Chapter 3 Delicious Mushroom Soup
"Brother, you're back. Yun Niang misses you so much. Seeing her brother returning, like a milk swallow throwing herself into her arms, Yun Niang plunged into her brother's arms, and the weak Lu Zhe was even hit by the villain in his arms
"Little lady Yun, let your brother rest first, your brother may be out of strength." Uncle Tie San held Lu Zhe, who was a little stumbling, with one hand, and carried the large package of grouse and Lu Zhe with the other.
Seeing this, Yun Niang quickly let go of her brother.
"Yun Niang, is there still water?" Lu Zhe said weakly.
"Also, I'll get it." Yun Niang ran out with a bang, and soon came in with a clay pot, "Brother, the water in the clay pot has been drunk by Yun Niang, and there is not much left" The little girl looked embarrassed, "Next time Yun Niang drink less, keep it for my brother." ”
"No, no, Yun Niang can drink if you want. Later, I'll go out and bring water. Lu Zhe took the crockpot, tilted his neck, and drank the water of the remaining small half-crockpot.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Tiesan, Zhe is out of shape, Zhe is too tired." After drinking the water, Lu Zhe sat on the ground regardless of his image, and it took a long time for him to remember that there were still people in the hall.
"Fine." Tie San's face was full of waves, "Zhewazi, after losing your strength, it's best not to sit like this, for a long time, it will damage your muscles and bones." After saying this, Tie Sanyi pulled Lu Zhe up and slapped him on the shoulder, back, chest, abdomen and limbs with his hands.
It's strange to say, Lu Zhe, who was originally sore and soft, only felt swelling and pain all over his body after being photographed by the big man in front of him, but his body was sore.
"Thank you, Uncle Tiesan." Lu Zhe shook his hands and feet, and found that his somewhat cold hands and feet slowly felt warm, and hurriedly gave Tie San a salute. "The third uncle's methods are really unpredictable."
"It's just a family heirloom method of invigorating blood, Zhewazi, you have won the award." Triathlon is still like gold. Then, he took off a grouse tied around his waist and handed it to Lu Zhe.
"Zhewazi, this is for you, make up for your body."
"How can this be made, this is your hunt Uncle Tie San." Lu Zhe hurriedly excused himself.
"Let you take it, you will take it, your parents have unfortunately passed away, you have just fallen into the water, you are both a person in the mountain gate, you should watch and help, but a small pine pheasant, you take it, besides, I have hunted a lot today, I am the only one in the family, it is a pity that I can't finish eating." Tie San couldn't say anything, and stuffed the bloody grouse into Lu Zhe's arms.
"Okay, the elder gives, don't dare to resign, thank you Third Uncle Tie, when Zhe has the ability in the future, I will repay the third uncle for giving the pheasant today." Although Lu Zhe wanted to refuse, the current physical state of himself and his sister could not allow him to refuse. So he took the grouse, and at the same time secretly swore in his heart that he would repay his taciturn third uncle in the future.
"I don't want you to reciprocate, I just ask you to live well, take care of your young sister, and pass on your own knowledge. Now that there are pine pheasants, no one has eaten those mushrooms you picked up since ancient times, so it is better not to eat them, and a certain one will leave first. After Tetsu Triathlon finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"The third uncle waits, first strictly admonish the boy, come and don't be rude, today the third uncle gave the pheasant's grace, the kid has nothing to repay, the kid has no other strengths, only the cook's skills are acceptable, the third uncle might as well stay for dinner." Lu Zhe grabbed Tie San, and there was a determined look in his eyes.
"Good!" Tie San is also a sincere man, looking at Lu Zhe's firm gaze, he happily agreed.
"Great, the third uncle will sit down for a while." Seeing that the other party agreed, Lu Zhe was overjoyed, and walked out of the door with a grouse.
Pouring the wrapped pine mushrooms into his backyard and piling them up, Lu Zhe put on his coat, beckoned his sister, grabbed a large handful of pine mushrooms, and took out the ginger and wild fennel he picked, and gave Yun Niang a cleaning task. Seeing the little girl happily running to the backyard with her brother's task, Lu Zhe walked to his stove and began to boil water.
I have to say that the people in the mountain gate still have something, and there is tap water, Lu Zhe sighed while boiling the water, and the spring water on the mountain was led to the backyard of each house by them with a bamboo tube, so as to save the people in the village from the hard work of fetching water.
