Chapter 379 Making Spicy Chicken
Chapter 379 Making Spicy Chicken
The two pheasants were fat. They looked at the four chicken claws, then turned to look at the big dog squatting in front of them with its tongue sticking out.
After thinking for a while, I chopped off my claws and threw them to them to eat.
They are the main contributors to catching these two pheasants.
"Hey! Wen He, where did you get such a big pheasant? Your uncle Danian sent it to me."
Turning his head, Wang Erfeng came over with a basin of clothes: "Yes, Uncle Da Nian sent it. Today is Wenshan and his friends' birthday, so he asked Uncle Da Nian to come over for dinner."
"Where's Rongshan? Rongshan isn't coming back?"
"He can't come back. His employer won't let him leave. If he leaves, he won't be paid. So all his work before that would be in vain."
"Then he won't be back until the end of the year."
Ji Wenhe nodded: "He said he would be back at the end of the year, but he didn't say when exactly. Aunt Wang, I ran into Qingdai the other day, and he said Shen Liao would be back in a few days."
"Yes, I asked someone from Zhaojia Village to go to the town and tell him to come back before the end of the month and talk to Lin Yue Niang. I want to get married before the New Year and let Qingdai see him in the spring of next year."
Wang Erfeng carried the wooden basin to the upstream and sat down, scooped water into the basin, and continued speaking.
"I'll go to your house later to weigh a few pounds of black noodles. Have you sold out the fine noodles?"
"It's not sold out yet. We have both coarse flour and corn flour. We just got them in at the end of the month."
Black noodles are the best seller.
"Okay, then I'll go to your house and buy half a pound later, and then buy a pound at the end of the year and mix it with black flour steamed buns and dumplings."
Looking towards the entrance of the village: "I met your Aunt Qin yesterday. She told me that Shen Cong and Shen Lin would not be back at the end of the year, so they were going to be taken to town. The couple were not happy and wanted them to come back for the New Year."
"I heard that Li was furious at home and cursed the two of them for being heartless. He said that he had a good life in town and didn't want to go back to the place where he was born and raised."
"I'm wondering whether Aunt Qin is going to town or not."
Wang Erfeng shook her head: "I don't know. I think if the two sons don't come back, Li Tianba will come to pick them up. I guess Li Zheng will go. They won't get angry with Li Tianba."
Ji Wenhe understood that Shen Zhong would not break up with Li Tianba. After all, he had to rely on him. Even if he was unhappy and reluctant in his heart, he would not show it on his face. He just didn't know whether he would go to Shen Cong's house or Shen Lin's house during the New Year.
He stood up with the basin in his hand: "Aunt Wang, I'm going back first."
"Okay, go back."
When I got home, Shen Wenshan had already cut the meat and was cutting the mutton.
"Wenshan, chop these two chickens up, stir-fry one with spicy chicken, and stew the other. Ask Uncle Da Nian to bring some chicken soup back in the evening."
"Sister-in-law, what should I put in to burn?"
"It's up to you. Put whatever you want in it. I'll make a pumpkin pie. Do you have the cabbage?"
Shen Yuanshan replied: "Not yet, I'll go get the dough."
"Okay, I'll wash the pot."
He washed the iron pot and put it on the stove, then went to the woodshed and got out some firewood.
The smoke outlet faces outwards and a small table is placed inside where the prepared dishes will be served later.
Lamb, chicken, shrimp, pork, spare ribs, two pig's trotters, and pig ears are mixed together. Eat less vegetables and more meat.
Start stir-frying spicy chicken.
Take out the dried chili peppers, cut them into sections, pour in the hot oil, and add some chili sauce and stir-fry in the pan.
The pungent spicy smell immediately spread in the kitchen.
Shen Yuanshan was choked and couldn't help but run to the yard and sneezed: "Sister-in-law, did you put too much chili?"
She squinted her eyes and said, "No, I didn't put much in it. It's just that the dried chilies are too spicy."
And she added some hot sauce in it, the smell must have been pungent.
Pour the chicken pieces in and stir-fry.
"Yuanshan, go to the house and get four eggs."
He asked, "What should eggs be cooked with?"
"Fry four poached eggs later."
One per person.
Pig's trotters and spareribs were stewed in a big pot.
Ji Wenhe lifted the lid of the pot, poked it with a chopstick, and took it out when it was cooked.
The pig's trotter soup is poured into a jar and can be kept for two or three days now that the weather is cold.
Then make the chicken soup.
Shen Wenshan was making a fire behind the stove, and the pungent spicy smell made him want to run out.
Ji Wenhe suddenly remembered and said to Shen Yuanshan, "I just met Aunt Wang by the river. She said she wanted to buy some black noodles. Go to the door and take a look. And bring a cabbage along the way."
"I know, sister-in-law."
Zhu Danian likes to eat pickled cabbage. He breaks off the large leaves on the outside and stir-fries them, then eats the inside of the cabbage in hot pot.
Amelia Su stood in the yard and looked to the west: "Mom, what is my sister-in-law cooking today? The spicy smell is so pungent that we can smell it in our house."
Lan Qiuhua replied from inside the house: "Today is Wenshan and Yuanshan's birthday, let's cook."
"I don't think Brother Rongshan has come back."
"I don't think you can come back. Please come in. It smells really bad outside."
Amelia Su turned and went into the house: "Mom, you said that Yuanshan and Wenshan's marriage is settled, how much betrothal gifts can their family give."
She shook her head. "Who knows? I don't think it will be less than 660 grams. Their family has money. They sell goods, raise pigs, and raise so many chickens. Besides, there is Zhu Danian. If they really have no money, he will definitely help them."
"Uncle Da Nian lives alone, so he must have saved a lot of money."
"Not necessarily. When Zhu Danian wants to eat meat, he goes to the mountains to hunt, and occasionally goes to the town to sell it. If he keeps too much money, it will be easy for people to covet him. I think he doesn't have much money."
"Do you know where Uncle Da Nian is from? I only heard from the villagers that he fled here to escape famine, and later settled in Zhaojia Village. It seems that he didn't marry a wife, and he doesn't have any children."
"He can hunt and sell his prey in town. How could he not be able to find a wife?"
Lan Qiuhua put down the necklace in her hand and pinched the back of her neck: "I don't know. Many people have a past. They don't want to talk about the past, and we can't ask about it."
"That's right." Amelia Su looked outside the door.
Zhu Danian chatted with Shen Zhong for a while at the entrance of the village, then stood up to say goodbye and walked slowly towards the village.
I could smell the chili pepper from a long distance away, and the closer I got, the stronger the smell became.
He stood at the door and asked, "Wenshan, what are you burning?"
"Uncle Da Nian, you are here. My sister-in-law is frying spicy chicken."
After saying that, he sneezed.
Ji Wenhe heard the voice and poked his head out of the kitchen: "Uncle Da Nian, the spicy chicken will be ready soon. If you find the smell pungent, why don't you walk around the village again? I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
Zhu Danian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look at your wasteland."
"Well, go ahead."
He walked around the pigpen and then looked into the wheat field.
I know everyone in Shenjia Village because I come here often.
Seeing Shen Shuzhuan coming out with a stick, he stepped forward and said, "You're finally willing to come out for a walk. Things are getting better and better at home now. Don't be angry with the child anymore."
"I was a little resentful at first, but later I figured it out. It's just that I have a lame leg and can't go to the town to work. The burden of the family is on Shen Liang."
