Chapter 359: Roasted Rabbit
Seeing the house restored to cleanliness, Jiang Ran finally felt much more at ease.
It’s probably just for today. Starting tomorrow, everyone will begin visiting relatives and friends, and it’s unlikely they’ll have time to come to their house.
At this moment, Pei Jing also came over together with Pei Shanshan.
The little guy didn’t know what had just happened. As soon as he ran over, he went to Wang Cuilan, grabbed her arm, and looked up at her, "Grandma, Mom and Dad brought back many little rabbits, they’re so pretty. Come and see!"
"Rabbits?"
Wang Cuilan glanced at Pei Huai, eyes full of understanding.
She finally knew what Pei Huai and Jiang Ran went to do.
Being looked at by Wang Cuilan with such an expression, Pei Huai felt a bit uncomfortable. He lightly coughed and turned his head, avoiding Wang Cuilan’s gaze.
Wang Cuilan didn’t continue staring at Pei Huai because she was pulled away by Pei Jing to look at the little rabbits.
The little rabbits were indeed very cute, and even the two big rabbits looked soft and plush because they were well-fed.
A basket could house three small rabbits, but couldn’t simultaneously accommodate the two big rabbits.
Wang Cuilan discussed with Jiang Ran about slaughtering the two big rabbits.
They could have some for lunch today, and the rest they could freeze, not needing to worry about spoilage.
Jiang Ran had no objections; she even thought about setting up a grill to simply have grilled rabbit.
There’s some difference in taste between braised and grilled rabbit.
One can’t say which is better, only that both are delicious.
Pei Huai had already figured out what Jiang Ran was thinking. Seeing her expression, he knew what she wanted to do.
Anyway, the snow had become very light and negligible, so setting up a simple grill for roasting rabbit meat was entirely doable.
Without saying a word, Pei Huai went to set up the grill, and Jiang Ran, seeing this, didn’t say much but went to prepare the sauce.
There are two important points for delicious grilled rabbit: one is the heat level, and the other is the sauce brushed onto the outside.
Setting up the grill wasn’t Jiang Ran’s forte.
But mastering the heat level and concocting the sauce was Jiang Ran’s expertise.
As time slowly passed, the aroma of the roasted rabbit began to spread.
Because it was being grilled in the yard without any barriers, the wind blew the aroma outward.
Everyone in the Pei Family in the yard could smell it, and the neighbors nearby could smell it too.
Fortunately, the gate was closed; otherwise, there would definitely be many people standing at the entrance watching.
Jiang Ran wasn’t afraid of being watched, but letting people stare at them eating wouldn’t be nice.
If they were to share, even though a rabbit is quite large, it’s only enough for their family.
If they shared with neighbors, each person would probably only get a few mouthfuls.
This wouldn’t do! Wouldn’t do at all!
While thinking about this, Jiang Ran turned her head and saw Pei Jing eagerly looking at the grilled rabbit.
Pei Jing’s originally round and large eyes were fixed on the grilled rabbit, his little mouth occasionally moving.
Jiang Ran thought that if he could, Pei Jing might rush over and take a bite out of the roasted rabbit.
Although she also really wanted to eat it, seeing Pei Jing like this, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Just as she was staring at Pei Jing, he suddenly turned his head with a puzzled expression, "Mom, what’s wrong? Why are you always looking at me?"
Jiang Ran hadn’t answered yet when Pei Jing’s little face turned red.
Probably, he understood why Jiang Ran was staring at him.
