Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had no objections, "Then go and catch it!"
After Ji Kangyong left, Zhang Heping said, "You guys don't know, Old Ji is amazing. He not only raised those first few chickens exceptionally well, but he also hatched more than twenty chicks. If I didn't know him well, I would have suspected that he ran a chicken farm."
Shen Yanming asked in surprise, "Doesn't the house smell?"
"It's alright. All the chickens are kept in one room, which is well-ventilated all day. Old Ji is very clean; he puts waste newspapers, cardboard boxes, and plastic sheets under the chicken coops to keep them clean, just to avoid getting his floor dirty."
"Where did he get so many chicken coops?"
"I don't know either, I guess someone made it up."
"Woven? Made of bamboo?"
"Maybe so. Oh, don't ask me. Ask him when he comes up."
Shen Yanming nodded. "Honestly, he didn't even tell me." There were several chicken coops in the space. If he had known the other party needed them, he could have easily taken out one or two.
"Cough, it's alright, Lao Ji is very capable. If he doesn't say anything, it proves that he can handle it himself and there's no need to trouble everyone."
As the two were talking, they heard a knock at the door. Shen Yanming went to open it and let Ji Kangyong in.
"Rooster, okay? We need to keep the hens at home to lay eggs."
“Sure, why not? It’s all meat anyway.” Shen Yanming didn’t care.
Ji Kangyong nodded and stood at the door without moving. Seeing Zhang Heping's leisurely demeanor, he sneered and shouted, "Hey Zhang, come here and kill the chicken!"
Zhang Heping was taken aback and was very puzzled. "You can kill it yourself, why did you call me?"
"That's because you're a professional!"
Zhang Heping stood up but didn't move, looking at Ji Kangyong in disbelief. "So you're not a professional? Isn't that the biggest joke in the world? You can kill people, while I'm a surgeon, at most I dissect mice. How can those be the same?"
Ji Kangyong frowned. "Who told you I killed someone? How many policemen have actually taken down a criminal?" In all his years in the profession, he had never had a life on his hands. At most, he had only handled corpses.
Before Zhang Heping could say anything, Bi Qiaoan stepped forward and snatched the chicken from Ji Kangyong's hand.
"If you keep arguing like this, the daylily will get cold. Alright, I'll kill it."
Zhang Heping's eyes widened. "Old Shen, is your wife joking?"
"No, my Qiao An is just stating the facts!"
"No way, is this cute and cuddly little girl going to transform into a ruthless female butcher?"
Shen Yanming chuckled, "You probably don't know how much the guard team can transform a person! If you don't work harder, my two kids might surpass you."
Zhang Heping retorted, "Even if you have excellent knife skills, what good are they if you can't treat medicine?"
Shen Yan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "What an idiot."
His family has a spiritual spring, fruits imbued with spiritual energy, and various medicinal pills; they could probably cure most ailments.
However, doctors have their own strengths; they can reconnect bones and tendons and remove lesions, which he, a half-baked doctor, cannot match.
"See, you're not saying anything now, hehehe, you just want me to compare my expertise with yours!" Zhang Heping said smugly.
Shen Yanming ignored him and went into the kitchen. Ji Kangyong looked at the two chubby little ones in the living room and went over to talk to them.
Zhang Heping felt like he had been hit with a thousand points of damage by being given the cold shoulder.
I glanced at the well-behaved An'an and Nuan'nuan, and listened to the sounds of chickens being slaughtered coming from the kitchen. After thinking for a moment, I went over anyway.
A spray of blood splattered and flowed down the sink into the sewer. A short while later, the rooster was lifeless.
Bi Qiaoan put the chicken into the boiling water, counted the time, and only took the chicken out when the water was no longer scalding, plucking the feathers one by one.
Shen Yanming didn't help, but prepared some scallions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry later.
Plucking feathers is a delicate task, but Bi Qiaoan had done it too many times, so she quickly got a smooth, white-skinned chicken.
"Hey Qiao An, how many times have you practiced? Your movements are so smooth!"
While removing the internal organs, Bi Qiaoan said, "Many times, I've trained all sorts of small animals. Now I can kill chickens, fish, rabbits, and even snakes."
However, the instructors forbade us to eat snakes, saying they contained too many parasites. We were only allowed to eat them as a last resort, and even then, they had to be cooked thoroughly for several hours.
The original quote also included the line: "When you reach the end of your rope, you must understand that society will inevitably suffer an unbearable blow. At that time, there will be a shortage of medical care and medicine, and if you fall ill, you can only wait to die."
Therefore, you must all cherish your bodies and not eat everything in sight like cavemen. Our goal is to survive while also being as healthy as possible.
Zhang Heping nodded, "That's true, you can't just eat whatever you want." He had seen many cases during his school years where people got sick because they couldn't control their eating habits, and the cause of their illnesses remained elusive for many years.
"Yeah, but I was so hungry I could barely stand it. I'd even eat grass roots and tree bark. The most important thing for a person is to survive."
Zhang Heping smiled and said, "Now I really think you guys made the right choice in changing jobs. Even I want to transfer to your medical team. You've trained a bunch of super soldiers!"
Bi Qiaoan said modestly, "Ahem, you flatter me. I'm still far from it. But the guard team does have many big shots with super strong survival skills. I feel that as long as we stick close to them, we won't have to be afraid of any natural disasters."
Shen Yanming coughed twice, wanting to say, "Wife, you don't need to fawn over them. With your husband here, even if he's not some big shot, he can protect you."
But he was too embarrassed to say such shameless things, so he could only express his dissatisfaction in a slightly different way.
Bi Qiaoan suppressed a laugh and didn't continue the previous topic. By the time Shen Yanming had added oil and sautéed the scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers until fragrant, the diced chicken had already been blanched and drained.
Shen Yanming added the chicken and started stir-frying. Soon, the aroma filled the living room.
Upon smelling it, Ji Kangyong could only say, "There's a real difference between those raised on grains and those raised on hormones; they smell so good!"
An'an and Nuannuan sniffed and stared longingly at the kitchen, wanting to eat!
Ji Kangyong's heart melted at the longing in their eyes. Seeing that the three in the kitchen showed no sign of coming out, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly extended his hand, wanting a hug!
An'an felt her waist being wrapped around her, but she wasn't afraid. She looked at Ji Kangyong with a smile and sweetly called him "Uncle".
Ji Kangyong feels that if he had two such adorable children, his life would be worthwhile.
An'an is quite mischievous. When he noticed that the uncle was only gently supporting him and not holding him, he took the initiative to stretch out his little arms.
Ji Kangyong hesitated for a moment, then picked up the two children and placed them on his lap. One on each side, he wrapped his arms around them.
I didn't touch it with my hands, so it should be fine, right?
I love it so much, I don't want to part with it!
