Chapter 159: Killing Chickens
Jinxiu entered the toilet, closed the toilet door tightly, and then dodged into the space, ran to the ginseng bushes that grew like weeds, and pulled one out casually. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She didn't know how to look at the quality of ginseng, but seeing that this ginseng was so thick, she didn't have to think about it to know how valuable it was. I felt a little sorry for Wang Tingting, such a valuable thing, Wang Tingting had never bothered with her.
After packing up the ginseng, Jinxiu immediately went out of the space.
There is no way to eat ginseng alone, Jinxiu planned to go to the market to see if there were any live chickens for sale, so he said: "Auntie, I'll go buy some meat, you and Sister Xiaoxiao are waiting for me at home, and I'll be back in a while." ā
Zhang Zhaodi hurriedly stopped: "What kind of meat to buy, just eat it together, don't spend money indiscriminately." ā
Jinxiu smiled: "I'm greedy, I want to eat meat." Auntie, you wait for me. With that, Jinxiu was about to go out.
Liang Xiao hurriedly said: "Bring lightning." ā
Jinxiu turned around, called the lightning, and went out together.
At this time, you have to go to the government-run vegetable market to buy vegetables and meat, and all the things sold in it belong to the government, and the salesmen who sell vegetables in it are also arranged by the government. The vegetable market is a little far from the courtyard, and you have to walk for about 20 minutes.
Jinxiu trotted all the way to the vegetable market with lightning, passing the post office on the way. Jinxiu let Lightning sit at the door of the post office, went in by himself, and leaned on the windowsill and asked, "Comrade, are there any monkey tickets?"
Sitting in the windowsill was still the same man that day, and when he looked up and saw that it was Jinxiu, he laughed: "You girl is so funny, why did you come to buy stamps again? Have you used up all the stamps you bought a few days ago?"
Jinxiu pretended to scratch her head shyly: "I like the stamp so much that I even hold it when I sleep, but it turns out to be ......"
The man couldn't hold back, he laughed out loud, and when he saw Jinxiu lowering his head, he quickly held back his laughter when she was thin-skinned, and said, "Then how much are you going to buy this time?"
Jinxiu took out a handful of money from his pocket and put it on the counter: "I want four editions." ā
"Four editions?" the man persuaded, "I said, little girl, this stamp can't be eaten as a meal, and you just don't buy it like it anymore." ā
Jinxiu shook her head and said willfully: "I just like it, you give it to me quickly." ā
The man smiled and shook his head, and no longer persuaded him, after all, he had nothing to do with Jinxiu, and people were willing to spend money on this useless stamp, and it had nothing to do with him, could he manage it?
Jinxiu picked up the monkey ticket, smiled and said thank you, then turned around and walked out of the gate of the post office, called the lightning and went to the market.
Fuping County is a small place, the scale of the market is not large, a few stalls selling meat, more than a dozen stalls selling vegetables, and a few stalls selling some chickens, ducks, goose eggs, and dried vegetables, which is the whole market.
The splendid came too late, the vegetable stalls were already sold out, and there was only a little leftover meat left on the meat stalls. There are still a lot of chickens and ducks on the live poultry stalls, after all, the price of a chicken and duck is much more expensive than buying a pound of meat, and few people are generally willing to buy it.
spent three yuan to buy a fat old hen, and Jinxiu carried the chicken and led the lightning home.
Thinking that there was less than two hundred yuan left in her pocket, Jinxiu sighed, if she didn't want to make money, what would she use to buy monkey tickets?
When Jinxiu arrived home, several members of the Gu family had already returned, Jiang Shan was busy cooking in the stove room, He Jiao was working on the side, Gu Yuanchao was reading the newspaper in the living room, and Gu Xiaowu didn't see anyone.
Liang Xiao and Zhang Zhaodi were talking in the room.
