Chapter 22: Killing the Chicken Without Laughter, Eating the Chicken with Laughter

The firewood on the stove was burning fiercely, and this news seemed to add fuel to the fire. Xia Mimi put the chicken heads, chicken feet and chicken offal together to marinate. Hearing these two sentences, she couldn't help but chop the chicken with a loud noise. Oh my God, it comes, and my family is not unhappy yet, so why are they unhappy?

The Ji family had never been so humiliated before, yet they dared to be dissatisfied with their future son-in-law. You have to know that the son-in-law was prepared to accept such a situation without even saying a word! Not to mention that Li Xiaoxiao from the Qin family is now her best friend, and the two of them often do small business to make money!

That was a wooden chopping board. Wangshu:... "Hey, be gentle..." Her head was buzzing and the chopping board was about to fly up, "Don't chop the wood mud into it." It would dirty her chicken soup.

He wrapped the last piece of braised meat and gave it to Monkey. "Come to my place tomorrow. I have a job for you to do."

"Okay, okay, thank you Miss Shushu!" Monkey smiled happily. This piece of braised meat could not be bought with two copper coins. It was worth his trip today!

He scooped up a scoop of boiled porridge, watched the heat, and poured all the marinated chicken offal into the porridge. He then put the chopped braised meat into six plates and prepared five dipping sauces. The vinegar and garlic tasted a bit strong, so Wangshu washed his hands for a long time.

After looking at the braised chicken with white radish, he said, "I'm almost done. Tender chicken and tender radish, but they can't burn firewood." He then moved the fire to the side. He wiped his sweat from his hands and saw Wangshu sweating as well. He felt very distressed. "Shushu, wipe the sweat off quickly. Don't absorb it. Go borrow a table and chairs." He also had to go to the steward in the alley to tell him about it. If any family needed tables and chairs when they had guests, they would go to his house to borrow them.

Wangshu cut the chicken blood into small pieces and poured it all in. The porridge pot began to turn off the heat. Taotao turned the heat over and prepared to make a pot of thick Persian vegetable meatball and chicken soup.

Taotao quickly sliced ​​the meatballs, "Sister Shushu, do you really want to cut them all?"

I can’t bear to do that. It’s been a long time since the house was completely emptied. Looking at Wangshu beating eggs, my heart was bleeding, “Chickens, chickens, do you have to beat them all...?” He only picked up five or six a day!

There was no other way, so I sent the crying person away, "Taotao, why don't you go help Hao Hao move the tables and chairs and wipe the chairs..."

One person kept cutting the meat slices, pouring them into boiling water, adding oil and salt, emptying the egg stock and stirring them, then pouring a basket of cut Persian vegetables into the soup and stirring them, adding flour to the stirred egg liquid to thicken it, holding a large bowl with both hands and adding the egg liquid in a linear circle into the soup. In fact, it would be more accurate to call it a meat, chicken and Persian vegetable soup, which is very filling and the soup is thick.

Kitchen work is really hard, with all the oil and smoke. Whoever does the housework gets angry. If she doesn't chop the meat, the nanny will chop it until the blood, foam, and bones are broken and splatter all over her, leaving a mixed smell.

There was a commotion outside, and men and women were coming from far away. Wangshu turned on the fire to boil a pot of water. As soon as she came out, she saw a group of people rushing in. Except for her parents who were smiling and Qin Xiuyuan who was usually expressionless, a large group of people looked at her.

She was so tired that she could hardly lift her right arm, and her right index finger was sore from being rubbed by the kitchen knife. Looking at the people who came into the house with various bamboo boxes and bags, the expression on her face could not get better.

...I didn't go to the inn, so why did you move all your things into the yard...

"This must be my granddaughter who has a miserable life and a weak body. Come here and let grandma see you. You have grown up so big in the blink of an eye!" The wife, who was surrounded by her son and daughter-in-law, waved to Wangshu and motioned her to come over.

Wangshu naturally ignored this cat-teasing-dog gesture. She was an ordinary old lady, wearing a dark-colored padded jacket and a headband. She must have been crying for a long time, with a handkerchief in her hand all the time and her eyes a little cloudy.

The two uncles must have been pampered for years, with potbellies and a much more prosperous appearance than his father. The two aunts were even thinner than his mother and looked a bit miserable, probably not very happy all year round. The remaining young men and women were probably her cousins, and their wives...

They all look pretty good.

"Dad and Mom, dinner is almost ready. Let's wash our faces and have a simple meal."

Let's go after we finish eating. Wangshu ordered, "Qin Xiuyuan, come here." He led him back and said, "Take this pot of porridge out."

It's a big pot full, and he is the only one who can do this heavy work.

She boiled hot water and prepared towels for everyone to wash up. Taotao hurriedly set up the tables and chairs in the yard. Wangshu went back and forth several times, bringing bowls and chopsticks and setting out the dishes. Qin Xiuyuan brought out the soup pot and scooped out chicken porridge one by one. There were two plates of braised meat, two plates of braised chicken with radish, and a large plate of Persian vegetable soup with chicken meatballs for each table. The porridge pot was full and everyone could eat as much as they wanted.

