If the black chicken could talk, it would definitely yell at Xiao Yunying.
"What are you dawdling about! Can't you just get it over with? At least cover my eyes, don't keep waving a knife at my neck in front of me, it's torture for a chicken!"
Unfortunately, the black chicken couldn't speak human language, and Xiao Yunying couldn't understand its calls either.
The black chicken felt bitter, but it couldn't express it.
The knife and the black chicken slipped from her hands and fell to the ground at the same time. Xiao Yunying exclaimed in surprise and took two steps back.
The family then looked away from the book and at her. Mu Lianrong walked over anxiously: "Daughter, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yunying turned her left hand over and saw a cut about two centimeters long, cut diagonally, that had broken through the outer layer of skin. The wound wasn't deep and was oozing blood slightly.
Alright, today is the day her hands suffer – her right hand is burned and her left hand is cut, so it's symmetrical.
She pulled her right sleeve down a little, trying not to let her mother see the burn, otherwise she would scold her again.
Mu Lianrong said with concern, "Why were you brandishing a knife at the chicken? You must have hurt yourself."
Then he turned around and punched Xiao Yunbai on the back twice: "You too, why did you make your little sister kill a chicken? When has she ever done this kind of work since she was a child?"
Xiao Yunbo dodged Mu Lianrong's punches, and Xiao Yunying hurriedly stopped her mother: "Mother, please don't hit my second brother. I wanted to learn it myself. I can't always trouble my brothers to kill chickens for me."
"They're your brothers, killing a chicken for you is nothing." Mu Lianrong glared at her two sons: "Is killing a chicken for your little sister really that tiring for you?"
The two brothers hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands: "No, no, we're not tired at all."
Xiao Yunying chuckled at her two brothers' expressions. Mu Lianrong gently patted her arm and said, "What are you laughing about? Doesn't your hand hurt?"
"It hurts a little, but it's not serious. Don't worry, Mom. I have medicine at home. I'll apply some when we get back."
It feels a bit like getting a cut on your finger from the pages of a new book—a stinging pain, but the wound isn't deep.
"You wait here, let your brother deal with this black chicken."
Xiao Yunying corrected, "It's black-boned chicken."
Mu Lianrong replied perfunctorily, "Black chicken, black chicken."
Xiao Shanhai returned the contract to Xiao Yunying: "Daughter, keep the contract safe and don't lose it."
Xiao Yunying put the contract into the supermarket: "I know it won't get lost."
There's nowhere in the world safer than her supermarket, unless it suddenly disappears.
It probably won't disappear. Last time I chopped down the roller shutter door inside the supermarket with an axe, and it was fine; it even repaired itself.
The bride's family members, who were experienced in handling various wild game, were skilled and efficient, and in no time the two black-boned chickens were cleaned thoroughly.
The family members, young and old, gathered around the black-boned chicken. Xiao Shanhai pressed down on the chicken meat and said, "This black-boned chicken is black, even its skin, meat, and some internal organs are black."
"Don't worry, Dad. This is what black-boned chicken is like. It's much more nutritious than regular chicken. Mom, you can keep one to eat. You can stew it with dried bamboo shoots or mushrooms. I'll take one back with me. That's enough. I can't eat more than that."
Mu Lianrong said, "This rare chicken must be expensive. Why kill it if you can't eat it all? Just raise it and eat it later."
Xiao Yunying held the chicken by its claws and carried the chicken: "What price do you want for Mom and Dad? It's getting dark, I'm going back now."
Xiao Yunying deliberately killed him first and then spared him; her family members all knew this.
Mu Lianrong wanted to see her off, but Xiao Yunying stopped her and quickly headed home with the black-boned chicken.
After returning home, I chopped the black-boned chicken into pieces, washed it clean, stewed it with bamboo shoots, and served it on the dinner table.
Because the stewed black-boned chicken took a long time to prepare, it was already dark when we ate. Xiao Yunying lit an oil lamp and placed it on the table for light.
The light from a small oil lamp was limited and couldn't illuminate the entire living room. Several children sat silently around the dining table in the dim light, facing the dark stewed chicken.
Xiao Yunying brought over the rice and fell silent for a moment upon seeing this scene.
The sky was a bit overcast tonight, and the stars and moon weren't very bright. The only oil lamp in the house emitted a pale yellow light that only illuminated half of the tabletop and the children's chins, their faces gradually disappearing into the darkness.
This scene is a bit creepy, isn't it?
She'll need to buy a few more oil lamps.
"What are you standing there for? Eat!"
She wanted chicken soup, so she added extra water and simmered it for a while longer, then served each person a small bowl.
She knew the children were intimidated by the black chickens they had never seen before, so she proved through her actions that black-boned chickens were edible.
Luo Xin was not afraid. She believed everything Xiao Yunying said and would eat anything given to her.
Xiao Yunying ate a piece of chicken first; it tasted really delicious. Then she let Luo Xin have a bite.
"Is it delicious?"
"tasty"
Luo Li was the first to succumb to the tempting aroma, taking a small bite to taste it: "Big brother, second brother, it's delicious, it tastes like chicken."
Xiao Yunying smiled and said, "Black chicken is just chicken, only the color is different. What else could it taste like if it doesn't taste like chicken meat?"
The two adults took a bite with their eyes closed, and finding no strange taste, they felt relieved and started eating.
The next morning, Xiao Yunying changed into new clothes.
She was looking in the mirror at the supermarket after taking a shower and thought the clothes were too unoriginal. They weren't ugly, but they were very ordinary.
In fact, ordinary cotton fabric can be pieced together to create stunning garments, but most rural families only care about practicality and don't have the time or inclination to consider this.
People who want to dress up nicely don't have the brains to design clothes.
"Others may not be able to design clothes, but I can."
Although she's not a professional, she's been observing pigs running for a long time, so she can draw their shapes.
For professional tasks like making clothes, just leave it to Sister Cheng Yue.
Feeling that it was about time, she left the supermarket and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
After eating, she habitually took a stroll around the greenhouse, and sure enough, her mother and two sisters-in-law were busy working inside again.
"Mother, is there no chores to do around the house?"
"There's no rush with the work at home. Finish up here first, then go back to work. This is the important business for you."
Well, she couldn't be persuaded. Starting tomorrow, she will indeed need her mother and sisters-in-law to help her take care of the greenhouse vegetables.
"Mother, I'll be busy with Huiweilou starting tomorrow, so I won't have time to take care of the seedlings. Could you and my sisters-in-law help me with them?"
Zhang put down the water ladle: "What's wrong with that? We're all family. Growing vegetables isn't tiring. You can focus on the restaurant business. Leave this to us."
Xiao Yunying felt a warmth in her heart, like she had drunk a cup of brown sugar ginger tea. Her sisters-in-law were also very kind.
She didn't mention the matter of dividing the silver, because she knew it would be useless to bring it up now; her mother wouldn't agree.
Once you have the money, you can just take it.
