Chapter 307 Family Dinner
Chapter 307 Family Dinner
Hearing Ye Xiaocui's question, Jiang Chunlan smiled brightly.
"Oh, I've eaten several meals at your house. I feel bad about it, so I thought I'd give you a hen so it can lay eggs for the children!"
Fu Wan started to have a headache when she heard this polite remark. She quickly refused: "Auntie, we are a family, why are we being so polite? Hurry up and take the chicken back. I have hens laying eggs at home!"
In fact, Fu Wan's family not only has egg-laying hens, but also a large group of rabbits, not to mention the little yellow rabbit that stares at the vegetable garden all day long, and Wangcai who goes crazy from time to time to chase chickens and tease the little yellow rabbit.
The animal population at home is very large, and Ye Xiaocui worries every day that these guys eat more than humans.
If it hadn't been about to rain in the next few days, Ye Xiaocui would have prepared the rabbit meat long ago!
Even if Fu Wan refused, Jiang Chunlan refused to take the chicken back.
She just couldn't believe it. In this day and age, there are still people who dislike hens that lay eggs?!
"Mom, why don't you take me to see what's going on in my backyard?"
Fu Wan had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
When Ye Xiaocui heard this, she thought this method was feasible, so she pulled her old sisters and walked to the backyard.
Jiang Chunlan didn't refuse to go. It was just the backyard, and it wouldn't delay her. She would quietly let go of the chicken and successfully send it out.
That's what she thought, but when Jiang Chunlan arrived at the backyard and saw what was there, she was dumbfounded.
She had also seen the hens in Ye Xiaocui's family. They were energetic and more beautiful than roosters. How come they were so bald now that all the hair on their tails was gone?
Now is not the time for the chicken to shed its feathers!
Look at the chickens again, they don’t dare to wander around. They squat in front of the chicken coop like frightened birds, looking like they are ready to run away at any time.
What on earth was going on?
Perhaps seeing the shock on Jiang Chunlan's face, Ye Xiaocui sighed and then opened the chicken coop next to her.
Wow, the chicken coop is full of yellow-haired hares!
"Xiao Cui, why are there so many hares? What's wrong with this hen's tail? Why is it hairless?"
This is a long story, and with so much work waiting for her, Ye Xiaocui can only make it short.
"The rabbits were caught by Awan's uncle. There were only two rabbits originally, but who knew they were a pair? A few months after giving birth to one litter, they started giving birth again, and the number of rabbits kept growing.
As for the hen's tail, you'll have to ask the ancestor next to it!"
Ye Xiaocui nodded towards a place not far away. Jiang Chunlan looked in that direction and saw Wangcai lying on the ground, staring intently at Xiao Huang beside the vegetable garden.
The bird and the dog didn't react much when they saw Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan, they just played by themselves.
Wangcai seems to be lying down, but his eyes are moving very fast, and it is obvious that he is not an easy person to deal with.
Sure enough, the next second, it suddenly pounced on Xiao Huang who was not far away. It was fast, and Xiao Huang's reaction was not slow either. It had already spread its wings and flew low.
"Hey, Xiao Huang can fly now?"
Little Yellow can indeed fly, but the little hen can’t!
Seeing Xiao Huang flying away, Wangcai seemed to be angry and rushed towards the chicken coop next to him. When the hens saw Wangcai rushing towards them, they immediately scattered and hid.
The only one that Jiang Chunlan sent had no time to react, and Wangcai bit it on the butt, scaring Jiang Chunlan so much that her face turned pale.
"Why is this dog eating chicken?"
As she was about to go into Wangcai's mouth to save her beloved old hen, Ye Xiaocui quickly stopped her sister, "Don't be nervous, it doesn't want to eat the chicken, it just likes to play."
Sure enough, the next second, Wangcai immediately opened his mouth. The hen survived the disaster and panickedly rushed to the chicken coop next to it at the fastest speed in her life, leaving Wangcai with only a mouthful of chicken butt hair.