"This child, why didn't he call anyone!" Old Mrs. Ji was a little dissatisfied. Everyone was starving, but she still muttered something before she started eating.

"Everyone, let's eat." Ji's father and mother didn't forget to take care of their daughter who was sitting at the same table with her cousins, their wives and their children. "Shushu, eat some porridge quickly to fill your stomach. You must have worked hard this afternoon and you are tired." They also instructed Qin Xiuyuan who was sitting next to her, "Please help uncle take care of Wangshu."

Father Ji: ...my daughter has never eaten at a separate table from him...

Ji’s mother: She must be very tired from preparing several tables of food. I need to massage her shoulders and back tonight.

The couple sat down at the table and the sister-in-law's table respectively. From time to time, they looked longingly at their daughter at the neighboring table from both sides. Qin Xiuyuan nodded to both of them to reassure them.

"Mother-in-law, eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and all my nephews and nieces, these braised meats were prepared early this morning. The meatballs are made by ourselves, and the chickens are raised by ourselves. These vegetables are also grown by the side of the yard, and the eggs are laid by our own chickens. We have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. Our family of three has always made do with what we have. Please don't be disgusted by these simple meals and home-cooked snacks."

Ji's mother said a few words humbly, saying that according to custom, people should not be polite when coming and going, and you are too polite. After exchanging pleasantries, she started to pick up her chopsticks.

Wangshu held the spoon and ate the tender and smooth chicken blood in small mouthfuls. She specially asked the man who delivered it to her door to carry a bowl full of chicken blood for her. She could drink three bowls of the chicken porridge she cooked with her eyes closed.

"Sister Shushu, I'm Ji Wangyue." The pretty girl beside her introduced herself. "Did you make this chicken porridge? It's warming and a little sweet. I've never tasted porridge so delicious."

Wangshu glanced at her and nodded, "Yes, you should eat more. Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."

Qin Xiuyuan: ...When dealing with people I don’t like, I don’t talk at all when I eat or sleep, but on ordinary days, I would chatter and praise them non-stop while eating a steamed bun.

The two chopsticks of chicken placed on her plate were rejected, "You eat it." He also didn't want the braised meat, and took her empty bowl to serve porridge.

Wangshu was not polite to him. He fanned the air with his little hands and winked at him, "More..."

Wangshu, who had never been picky about dishes or porridge in her life, silently filled a bowl with chicken blood cubes. She was very happy. She blew on the chicken blood porridge with a spoon, and it made a gurgling sound. She had an idea in her heart that would definitely make Taotao cry: she wanted to drink chicken blood porridge again tomorrow.

After eating and drinking their fill, they started chatting about family matters. Hehehe and Taotao quickly cleared away the leftovers. "Mom, they ate so much..." The braised pork plate was almost empty, and there wasn't much chicken left. There were a few bowls of chicken porridge left, and only a small portion of the soup was left. The two of them ate with the leftover porridge and meat, "This chicken porridge tastes so good!"

"Then will you cry next time we kill the chicken? You're such a loser! You're the one crying, and you're the one eating three bowls of food..."

Taotao felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head, "I killed three of them at once..."

Aiai felt distressed and urged: "Let's finish eating quickly. There will definitely be a quarrel outside soon. We have to go out and calm the situation..."

"What if they really don't leave?"

"There's no room at home, so I have to leave."

Besides, Wangshu is very opinionated. If she doesn't like something, she doesn't like it. No matter how much she says, she just doesn't agree. She has never seen Ji's father and mother being able to defeat her. She is not even afraid of her future son-in-law. She will give him a word or an order, and if his son-in-law says he doesn't want to eat it, he won't eat it. In front of so many elders, his son-in-law will take it back and eat it himself.

Wangshu didn't want to talk to her cousin, nor did she want to pay attention to her cousin's wife who sat at the same table with her, and she didn't want to pay any attention to the three-year-old kid. She kept finding topics to ask Xiuyuan, as if she was so close to him that she couldn't care less about other people.

"Have you got the saddle for your horse?"

"It's ready, right outside the door. Do you want to go take a look?"

Wangshu wanted to push him out of the door, and it turned out to be Tang Bo guarding two horses and an old donkey.

"Uncle Tang, you're here! Qin Xiuyuan, why didn't you tell me?" Wangshu glared at him and called out to Yiyi. "Hurry up and take Uncle Tang to eat something. Make another bowl of noodles."

Hehe quickly ushered the person in, "Oh my God, we were so careless. Uncle Tang, please come quickly and have something to eat. We were so busy that we didn't even notice you were outside..."

Tang Bo was flattered, "As an old man, I can't bear such a generous gift..."

After walking around Qin Xiuyuan's tall horse twice, he touched it and said, "This saddle is well made. It's better to spend some time to make it custom-made."

The brown horse was led by its owner and was very docile. It allowed the hostess who paid for it to pet it. Qin Xiuyuan asked her, "Do you want to try riding it?"

"No." These past few days, her father had been teaching her horseback riding since he came back from work, and her inner thighs were a little bruised. If a large group of people hadn't come today, she would still be lying in bed.
