Chapter 502: Killing Chickens
Qu Xiaobai was stunned: "Huh? Immediately realized, "Yang Ling, you big bastard!" Qu Xiaobai wanted to push him away with a smile and a smile, but he was long and strong and had martial arts, with a little force, no matter how hard she pushed, he didn't move.
Recently, he has been dealing with Zixuzhuang's affairs until late at night, and he hasn't tired her at night, which is good, it's changed to morning.
"Master ......" Qu Xiaobai was helpless, "It's not good to let people watch jokes every morning." ”
"Didn't you say that Zixuzhuang is all singles? Master give them a demonstration, maybe they will be enlightened? ”
Qu Xiaobai was speechless: "...... Are you sure? ”
Yang Ling nodded thoughtfully: "Well, I'm pretty sure." The upper beam is right, and the lower beam is not crooked. ”
Qu Xiaobai speechlessly greeted his eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart. Anyway, he went up to eighteen generations, probably all of them were emperors, which one of the emperors was not scum to Infinitus?
But the body still cooperated with him very honestly.
Although she is older now, her belly is not too big, and she has eaten so many supplements, in Yang Ling's words, it has not been made up for her stomach, but it has been made up for her chest.
It can be seen that the baby in the womb is really a lovely child, not only did not let her lose shape because of pregnancy, but helped her make up for the shortcomings of her figure.
When Yang Ling acts, it is also much more convenient, and there are fewer taboos.
When I woke up, it was three poles of the sun again.
Yang Ling was rare, his face was slightly red when he got up, and he said very sincerely: "You have to restrain yourself in the future, after all, the month is old." ”
Qu Xiaobai scolded with a smile: "I'll go to you. Uncle. Yes, do you know restraint? ”
Yang Ling was aggrieved: "Don't scold people." ”
"Anyway, your uncle and uncle are not good people."
Well. Reasonable. His uncle Lu Hui died in the battle for the throne, and his uncle King Jingnan is now on one side and is planning to go north to unify the country. It's not a good thing, really.
After washing, I had a simple breakfast, because the chickens were all fed on Zhuangzi, and Yang Ling didn't plan to kill in this yard, so he took Qu Xiaobai to Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi's side was already prepared yesterday, and Zhao Yuan deliberately set aside a separate room in the courtyard where the Zhuang Ding lived, and it just so happened that there was also a manpower to kill chickens, so there was no need to convene people in particular.
Early in the morning, the chickens and the killers were already in place, and those who didn't squeeze into the house went outside to boil hot water, and some went to the kitchen to help.
At the beginning, there were no less than a thousand big roosters, which were originally intended for everyone to eat for the New Year, and after a few months of careful feeding, now each big rooster is not less than four or five catties, and the big ones have reached seven or eight catties, and the slaughter is just right.
As soon as Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai entered the courtyard, they heard the sound of chickens and dogs barking, which was very lively.
Zhao Yuan greeted him, "Master, madam, you are here, I am waiting for you." ”
The people in the courtyard all knelt down to salute, although they were all dressed very warmly, but after waiting in the courtyard for so long, they were still so cold that their faces were red, Yang Ling said: "Let's not kneel, let's get up." ”
These people who stayed and lived in the compound were either homeless, or had broken families, or wounded soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield, if it weren't for Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai's take-in, they would have died in the heavy snow this winter, how could they not be grateful from the bottom of their hearts?
Qu Xiaobai stepped forward, helped up an old man, and said, "Let's get up quickly, it's not convenient for me to help everyone one by one." ”
The one who is best at destroying the atmosphere - Qu Xiaobai. Everyone couldn't help but be amused by her, and they all got up quickly.
Yang Ling spoke to Zhao Yuan: "Have you also distributed it to every household?" ”
"Don't worry, it's been sent to every household."
Except for the chickens to be killed in the compound, the rest of the families who do not live in the compound also have a chicken in each household, and the new district is brought back to kill by themselves.
After the distribution, there were three or four hundred chickens left in the compound, and these three or four hundred chickens would be killed today.
Yang Ling nodded, such a small favor is actually not worth mentioning in his heart at all, Yang Ling is a person, he is his person, he naturally has to protect it.
Zhao Yuan took out the biggest rooster, the cockscomb, the red cockscomb, the red and shiny, the feathers were also red, and he felt energetic when he looked at it.
This first chicken was naturally killed by Yang Ling himself, taking an auspicious meaning.
Yang Ling covered Qu Xiaobai's eyes with one hand, took the blade in Zhao Yuan's hand with the other hand, and swiped lightly on the neck of the chicken, so fast that Zhao Yuan didn't see it clearly, Yang Ling had already taken Qu Xiaobai and walked towards the room where they were prepared to come out to rest, and bright red blood spurted out of the chicken's neck.
Zhao Yuan stood on the ground in amazement, forgetting to look at the rooster in his hand. This method of killing chickens! No wonder you can't go to the battlefield to defeat that Arochu!
From beginning to end, Qu Xiaobai didn't take a look at the process of killing chickens. Although it is a little regrettable, it is undoubtedly warm in my heart to be pampered like this.
