Gao Xiulan was a little unwilling to give up, and even took some cornmeal for the hen, hoping that the hen would have a good meal before continuing to lay eggs.
However, the hen was very shameless. After eating, she still didn't lay eggs for two days. And she lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gao Xiulan was so angry that she tricked her into a meal, but she still didn't lay eggs.
After struggling for a while, Gao Xiulan seemed to give up. She patted herself on the head, "I'm so confused, these days women are too hungry to conceive, and it's not surprising that hens can't lay eggs."
Su Qinghe was eating dried sweet potatoes, when he heard this, his ears moved, and his mouth smacked twice.
To be honest, she hasn't had a good meal for a long time. White flour egg custard is indeed delicious for other people in this era, but it is not enough for a person who was enjoying delicious food in the 21st century not long ago.
What a pity, what a pity, her mother would definitely not eat the only old hen. It would be great if there is an old hen in the system, just get one, and then stew one...
"Ding, please pay attention to the host. This system provides fresh ingredients for living creatures. I hope the host will work hard and get rewards." A system voice appeared in his head.
"Living animals are also provided?" Su Qinghe was stunned. Quickly got up and went into the house.
When she arrived in the room, she lay down directly on the kang, "System, system, do you even provide living things?"
"Please trust the host that the military wife system provides any edible ingredients. It is guaranteed to be fresh and reliable. In addition, the reward value obtained by the host is equal to the value of the ingredients used by the host for cooking. Please work hard to make valuable delicacies."
"That's right, I almost forgot." Su Qinghe just remembered that the system told her before that she could get as much as she spent cooking. The system does not distinguish between coarse grains and fine grains, so it is calculated by weight. And if she wants to get pork belly, she can only get half a catty each time, except for those who start the mission for the first time and seem to get double rewards. This is because the food she spends each time is only worth half a catty of pork belly. That said, if she stewed an old hen...
In an instant, a plump, majestic old hen appeared in his head.
"System, can the ingredients you provide lay eggs?" If she wanted to eat the old lady's precious old hen, she had to return one to the old lady, or the old lady might fall in lovesickness.
"Host, please rest assured that within the scope of the reward standard, the host can put forward requirements for the rewarded ingredients. This system fully meets the host's daily needs."
Very good! I can finally eat old hen soup!
Su Qinghe sat up and walked into the yard. Gao Xiulan was still feeding the old hen, moaning and sighing.
Su Qinghe silently said Amitabha to the old hen that had lost weight. I'm sorry, every chicken will die, and death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai. Being eaten can be regarded as completing the final mission.
"Mom..." Su Qinghe cried out in an aggrieved voice.
Gao Xiulan was depressed, when she heard her daughter calling her, she looked at her lovingly, "Qing Miaoer, what's wrong?"
"Mom, the corns are getting thinner every day. If this continues, I'm worried that there will only be chicken bones left. It's too bad!"
Gao Xiulan sighed, "Mom also knows, I feel uncomfortable."
"Mom, otherwise we'll just give it to him," he winked at Gao Xiulan. "have eaten?"
Gao Xiulan was stunned for a moment. The big girls who were washing clothes next to them all looked over. Eyes on the old hen.
Gao Xiulan waved her hands again and again, "No, no, this is for you to eat. Let's eat it now, what will you eat in the future? You are not in good health, you need to take good care of it."
"Mom, I can't lay eggs anyway, can you tell me if we can find my godfather..."
"..." Gao Xiulan opened her mouth, as if she had suddenly realized.
Then he stuffed the incredible old hen that was just a baby into the cage and closed it, and pulled Su Qinghe into the house. Before leaving, he said to the three granddaughters, "Work hard, don't eat if you can't do well." . Why are you staring at an old hen? You can’t eat it! You know how to eat it all day long!”
Su Qinghe pulled her into the room vigorously. This old lady is really restless.
After entering the room, Gao Xiulan said, "Do you think your father has the ability?"
"I'm not sure about this, but Mom, didn't you get that big iron pot from our house? It's very easy to use. My sister-in-law said it's better than the iron pots we've used for many years. My dad sent it Things are just different."
After hearing this, Gao Xiulan felt honored, "That's right, the rice your father gave is also white."