After the water boiled, Lu Zhe began to hurriedly scald the chicken and pluck the feathers, which used to be done by vegetable vendors, Lu Zhe did extremely unsmooth, but he still carefully plucked the small hair roots on the grouse, and piled the feathers in the backyard, Lu Zhe thought that he would cook the feathers and dry them tomorrow, and slowly accumulate them, maybe he could get a feather quilt for his sister.
While thinking, Lu Zhe used his own knife to disembowel the grouse. It's a pity that this grouse has been dead for a long time, and the chicken blood has almost flowed, which makes Lu Zhe, who wants to eat chicken blood, disappointed for a while.
Then, he found a clean wooden board and chopped the chicken into small pieces, although it was the grouse in autumn, but there was not much oil, Lu Zhe not only missed the hens full of fat in the later life.
"This is an authentic pollution-free grouse." Cut the washed wild ginger into slices, Lu Zhe poured the chicken pieces into the clay pot, stirred it with a wooden spoon, and the aroma of meat came to his nose. Lu Zhe took a sip greedily, looking extremely satisfied.
Because he was afraid that the crockpot would not be burned, Lu Zhe did not dare to stir it up like later generations, so he stirred it slightly, and poured water into it, and then, Lu Zhe removed the root of the pine mushroom, and then tore off the black film on its surface.
After tearing it off, he tore it into small pieces, put it in a crockpot, and then covered it with a wooden plank for chopping vegetables.
As the chicken soup in the crockpot slowly boiled, Lu Zhe pulled out some of the firewood under the stove according to the method in his memory, and slowly simmered it over medium heat.
"It smells so good!" As the chicken soup slowly simmered, the fragrance of pine mushrooms mixed with the aroma of grouse's meat fat spread, and Yun Niang, who had been guarding the side, couldn't help it for a long time, and sniffed hard.
The seductive fragrance wafted out, making Lu Zhe suddenly feel that his stomach had begun to rebel. After reciting it silently dozens of times, the chicken was still not cooked, and Lu Zhe swallowed his saliva hard.
"Brother, what did you cook, it's so fragrant." Yun Niang's eyes stared directly at the crockpot, and she kept swallowing her saliva.
"It's Yun Niang, the mushroom you washed, Yun Niang, you have helped a lot today." Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Zhe lifted the lid, and a strong fragrance erupted.
"Well, Yun Niang will help my brother in the future." The little girl nodded solemnly, extremely cute. Immediately afterwards, looking at the crockpot on the stove, Yun Niang let out another exclamation.
Inside the steaming clay pot, the brown soup was boiling slightly, and the fat pine mushrooms and tender chicken were tumbling inside, and there were not many oil flowers floating on it, and the brothers and sisters' eyes were almost straight.
"Yun Niang, are you doing my brother a favor, try whether the pheasant meat is cooked or not." Picking up a piece of chicken with chopsticks, Lu Zhe tore a trace of it, put it in his mouth, and gave the rest to Yun Niang, who was already watching from the sidelines.
"Well, Yun Niang will help my brother taste it." The little man turned out to be the chicken handed over by his brother, and he didn't care about it, so he sent it directly to his mouth with his hands.
"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, brother, the pheasant meat is already cooked." The little girl couldn't wait to eat the chicken, and while calling it delicious, she didn't forget to answer her brother, and the smile on her little face made Lu Zhe feel a lot more comfortable.
The fragrance outside the house obviously moved Tie San a little, and he walked out of the hall and looked at the brother and sister who were stealing food,
"Zhewazi, how can this mushroom be so fragrant and really eaten?" The fragrance of pine mushroom stewed grouse obviously made him a little unbearable as an adult, looking at the brown pine mushroom inside, he couldn't help but have some questions.
"Of course you can eat it, this is the record of my Hundred Flowers Sect." Seeing that the other party still didn't believe in himself, Lu Zhe had no choice but to move out of his own sect. "If you don't believe it, Zhe will show it to his uncle." Lu Zhe picked up a piece of pine mushroom and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm......" There is no pollution in this era, and there is no picking, so the pine mushrooms are extremely fat, and with a light bite, the pine mushrooms soaked in chicken soup have an incomparable umami gushing out of the fat flesh, which blooms on the tip of Lu Zhe's tongue.
"Delicious" Lu Zhe couldn't help but be a little intoxicated.
"If that's the case, then let's eat." Tie San nodded, seeing that the other party actually believed it, Lu Zhe was also a little surprised, originally he also prepared other words, but he didn't expect that when it came to the secret inheritance of his own sect, the other party had no doubt that Lu Zhe once again had an intuitive understanding of the simplicity of the ancients.
