Chapter 103 Killing Chickens and Ducks
After posting the Spring Festival couplets, it was time to prepare food. On the twenty-ninth day, Li Yao and Xing'er took some chickens and ducks scalded with boiling water to the small river to pluck their feathers.When I came to the small river, I saw people squatting by the river to pluck chicken feathers.

"Auntie, you're almost ready. If you're ready, give me the seat." Xing'er saw that Tie Niuniang had already plucked the feathers of the chicken, and was opening the chicken belly to remove the internal organs.

"Okay, I'll be fine soon." Tie Niuniang looked at the two sisters-in-law with a smile, saw that they were each carrying a basket, and said enviously: "Your family has had a very prosperous year, just this So many chickens and ducks are killed!"

Li Yao knew that in this village, everyone raised three or two chickens, but they were all used for laying eggs, and they were only willing to kill one to add food after the Chinese New Year, but no one killed so many chickens as soon as their family killed them.It's just that the Tie Niu Niang didn't know that the Chen family didn't raise chickens, and they bought them from the chicken dealer before they were young.

"Auntie, my eldest brother and those brothers are going to celebrate the New Year at our house this year, so I killed a few more, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat." Xing'er dare not say that there are a lot of dried dace in the house.

This Xing'er used to be timid and didn't like to talk to people, but since she helped in the stewed meat shop, she became much more cheerful and courageous.

"Tie Niu Niang, what kind of life is their family living now? There is a stewed meat shop in the town, and I heard that it is still doing business with the county. Didn't you see that horse-drawn carriages come to their house every day? These chickens and ducks What's the matter, I'm afraid even dragon meat can be eaten." A woman by the river raised her head and said in a sour tone, the carriage she was talking about was someone from the restaurant in the county town who came to Chen's house to pick up braised pork.

"Zhu Zi Niang, no matter what, their family finally got better now, we should all be happy for them." Tie Niu Niang said to the woman.

Zhu Ziniang snorted, and muttered: "I am so good with that Chen Huang family, I must have gained some benefits, of course I will say so."

Tie Niuniang pretended not to hear, put the killed chicken in the river to wash again, stood up and said to Xing'er with a smile, "Come on, I've done it, this one is for you."

"Thank you, auntie." Li Yao smiled at Tie Niuniang and squatted down on the seat.

In a place with many people, there are many right and wrong, so she didn't bother to speak again.

The two of them killed the chicken and duck and returned home. Seeing Chen Huang's two sisters-in-law making batter in the kitchen, Li Yao stepped forward curiously.

"Mother, Second Aunt, are you making bread?"

Chen Yangshi smiled, "This is sticky rice flour and sweet potato flour cooked together, not flour."

Li Yao saw that the two were rubbing the dough hard in a wide-mouthed ceramic basin. The bottom of the basin was very smooth. After kneading for a while, they picked up the dough when they felt sticky. Hook some water to the bottom with one hand, then put down the dough and rub it.

Li Yao was very curious and asked, "Mother, what are you doing for making this dough?"

"To make steamed stuffed buns, press the dough well and evenly, then grab it into individual zizi, then pinch the zizi into thin wraps and serve them, and steam them in a pan."

"Mom, then I'll help you!" Li Yao was full of energy, she liked new things the most.

"Then you help me chop up those lard residues, and then fry them over low heat. Xing'er will help me wash those vegetables, and then chop them up too.

"Mom, I know, it's not the first time I've helped out." Xing'er said, she has helped out during Chinese New Year in the past.

"Hehe, look, I forgot." Chen Huang laughed straight, and the Chinese New Year in previous years was not as happy as this year.
