Hard times have room

Chapter 1006 Stewed Old Hen Soup
That old hen weighed about three pounds and cost Pauline five yuan. I feel bad!After all, the old hen has no meat and no oil.

In the end, Pauline walked with a sack. Without the sack, this chicken would be difficult to handle. It would be too ostentatious to carry an old hen out of the black market.

The eggs are in her schoolbag. Now the eggs are very small, twenty, but only two or three pounds. They are not heavy at all. She walks slowly, moves carefully, and is not afraid of knocking eggs. broken.

Su Hongying was startled for a moment when she saw Bao Lin who came out with a large bag and a small bag, but she quickly reacted and took the sack that Bao Lin was carrying.

She didn't say anything, followed Pauline directly to the station, got on the bus, and put her heart back into her stomach.

Since there were only two of them in the car, Su Hongying had no shyness to speak, and asked directly, "Paulin, did you buy this chicken on the black market?"

The moment the bag was in her hands, she heard the sound inside the bag. She had been dealing with poultry all her life and heard it at once. It was only a few years before she raised chickens. The husband and wife are busy at home, and there are not enough manpower!
If she has the conditions, Su Hongying still wants to raise one or two chickens at home. If nothing else, the eggs laid by the chickens are enough for her to be happy. It would be great if the chickens could still sell for money when they were old.

But she really can't take care of it, and she can't keep it. There are more than a dozen bamboo rats at home!She can't put the bamboo rat at home in danger because of one or two chickens, the bamboo rat is the big head of the family.

After all, we really want to raise chickens at home, and the chickens that are often not at home are like big fat pigs tied under the trees, and they are slaughtered by others?At that time, the bamboo rat in the family was implicated, and the most valuable things in the family could not be kept.

"Well, although pork is sold on the black market, it's not very fresh. It is estimated that it was killed yesterday or the day before yesterday. I touched the meat with my hands and smelled it, and it smelled a little bit."

"Besides, there is no old hen stewing soup for pork to nourish your body. When you go back, kill the chicken, and the stewed soup will nourish your body. The doctor said, you need to eat something nutritious."

Baolin is very good at shopping now, and Xu Rui's cultivation is indisputable.

When she was in school, Pauline often accompanied her to buy things in that alley, and the things in that alley were really affordable.

Now their dormitory has a coal stove. Xu Rui brought some coal back through her father. In the winter, it would be more refreshing to have a side stove in the dormitory. In winter, everyone really wants to be hot.

"How expensive is this chicken!"

"Paulin, how much did you pay for the chicken?" Su Hongying said while pulling the mouth of the sack to see the chicken inside.

"This is a very old old hen, and the hair is a little bald. It is estimated that it will not be very easy to lay eggs. Otherwise, it will not be sold."

"With the eggs in my schoolbag, five yuan is enough. After all, this chicken is rare." Paulin quietly hid it a little.

As for what her mother said about the old chicken, she doesn't mind at all, how delicious the chicken is at this time!They all grew up eating grass and insects, and the stewed soup is fragrant.

Although this chicken is very old, it can be boiled for a while. It doesn't matter. The chicken soup stewed by the old hen is better.

At noon, the two of them ate bowls of plain noodles at the state-run restaurant next to the station. In the county seat, the two of them had no acquaintance and no place to stay, so they stayed at the station and sat in the bus in Hongxing Town.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two walked home.

As soon as she got home, Pauline was busy, making medicine for her mother, adding a large bowl of water to the casserole, putting a small packet of Chinese herbal medicine wrapped in gauze into the casserole, and simmering over low heat.

It took almost an hour to finally boil a large bowl of water into a small bowl of black medicine.

Paulin is not sensitive to the taste of Chinese medicine. When scooping up the potion, she turns her head frequently. The taste is really unpleasant.

Looking at the posture of her mother drinking the medicine, she also knew that the taste of the medicine was very touching.

Before drinking the medicine, Su Hongying put the bowl of medicine on the stool and let it dry for about ten minutes. When the temperature of the medicine became warm, she picked up the bowl and took a sip. After that, she drank two bowls of water. But she still felt that her mouth was bitter, it was an indescribable bitter taste, and she didn't like it either.

While Paulin was cooking the medicine, Su Hongying had already boiled water in a large iron pot at home, killed the chicken, and cleaned up by the way.

At this moment, Bai Shengsheng's chicken has been placed on the chopping board, next to a sea bowl, which contains the internal organs taken out from the chicken's stomach, and the chicken blood is placed in a small bowl. The chicken blood is dripped into the salt water and fully After stirring, by this time, it has already set.

After Su Hongying finished drinking the medicine, she started to chop chicken nuggets, while Paulin cleaned the casserole that had just boiled the medicine.

Baolin, the traditional Chinese medicine wrapped in gauze, did not throw away. After tying it with a rope, the traditional Chinese medicine bag was hung by Baolin from a pomegranate branch in the yard.

The chicken nuggets that Su Hongying chopped were not big. The chicken was weighed with the chicken feathers. It only weighed three kilograms. When the feathers were plucked, the blood flowed, and the internal organs were taken out, and there would be less than two kilograms left. Block points, what to eat!Just pick up a few pieces, just taste it, and it's gone.

Fresh old hens don't need to be blanched at all, they can be simmered directly in the pot. You only need to add a little ginger and simmer slowly. When it is about to come out of the pot, add a little salt. You don't need to add anything else.

The casserole on this side is stewing chicken, and the iron pot on the other side is cooking porridge, multigrain porridge, and some grains at home, such as rice, millet, brown rice, and corn.

Wang Jiandang came back from work and was overjoyed to see that both mother and daughter were at home. Today, he is alone at home, and his daughter-in-law, who has been with him for more than ten years, is not at all.

While Paulin was cooking in the kitchen, the couple went outside and muttered in the yard. Although there was nothing shameful about it, when Paulin heard it, Su Hongying would feel awkward and went out to talk.

Regarding what Su Hongying said, Wang Jiandang was both happy and disappointed. The joy was that the two of them finally had some hope, and the loss was that the doctor in the county hospital did not give the right words, whether they could get pregnant.

He knows that this kind of thing can't be rushed, but he is over 40 years old, and his wife is younger than him, but there is not much difference, only five years old. If his wife can't conceive when she is young, when she is older , not to mention.

Besides, if he is really old and pregnant, it is still a big problem whether his daughter-in-law's body can bear it.

Married to him for so many years, she has suffered a lot!
