Gu Nian thought for a mont and said, "Why not tie it outside first, and we’ll see how to arrange things once mom and dad co back!"
Erhu was a bit worried; he always felt like his chances of getting scolded were increasing again.
But, since they had already bought it, they could only arrange things like this for now.
Erhu had just tied the sheep at the front gate when he was urged by Gu Nian to go wash his hands as soon as he entered.
After washing his hands, he was rushed to chop the at filling.
There was no other way; Sanhu was only eight years old, and what he could do was limited. Little Hu and Gu Nian were even younger, so wasn’t everything left to Erhu to handle alone!
As soon as the at filling was chopped, Gu Nian had already scooped out the flour from the flour jar, "Second brother, hurry and co over to mix the dough, I’ll mix the at filling."
With his arms already sore, Erhu groaned, "Coming."
Gu Nian divided the chopped at filling into two portions, first chopped the soaked shiitake mushrooms and mixed them with so scallions into one portion of at filling, added seasonings, and asked Sanhu to stir it hard.
Then, Gu Nian mixed the chopped water celery into the other portion of at, and only stopped mixing once the at filling was sticky.
The dough in Erhu’s hands was also mixed, and Gu Nian directed him to clean the deer bones, put them in the large pot, add clean water, and let Little Hu burn the fire and stew the soup.
Taking advantage of when no one was paying attention, Gu Nian ran out and pulled out a ginseng from the space, sliced it into two pieces, peeled off the skin before she dared to quietly add it to the pot.
Deer bone stewed with ginseng is a highly nutritious dish.
Lin Sanshui knew about ginseng but had never used it, and cooked he even less understood.
Adding so ginger slices, it’s likely no one would specifically notice this.
Gu Nian also had Erhu cut the deer at into many small pieces and made a stir-fried deer at dish.
With this, there was only a small portion of fresh deer at left, stored carefully, it should last until tomorrow without spoiling.
Sanhu and Little Hu were each working on a stove, while Gu Nian took out a small rolling pin to roll out the dough skin, and Erhu was wrapping dumplings alone.
By the ti Lin Sanshui and Mrs. Jiang returned, the courtyard was already filled with the aroma of at.
By chance, soone passing by the entrance asked, "San brother, your family’s life is pretty good, just bought a cow and sheep, and now the sll of at is almost filling the whole village!"
Lin Sanshui still didn’t understand what was happening at ho, and awkwardly smiled, "Oh, haven’t the children caught quite a lot of fish recently, Niannian is quite skilled at cooking, always thinking of new ways to make things, it’s just ordinary fish, but she sohow makes it so delicious it’s hard not to swallow your tongue."
Anyway, many people in the village had caught quite a lot of fish, so what he said didn’t stand out.
As for the sheep, Lin Sanshui looked up at the two sheep tied outside the gate, along with the little lamb nestled by the ewe, still not understanding what was happening.
Erhu poked his head out from the kitchen, "Dad, Mom, you’re back, we can eat soon, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Mrs. Jiang washed up and walked into the kitchen, "What have you been fussing with at ho, slls so good?"
After Gu Nian’s explanation, not only were Lin Sanshui and Mrs. Jiang not happy, but instead felt a bit anxious.
They were honest and straightforward people, always feeling like this was taking too much advantage of others, not very good.
Gu Nian also felt it wasn’t quite right, but it was only temporary.
After dinner, Lin Sanshui had Erhu take Sanhu to send the two sheep to Lin Shui’s house for temporary lodging, there really wasn’t any space at ho, and it wasn’t safe to leave them tied outside.
