Chapter 685 Stewed Soup
Zhang Zi'an and Lu Yiyun's eyes were all focused on the bucket in Xiaoxue's hand.
"Do you have crucian carp? Fresh?" he asked suspiciously.
"Hmm!" Xiaoxue nodded proudly, "Super~fresh! I just caught it!"
Zhang Zian took the bucket from her hand, opened the lid and saw that it was indeed a huge crucian carp, which had not yet died completely, and was so fresh that it could not be fresh.
"Awesome! I've really helped me. I was so worried before!" He felt like he had a treasure, so he quickly covered the lid to prevent the fish from jumping out, and asked, "Xiaoxue, you still know how to fish? You really deserve to be an outdoor anchor."
"Where, I don't have that patience. I'm fishing for an elder. I'm going to come over." Xiaoxue waved her hands repeatedly and clarified, "He is still fishing now. If you need more, you can send it to you."
Zhang Zian thought about it, "Today is the first day of the lunar calendar. Before the third day of the lunar calendar, even before the fifth day of the lunar calendar, fish sellers in the vegetable market should not be able to set up stalls... So maybe I really want to trouble you Xiaoxue."
"It's okay, I'm very happy to be able to help." Xiaoxue smiled, "Standard, you don't have to be polite. Go and stew the soup quickly. The little cats are still waiting to eat milk, right?"
They were also familiar with each other. Zhang Zi'an asked Lu Yiyun to play with Xiaoxue, and took the fish to the second floor by himself, and then made soup over low heat after a little treatment.
Anyway, there were no customers, so Lu Yiyun took Xiaoxue to see the little cat.
"Wow! So cute!"
Xiaoxue exclaimed as soon as she saw 11 little cats snuggling beside the female cat.
The delivery room where the two female cats are located is adjacent. She looked here and there, and the more she looked at it, the more cute she felt.
It takes time to stew fish soup, and female cats will not be able to milk immediately after drinking the fish soup. Lu Yiyun, as Zhang Zi'an's instructions, boiled hot water, brewed goat milk powder, and added children's vitamins and calcium gluconate oral solution, and then let it cool down naturally. When it cooled to 40 degrees, she sucked a tube of milk with a straw and picked up the thinner little cat and fed it one by one.
"Can I try it too?" Xiaoxue hoped earnestly.
"Yes." After Lu Yiyun fed one, she handed the straw to Xiaoxue and taught her how to feed it.
Xiaoxue picked up a little cat and said, "Good, Sister Xiaoxue is feeding you a meal!"
The female cat was not very familiar with Xiaoxue, so she stood up from the nest and looked at her with caution, as if she could snatch the little cat from her at any time.
However, its breasts were already sucked and hurt by the cubs, but it still couldn't provide enough milk.
The other little cats who had no eyes lost their traces of their mother and screamed even more happily.
Seeing that Xiaoxue had no intention of harming the cub, it lay back with a little confidence and let the cubs continue to suck their painful chests.
Lu Yiyun corrected Xiaoxue's wrong posture and said: "Xiaoxue, you haven't fed the little cat with milk, right? Don't let it tilt, let it lie down, hold its belly with its hands and raise its head slightly, otherwise it will choke."
Xiaoxue acts as she says.
"Also, just drop one drop on its tongue at a time, don't be too much." Lu Yiyun reminded again.
This is like fishing, and it is a very wear-resistant job. Each of the 11 little cats needs to be fed drop by drop. People who are not able to endure will soon feel bored.
Time passed by minute by minute. Although Xiaoxue was not resistant to fishing, she was very attentive to feed the little cats and was not annoyed at all. She even asked: "I think it's good to feed one by one like this. She also added children's vitamins and calcium gluconate, which are very nutritious. Why do you have to use crucian carp soup to make milk?"
"It's very simple, because kittens are better off eating their mother's milk. Kittens that rely entirely on artificial feeding have a higher premature death rate, and even if they grow up, they will be thinner than cats of the same age."
Zhang Zi'an wore insulated gloves for barbecue and came over with a pot of warm crucian carp soup. The soup made with goat milk powder was tempting and milky white. Two pieces of crucian carp were vaguely visible in the soup. Although it had a slight fishy smell due to the lack of extra seasoning, it was very suitable for cats to eat.
"Oh, so that's it." Xiaoxue understood.
The two female cats eat canned fish every day, but after all, the soup made of fresh crucian carp is even more delicious. They come out of the nest, lower their heads and sip the crucian carp soup, and eat the tender fish into their stomachs.
"In addition, the little cats need to be fed every 3 hours within two weeks. If 11 cats are fed by manual feeding, then the person should not do anything else. Feed the cats here all day long." Zhang Zian said.
After Xiaoxue finished feeding one, she was about to put it down. Zhang Zi'an pointed to a tissue and reminded: "Wipe its mouth clean, then gently pat it and massage the side."
She rubbed the side of the little cat for no reason. After a moment, it opened its mouth and burped with a milky scent.
"You have to burp out after feeding, otherwise it will bloat like a human baby," he explained.
"Oh." Xiaoxue then realized it.
The two female cats quickly ate the crucian carp and even drank a lot of soup. One of them ran to the cat litter in the corner of the wall to defecate, and then returned to the cat's nest after defecation.
When Lu Yiyun saw that Xiaoxue was responsible for feeding the little cat, she had nothing to do for the time being, so she picked up the cat litter box and went out to change the cat litter.
After a while, she came back with the cat litter box in panic, and the cat litter inside was still the same.
"Sir, no...not good!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Zi'an asked.
"This cat seems to have diarrhea!" Lu Yiyun anxiously pointed at the feces buried in the cat litter for Zhang Zi'an to see.
Zhang Zi'an took a look and comforted him: "Don't worry, this is not diarrhea, it's just soft stool. Most female cats do this when raising kittens, please take a closer look."
He pointed at one of the female cats and asked Lu Yiyun and Xiaoxue to pay attention to observation.
The female cat even licked the puppies' excretion organs when they licked their hair from beginning to end.
The puppies are stimulated, and their excretion organs are slightly swelling, and urine and feces are squeezed out from it.
The female cat did not hesitate to eat the urine and feces excreted from the pups in one bite, and then licked the other pups in the same way, eating the excrement of each pups into her stomach.
Xiaoxue: "...I thought only dogs could eat...eat...eat shit..."
She was too shocked and stuttered when she spoke. She thought of Snowball worriedly. If Snowball ate her own shit and kissed her, it would be a little...disgusting.
It was the first time Lu Yiyun saw this situation, and she also thought of the Jasmine she raised...
"This is a special situation in a special period." Zhang Zi'an smiled. "When the little cat is born, it will not defecate independently. The female cat needs to stimulate it to defecate, otherwise it will be suffocated to death. After the female cat eats the little cat's excrement, it will discharge soft stools by itself. It will be fine after this period, don't worry."
"Okay." Xiaoxue and Lu Yiyun both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
