But a lot of blood still fell on his apron. The apron was originally light blue, but now it was stained with blood.

Fortunately, he had "armed" himself fully in order to kill the ducks, wearing a tattered straw hat on his head, a thick apron on his body, and rubber gloves on his hands.

Otherwise it would be terrible. A look of relief appeared on his face and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick! Lift the duck by its feet and turn it upside down! Put it on top of the bowl!"

Fengli shouted anxiously, her eyes wide open, with anxiety in her eyes, as if two small flames were burning in them.

She took a big step forward, raising a small cloud of dust when her foot landed, and pointed in the direction of the bowl, her arm stretched straight like a taut bowstring.

Liu Tongguo hurriedly picked up the duck's feet. His arms were stretched straight like a stiff wooden stick, and he poured the duck's blood into the bowl without a drop left.

His eyes were focused as if he was carving a treasure passed down from generation to generation. He stared at the duck blood without blinking, afraid of wasting a drop, and kept muttering, "Don't spill it, don't spill it."

The voice was very soft, as if it was talking to itself, or as if it was praying.

The duck seemed to know that its end was near. It struggled hard and flapped its wings desperately, like two wildly dancing little fans, creating a small whirlwind.

Its legs kicked wildly and paddled in the air, its eyes full of fear, like a child lost in the dark.

Its struggles became weaker and weaker, its body gradually lost strength, the frequency of its wings flapping became lower and lower, and its legs were no longer kicking as vigorously.

It was not until the last drop of blood had flowed out that it became completely motionless, and its entire body drooped limply like a deflated ball.

"Put the duck aside. I'll go get some hot water! Pluck it!"

As Fengli spoke, he turned around and ran into the house with big strides. His footsteps were as rapid as drumbeats, making a "dong dong dong" sound and raising a small cloud of dust.

Her figure quickly disappeared at the gate of the yard, leaving only a series of footsteps gradually fading away.

Liu Tongguo put the duck aside and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.

As he wiped it, a wet mark immediately appeared on his sleeve, and sweat seeped through the fabric. He sighed deeply, and the sigh seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, carrying endless fatigue.

His shoulders rose and fell with his sighs, like an old suspension bridge swaying in the wind. "It's not easy to kill a duck! It's much harder than I thought."

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly, and the straw hat on his head swayed, and the shadow under the brim of the hat covered part of his face.

After a while, Fengli came down with a large basin and a kettle.

The big basin was a red plastic basin with thick walls and an old color. There was still some traces of time left on it. The water in the kettle was still steaming, like a white mushroom cloud, lingering around the pineapple.

The heat blurred Fengli's face, and her face became red as if she had been covered with a thick layer of rouge.

Some beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, slid down her cheeks, dripped onto the ground, and disappeared in an instant.

"Hurry! Put the duck into the basin!" Fengli shouted breathlessly, her voice a little hoarse, like the sound of an old bellows.

Her chest rose and fell with her breathing, like waves in the sea, and every rise and fall brought a hint of fatigue.

Liu Tongguo hurriedly put the duck into the basin, staring at the basin with a hint of anticipation, waiting for Feng Li's next instruction. He wiped his hands on his apron, making the blood stains on the apron even more blurred.

Fengli quickly put on a pair of thick rubber gloves. The gloves were yellow and looked like two big claws. The surface of the gloves was a bit rough and had some anti-slip patterns on them.

She struggled to pull the gloves into place, flexing her fingers a few times to make sure they were secure.

Every time I move my fingers, the gloves make a squeaking sound, as if in protest.

She carefully poured the boiling water slowly into the basin. The sound of the hot water flowing into the basin was like a rushing stream.

The steaming hot vapor spread out instantly, as if covering the basin with a layer of white gauze, or like a mysterious fairyland.

The water vapor, with its scorching temperature, spread out in all directions, and the silhouette of the pineapple was looming in the water vapor.

Then, she held the duck's feet tightly in her gloved hands and carefully scalded the duck all over, her movements as skillful as a professional butcher.

Her eyes were focused, her brows were slightly furrowed, her lips were tightly closed, and she was concentrating on the operation, not missing any corner of the duck.

Her hands moved over the duck like a dancer on stage, each movement precise and graceful.

The two of them quickly pulled out the duck feathers, and the duck feathers fell like snowflakes, swirling in the air, like a group of white elves playing.

Feng Li and Liu Tongguo's hands were covered with duck feathers. The duck feathers were so light that some of them even got into their nostrils, making them sneeze uncontrollably.

From time to time, they blew away the duck feathers that floated in front of them. The breath was slightly warm and formed a small ball of white mist in the cold air.

Then, they began to prepare to cut open the belly. Feng Li picked up the knife, his eyes determined, like a soldier about to go to the battle, ready to take action.

"You can actually go out and spend some money to have it slaughtered! But this duck is raised by us, it's all natural! Its whole body is a treasure!"

"The duck blood, duck liver, duck gizzards, and intestines can be used to make a delicious and nutritious soup. Whether the duck meat is made into salted duck or braised duck, it tastes great!"

As Fengli spoke, her eyes sparkled and were full of anticipation, as if she had already seen the delicious dishes placed in front of her.

A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the smile became more and more intense, like a flower blooming in spring.

"That's great! We are in for a treat! Hehe!" Liu Tongguo smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, revealing his incomplete teeth, which were a little yellow and uneven. His saliva was almost flowing out, and a small drop of shiny liquid formed at the corner of his mouth. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, which was full of duck feathers, and his face was also covered with duck feathers after wiping.

He seemed to have smelled the aroma of duck meat. His eyes narrowed into slits and a happy smile filled his face. That smile was like the sun in winter, warm and bright.