Su Qinghe said, "I don't know if the old hen my dad sent will lay more eggs. Mom, why don't we ask my dad to send the hen over, and let's eat this hen first? I'm worried about losing weight, but it's a pity Eat that meat." She swallowed her saliva as she spoke, expressing that she wanted to eat it very much.
Gao Xiulan's heart softened immediately. Her daughter has not eaten chicken for many years. Well, pheasant doesn't count.
Now there is a daughter and her father to subsidize it. If it really doesn't work in the future, they can use the food to exchange eggs for the daughter to eat. This old hen... "Okay, let's stew it. You can eat it alone for a long time."
"Mom, the weather is getting hot, so it's not easy to put it away. I think everyone can eat a meal. Anyway, I will eat more then. Besides, now that I have my dad, I don't have to worry about food. I still have a lot of food." Picking, I won’t eat anything other than good meat.” She said proudly.
Gao Xiulan felt quite comfortable seeing her daughter like this. I used to feel that my daughter was not loved by her father. Now I finally have a father. This child with a father who loves him is different.
"Okay, listen to you. It's just to make those bastards cheaper. When your father was around, they didn't eat less."
Worried that the old hen would lose weight, Gao Xiulan ordered her daughter-in-law to boil water and clean the old hen after lunch.
Lin Shuhong and Ding Guihua were stunned for a moment.
Ding Guihua asked tentatively, "Mom, is this going to be eaten?"
"Stop laying eggs, why not eat them and keep them?" Gao Xiulan said angrily.
Su Qinghe didn't want to hear her mother chanting again, so she quickly interjected, "Sister-in-law, mom said I'll make it up for everyone."
Upon hearing this, the audience was silent.
Everyone looked at Gao Xiulan eagerly, and then at the old hen.
The sound of swallowing saliva was rumbled.
Gao Xiulan felt extremely shabby, she patted the table and said, "Are you still working or not? If you don't want to eat, then don't eat!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Shuhong and Ding Guihua ran out in a hurry, and got into the kitchen to boil water.
After a while, the water boiled. I only heard the old hen clucking for a while, and it was quickly cleaned up.
Su Qinghe couldn't understand the scene, so he didn't go to see it. After packing up, I will become a chef.
She won't waste such good ingredients. Didn't the system ask her to cook ten famous dishes as a B-level culinary skill assessment task? One of the dishes in the recipe is called authentic farmhouse old hen soup. Because it is an authentic farm dish, the ingredients are very simple. Not so fancy condiments. The most important native hen is also readily available. If she succeeds, her reward will be doubled. That would be profitable. At that time, one will be left to lay eggs, and one can continue to eat.
In order to be a success, she carefully followed the recipes for every procedure. Coupled with her rudimentary cooking skills, there is no pressure to do it.
Put the packed chicken into the large earthenware pot that was used to cook rice before, and then put simple seasonings on it. After adding water, put the clay pot in the stove and nest it. This is the simplest way to cook soup in rural areas. No waste wood, the soup is still sweet. Looking at the clay pots in the stove, Su Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief. She never thought that she would have a day when she would cook so hard, but for the sake of the old hen, let's work harder.
Ding Guihua was still reluctant to go to work outside the kitchen, looked at the kitchen and said worriedly, "My sister said that she wants to learn how to make soup, but I don't know if it will be possible. What if it breaks?"
Gao Xiulan's face became long when she heard it, "You said it as if you could cook soup, have you ever had soup in Lao Ding's family? We Qingmiao'er grew up drinking chicken soup, and if we haven't made it through, it must still be Yes. She's like me!"
Ding Guihua immediately dared not say a word. It is true that Lao Ding's family has never had soup. No way, who made Lao Ding's family poor.
The chicken soup must be drunk tomorrow, and it happens that I don’t eat at night. This soup can be simmered in the stove for an afternoon and night.
Although they couldn't drink the soup right away, they all cheered up when they thought they would be able to drink chicken soup tomorrow. Even though my stomach is only half full, I feel strong all over my body, and I work hard when I go to the ground.
After the son and daughter-in-law went out, Gao Xiulan went to the kitchen and brought out the unprocessed chicken head, chicken butt and chicken collarbone in a bowl.
Su Qinghe said, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Go find your uncle. By the way, give your grandma two pieces of meat to eat."
