The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 403 Is this what a rat is really like? Is it reasonable?

"Ah Qing, wake up! Time for a midnight snack! An specially went through connections to get some fresh ingredients, including scallions, ginger, pepper strips, and fresh Sichuan peppercorns. All that's missing is you getting up and cooking it!"

Around five in the morning, the little fox pressed its snout against Ah Qing's cheek and started poking.

"He's reached his rebellious phase."

Half-asleep, Ah Qing opened her eyes and saw the little fox looking excited, its paws digging into the edge of the bed and nudging its cheeks with its snout. Ah Qing, still half-asleep, mumbled something incoherently.

The probability of a person being killed by a fox while they are asleep is by no means zero.

The rebellious fox is very lively and likes to use the Fox Carrot on the bed while humans are sleeping, using its own weight of about ten pounds to trigger a crushing attack.

But Fox had no bad intentions; he just hadn't had enough fun that night and wanted someone to play with him.

Therefore, the bed sheets cannot be white, to prevent the fox from mistaking the sheets for snow and causing a frenzy.

Half-asleep, Ah Qing recalled the fox-raising knowledge that Wang Ya had taught her. But just as Ah Qing was about to hug the fragrant and soft fox, get into bed, change her position, and go back to sleep, she realized that...

As if she had caught a key word, Ah Qing suddenly widened her eyes, rolled over, and stared at the little fox clinging to the edge of the bed, its face full of excitement. She exclaimed in surprise:
"not good!"

"You just said you brought back a late-night snack?"

"What did you bring home? Or did you bring nothing at all and just bring it home fresh?!"

Given Xiao An's fighting prowess and the creatures within the Qinling ecosystem, several venomous snakes, toads, shrews, mountain rats, squirrels, and giant salamanders suddenly flashed through A Qing's mind.

"Hey!"

Seeing Ah Qing's energetic face, An Sheng landed back on the ground and walked towards the dormitory door. When he reached the door, he turned back and nodded towards Ah Qing.

The little fox took three steps in two and leaped onto the wooden handrail of the stairs, then slid down to the first floor.

"Hey!"

An Sheng squatted down next to the fishing box, raised his head, looked at A Qing who had just walked out of the room on the second floor, and raised his paw to pat the pink and purple fishing box next to him.

"Um!?"

A-Qing, who had just stepped out of the dormitory, froze, staring at Xiao An with disbelief on her face:
"Are all these bags and packages for midnight snacks?"

The late-night snack that Xiao An brought back was completely unexpected by A Qing.

A fishing box that didn't look cheap, two bright red plastic bags from the supermarket, and a case of Coke.

To make sure she wasn't seeing things, A-Qing rubbed her eyes, but the midnight snacks next to the little fox didn't disappear; instead, they bounced around.

The hissing sound of the aerator and the splashing of water inside the fishing box startled Ah Qing.

The little fox went out for a late-night snack.

Then, did you hunt down an oxygenator?
"."

After a moment of silence, A-Qing spoke with difficulty, asking Xiao-An, "Xiao-An, tell me honestly, did you kick the fisherman into the stream and steal his fishing box to eat as a midnight snack because you were annoyed that he wasn't catching any fish?"

Ah Qing had also fished before; she had seen fishermen with cats watching over them.

Every time the angler casts his line and reels it in, if there are no fish on the hook, the cat will be very disappointed. If an hour passes without a fish, the cat will pant.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly kick someone into a ditch?"

“I usually use super glue to sew up their groins!” An Sheng rolled his eyes and continued patting the fishing box.

"You can't bite someone's butt! If you do, we'll have to pay for their rabies vaccination."

Ah Qing came downstairs with a strange expression. She first glanced at the blankets and bedding that looked like they belonged to a fisherman who had spent the night outdoors. Inside the red plastic bag were snow-white sheets that didn't seem to have been used at all, and the cotton felt soft to the touch. Just by touching them, she knew they were high-quality items, without even needing to do any research.

Ah Qing's expression became a little strange, and she looked at the fishing box next to the little fox.

Ah Qing opened the fishing box, which was half-filled with water and contained three fish. Two of them were bright red and had a shiny, glittering appearance, which looked festive at first glance.

The other fish was covered in black spots and its body was mottled. Its mouth was sharp and thin like a mouse's, and the whole fish looked limp and about to die.

But when Ah Qing saw the fish, she gasped in shock and exclaimed:

"Old spotted rat?! Over two pounds of spotted rat!"

When it comes to grouper, the most famous one in the grouper family is the East Red Grouper. However, its fame comes from its festive color, which makes it suitable for various banquets. In terms of true deliciousness, the East Red Grouper is not even worthy of being served at a dinner table.

Despite its ugly appearance, the grouper is renowned as the king of groupers when it comes to its delicious taste.

However, due to its ugliness and its price of around four figures per kilogram, its popularity is far less than that of the East Star Grouper.

"Xiao An, is this the big rat you were talking about?" A Qing stared blankly at the little fox: "A big water rat?"

"Hey!"

An Sheng didn't answer A Qing, but just patted the red sturgeon tied with a rope in the fishing box.

Ah Qing looked at the red crab. At first glance, she didn't see anything wrong with it. It wasn't until she saw a clump of orange hair on the crab's claws and legs that Ah Qing seemed to realize something. She turned one of the four blue crabs in the fishing box over and her eyes widened.

The "red crab" that Xia Dong mentioned actually refers to the mud crab with full roe. From the top, it looks like an ordinary mud crab, but if you look at it from the bottom, you can see the orange-red roe inside the shell.

If it is a gift box package from a specific production area, it can even reach an astronomical price of 3,000 yuan per kilogram during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Xiao An, tell me honestly, did you rob some five-star hotel?"

Ah Qing stared at the little fox, completely dumbfounded.

An inland city without a sea, with rat-like spots.
You didn't say that the big rat you caught last night was a spotted rat! I figured you should just eat some mountain rats.

"Where? Where are the spotted rats?" Ah Qing asked, looking at her little fox. Suddenly, Mo Yiqing's voice rang out from behind her.

Mo Yiqing, who should have been sleeping soundly, seemed to have received some trigger word and got out of bed, his face showing the word "greedy" as he came out of the dormitory.

"Heroes don't ask about their origins, and ingredients don't ask about their source!"

"If you really want to ask, Ah Qing, then I can only lie to you out of goodwill!" An Sheng patted the bag in the upper layer of the fishing box, gesturing for Ah Qing to go and take a look.

After the ingredients passed through the hands of Butler Lin, she prepared the necessary ingredients for Master Fuli, so all he had to do was cook it at home. The thoughtful Lin Bingyun naturally had thought of that.

Master Fuli was worried that Ah Qing might question him about carrying these things back, so he specially put a letter in the box to explain the source of the ingredients.

Ah Qing picked up the waterproof bag with a suspicious look and took out the letters inside.

Her expression shifted from suspicion to stunned silence, then her mouth unconsciously puffed out like a squirrel's.

There was nothing written on the letter.

I simply wrote a few sentences.

[With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Happy Holidays, Xiao An! I had the housekeeper bring you some seasonal ingredients, so eat with confidence! They were all carefully selected by your Auntie. —Lin Ying.]

"Oh ho!" Mo Yiqing looked at the letter and said with a strange expression, "It seems that your neighbor is also an old Wang with the surname Lin!"
