Chapter 21: Accidentally Eating Too Much
Du Yuhan thought that it would be good if he could catch the female pheasant intact in the future and raise it to lay eggs.
As long as the tail and feathers on the wings of the pheasant are cut off, it will not be able to fly. At that time, she and Liu Gang built a chicken coop in a corner of the yard, and then raised chickens in a small pen.
Even if there is no pheasant, Du Yuhan is ready to buy a few chickens to raise in the next few days.
Now that spring has begun, the weather will get warmer and warmer, everything will recover, and it is just right to raise chickens.
Besides, it is convenient for home-raised chickens to lay eggs and eat. Han Yixian should maintain nutrition every day, and eggs are indispensable. The little eggs that the state supplies every month are simply not enough.
Du Yuhan felt that if he caught a few female pheasants, he could lay eggs quickly, so that he could make up for the gap before the chicks he bought grew up and laid eggs.
She decided to catch as many pheasants as possible these days.
It's best if you can buy the kind of hen that is laying eggs. However, such opportunities are hard to come by. Who would sell a hen that is laying eggs at home?
By the time Liu Gang cleaned up a rabbit, Du Yuhan's side had already been completed.
Du Yuhan boiled a pot of hot water and washed his head and face in the West House, otherwise it was really uncomfortable to drill into the woods and his face was covered with ash, and he changed the old clothes that were already full of dust.
She decided that she would have to go into the space to take a shower in the evening. After having a room by myself, it is much more convenient to enter the space.
She also asked Liu Gang to wash his head and face.
Du Yuhan knew that Han Yi had a slight cleanliness habit, and she didn't want him to hate him.
After Liu Gang cleaned up the rabbits, Han Yixian taught Liu Gang how to tann rabbit skins.
Just like Liu Gang said, these rabbit skins can be made into rabbit skin jackets, rabbit skin hats, cotton shoes, rabbit skin mattresses and so on.
In the era of lack of fabric, many things can be made instead of cloth, and cotton is also saved.
Although there is only one rabbit skin, it adds up to a lot, and today it should be practiced for Liu Gang.
Han Yi first saw that the rabbit that Liu Gang packed up was quite big, but he didn't expect that Du Yuhan, a little girl, could shoot arrows, which was really unseemly.
Before it was time to cook dinner, Du Yuhan trimmed the feathers plucked from the pheasants, and then fixed them at the tail of the arrow as arrow feathers. The colorful pheasant feathers are quite beautiful.
Han Yixian looked at Du Yuhan's skillful technique in the courtyard and knew that this little girl was a skilled hand, and she must have been very skilled in making bows and arrows before.
Han Yixian was very curious about how Du Yuhan, a little girl like this, learned these skills.
According to the aunt's investigation, Du Yuhan was very angry at home, and was bullied by other rooms of the Du family, and his personality was a little cowardly. I really can't see that she can have such skills.
But he thought that this little girl's behavior of breaking the kettle in order to let her adoptive parents' family separate herself also showed that Du Yuhan was not a cowardly person.
He and Du Yuhan haven't gotten along much, and they don't know what kind of person she is, but from the previous situation, Du Yuhan's personality before and after is a little contradictory.
However, he didn't understand the situation at that time and it was difficult to make a judgment, but he was a little curious about Du Yuhan.
For dinner, Du Yuhan prepared to stew the female pheasant that weighed only four or five catties, cut the pheasant into pieces, blanched it with boiling water, and then put some oil in the pot to fry the sugar, poured the blanched chicken pieces into the pot and fried it, put water and various seasonings and began to stew.
The only seasonings are simple green onion ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and soy sauce, and nothing else. Luo Qingyan knew that there was definitely no wine at home, and the next time he went to the grocery store, he would have to buy a bottle of cheap wine for cooking.
When the meat was almost cooked, Du Yuhan added some potato pieces to the pot and stewed together.
When Liu Gang was burning the fire, he was so greedy by the fragrance in the pot that he kept swallowing, and he was looking forward to the meat coming out of the pot as soon as possible. He hadn't eaten meat in a long time. Even if there is meat, he will not make it.
Du Yuhan was going to eat rice today, she boiled the rice and took it out and put it in a basin to steam, so that there was no pot and no food was wasted. Rice soup can also be drunk as porridge.
Du Yuhan made another sour and hot cabbage, now it is not so particular, there is a real meat dish plus a cabbage is already a very good meal.
Now the days are getting longer, but Du Yuhan still cooks early and tries to cook before dark, so that there is no need to light the lamp in the kitchen to cook and save electricity.
The rich aroma of meat permeated the sky above the small courtyard, fortunately, this small courtyard was far away from other houses, and others could not easily smell the fragrance, otherwise Du Yuhan would not dare to stew meat so blatantly.
With the deliciousness of lunch as the foundation, Han Yi first smelled the aroma of meat and believed that the taste of this meal could not be wrong.
I didn't expect Du Yuhan, a little girl, to let them improve their lives as soon as she came, which was really a surprise.
When the golden chicken and potato stew is served on the table, the living room is filled with the aroma of stewed chicken, and the smell of it makes people swallow.
After the meal was served, everyone sat down, and Du Yuhan sandwiched the two chicken legs and the egg yolk in the chicken belly into Han Yixian's bowl with chopsticks.
The chicken Du Yuhan deliberately stewed very badly, so that it is easier to digest.
Han Yi first looked at the two big chicken legs in the bowl and put one in Du Yuhan's bowl and said, "Today you are a great hero, because of you and we only ate chicken, and we should reward you with a chicken leg." ”
Du Yuhan didn't expect Han Yixian to take the initiative to pick up vegetables for her, she was really flattered, and she didn't shirk it, and said generously: "Thank you, Brother Han." ”
Han Yi nodded first, "Eat." As he spoke, he began to eat by himself.
The rice and potato stew with pheasant are nothing to say. Even in the later generations when the conditions are good, it is a good meal.
Now with such good materials, coupled with Du Yuhan's good cooking skills, this meal can be described as a luxury level in this era.
Han Yi first expected that this dish would be very popular, but after eating it, he felt that it was not an exaggeration for his aunt to say that Du Yuhan's cooking skills were good. The pheasant stew is rotten and flavorful.
This pheasant is worthy of a wild thing that grows in the mountains, and the taste is really delicious.
Han Yixian unconsciously sped up the speed of eating.
Liu Gang didn't look up, it was the first time he had eaten such a delicious meal.
At home, he rarely eats meat, and when he arrives in the army, he has a big pot of rice, and there is no such delicious meal. Du Yuhan came to them and enjoyed it, and he improved their lives on the first day. It's really good for Director Han to find Du Yuhan.
At dinner, the three of them ate with their mouths full of oil, and Han Yixian didn't control his appetite, so he ate too much unconsciously.
Liu Gang saw the amount of food in the head of the regiment and said happily: "Commander, Du Yuhan's cooking is so delicious, you can finally eat more." ”
Han Yixian was also secretly annoyed that he couldn't help but eat enough. It's really that Du Yuhan's food is so delicious, he accidentally eats too much, and he must pay attention next time.
Du Yuhan looked at Han Yixian, who was a little annoyed, and smiled secretly, Hmph, the food I cook will be more and more delicious in the future, see if you can bear it.
In the future, she will also make some soup and water for Han Yi to replenish his body first, and she will definitely make up for Han Yi's emaciated body first.
