The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Chapter 44 The whole family kills chickens

"Yes, we also went to the town to check. Food is the most important thing for people. She originally planned to sell pancakes, but later gave up because she thought the cost was too high and it was difficult to sell staple food."

"So what is she going to sell?" The village chief was curious. His family had been in business for many years and he knew very well that it was not easy to run a small business.

"We looked around and thought about frying the fish. Of course, this business wouldn't last long, as there weren't many fish in the river.

But this fish is caught by ourselves, so it takes some oil and time. Even if we sell it cheaply, we can still make a profit.

Even if you can’t sell this, you can still have a way out by giving it away or eating it at home.”

"Fish? What fish? Whitebait. There are only a few of those fish in the river, and they're hard to catch."

"No, it's crucian carp. My mother makes delicious fried fish and crispy fish. Master Qi, let's go catch some later. When we're done, bring it to you and you'll know how delicious it is."

Yuan Mo's eyes light up when he talks about food.

"Oh, that fish has a lot of bones. I heard from the elders that people have died from eating it."

Zhou Yue guessed that someone might have had a fish bone stuck in his throat while eating fish, and the village had no first aid method, so the person's throat became swollen and he suffocated to death.

Similar things also happened in later times when medical care was advanced.

Although the probability is small, it does happen from time to time.

“If you fry the spines until they are crispy or stew them until they are soft, you don’t have to worry about them getting stuck.

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I promise I won't get in the way."

"That's fine. I'll wait and try it." said the village chief.

"Okay, you guys do this first, and when you have the capital, come to the county to find me and see if I can do anything."

Ning Yuanshan also said that what he said was actually just politeness. It was difficult for a man to do business, let alone a woman.

The young person is full of energy and is fearless. Once she has done something, hit a wall, and been beaten up by the smart people in the business world, she will know what to do.

Just watch.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yue and Yuan Mo stood up and said goodbye.

When I got home, I was busy.

The first thing is to kill the chicken.

Old Man Ning was reluctant to use chickens to treat his illness at first because he was stingy with the money.

Zhou Yue complained in his heart, you see you eat a chicken every day. If you knew that Panax notoginseng is many times more expensive than chicken, would you be even more unwilling to take medicine?

When Old Man Ning heard that Doctor Yang also thought highly of this prescription, he reluctantly agreed to give it a try.

We agreed to try the roosters at home, and if there is no effect, we won’t try it anymore.

Zhou Yue carefully touched Old Man Ning's legs and also communicated with Doctor Yang.

Old man Ning’s legs have never healed properly because he is too old and his healing ability is poor.

Fortunately, I didn't connect it wrong. If I did, I would have to interrupt the call and reconnect it, which would have been a real pain.

As long as the medicine is used to speed up the healing process, Old Man Ning’s leg will get better.

His good leg was simply affected by his bad leg. As long as the bad leg recovers and he exercises more, it will get better.

Of course, this requires medication and exercise.

It is impossible for the old man to exercise. Zhou Yue has made up his mind to exercise using the method that Old Man Ning can best accept.

That's carpentry work.

All the tools have been bought, and there is some ready-made wood at home. Zhou Yue wants Old Man Ning and Yang Mo to make a donkey cart together.

Although I have a wheelbarrow at home, I can use it when I go to the fields.

But Qingmo will do business in the future and will have more opportunities to go to town. The main road is far and the small road is unsafe.

With a donkey cart, it is no problem to travel back and forth between the village and the town many times a day.

Of course Yuan Mo had to be the one to kill the chicken. He caught a big rooster, and Chun Niang boiled water in the kitchen.

Yuan Mo took the kitchen knife from home and walked forward, wanting to kill the chicken.

But my God, he never killed a chicken.

In the past, it was my grandfather who killed the chickens, but ever since his leg was broken, our family hasn’t had any meat.

A few days ago, my mother prepared dumplings and fish for everyone. They were the best meals we had had in the past year.

