"Girl, let's do it for my brother."
"Okay, here you go."
Liu Mingzhi stood up, took the half bucket of hot water from Ren Qingrui's hand, and leaned over to pour it into the wooden basin at his feet.
Ren Qingrui saw Liu Mingzhi pouring hot water and handed the kitchen knife in front of Young Master Liu.
"Da Guoguo, do you want to get the pheasant first? Or the hare first?"
Liu Mingzhi took the kitchen knife handed by the beauty, held it in his arms with a graceful movement, squatted down, picked up the pheasant on the side and gently put it into the wooden basin.
"First scald the pheasant with hot water, and for my brother's sake, I first remove the fur from the hare."
Ren Qingrui lifted up her sleeves and wiped the fine sweat from her tender forehead, raised her skirt with both hands, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and squatted opposite Young Master Liu with delicate eyes.
"Da Guoguo, is there anything you need my help with?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at the beautiful woman opposite him, chuckled and shook his head.
"No, just take a good look at it."
"Oh, sister understands."
Liu Mingzhi used both hands to swing the sharp kitchen knife quickly on the already dead hare.
"Girl, do you want to close your eyes?"
Ren Qingrui shook her head with a smile, looked at the hare in Young Master Liu's hand, and shook her head a few times without hesitation.
"Da Guoguo, you underestimate my sister too much.
I have lived here alone for so long, and I have to make all my own food and clothing.
You've already gotten used to this kind of thing, okay?"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and raised his hand to pick up the slashed fur on the hare.
"Girl, should you throw away the rabbit skin, or keep it and wait to sell it?"
Ren Qingrui immediately straightened up her slender waist and stretched out her hand to take the rabbit skin in Young Master Liu's hand.
"Don't throw it away, don't throw it away, how can you throw away such a volatile thing? Of course, keep it to sell leather goods later.
A good hare skin can be sold for thirty or forty cents at most in the city!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty who was gently arranging the hare fur, holding the rabbit meat in her hand and walking towards the wooden basin next to the water tank with a smile.
"Hehehe, girl, I didn't realize that you are actually a little money-crazy, brother!"
Ren Qingrui wrinkled her nose gently and snorted at Young Master Liu's back.
"Hmph, Da Guoguo, sister, how can I be called a money addict?
You have to know that this is how ordinary people live their lives!"
As Ren Qingrui spoke, she picked up the fur in her hand, stood up and walked towards the sunny wall outside the kitchen.
Hanging the fur in his hand on the wooden hook on the wall, Ren Qingrui clapped her hands and walked towards Young Master Liu.
"A good-quality fur costs thirty or forty copper coins. For ordinary people, this money can buy a lot of rice!
Do you think that everyone is like you, the king of a country, and don’t care about dozens of pennies!"
Young Master Liu was cleaning the internal organs of the hare in the wooden basin, and rolled his eyes angrily at Ren Qingrui, who was walking towards him.
"Girl, what are you talking about? Brother, when did I stop taking dozens of pennies seriously?
Outsiders don’t know what it’s like to be a brother. Don’t you still know what it’s like to be a brother?
When Brother Wei was doing fortune-telling for customers at a divination stall in Beijing, he had to bargain with others for a long time in order to earn an extra ten cents!
My brother can see ten pennies, let alone dozens of pennies."
"Haha, sister, I believed your lies."
Ren Qingrui sneered twice, her beautiful eyes rolled at Young Master Liu with an angry look, and she had an expression on her pretty face that said, "It's weird if I believe you."
Then, she picked up a wooden ladle and filled a ladle of water into the water tank, then poured it into the wooden basin while leaning over her waist.
"Daguoguo, how do you plan to eat this rabbit?"
"Broil it!"
"Ah? Braised in soy sauce... braised in soy sauce?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Ren Qingrui looked at Young Master Liu's puzzled expression and laughed a few times with embarrassment on his pretty face.
"Hehehe, what about braised braised pork, my cooking skills are still... still...
Daguoguo, you know how to spread it!"
"I understand, just do it for my brother."
Ren Qingrui has been with Mr. Liu for many years, so she naturally knows that he is a good cook. After hearing his words, she nodded hurriedly a few times.
"Yeah, yeah, then I'll bear the fruit of your hard work."
As Ren Qingrui spoke, she walked towards Young Master Liu with a smile, raised her white lotus-rooted arm and touched Young Master Liu's arm.
"Big fruit fruit!"
"What's wrong?"
"Well, since you've cooked the hare anyway, you can also cook the other meals.
We've been separated for so long, and my sister hasn't eaten the food you cooked for a long time."
Liu Mingzhi rolled his eyes angrily, picked up the wooden basin and walked towards the fence.
"Brother Wei will cook all the meals. What about you, girl? Are you just waiting to eat?"
"Sister, I can light a fire for you!"
"Good fellow, I am a guest at your house. As a brother, I have to cook the food myself.
As a guest, there is no one else.
Are you a guest? Or am I a guest?"
Ren Qingrui smiled and hurriedly filled up a ladle of water and handed it to Young Master Liu who was returning.
"Oh, Daguoguo, with the friendship between the two of us, there is no such thing as being a guest.
Sister, I can swear to God, I definitely did not treat you as a guest.
Besides, sister, I just want to eat the food you cooked."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and put the wooden basin in his hand on the ground, turned around and walked towards the wooden basin next to which the pheasants were being cooked.
"Come on, girl, since you have said so, what else can I say as a brother?"
"Hehehe, my sister knows you are the best in Daguoguo."
"What are you stunned for? Qingshui, a kitchen knife!"
"Hey, it's coming, it's coming."
Ren Qingrui responded with a smile on her face, immediately bent down to pick up the kitchen knife on the ground, and walked towards Young Master Liu with a pretty face happily.
The two of us were going back and forth, you were talking and I was processing the ingredients for today with a smile on my face.
They were all smiling and intimate, like a group of newlyweds.
Maybe neither Liu Mingzhi nor the others noticed that they were so relaxed and comfortable when getting along with each other.
About half an hour later, Liu Mingzhi picked up the wooden basin containing chicken, rabbit, fish, and vegetables and walked straight towards the kitchen.
"Girl, should we cook now or wait until sunset?"
"Daguoguo, I'm not particularly hungry right now, why don't we take Dahei and the others to the mountains to have some fun?
After feeding them all, we can have dinner with confidence.
By the way, we can also feed Da Guoguo, your horse."
Liu Mingzhi placed the wooden basin on the stove and walked towards the outside of the stove with a slight frown.
