Chapter 970 The Prosperity of Ancient Farmers 5

Xia Yichu looked back at Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao who were standing by the door, and said, "Go wash your hands first, and then eat."

Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao nodded quickly and ran towards the well in the yard.

There was water in the bucket next to the well. The two of them took the ladle and filled some water out. After quickly washing their hands, they rushed back to the kitchen.

"Second sister, we've finished washing!"

Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao kept talking.

Xia Yichu was already distributing food. She distributed millet porridge spoonful by spoonful among the four rice bowls in front of her.

After the distribution was completed, Xia Yichu put the wild vegetables and eggs that he had just fried into everyone's bowls according to the portions.

"Move, this is yours, take it as you like. I'll give this bowl to dad." Xia Yichu said to them, took the bowl with the most rice porridge, took the chopsticks, and went to Su Zhenghe's room.

When Xia Yichu came back, the two little guys were like two little piglets, holding bowls and sitting under the eaves outside the kitchen and started eating, humming about how delicious they were.

The portions of rice porridge and wild vegetables are not much, just four small bowls.

After finishing eating, Su Jiabao was still very unfinished. He held the bowl and looked up at Xia Yichu: "Second sister, is there anything else in the pot?"

"No more, I'll give you some." Xia Yichu said, pouring the rest of the bowl towards him.

"No, no need." Su Jiabao quickly held up his bowl and avoided it. The second sister had already given him noodles to eat this morning. He couldn't always ask for the second sister's food and leave the second sister hungry. abdomen.

"Come here, I'm full. If you don't want it, I'll take it and pour it out." Xia Yichu said, and even stood up on purpose, as if he really wanted to pour it out.

Su Jiabao believed Xia Yichu's words and immediately handed the bowl over: "No, don't pour it down. Second sister, I want it, I want it."

Xia Yichu divided the remaining portion in his bowl into two portions and poured them into Su Jiabao and Su Zhaodi.

After eating, Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao took the initiative to apply to wash the dishes.

Xia Yichu was originally unwilling, but after seeing that they were doing well, he followed them.

There was still a fire burning on the stove. Xia Yichu added some water to the pot and started to light the fire.

After Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao washed the dishes and chopsticks, the water in Xia Yichu's place was boiled. She asked Su Zhaodi to go to Su Zhenghe's room to take out the pheasant.

Xia Yichu didn't know how to kill chickens, she had just seen others kill chickens.

So, she cut off the chicken's head with one sharp move.

Everything happened naturally. Xia Yichu threw the chicken into the boiling water and scalded it. After seeing that it was almost done, he took it out and started plucking the feathers.

Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao were full of enthusiasm, plucking their hair quickly with their four little paws.

After stripping off all the fur, Xia Yichu took a knife and cut open the chicken bit by bit, and then cleaned the contents inside.

She is now small and weak, just a chicken, but she actually spent most of the afternoon.

Xia Yichu also found some potatoes in the corner of the kitchen. She picked out some large potatoes, washed them, and peeled them one by one.

Then, Xia Yichu went to the vegetable field behind and picked all the vegetables she would use for cooking in the evening before returning.

Seeing the sunset, Xia Yichu walked into the kitchen and started to light a fire to cook.

What Xia Yichu planned to cook this time was chicken stewed with potatoes.

First put a pot with cold water, put the chicken pieces that have been cut into it, and then throw in the ginger slices, green onions and other ingredients.

Then cover the pot, cook for a while, take out all the chicken inside, and pour away the water.

Wash the chicken again and put it on a plate. Xia Yichu sets up the pot, throws the chicken fat cubes in, and slowly refines the oil over low heat.

If Liu Xia were here, seeing so much oil in the pot, she would definitely fish some out, but Xia Yichu didn't. She poured all the remaining chicken in, and the smell of the meat suddenly wafted out.

Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao, who didn't know when, had walked in from the door, staring at the chicken nuggets in the pot without blinking, and drooling.

Xia Yichu took the spoon and stir-fried quickly. After all the aroma of the chicken came out, Xia Yichu put in all the star anise, onion, ginger, garlic and other things.

After stirring again for a while, Xia Yichu began to add water to it.

Originally, chili peppers were supposed to be put in at this time, but because Su Zhenghe's leg was injured, Xia Yichu didn't put them in.

Xia Yichu cooked the food in an orderly manner. After stewing the chicken for a while, Xia Yichu opened the lid again, poured in the potatoes that had been cut next to it, and then continued to stew.

The smell of chicken is getting stronger and stronger. Fortunately, Su Zhenghe's family lives in a relatively remote location and there is no one nearby. Otherwise, everyone would have come to their door after smelling the smell.

However, no neighbor nearby could smell it, but Su Zhenghe, who was sitting on the bed, could smell it clearly.

Not to mention Su Zhaodi and Su Jiabao, even Su Zhenghe had never smelled such an alluring fragrance in his life.

It smells better than the restaurant outside.

Su Zhenghe endured it for a while, but still couldn't hold it back. He called Su Jiabao's name several times.

Su Jiabao heard this, looked up at the pot with the lid still on, turned around and ran to Su Zhenghe's room.

"Dad, what's going on?" Su Jiabao ran in and asked hurriedly.

"Who is cooking?" Su Zhenghe asked.

He looked at the sky outside. At this time, it was not dark yet.

Liu Xia and Su Mei should not be back yet.

"Second sister! Dad, you can smell it too, right? It smells so good, I really want to eat it!" Su Jiabao took a deep breath with a greedy look on his face.

Su Zhenghe already had a suspicion in his mind, but he really didn't expect that it was his second daughter cooking? She is only ten years old now!

Su Zhenghe was shocked.

The sun was approaching sunset, and Liu Xia and Su Mei were walking home after a day of farm work.

Su Mei sniffed fiercely and said to Liu Xia: "Mom, do you smell it? It smells so good. It seems to be wafting from our house."

"What are you talking about? Does it smell good or not?" Liu Xia looked confused.

"Meat, it smells so delicious." Su Mei took a deep breath and continued, "It also tastes like potatoes."

Liu Xia turned to look at Su Mei with a shocked look on her face. Her eldest daughter must have been starving.

However, as the two of them walked closer and closer to home, the smell in the air became stronger and stronger.

Even Liu Xia smelled it.

"It's strange. It really smells like meat. Could it be that your grandma is here?" Liu Xia turned to Su Mei and said. Both of them looked confused and involuntarily accelerated their pace home.