Looking at the little hen that was so beautiful just now, it was also bald, just like the hen Jiang Chunlan had just seen!
"Hey, this, this, why is this dog behaving like this!"
It took Jiang Chunlan a long time to suppress the urge to scold the dog. She never expected that Wangcai, who usually looked obedient and sensible, was actually like this behind the scenes!
What else could Ye Xiaocui say? Her initial reaction was exactly the same as Jiang Chunlan's.
At first she also thought Wangcai wanted to eat the chicken, but after observing for a while, she found out that this dog was Yan Huai.
Just to scare the chickens.
In fact, it was because it couldn't bite the little yellow chicken, so it took its anger out on the hen.
"Now you know why I asked you to take the hen back!"
At this time, the hen is one of the most valuable treasures in the house and is also known as the "chicken butt bank".
With chickens, there is an endless supply of eggs. These days, eggs are hard currency.
Unfortunately, ever since Wangcai let himself go, the chickens in Ye Xiaocui's house have been scared and have laid fewer eggs.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chunlan no longer dared to leave the chicken behind, and hurriedly picked up the frightened old hen in the chicken coop.
"Well, I'll take the chicken back with me. I'll send some more eggs over when they lay."
This time Ye Xiaocui didn't refuse, but she was also generous to her old sisters.
So she immediately picked up a fat rabbit and handed it to Jiang Chunlan.
"Take this rabbit back and let Aliang prepare it for you. You can dry it or cook it."
Jiang Chunlan was really embarrassed to accept it. It was unreasonable for her to not give away the gift but instead bring something home.
Seeing that she refused to take it, Ye Xiaocui didn't say anything and directly found a hemp rope nearby to tie the rabbit's legs.
"Hurry up and take it! Look at my rabbits. I can hardly afford to feed them!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chunlan could only accept it with reluctance. After all, she saw at least seven or eight rabbits there, so she thought they were indeed eating a lot.
The two sisters chatted back and forth as they walked towards the front yard. Ye Xiaocui smelled the smell of cooking fumes and clapped her hands, "Oh no! Awan is alone in the kitchen!"
She hurried to the kitchen, only to find that Fu Ming was cooking and Fu Wan was lighting a fire with firewood.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had a son who could cook.
Fu Wan could guess what she was thinking when she saw her like this, and she laughed, "Mom, you didn't expect me to conscript men!"
Ye Xiaocui glanced at her sideways and said, "You are so smart!"
Fu Ming was listening to the two people talking and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
If Fu Wan hadn't said that his cooking was delicious, he wouldn't have bothered to get choked by the chili pepper!
However, what Fu Wan said was true. Fu Ming's current level is no longer what it used to be. In the Fu family, he is second only to Ye Xiaocui.
The lunch was very sumptuous. The meat dishes included pheasant stewed with dried wild mushrooms and stir-fried rabbit. The vegetarian dishes included beans and vegetables grown at home, and even tomato and egg soup prepared by Fu Wan.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu especially liked the bowl of egg soup, which was sweet and sour. It was so delicious to soak the multi-grain rice in the soup.
As for Boss Fu and his friends, they liked the bowl of stir-fried rabbit the most. Fu Ming put enough chili peppers in it, so even though their mouths were red from eating, they didn't put down their chopsticks.
Just when everyone finished their meal and were clearing away their dishes, Boss Fu remembered to talk about the situation of the boat at home.
"I've seen the boat, it's in great repair. Let's discuss when we should go out to sea."
Fu Ming shouted without thinking: "How about tonight!"
Half of the day has passed, and I can prepare things for going out to sea in the afternoon.
Most sea fish like to come out at night, so the harvest at night is generally much better than during the day.
Fu Wan had no objection to what Fu Ming said, and so did everyone else.
Seeing this, Boss Fu made a decision:
"Okay, then everyone go back and have a good rest. After dinner tonight, we will go out to sea!"
