As they walked to the dilapidated shed, they happened to see her holding a chicken, her brow furrowed with a hint of menace, looking quite distressed.
Manbao glanced at the chicken and couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, are you slaughtering such a small chicken?"
The woman was startled by the sudden sound, and her hand released the chicken, which flew away.
Manbao was also a bit shocked by the way she held a knife.
She had watched people slaughter chickens since childhood, but she had never seen anyone hold a knife like that.
The woman realized and quickly pointed the knife blade downward, forcing a smile, "It's you, sir. Did I scare you?"
Manbao shook her head, looking at the chickens in the shed, and found that none of them were big, at least not ready to be eaten.
However, these tender chickens would certainly be delicious when stir-fried, but there were few vegetables, perhaps adding a bit of cornelian cherry for flavor...
