Chapter 63

"Are you crazy? This rice is so expensive, why would you replace it with roast chicken?" Liu Damei said angrily, "If I didn't ask my brother for help, would I be able to eat this rice?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her daughter burst into tears again, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo meat..."

Mrs. Lin said: "Our family didn't get any meat this year, it was all stinky pigs, don't talk about it, I want to eat some decent meat!"

"I want to eat too." Old man Lin swallowed.

Their son said: "Didn't I buy five catties of this rice? I'll just exchange it for five taels... three taels of rice, okay? I have to eat something good all year round, so I can have hope in my heart, right?"

The smell of roasted chicken in the air was too enticing, Liu Damei smelled the increasingly strong smell of meat, and compromised: "Okay, just exchange it for two or three."

After finishing speaking, she immediately added, "I need to exchange more meat, at least half a catty for three or two meters... No, at least one catty of chicken!"

"How is this possible? A catty of rice is [-] cents, a catty of chicken costs more than [-] cents, and there are more expensive ones of [-] or [-] cents. At the end of the year, the market even sells for one yuan per catty. It's only three or two meters. Who would give you a catty of meat?"

After Lin Desheng finished speaking, his mother nodded, "Yeah, isn't this just looking for scolding? It's not bad if you can exchange a tael of meat for three or two meters."

Liu Damei frowned, "What's enough for a tael of meat? It's gone before you even taste it."

Her father-in-law thought for a while and said, "Let me see, Desheng, you can go to Jiang's house with a catty of rice and ask if you can exchange it for half a catty of meat. Maybe the Jiang family is in a good mood at the moment and is willing to exchange it with you."

"Isn't a catty of rice too much?"

Liu Damei wanted to say more, but her mother-in-law interrupted: "Okay, stop arguing, Desheng, just do what your father said, and exchange a catty of rice for meat."

"Okay!" Lin Desheng scooped rice with a bamboo tube for a total of five times, put it in a cloth bag, and carried it out the door.

"No, I have to go and see..."

Liu Damei was just about to chase her out, but her mother-in-law grabbed her wrist, "What are you doing? You and the Jiang family are enmity. If you go, Dong Ziniang will exchange meat for us! You stay at home and don't mess up!"

"Mother, you are serious," Liu Damei stomped her feet, "I'm afraid Daddy is too honest and will be fooled by others, and the rice will be cheated by them if the meat is not exchanged."

"Jiang Laosi and the others are not robbers and liars. At most they just refuse to exchange them. How could they steal the rice without giving money?" Old Man Lin said.

His daughter-in-law nodded, "Yes, Dongzi's father and mother are of good character, both of them are decent people, don't worry about it!"

In the Jiang family, with the help of Lingbao's spiritual power, the roasted eagle shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fat on the skin dripped into the fire, making a "sizzling" sound.

"It's so fragrant!" Shen Su'e inhaled, "Is it alright?"

Her second son also took a breath, "It smells like it's getting better, and it looks like it's getting better, but isn't it too fast?"

"Use a knife to cut the cut and see if there is blood in the meat, so you can tell if it is cooked or not?" Jiang Qingshan said.

"Yes, I'm going to get the knife out now!"

As Shen Su'e said, she walked quickly into the kitchen and picked up the kitchen knife.

She slashed at the eagle's most meaty chest, and seeing the juice kept bubbling out, she hurriedly said, "It's ripe, put out the fire quickly..."

Everyone threw stones and soil into the fire to extinguish the fire, leaving only the temperature of the charcoal to keep the roasted eagle warm.

Shen Su'e, holding a knife, was in charge of dividing the meat. She cut off the eagle's calf and put it in a bowl. She handed it to Lingbao first, "Lingbao eats the legs!"

Looking at the eagle legs in the aunt's bowl, Fugui kept swallowing.

Seeing that he stuffed his index finger into his mouth, and the saliva around his mouth was about to fall to the ground, Lingbao smiled and handed him the bowl in his hand, "Fugui, why don't you eat first?"

Er Huazi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately wanted to stop his son from taking Lingbao's bowl, but his son shook his head and said, "Auntie eat first."

This kid seems to have become a little more sensible...

When he thought this way, his fifth brother boasted: "Oh, it's not bad to be rich, I haven't learned his mother's bad habits! In the past, when the second sister-in-law was at home, she wanted to eat the best of everything, and even competed for the first one."

"This habit really cannot be learned from his mother." Jiang Qingshan said.

His daughter-in-law, Shen Su'e, cut off the other calf with a knife, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Fugui, "Today, Fugui is doing well, and I know how to let my aunt eat first. I am more sensible than before, so I will eat a leg too."

Fugui took the bowl happily, "Wow! I also have legs to eat!"

"Mother, you don't have to feed him such a good food," Er Huazi said with a frown, "you can just give him a piece of meat, otherwise I'd be embarrassed."

His father smiled and said, "Why didn't you realize that you are so thin-skinned before?"

"Father, don't be fooled by him. The second brother is just pretending. If he was really thin-skinned, he wouldn't bring his son to eat meat," Wu Chaozi said, "I see, he is the thickest-skinned person in our family!"

Erhuazi was not angry when he heard this, he frowned and smiled, "Haha, Chaozi, I really can't hide anything from you."

"That's right, I've seen through you a long time ago!"

"You really know me better than the roundworm in my stomach!"

The two of them choked on each other, and everyone laughed.

"Okay, don't be poor both of you, hurry up and take the meat away," Shen Su'e handed them the freshly cut meat, "Be careful of burning it."

Wu Chaozi took the meat, blew his breath, and took a tentative bite, feeling the fragrant gravy burst between his lips and teeth.

Originally, the eagle meat was sour and woody, but due to the effect of Lingbao's spiritual power, the sour taste in the meat disappeared, and the meat became soft and tender.

"This meat really tastes like chicken, but it's a little firmer!" Wu Chaozi said, "It's salty and fragrant, so delicious! The skin is the best, mother, is there something painted on the eagle's skin? It tastes so delicious!"

At this moment, everyone was immersed in eating meat. Shen Su'e finished the meat in her hand and replied, "I just put some salt and soy sauce on it."

"Soy sauce? Where did it come from?"

Er Huazi said: "In the Lingbao House..."

Everyone didn't continue to ask any more questions, and concentrated on eating the eagle meat.

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Desheng's voice came from outside, "Uncle Jiang, it's me, Desheng, my parents have smelled the smell of meat from your house, and they want to taste some, let me exchange rice with you for some meat, do you think it's okay?"

The Jiang family looked at each other, "Rice?"

"Mom, do you want to change with him?"

Shen Su'e said in a low voice, "You can change it if you want. We happen to have no rice at home, and this eagle is too big, so we won't be able to eat it tonight."

"No, no," Jiang Qingshan waved his hands hastily, and said, "This eagle must not be seen by him, or the villagers will talk about our family again."

His third son nodded, "Yes, it's not easy to be said to eat pheasant, this eagle is really too rare."

"Then don't change it, let Desheng go."

After listening to his mother, Wu Chaozi rushed to the door and shouted: "We won't change!"
