Chapter 203 I Will Defeat You One Day
For tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, even if we don't have a full banquet, it must include both meat and vegetables. Murong De is even more demanding in his pursuit of perfection, and he even wants to add some snacks. This way, there will be more work to do.
"Although there is a lot of beef, we can't just eat beef on the table. The chicken coop in front has just hatched two broods of chicks, so we'll catch a rooster and kill it. That rooster is very fierce, always bullying the hens, making them run around everywhere, and also fighting with other roosters, so we'll eat it."
Murong De went to the chicken coop with Zhao Neng early to catch chickens, while Jiang Yang took Wang Su to the fish pond to catch fresh fish. He Shouyi said that there must be a fish in the New Year's Eve dinner, which means there will be surplus every year.
"Bai Shuang, let me knead the dough, I can do it." Su Ying walked over and saw Bai Shuang kneading the dough and wanted to help. When Bai Shuang saw her coming over, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry and went to the side with the basin in her arms.
"Madam, there's no need. I can warm the horse over here and put it next to the stove to wake it up before using it." The implication is that you should not make things more complicated.
Su Ying rubbed her nose. She thought her cooking skills were pretty good.
Su Ying rushed into the kitchen again. Seeing He Shouyi preparing the meat filling, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to go forward. However, as soon as she approached, He Shouyi quickly brought the meat filling to the side and covered it.
Su Ying: “…”
He Shouyi turned around and looked at Su Ying with a smile, "Madam, why are you here? There is nothing I can help you with here. Why don't you go to the backyard and see that Aunt Jiang is making pickles and seems to be short of help."
Make pickles? That's good. She really likes the pickles made by Aunt Jiang.
Su Ying rushed out of the kitchen again. Seeing her leave, He Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief, "It was a close call, otherwise the pot of meat filling might have been ruined."
Su Ying ran to the back garden happily. There was a large piece of open space where vegetables were planted. However, the vegetables had been harvested two days ago. Aunt Jiang dried the harvested vegetables these two days and prepared to put them into jars. Otherwise, there would be so many that they could not be eaten in a short time and would go bad and be wasted.
"Auntie Jiang, are you short of manpower?"
Aunt Jiang looked up at Su Ying and said with a smile, "Madam, if you have nothing to do, please help me move these jars to the cellar. The vegetables have already been packed."
"become."
Su Ying held the jar in both hands and went straight into the cellar.
Mother Zhao took out the melon seeds and peanuts she had bought from the basket. The New Year would feel complete without these things.
"Grandma Zhao, I want to eat peanuts." When Erbao saw Mother Zhao bringing out the food, he rushed into the house. His eager movements were very similar to Su Ying.
Mother Zhao grabbed a handful of peanuts and placed them lovingly in her hand. "Good girl, take them and eat them. But be careful when you eat them. Don't let them get stuck. Chew slowly, okay?"
"Got it, Grandma Zhao. I'm going to go play now."
"Go ahead, be careful."
"I know."
Erbao ran out and came to Dabao and Lin Sheng.
The two men were standing about ten steps away from the tiger at this time, and several pairs of curious eyes were staring at the tiger lying lazily on the ground.
The tiger also noticed their presence, but obviously it didn't take these little kids seriously.
Dabao looked at the tiger and tentatively moved his feet towards it.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother Ji'er, don't get too close. Madam said that this big tiger has not been completely tamed yet. What if it jumps up and hurts someone?"
Dabao stopped when he heard that. "Then I'll just watch from here. I won't get close."
Lin Sheng was afraid that he would get closer, so she held his hand tightly.
Erbao brought over a small stool and was peeling the peanuts in his pocket and eating them with relish.
The "crunching" sound of the little mouth attracted the tiger's attention.
The tiger slowly raised his head and looked at Erbao.
Erbao was so scared that the peanuts in his hand dropped. He jumped up from the chair and hid behind Lin Sheng.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Ling'er. I will protect you."
Lin Sheng was so scared that his thin body tensed up, but he still bravely stood in front of his younger brother and sister.
Erbao poked his little head out from behind Lin Sheng, "Brother Lin Sheng, do you think it wants to eat peanuts too?"
Lin Sheng said with a tense face: "Sister Ling'er, tigers don't eat peanuts, they only want to eat meat!"
Erbao's eyes widened in fear, "Wow, tiger, please don't eat my meat."
"Ling'er, don't run, be careful not to fall..." Seeing Erbao running away in fear, Lin Sheng quickly chased after him.
Dabao didn't leave, but stood there, as if confronting a tiger.
The tiger's ears moved, and it turned to look at Dabao, then slowly shifted its gaze away, obviously not taking Dabao seriously.
Dabao seemed to be irritated by the tiger's attitude. He pursed his lips, clenched his fists and slowly moved towards the tiger.
The wolf king who was guarding the tiger saw Dabao approaching, so he stood up from the ground, walked towards Dabao, and blocked his way, as if he didn't want him to go any further.
Dabao mustered up his courage and said, "I, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid! I won't go in front of it. My mother said it can't bite me from here."
The wolf king moved his ears, as if analyzing Dabao's intention, but when he saw Dabao standing there and not moving forward, he did not move.
"Big Tiger, I'm not afraid of you. One day I will defeat you like my mother did!" Dabao clenched his fists and loudly declared war on the tiger.
Lao Hu La drooped his eyelids, looked at Da Bao slowly, then opened his mouth towards him. His bloody mouth was so big that it could almost swallow Da Bao's head.
Dabao was extremely scared, but he gritted his teeth and didn't retreat.
He is not afraid, he will definitely defeat it!
"Just wait, huh!" Dabao said, turned around and ran away.
When the wolf king saw the little guy running away, he glanced at the tiger coldly, and his eyes met the tiger's. When their eyes met, both sides looked at each other with caution and contempt.
The wolf king suddenly turned around and farted at the tiger, then went to hibernate by the side.
This little incident that went unnoticed did not affect the cheerful atmosphere of the day in the slightest. Everyone was immersed in the lively atmosphere and had a rare moment of relaxation.
Su Ying helped Aunt Jiang collect all the vegetable jars before returning to the front yard and sitting down.
Since no one wanted her help, she just sat in the room with her legs crossed and ate melon seeds.
Not long after Su Ying sat down, someone knocked on the courtyard door.
Now, except for her and the children, everyone else in the house was busy, so she had to get up and open the door.
Su Ying spat out the melon seed shell, opened the cat's eye and looked out.
