Chapter 12: The Bloody Killing of Chickens

Xiao Han returned to the kitchen and cooked sweet potato porridge - no way, the rice bowl at home was almost bottoming out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, Lixia and Chen also came to the kitchen. Xiao Han was very happy, and hurriedly told his brother how to wash the pig's water: first turn the intestines over and pick up all the oil and dirt inside. Then put more salt, rub it a few times, then wash it with vinegar rice water, and finally rinse it with water, so that there is no peculiar smell when it comes out.

Lixia listened, nodded his head to show understanding, and took the basin out to clean it without mentioning it.

Here Xiao Han asked Chen to chop the big bones again, put them in the pot and boil them, and went outside to get two radishes, cut them into large pieces and put them in the pot to stew with the ribs.

He Mu put down the firewood and came over from home, and Xiao Han unceremoniously ordered him to kill the chickens - because he didn't dare to kill them.

I saw Xiao Han grasping the leg of the chicken with one hand and the wings with the other, He Mu grabbed the head of the chicken, plucked the hair on the neck, cut it with a knife, cut it lightly and heavily, cut the throat, and then took a bowl filled with half a bowl of water to catch the chicken blood - this can make the chicken blood clot. The chicken struggled hard, flapping its wings and kicking its legs, trying to escape, but Xiao Han grabbed it with all his strength. Seeing this, He Mu hurriedly helped to grab the wings, and after a while, the chicken's blood ran out, and the chicken finally convulsed, its head hung down weakly, and it was completely breathless.

Xiao Han let out a long breath, although it was a little cruel, but for the sake of his five internal organs temple, he had no choice but to do so.

Then Xiao Han brought boiling water, scalded the chicken's whole body, and then began to shed its hair.

"How's my aunt doing today?" The two chatted as they worked.

"It's better, I came out at noon to bask in the sun for a while, and I cooked her food before I left, and she was able to warm it up and eat it herself. You were still mending my clothes at home. I think she's in good spirits. He Mu said with a smile.

"Don't be too tired at first, I know that my aunt is in a hurry, but if you want to hurry, you still have to take it step by step and focus on your body." Xiao Han hurriedly admonished, and He Mu nodded to indicate that he understood.

The chicken feathers have faded, and He Mu disembowels the chicken. Xiao Han taught him how to clean up chicken intestines and other miscellaneous pieces: take a chopstick and stick it into the intestine, turn it over, and then scrub it vigorously with salt several times.

He Mu cleaned up as he said, and Xiao Han collected a few beautiful long feathers on the chicken's tail, saying that he was going to make chicken feather shuttlecock. After thinking about it, she put away the other chicken feathers and prepared to scald them in boiling water and dry them to make a feather duster. This is pheasant feathers, which are much better than the feathers of domestic chickens.

He Mu looked at the girl carefully calculating these trivial matters of life, and her face with a light smile exuded a lustrous luster, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a while.

After Lixia washed the pig's water, Xiao Han prepared the green onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers, and according to the memory of his previous life, he came to a green garlic spicy fried fat sausage, stir-fried liver tip, and then put the pig heart, pig lungs and pork belly into the pot and stir-fry, add water, add some wine, soy sauce, boil and stew until the meat is crispy, and then sprinkle some coriander to make a "family portrait".

At this time, the stewed radish with large bones is also ready, and when the lid is lifted, the aroma is fragrant.

Seeing that the sky was already dark, Xiao Han hurriedly stewed the chicken pieces and potatoes that He Mu had chopped, and also made a pot of chicken offal soup.

After a busy time, the dish is almost ready. The hall was lit with lights, and Chen asked He Mu to invite his mother over to accompany the guests.

Zhang's tightly dressed came over with the support of He Mu, and after everyone met, there was a burst of greetings and greetings.

Chen set up the table and stools, and Xiao Han brought the dishes to the table. Lin Jincai took out the wine and poured it for his wife and brother, He Mu and Lixia were older, and the two were also allowed to drink some wine, and they also wanted to drink it at the spring equinox, but they were stopped by Chen's drinking, and he pouted dissatisfiedly.

The food on the table is really full of color, fragrance and taste, and a few of them are already hungry at the spring equinox and Xiaohan, and they keep swallowing saliva when they smell the aroma of the food.

Finally, when my father toasted a wine, he said, "Let's eat", and the spring equinox unceremoniously slammed the vegetables and devoured them, and they usually couldn't eat such a hearty and delicious dish.

A few adults couldn't help but laugh when they saw the children's eating.

Although the food was delicious, of course they were not good at grabbing food with the children, so they drank slowly, ate food, and chatted.

Because he was afraid that Zhang's would not be used to eating spicy dishes, Xiao Han specially made her an egg custard and vinegared cabbage, and then asked her to drink more bone broth, saying that this was nutritious.

Zhang responded with a smile, joking that she was like a housekeeper, and she would definitely be a good wife and mother in the future, I don't know who was blessed to marry, everyone laughed, and grandma Hu laughed the most.

Xiao Han was made red-faced, pretending to be angry, and buried himself in eating without squeaking.

Seeing this, Chen hurriedly diverted the topic and asked why his nephew Qingming and niece Xiaoxue didn't come over to play.

Xiao Han listened to this, and said in his heart that the cousins of the Chen family and their own children were named according to the solar terms, which was really elegant and vulgar.