Put the old hen on the ground, enter the stove and steam the rice. He turned around and took a kitchen knife, and took another bowl with half a bowl of water. When I went to the yard, I grabbed the chicken with my left hand, fixed the head of the chicken, then ripped off the hair on the chicken's neck, held the knife in my right hand, and went down with a knife, and the red chicken blood flowed down and dripped into the bowl that was not contained. The old hen struggled a few times, and then stopped moving.
Jinxiu threw the dead chicken on the ground, picked up the bowl and turned around to enter the stove room, and saw He Jiao standing aside with a pale face, looking at her and the bowl with chicken blood in her hand and the kitchen knife with blood hanging on it.
Ignoring He Jiao, who looked frightened, Jinxiu took her things and went to the stove room by herself. When passing by He Jiao's side, He Jiao covered her chest and hurriedly took a few steps back. I don't know if I'm afraid of Jinxiu, or if I'm afraid of what Jinxiu has in his hands.
Jinxiu glanced at He Jiao funny, and then shook her head in her heart, can such a delicate eldest lady really get together with Gu Nianhua? Gu Nianhua is a soldier, can He Jiao's eldest lady really deserve to be a military wife?
After boiling water in the stove room, Jinxiu took a basin and filled it with hot water, threw the chicken in and scalded it, and then began to pluck and disembowel it neatly, and after a while, the chicken was cleaned up.
Take it to the stove room, boil water in a pot, and chop the chicken into several large pieces quickly, and when the water boils, throw the chicken pieces in and blanch them, and scoop them up. I took the enamel pot again, put the chicken pieces in it, patted a piece of ginger, put a few red dates, and then carried Jiang Shan, who was also cooking in the stove room, and cut off the ginseng that had been cleaned up, added boiling water, covered it and stewed it slowly.
While stewing the chicken soup, Jinxiu cut the cleaned chicken offal, found chili peppers, made a few garlic sprouts and shallots cut together, patted the ginger, and put it in a bowl.
The fragrance wafted from the enamel pot very quickly.
Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment when she smelled the smell of chicken soup on the side, how could she seem to smell the smell of ginseng. took a closer look at the enamel pot, and then smiled, how could you afford to eat ginseng under such conditions as Jinxiu?
When the chicken is stewed, Jinxiu adds some salt to it, tastes the taste, and thinks it is delicious. Satisfied, he took down the enamel pot and put it aside, put the pot on the shelf, stir-fried the chicken mixed with the chopped garlic sprouts, peppers, shallots, and took a handful of spinach and stir-fried, and the rice was ready.
"Auntie, it's time to eat. ā
Jinxiu set up a small table in the stove room, put chicken soup, chicken offal, and spinach on the table, turned around and went to the house to call Zhang Zhaodi and Liang Xiao.
Zhang Zhaodi talked to Liang Xiao in the house and forgot the time, but she didn't think that Jinxiu had cooked all the food.
The three of them sat down in the stove room, and the enamel pot was unveiled, and the aroma came to their faces.
"It's so fragrant!" Liang Xiao's saliva was about to flow out.
Zhang Zhaodi said, "Why did you buy chickens this girl? How much does it cost?"
Jinxiu smiled and shook her head: "Auntie, don't worry about money, I'm at work now, and I get paid, so you can eat with peace of mind." In the future, when I earn more money, I will let you eat well every day. As he spoke, he helped Zhang Zhaodi serve a bowl of chicken soup, and specially served the ginseng to Zhang Zhaodi.
Zhang Zhaodi held the bowl, and her eyes turned red: "You girl, why do you lie to me and say that Xiaoxiao doesn't need money to learn tailoring? If Liang Xiao doesn't tell me, do you still plan to hide it from me all the time? Why do you say you have such a big idea? How can you afford so much money?"
Jinxiu glared at Liang Xiao, turned her head to Zhang Zhaodi and said, "Auntie, don't think so much, as long as Sister Xiaoxiao can learn skills, it will be worth everything." Drink the soup quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold. ā
