"chicken?"
Xiao Kai asked in confusion, "Can you make delicious food using coconuts and chicken?"
Ruan Meng looked knowing; she knew they hadn't eaten it before!
"Little sister, what delicious food did you make?"
The second son entered the house and, seeing the unfamiliar dishes displayed in the kitchen, became curious.
Ruan Meng first served him a small bowl of spicy seaweed strips. The second son couldn't handle spicy food very well, so he stuck out his tongue slightly, but judging from his expression, he seemed to be very satisfied with the taste.
Ruan Meng changed the bowl and filled it halfway with mint and seaweed, and the second son exclaimed with satisfaction.
"Little sister, what is this? It's so delicious!"
"Sea stone flower".
"What? It's the seaweed you just picked from the back of the reef?"
The second son was shocked.
Xiao Kai laughed and said, "I was shocked too! I grew up by the sea and never knew that seaweed could be made into such a delicious dish!"
The second brother chimed in, "My sister is really amazing!"
Ruan Meng was thinking of sharing coconut water and coconut meat with her family since they had never tasted them before, when there was a knock on the door.
It turned out to be Feng Xi.
He handed it over, holding a free-range chicken in his hand.
"Little sister, my parents asked me to bring this free-range chicken to you."
"We also have two free-range chickens at home. They eat insects in the mountains, so they don't grow very big, but they taste alright."
"My mother plans to stew one tonight to nourish Ah Chun's body, so my parents asked me to bring the remaining one to nourish the eldest son. Please accept it!"
Ruan Meng accepted it without hesitation and stuffed it into her second brother's hand, which startled him!
Xiao Kai, quick-witted and agile, snatched the chicken from his hands. If Feng Xi hadn't tied the chicken's feet with a rope beforehand, they would have been scrambling to catch it, causing chaos and confusion...
Ruan Meng took out two plates, filled one with cold seaweed salad and the other with mint seaweed, and handed them to Feng Xi.
"Perfect timing, Second Brother is here, which saves us the trouble of taking him upstairs."
"This is made with seaweed, and it's suitable for both adults and children. It's a cold seaweed salad, so it's a bit spicy. Children should be careful when eating it."
Feng Xi was also quite surprised by the ingredients on the plate.
But since Ruan Meng said so, she must be right.
Before leaving, Feng Xi asked, "Do you need any help at the new house tonight?"
"It would be best to have two people guarding it, just for safety. Ideally, they should be somewhat skilled in martial arts."
"My brother has already made plans. He'll take the villagers to cut down trees early tomorrow morning, and I can help keep watch tonight..."
Hearing Feng Xi say this, Ruan Meng and Ruan Yi repeatedly declined, saying, "Thank you, Second Brother, you have already helped us enough!"
"We are already very grateful that Ah Chun has children to take care of and will help cut down trees tomorrow morning. Don't worry, we will make arrangements for keeping watch tonight!"
Xiao Kai volunteered, "Yes! I can help too!"
Seeing this, Feng Xi felt relieved and left.
Ruan Meng blew up the last three eggs and poured them into the sea urchin, then asked her second brother to give them to her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Xiao Kai was divided into two, and Ruan Meng kept one for her third brother.
Looking at the free-range chicken lying on the ground, Xiao Kai's eyes lit up. "Miss Meng, we have chickens now!"
Ruan Meng chuckled and asked him, "Can you kill a chicken?"
Xiao Kai nodded, and Ruan Meng explained, "I'm not ordering you around. Look at my second brother, he's easily frightened by a live chicken, and if you were to kill a chicken, he'd faint!"
Xiao Kai quickly rolled up his sleeves and started boiling water.
He turned his head and laughed, "We're all family, so it's fine to order people around! Miss, you've made so many delicious things for me, how could I not put in a little effort?"
Ruan Meng cut the coconut meat into small pieces. After Xiao Kai scalded the chicken feathers and cleaned the internal organs, he cut the chicken meat into pieces.
Pour the coconut water and coconut meat into a clean pot, add the cleaned chicken pieces, and simmer over low heat. (Coconut chicken, image from the internet) Looking at the remaining chicken giblets, Xiao Kai licked his lips, "We can't waste this, can we?"
Ruan Meng could tell that he was still dazed from eating stir-fried chicken giblets yesterday!
