Chapter 164: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Yan Nian was packing up his belongings, bending down to pick up the basket and preparing to leave the forest, when he saw a person walking in outside the forest, and when he walked in, Yan Nian saw that this person was Li San who lived in the Li family ancestral hall.
Seeing that Li San was carrying a fat pheasant in his hand, the three chickens were carried upside down by Li San with their feet, fluttering the beautiful feathers and trying to break free from Li San's hands.
Yan Nian hurriedly said: "Third Brother Li, you are very powerful, how did you catch these three chickens?" ”
Li San is still wearing his own ink-colored son's robe today, but he has washed it with water, and he looks much more refreshing. The yellowish skin, and the boy's silk scarf on his head still wraps his hair. Yan Nian thought that no one could tell that he was homeless in this dress.
Hearing Yan Nian ask himself like this, Li San said as he walked towards Yan Nian: "I just went into the forest and wanted to get some wild vegetables and dried firewood, who would have thought that I would meet this guy who didn't know whether to live or die, and actually ran to my feet, looking at this fat guy, how could I let it go?" ”
Li Sanyang raised the pheasant in his hand and said to Yan Nian again: "I won't clean it up, you can take it back and stew it for the two Xiaobao to eat." ”
Yan Nian hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's unacceptable, since God sent this pheasant to cook dinner for you, then you can eat it, I don't dare to go against the will of heaven!" After that, Yan Nian smiled and walked outside the forest with his belongings.
Seeing that Yan Nian refused to ask for pheasant, Li San followed up and said, "In this way, you stew this pheasant for me tonight, and I will eat it at your house." As he spoke, he put the pheasant on his legs with hay and threw it into the basket where Yan Nian had filled half of the wild vegetables.
Yan Nian thought about it and said, "Okay, you go to my house for dinner at night, I stewed the pheasant and asked Nuo Nuo and Yanyan to call you over." ”
Hearing Yan Nian say this, Li San happily agreed, "Okay, I'll pick up some dry firewood and carry it home." ”
Yan Nian responded and walked out of the forest without looking back.
While walking, I thought, this is good, Li San can eat mountain chicken, and his two little treasures can also satisfy their hunger, it is really a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Yan Nian didn't forget to take a look at the courtyard of He Wang's house.
Today, He Wang and his mother don't seem to be at home, and they didn't find anyone in He Wang's house when they went up the mountain.
Yan Nian walked forward while thinking, passing by the land of his house and looking into the field. In the morning, this Ding was really confused, and he took good care of the seedlings in this field, Yan Nian thought that this person just didn't clean up. But this is also very good, not only to get the seedlings in the field well, but also to measure him in the future, he will not dare to deceive himself again.
While thinking, Yan Nian left the field and stepped on the stones to cross the stream.
When I returned home, I saw Nuo Nuo on a small bench under the eaves, holding the three-character scripture in his hand and looking at it carefully, while Xiao Yanyan was holding the doll in her hand and squatting beside her brother with the little nurse, playing quietly.
Suddenly, the little sister saw that the master was back, and she hurriedly ran down the steps to welcome Yan Nian back.
Yanyan and Nuo Nuo also looked at the gate, and saw that their mother was back, and Nuo Nuo also came over with a book, and Yanyan saw her brother leave the small bench and sat down busily.
Yan Nian thought to himself, he should make two more stools.
"Mother, did you hit the pheasant again?" Nuo Nuo saw that the pheasant in his mother's basket was fluttering, and his little face raised to ask his mother.
Yan Nian put down his belongings, looked at the pheasant in the basket, shook his head and said, "This time it wasn't my mother's beating, it was Uncle Li San's work." ”
Yan Nian asked Nuo Nuo as he spoke, "Son, can you recognize the words in this book?" ”
Xiao Nuo Nuo heard his mother ask himself like this, looked at the book in his hand, blushed, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, mother, you teach Nuo Nuo." ”
Yan Nian touched Nuo Nuo's wet hair, nodded and said: "Nuo Nuo likes to study like this, my mother is really happy, okay, my mother will cook the meal in a while, you and Yanyan will go to Li San to come over for dinner, after eating, I will teach you." ”
Nuo Nuo happily agreed: "Okay, Nuo Nuo will help my mother light the fire." ”
Yan Nian has cleaned up several pheasants, and he is already very skilled, he quickly bleeds the pheasant, catches the chicken blood with a bowl, and pulls out the pheasant's beautiful feathers.
Nuo Nuo didn't ask his mother if the beautiful feather was a feather duster this time, and took the initiative to put the feather away and put it aside.
Yan Nian brushed the pot, and Nuo Nuo sat on the small bench and added firewood to the stove pit.
Seeing that the water was boiling, Yan Nian poured the water on the pheasant's body, and cleaned off the feathers on the pheasant one by one, and finally the remaining small hairs that were difficult to see with the naked eye, Yan Nian found a candle and burned it on the pheasant after removing the hair.
The coarse and fine hairs on the outside were cleaned up, and Yan Nian began to disembowel the pheasant again and clean up the chicken's internal organs.
However, when Yan Nian opened the pheasant's belly with a kitchen knife, he saw that there was a small gold ingot in the pheasant's belly.
At first, Yan Nian really couldn't believe that this was true, took it out and washed it, bit it with his teeth, and was surprised to find that this was really a piece of gold.
Yan Nian was pleasantly surprised, she didn't know that such a pheasant still had gold in her belly. But then I thought about it, how could this gold get into the belly of the pheasant, could it really be that it grew out of the belly of the pheasant?
Yan Nian didn't believe that it was grown, and he had heard that there were chickens and dogs, saying that they were treasures found in the internal organs of animals, but those were all things with medicinal value, and this was pure gold.
Seeing the gold in his mother's hand, Nuo Nuo's eyes widened and asked his mother: "Mother, isn't this gold?" ”
Yan Nian suddenly remembered that the Liu family didn't say that there was no gold, even if there was gold, it would not be seen by Nuo Nuo, an outsider, so where did Nuo Nuo see the gold?
"Nono, are you sure of this gold?" Yan Nian just wanted to know how Nuno recognized this gold.
Nono nodded and said, "I think I've seen it somewhere before." ”
"Where have you seen it?" Yan Nian asked hurriedly.
Little Nuno grabbed his head and shook it, "I don't remember." ”
Yan Nian looked at the gold in his hand in disappointment, and muttered, "You, you, who are you?" ”
Seeing his mother like this, Nuo Nuo hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Yan Nian hurriedly said, "Nothing? ”
Yan Nian said again: "We can't ask for this gold, this pheasant belongs to Li San, and I will give it to him when I eat later." Then Yan Nian handed the gold to Nuo Nuo, "You put it in the kang cabinet first, and then give it to him when your uncle comes over for dinner." ”
Little Nono took the gold with obedient hands and walked into the house.
Yan Nian quickly cleaned up everything, put the stomped pheasant pieces into the oil that was about to smoke for a while, and added oil, salt, sauce and vinegar Bala Hui, watching the fat pheasant come out of the oil, Yan Nian took out the mountain spring water from the water tank and poured it into the pot, after the pheasant, he added some salt and green onion to the chicken blood just put, poured some rapeseed oil, added water and stirred well, put it on the steaming drawer, covered the pot and began to stew.
Yan Nian pulled Nuno up, "You went to find Uncle Li San to come over for dinner." ”
Nuno nodded, "Mother, can Uncle be at home now?" ”
