Chapter 228 Killing Chicken
Tang Yichen walked out holding a chicken in one hand.
There are many guests today, and one chicken is not enough, so we have to kill three chickens.
Song Ruize held the chicken and waited for Tang Yixiao to put down the clean basin before he took a knife and cut the chicken's throat.
"Cock, cluck..." The rooster struggled, but there was a hole in its throat and blood flowed out of the wound and into the basin.
The rooster kicked a few times and then became completely motionless. It was thrown into the basin of boiling water next to it to have its feathers burned.
"Let me do this. You kids, don't touch it. Be careful not to get burned." Zhou hurried over to help.
"Don't underestimate this plucking job. If you pluck slowly or boil the hair for too long, it will get old and harder to pluck." Li Taohua said, "Let Aunt Zhou do it."
After Song Ruize killed a chicken, he looked at Tang Yichen and handed him the knife: "Is this chicken for you?"
Tang Yichen looked at him calmly: "What do you mean?"
"Are you really an incompetent scholar who can't even tie a chicken?" Song Ruize has grown up and can say a lot of sarcasm when he is mocking others.
Tang Yichen sneered, took the knife, and said to Tang Yi next to him: "Come here and hold its legs."
Tang Yi responded with a smile, controlling the chicken's moving legs with one hand and its wings with the other.
Tang Yichen grabbed the chicken by the neck.
Tang Luwu said worriedly: "My brother has never killed a chicken, will this work?"
Tang Yichen looked at Qin Huiyin and saw that she also had a worried look on her face. His eyes darkened and he stabbed the chicken with a knife.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck..." the chicken screamed.
Tang Yichen's heart softened, his hands trembled, and the half-dead chicken struggled out.
Tang Yixiao had been holding on tightly, but when the chicken blood spilled on the back of his hand and left a warm touch, he was a little scared for a moment and loosened his hand.
"Cluck, cluck..." The half-dead chicken struggled and ran around.
Qin Huiyin chased after it. Before she could catch the flapping chicken, Song Ruize strode over, grabbed the chicken's wings, and lifted it up.
He glanced at Tang Yichen with disdain, his eyes full of disdain.
Tang Yichen's face turned pale.
He felt annoyed at his incompetence just now.
"Again."
"Brother, forget it." Qin Huiyin said, "Every profession has its specialties. It's normal that you are not good at this."
"No, it's impossible for us to ask outsiders for help every time we kill chickens and ducks. I am the eldest son and the pillar of the family. These things are not difficult for me." Tang Yichen said as he took the chicken again.
Song Ruize didn't compete with him and let him continue killing.
Tang Yichen made up his mind and cut again. This time, the cut was much more decisive and cruel than the previous one. In addition, the half-dead chicken had lost a lot of blood and was already dying.
The second chicken finally died, but the only drawback was that no blood was left.
Tang Yichen continued to kill the third chicken. This time he was more experienced and killed it without blinking an eye. This time he did not hesitate and saved the chicken blood.
"Brother, you are awesome." Qin Huiyin gave a thumbs up. "This kind of work should be done by men. We don't have the courage."
Tang Luwu muttered: "Aren't you the one who usually kills fish and shrimps?"
As for chickens and ducks, Qin Huiyin had never killed them. Li Taohua always gave this kind of work to Tang Dafu. When Tang Dafu was not around, Song Tieniu and Zhang Sanjin could do it.
Master Tang San came in with a bucket and said, "You little ones, come and see what I have harvested."
Song Ruize walked over and took the bucket from Mr. Tang San's hand.
Third Master Tang was surprised and looked at Song Ruize with a smile: "Young people are really strong. It took me a lot of effort to lift it, but you can lift it without any effort at all."
Qin Huiyin poked her head out, looked at the eels in the bucket, and said, "Third Grandpa, I thought it was a fish, but it turned out to be an eel. It's not easy to catch. You're not working in the fields, are you? You're so old, you can't stand the cold."
"Don't worry, your grandfather is in good health!" Mr. Tang San said with a smile, "Today we are warming up the house, and you have prepared a room for me. I have to make some contributions to my new home. Look, in addition to eels, there are also loaches and the like."
"This is good stuff." Qin Huiyin said, "You caught so many, it must have taken you a long time. You went to catch eels and loaches so early in the morning, what if you got cold?"
"Taohua, please take care of your daughter. She is so young, why is she nagging like an old woman?" Mr. Tang San complained.
Li Taohua was picking vegetables nearby and said, "There are two people in charge of our family, one is Chen Ge'er, and the other is her. She is the head of the family, and we can't say anything to her."
The people nearby laughed.
Qin Huiyin muttered: "If you continue to do this, I won't let you drink alcohol recently. No matter how delicious these eels and loaches are, I won't let you eat them as snacks."
"You can't do this, kid..." When Master Tang San heard that he was not allowed to make any snacks or drink, he immediately quit. "The fried fish and shrimp I made last time were delicious, so you can make the loach the same way."
"Then you can't go into the water to catch loaches anymore."
"Okay, I won't catch you."
Loaches and eels need time to be processed, otherwise there will be mud and sand. I can't eat them at noon today. Let them spit out the mud and sand first, and then eat them in the evening.
Qin Huiyin took Song Ruize to deal with the eels and loaches, while Tang Yichen and his three sisters took care of killing the chickens.
Zhou looked at Qin Huiyin and Song Ruize talking while working by the well, and said in a low voice: "This child is quite good. Your Yinyin is so lucky, everyone likes her. The Song family kid is usually so cold, but he is as obedient as a lamb in front of her."
"That's because we Yinyin treat him well. I misjudged him before, thinking he was just a little wolf cub who I could never tame no matter how hard I tried. But even if he is a wolf cub, he won't hurt his companions. Wolves are very loyal animals, they are very protective of their own shortcomings, and they have a strong sense of family honor. The wolf king will protect his own wolf pack. Don't you think he is very similar to him?"
"Taohua, you are so smart. I seem to understand nothing."
Li Taohua was stunned for a moment.
Is she smart?
"Only a beautiful and smart woman like you can give birth to such a beautiful and smart child."
Li Taohua laughed dryly: "How can it be as good as you say?"
She looked at Qin Huiyin.
There is indeed her shadow in the child's eyebrows, but only she knows that it is not because she gave birth to her, but because the two of them have been together for a long time and have become more and more alike.
Besides, good-looking people always have similarities. She is so pretty, and her Yinyin is also so pretty, so of course they look more like mother and daughter.
She was sure that when her Yinyin grew up, she would be more beautiful than this vulgar girl. After all, she was that man's child. That man was the bright moon in the sky!
Qin Huiyin knew that Song Ruize was uncomfortable with other people, so she pulled him into the kitchen and asked him to help.
