Yu Jinggui knew what life was like in Lishan Village.
I can't eat meat even once a year, and I only have a limited number of chickens at home, which I basically keep for laying eggs.
Unless there are distinguished guests at home during the Chinese New Year, they will not be killed on other holidays.
Chicken is an extremely precious food.
It is normal for Zhao Xiaoyan to behave like this.
He didn't want Chen Xiaoni to be like this, or even gobble up food like Zhao Youchang's two sons.
Although he understands that they have been hungry for a long time and are now very hungry.
But it's really hard to see and sad.
He has the conditions, the current environment is better, and his family can have meat for every meal, and he doesn't want his daughter to suffer like this.
He must take Chen Xiaoni out of Lishan Village.
He handed the untouched meat in his bowl to Zhao Xiaoyan.
Zhao Xiaoyan was stunned, raised her head and looked at him stupidly, then looked at Zhao Youchang and Liu Jiamei.
Zhao Youchang and Liu Jiamei were both stunned. Zhao Youchang said awkwardly: "Comrade Yu, eat it, don't do this."
"Yes, Comrade Yu, why are you giving it to her? Isn't it a waste to give it to her?" Liu Jiamei said, in terms of who is the most patriarchal person in Lishan Village, the first one is definitely Jiang Chunxiu, and the second one is Liu Jiamei.
Yu Jinggui didn't like hearing this, but he didn't express it too much, and he had no intention of educating Liu Jiamei. He didn't care what others thought.
He just said calmly: "It's okay, it's time for Xiaoyan to grow, so she should eat more meat."
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhi glanced at the chicken held between her chopsticks and put it into Zhao Xiaoyan's bowl unhappily, but with a smile on her face she said kindly: "Xiaoyan, eat it."
She was suddenly a little angry, angry that she would be reluctant to part with a piece of chicken. She thought that when she was at home, it was not a problem to eat a chicken, but what conditions are there now.
She actually wants a piece of chicken.
So angry!
If Chen Zhaozhao hadn't ruined her good deeds, why would she still be suffering like this now?
The more Jiang Yuzhi thought about it, the angrier she became, and her resentment towards Chen Zhaozhao soared like crazy.
Zhao Youfeng, Yu Jinggui and Jiang Yuzhi were both like this. He looked at the remaining piece of chicken in the bowl and gave it to Zhao Xiaoyan, saying: "Eat quickly."
Zhao Xiaoyan was so pleasantly surprised that she immediately started eating happily.
The two brothers Zhao Xiaowu and Zhao Xiaoshan were greedy when they saw the chicken in Zhao Xiaoyan's bowl. Liu Jiamei was greedy and distressed when she saw the chicken in her daughter's bowl.
Seeing her two sons like this, she just wanted to give the meat to her son, but Yu Jinggui and Jiang Yuzhi were there, and the head of the family also asked Zhao Xiaoyan to eat it, so she had no choice but to admit it no matter how greedy she was.
She couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xiaoyan, thinking that since Xiaoyan had eaten so much meat tonight, she would have to do all the dishes, laundry, boiling water, and so on tonight.
Yu Jinggui saw their performance in his eyes and sighed silently in his heart.
At the same time, Chen Zhaozhao’s family was also having dinner.
On the table is a bowl of cabbage leaf soup, a bowl of fried wild vegetables, a bowl of fried cabbage stalks, and a small bowl of rice for each person.
Lishan Village is located in the southwest, where rice is grown as the staple food, and rice is what we eat every day.
Chen Zhaozhao had an extra stewed egg in front of her because she was a wounded person and needed to recuperate.
"Give this egg to Xiaoni." Chen Zhaozhao brought the egg to Chen Xiaoni.
Originally she was a wounded person, so Liu Guihua and the others asked her to lie down on the bed and brought her food.
She refused and went out to eat with everyone. Before the food was served, she went to the kitchen and quietly added some spiritual spring water to the food.
She can now draw spiritual spring water from her fingertips with just a thought. This is something she just returned to her room to study.
