Chapter 93 Su Xiaoxiao Makes Cold-Cooked Rabbit

Grandma Wang, with her gossipy air, wasn't angry at Su Xiaoxiao's indifferent attitude towards her.

She still feigned curiosity and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Grandma Wang said shyly, "Isn't this my youngest daughter, Liu Xiugu? You know she's already eighteen and still unmarried. I think that young master Qian is quite handsome, and I was wondering if you could help us make a match and introduce her to someone?"

So that's what it was about. Su Xiaoxiao finally knew. She looked at Granny Wang with feigned surprise and said, "What are you thinking? Even if it's an introduction, I should at least consider myself first, okay?"

Grandma Wang looked even more surprised. She looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Don't you already have Sanlang? You, you still..."

Su Xiaoxiao grinned at her and said, "That's right. I'm still a young widow and haven't gotten married yet. I still have the right to choose. I have to compare them, and if someone is better, I'll be with them."

Grandma Wang was so angry at her that her beard almost stood on end, but luckily she didn't have a beard.

Su Xiaoxiao watched as Granny Wang was so angry with her that she started cursing and saying things like Su Xiaoxiao had no shame, and then she left.

"Hmph, of course I'd keep the good stuff for myself. It's not your turn. Besides, who are you? Why should I introduce you?"

Sanlang, standing behind Su Xiaoxiao, stared blankly at her and asked, "What good stuff do you want to keep for yourself, Su Xiaoxiao? What were you saying just now?"

When Su Xiaoxiao turned around, she saw Sanlang standing behind her.

"I was just talking nonsense. You know Granny Wang is a very annoying person, so don't take it to heart."

Su Xiaoxiao felt she had really had enough, and now she had to comfort Sanlang's feelings. What was she doing? "It's okay, don't overthink it."

Su Xiaoxiao was really afraid that Sanlang would revert to his jealous Nyonya persona, and she still had to take care of Sanlang's feelings.

"By the way, Sanlang, we'll be starting to build the factory after the New Year. We'll definitely be very busy then, so I'll have to trouble you to look after Dabao and Xiaobao."

Saburo nodded quickly and said, "Okay."

He was quite satisfied with Su Xiaoxiao's answer, after all, Su Xiaoxiao cared about his opinion, which showed that she paid attention to him.

Seeing that Sanlang wasn't pretending to be a jealous wife today, Su Xiaoxiao was relieved. So, she happily said to Sanlang, "Let's go hunting in the mountains today."

Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to eat cold-cooked rabbit today, and the seasonings Qian Musheng brought her were perfect for making that dish.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao's cooking skills have improved a lot recently because she has been eating so much delicious food. However, she also really likes this dish, which is why she thought of going up the mountain to hunt a rabbit herself to make fresh cold-served rabbit.

Su Xiaoxiao took her bow and arrows and went up the mountain with Sanlang, Dabao, and Xiaobao. This time, they encountered several wild rabbits in the forest.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly shot and killed several wild rabbits, and she took them home with her.

Sanlang was quite puzzled and asked Su Xiaoxiao what "cold-cooked rabbit" was, but Su Xiaoxiao kept him in suspense.

"You'll know when I make it."

The two children were also very excited, since they had never heard of this cold-cooked rabbit dish before.

After they brought the rabbit home together, Su Xiaoxiao first slaughtered it. She remembered that when she traveled to Sichuan, she had eaten a local snack called "cold-cooked rabbit".

Because people in Sichuan love to eat rabbit meat, especially spicy rabbit heads, it's said that no rabbit can escape Sichuan alive. Su Xiaoxiao was once obsessed with this dish, and she felt she had to try it herself. After returning home, she started searching online for recipes and tutorials on how to make cold-served rabbit.

She tried making it a few times, and it was pretty good; everyone around her praised how delicious it was.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that there were a lot of seasonings this time, which would be perfect for making cold-served rabbit.

It's true that Sanlang is really unreliable. Just now, when Su Xiaoxiao was about to tell him to kill the rabbit, he was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

"No, I dare not."

Su Xiaoxiao found it both funny and infuriating to see Sanlang wave his hand in refusal.

"What a mess."

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao slaughtered the rabbit herself, skinned it, and cleaned its internal organs.

Sanlang, Dabao, and Xiaobao were playing hide-and-seek in the yard. Under the sunlight, Sanlang's face was beaming with a bright smile. The moment the light hit his face, Su Xiaoxiao felt that the world was simply too beautiful. It was wonderful to be able to admire a handsome man up close.

Just how wonderful is it? It's like Hiroki Iijima is right here in your yard, watching your kids and playing hide-and-seek with them.

And you are busy in the kitchen for them, watching over them while making them cold rabbit.

Why is it always you who has to work so hard? But if you think about it from another perspective, it's not so bad. Being able to do these things for the people you like is actually quite wonderful.

Su Xiaoxiao was content; in that sense, all the hard work was worthwhile.

After cutting the rabbit into cubes, Su Xiaoxiao added seasonings to help it absorb the flavor.

Of course, cutting these small pieces is also very particular; they can't be too big, and knife skills are required.

After Su Xiaoxiao added scallions, ginger, and garlic to the diced meat, she thought she should add some white wine to remove the fishy smell.

Su Xiaoxiao put half a pot of oil in the pot, first sautéing the scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then scooping them out, so that the oil in the pot would be fragrant.

Su Xiaoxiao first fried the diced rabbit in the pot, and then fried the marinated rabbit meat again.

Frying the rabbit meat twice like this makes it even more delicious.

After stir-frying over high heat, Su Xiaoxiao continued to add Sichuan peppercorns and red chili pepper pieces, so that the rabbit meat could absorb the aroma of the spices.

After stir-frying over high heat, Su Xiaoxiao placed the rabbit meat in the pot onto a plate. The chili peppers here weren't too pungent, but rather smelled incredibly tempting, filling the entire kitchen with their aroma. Sanlang saw Su Xiaoxiao cooking in their open kitchen (which had been damaged by fire and hadn't been repaired yet), surrounded by white steam, like a scene from a fairy tale.

Sanlang was stunned. At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao really seemed like a fairy descended from heaven in his eyes.

"Stop playing around, come over and try my cold-cooked rabbit!"

Saburo was already drooling as he looked at the pot of rabbit meat. "Come and have a taste."

Su Xiaoxiao felt that if she didn't let him eat, Sanlang's mouth would start watering.