He held the knife, trembling, and imitated his grandfather, stepping on the chicken's neck.

He gestured for a long time but didn't do it.

Judging from the situation, even if he did it, the chicken would probably fly around covered in blood.

I can’t imagine that scene.

Old Man Ning was carried out of the house by his grandson again. He was pounding his legs and teaching his grandson how to do it.

But Yuan Mo only knows how to tend the land and really doesn't know how to kill chickens.

Even when it comes to cleaning small fish, he is not as skillful as his younger brothers and sisters.

After hesitating for a while, he finally didn't dare to do it.

Xuan Mo said: "I'll do it."

Xuan Mo caught the knife in a very handsome manner and stepped on the chicken's neck without hesitation, but when he cut it with the knife, the thing he was worried about still happened.

Only a small cut was made and the chicken struggled hard, finally breaking free and escaping.

There was a lot of commotion and Dao Ge was very happy. He saw everyone catching chickens and thought they were playing a game, so he started chasing the chickens too.

The chicken was in pain and fear, and ran desperately, flying up from time to time.

A group of people were chasing and fluttering, and the yard was full of chicken feathers and blood.

The water in Chunniang's big clay pot has been boiled several times, and the chicken over there is still alive and kicking.

Zhou Yue sat on the small stool, breathing heavily. Seeing that Old Man Ning was about to stand up in a hurry, he smiled.

If there are just a few more urgent matters, the old man will probably get better on his own.

Zhou Yue suddenly had an idea and pulled Yang Mo back to the house and muttered to himself.

Qing Mo saw that his mother and sister were not doing their jobs, so he called out a few times.

After a while, Zhou Yue and Yang Mo drew a picture of a wheelchair and some exploded diagrams.

Zhou Yue only knew its purpose, but she didn't understand its structure.

Just leave it to Old Man Ning and Yang Mo to decide how to make it.

When Zhou Yue and Yang Mo walked out of the house, they saw Xu Junmo wiping his dagger.

When Qingmo wanted to return the dagger to Song Yuan, Song Yuan gave it to Junmo instead.

Jun Mo seemed to be uninterested in anything except this dagger, which he carried around like a treasure.

This means, after using the dagger to kill wild boars, you now use it to kill chickens?

I wonder if Song Yuan would cry if he knew that his precious dagger was used as a knife to kill chickens and pigs.

The poor rooster was being plucked in a wooden basin of boiling water.

Zhou Yue hurried forward and instructed Yuan Mo to cut off the two chicken legs, removing as much meat as possible from the chicken legs.

Only two almost bare chicken leg bones were left.

Then he took a clean clay pot, placed it on a small clay stove, added water, a chicken leg bone, and some Panax notoginseng powder, brought it to a boil over high heat, and then simmered it over low heat.

Boil four bowls of water into one bowl of water.

When serving, add a little salt and let the patient drink it in one breath.

Take one chicken leg bone twice a day.

Zhou Yue was lighting a fire and looking at the many pieces of pork hanging on the stove.

This must be the meat forest.

All that’s missing is a wine pool.

You can brew wine, though. I'll ask when I have time whether private individuals can brew and sell wine.

There is not much work left to do in the fields. It is almost autumn and all the weeds have been pulled out.

In a dozen days or so, it will be the autumn harvest, the most tiring time of the year.

Everyone rest at home for a few days and prepare for the autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, Xuan Mo will go to the county school, and then he will live there.

The school is on vacation at this time, that is, two days off every ten days.

In addition to doing housework and chores at home, Zhou Yue seizes every opportunity to teach the children.

The quality of food at home has skyrocketed recently.

It was either small fish, wild boar meat, and a chicken every day.

Chunniang is pregnant and needs nutrition, Old Man Ning is sick and needs to eat better, Xuanmo is studying hard and needs to have more midnight snacks, and the youngest Junmo is skinny and needs to gain weight.

Everyone has a reason to eat better, so the chicken without leg bones went into everyone's stomach.
