Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 559
At the same time, Cheng He's family has also returned from Xiaolian Mountain and is preparing to have dinner.

The people who were with them today at Peach Blossom Lake also went back to their respective homes.The appearance of the peacock has indeed left a very good memory in everyone's heart.

After returning, Cheng He first dried the unfinished Hericium erinaceus, so as not to get moldy somewhere and waste it.

Then it's dinner time.

This afternoon, Cheng Xinxin saw a video of eating chicken legs on TV. It was a foreign gourmet show. There was a huge chicken leg in the video, and the little guy was drooling while watching it.

So, since then, she has hummed every once in a while: "Dad, I want to eat big chicken drumsticks, Dad, I want to eat big chicken drumsticks..."

Cheng He asked her: "Baby, don't you like to eat the big chicken legs at home?"

"I... I like to eat." Thinking of the tempting big chicken legs in the video, the little girl swallowed again.

Cheng He pursed his lips and said, "Why didn't you like eating before?"

In other words, when Cheng He was young, if a guest came to the house and killed a chicken, then most likely one chicken leg belonged to the guest and the other chicken leg belonged to him.

Therefore, I have been looking forward to guests since I was a child.

But now, after the material conditions have improved, his daughter doesn't like eating chicken legs so much. Maybe she doesn't like to eat such a large amount of meat, or it may be for other reasons. Anyway, she doesn't seem to be interested in whole chicken legs.

Usually, he would cut the chicken legs into small pieces for stewing soup, or simply remove the meat and shred it, stir-fry it, and she would prefer to eat some.

Today, after just watching the video, she decided that other people's chicken drumsticks were extremely delicious, and she kept arguing for it.

Cheng He asked a few more times to see if she really wanted to eat it, lest she would stop eating the big chicken drumstick after a while.

In the end Cheng Xinxin said, "That's because... because... our chicken drumsticks are too small. I want to eat the big ones!"

Cheng He: "..."

Big chicken legs!
The small chicken drumsticks are not good, but the big ones are delicious? !

The big chicken legs in that video should be turkey legs, the kind of chicken that European countries eat every Christmas.

A turkey weighs about 10 kilograms. It is a huge chicken. As far as Cheng He is concerned, that kind of chicken is really not good. The meat is dry and woody, and there is no feeling of eating meat.

It is estimated that those foreigners also think so. It is only the annual Christmas, and it is shameful not to eat it, so they barely eat it.

Cheng He said to his daughter: "Honey, that's not delicious..."

Cheng Xinxin opened her eyes wide, her black jewel-like pupils gleamed, her eyelashes curled up, and she said in a firm and yearning tone, "That's delicious, I know it's delicious just by looking at it."

Well, she swallowed again.

I also blame the video for being too delicious, but that's exactly what happened.

But what to do?The child wants to eat.

The child's request is not high, but he just wants to eat. Cheng He, a father, thinks that this request should be fulfilled-but, where can I buy turkey?

On the way home, he figured out a way—try it out, maybe he can get away with it and make this guy fall in love with eating chicken legs from now on.

In other words, this trip back from Xiaolian Mountain was the easiest one. He didn't carry much, and he had a good night's rest without sleeping in a tent. The whole family ate well, so he wasn't too tired.

Even Bai Qian didn't rest right away when she came back, but made a pot of tea for the whole family first.The tea is jujube and wolfberry tea, which is moistened with honey.

The red dates are the red dates produced by the jujube trees in their yard. They have harvested a lot this year. Except for a few meals of fresh jujube buns, the rest of the uneaten ones have been dried and can be eaten at any time.

I usually grab a handful of it when making soup, and I can't finish it for a year.Sometimes I just take it out to make tea or something.

Jujube nourishes qi and blood, has the effect of enhancing physical fitness and strengthening muscles. Anyway, it is ready-made at home, and it is not troublesome to soak at all.

After Cheng He took a short rest, seeing that it was time for dinner, he thought about what to have for today's new dinner.It takes some brains to make super-large drumsticks.

His plan is, if there is no turkey leg, he will use ordinary chicken leg instead, and then find a way to make the chicken leg bigger, and the taste will be made according to her taste, that should be fine.

