The chicken is being slaughtered!

Although it involves killing a chicken, it doesn't feel bloody.

This is a joyous occasion for some rural families around the world.

Moreover, this is a world of simple and honest people.

Just like on Earth, chickens are slaughtered to entertain guests when there are happy occasions in the family, such as relatives and friends coming to visit.

Otherwise, unless one is from a very wealthy family, who would be willing to kill a chicken for themselves on a regular basis?

My junior sister now also thinks this is something to be happy about. However, since she has a deer as a pet, she is particularly careful about protecting her pets and will not take her to see chickens being slaughtered and bled, as this is a bloody affair.

Even though, in fact, the little deer had already seen them kill the mountain bandits.

However, it is always right to care for some pets and protect them from bloodshed.

Ye Leng, on the other hand, doesn't have these problems.

Perhaps in order to be able to eat chicken sooner, he silently followed along, carrying basins, fetching water, and helping out in small ways. He also watched his second senior sister clean the chicken, bleed it, scald it with hot water, and then pluck its feathers.

Ye Xing also brought her younger sister to come and see.

Ye Le, encouraged by Ye Liang's gaze, also went to see it.

The children must have been tempted when they saw the chicken being killed.

Second Senior Sister smiled slightly, and while cleaning the chicken, she said to them, "I'll stew a big pot of vegetables for you all for lunch. There's definitely more than you can finish."

"Mmm." Ye Leng responded with a slightly embarrassed soft "Mmm," indicating her agreement and anticipation.

After that, Ye Leng even went into the kitchen and took the initiative to light the stove.

Although he couldn't cook it properly, it always smoked.

But if you teach him, he'll learn it in no time.

Ultimately, he wasn't stupid.

Ye Xing, Ye Ke, and Ye Le also ran to the vicinity to follow Ye Liang in collecting firewood.

All the firewood we gathered before was burned by the bandits.

The ruins still stand.

When Ye Liang passed by there today, he was already thinking that once Xiaoxianzhuang was settled, he would go down the mountain and hire more craftsmen to rebuild the houses that had been burned down by the bandits.

These burned ruins, left standing there, are not only unsightly, but also evoke sadness.

Some people gathered firewood, while others started a fire, and the lunch was quickly prepared.

But in reality, the time has not been reduced at all.

However, since everyone has something to do, the waiting time doesn't feel as agonizing as it may seem.

"Stir-fried free-range chicken with wild mushrooms!"

"Wild boar meat stewed with cabbage, tofu, and glass noodles!"

Brown rice with crispy bits at the bottom!

Second Sister was determined today to make sure the children ate well and were full.

They brought out the best ingredients from inside the mountain gate to cook.

Those wild mushrooms were all picked by them when they went up the mountain.

In the past, I was reluctant to eat it easily.

Previously, there was no chicken to stew with.

These wild mushrooms only taste good when stewed with chicken.

Now, the second senior sister took out all the dried wild mushrooms and stewed them, just to satisfy the children's cravings.

Chicken stewed in an earthen stove, pork stewed with cabbage and tofu, would definitely taste delicious.

Let alone children who haven't had a full meal in a long time, even young masters who have eaten countless luxurious Western meals around the world still feel that Chinese cuisine is the most comforting and reassuring.

The children, in particular, practically swallowed their tongues along with the chicken pieces, meat chunks, and the extra-fragrant rice dipped in the oily broth.

"Delicious, delicious! Second Senior Sister, Eldest Senior Sister, it's been so long since we've had such a proper meal. Today is great, so great!" The junior sister was overjoyed.

Second Senior Sister smiled and said, "There's plenty in the pot. If you want more, go get some more rice."

It reminded her that Ye Leng always finished his meal first and then would habitually try to steal Ye Le's food. This time, her second senior sister was extra careful and made sure to add more rice and dishes for Ye Leng to prevent him from doing the same thing again and disappointing her.

Second Senior Sister said to Ye Leng, "Little Leng, it's great that you helped us with the cooking today. You've worked hard, so eat more at noon. If you're not full, just let us know and we'll get you more. You know there's plenty left in the pot."

Second Senior Sister knew how to speak tactfully. She didn't say anything blunt, like accusing Ye Leng of stealing food from little girls and hurting his pride. Instead, she said he worked hard helping with the cooking and then could ask for more rice without hurting his feelings. It achieved the same effect without hurting Ye Leng's pride—a win-win situation.

"Okay," Ye Leng mumbled, continuing to shovel rice into his mouth.

They must have felt ashamed.

Stealing Ye Le's food is wrong. He wouldn't have done it if he wasn't afraid of going hungry.

After all, he's a strong-willed person.

People have a sense of shame and self-respect.

"You too. Gathering firewood is hard work. If you run out of food, just let us know and we'll get you more. Don't be shy." The second senior sister also gave instructions to the three younger children, Ye Xing, Ye Le, and Ye Ke, who seemed rather well-behaved.

"Okay." They all said they understood, and then they started eating. This time it wasn't that they were worried about not having enough food, but that the food was so delicious that they couldn't stop eating once they started.

My senior sister, like a fairy, usually prefers a light diet of vegetables and tofu. Even with such a rich and oily meal today, she wasn't aloof. Although she ate relatively little meat, she loved the fragrant wild mushrooms, cabbage, and tofu stewed with chicken and wild boar. She ate quite a bit.

However, Ye Liang still felt that his senior sister probably didn't really dislike meat. It was just that she was the eldest senior sister and was more used to silently giving the best food to her junior sisters, and now she had him as her junior brother.
