Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 439: The Beautiful and Charming Young Husband (14)
Thanks to several lifetimes of experience, Lin Jinyu was particularly skilled at killing chickens. With a flick of the knife, the chicken's head came off. Since it was already dead, there was no need to bleed it.

Use boiling water to scald the chicken feathers. When they are almost done, take them out and start plucking them. The feathers of pheasants are very bright and have many more colors than domestic chickens.

In ancient times, many people would mistake it for a phoenix. That is why some people compare chickens and phoenixes, because they are indeed somewhat similar.

The plucked feathers don't have to be thrown away. Instead of making pillows, the longer feathers can be used to make shuttlecocks. They can be sold in town, probably to the sons of wealthy families.

Lu Mingfei watched from the side, wanting to help, but he didn't dare. He had never done this kind of work before, so everything seemed very new to him.

The pheasant was skinned clean and the internal organs were taken out. It was handled very cleanly and the chicken looked firm and not too fatty.

Because there weren't many seasonings and the dishes at home weren't very complete, Lin Jinyu simply put some green onions and ginger into the casserole. The original flavor was retained, and the addition of mountain spring water made it even more fresh and sweet.

If she makes money in the future, she would like to add some Codonopsis pilosula into it, which may also help to nourish the body.

Chicken soup was simmering on the small stove, and steam was rising from the big pot. People are made of iron and food is made of steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry, so you must cook.

While burning wood, Lu Mingfei was thinking about what to say. He looked up at Lin Jinyu who looked serious, and he couldn't help but lower his head again. His heart was beating a little faster, not because he was shy, but purely because he was nervous.

He also knew that he didn't have much say in this family, after all, he was bought in. It was just that people were happy to spoil him, so they didn't let him do the dirty work.

But what happens after a while? You might become dissatisfied.

Just like his mother, after marrying his stepfather, she slowly began to dislike him. For the same reason, he couldn't make the same mistake again.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, cheered himself up in his heart, then raised his eyes firmly, mustered up the courage to say: "Lin, Lin Jinyu, can I learn to cook from you in the future? I can help too!"

After he finished speaking, he waited anxiously for her answer. Even though he knew what the answer was, he still couldn't help but look forward to it.

"If you want to learn, just learn. It's not a difficult thing. Once you learn it, you can cook for yourself when I'm not at home." Lin Jinyu had no other thoughts in her mind. After all, her family was poor, and she couldn't stay with him alone all day.

Lu Mingfei felt a little disappointed. Perhaps what he wanted to hear was something like "You don't have to study. I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

But he soon realized that this was not a good thing. The more he continued like this, the more he would degenerate. How could he not learn anything?

The son of his stepfather was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But he knew nothing. He had thought about escaping before, but he hadn't thought about it carefully. How could he survive without money or power?
Therefore, sweet words can only satisfy vanity, and the only one people can really rely on is themselves.

As she said, what if she is not at home in the future? Then should he wait for her to come back and cook for him?
"I will study hard so that you won't have to work so hard in the future." Although there wasn't much work to do, it was obvious that the workload became a little heavier with him added.

In the past, I might have boiled water for only one person, but now I have to boil water for two people. In the past, I might have cooked a little at noon and just had something to do at night, but now, in order to make him adapt, I have to cook in different ways.

Putting aside the fact that he was sold, this was actually the luckiest thing that happened to Lu Mingfei in the past few years, that was meeting her, someone who would not bully him but take care of him everywhere.

He was in a complicated mood, he could clearly feel that he was falling step by step, but he was unwilling to pull himself out of it. He had suffered too much in the past, so anyone who gave him a little sweetness would make him remember it.

A whole pheasant was stewed into chicken soup, the soup tasted so fresh and sweet that people couldn't help but drink bowl after bowl.

But after all, it is based on rice, so drinking too much soup will easily make your stomach bloated. Lu Mingfei held a chicken leg in his hand, which was specially picked by Lin Jinyu for him. He put it in the end to eat. It was also because he had never eaten anything good before, so when he saw something good, he always wanted to save it for the end. He planned to finish eating this chicken leg and not eat it anymore.

Putting down his chopsticks, he cleaned up the dishes very obediently. Seeing Lin Jinyu was about to move, he quickly stopped her.

"Let me wash the dishes today. You've been tired all day."

After walking for a whole morning, I didn't rest much before I cooked. After eating, I rested for a while and went up the mountain again. After a busy afternoon, I carried so much firewood back home. Before I stopped to rest, I started to busy myself with collecting the chickens.

It feels like a spinning top with no chance of stopping.

Lin Jinyu raised her eyebrows and did not refuse. "Then I'll leave it to you. I can take a rest as well."

"Ah."

She was indeed a little tired and sleepy. Even a cow would find it hard to bear such high-intensity work.

But now it was getting dark, and if she wanted to sleep at this time, she would sleep until dawn.

So she planned to take a bath before going to bed.

While Lu Mingfei was washing dishes, she took out the herbs from the backpack and put them in the dustpan in the yard to dry. Although fresh herbs can be used to reduce weight, they are not expensive and cannot be sold at a high price.

But the dried and processed herbs are light and valuable. She doesn't plan to go to town these days, so she takes advantage of this time to stock up on herbs so that she can exchange them for more money next time she goes.

After summer comes autumn. Although it is not very cold at that time, given their current situation, it will be difficult for them to survive until winter.

So before that, she had to find a way to buy some clothes for the winter so that she wouldn't be clueless when the time came.

"Clang!"

A voice interrupted her thoughts. She stood up and walked to the kitchen, and saw Lu Mingfei standing there with a bewildered look on his face.

On the ground, there was a pile of broken porcelain pieces.

Seeing her coming over, he hurriedly explained: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't... mean it, I just accidentally slipped. I will compensate you, I'm sorry!" Can you please stop hitting me.

He was a little scared because he was always beaten when he did something wrong at home.

When I was little, I wondered why my younger brother could get into trouble at will, but I didn’t understand until I grew up.

He squatted down and wanted to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, but he saw the other person's raised hand out of the corner of his eye and closed his eyes.
