For the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, even if they didn't prepare a full banquet spread, they would still have a comprehensive range of meat and vegetable dishes. Murong De even insisted on perfection and matched the meal with some desserts. Due to this, they had even more work to do.
"Although there's a lot of beef, we can't just have only beef on the table. Two broods of chicks just hatched in the chicken coop in front of us. Let's catch a rooster and slaughter it. That rooster is very ferocious. It always bullies the hens until they run all over the place in fright. It also fights with other roosters. Let's eat it."
Murong De followed Zhao Neng to the chicken coop early in the morning to catch chickens while Jiang Yang brought Wang Su to the fish ponds to catch fresh fish. Hea Shouyi had said that there must be a fish dish in the New Year's Eve dinner to ring in an auspicious new year.
