Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Qin An Ning didn't understand this and couldn't help but ask Fu Wan in a low voice.

"Awan, why does wild boar have less suet?"

"Oh, because wild boars eat a wider variety of foods and move around a lot, while domestic pigs eat and sleep when they're full, and they don't have to find food themselves, so they definitely have more oil."

So that's how it is. Qin An Ning nodded. Chicken feathers are much easier to pluck than duck feathers. After boiling them in boiling water, the conspicuous feathers can be plucked out in less than five minutes.

After replacing the clean water that Qin An Ning brought, she and Fu Wan also plucked the feathers off the chicken.

After removing the chicken feathers, it can be seen more clearly that the chicken's wings are indeed seriously injured. The entire wing is blue and purple, especially the base of the wing, which is purple and black.

I don't know how he got injured so badly.

Fu Wan was muttering to herself when Li Chunhua went to the cabinet in the main house to get spices. Seeing the bruises on the chicken, she couldn't help but mutter.

"Oh, no wonder the chickens didn't eat much when I went to feed them yesterday. If I had known, I would have killed them earlier. They've become so skinny from starvation!"

Hearing this, Ye Lin looked up and said with a smile: "Mom, please stop it. If Awan and the others hadn't come here today, you would definitely not kill me until New Year's Eve!"

"You talk too much!"

Li Chunhua glared at her eldest son and asked him what nonsense he was talking about. He just loved his niece, so what?

Her niece was so nice. She brought her a piece of beautiful cloth and gave her venison. And the crabs and other delicacies were even better. She, a mountain girl, was almost tired of eating them.

"Hey, you little brat, you're jealous of Awan and the others, you won't have any venison to eat later!"

"What, there's also venison? Oh, mother, I was wrong. I was just trying to make conversation!"

Ye Lin slid down to his knees in a hurry, and winked at Fu Wan and the others.

Fu Wan knew Ye Lin's character very well, so she burst into laughter.

It was the same in the past. Whenever they were discovered playing in the mountains, Ye Lin would be scolded. After being scolded, Ye Lin would secretly wink at them.

No matter how much I get scolded, I will go up the mountain again next time.

But Ye Lin was not stupid. He usually took his younger brothers and sisters to catch rabbits and pheasants, or set traps to catch sparrows. He would never go into the mountains.

Fu Wan is the only girl among the two children, so Li Chunhua naturally favors her more.

A few people prepared the dishes with laughter. Ye Jianguo rolled up his sleeves and chopped the chicken first.

This chicken has only been raised for a few months, so there isn't much meat on it, but despite its small size, it has all the necessary organs, so all the offal should be kept.

Stir-frying it with some chili peppers makes it a great dish to go with rice or wine.

Fu Wan originally wanted to help clean up the chicken offal, but was pulled aside by Ye Lin.

"Awan, go play over there. This thing is dirty. Let me do it!"

After saying that, he conveniently washed and took out the chicken hearts and livers in the basin, and then began to clean the chicken intestines and gizzards.

When the chicken gizzards were cut open, there were some undigested small stones and dirt inside. Ye Jun rinsed them with water and quickly peeled off the yellow skin on top.

This is chicken gizzard lining, which is dried and is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its main function is to treat indigestion in children and to replenish qi and blood.

Most people are reluctant to throw away this thing after killing a chicken. Although ordinary people rarely kill chickens, Ye Jun's family can hunt, and pheasants also have this thing.

So a lot of chicken gizzards were dried on the windowsill at home. Li Chunhua kept some for herself, and took the better quality ones to the old Chinese doctor in the village to exchange for money.

The ingredients for lunch were all prepared, and Ye Jianguo rolled up his sleeves and started cooking.

Fu Wan and Fu Ming watched outside the kitchen door until the aroma of the food in the pot wafted out. The brother and sister couldn't help but smack their lips in amazement. Their uncle was actually serious about it. He really knew how to cook!

Ye Lin washed the dishes and brought them out. Seeing the expressions on Fu Wan and Fu Ming's faces, he thought something was wrong with them.

Hearing Fu Ming muttering that his uncle could actually cook, Ye Lin sighed. Not only could his father cook, he was pretty good at it!

Back then, if he hadn’t been a good cook, Li Chunhua wouldn’t have looked down on him.

However, after the old man got married, he was busy making money outside, so Li Chunhua never let him cook. Therefore, Ye Jianguo rarely entered the kitchen throughout the year.

Occasionally, when Li Chunhua was too busy, he would go in and lend a hand.

"Okay, bring out the food and call the kids to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin stood in the yard and shouted loudly, "Xiao Feng, Zhenxing, bring Lingling Pearl back for dinner!"

The village is so small and the children have sharp ears. Soon they heard the sound of chaotic running outside.

Immediately afterwards, the courtyard gate was pushed open and Ye Zhenxing walked in with a few young boys.

"Mom, look what we caught!"

Fu Ling waved excitedly at Fu Wan, motioning her to look at what he had in his hand.

"Oh, where did the sparrow come from?"

"Brother Zhenxing brought us this. Mom, can I take this back to Xiao Huang to eat?"

Fu Wan couldn't help but be stunned. Xiao Huang hadn't come back for a while. It was so cold in winter, and she might have flown somewhere to spend the winter.

Thinking so, she told the child the same thing.

"Xiao Huang may have gone far away and will come back in the spring.

I’m afraid you, little sparrow, won’t live to see that day.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenxing next to him immediately became excited.

"Look, Xiao Huang isn't home. Lingling, let's roast the sparrows after dinner. Roasted sparrows are delicious!"

After much difficulty, two sparrows were caught. One of them ran away because Xiao Feng didn't hold it firmly, and the other one was caught by Fu Ling with his quick eyes and hands.

Ye Zhenxing was ready to go back and steal the seasonings for roasting sparrows, but Lingling refused to give them and insisted on taking them back for Xiao Huang to eat.

Ye Zhenxing had seen Xiao Huang when he went to Fujia Village before, and he also liked such a handsome bird.

But he also likes it a little bit. In comparison, he still prefers the roasted sparrows that he can eat.

A few children were arguing, and when Ye Lin shouted, everyone ran back.

When he heard that Xiao Huang was not at home, Ye Zhenxing's thoughts, which had finally calmed down, became active again.

Fu Ling didn't flinch at Fu Wan's words. She quietly moved closer to Fu Wan and said, "Mom, I know where Xiao Huang is."

"you know?"

"Yes, this is the nest we made for Xiao Huang. When we get back, I'll take you to visit Xiao Huang's home!"

Well, since the child is so excited, Fu Wan doesn’t want to be a parent who spoils the fun.

Ye Zhenxing wanted to say something, but Li Chunhua clapped his hands mercilessly.

"Hurry up and take the sisters to wash their hands. There's already a table full of food, and you're still thinking about eating roasted sparrows?"

"What, what dishes are there?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenxing looked at the table. Wow, there was stir-fried rabbit, chicken soup, crab, braised wild boar meat, and several other dishes he didn't recognize.

"Wow, it's Chinese New Year, grandma, isn't it?!"

The young man hurriedly pulled his sister to the well to wash their hands, fearing that they would not be able to eat these delicious dishes if they were a step late.
