The three housekeeper brothers worked odd jobs in the city for a day. When they returned to the village, the first thing they smelled was the strong aroma of chicken soup in the air.
When I walked to the door of my house, I saw a group of people surrounding me.
Listening to the villagers talking about the chicken soup with envy and sourness, Brother Guan and the others were stunned, ignored them, and entered the house despite the crowd.
"Did you make chicken soup?"
“It smells so good!”
The three men came in. Brother Guan looked at Dad Guan unexpectedly. Guan Chixi, the youngest, couldn't help it. He rushed in and kept breathing in, exclaiming excitedly: "It smells so good! It smells so good!"
"Mom, our family made chicken soup?! How can we have chicken soup at home!"
Father Guan crouched beside the wall of the yard outside the kitchen with his hands folded in his hands. He was also inhaling the fragrance in the air while answering the questions of several men:
"I made chicken soup. Chi Bei caught a pheasant from the mountain! Your mother went to the village to buy a domestic rooster, made chicken soup, and raised three rabbits in the chicken coop in the backyard!"
Daddy Guan excitedly told Guan Chibei that he had learned to hunt.
The housekeeper brothers were shocked. Hunting is a skill, and it requires skill to hunt down the living creatures that are running around in the forest and can fly!
It’s not something farmers can learn easily!
Chibei can actually hunt!
The steward brothers were surprised and envious at the same time. But of course the most important thing is to be happy, congratulations to Yu Guanchibei for having this ability.
"Dad, today we made a total of thirty copper coins and bought three kilograms of white rice."
Brother Guan explained to Dad Guan by the way, and then took out three copper coins, nine copper coins per pound of rice. After buying the rice grain, only three copper coins were left.
In fact, everyone in the village eats whole grains, including sorghum, bran, and soybeans, which can cause throat problems and make people choke. Even if it's rare to eat rice, it's all grains. Add a lot of sweet potatoes and corn to it. How can you afford pure rice
But the housekeeper and the others thought that Guan Liu's daughter-in-law had just given birth and had three babies that were only one day old. They still needed to eat something good. White rice was soft and nourishing. If they had white rice, they could make some rice soup for the babies.
So I counted the coins I just earned and bought white rice that the housekeeper couldn't afford.
Brother Guan put down the bag of rice he had carried back on his shoulder. Father Guan put away the three coins, nodded, and asked Aunt Rong to take the rice to the kitchen.
Aunt Rong first scooped up a bowl of white rice, thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and divided the rice into two halves.
Put half a bowl of white rice into the pot and boil it into a rotten and glutinous white porridge.
The other half of the bowl of white rice is mixed with most of the whole grains, and two sweet potatoes that Aunt Huang gave when changing chickens during the day are put in, mixed into a pot and cooked into multigrain rice.
The simmering chicken soup kept tumbling, bright yellow in color, with a layer of oil floating on it, which couldn't be more tempting.
it is ready.
Aunt Rong finally added a little salt and then started the pot.
First, he scooped out a large bowl full of the tenderest chicken, as well as mushrooms and red dates. A large bowl was brought into Ye's wet room for her to drink.
Sister-in-law Guan brought it in, without any jealousy on her face. After placing the chicken soup on the bedside, she personally helped Ye Lulun up and said, "Lulu, drink the chicken soup quickly."
"Is the family drinking together?" Ye Lulu asked in a hollow voice when she saw a bowl full of chicken soup and meat, half leaning on Mrs. Guan.
"Yes," Sister-in-law Guan said, "Drink it quickly, don't worry, the whole family has chicken soup to drink. If Chibei hadn't gone hunting in the mountains today to replenish your health, our family wouldn't be able to eat meat even once throughout the year. Stop talking, drink it quickly. "
