Since they were celebrating Gu Ya's recovery from injury, a single chicken was surely not enough. In addition to the chicken provided by Mrs. Chu, the fifth daughter-in-law, Su Yunjin was also planning to cook the half of the meat that was left uneaten in the kitchen.
There were also fish.
There were fish being raised in a bucket, which could be caught and cooked into a fish soup.
Having decided on the dishes, Su Yunjin also planned to make pancakes. There was flour in the kitchen, and eggs too, which could be beaten and mixed with the flour to make egg pancakes.
With many people to feed, a good number would need to be made.
She scooped two bowls of flour and beat four or five eggs into the flour until it was well mixed.
After adding a pinch of salt, as Mrs. Chu stewed the chicken in the pot, Su Yunjin lifted the lid and pressed the egg pancake against the sides of the pot.
In this way, by the time the chicken inside was cooked, the egg pancakes would be ready to eat too.
