Volume 1 Chapter 169 Chicken Killing War
Political Commissar Xie's wife lowered the volume and looked around, fearing that others might hear her.
Although this is something everyone does, you still have to be careful with your words and actions in the army.
"You can just go to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood."
Political Commissar Xie's wife told her some experiences of living here. Sheng Wanyan was very grateful for Aunt Xie's enthusiasm.
If no one tells you this, then she can only figure it out on her own.
"Thank you, Auntie. I understand."
"I'm going to the village tomorrow, will you come?"
Aunt Xie is going to the village tomorrow to exchange some food with the villagers. After all, they need to store coarse grains for the winter.
Sheng Wanyan planned to explore the route so that it would be convenient for her to get supplies out in the future.
Moreover, the food of this era is very fresh and does not contain any additives.
The vegetables grown in big cities in later generations no longer taste like green vegetables.
It's nothing like the ones of this era, filled with the fresh fragrance of green vegetables.
"go."
"Okay, I'll call you after lunch tomorrow."
Sheng Wanyan nodded, and after sowing the seeds, she went home to start preparing the ingredients for dinner.
There are a lot of people here tonight, so the staple food must be large enough to fill our stomachs.
Although she has a lot of supplies in her space, she doesn't want to be too extravagant. She just wants it to be better than ordinary people.
There are many children eating tonight, so we must prepare some easy-to-eat food.
Sheng Wanyan thought about it and decided on the menu in her mind.
Steamed fish, braised pork, steamed eggs, stir-fried vegetables, and cold cucumber.
There are two pheasants at home, which can be used to make soup and then made into boiled chicken.
One soup, four meats and two vegetables, it would be enough if she made bigger portions.
Add some whole grains, corn can be used to make tortillas, and sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potato cakes.
The staple food is white flour buns, which are made bigger because soldiers have big appetites.
There must not be enough flour at home. Take some out from the space before anyone comes.
As for the children's staple food, she cooks some lean meat porridge. She herself doesn't like steamed buns and prefers noodles, porridge and rice.
This way, I have dinner and I don’t have to eat steamed buns. Even though they are white flour buns, they are dry.
But Sheng Wanyan had a problem, that is, she didn't dare to kill the chicken, and Gu Tingxiao was at work.
Sheng Wanyan took a deep breath, took a knife and a basin and went to the chicken coop. She blinked and looked at the two pheasants jumping around in the coop.
Sheng Wanyan kept preparing herself mentally, but... she still failed.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Wanyan, open the door."
Aunt Xie was knocking on the door. When Sheng Wanyan heard Aunt Xie's voice, her eyes lit up.
She hurriedly took the kitchen knife and went to open the door. Aunt Xie was shocked to see her running out in a hurry with a kitchen knife.
"Oh my god!"
Aunt Xie was so scared that she quickly took a few steps back and looked at her warily. Sheng Wanyan hid the knife behind her.
"What are you doing with the knife?"
"Auntie, I'm killing a chicken."
Aunt Xie felt relieved after hearing this. The expression on her face just now didn't look like she was about to kill a chicken, but more like she was ready to die.
"But I can't..."
? ? ?
Aunt Xie, who thought she was deaf, said: "..."
Sheng Wanyan said it as a matter of course, looking at her eagerly.
…
Aunt Xie: “…”
So you are a laborer? ? ?
Aunt Xie looked at her in disbelief. Who in this world doesn't know how to kill a chicken?
Not to mention killing chickens, anything edible can be processed cleanly.
this……
Aunt Xie was speechless for a moment, the words stuck in her throat.
I looked at the kitchen knife in her hand, and then at her white and tender hand holding the knife.
This hand... is so beautiful and white.
Unlike those of them who work frequently, their skin is rough and dry.
Aunt Xie got goosebumps when she thought of such beautiful hands and the scene of killing a chicken with a knife.
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
Aunt Xie took the kitchen knife from her hand and walked in. This was her first time at Sheng Wanyan's house.
There was a women's bicycle parked in the front yard, and a clothes rack with two people's clothes hanging to dry.
Sheng Wanyan put away those underwear in advance for fear of being embarrassed if seen.
But when she arrived at the chicken coop and saw the backyard, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Wanyan...what is this bamboo house...?"
"Auntie, this is the kitchen."
"What???"
Aunt Xie thought there was something wrong with her ears, so she built a kitchen in the backyard? ? ?
"Aunt, I'll take you to see it."
Aunt Xie nodded and followed her to visit with a kitchen knife in hand.
As soon as I walked in and saw the neatly planned kitchen, especially the vegetable sink that I had never seen before, I was instantly attracted to it.
This thing is great!
After washing, you don’t have to carry the dirty water to throw away.
"This... this is too convenient."
"Is this... your idea?"
Sheng Wanyan nodded, and when Aunt Xie saw her admit it, her face was full of disbelief.
How come Sheng Wanyan's brain works so well?
"How is this done?"
Aunt Xie was itching to do it. The most annoying thing about doing housework was washing things. It was very annoying to walk back and forth to fetch water every time. It was all strenuous work.
"Aunt wants one. I'll ask Ting Xiao to get one for you then."
"But we need to knock a hole in the wall of the yard to divert the water out."
Sheng Wanyan told Aunt Xie some knowledge, but Aunt Xie was stunned and didn't understand it at all.
"I don't understand. I'll ask your uncle Xie to come and learn from your man."
Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard this. These tasks are easier for men to learn.
Aunt Xie took a tour and was especially moved when she saw their long corridor.
This kind of corridor is actually a very simple job, something that any man can do if he uses his brain.
But I'm just lazy and don't want to take it seriously.
Like their family, the man also built a long corridor, but you said that it was blocked by bamboo nets on both sides, which is really not the case.
In the entire family compound, only Captain Gu cares so much about it.
Captain Gu looks cold, but surprisingly he is a man who loves his wife very much.
After Aunt Xie finished her tour, she went back to the chicken coop to catch some chickens to kill.
Seeing the basin in front of the chicken coop, he looked at Sheng Wanyan with some confusion.
"Why do you put this basin here?"
Um? ? ?
Sheng Wanyan looked at her in confusion. Isn't this obviously a way to kill chickens?
"Kill the chicken."
"Kill here?"
Sheng Wanyan nodded and looked at Aunt Xie with confusion.
Or else?
Aunt Xie looked at the two pheasants in the chicken coop and killed its companion in front of the other chicken.
Captain Gu’s wife is really brave.
"Wanyan, please don't kill it in front of the chicken!"
“It’s easy to cause public outrage.”
After all, chickens have emotions too...
She is not joking. If you kill your companion in front of it this time, it will not be so easy to kill it next time.
Sheng Wanyan frowned slightly, thinking seriously about what Aunt Xie said.
Do you have to consider the chicken's feelings when killing it?
Is this what the world has become?
