There is only so much food in winter, and fresh meat makes cats linger the most. Even after Xu Ning's stomach is full, she is still a little unsatisfied.
There were a lot of preparations for the Chinese New Year, and a large group of cats and dogs were so industrious that they often ran off to play, so that until the day of the Chinese New Year, a large group of guys were still in a hurry, spinning in circles under the command of Xu Ning.
Finally, everything that needed to be prepared was ready before three o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Ning asked everyone to hang the messy red curtain strips on the cave wall and put them on the surrounding firewood piles for the entire cave to see. It was quite lively up there.
The water in various containers was placed next to the fire to prevent it from freezing. Xu Ning accidentally noticed that many cats were squinting and enjoying the heat next to those containers.
Xu Ning:......
Xu Ning was silent for a moment, then moved his butt and lay down next to a Tietong filled with water.
The water had been heated by the fire for so long, and the cat could feel the heat just enough when he lay next to it, without making his face uncomfortable.
Xu Ning squinted his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, and got up before other cats and dogs came over to ask him about other things. It was Chinese New Year, so it would be better to have a lively play. The new heating method can be enjoyed later. .
All the dough kneaded before was turned into noodles. Xu Ning looked at everyone who was kneading the dough again, and asked Feng Nian to roll the dough into round cakes, and then ran to see the dog responsible for cutting the meat.
There is a lot of meat here, and several puppies that can't chew raw meat are milling around here. When they saw Xu Ning's figure, they immediately gathered around and chirped.
"Ning Ning, is it true that mom said we can eat too?!"
"Can we eat meat?"
"Does that white stuff taste good? If it tastes good, can you eat more?"
A group of cubs gathered around and made the cats' heads buzzing. Xu Ning patted their heads one by one with a meat pad and said, "Whether it's good or not, we'll find out later when it's cooked? Then you guys can Just pick what you like and eat it."
"right."
The little cubs were very coaxed. What Xu Ning said made sense, and they went to watch the big cats and dogs at work.
Xu Ning looked around, picked out the best minced meat, put it into the space, and took it to the kneading area for the cat to make dumplings. The dumplings were not delicious even with the meat filling alone, so Xu Ning asked the dog to put chopped vegetables into the meat and mix well.
This is what happened here. Xu Ning put the meat in front of the cats who were kneading the dough and showed them how to make dumplings. Spread out a large piece of rolled dough, take out a small ball of meat from the big basin and put it aside, then cover it with the other half of the dough, and step hard on the area to be sealed several times with your hairy feet. I also folded a few pleats out.
In this way, a 'dumpling' is ready.
Xu Ning's demonstration was so simple that the cats and dogs watching beside him felt that they could do it too. They all took a piece of dough in front of him and went to dig out the minced meat in the basin.
Xu Ning prepared herself mentally and squatted down next to the big black cat.
The cats were okay, their claws were flexible, and they carefully placed the meat on the dough. However, the subsequent pressing and kneading meant that the meat was slightly damaged due to lack of control over the strength. If the same thing happens to dogs, they will almost start fighting.
They thought a lot about the meat in the basin, and then they managed to get out a little bit and put it on top of the dough. When they were flipping the dough, their paws didn't pay attention and they kicked out the meat stuffing with the dough belt, or they just kicked it. The dough was trampled directly into pieces.
Xu Ning suppressed her smile as she watched them flapping around to retrieve their share of 'dumplings'. She stubbornly tried to finish making the dumplings, but in the end, they all ended up in their stomachs.
After seeing enough jokes, Xu Ning turned her head and was about to talk to Feng Nian when she found that her side was filled with prepared dumplings, and under Feng Nian's paw, there was one that was still taking shape.
Xu Ning:?
When did you do it? !
Sensing the kitten's gaze, Feng Nian paused his paws and looked back as if nothing had happened. "They are really too slow. If they don't make more, they won't be enough to eat at night."
Xu Ning felt that what Feng Nian said made sense, so he followed Feng Nian and took the dough and started making dumplings. The serious look on his face made Feng Nian feel guilty for a few seconds.
The big black cat looked at the dumplings he had stepped on randomly, and used his powers to carry Xu Ning on his back to tidy up the damaged areas. The movements on his paws were gentle and gentle.
The two cats worked seriously, and they didn't even know when the fight next to them would stop.
After the meat-filled dumplings were made, they started making dumplings mixed with vegetables. Xu Ning saw that the dumplings made by everyone were in good shape, so he ran to see where the meatballs were made.
Meatballs are difficult for other cats and dogs to make, so a few cats and dogs that can be controlled remotely made them here. Because some things were added to the meatballs, the finished product looks pretty good.
Xu Ning took a look at it, picked a slow-moving Maomao, and taught it how to make meatball soup.
