Chapter 105 During the Famine, My Little Aunt Lived a Life of Luxury
Grandma Jiang didn't let anyone into the kitchen to help today.
She even plans to cook for herself these past couple of days.
Unfinished chicken was locked in his room, ensuring no one else had a chance to eat it.
Finally, when the food was served, there was a small bowl in front of Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang, containing chicken feet, chicken head, and chicken innards.
A large basin was placed in the middle of the table, from which a faint fragrance wafted.
But what's most eye-catching is the bowl in front of Jiang Lian, piled high with chicken and a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.
There was no meat to be seen in front of anyone else.
"Mother, you killed the chicken to help Xiaolian get better?"
Jiang Ertian asked.
"This is a wild pheasant that Xiaolian caught herself in the mountains, so Xiaolian will eat the chicken herself, and you can forget about it."
These are gifts from Xiaolian, so don't stare at them.
Look, this pot of chicken soup is what Xiaolian said everyone should try.
"If it weren't for Xiaolian, you wouldn't even be able to smell this."
Lu Cuihua was furious when she saw that there wasn't a single piece of meat in Da Hu's bowl.
"Mother, it's fine if we don't eat, but why isn't Dahu here? Dahu is your grandson."
Xiaolian, that chicken is so big, you can't finish it all by yourself. You could share a chicken wing with Dahu.
"Big Tiger, go call your auntie, she'll give you meat!"
Da Hu actually ran up to Jiang Lian and said, "Auntie, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat."
Jiang Lian immediately protected her bowl.
She remembered that brat taking her hawthorns right away last time; he might just take meat from her bowl next. She'd better watch out for him.
She should probably go back to her room to eat next time; she feels like everyone is eyeing the meat in her bowl like wolves.
"Lu Cuihua, you're getting cocky and restless if you're not disciplined for three days, aren't you? If you don't want to eat this meal, then don't eat it."
Big Tiger, go back. This is your aunt's meat; there's none for you.
If you want to eat it, tell your parents to go up the mountain and catch it.
Xiao Lian can catch pheasants, do you all still want to steal Xiao Lian's?
Eat if you want, don't eat if you don't want to; I'm saving food.
Once Grandma Jiang got angry, no one dared to speak anymore.
Lu Cuihua was afraid that she would have no food to eat again, so she grabbed the pancake in the bowl and stuffed it into her mouth.
She worked in the fields every day, and dared not slack off under Old Man Jiang's watchful eye. She was exhausted every day, and if she didn't eat, it would really kill her.
Grandma Jiang snorted coldly, and no one else dared to utter a sound, silently eating their food.
Although there was no meat, the soup with chicken broth was very fragrant.
Although I can't smell much of the aroma anymore, it's still more flavorful and delicious than the cabbage soup I usually drink.
Big Tiger cried because he had no meat to eat.
Before Old Lady Jiang could speak, Lu Cuihua had already left with Da Hu and the bowl in her arms.
I coaxed him in the room for a long time and then fed him some biscuits.
Grandma Jiang asked Zhao Jingui to clean up the kitchen, fearing that Lu Cuihua might have ulterior motives again.
Zhao Jingui and Jiang Dashu returned to their room to rest and found Jiang He and Jiang Miao acting mysteriously.
After locking the doors and windows, Jiang He and Jiang Miao took out a packet of lotus leaves from the box.
After the lotus leaves were unfolded, the roast chicken inside was revealed.
A rich aroma wafted through the air.
"He'er, Miao'er, where did you come from?"
Jiang Dashu quickly checked the doors and windows again.
"My sister and I caught it on the mountain, but we couldn't remove the fur, so we just cut it off along with the skin, wrapped it in lotus leaves, and roasted it."
"Are there really pheasants on this mountain? Did Jiang Lian really catch a pheasant?"
Jiang Dashu thought that was his mother's excuse, but it was actually just their own chicken, an excuse to let Jiang Lian eat it all by herself.
Given Old Lady Jiang's level of favoritism, she is perfectly capable of doing such a thing.
"Yes, my aunt caught it on the mountain."
They could only smell that pheasant, but they could have a good meal of this one.
Jiang He and Jiang Miao each had a chicken leg and a chicken wing, while Jiang Dashu and Zhao Jingui shared the chicken breast.
They even gnawed the bones clean.
These things must be eaten immediately; otherwise, they might be discovered.
After all, they have to go out to work during the day, and there's no guarantee that someone won't break into their rooms.
Wrap the leftover bones in lotus leaves and secretly dispose of them later.
Jiang Dashu opened the back window to let the smell dissipate.
We dare not open the doors and windows in front.
Although the house does smell of chicken, it's only really strong in the kitchen; it's not noticeable in other areas.
The aroma of the roast chicken is so strong that it's immediately noticeable.
The four of them rinsed their mouths thoroughly to avoid being noticed anything amiss.
For the next few meals, Jiang Lian simply took the chicken back to her room to eat. She felt a strong sense of unease as she ate alone, not knowing how many eyes were watching her.
Especially Lu Cuihua, her second sister-in-law. Jiang Lian hadn't forgotten that on the day she arrived, her mother discovered that Lu Cuihua had stolen eggs.
One has two.
It's reasonable for a second sister-in-law who can steal eggs to steal chicken meat from her as well.
Jiang Lian hasn't gone out these past few days; she's just stayed home guarding her chicken.
After finishing the chicken, Jiang Lian lay in bed for a few more days.
My mouth is starting to water again.
Jiang Lian wanted to go up the mountain again.
Jiang Lian then called on Jiang He.
The main reason was that Jiang He was gathering pig feed at the foot of the mountain every day, and she found it right away.
Others are either too busy to spend time with her, or they are too young and would only cause her trouble.
Jiang He also witnessed firsthand a case of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
The rabbit seemed to be blind, and crashed straight into the tree next to Jiang Lian, lying there stiffly at her feet.
Jiang Lian was startled by the strange, white object that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
It turned out to be a rabbit.
"Xiao He, I caught a rabbit! I caught a rabbit!"
Jiang Lian excitedly picked up the rabbit that had already fainted.
She's really amazing; she caught the rabbit so easily.
Jiang Lian felt that she should come to this mountain more often; there were really good things on this mountain.
No wonder the female protagonists in novels always travel to the mountains when they time-travel; wild chickens and rabbits are very common there.
The really tough ones might encounter wild boars or something.
However, Jiang Lian did not want to see wild boars.
Unlike other transmigrated female protagonists who all have systems and cheat codes, she really has nothing and knows nothing.
We are still alive thanks to Grandma Jiang.
The moment a wild boar appears, her death is nigh. Even if she survives, she'll be severely crippled.
But it would be wonderful to come across treasures like ginseng that can fetch a high price.
Then she would truly have no worries about food and clothing.
Jiang Lian still had Jiang He tie the rabbit's four legs up, and then rushed home.
This time, Jiang Lian learned from her previous experience and instead of putting the item in her room, she waited patiently in the yard for Grandma Jiang to return.
Last time, Lu Cuihua made sarcastic remarks to her, openly and subtly, showing no belief that she could catch a pheasant.
This time, she wanted everyone to see for themselves that she was the one who caught the rabbit.
