One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

Chapter 11 Chicken Stew with Mushrooms

"Hey, where did the pheasant come from?" Mrs. Zhou asked in surprise.

"I exchanged snake meat with that hunter in the village." Hongxue didn't dare to say that it was a gift from him. Anyway, she also returned a snake, so it could be considered a barter.

But as soon as she said this, Zhou Shi was startled again: "What? You met a snake? Did you not get bitten?" As she spoke, she looked Hongxue up and down.

"Mother, I'm fine." Hongxue hugged Zhou's arm warmly in her heart and said, "Although I met a snake, didn't I hold a sickle? I don't know if it was a coincidence, so I beat the snake to death. I happened to meet that Orion, and he said he wanted it, so he would exchange it with me for a pheasant..."

"Elder Sister..." Before the words were finished, a group of radish heads rushed out of the house, seeing the fat pheasant on the ground, they couldn't help shouting happily, "Elder Sister, do we have chicken for dinner?"

"Yes!" Hongxue stroked Hongxiang's hair and said, "Tonight, my sister will cook chicken and mushrooms for you to eat."

"Okay, okay, there's chicken for dinner..." The youngest twins immediately jumped up and down for joy.

"Girl Xue, this is not very good..." Zhou couldn't bear to let the children down, but she couldn't take advantage of them for nothing. In her conception, how could that kind of snake be eaten.

"It's nothing bad." Hongxue interrupted her: "Mother, can you bear to see Xiang'er and the others disappointed? At most, it will be done in a while. Mother, you can send a bowl to the Chen family. Anyway, this chicken is big enough."

After speaking, regardless of Zhou's reaction, he called a few children to clean up the pheasants.

Knowing that there will be chicken to eat at night, several children worked extra hard, holding firewood, boiling water, and shedding chicken feathers. After a while, a fat chicken appeared. In front of Hongxue.

For some reason, Hongxue's eyes were a bit stingy. None of these children were over 15 years old, but they worked as quickly as any adult. In modern times, children of this age group are still above In elementary school, not to mention cooking, even parents and family members have to pick them up to and from school.

It’s true that the children of the poor are already in charge of the family!This made Hongxue even more determined to let them live a good life in the future!

"Big sister, the chicken is done, what else do we need to do?" Second sister Hongshuang dragged her siblings and ran to Hongxue for instructions.

Hongxue exhaled heavily, took out the bag containing the mushrooms, and poured the contents into the basin: "You guys wash this up!"

"Oh, girl Xue, why do you pick this kind of thing back? This will eat people to death." Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou rushed forward to stop the children.

Hongshuang and the others looked at Hongxue in puzzlement.

Hongxue calmly smiled and said: "Who says you can't eat it? This is very fragrant. It's much more delicious than wild vegetables. The reason why they eat something wrong is because they picked poisonous ones. When I pick these, I will first look at the birds." If you eat and pick again, nothing will happen to you, don’t worry.”

Speaking of washing it by myself, these wild mushrooms are more or less poisonous, so it is more reassuring to do it yourself.

"Mother, do we have shallots and ginger at home?" While washing, Hongxue didn't forget to ask Mrs. Zhou.

"No, even the oil and salt were given by your grandson. Where did we get those things!" Mrs. Zhou smiled wryly. Now the family doesn't care what they want, and I'm really worried about how to live in the future!
"Second sister, go to Grandma Fang's house to borrow some scallion and ginger, and see if my sister will show you something tonight." Hongshuang looked at Mrs. Zhou, and seeing that she had no objection, she happily agreed, and ran to Fang's house .

Grandma Fang also lives in the west end of the village, because her son and daughter-in-law have no children, and she likes the children in the village very much.

After Hongxue washed the mushrooms, she smashed the chicken into small pieces. Because the pot was too small, she had to boil it in batches to remove the blood and impurities. Then she took it out and put it aside, then added water to the pot. Add mushrooms and boil, which can not only kill the virus, but also remove the residue that has not been washed.

After taking them out, she cut up the borrowed shallots and ginger. After the pot was heated up, she scooped a small spoonful of oil into it, threw the shallots and ginger into the pot, and after the fragrance was released, she put half of the chicken into it and fried it. , then add water and mushrooms, then put salt, stir a few times, and then cover and simmer.

Fortunately, there were two pots at home. Taking advantage of the time, Hongxue packed up the small pot next to it, and made a big pot full of them, letting them stew by themselves. The third sister Hongyu watched the fire, and the others The children help Zhou's wild vegetables together.

Soon, the fragrance wafted from the pot, which also aroused the gluttons in everyone's stomachs.

"Sister, can I eat it?" Hong Xiang asked, swallowing her saliva.Although the other children didn't ask, they couldn't hide the anticipation in their eyes, and even Zhou's eyes showed surprise: When will Xue girl be able to make such delicious dishes.

"Let me see!" Hongxue stood up, came to the stove, opened the lid, and a burst of hot air mixed with the fragrance of mushrooms and chicken meat filled the whole room.

"It smells so good!" At some point, all the children gathered around the stove, inhaling deeply, their faces full of greed.

Hongxue looked at the crowd with a funny look, her eyes were even more sour, "Don't worry, in the future, my sister will let you eat this kind of meaty dishes frequently, and you will never be hungry again!" Hongxue promised.

"Big sister is the best." The children cheered immediately, even though they didn't believe it in their hearts, they were really happy for a while.

Hongxue tried the chicken with chopsticks, and found that it was completely cooked, so she took out two big bowls, then filled each of them with a piece of chicken and a few mushrooms, and said with a smile, "You guys eat first, and I'll give Aunt Sun and the others a piece of meat." bowl over."

"It should be, girl Xue, mother go and deliver it, you take your younger brothers and sisters to eat first." Seeing that Hongxue hadn't forgotten about Sun's family, Mrs. Zhou nodded in relief, took the basket and was about to go out.

"Mother, you should eat first." Hongxue was very afraid that Mrs. Zhou would tell the Sun family about the origin of this chicken, and it would be bad if Juqing missed the point.

So he still took over the job, and seeing that Mrs. Zhou still opened his mouth, he immediately said: "Didn't you just say that I took advantage of the Chen family? I will also send them a bowl later, and mother will have to run there herself." trip."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou didn't argue with Hongxue any more, and planned to finish eating early and send it to someone else.

Hongxue came back in a while, and the Zhou family actually only ate a piece of corn tortilla and drank some chicken soup before putting down the bowl. When Hongxue came back, he took the prepared chicken and went to Sun's house.

In fact, Hongxue's family is very close to Chen Pengfei's now. I heard that he is old man Chen's distant nephew. At that time, Father Chen was already terminally ill, and he left within a few days. Now he lives there alone, with no fields and no land, and can only make a living by hunting. He is also a poor man.
