Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Eating Spicy Diced Rabbit Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Eating Spicy Diced Rabbit Daya had failed to stop her, and after they had finished eating and cleaned up, she went to look for Zhao Xi.
The latter was in the room preparing medicine, and when he saw her enter, he looked surprised for a moment, “Do you need something from me?”
“Um, I, I want to ask you for a favor.”
Zhao Xi asked her to sit for a while, and he also put down what was in his hands, took a couple of sips of water, and said, “Tell me, as long as it’s within my power, I’ll make sure it’s done for you.”
Daya lowered her head and shared her thoughts.
The more Zhao Xi heard, the more surprised he became, and his look at Daya began to change.
Who would have thought that the girl he considered to be weak had such a fierce side?
Zhao Xi nodded in agreement, and only then did Daya leave the room.
The old lady gave her an odd look, as if she had something to say but ultimately did not.
In the afternoon, Shu Yu returned, and though she was a bit later than the day before, the game they had hunted was even bigger.
Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue had managed to take down a big wild boar; although both were rather strong, it took great effort to carry such a beast back.
They huffed and puffed, stopping frequently, nearly exhausting themselves to death.
By the time they got the wild boar to the Manor, the officers looked at them with an even more intricately complex gaze.
Afterward, they gave each one a wild hare.
Fang Xiyue, with hare in hand, hurried back home. These past two days had brought her such a bounty that she decided not to eat this one, but to exchange it for some necessary household items instead.
Especially since her father needed to recuperate, and needed good, nutritious food, she planned to exchange it for some rice and flour.
Actually, the Lu family had plenty of good things.
But Fang Xiyue felt that exchanging with the Lu family meant taking advantage of them, for the Lu family gave out fine rice and flour in large quantities. And since her family had already gotten a wild hare, there was no need to exchange for another.
So, Fang Xiyue found another family in the village who was keen on wild hare, and exchanged it for some daily necessities.
Seeing that she had plans, Shu Yu decided not to interfere further.
As Shu Yu entered the house with the wild hare, Daya gave her a tight hug.
Shu Yu was stunned for a moment, with the hare dropping to the ground, as she patted Daya’s back, “What’s wrong, sis?”
Daya, afraid that Shu Yu would sense something was off, quickly released her, “It’s nothing, my eyelids have been twitching, and I keep feeling like something might happen. I was worried that you might encounter danger in the mountains. Seeing you return safely, I’m relieved.”
Hearing this, Shu Yu didn’t feel it was right to mention that she had gone deep into the mountains and hunted a wild boar; instead, she bent down to pick up the hare and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Doctor Zhao gave me plenty of medicine; even if I encounter a ferocious and evil big game, I can drug it.”
Daya smiled and said nothing.
Shu Yu then handed over the hare, “Tonight, we’ll have spicy diced rabbit. I’ll cook it for you; it’ll be delicious for sure.”
Just at the mention of the word “delicious,” you knew it was going to be irresistible.
Sanya, with her sharp ears, heard and ran over, “Second sis, let me help you. I can… I can pluck the rabbit’s fur.”
Shu Yu gently scratched her nose, “You don’t need to pluck it; it’s not a chicken.”
Rabbit fur could be made into gloves; how could they possibly pluck out the fur?
Shu Yu, holding Sanya’s hand, explained the recipe for the spicy diced rabbit, making Sanya drool with anticipation as they headed to the kitchen.
Daya, standing in the back, watched their retreating figures and finally broke into a smile.