Zhao said that his son was studying in a private school, and his daughter Xiaoxue was taken by her grandmother to play, and she would be sent back before the year, and talked about some interesting things about her children's study and life.

He Mu rarely saw Xiao Han's childlike attitude - during this time, she always gave people a sense of maturity when she spoke and did things. He Mu laughed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, only laughing with Lixia and the spring equinox, while secretly observing her.

Xiao Han has already taken it seriously, she can't stop eating vegetables, and sacrifice her long-lost meat temple.

After the wine and food were full, the spring equinox touched the round belly and shouted support, sat on the chair and did not want to move, and everyone ate to their heart's content.

"Today's food tastes so good, it's as good as meat. Xiao Han's skills can catch up with the chef. Especially the family photo, the name is good, so many of us are eating together today, isn't it a family photo. Grandma said with a smile, the more she looked at Xiaohan, the more satisfied she became.

"I didn't expect the pig to be so delicious, Xiaohan, how did you get it? Usually no matter how we wash it, there is a smell. Zhao was surprised to know that today's dishes were all made by Xiao Han.

Xiao Han hurriedly told her how to do it, and said that the big bone stew is very nutritious, especially for the elderly and children. Zhao Shi listened and said that he would do the same after going back, anyway, these things are very cheap, just a few pennies. In this way, you can see meat at home often.

After the meal, He Mu helped Zhang go home. Chen hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhao also went to help, Chen knew her hearty temperament and was not polite to her.

After washing, it was late at night (nine o'clock), and everyone was chatting over the fire in the hall.

Xiao Han pickled spicy cabbage in the morning, cooked a large table of meals in the afternoon, tired for a day, her eyelids couldn't stop fighting, covering her mouth and yawning for a long time, Chen saw this and let her go to bed early.

Lin Jincai, Chen Hanzhong and Lixia couldn't hold it because they drank alcohol, so Chen arranged for the three of them to sleep together in the beds of the spring equinox and Lixia.

The spring equinox was driven into Xiao Han's house, and he was very happy - his father was snoring and making noise, but his sister was still quiet here.

Hu, Chen, and Zhao are crammed into one bed, and three women play a scene. So they didn't feel sleepy and were still chatting.

Hu Shi asked in detail what happened to Xiao Han during this time, and was surprised that this child had become so powerful, smart and capable. She had an idea in her heart: although Xiao Han was still young and his body had not fully grown, he had already shown a beautiful prototype. He is also intelligent and capable, and he is a person who can start a family. Although he has been divorced now, everyone will forget about it in a few years, and when the time comes, the family will have a hundred women. It is said that "fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders", rather than cheapening other families, it is better to give it to their own grandchildren.

She thought about it in her heart, so she calmly told her daughter and daughter-in-law what she thought. Both of them were stunned, didn't answer for a while, and were thinking about it in their hearts. Zhao is because his son is young, the same age as Xiao Han, and he has never thought about this. Chen's because his daughter had just quit her family, she hadn't considered this issue, thinking that she would wait a few years to talk about it, anyway, her daughter was still young.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Hu Shi was anxious: "What do you two think, let's discuss it when you two say it." I don't have to ask for your consent. ”

Zhao hurriedly said: "Of course I like Xiaohan very much, but the two children are still young, so, mother, why don't you let this matter go first, and wait for them to be older in two years." ”

Chen also said: "Mother, you know, Xiao Han was divorced by the Tang family some time ago, and the people around her pointed at her, and Xiao Han couldn't think about it for a while...... My heart is like being cut by a knife, and I hate the Tang family to the core. Originally, Xiao Han had already thrown this matter away, but that day the mother-in-law of the Tang family insulted Xiao Han at the door as a concubine, and I was eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Fortunately, Xiao Han was bold and clever, not only saved face, but also scolded Tang Yun bitterly. Afterwards, his father and I regretted it so much, we shouldn't have married Xiaohan early. Tang Yun's kid looked very well-behaved and good when he was a child, but he didn't expect to change his face as soon as he was admitted to Xiucai. As the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of grass rope for ten years. Xiao Han now has her own idea, she said that she will not consider marriage before the age of eighteen, and his father and I dare not make the decision to marry her, for fear that if something happens, it will hurt her heart again. ”

What the two of them said made sense, and Hu was also a reasonable person, but she liked these two children very much in her heart, and felt that it was an excellent idea to bring them together and get close to each other.

So she seriously thought about it and put forward a pertinent suggestion: "What you said makes sense, one is my grandson and the other is my granddaughter, both are good children, I like them very much, and I don't want to hurt them." Well, we first had this idea in our hearts, both children should not be married, and then they would be married when they reached the age of sixteen. Eighteen years old is too late, and it can't be done by Xiaohan's temperament. As the saying goes: women don't stay, and staying and staying becomes an enemy. If the two children can make eye contact with each other, they will be happy. If one party disagrees, then the matter is abandoned. We only know this matter in our hearts, and we don't have to tell others, so as to save Xiaohan's reputation if the marriage fails. ”

Chen and Zhao both breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed, so in these three words, the two families reached a tacit understanding of aunt and cousin.

If the person concerned, Lin Xiaohan, learned about this, he would definitely feel thunder.

But she didn't know it in her dreams at this time, she didn't know that this agreement would save her life for the next few years, let alone that this agreement would go wrong, setting off a storm a few years later, causing indelible scars to the two families.

She slept soundly, and had no dreams all night.
