Liu Danan patted Liu Daxi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Daxi, you are really brave today. You insisted on coming back to help even after falling like that. I admire you."

Liu Daxi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "No, we are all here to get things done. How can I back down from this?"

At this time, Ye Mei and other women came in with steaming hot soup and distributed bowls of soup to everyone.

As the men drank the soup, the warm feeling spread along their throats into their stomachs, making them feel much more comfortable.

When the women saw that their husbands and sons were fine, they finally let go of the worries they had been worrying about.

Chen Dafeng looked at Liu Daxi's face full of red spots and wiped her tears with heartache. She also kept complaining to Liu Qiang for not taking good care of his son. Liu Qiang felt bad too and remained silent.

Liu Daxi repeatedly comforted Chen Dafeng and told him that he was fine, and only then did Chen Dafeng stop crying.

On the other side, Su Yue, along with Nanny Yang, Rendong, Liu Cui and several other maids, also came to the livestock house and were about to pick a yellow cow.

Several yellow cattle were mooing in the corner, as if they also felt the depressing atmosphere of the wind and rain.

Su Yue stood in front of the cows, frowned slightly, and looked at them carefully, with a serious look in her eyes.

She thought to herself that if she wanted to eat, she had to choose a strong cow.

Seeing that Su Yue had been looking between the cows for a long time, Madam Yang asked, "Miss, are you sure which one it is?"

Su Yue shook her head and said, "I feel like they all look the same."

Honeysuckle on the side came over and said with a smile: "Girl, look at this one, it looks fat and strong."

Su Yue looked in the direction that Ren Dong pointed. To be honest, she felt that they were all the same. After thinking about it, she nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's go with this one."

Upon hearing this, Honeysuckle went forward to lead the ox. The ox might have sensed something strange and began to shake its head uneasily, digging the ground with its hooves, splashing up some dust.

The powerful King Honeysuckle was not in a hurry. She pulled hard while soothing him softly: "Dear cow, don't be afraid. Sister will take you to a good place."

Liu Cui and Nanny Yang also helped by pulling the reins. After a while, they finally stabilized the cow and slowly pulled it to the patio.

The patio is surrounded by corridors. Although you can still feel the chill of the wind and rain, it is better than the open air outside.

Liu Cui had already prepared the knives needed for slaughtering, and began to sharpen them on a whetstone nearby. The sound of the knife being sharpened echoed in the somewhat empty courtyard, revealing a different kind of tension.

The cow mooed anxiously...

Several maids looked at the sharp blade and trembled slightly in their hearts. After all, they seldom saw such scenes on weekdays. But thinking that Su Yue didn't say anything, they gritted their teeth and stood aside and watched quietly.

Su Yue, who saw what was happening, did not force them, but said, "If you are afraid, just stay inside. Ren Dong and Liu Cui are here."

One of the maids shook her head and said firmly, "Miss, I'm fine, and this kind of thing will only happen once."

The other maids also nodded in agreement. Su Yue just nodded and said nothing more.

After everything was ready, Rendong took a deep breath and walked to the yellow cow, and cooperated with Nanny Yang to tie up the yellow cow's limbs so that they could start.

Then, as Honeysuckle raised her knife and slashed it, the yellow cattle struggled for a while, then slowly fell down, with blood gushing out.

Liu Cui and several maids were also ready to use buckets to collect the cow's blood, which could be eaten and should not be wasted.

The maid who received the cow's blood turned away subconsciously, but quickly turned back. No one knew what she was thinking.

At the moment, Liu Cui was thinking more about how to process the beef and make a hot and delicious meal for the men upstairs who had worked hard and were exhausted by the acid rain.

After collecting the cow's blood, several people began to process the cow skillfully, cutting the beef and cleaning the internal organs, and each step was done in an orderly manner.

Su Yue was also busy, directing everyone to sort out the different parts of beef and put them away, muttering: "The brisket can be used for stewing soup, and the tenderloin can be fried. They are all good things."

Nanny Yang and Honeysuckle echoed on the side, and the whole courtyard was filled with the smell of blood after slaughtering.

After dealing with the cow, the maids began to use acid rain water to carefully clean the bloodstains in the patio. The water mixed with blood flowed on the ground and was gradually washed into the drainage ditch.

Liu Cui and Rendong moved the cut beef to a chopping board that had been prepared at the side, and checked it carefully again to make sure that every piece of meat was clean.

At this time, the women also came over. In addition to helping, they also told Su Yue that the men had all returned.

Su Yue went back to the fifth floor after hearing that. When Song Mingtao saw Su Yue coming, he quickly told her about the situation on the rooftop.

Su Yue was worried when she heard that many of the stone bricks on the roof were corroded by rain. She didn't know how long the tarpaulin shed could last.

Nanny Yang frowned and said with a worried look on her face, "Old Song, the corrosion of the stone bricks is no small matter. What if the tarpaulin tent can't last long? What will we do if there is acid rain again in the future?"

Song Mingtao also looked helpless, and replied with a sigh: "Yes, I am worried too, this acid rain is too severe.

The stone bricks were originally very solid, but now they are in this state. When the rain stops, we must think of a way to repair the roof as soon as possible."

"This is the only way. By the way, is anyone injured?" Su Yue asked.

Song Mingtao frowned slightly, glanced in Liu Daxi's direction, and said, "Daxi accidentally fell and was splashed with acid rain on his face. It scared everyone at the time, but after using the antidote, it seems to have eased a little now. But there are still some red spots on his face, so he needs to take care of them for a while."

When Su Yue heard this, she looked for Liu Daxi's voice and saw Liu Daxi washing his face not far away. The spot was not very red, so she felt relieved.

"Tell him to wash his face more often. If he doesn't have enough antidote, ask Uncle Wu for more."

Song Mingtao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, young lady, only one person is injured, the antidote is enough."

Su Yue nodded slightly, and then continued: "That's good, the kitchen is already cooking, everyone will catch up later."

As they were talking, the aroma of food wafted up from downstairs, making people's stomachs start to whet.

Su Yue smiled and said, "This smell came just in time. Uncle Song, let's invite everyone downstairs to eat. Only after we are full can we have the energy to think about the rooftop repair."

Song Mingtao nodded and raised his voice, "Everyone, the food is almost ready, come downstairs and prepare to eat. The girl specially killed a cow today, so everyone should eat to their heart's content."