Meat... Su Qinghe looked at the chicken head and buttocks in the bowl and pursed his lips. "Mom, why don't you pick two better ones?"
Gao Xiulan looked indifferent, "What are you going to do? Anyway, your grandma wouldn't want to eat it after I brought it over, so I will give it to your uncle. Your uncle has eaten good food since he was a child, so I don't want to give him something good. Woolen cloth."
"..." Her mother usually went to her mother's house, and she showed how warm she was with her uncle. At the critical moment, it was the love between the chicken head and the chicken butt.
There was soup simmering at home, and Su Qinghe couldn't leave either. So Gao Xiulan went back to her natal home by herself.
Gao Xiulan went back this time in the name of visiting her mother. In fact, I went to inquire about the news of the relief food, and brought back some autumn wind by the way.
Widowed for many years, she didn't expect her man Su Dagen to support the family for the rest of his life. So all eggs cannot be put in one basket. The relief food should be remembered, and the things of the mother's family should also be remembered.
Anyway, her elder brother Gao Fusheng works in the supply and marketing cooperative of the commune, so he usually gets a lot of good things.
If she doesn't want it, it's because it's cheaper than her sister-in-law.
Gaojia Village is not far from the Yellow River Production Team and belongs to the Dapo Production Team. It's only two or three kilometers away.
Gao Xiulan's legs were fast, and she arrived in Gaojia Village soon. Her natal family is at the head of Gaojia Village, a few earth-cultivated houses surrounded by a yard. It looks neater than other people's houses.
When she got to the door of the house, she didn't even need to knock, she just pushed the door open and entered the yard, "Mom, I'm back to see you, Mom."
"Xiulan is back!"
Granny Gao's angry voice came from the room. Greeted out quickly.
In the first nineteen years of Gao Xiulan's life, she never enjoyed this kind of treatment. However, after she gave birth to three sons and gave her mother a face, her mother treated her differently.
After all, her elder brother and other sisters had many daughters after they got married. People once thought that her mother, Mrs. Gao, had a bad life, and even the next generation could not have a son. However, after she gave birth to three sons in one go, this face naturally came back. Whoever gossips about her mother, Mrs. Gao, her mother immediately slaps her, and then proudly says, "My Xiulan gave birth to three sons for the old Su family!"
At this moment, Mrs. Gao looked at her daughter with a smile all over her face, "Xiulan, why don't you let someone bring you a letter when you come back, so that Mom can save something for you. Those girl's movies are all gone at noon, I'm so angry Yo-"
The old lady is not big, but has a strong voice.
Gao Xiulan thought to herself, I don't know what you can give the girl to eat, old man, you must have hidden all the good things.
Sure enough, the old lady dragged her into the house, "Come on, Mom has left some food for you. Let's go in and eat."
Gao Xiulan immediately said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll bring you something to eat." Then she took out a bowl of meat from the basket. Well, chicken heads and chicken butts are also meat.
Then he choked up and said, "Mom, I'm useless. At home, sons and daughters-in-law are in charge of the house, and it's my turn. I brought them all, and asked my sister-in-law to make it for you to try."
In this famine year, it doesn't matter what kind of meat is good or not, as long as it is meat, it is a precious thing.
The old lady Gao blushed with excitement, and pulled her daughter's arm, "Our Xiulan is the most filial, she is the most like me. Walk around, Mom has left you food, a lot of food."
When Gao Xiulan heard her mother's words, the smile in her eyes became more and more obvious.
After entering the house, the old lady took out all the good things in the house and stuffed them into Gao Xiulan's back basket.
Gao Xiulan didn't care, she just watched from the sidelines, "My sister-in-law can't speak, Mom."
"She's talking fart!" Granny Gao scolded directly, "I can't make decisions about my son's things? If she can have more grandchildren, I have to give her to eat. Heartless bastard. I gave her so much good food, and gave birth to a grandson who was in poor health, and I blamed my fate for killing her. How could she have such a big face!"
While cursing, Mrs. Gao also came back.
Mrs. Gao rushed back after hearing the news of the third aunt's return. I just came back and watched the old lady put the brown sugar from home into the third aunt's back basket. I was so angry that I almost spat out blood.
