The children squatted obediently beside Xiao Yunfei, staring at the bird meat that was revealed bit by bit as the black layer on the outside was peeled off.
Su Miaomiao looked at this harmonious scene and said with a smile on her face.
"I'll call Sister Xiangxiang over."
"Well, go ahead."
Xiao Yunfei responded casually without stopping his hands.
At this time in the room, Chu Xiangxiang was holding the menu, looking at the words on it and recalling which dish each line of text corresponded to.
Because she was illiterate, she could only memorize the words by rote.
"One, two, three, four, five. A five-character dish name. Tsk, what's the name of this dish?"
"The middle word is pronounced stew."
"It's definitely not chicken stewed with mushrooms. She remembers the small characters. It's not that complicated."
"Pork stewed with vermicelli? That's right! It should be pork stewed with vermicelli."
“The next dish is…”
Chu Xiangxiang was pointing at the words on the menu and reviewing them laboriously.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Xiangxiang, it's me."
"Miaomiao, come in quickly."
Chu Xiangxiang responded quickly.
The next second, the door opened and Su Miaomiao walked in with a smile.
Su Miaomiao was a little surprised to see Chu Xiangxiang holding the menu in her hand, and she asked.
"Is Sister Xiangxiang looking at the menu?"
"Yeah, let me review it. I'm afraid I won't remember it and embarrass you."
Chu Xiangxiang smiled a little embarrassedly and said.
"Today, two girls have already asked me indirectly if I'm your relative. They can see that our relationship is special, so I have to do my best and not let them outdo me."
It turned out that she was worried that she didn't learn as well as others and would be embarrassed.
No wonder Chu Xiangxiang found her specifically before coming back and asked her if she could take the menu back to have a look.
Chu Xiangxiang is a strong-willed person, so it's not surprising that she thinks this way.
Su Miaomiao likes people who work hard, she said with a smile on her face.
"Okay, then if you have any questions, just come and ask me. We'll live in the east and west rooms, it's more convenient."
Chu Xiangxiang was afraid of disturbing Su Miaomiao, so she didn't feel comfortable holding the menu to ask.
When she heard Su Miaomiao say this, she was immediately delighted.
He nodded quickly.
"Okay, then I won't be polite. I have a question for you now."
Chu Xiangxiang was about to ask something, but Su Miaomiao raised her hand to stop her.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiangxiang. Let's go to the outer room and eat something first. Otherwise, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Eat?
There was a noise in the outer room just now, and she thought Xiao Yunfei was playing with the children while heating the kang.
Chu Xiangxiang looked up and asked.
"Have you made something delicious? What did you make?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Su Miaomiao kept the secret and walked out while pulling Chu Xiangxiang's hand while talking.
When she arrived at the outer room, Chu Xiangxiang saw six people, including father and son, squatting by the stove.
The burnt aroma of barbecue goes straight into my nose, and the taste is a little different from the usual barbecue.
She strode over with Su Miaomiao and asked in a loud voice.
"Why are you guys squatting on the ground?"
When Xiao Yunfei and the children heard Chu Xiangxiang's voice, they turned their heads at the same time.
The eldest brother Xiao Jing waved his hand and said with bright eyes.
"Aunt Xiangxiang, come quickly. There are delicious foods here."
As they were talking, the children tacitly made room for Chu Xiangxiang.
Chu Xiangxiang leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but frown.
"What is this?"
At this time, Xiao Yunfei had almost finished peeling the first one.
The bird's breast flesh was already showing.
It's a small piece of meat, but it looks firm and has a slightly reddish color.
Chu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment. Before anyone else could answer, she reacted first and asked with a look of surprise on her face.
"Is this a house sparrow?"
Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao were both stunned when they heard this, and then Su Miaomiao smiled.
"Sparrows are called house sparrows in the Northeast. Sister Xiangxiang is right. This is what they are."
Chu Xiangxiang smiled and said when she realized that she was right.
"Yes, we call this thing a house sparrow here, and some people call it a house thief."
She asked again.
"This thing is hard to catch. Where did you get it?"
"They're quite hard to catch," Xiao Yunfei continued. "I just caught a few with my slingshot, but many others got away."
Xiao Yunfei said it calmly, but Chu Xiangxiang was shocked when she heard it.
"What? Did you shoot this down with a slingshot?"
As she spoke, she sighed to herself.
"You're quite good then! This is the first time I've seen someone catch a house sparrow with a slingshot. My maternal uncle used to like catching house sparrows, but he always had to set traps to catch them."
Chu Xiangxiang's words served as a reminder to Xiao Yunfei.
He found that there were quite a lot of birds in the yard. If he used traps, he should be able to catch more, but if he used a slingshot, they would all be scared away in a short time.
Xiao Yunfei nodded and said.
"Well, setting a trap is fine. I'll try it tomorrow. If I can catch a few, it will be a good dish for our family."
he asked as he tore both breasts off.
"Who's going to eat first?"
House sparrows are not big in size, and there is not much edible meat on their bodies after they are roasted. Apart from the larger breast meat and a little meat on the two legs, the remaining larger pieces are the internal organs, and the heart and liver can be eaten.
Now that both breast pieces have been removed, there isn't much meat left.
When Xiao Yunfei said this, the children's thoughts were surprisingly consistent, and they all spoke subconsciously.
"Mom eats first."
"Give it to mother."
"Give it to mother and Aunt Xiangxiang first."