The two of them went to the lounge, there was a charcoal stove lit inside, the fire wall was also burning hot, the room was very warm, Qu Xiaobai took off the cloak on his body, took Yang Ling's coat and hung it on the wall, the two sat in front of the charcoal stove, listening to the rooster crows outside, looking at each other speechlessly, only a smile that did not need to be said was condensed at the corner of his mouth.
When there was no more terrible rooster crows, all you could hear was the cheerful laughter and talking.
Different from modern times, there is that kind of machine for killing chickens, which is very convenient and fast, in this world where all technology is very backward and only people's desires are not backward, killing a chicken is still quite troublesome.
First of all, chicken feathers are useful, is the key to the bellows to pull the wind, therefore, people first pluck off the chicken is not long or short hair and store it, keep the bellows, and then the chicken is hot to remove the fluff on the chicken and the long hair that is pulled from the south, and so on to pluck the hair, it is the process of disemboweling and cleaning up the crumbs.
Yang Ling naturally wouldn't let Qu Xiaobai go to see such a bloody scene, and when the aroma of stewed chicken came out outside, Zhao Yuan came into the house happily and told them that they had all cleaned up, and they were waiting to eat the big dishes, and Yang Ling let Qu Xiaobai, who was already suffocated, go out.
Qu Xiaobai didn't dare to jump up and down now, but the steps under his feet were still faster than usual, all the people in the courtyard crowded into the courtyard, and some of the young children had already lined up in the ice and snow with a big bowl, and their little faces were red from the cold, and some still had two strings of ice snot, but they still had smiling faces, and their eyes were full of anticipation.
Qu Xiaobai felt sorry for these children, and hurriedly beckoned: "You go to the house and wait, and after the chicken is stewed in a while, I will call you." ”
The children were still reluctant to go into the house to wait, Qu Xiaobai was helpless, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the nose of a very young child next to him, the snot was already frozen above his lips, Qu Xiaobai was distressed and funny for a while before wiping him clean.
She saw the shadow of the little monkey Hou Maomao in the crowd, so she shouted at him: "Hou Maomao, come here!" ”
Hou Maomao is already twelve or thirteen years old, which is relatively large in this group of children, and when he heard Qu Xiaobai's shout, he ran over in surprise, and he couldn't wait to prick Qu Xiaobai, but such a big child already understood etiquette and still controlled it.
Yang Ling seemed to see his cautiousness, and pulled him in front of him, and said, "Go, take these children to the house to warm up, and after a while, the stewed chicken will call you, and run out of a I only ask." ”
"Why are you so cruel to people?" Qu Xiaobai smiled and said with disgust, "Hou Maomao, take these children back to the house, and then go to your Aunt Zhao Yuan to ask for some candy melon seeds to share with your friends, just say what I said." ”
As soon as they heard that there was candy to eat, the children's eyes were shining, and Qu Xiaobai took the opportunity to say: "Hurry up and go back to the house, I'll see who is at the back, and there is no candy at the back." ”
This trick really worked, and the children all rushed to the house with Huan'er, and a few even fell, but the children were wearing thick cotton jackets, which were round, and naturally they didn't hurt to fall.
Hou Maomao saw that everyone was going back, and he was busy looking for Zhao Yuan's family.
Qu Xiaobai saw that they had all entered the house, turned back to Zhao Yuan and said, "How many mothers-in-law who take care of the children are not there?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Yuan stomped around, and finally saw the four mothers-in-law sent to take care of the children in a corner, pointed at it, and said, "Where are they." ”
The four mothers-in-law were all standing in the leeward, looking at the rows of chickens hanging in the yard that had just been killed and had not yet been cooked, Qu Xiaobai's face was not very good-looking, and said, "Call them over." ”
Zhao Yuan hurriedly ran over and shouted to the person, "You are still here to watch the excitement, and you have forgotten all the work on your body?" If your master has called you, see you be punished. ”
Several mothers-in-law panicked and hurriedly ran to Qu Xiaobai's side.
Yang Ling shook Qu Xiaobai's hand, afraid that she would be angry, so he comforted her on the side: "If you don't use it, you can open it, don't take it to heart." ”
Qu Xiaobai said: "I'm not angry, I won't be angry with this little thing." ”
When the mother-in-law came to the front, they all knelt down in unison. These mothers-in-law are all in their forties, and there are heavy traces of wind and frost on their faces, which shows that the previous days were very difficult, which is probably why they chose to stay.
Qu Xiaobai glanced at them, didn't let them get up immediately, and asked lightly, "Do you have any children?" ”
Two mothers-in-law shook their heads, and one said, "Originally, there was a son, but he died on the battlefield the year before last." ”
Another said: "I originally had a daughter, and after my son-in-law died on the battlefield, my daughter also looked for a short time." ”
The other two said: "We have children, but the children are not doing well, so we don't follow the children to add burden." ”
Qu Xiaobai was very uncomfortable when he heard this, and said: "You are all in your forties, which is the age when you can help your children, why did you become a burden to your children?" ”
