Looking at the chickens scattered all over the ground, Xu Haiguo was at a loss.
Their rubber boat was only so big; it carried five of them, and there probably wasn't enough space left for the chickens.
If you ask everyone to give up these chickens, no one would be willing to do so.
"Then let's kill them first and take them back!"
Xu Lai made the final decision; it seemed she would have to find a way to retrieve one of the assault boats from the space later.
Having finally managed to get out of the house today, Xu Lai still wanted to visit the chemical refinery located southeast of Wangtai Mountain.
Killing so many chickens is no easy task.
The chickens had to be killed and bled, their feathers plucked, and their internal organs opened up to clean them.
The group decided to take all the chickens to the farmhouse kitchen.
Xu Haiguo was in charge of killing the chicken and bleeding it, Xu Lai and her brother and Li Qingya were in charge of plucking the feathers, and Xiao Rui was in charge of gutting and cleaning the internal organs.
Fortunately, the kitchen was fully equipped with all kinds of tools, which made the task much easier.
Xu Haiguo picked up several kitchen knives and tried them out, then chose one that suited his hand.
He walked a few steps to where the chickens were kept, squatted down, picked up a chicken in one hand and a knife in the other, and with a swift stroke, the chicken in his hand was dead.
This chicken blood is a valuable commodity, and Xu Haiguo was reluctant to waste it.
He took a basin in advance, washed it with a bucket of purified water he found in the main hall, and put some of the salt that had already solidified on the stove into the basin.
Then I poured in some purified water to dissolve the salt, and then poured all the chicken blood into the salt water.
The blood from these thirty-odd chickens filled a large basin.
After collecting the chicken blood, stir it slightly with chopsticks and wait for it to coagulate automatically.
Half an hour later, the chicken blood had coagulated, and Xu Haiguo used the stove in the kitchen to start boiling water.
When the water is about 80% boiled, put the chicken blood into the boiling water and cook for one or two minutes, then take it out. The chicken blood cubes are now ready.
Chicken blood tofu, spicy blood curd, or stir-fried chicken blood are all delicious dishes.
When Xu Haiguo killed the first chicken, Xu Lai and the others started boiling water and scalded the killed chicken in the boiling water to make it easier to pluck the feathers.
Xiao Rui truly lives up to his reputation as a surgeon; he can perform the task of gutting a chicken quickly and skillfully.
Xiao Rui kept all the chicken's internal organs, including the intestines, except for the dirty parts inside.
I thought it would take a lot of effort to process these chickens, but the five of us worked together so well today that we finished processing them in less than three hours.
Of course, the fine feathers on the chicken skin weren't removed during the plucking process, which was too time-consuming; I'll deal with them when I get home.
After processing the 38 chickens, they were all placed in the storage boxes and plastic buckets that were found.
After Xu Lai left the kitchen last, she put all the usable items, such as the three gas cylinders, the gas stove, pots and pans, into her space.
This time, apart from the chickens and eggs that Xu Lai put into her space, the others only took away the alcohol pot and solid alcohol that Xiao Rui and the others found.
Before leaving, Li Qingya looked at the other things in the main hall of the farmhouse with regret for a long time, lamenting that they couldn't take them with them.
The group carried their belongings down the mountain via a shortcut that was perpendicular to the ground.
Xu Lai explained that she placed the rubber boat in the woods at the exit of the shortcut.
"I'll go and set up the rubber boat first, then I'll come and meet you!"
As they approached the exit, Xu Lai went down ahead of time.
Upon reaching the exit, she turned around and saw that the people behind her hadn't caught up yet, so she took out a large speedboat from her spatial storage.
She also tied the rubber boat she had used before to the stern of the assault boat with a rope.
Finally, Xu Lai took out a rope, tied one end to the speedboat and the other end to a big tree by the water, then bent down and put his legs down to the knees into the water, wetting his trousers and shoes.
Having done all that, she got up and hurried to greet her father and the others.
"We've had the luck of the day!"
Upon seeing Xiao Rui and the others, Xu Lai deliberately greeted them with an excited expression and continued, "When I was looking for the rubber boats just now, I actually found a large assault boat. Moreover, not only is this assault boat usable, but its fuel tank is also full!"
After hearing Xu Lai's words, Xu Haiguo and Xu Chao guessed that the assault boat was probably taken out of Xu Lai's spatial storage.
However, Xiao Rui and Li Qingya were unaware that Xu Lai possessed a spatial ability, let alone that she had speedboats stored in her spatial warehouse.
Hearing this tremendous good news, even the usually composed Xiao Rui became excited.
"Really? That's great!"
Needless to say, Li Qingya was so happy she shouted out loud.
Before this torrential rain disaster, she knew nothing about things like rubber boats or speedboats.
During this time, when her phone had internet access, she also used it to look up information about "floods and water transportation".
She then realized that the speedboat was not only fast, but also much larger in terms of space and weight capacity than the rubber boat.
It will be much more convenient to go out from now on.
However, the speedboat's engine uses diesel fuel, so they need to find a way to prepare more diesel.
"Looks like we'll have to check out the nearby chemical refinery today!"
Clearly, Xiao Rui had also thought of this.
Xiao Rui believed that he was the best in physical fitness among them and should take on more responsibility, so he took the initiative to drive the speedboat this time.
It was his first time driving this thing, and after a few tries, he was able to get the speedboat moving normally on the water.
It seems that operating a speedboat is much easier than driving a car.
With the speedboat, the speed was much faster, and the group arrived at the chemical refinery in no time.