The chicken soup has been stewed, Lu Zhe took out the salt cube at home, resisted the urge to throw away the black salt cube in his hand, carefully broke off a small piece, and threw it into the chicken soup, he decided that the first thing he would do tomorrow was to play his old job and purify this salt a little, so as not to cause any strange illness from heavy metal eating for himself and his sister in the future.
After putting in the salt, Lu Zhe tasted it, it was a little light, but the freshness was also a notch, he nodded, and picked up the crockpot.
"Meat, eat meat, mushrooms." The little girl was the closest, Yun Niang, who was licking the bones given by her brother with relish, saw that Lu Zhe had already picked up the crockpot and found that she could already eat, which made her, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, a little sluggish under the stimulation of eating meat, and couldn't help muttering to herself.
"Brother took Yun Niang to wash his hands first, and he could only eat after washing his hands." Lu Zhe, who was holding the crockpot, resisted the desire to eat, put the crockpot on the low table in the hall, and took his sister to wash his hands.
After washing his hands, Lu Zhe took out three pairs of chopsticks, first filled a bowl for Tie San, and then filled a full bowl for himself and his sister, waved his hand and said, "Eat!" ”
Lu Zhe's eating was like turning on a switch, and the three of them, who couldn't help it for a long time, picked up the chopsticks and buried themselves in eating.
"It's beautiful." A piece of tender chicken went down to his stomach, and after taking a sip of the fragrant chicken soup, Lu Zhe couldn't help but sigh. The pure natural mountain goods and grouse made Lu Zhe, who had been hungry for a long time, feel that there is nothing more delicious in the world than this.
Look at Tie San and his sister Yun Niang next to him, the two of them can't wait to swallow their tongues, in the cold autumn night, a bowl of hot chicken soup in the broken thatched hut was actually eaten by Lu Zhe with a warm and happy taste,
The grouse is not big, Lu Zhe took into account Tiesan's amount of rice and his own state, and put almost half a pot of pine mushrooms, and when the chicken was eaten, everyone was a little unsatisfied.
At this time, Lu Zhe filled up the water again, boiled the remaining pine mushrooms again, and after boiling, he added the wild fennel chopped before, and suddenly a strange fragrance diffused in the air again, and after it was served, the eyes of the two people in the room lit up again.
It wasn't until the three of them had eaten all the mushrooms and soup that they stopped their chopsticks contentedly.
Lu Zhe watched his sister's little belly bulge a little, and couldn't help but stare at the crockpot on the table, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and at the same time a little sad.
"This mushroom is very delicious." Rao is a triathlon and also expressed his heartfelt admiration. "I have eaten many pine pheasants, and I don't have the delicious food I eat today. Tomorrow, I will also pick some mushrooms and cook them with pine pheasants. ”
"Uncle learned that some of the mushrooms in the mountains are highly poisonous, and they need to be carefully identified, and the sages of my Hundred Flowers Sect have also gone through many attempts to find the edible mushrooms in the mountains, and the mushrooms eaten today grow under the pine tree, called pine mushrooms, and eat them for a long time, which is beneficial to people and can prolong life. Cooked with meat, it tastes similar to meat and is very delicious. ”
"Is that true?" Tie San has no doubts about the second half of the sentence, and for the first half of the sentence, he obviously doesn't believe it.
"The kid would never dare to deceive the third uncle. In ancient times, the god man ....... red pine nuts" Then, Lu Zhe told his third uncle Tie San about the benefits of eating mushrooms in later generations, and in order to make him believe, he also gave the example of ancient red pine nuts.
“…… In short, eating more mushrooms can prevent symptoms such as waist and leg pain, numbness of hands and feet, uncomfortable tendons, phlegm and shortness of breath, and dry stool, which is extremely beneficial to the human body. In addition, after the mushroom is dried, it can be stored for several years and has a more beautiful taste. Lu Zhe, who had opened the chatterbox, talked endlessly, and unconsciously the Tie San on the other side heard that it could be stored for several years, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Tetsuwazi, what you said is true." Tie San suddenly stood up and looked at Lu Zhe with burning eyes.
"Zhe swears by the sages of the Hundred Flowers Sect!" After Lu Zhe finished speaking, he thought silently in his heart, the ancestors of the Hundred Flowers Sect forgive me, but the disciple Lu Zhe, in order to make the Tie San in front of him believe that the pine mushroom can be eaten, this pot, I have already made it, let you carry it.
"Boy, you wait!" After saying that, Tie walked out of the house in three strides.
