Chapter 24: Eating Chicken
A large pot of water was added to the pot, and the pheasant was chopped into small pieces, without oil, a little salt was added, and it was boiled like this, and Zhang Yuxiu added firewood in front of the stove.
Su Jinse found that the salt here was the kind of coarse salt, a large piece of the kind, this kind of salt has not been deeply processed, it is not refined, and it is very coarse.
The salt here cannot be compared with the later generations.
However, even coarse salt is very precious to the farmers here, and every time they cook, they put less salt in it, and they are not willing to put more salt at all.
Even if she knew how to refine salt, she couldn't use it, because she was so poor that it was difficult to even live, let alone buy salt.
After about half an hour, a rich aroma of chicken soup wafted out of the pot.
Zhang Zhiqiang and Zhang Zhiwen The two brothers were busy, squatting in the kitchen, smelling the smell of chicken soup, saliva flowing, and Su Jinse was also a little hungry, mainly because he was hungry.
The porridge you drink in the morning is digested quickly.
There are two iron pots at home, and in the other iron pot, Zhang Yuxiu cooked wheat rice.
Wheat rice is made of wheat, and it is wheat that does not shed its husks, it is steamed directly, grain by grain, the taste is not good, and it is not easy to digest.
Can wheat that hasn't even shed its husk taste good?
Only the poor eat wheat rice, because wheat rice is cheap, and rice is a precious thing, and the poor people simply cannot afford it, and they are not willing to buy it.
One bucket of rice can buy three buckets of wheat.
No wonder Li Hongxiang asked Li Hongxiang to make cakes with flour last night, which made Zhang Yuxiu's three sisters and brothers excited like that, and they also made dough soup in the morning, which is estimated to be a good thing to eat once in this family.
Su Jinse put the washed mushrooms into the pot, and after boiling for another half an hour, the fragrance became stronger, with a layer of golden oil floating on it, and the aroma brought by the mushrooms, which was appetizing.
"Sister, are you alright? Is it ready to eat? "Zhang Zhiwen is too hungry.
Zhang Yuxiu scolded him with a smile, took a bowl and scooped a little soup and handed it to Zhang Zhiwen, "Give you a solution to your hunger." ”
Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but didn't drink it, but brought it to Su Jinse, "Sister, you taste it." ”
"Thank you, third brother, I'm not hungry now, you can drink." Su Jinse said with a smile.
"Third brother, you really love Lingbao'er, don't worry, everyone has it." Zhang Yuxiu smiled, took three more bowls out, and everyone served a little.
The four of them held the bowl and drank the soup, because of the mushrooms added to it, so this chicken soup was particularly delicious, and the mushrooms had the effect of improving the freshness, so delicious that even the tongue had to swallow it.
Zhang Zhiwen smacked his mouth, with a happy sense of intoxication, "I've drunk chicken soup before, but I didn't think it was so delicious!" ”
"yes, yes, this chicken soup is so delicious!" Zhang Zhiqiang drank it all in three or two clicks, looked at the chicken in the pot, and swallowed his saliva vigorously.
"Wait a little longer, the pheasant meat is more difficult to cook, and we can eat later." Zhang Yuxiu said with a smile.
"Sister, I'll cook another dish, otherwise just eat chicken and drink chicken soup, it should be finished in three or two, Daddy and Mom have to wait until the evening to come back, we have to leave a little for Daddy." Su Jinse held the bowl and said seriously.
Zhang Yuxiu smiled when she heard this, and looked at Su Jinse with gentleness and relief in her eyes, "My sister is right, she should make a dish." We've got to keep more for my parents. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, we can't just eat chicken, but our parents also have to eat chicken!" Zhang Zhiwen nodded in agreement.