Needless to say, I slaughtered a chicken first, and then went to the village pig butcher's house to cut a catty of pork belly and came back. This is the food for tonight.

Bai Qian complained: "Old Cheng, why are you slaughtering another chicken? Didn't you just make soup at noon today? Stewed bone soup with Hericium erinaceus."

Well, today Cheng He's name has been changed to "Old Cheng".

The bones were prepared in the refrigerator, and the Hericium erinaceus was picked in the woods. After the soup was ready and served on the table, it didn't take long for it to bottom out.

It is said that Hericium erinaceus is not delicious when it is fresh, it depends on who makes it.

For Bai Qian, that was greasy enough, but when she came back, she killed another chicken for dinner.

Cheng He burned some boiling water to pluck the hair, and said, "Didn't you hear just now? Your daughter wants to eat big chicken legs, but the small chicken legs are not good, so I want to eat big ones. Don't I have to find a way?"

"Yeah, she doesn't like to eat small chicken legs, don't you get small chicken legs too?" Bai Qian said.

"Don't worry, with me here, a small chicken leg can become a big one." Cheng He was very leisurely.

He said: "Hey, having said that, you still have complaints about eating Hericium erinaceus stewed bone soup at noon and chicken at night? Then what do you want?"

"Me? Let me tell you, I just want to eat some lentils, beans, eggplant, celery, cabbage..." Bai Qian said with great anticipation.

Yes, all vegetarian.

Cheng He asked her: "You only care about yourself? How can a vegetarian be nutritious?"

"When did I only care about myself? Didn't I also eat the bone soup at noon? I also drank two big bowls of soup. My God, how can I lose weight!" Bai Qian squeezed herself lower back, said distressedly.

Cheng He pursed his mouth: "I really wronged you!"

"That's not right! Tell you, I can't lose weight by then, so I'm in a hurry with you!"

"Okay, hurry up, eat first and then talk."

One of them plucked their hair while the other chatted. The time was quiet here, and Cheng Xinxin went to find her little friend to play alone.

When I saw a beautiful peacock dancing, I had to talk to my friends.

At this time, Bai Qian was chatting with Cheng He, and suddenly remembered a joke from before. She was drinking a sip of jujube flower, and almost spit it out.

Cheng He looked at her like that and said, "Slow down, you still want to drink water, you are still five years old?"

Bai Qian coughed twice, stopped, and said, "It's really funny. Stop and listen to me."

"You tell your story, I can hear you, why stop?"

Bai Qian smiled and said, "Did I call you 'Old Cheng' just now? Doesn't this remind me of the past. Let me tell you, my former female colleague was named Zhu, do you remember?"

"How long has it been, how can I still remember? Which one is surnamed Zhu?"

Before Cheng He and Bai Qian met, she worked as a salesperson in a convenience store. It's been a few years since she was a colleague at that time.

Bai Qian said, "Oh, it's just... Forget it, it's not important, you know? Once, her husband's father came from the countryside to live in their rented house for a few days to see them..."

When she said this, she suddenly couldn't stop laughing.

Cheng He raised his brows and said, "What's so funny about it? Isn't it right for a father to visit his son? What's so funny about it?"

"No, listen to me. That day when they were having dinner at home, my female colleague said to her husband, 'Lao Yang, give me another bowl of rice.' The rice cooker was far away from her. Well...hahaha..."

Having said that, Bai Qian laughed again.

Cheng He stretched out his hand to look at his hand covered with chicken feathers. Forget it, you can't hit people, otherwise the smell of chicken feathers will be everywhere, so bear with it.

He complained: "Your smile is too low, isn't it?"

"No, listen to me. She asked her husband to add food, but unexpectedly, her husband's father stood up quietly and took her bowl to add food, which scared her Enough! How dare she ask her father-in-law to help her with food, when her husband also stayed away." Bai Qian laughed.

"why?"

"Why? Didn't you hear? My female colleague said, 'Lao Yang, give me a bowl of rice'. She usually calls her husband 'Lao Yang', but her husband's father is also named Yang. And that's the serious 'Old Yang', her father-in-law thought it was his daughter-in-law ordering him around! Then he went to get more food in silence." Bai Qian laughed.

At this, Cheng He also laughed.

That scene must have been quite embarrassing.
