Twenty-seven to kill chickens. Before, there were no large chicken farms and slaughter processing plants like this, and there were no clean whole chickens and divided chickens for sale. Therefore, people buy live chickens, slaughter them on the spot, bring them back and clean them before cooking.

Twenty-eight handfuls of dough are prepared for the staple food. At that time, there was no convenient and quick starter used now, and there was a lot of flour to be made, so we had to prepare enough in advance.
