The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 174 Sending Wild Chickens

"Here, take the water! You can go now, here's the kettle too," Wen Zixun said, taking the kettle from his wheelchair and giving it to him.

"Thank you, young man."

Lin Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to him again, and Wen Zixun waved his hand to indicate that everything was alright, then pushed Wen Zizhong back.

As Wen Zizhong entered, he glanced back and wondered why the person's voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Wen Zixun didn't think much of it; after returning home, he started washing vegetables.

He was humming a little tune and swaying his head in a great mood. When his sister went out, she said she wanted to eat braised fish for dinner, so he had to hurry up and prepare all the ingredients.

After drinking half a pot of water, Lin Feng felt like he had come back to life. The sun had already set, and he still didn't know where he should go.

The sky didn't look like it was going to rain, so he walked into a field, picked some straw, spread it on the roadside, and lay down there, looking refreshed.

"Auntie, why is that person lying on the side of the road?"

Er Ya was sitting in the carriage with the window open. She immediately saw someone by the roadside.

It was pitch black and not very clear to Wen Luozhi, but the sudden sight was a little frightening.

"The village guardian?" Looking at the man, she suddenly remembered a video she had seen while playing with a glowing board.

In each village, there is a mentally unstable person who stays in the village. They help out when needed, and in return, they receive some food as payment.

But where in the village could she find one? She had been here for so long and had never seen one.

"What village guardian? We don't have one in our village! Maybe some beggar has come here for food."

Xie He lowered the curtains, telling the aunt and nephew to stop looking. It was easier to encounter unclean things at night, so it was better not to look around carelessly.

After resting briefly inside, the group began cooking. Wen Luozhi couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at the several plates of dark, stir-fried vegetables on the table.

Recently, Xie He has been teaching his brothers to cook, and Wen Zixun is the most enthusiastic every day, saying that he will cook something good for Wen Luozhi.

Although Wen Luozhi was touched, she still didn't want to deprive herself of food, as she had forced herself to eat it a few times before...

"Sixth Brother, you've been working hard at home during the autumn harvest. You can wait until I get back to cook dinner."

Wen Zixun scratched his head and said with concern, "Sixth Brother was worried that you would be hungry and not have anything to eat when you came back. It was hard work in town!"

My younger sister is a little girl who has to travel back and forth between her home and town, which is both physically and mentally taxing.

He doesn't know much about business and can't offer much help, so he can only do more housework when he's at home.

Wen Luozhi saw Wen Zixun about to put the still-dripping fish into the oil and quickly stopped him, "Sixth Brother! I'm not tired! You go and rest, let me do it!"

She pushed Wen Zixun aside, snatched the fish from his hand, and then pushed him out of the kitchen.

Are you kidding me? If that fish were just put into a pot of boiling oil like that, wouldn't the oil splatter everywhere?! They'd both get blisters all over their bodies.

After everyone left, she washed her hands, wiped the water off the fish, coated it with batter, and started frying.

Wen Luozhi placed the fish in the pot and carefully flipped it over to fry. Soon, the aroma of the fish filled the air.

She skillfully scooped out the fish, sautéed the seasonings, and then added water.

Once the water boils, add the fried fish. When the water has almost boiled down, turn up the heat to reduce the sauce, then sprinkle with chopped green onions.

I originally intended to make a simple four-dish-and-one-soup meal, but I ended up making eight dishes.

The aroma of the food wafted far and wide. Lin Feng was not far from the new house, and his nose was filled with all sorts of strong fragrances.

He touched his stomach and silently took out the remaining few still-warm potatoes from his pocket.

He ate the food in a few bites, drinking the now-cold water, and forced himself to close his eyes while smelling the aroma.

Wen Luozhi got up early to water the flowers, and faint knocking sounds came from outside the courtyard gate.

Huh? Who's here so early?

She put down the basin of water and went over. She peeked through the peephole and saw that no one was outside, but there were still sounds.

She took a deep breath and opened the door. A pheasant flapped its wings and flew in front of her. She picked it up and weighed it in her hand; it was quite heavy.

"Who threw this pheasant?" She walked a few steps, looked around, and called out several times, but no one answered.

After thinking about it, she still left the pheasant at the door. She was worried that it might have been poisoned and she might die if she ate it.

Lin Feng was so anxious behind the big tree that he almost shouted out.

He had gotten up early and caught the pheasant in the mountains with great difficulty. Thinking that he couldn't just eat someone else's food and drink their water for free, he brought it over.

What if someone picks it up after I leave it by the door?

Just as he was about to speak, a large white dog squeezed out from the crack in the door, circled around the live pheasant, and wagged its tail incessantly.

"Awooo! Fresh pheasant! Let's eat salt-baked chicken! Let's eat salt-baked chicken!"

Wolf Batian tugged at Wen Luozhi's skirt, glistening saliva dripping from his wolf mouth.

It's been on a diet these days, only able to eat beef, chicken, and fish.

Fish has bones, it doesn't like to eat beef, and beef is too expensive. It has a big appetite, so this stingy girl has only fed it less than ten times. It's not enough for it!

All the chickens are domesticated, none of them taste as good as these wild pheasants!

Thinking of the fragrant salt-baked chicken, its mouth watered so much that a tuft of feathers got wet on its chest.

Wen Luozhi slapped the wolf's head without any politeness. "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is how to eat! Look how fat you've gotten!"

She grabbed Wolf Overlord's neck and touched a big handful of soft, fat flesh, which made her laugh in anger.

I clearly created a weight-loss meal plan for this fat wolf! Why is it getting fatter and fatter?!

Li Chunxing has been staying at home to rest during her pregnancy, and she is in charge of making Lang Batian's weight loss meals.

She'll ask her sister-in-law soon enough whether she felt sorry for the fat wolf and gave it extra food!

"I didn't catch this pheasant, I don't know who threw it here. If you're not afraid it's poisonous, then eat it! You big glutton!" She slapped Wolf Overlord again, the soft texture of which felt quite nice.

"Woof woof, I'm not a dog!"

Wolf Overlord sniffed the pheasant on the ground. "Not poisonous! Not poisonous! I want to eat salt-baked pheasant!"

Excitedly, it picked up the pheasant from the ground, squeezed through the door, and even glanced back outside. Wen Luozhi couldn't stop it.

Having no other choice, she took out the smallest piece of silver from her sleeve and placed it on the stone steps.

Apart from the villagers, no one else should be bringing pheasants. Everyone's lives have just gotten a little better, so how can we take other people's things for free?

Moreover, once something gets into Wolf Overlord's mouth, it's very difficult to get it out.

The person who delivered the pheasant will probably come back to see if they've received any. Whether they take the money or not is up to them.

She turned and closed the courtyard gate, and only then did Lin Feng laugh heartily behind the big tree.

It's good that you accepted it. He'll feel bad if he eats someone else's food for free.

After waiting a while and seeing that no one came out, he grabbed a handful of weeds and tiptoed over to cover the piece of silver on the stone steps.

This looks like it's worth a tael of silver; it would be a shame if someone else picked it up.

Li Chunxing was cleaning a pheasant when she saw Wen Luozhi come in and asked, "Little sister, how are we going to eat this pheasant?"