Her daughter, who was in confinement, came to the house to beg for brown sugar, and was so scolded that she couldn't hold her head up. When it's the third aunt's turn, you can give it vigorously. Is this old lady confused
"Hey, Xiulan is back. It's a good thing I ran into it when I came back. Otherwise, the house is empty, and I don't know who has been here."
Gao Xiulan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I really think I'm here to ask for something. Mom is hurting me, can I not? Besides, there is only Jianwei in the family, who is not married yet. I can't eat brown sugar water. Could it be that my sister-in-law is planning to subsidize my daughter?"
"Xiulan, you are also a married girl." Mrs. Gao laughed.
Gao Xiulan said, "That's different, I came out of my mother's stomach. Can it be the same?"
"Of course it's different," Mrs. Gao said with a straight face, "Why can't my daughter eat what my son earns? My daughter will give birth to a son. Can your daughter give birth? Give birth to a girl and come back to ask for brown sugar Drink. I’m afraid that people will point to my nose and say that I’m subjugated.”
Mrs. Gao was speechless because of the old lady's words. Angry eyes are red. Didn't she just find an excuse to be afraid that her husband's family would dislike her, so she said something casually, so she was hated for a lifetime.
Mrs. Gao is not afraid of her. After putting the things in Gao Xiulan's back basket, she said again, "Come back and tell Mom if there is anything wrong."
"Oh mom, I knew you loved me." Gao Xiulan said with a smile, and regardless of Mrs. Gao's sulking, she asked, "Mom, did you hear what my brother said about the relief food? Many people have stopped. I am worried."
"Let's talk, last time you asked, I asked your brother to inquire about it. It will take a while. Isn't it busy harvesting grain now, and the relief grain will come down after harvesting. What's the matter, we have to wait until the autumn harvest .”
Hearing this, Gao Xiulan felt uncomfortable. This is really going to starve people to death.
After inquiring about the news, Gao Xiulan hurried home to find her daughter as soon as she got the things.
"Mom, I have to go back. There are a lot of things in this family. As a grandma, I just worry about it. I can't help it. There are many grandchildren in the family."
Mrs. Gao is envious and doesn't want it. She just wants to worry about her grandchildren. Too bad she has only one grandson. My health is not good enough to marry a daughter-in-law.
Gao Xiulan arrived swaggeringly, and swaggered away from Mrs. Gao's side.
Mrs. Gao shook her body twice in anger.
What a disaster. At the beginning, I saw that Lao Gao's family had only one son, and thought he could be the head of the family. Who would have thought that he could live such a miserable life!
The old lady Gao ignored her and went into the kitchen with the meat Gao Xiulan gave her, preparing to cook it for her grandson at night. Her grandson is not in good health, but he needs to make up for it. Otherwise, the girl would not be willing to marry.
Su Qinghe didn't expect her mother to go to her mother's house in a hurry, and when she came back, she brought brown sugar and dried sweet potatoes back. And there are not many.
Of course, Gao Xiulan was not very happy in her heart. While putting the things in the room, she said to her precious daughter, "Qing Miaoer, I asked your grandma, the relief food will not be available for a while. Our family really depends on Your dad is dead. Otherwise, our family will be starving. No, I have to talk to your dad tonight, and I have to get food for us anyway. We can’t starve our young Miaoer. When I think of you If I can’t eat food, my heart hurts, and I wish I could cut off my own meat and give it to you to eat. Don’t worry, I heard that human flesh is more delicious than pork.”
Su Qinghe: "...Mom, if my dad knows that the family is in trouble, he will definitely send food to the family. My dad loves us. By the way, there is also the old hen at home. Remember to tell my dad."
Gao Xiulan nodded quickly, "Yes, this must not be forgotten, our Qingmiaoer needs eggs to make up her body."
There is no dinner at night. Even Su Qinghe just ate some dried sweet potatoes.
But even if there is no food, everyone's eyes are fixed on the direction of the kitchen. There is light in the eyes. Then, under Gao Xiulan's urging, she dawdled back to her room and went to sleep.
Su Qinghe also went back to the room to sleep. After all, it is better to take a nap while waiting, and the time passes faster.
When sleeping until midnight, Su Qinghe suddenly heard a ding, and then the sound of the system machine, "B-level cooking task assessment task - authentic farm hen soup is completed, the reward skill point is 1 point, and two old hens lay eggs."
