Chapter 140 The Kitten is So Cute The House is Almost Demolished
"Wow, this kitten is so cute! Let's adopt it." Su Panpan said excitedly.
"Okay, I also think it's very lovable." Shen Ru nodded with a smile.
Erniu scratched his head and asked, "What should we name it?"
The three of them fell into thought. After a while, Su Panpan said happily, "How about calling it Mengmeng?"
"Mengmeng, this name is so cute." Shen Ru and Erniu said in unison.
This little kitten is yellowish-brown, not much different from the fox spirit's fur color, and its body is covered with fur, like a small ball of fur; its eyes are like two crystal clear gems, sparkling with curiosity; its small mouth is pink and tender, and it makes a soft "meow" sound from time to time; its soft little paws make people want to touch them when they see them.
The three of them gathered together, cooperated with each other, and worked hard to make a small nest for Mengmeng.
Su Panpan took a piece of soft cloth and cut it carefully, muttering, "Mengmeng will definitely feel comfortable using this cloth as a cushion."
Shen Ru was sorting out some old clothes to fill the nest: "These clothes are very warm, Meng Meng won't feel cold when she sleeps in them."
Erniu was busy assembling the frame of the nest. As he fiddled with the wooden strips, he said, "Make this sturdy so Mengmeng can sleep safely in it."
After working for a while, the nest was finally ready.
They carefully placed Meng Meng in the nest. Meng Meng lay comfortably in it, eyes slightly closed, looking very comfortable. From time to time, his little head would rub against the soft cushion, which looked very cute.
Su Panpan, Shen Ru and Erniu looked at Mengmeng, and smiles of love for the little kitten appeared on their faces.
"What if it ran away from someone else's house?" Erniu suddenly thought of this question.
"When the time comes, we can return it. If we don't adopt it now, it will freeze to death or starve to death in such cold weather." Su Panpan said indifferently.
"Yeah, too."
After settling the kitten, Shen Ru got up to heat up the food.
The three of them ate and chatted, and also got some rice and meat for the kitten.
"When the time comes, we can ask Zhou Youliang or that old man Zhang to introduce some craftsmen who understand design." Su Panpan was full and was pouring water to make hawthorn jam while stirring it in the cup with a spoon.
Su Panpan looked at the hawthorn jam gradually melting in the cup. She turned to Shen Ru and said, "Once we find a craftsman who understands design, our plan to open a store will be able to move forward better."
Shen Ru nodded slightly.
Erniu said excitedly, "Of course it can be done. With skilled craftsmen, you can build any house you want."
Su Panpan smiled and continued, "Zhou Youliang and Old Man Zhang know a lot of people, so the craftsmen they introduce must be reliable."
As we were chatting, we became sleepy and went to bed early without even processing the vegetables we bought.
The next morning.
The sun shines on the cobblestone road, the old trees on the corner are still tall and straight, and the steamed bun shop on the roadside emits bursts of tempting aroma.
In the kitchen, Su Panpan was busy sorting the ingredients while she said loudly, "Shen Ru, Er Niu, we didn't process the ingredients last night in advance, so making lunch will take a lot of time. Today, just the two of you go to the house and watch over it. I'll make lunch at home."
Shen Ru quickly responded, "Okay, Panpan, let's go now."
After saying that, she and Erniu walked quickly towards the house.
Su Panpan watched their backs as they left, and then began to wash the vegetables.
Her hands skillfully moved in the water, washing the dirt off the vegetables.
Then she picked up the kitchen knife and cut the vegetables quickly. The "clacking" sound of cutting vegetables echoed in the kitchen.
At this time, the kitten was lying leisurely on the stool basking in the sun.
It squinted its eyes, enjoying the warm sunshine, and occasionally moved its ears, as if listening to the movements around it.
Its fur looks even softer in the sunlight, like golden silk threads, and its slightly undulating belly shows its coziness and comfort.
The whole scene is filled with tranquility and peace, which makes people relax involuntarily.
When Shen Ru and Erniu arrived at the house, the masters were working in full swing.
Su Panpan had almost finished preparing the dishes and was ready to start cooking.
Su Panpan stood in the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, ready to show off her skills.
First stew yam, pork ribs and red dates in the back pot.
After blanching the ribs, put them into the pot together with the yam and red dates, add enough water and simmer slowly.
Braised pork trotters is a big project and a time-consuming dish, so Su Panpan decided to stew the pig's trotters first.
After blanching the pig's trotters, heat oil in a pot and fry rock sugar until it turns brown. Add the pig's trotters to color them. Then add spices such as onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, as well as seasonings such as cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, etc., add water and simmer slowly.
As time passed, the aroma of the pork ribs and yam soup gradually spread, the pig's trotters were stewed until they were soft and tasty, and the soup was thick.
The craftsmen working on the house were also making faster and faster progress, wielding their tools and removing each brick and tile of the house.
Shen Ru and Er Niu continued to help and assist.
With the hard work of the craftsmen, the house was gradually demolished. The walls, roof, doors and windows disappeared with the sound of knocking.
Finally, when the last brick and stone was cleared away, the house became a thing of the past.
"It's finally done." Shen Ru and Er Niu stood on the open land. "Masters, thank you for your hard work. Let's go back and eat."
The pig's trotters are already served.
Su Panpan is currently making stir-fried lamb with green onions, slicing the lamb and cutting the green onions into sections.
Heat oil in a pan, add the lamb slices and stir-fry until they change color, then add shredded ginger to remove the fishy smell, then add the scallion segments and stir-fry over high heat, add salt and light soy sauce to season, and the aroma will spread.
At this time, the kitten was attracted by the fragrance and appeared out of nowhere. It circled around her feet, raised its little head, twitched its little nose, and occasionally stretched out its little paws to reach for the food.
"Wow, you're back so early today. Is it done?" Su Panpan saw Erniu and the masters coming back from the window and asked.
"Well, Panpan, it's basically done. We just need to clean it up in the afternoon." Erniu answered excitedly.
A dark-skinned craftsman with a proud look on his face said, "We finished the main wall yesterday, so today's things are just a piece of cake."
"Correct."
"Yes."
The masters behind also smiled and nodded.
"The chefs came quite early today, so hurry up." Shen Ru said as she went into the kitchen to help.
Shen Ru brought out the pig's trotters and the pork rib soup, and Su Panpan followed with the bowl and chopsticks.
"Chefs, please start eating first. The next few dishes will be here soon." After Su Panpan finished speaking, she signaled Erniu with her eyes.
Erniu quickly invited all the masters to sit at the table, filled their glasses with wine, and greeted everyone.
