Chapter 6 Digging Ginseng (2/2)



When he sold his goods, he hid half of the money.

Old Mrs. Huang ignored him and said to Tao Chunhua, "Go and kill the old hen in the backyard."

Tao Chunhua was stunned for a moment. There were five chickens in the family, four hens and one rooster. Normally, Grandma Huang was reluctant to even let her touch them.

Even if it's a fry, I can't bear to kill one.

Today this is...

She looked at Old Mrs. Huang, and then at the ginseng in the basket.

Suddenly, she realized that it must be that Old Mrs. Huang dug some ginseng and was very happy, so she wanted to kill a chicken to celebrate.

"Yes, mother, I'll go right away."

Thinking about having chicken for lunch, Tao Chunhua was filled with energy.

He immediately called Huang Erniu to go to the backyard to catch chickens.

Just as the couple killed the chicken, Huang Xiaojuan came back with a basket of wild vegetables.

No one knew where Huang Xiaoman had gone to fool around.

Tao Chunhua saw Huang Xiaojuan and immediately shouted, "Xiaojuan, come over here and help pluck the chicken feathers!"

Huang Xiaojuan pouted, "Mom, I just came back, this basket of wild vegetables is not worth digging."

"I told you to do something and you still have a mouth!" Tao Chunhua roared, making Huang Xiaojuan tremble with fear.

After Tao Chunhua chopped the chicken into pieces, Old Lady Huang took the chicken.

After putting it in the pot, I added half a pot of water.

Tao Chunhua looked surprised, "Mom, aren't you making braised chicken?"

Braised chicken is delicious, fragrant and oily. One bite will fill your mouth with the delicious flavor.

Old Mrs. Huang rolled her eyes at her and said, "You only know how to eat. You want to braise such a small chicken!"

Tao Chunhua licked her lips and smiled awkwardly, "Mom, I'll do whatever you say."

"Then why don't you go and light a fire!"

Tao Chunhua hurriedly went to light the fire, and soon the aroma of chicken soup wafted into the air.

Tao Chunhua, who was burning a fire under the stove, couldn't help but stick her head out. Seeing that Old Lady Huang was washing vegetables outside, she quickly lifted the lid of the pot.

The chicken soup inside was bubbling, and a layer of yellow fat floated on the soup.

Tao Chunhua drooled at the sight, and she couldn't help but pick up a piece of chicken with chopsticks.

"What are you doing?"

Tao Chunhua had just picked it up when she was frightened by a voice behind her and her hand trembled, and the chicken fell into the pot again.

"Mom, it's been cooking for so long, I want to taste the saltiness."

The next second, she saw clearly that Old Lady Huang was holding something in her hand, and she was so scared that she couldn't help but scream.

"Mom! Why did you wash the ginseng?"

Her shout directly called Huang Erniu, who was wandering outside, in.

Huang Erniu was still thinking that he could use the money from the sales to go to a restaurant in town and have a feast.

I didn't expect that Mrs. Huang actually washed the ginseng!

"Mom, what are you washing? You can't sell it for a good price!"

Seeing Huang Erniu's distressed look, Old Lady Huang directly put ginseng into the chicken soup.

"Mom! Are you crazy?" Huang Erniu stretched out his hand to get the food, but was hit by Old Lady Huang's rice ladle and retracted his hand.

Old Mrs. Huang said, "When did I say I wanted to sell it? I bought it specially to make soup. What? You don't have the money to buy it back to honor your mother. Can't I dig it myself to make up for it?"

Huang Erniu stamped his feet anxiously, "Mom, do you know how much this can be sold for? At least several dozen taels!"

Mrs. Huang nodded calmly, "I know."

"I know you still make soup!"

Huang Erniu jumped around in panic, and the sound of their quarrel attracted a large group of neighbors.
