping, making a sizzling sound, and the rich aroma filled the air, making people salivate.
After the rabbit is roasted, the skin is golden and crispy, and the meat inside is tender and juicy...
Lin Wanwan couldn't hold back her saliva again, and it started dripping down. She really couldn't control it at all.
Madam Bai looked at her with a smile and said:
"Little guy, you can't eat this, but next time grandma will make you chicken soup.
At that time, no salt or other things will be added, so you can eat more.
A child as young as you should drink some goat's milk, but unfortunately we don't have the conditions to do so now."
Lin Wanwan looked at the hare and kicked her legs. Naitang looked at her and squeaked a few times, then looked at Mrs. Bai and pointed at Lin Wanwan.
Mrs. Bai was amused: "You're still begging for mercy? It's not that I'm stingy and don't give her food, it's just that she can't eat it..."
Naitang looked at Lin Wanwan and shook his head. Lin Wanwan also sighed: "It's true that I can't eat it. I can't digest it. Wait until I'm a little older, then we can go to the mountains and catch whatever we want to eat."
Naitang nodded immediately. Lin Wanwan looked at the many purses, and her eyes were full of light. Life with Naitang was so happy. She gave her all the good things. Why was Naitang so cute?