It's amazing that people can draw water out without entering the space.
Chen Xiaoni looked at her confused.
Liu Guihua quickly said: "You are injured, you have to replenish your body and eat it yourself."
"I can't eat eggs because of my injury." Chen Zhaozhao explained with a smile, looking at Chen Xiaoni with a gentle smile, "Our Xiaoni is still growing, so that's what needs to be repaired most."
Chen Xiaoni looked at her curiously, looked at her smiling face, and smiled involuntarily.
Seeing her shy and innocent smile, Chen Zhaozhao was moved and a little sad. Xiaoni was too introverted and timid because of her unstable mood and tantrums.
"Xiao Ni, hurry up and eat, otherwise it will get cold soon."
Chen Xiaoni looked at Liu Guihua questioningly.
Liu Guihua asked hesitantly: "You are really injured and can't eat eggs?"
"You can't eat it." Chen Zhaozhao affirmed that she was almost recovered and could actually eat it, but she just said that on purpose.
"Ah?" Liu Guihua was confused, "Mr. Zhao didn't say you can't eat it. Otherwise, I'll kill a chicken to replenish your health tomorrow."
"No need." Chen Zhaozhao refused, "You can't eat chicken, as the book says." With the extent of her injury, she really couldn't eat chicken, otherwise she would easily get inflammation.
"Is there such a statement in the book?" Liu Guihua was puzzled and said sadly: "Then what should I do to replenish your body?"
"You don't need to do anything special." Chen Zhaozhao said, "Just eat something light and fresh, such as cabbage and green vegetables."
"Tomorrow I will go to the black market in town to buy a bone to stew." Chen Dawang said.
In this era, the only time villagers want to eat pork is during the Chinese New Year, when the production team collectively kills the New Year pigs and exchanges them for work points. If they want to eat pork during the day, they can only buy it quietly on the black market.
At this time, private buying and selling was not allowed, but everyone would do it privately and secretly, and the market created in this way was called the black market.
Usually, if people want to buy things, they need corresponding tickets. They go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy. Rural people have very few opportunities to get tickets. Usually, they can only go to the black market if they want to buy something.
But the prices on the black market are more expensive than those in supply and marketing cooperatives.
Chen Zhaozhao hurriedly refused, "No, Dad."
She knew the situation at home, because grandma and the others often came to catch the autumn wind, and they were very nervous about food and money.
"Let's just decide, let's eat." Chen Dawang decided not to say more.
Chen Zhaozhao knew that although his father was honest and silent, his decision would never change.
Maybe her stubbornness was inherited from her father, she thought funnyly, without saying anything else, she buried herself in eating and just bought a bone. It would be a good time for everyone to improve the food together.
"Wow~" Chen Simei suddenly exclaimed, "Sister, how did you cook this dish tonight? It's so fragrant and delicious."
"Yes, this dish tastes really good tonight." Others also praised it in surprise.
"I'll just fry it like I usually do." Chen Damei was also surprised, why did this dish taste so much better than usual tonight?
Only Chen Zhaozhao knew that this was the result of Lingquan water. After being moisturized by Lingquan water, the quality of these dishes has changed from average or even poor to top quality, fully bringing out the delicious flavor of the food itself.
Chen Zhaozhao had just gone to the kitchen and was overjoyed when she discovered the effects of Lingquan water. She did not expect that Lingquan water had such effects.
"Sister, let me tell you quietly, I just added a spoonful of oil to the water you used to blanch vegetables." Chen Zhaozhao wanted to make this matter normal, so he found an excuse that was almost reasonable.
Rural areas in this era are in short supply of everything, especially in their homes, where cooking and cooking oil are all something they use on a budget.
Normally there is a lack of oil in the dishes, but now that oil is suddenly added, of course it will be much more fragrant.
Everyone also believed this explanation, but they asked, "Zhaozhao, what did you just say?" Chen Damei asked with great distress, "Did you put a spoonful of oil in the water where I blanched vegetables?"
