Chapter 360: Another Roast Rabbit Tomorrow
Pei Jing pursed his little lips, and because of this action, his lips, which were already rosy, appeared even more vibrant.
There was a sheen on them, making it clear he really wanted to eat at that moment.
Although Jiang Ran also hoped Pei Jing could eat the roasted rabbit sooner, good food requires patience.
If it isn’t perfectly roasted, the taste won’t be the best, but more importantly, eating undercooked rabbit can easily make a child like Pei Jing ill.
Fortunately, Pei Jing isn’t a bratty child.
Though he wants to eat, he merely watches eagerly without causing a fuss.
As time slowly passed, the aroma of the roasted rabbit grew richer, and its skin turned golden brown, glistening with drips of oil.
The oil dripping onto the fire made a sizzling sound that tempted everyone to salivate.
Watching this scene in the courtyard, it was understandable if they began to drool.
Nearby villagers also began to salivate after catching whiffs of the savory scent drifting with the wind.
But due to the courtyard walls’ obstruction and every home having closed doors, they could only smell it without knowing where the fragrance originated, leaving them unable to find its source.
Luckily, this torture didn’t last long.
After a while, Jiang Ran stepped forward, inspected it, and finally uttered the long-awaited words.
"It’s ready to eat."
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.
Though the rabbit was quite plump, it was not enough to feed the entire family.
Apart from the roasted rabbit, of course, there were other dishes prepared.
Even though the other dishes filled the table, once everyone sat down, their gazes were fixed on the roasted rabbit.
Jiang Ran originally intended to distribute the rabbit meat, but Pei Huai took over the task.
Since Pei Huai wanted to do it, Jiang Ran didn’t compete with him.
Pei Huai was already skilled at cooking, and dividing a roasted rabbit was no challenge for him.
Despite the rabbit having only four legs, due to its extra-large size, they were all big enough to eat separately.
Not only were the legs pulled off, but the meat was also separated by Pei Huai and placed on a large plate for everyone to share.
Such a big roasted rabbit was shared among them, leaving only bones at the end.
Even the rabbit head was gnawed on by Pei Yang.
After the meal, everyone was fully satisfied.
Though they had just eaten, Pei Yang was already thinking about the remaining fat rabbit.
"I think we don’t need to stew it; just roasting it like this is delicious. Let’s roast another one tomorrow."
No one objected to this suggestion.
The opportunity to roast rabbits is rare, considering such fat rabbits aren’t caught every day.
Those three little rabbits don’t know how long it will take for them to grow up, so if they’re eaten again, it’ll only be tomorrow.
With thoughts of roasted rabbit lingering, no one noticed how they spent the rest of the day.
The second day of the New Year is the day to visit the wife’s family.
However, Jiang Ran didn’t need to visit her own family.
Even though Jiang Ran didn’t need to visit her own family, she had to go with Wang Cuilan to visit the Wang Family.
This is something they do every year without fail.
As a result, the slaughtered fat rabbit was brought to the Wang Family and roasted there.
Even though everyone in the Wang Family knew Jiang Ran’s culinary skills were excellent, they were still astonished when they tasted the roasted rabbit.
