The onlookers, looking at the old woman running away in disgrace, all gave Li Yan a thumbs up.
After the crowd dispersed, Lin Feng and his group returned to the courtyard.
After being away for a long time, this farmyard is more full of life. A chicken coop has been built in the originally bare yard. A group of half-grown chickens are happily pecking at the leaves on the ground. Several kinds of vegetables are planted in the open space on the other side, and they are growing very well!
After Lin Feng led his men to unload all the goods from the car into the house, the Yang brothers and Monkey led the livestock to the backyard to rest.
The originally empty backyard was also made into several vegetable plots. The horse that was not taken away last time was now chewing grass in the stable. The monkey happily walked forward and patted the horse that had become much stronger, thinking that this guy must be very comfortable here during this period.
After settling the livestock and feeding them some feed and water, the group returned to the front yard.
Guo Dalang's wife quickly cleared out a room so that everyone who had been traveling for many days could return to the house to rest.
After the room was tidy, she kept preparing food for everyone. She first asked Songzi to boil some water, then she walked to the chicken coop in three or two steps and caught two of the fattest ones. With a quick move of her knife, she gathered them all out in a short while.
After Li Yan finished cleaning up, she also came to the kitchen. At this time, the women were chopping chicken.
Seeing Li Yan coming, he hurriedly said: "Miss, you have been running around all the way and you must be tired. Go back to the house and rest. I can take care of it here!"
Li Yan rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile, "I'm not tired, they're the ones who are working hard. Is there anything I can help with?"
Seeing Li Yan's firm attitude, Guo's wife handed the vegetables she had just pulled from the ground to Li Yan: "Miss, if you have nothing to do, please help me wash the vegetables!"
Li Yan took the basket of vegetables, sat on the small stool in front of the door and started to get busy.
In the small kitchen, only the two daughters-in-law of the Guo family were busy in the kitchen. One was responsible for adding firewood to the stove, and the other was blanching the chopped chicken pieces in the pot.
After blanching, Guo's wife picked up the chicken and asked, "Miss, how do you want to eat this chicken?"
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's freezing cold, let's make some soup and drink it. It will warm everyone up!"
Upon hearing this, Guo's wife smiled and said, "That's great! We have some wild mushrooms we brought back from the mountains. They'd make a delicious soup out of them!"
After washing the wild mushrooms, the woman called Songzi over and handed him a few copper coins, saying, "Go to the street and buy two pieces of tofu!"
Songzi took the copper coins from his mother's hand and went out happily.
After the chicken soup was ready, Guo's wife took out a few eggs from the jar, beat them in the white flour, and made pancakes for everyone!
Soon, Songzi came back with two pieces of fresh tofu. He happily handed the tofu to his mother, then sat on the stool beside him, breathing heavily.
Guo Da's wife took the tofu from her son and scolded him, "Hey kid, why are you running so fast? Look at you panting!"
Songzi sniffed, looking eagerly at the boiling chicken soup in the pot, and said, "Mom, this chicken soup smells so good!"
When Guo's wife saw the children like this, she felt a little sad. She had raised so many chickens at home, but she had never been willing to kill one for the children to taste!
At this time, Li Yan brought over the washed vegetables: "Auntie, the vegetables are all washed, is there anything else to do?"
Guo Da's wife took the dish and waved her hand: "Girl, take a break first, wait for me to cook the dishes and then we can eat!"
After putting the stewed tofu on a plate, Guo's wife skillfully fried two side dishes and urged the children to call everyone out for dinner.
