Chapter 43: Seeking for Other Opportunity

Ning Erlang finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Only then did Xiaoxiao pat her chest. “I’m finally done coaxing them. You guys chat slowly. I’m going to cook.”

Ning Dalang couldn’t bear for her to tire herself alone, so he took the initiative to do the heavy work of kneading the dough. Xiaoxiao kept saying, “Big Brother is the best”, and Ning Erlang wanted to pout again when he heard that. The kind vendor had already chopped up the pig bones she had bought. After washing and boiling water to remove the impurities of the blood foam, she simmered them over medium heat.

There were not many things at home, but enough firewood. Ning Erlang had already piled the firewood up high. The firewood at home could not be finished in half a month. She put a handful of green onions and a few pieces of old ginger in the soup. When it was boiling, she sprinkled some salt and waited.

During this period, she dealt with the pigs’ internal organs.

The pigs’ internal organs they bought were the pig intestines that no one wanted the most. Xiaoxiao removed a large handful of wood ash and placed the large intestines in a basin to wash by the river. She also took the two bamboo baskets Ning Fengnian had made along the way. Since she had already gone, she might as well bring some fresh prawns back.

Ning Erlang did not know where his sister got her confidence from. She even asked him to bring a bucket while he picked her up in an hour. However, after a few grunts, he still obediently washed the bucket and placed it by the door before serving the five furry chicks.

The courtyard of this old house was not big, but it was not difficult to circle out a piece for them to live in. They could not feed such small chicks casually. They would fall sick if they ate unclean things.

Ning Erlang informed Madam Song before he went to the field to find yellow leaves. He tore them into pieces and mixed them with grain chaff. The chicks ate happily. About two hours later, he carried a bucket and thought, “How can we catch prawns in the river now?” However, he walked quickly to find his sister.

When he reached the river, Xiaoxiao had already rubbed the large intestines clean with the ashes of the plants. Her eyes were sore, and she could only sigh that this pig had eaten a lot when it was alive.

Ning Erlang’s heart ached when he saw this. He snatched the job from her. He could only blame himself for letting his sister wash this thing. He had already bought it, so what if he washed it?

Xiaoxiao followed his advice and stood up to hit her waist like an old lady. “Second Brother, you’re the best.”

Ning Erlang said, “Leave it to me next time. You don’t even have strength. Can you wash it clean?”

Xiaoxiao was not angry and used to her second brother’s uprightness. She jumped to pick up the bamboo basket to catch the prawns. After lifting the basket, she exaggeratedly cried and poured the prawns into the wooden bucket. Ning Erlang was so shocked that he lost control of his expression. “So many?”

Xiaoxiao said that the prawns were caught using pig internal organs as bait. Ning Erlang listened casually and didn’t care much. He asked Xiaoxiao how to cook these prawns. Xiaoxiao looked at him as if she was looking at a brat. “You only know how to eat. Can’t we seek for the other opportunity?”

“It’s the last day of the market tomorrow. Won’t people snatch all the fresh prawns? We can cook those that are too small tonight. After clearing the prawn shells, we’ll chop them up and add more food to the chicks.”

Huh, that’s right. Why didn’t he think of that? His sister must have recently fed him silly!

When they got home, Ning Erlang did not feel his sister had arranged for him. He packed the bamboo basket and distributed the prawns according to their size. He was very busy. The soup in the kitchen had already begun to emit a fragrance. Xiaoxiao added some firewood and used the fire to force out the meat scraps in the bones before starting to make handmade noodles.

The dough her brother kneaded was always her favourite, and the strength was right. After the noodles were prepared, Xiaoxiao placed them aside to cool them before she started to process the large intestines..
