The day before returning to the village, Song Xixi took Ya'er to Ruyi Restaurant and found Qiu Baotou's distant cousin so that the two could get to know each other and see if they were destined to be masters and apprentices.
Qiu Baotou's cousin's surname is Shan, and he is known as Chef Shan.
Looking at Ya'er with thin arms and thin legs, Chef Shan was very dissatisfied. He felt that she didn't have the strength in her hands to pick up the pot, let alone tilt the spoon.
However, he still gave Ya'er a chance. While there were no customers in the restaurant, he asked her to cook a dish for him to try.
Ya'er is a good cook and is good at all kinds of home-cooked dishes. She made a simple stir-fried Chinese cabbage with lard, and was unexpectedly praised by Chef Shan, who showed his intention to accept her as his apprentice.
Ya'er wanted to improve her cooking skills and cook delicious food for Song Xixi in the future, so she naturally would not miss this opportunity, so under the witness of Song Xixi, she happily accepted Chef Dan as her chef.
Ya'er is an apprentice. After graduation, she doesn't have to work as a cook at Ruyi Restaurant. Even if she doesn't get paid during her apprenticeship, she still has to work for Chef Shan on weekdays, and does a lot of washing and dishwashing.
The advantage is that you can have three meals a day at the restaurant, and you can use the restaurant's ingredients for free to practice. Of course, those rare ingredients that the restaurant may not be able to get every day are definitely not available.
After making arrangements for Ya'er, Song Xixi returned to the village with her family.
The dogs and Wubai hadn't seen Song Xixi for several days. The moment they saw her, they were all so happy that they jumped into her arms one after another, insisting on giving her a hug before they would come down.
Because of his small stature, Wubai nestled directly into Song Xixi's shoulder. When he saw the dogs jumping up, he would even give them cat punches in a bad way, until the dogs dared not open their eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Sanyu breathed a sigh of relief: "In the past few days when you were away, they have lost their energy and appetite. If you don't come back, I think they will have to go to the city to find you."
Song Xixi rubbed the dog's head and was moved by the dogs' dependence.
At this time, Song Qingqing, who opened the door first, shouted loudly: "Little sister!"
Song Xixi heard the fear in her voice and hurriedly put down the dog and rushed in.
Others hurriedly followed and grabbed everything they could in the yard.
In the main room, Song Qingqing was holding a bunch of things and stood there without moving. Opposite her was a tall but thin wolf (dog?), baring its white teeth at her and letting out a dangerous low whine in its throat.
.
"Da Mao?"
Seeing the big guy standing at the dining table, Song Xixi, who rushed in fiercely, stopped, and also stopped Song Wufu and others who almost greeted him: "This is the child of two hundred and five and a handful of hair. Somehow, it turned out that
Ran down the mountain."
Last year, Yi Tu Mao gave birth to two cubs, which were named Da Mao Er Mao by Song Xixi.
Under the feeding of her and the wolves, Big Hair and Er Mao grew extremely strong, and were almost taller than the 250-year-old dog father before he was a teenager.
Looking at Da Mao's eyes that were exactly the same as those of Er Bai Wu, everyone believed that it was Er Bai Wu's child. They all put down the sticks and stones in their hands and praised Da Mao as if they were their own children:
"As expected of a descendant of a wolf, look at that look in his eyes, how fierce he is, he must be a good hunter!"
"The legs and feet are very strong, but they look too thin. The rest is just a tuft of hair. Maybe in the future, like a tuft of hair, he will become a heroic wolf in the wolf pack."
"Its eyes are like two hundred and fifty. It must have inherited two hundred and fifty's intelligence. Such a smart and brave wolf can only be born with two hundred and fifty and a tuft of hair."
"..."
There are so many Twolegs, but Da Mao is only familiar with Song Xixi.
Seeing so many people pouring in at once, it appeared in front of people for the first time. I don't know if it was frightened or at a loss. It stood there without moving, and the whine in its throat did not stop.
"Da Mao, come here."
Song Xixi called out again and approached Da Mao cautiously.
Although she was very familiar with Da Mao, Da Mao was not in a normal mood right now, so she had to approach him carefully to avoid being disturbed and making him do the wrong thing.
Two Hundred and Five no longer had such worries. He rushed to Da Mao's side in a hurry, bumped his head lightly against Da Mao, and whined without knowing what he was calling.
The dog father's call made Da Mao gradually relax, and he walked up to Song Xixi with four legs. He raised his head and touched the back of her stretched out hand with his wet nose: "Woo~"
Song Xixi smiled slightly and squatted down to be eye-level with it: "Why did you come down the mountain? Did 250 bring you down? I'll take you back after dinner later."
Unless something serious happened, the wolf would not go down the mountain to come into contact with humans. Even though she watched Da Mao grow up, Da Mao had no intention of going down the mountain before. It was impossible for him to suddenly come down again now. She had to go to the wolves to see the wolves in person before she could rest assured.
Before Song Xixi could figure out the reason, Song Cai's imagination opened up: "Good boy, it ran down so well. Could it be that Erbai Wu and Yi Tu Mao had a falling out? From now on Da Mao will follow Er Bai Wu, right?"
Song Xixi said helplessly: "Dad, you have such imagination, it would be a shame not to write a storybook."
Song Cai showed a look of regret: "It's a pity that your father didn't study. Even if he has a mind full of stories, he can't write them!"
Song Xixi ignored him and took out a Moji fragrant duck and distributed it to the three dogs, one wolf and one cat.
Looking at the big fur in the wind, Song Qingqing suggested: "Little sister, since it has gone down the mountain, why not just keep it. From now on, when we grow green and red potatoes in the ground, we must let them help look after it."
Song Xixi shook her head: "I'll wait until I go to the mountain to take a look."
After the meal, Song Cai Niu Hua'er and Song Qingqing went to the town, preparing to open their business tomorrow; Song Wufu and others carried hoes to weed the potato fields, and loosen the soil to catch the rainwater so that the potatoes would grow better and faster.
Song Xixi took 250 of them and Da Mao up the mountain while there was no one outside.
Halfway to the wolf den, Erbaiwu suddenly turned around and walked to the other side.
Song Xixi knew that Tu Mao was hunting or patrolling in that direction, so she followed him with a pole and bench without any objection.
Sure enough, a pack of wolves led by Po'er Yiqumai was hunting three wild sheep that had come out to look for food.
While chasing the prey, there was a blue-eyed wolf that stood out. It was Ermao, Da Mao's sibling.
I saw Ermao pounce at a tricky angle and successfully drag down the hind leg of one of the sheep. No matter how much the sheep jumped and kicked, he was still unable to hurt it at all.
Ermao is still less than one year old, and his performance is partly due to Yizuomao's careful teaching. The main reason is that he strives for his own success.
Song Xixi and the dogs watched with great interest. Unexpectedly, one of the rams dashed away from the wolf pack and ran straight in the direction where they were.
The bench was so excited that he was the first to rush forward and try to catch the prey that came to his door.
Not to be outdone, the pole followed his brother's footsteps and chose to attack the ram from the side, cooperating with his brother's actions.
Two Hundred and Five was not afraid of the ram's sharp long horns. He jumped onto the ram's back with a running start, opened his mouth and tried to bite through the ram's back.
Only Da Mao, seeing the heroic actions of Dog Father and Uncle Dog, his first reaction was not to rush forward to sweep the formation, but to retreat in fear with his tail between his legs.
Seeing this scene, Song Xixi suddenly realized——
No wonder Da Mao is tall, no worse than the sub-adult wolves in the wolf pack, but he is thin and has dull hair. It turns out that he is afraid of prey and cannot participate in hunting.
