Although chilling, the grievance today was not in vain. At the critical moment, he saw that Lan Ya still cared about him and cared about him. Seeing his father being beaten, she stepped forward without even thinking about it, and even dared to beat Qi Laishun. It was really his fault. Good girl!
There is also his good son-in-law who knocked Qi Laishun unconscious with a single punch. Over the years, he has been looked down upon in the village, especially that bastard Qi Laishun. Look, brother-in-law, the son-in-law's punch today is really refreshing!
Through today's incident, he could see that Er Yong really cared about Lan Ya. When he heard Qi Laishun insulting Lan Ya, he did it directly without saying a word. His temper was tough enough. Later, Lan Ya followed him, Definitely don't have to worry about being bullied...
Shen Ruolan helped him clean up the wound, bandaged it up, and went to wash his hands and cook.
Zhang Eryong knew that the family didn't have any good food, and he was afraid that she would be in trouble, and that the New Year's Eve would wrong her, so he went out for a while, and when he came back, he brought a big rooster in his hand, and he didn't know where he bought it.
After entering the courtyard, he called Shen Ruolan through the window: "Ruolan, sharpen the knife for me, and fetch half a bowl of water."
Shen Ruolan heard the movement, went out to have a look, saw that he had bought a chicken, turned around and ran back, and after a while came out with half a bowl of water and a gleaming kitchen knife.
"Here." Passed the kitchen knife to him, put the bowl half filled with water on the ground, stretched out his hand and said, "You come to kill the chicken, and I'll help you with the legs."
Zhang Eryong dodged holding the hand of the chicken, avoiding her, "I don't need you, I'm just as tall as I am, you go into the room and look at the pot."
He was afraid that the bloody scene of killing a chicken would frighten her. In his mind, Ruolan was a weak little girl who needed his protection. He could handle this bloody scene alone.
However, Shen Ruolan was worried that he would not be able to numb the chicken alone and ruined the blood of the chicken, so she flatly rejected his kindness, "It's okay, the rice is already in the pot, and the fire is on, I'd better help you finish the killing." go in."
Zhang Eryong still didn't want to ask her for help, "Aren't you afraid that the chicken was bloody when killing the chicken?"
"Afraid?"
Shen Ruolan stared at him with big watery eyes as if she had heard a joke: "Do you think I will be afraid? Let me tell you this, not to mention killing chickens for you, even if I am asked to kill myself, I would dare. Do you believe it or not?"
Looking at her pretty little face, but with an unyielding heroic spirit, Zhang Eryong's face turned red again, in order to cover up, he quickly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Believe me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and kill." Shen Ruolan couldn't wait anymore, she hadn't eaten breakfast yet, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and her stomach was already too hungry.
"Um."
Seeing that she was not afraid of her, Zhang Eryong had no psychological burden. He grabbed the chicken's neck, plucked off the feathers, grabbed the chicken wings and head with one big hand, and wiped the chicken's neck with a knife in the other.
Shen Ruolan was afraid of the chicken's flopping, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the chicken's paws to stop it from flopping around. With the cooperation of the two, the chicken was quickly killed and not a drop of blood was wasted.
"I'll clean up the chicken in a while, you go get a cold dish." Zhang Eryong suggested.
The reason why he suggested this was because there would be a strange smell when the chicken feathers were blanched, and he was afraid that it would irritate her.
Shen Ruolan didn't think too much about it, she just thought that she was good at cooking, so it's better for him to do the work that doesn't require skills, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, we can save a lot of time by dividing the labor and cooperating. "
Lying in the room, Shen Dejian heard that the two of them had discussed everything, just like he and her back then, and couldn't help grinning in satisfaction.
Just grinning...it hurts!
**
After the division of labor was completed, Shen Ruolan went back to the kitchen, washed two potatoes, peeled them and cut them into cubes, and saved them for stewing the chicken later, washed a radish and cut them into strips, saved them for soup, and cut them out A plate of thinly shredded cabbage, secretly took out some white sugar frosting from the space, mixed it with sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and refined salt, and a plate of cold dishes was completed.
Over there, Zhang Eryong boiled a pot of water on the iron stove in her house, bald the feathers of the chickens, picked off the fine hairs, scalded them twice with boiling water, and then carried them into the kitchen to open them.
Seeing that the diced potatoes, radish sticks and shredded cabbage that Shen Ruolan had cut were all neatly stacked on the plate, and the kitchen was also tidy, Zhang Eryong said approvingly: "Ruolan, you are really good!"
Shen Ruolan chuckled, and said proudly, "I think so too!"
The naughty appearance made Zhang Eryong laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became warmer.
The two of them were working in the kitchen while talking, and occasionally making some innocuous jokes. Soon, a bowl of delicious chicken stewed potatoes, and a plate of stir-fried chicken giblets ( Chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, chicken intestines, chicken livers), a plate of cold shredded cabbage, a bowl of tender chicken blood tofu, and a small pot of hot soup made with chicken wing tips, chicken legs, and radish sticks. It's done.
Zhang Eryong was not idle either. When she was cooking, he was helping to light the fire, handing over the seasonings, and helping to serve the dishes to the table when they were ready. The two of them were busy inside and out, and they cooperated very well.
Four dishes and one soup, neat and tidy, and a few bowls of white rice, it seems like a decent New Year's Eve dinner!
Shen Dejian hasn't eaten such a decent New Year's Eve dinner for many years. The last time he had such a serious New Year's Eve dinner was ten years ago, when Wan Qiu didn't leave. After ten years, he thought that his life was like Like a bereaved dog, he will always go to the end in depravity and decadence. He didn't expect that one day, he would be able to sit at the table like an old man, waiting for his daughter and son-in-law to serve him. This feeling is so happy!
