The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 243

　　In a blink of an eye, it's New Years Eve again.

　　Now there is no need for Zhu Wanwan to guard the orphanage at every step, and Zhu Wanwan will not pass this day.

　　She woke up early in the morning and began to prepare various meals.

　　Ordinary people usually start preparing food several days ago, but she didn't have time before, so she didn't start to toss until today.

　　As for Chinese New Year food, chicken, fish and pork are all indispensable.

　　Zhu Wanwan spent some money and asked someone to send a chicken raised by a farm yesterday. Early in the morning, she asked Mu Qiong to help her catch it, and she came to kill it.

　　"Ma'am, it's impossible...I'll kill it!" Fu Yunan's cook said anxiously.

　　"You don't need to worry about me, I just want to do it myself when I have nothing to do." Zhu Wanwan smiled, and turned her head to watch Mu Qiong catch the chicken.

　　The chicken they bought was a large free-range rooster. It had been raised for a long time, and it probably weighed more than ten catties. Fearing that it would be hurt if it was tied up all the time, Zhu Wanwan untied the straw ropes on its feet last night and locked it in the firewood room. Now it flaps its wings and jumps up and down and screams, it is very difficult to catch. .

　　It took Mu Qiong a lot of effort to catch it, and then he found that the chicken was much stronger than he had imagined.

　　No wonder there is such a saying that "the hand has no power to restrain the chicken"...

　　Of course, he can hold the chicken's wings firmly with one hand... Mu Qiong grasped the chicken's wings tightly, took the chicken's neck and clasped it with his thumbs, and said to Zhu Wanwan, "give me the knife ."

　　Without Zhu Wanwan's help, he just wiped the chicken's neck, put the chicken blood in a bowl, and prepared to make chicken blood soup later.

　　After living a hard life, he is not used to wasting... well, no one is wasting at this time.

　　After killing the chicken, soak the chicken in hot water and then pluck the feathers... But before that, Zhu Yu took off all the beautiful feathers on the chicken wings—she was going to use them to make shuttlecocks!

　　Mu Qiong took the initiative to shave the chicken, Zhu Wanwan cut the soaked dried bamboo shoots and kelp beside him, and Zhu Yu was in charge of cleaning the fresh vegetables.

　　When Fu Yun'an came over, he saw that the three of them were very busy, but his cook was standing beside him, a little at a loss.

　　Seeing this, Fu Yun'an said to the cook, "I don't need your help here, go back and rest."

　　The cook nodded and went back quickly.

　　When she left, Fu Yun'an asked, "What can I do?"

　　Fu Yun'an really doesn't seem like someone who can cook, but Zhu Wanwan still said: "Go and chop the minced meat, we'll make croquettes later."

　　When there was a shortage of oil and water, Zhu Wanwan wished that there would be more fat in the meatballs when making meatballs, but now that there is no shortage of oil and water, she doesn't like to eat fatty meat anymore. The pork she prepares is more lean and less fat. , I plan to chop it up and put it in.

　　In the past, everyone did this to save meat, but now she does it for the sake of delicious food.

　　They divided labor and cooperated, and Zhu Wanwan finally cooked a lot of food and set up a table in the hall to worship "Nian Bodhisattva".