The dogs were fine with their meat needs. The rice cooked on the fire was already cooked, and the dogs took it out and put it aside. Xu Ning had already told them how to make the noodles when kneading them. Trying to cook noodles.
Everything was on track. The white cat turned its beautiful blue eyes and took out a bottle of something from the space.
"What is this?" The little puppy's head popped up out of nowhere, curiously looking at the bottle in front of Xu Ning, its expectant eyes clearly indicating what it wanted to do.
Xu Ning pulled the wine spoon under his belly and pressed it down, speaking righteously: "This is not something a puppy can drink!"
The little puppy looked at the big white cat who was on guard, and then at the wine bottle that still had a little bit of it exposed, and looked at Xu Ning helplessly, "Is it true that puppies can't drink? Not even a little bit?"
The little guy's voice was coquettish, and he was deliberately acting coquettishly, which made Xu Ning, who had no resistance to Zaizai, become very soft-hearted.
But thinking about the dangers of alcohol, he closed his eyes, lowered his ears and repeated: "Puppies really can't drink."
As he spoke, his two thin ears pressed back harder, clearly not listening to the little puppy's voice.
The puppy chirped regretfully and stopped teasing Xu Ning. He planned to take a few sips secretly when everyone ate together.
Human food is so delicious, this drink must be delicious too!
After waiting for a while and not hearing any sound from outside, Xu Ning carefully opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the little puppy was no longer beside him. He quickly put the wine into the space and ran to the black cat.
"Feng Nian, how about we drink some wine today?"
"liquor?"
Feng Nian turned his head in confusion, looking at the big bottle that Xu Ning suddenly took out, and then at the expectant kitten.
"If you want to drink, just drink. Don't drink more."
"Don't worry! I won't drink too much!" Xu Ning said firmly.
Although cats and dogs often secretly drink human wine in the human world, in fact, for this group of animals, it is not much different from poison. Xu Ning just wants to drink less and experience the drifting. world.
It must be fun hehehe!
The kitten looked forward to drinking for a while, and was full of joy for everything that followed.
Everyone's preparations were done, everything was moved to the same side, and each cat and dog received some cooked meatball soup in their bowls. The oil in the pot above the fire has been poured in, and the unfinished meatballs are put in and fried by Feng Nian.
Everyone immersed themselves in eating a few bites and then having fun for a while. They all knew that today they would eat more than at the last party. If they filled their stomachs in one go, they would not be able to eat other delicious food later.
Therefore, Hanhan kept his head down and ate only ten puppies.
Xu Ning looked at the soup in his bowl and called to the Zai Zai closest to him, "I have some soup here, do you want to drink it?"
"drink!"
The little guy didn't think as much as the big cat. After hearing these words, he quickly drank the contents of his bowl in two gulps, then leaned over and drank the soup in Xu Ning's bowl.
Xu Ning patted the puppy's head with satisfaction and looked expectantly at the meatballs still fried in the pot.
It's enough for the meatballs to float in the hot oil. Feng Nian first fished one for himself and the kitten, and then for the other cats and dogs. As for the ones that were some distance away from it, he relied on other cats and dogs who could do it remotely. Fish.
The meatballs that had just come out of the hot oil were very hot. Xu Ning smelled the aroma of the meatballs and drooled with greed. He did not dare to go over and take a bite. He could only take out the wine he had prepared before from the space, and took out a dozen small cups. Look at Feng Nian.
Immediately understanding Mao Mao's thoughts, Feng Nian took a cup and poured Xu Ning a cup.
The taste of the wine was very special. Feng Nian smelled the fragrance coming out of the bottle and couldn't help but pour himself a glass. As for the other cats and dogs, they had to fend for themselves.
Xu Ning smelled the wine in front of him and mustered up the courage to dip a little bit with the tip of his tongue. The spicy taste of alcohol made Xu Ning shake his head. A light mist soon appeared in his blue eyes, as if he had been suffering from pain. What a grievance, beautiful and tight.
Compared to Xu Ning's cautiousness, Feng Nian drank most of it in one gulp. He slurped it twice and didn't feel there was anything good to drink, so he casually pushed the cup to the curious little ones who came over.
There was still a lot of wine left in the cup. The little kid who got it by accident couldn't wait to return to his small group with the wine cup in his mouth, and took the lead in taking a lick of something Xu Ning was not allowed to eat.
The puppies quickly became noisy. Xu Ning looked over with hazy eyes and saw ten little guys swaying on their feet, muttering something in their mouths, and rubbing against other big dogs and cats. .
Xu Ning's sluggish brain barely woke up, and he looked at where they were originally. The spilled wine was flowing on the mat, clearly showing what these little guys had just done.
