"It's nothing, just wait here, I'll go home and get it for you right away!"

Wang Guihua turned around and headed home in a hurry, grabbed a large basket, and filled it with all the extra usable bowls and chopsticks in the house.

Before leaving, thinking about the situation in Ning Jing's kitchen, he turned back and cut a large cabbage and pulled up a handful of garlic leaves in the vegetable garden behind his house.

In principle, every household in the countryside would dig a few rows of vegetable plots in the open space behind their house, so as to supplement their food and drink.

Wang Guihua's family only planted this one row of Chinese cabbages, and the seeds were obtained from her younger brother and sister-in-law.

With a large family, she usually couldn't bear to cut it up to eat.

She planned to store these cabbages in her cellar at home, and only take them out to eat when she couldn't find any wild vegetables after it snowed.

When Ning Jing saw the large cabbage that Wang Guihua brought over, her eyes lit up immediately.

You can also stir-fry a pot of cabbage with sliced ​​meat, which is very appetizing.

"Sister-in-law Guihua, thank you so much!"

"No need to thank me. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to raise chicks?"

I went to my parents' house yesterday and casually asked about it for you.

Originally, they didn't want money, they wanted grain.

Those eggs are 5.5 cents each. We'll hatch as many as you buy.

However, not all of them will hatch; out of 10 eggs, the probability of 6 to 7 chicks hatching is considered high.

If you don't buy eggs, but just buy chicks, the males will cost you 6.5 cents each, and the females will cost you 9 cents each, or you can exchange them for 100 jin of sweet potatoes.

Wang Guihua kept talking while her hands kept working.

First, I poked at the taro that Ning Jing and the others had cooked in the jar with chopsticks. When I saw that I could pierce it, I poured it out.

Ning Jing did some calculations and realized that the food at home was not enough to eat. Fortunately, Fu Hongxing had given her money yesterday, so she was not short of money and decided to buy some.

"Then let's buy 10 chicks first, two males and the rest females, to avoid trouble."

If you buy eggs to hatch, who knows how many will hatch? If they all hatch males, you'll lose money.

Wang Guihua nodded; that was her opinion too.

However, for those who are poor, they can only rely on luck.

"You're buying so many chickens, can you even keep up with them? Maybe you should buy a few more!"

Wang Guihua asked with some concern.

"Let them outside and let them find insects to eat on their own; they'll grow big eventually."

Moreover, buying too few doesn't guarantee that all of them will survive.

Ning Jing thought for a moment, then shook her head and said she would buy 10.

Ning Jing cooked the meal, Xiu Hua assisted her, and Wang Gui Hua helped out.

Those who came to help ate until their bellies were round and full.

There's no other reason than that it's incredibly lucrative.

They can even make all sorts of dishes out of just taro.

While most people steam taro and eat it as a meal, Ning Jing actually fried the taro in oil and then stir-fried it with soy sauce.

Once it's served, sprinkle some wild scallions on top, then pour hot oil over it.

Hot oil poured over wild scallions releases a unique aroma, making it especially delicious with rice.

The potatoes are stuffed with about a pound of fatty meat, and when cooked until they turn a bright red, each piece is covered in a glistening sheen of oil.

One bite and you'll find it tender and juicy with a rich meaty aroma.

Not to mention wild vegetables stewed with pig lungs and stir-fried pig liver, as well as stir-fried cabbage with sliced ​​pork.

After the pig intestines were cooked in soy sauce, they were stir-fried with garlic leaves. You could see the oil floating on top of them in the bowl!

Fortunately, before the dishes were served, Ning Jing picked out some of each dish, filled a large bowl, and asked Sister Guihua to deliver it to the children in the family first.
