The pheasant was stronger than a chicken, and its flapping forced Yu Wan to find something to tie it to. However, after searching for half a day, Yu Wan still had not found any tools in the basket. In the end, he took out a red headband from his chest. “I still have this in my pocket.” Yu Wan raised her eyebrows and went to tie the pheasant without a word.
Yu Wan tied the seaman knot, and the more the pheasant fluttered, the tighter the red headband wrapped around it. In the morning, it was a bit surprising.
Yu Wan hummed the song and left the vegetable field with the pheasant.
Along the way, he tried to recall information about this village or dynasty, but unfortunately, he could not remember anything. However, the foot of the mountain was filled with thatched huts. There were only twenty to thirty houses in total. Yu Wan felt that this village was very poor.
The village was located between two mountains, and there was a large piece of farmland. The further west they went, the more deserted, and their house was on the westernmost side of the village. In front of the door was a relatively flat open space. Yu Wan remembered that in his previous life, there was also such a place in the old house in the countryside. Everyone calls it a training room. He didn't know what the name of this place was, or maybe it was nothing.
When he entered the room, Little Bruiser was already awake and awkwardly put on his clothes. No matter how capable he was, he was still a child who was not even six years old. It was difficult for him to wear thick winter clothes.
The woman in bed hasn't woken up. His breath was short and his pale skin looked clearer than yesterday.
Yu Wan put down her basket and entered the house.
Little Bruiser finally put on his final shoes. As he looked at Yu Wan, his big, watery eyes sparkled. “Kak!”
Yu Wan looked at her protruding little body and advanced to straighten her pants. He slipped his shirt into his cotton pants. Just as he was about to ask if he was sleeping soundly, a loud and clear chicken call came from the living room.
Little Bruiser was stunned for a moment before he ran over excitedly. His surprised voice was impatient to be heard. “Kak! Is this chicken? Where did you get that chicken? You went into town? You bought chicken?”
Children are very noisy when they are excited.
“I don't go to the city.” Besides, there was no money if he left. Yu Wan slipped the woman on the bed into the blanket and carried the pheasant into the backyard. The backyard is surrounded by a fence. The front is connected to the house while the back is connected to the pigsty and kitchen. Of course, there were no pigs in the pigsty.
“I caught this on the mountain,” said Yu Wan.
“You caught him in the mountain? Brother, you are amazing!” Little Bruiser said in admiration.
Yu Wan took out an empty bowl and cut the chicken.
When Little Bruiser saw this, he was not afraid at all. He obediently crouched on the ground without blinking. “Is that for us?” She asked.
“Of course. Who else would I give it to? said Yu Wan.
Little Bruiser hesitated.
Yu Wan thought her brother was acting a little strange. She was too busy cooking to take it seriously. He put the chicken in a hot tub and soaked it. He began to pluck his feathers. As he did so, he wondered what side dish he should prepare. That can't be carrots anymore. He never liked carrots.
Suddenly, he turned his head and his gaze was fixed on the row of bamboo behind the kitchen.
Bamboo is green, and not many grayish-white lines are clearly visible on bamboo stems. Bamboo should be three to five years old. Bamboo at this age is best suited for digging bamboo shoots.
“Kak, what do you see?” Little Bruiser asked curiously.
Yu Wan did not say anything. He put down the pheasant he had picked up and found the shovel before walking towards the bamboo. Little Bruiser did not know what he wanted to do and followed him excitedly.
Yu Wan walked back and forth in the bamboo field. Suddenly, he crouched down and used a shovel to dig under the bamboo tree. He dug something sharp, about the size of a sweet potato.
“Truly there.” Yu Wan smiled.
“Kak, what is this?” Little Bruiser asked curiously.
Yu Wan said happily, “Winter shade.”
“Can I eat?” Little Bruiser asked.
Yu Wan smiled. “Of course.” Not only can it be eaten, but it is also very tasty and rich in nutritional value.
There were not many bamboo trees here, but not all of them were sprouted. After Yu Wan dug up the two of them, she ended her work under the hungry gurgle of Little Bruiser.
Yu Wan washed the winter bamboo shoots clean and cut them into slices. He then cut the pheasant into pieces and put his internal organs to the side. Pheasant chicken and winter bamboo shoots are then fried with a large fire and boiled slowly with a small flame.
Yu Wan rarely cooked. To be honest, his culinary skills were not considered great, but the ingredients were good. In just a short time, the rich aroma of chicken meat mixed with the scent of fresh bamboo shoots smelled layer by layer, stimulating the senses of Yu Wan and her brother.
Little Bruiser drooled.
Yu Wan opened the lid of the pot and took out a piece of chicken to give to him. He quickly shook his head and gulped his saliva before saying, “I, I will wait for Mom and Sister to eat together!”
“Oke.” Yu Wan did not refuse. After closing the lid of the pot, he said to Little Bruiser, “Add garlic is not enough. I'll pick some from the fields.”
“Then I will take care of the chicken!” Little Bruiser said solemnly.
Yu Wan chuckled. “Alright, take care of the chicken and don't let anyone steal it.”
He was just joking with Little Bruiser. Who knew that someone would really think of the chicken in his panc once he left?
It was none other than Zhao Heng's biological mother, Zhao Shi.
That day, after Ah Wan threw herself into the lake, Zhao Heng immediately saved her. To the outside world, he claimed that he lost his footing and fell into the water. Even Zhao Shi, his own mother, did not know the truth.
Ah Wan had been in a coma for a few days and Madam Zhao thought she would not be able to live. Who would have thought when the neighbor said that he had seen Ah Wan, he immediately came to make sure.
“Ah Wan, are you awake? Seriously is! Why don't you tell me you're awake? Heng-er needs to pay her tuition money again. Hurry up and pay—” As Lady Zhao speaks, she enters the house. On the way, he stopped. What is this fragrance? Why does it smell so good ?!
Madam Zhao rushed into the kitchen.
Little Bruiser's face darkened when he saw her.
Madam Zhao did not even see Little Bruiser. He lifted the lid of the pot. When he saw the golden soup and the chicken soup, his eyes immediately sparkled!
He could not remember the last time he ate meat. Ten days ago? Half a month ago? Ah Wan, that poor girl, is useless. He could only let her eat meat once or twice a month, and that was very little. God knows that he's dying from a hunger for meat!
There's a big pot here, a big pot!
Madam Zhao excitedly put down the lid of the pot, opened the cupboard, took out a clean jar of earth, and naturally picked up the chicken in the pot.
Little Bruiser grabbed his hand furiously. “So this is for us! You are not allowed to take it!
Madam Zhao snorted. “Your sister is my daughter-in-law. What is hers is mine! Since when is it your turn to eat?” Fucking girl! He didn't even know how to take a good thing to show his respect. He actually hid it in the house and boiled it! Fortunately, he's here. Otherwise, this big pot of chicken meat would have been eaten by the people affected by this plague!
“Build!” Madam Zhao shouted.
“No!” Little Bruiser refused to let go of Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao was furious. He waved his hand forcefully and pulled his arm out. He pinched Little Bruiser's face and said ferociously, “Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my affairs? Do you believe I'll beat you up?!”
Half of Little Bruiser's face turned red. She glared at him with her hands on her hips. “Then you beat! Beat!”
“You, you boy!” Madam Zhao raised her palm.
Under normal circumstances, Madam Zhao would definitely beat up this annoying little b*job. However, the chicken in front of him was too good. He couldn't wait to bring her back to eat with his son and daughter. Therefore, she “greatly” releases Little Bruiser and drives him away before turning around to scoop the chicken in the pot.
He scooped up the entire chicken pot, not even leaving the chicken neck.
