Chapter 17: Fried Chicken Rewards
When Xu Minghao heard this, his face turned red, he didn't expect that the scene just now was discovered by Lin Shuran, he was ashamed and anxious, and closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"Miss, what reward did we get for winning today?" Erzhu wiped the sweat from his face, what he was looking forward to most was Lin Shuran's reward.
"What reward do you want?" In the past three years, she has become familiar with the children of Dazhu Erzhu for a long time, and they all like and respect her.
"Can I eat fried chicken again?" Erzhu said that the corners of his mouth were about to flow out of the birth juice, and during the Chinese New Year before, Lin Shuran personally made fried chicken for these children to eat, and he will never forget that taste for the rest of his life.
"Okay, I'll reward you for eating fried chicken!" As soon as Lin Shuran finished speaking, the children of the Grange team cheered and jumped up happily, but the brothers of the Xu family were confused, what fried chicken? They hadn't heard of it.
"As for the punishment of losing, the rice in the field should be harvested in the next few days, so you should follow to harvest the rice, at least three acres of land!" The young masters of the Xu family had never done farm work before, and Lin Shuran didn't particularly embarrass them, with the long-term workers in the Zhuangzi following, they were familiar with the farmland first.
"Let's go harvest rice? Isn't that the work of a subordinate? Xu Minghan, the third child of the Xu family, looked reluctant.
"I'm willing to gamble and lose, what's the matter, I can't afford to lose?" Lin Shuran's voice deliberately slowed down, as if he was suspicious.
Xu Minghan turned his body a little awkwardly, and dropped a sentence: "Whoever can't afford to lose, just go!" ”
Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan pouted, they didn't harvest any rice, but they caused trouble, Lin Shuran couldn't blame them.
"Miss, do you really want to let a few young masters go to the field to harvest rice?" This time, even Chunxi felt that something was wrong, how could it be said that the young master of the Xu family is also a noble son, and letting outsiders know about it will definitely be detrimental to the reputation of her young lady.
"Of course, if you are willing to gamble and lose, what others can do, they can naturally do!" Lin Shuran didn't plan to get used to the Xu family brothers, who said that the young master of your son couldn't work in the field.
Mama Zhang also gave some hints when she saw Lin Shuran, but no one could change Lin Shuran's decision, she happily went into the back kitchen to make fried chicken for Dazhu and them.
Lin Shuran asked the kitchen lady to clean up a few domestic chickens, in the past three years, her Grange has achieved the freedom to eat chickens, every year the Grange will be according to her method to successfully hatch a lot of chickens with eggs, and then these chickens are stocked in the fruit grove, so that the chickens raised are fat and big, and lay more eggs.
The kitchen lady in the back kitchen of the Grange slaughters and cleans the live chickens, controls the moisture and sets them aside, and then pickles the whole chicken, Lin Shuran uses ginger, peppercorns, salt, wine, sugar and other seasonings to make a special sauce, and evenly spreads these sauces on the surface and inside of each chicken, and the marinating time is about two quarters of an hour.
The next step is to prepare fried chicken powder, because of the limitation of ingredients, Lin Shuran mixed flour and sweet potato starch, some salt, pepper powder, etc. together and stirred it evenly, and then evenly coated each chicken with powder.
The last step is to pour oil into the pan and start frying, this step needs to control the heat and oil temperature to keep the chicken crispy.
The fragrance wafting out of the back kitchen had already caused Dazhu to salivate, and even Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng, who had been following Lin Shuran, were also staring at Lin Shuran's busy figure in the kitchen.
Soon, Lin Shuran made fried chicken, this time she was very generous, let people slaughter ten chickens, Fifth Uncle, Mr. Bai and Fan Xiucai She asked people to send one each, Dazhu These winning children were divided into five chickens, and the remaining two were given to the three nurses one, and she left one to eat for herself.
"Come, old nine, old ten, one person will give you a chicken leg!" Lin Shuran entered the house with fried chicken, and the two little tails Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng had been following behind her buttocks, and she had already heard the sound of swallowing saliva, so she put down the plate and tore off two chicken legs and gave them one to each of them.
"Thank you, Mother!" The two little guys are no longer pretending to be reserved, they can hold on to what they want to eat until now, it is really the limit of two people, one bite down, crispy and crispy, and a special aroma stimulates the taste buds, "Mother, this is so delicious!" ”
Xu Mingsheng's eyes were full of shining stars, and the smile on his face was obvious, and Xu Mingsong was reluctant to speak, just nodding his head and chewing into it.
"Chunxi, give you chicken wings!" Lin Shuran tore off a chicken wing and gave it to Chunxi who was standing aside, Chunxi hurriedly smiled and reached out to take it, "Thank you, madam!" ”
I'm afraid that no one outside knows that her young lady is very good at cooking, in the past three years, Lin Shuran has not really cooked much, but every time the food she makes is mouth-watering and unforgettable.
"Mother, this fried chicken is so delicious, do you really not let my brothers taste it?" Even if the food is current, Xu Mingsheng, who is only three years old, has not forgotten his brothers.
"Next time they win the game, I'll do it if they want to eat it!" Lin Shuran replied with a smile.
"And next time?" Xu Mingsong, who had already gnawed the chicken leg clean, asked with a glint in his eyes.
"This depends on whether your brothers dare to compare next time, in the Grange, every once in a while, Dazhu and they will organize their own competitions, and the prizes are different each time, if you have been in the Grange for a long time, you will know!" Lin Shuran is worried that Xu Mingchen and they will not adapt to the Grange now, and they will think of a way to leave here when the time comes.
"Of course my brothers dared!" In Xu Mingsong's mind, his brothers are not cowards who are afraid of losing, they just love to cause trouble.
Maybe it was because he wanted something, Lin Shuran had just torn another chicken wing for Xu Mingsong, who had finished eating, when he heard a noise outside, and there were many people running and shouting.
"What's going on?" Lin Shuran hurriedly got up and walked outside, and at this moment, Mama Zhang hurriedly came over and told her that there was a fire in the rice field outside, and the fire was raging at this time, and everyone was fighting the fire.
"Where are the young masters?" Lin Shuran's heart was pulled up in an instant, and she asked Chunxi to take care of the two little ones, and she rushed outside.
Thick smoke rose from the rice field in the distance, and the figures were busy, Lin Shuran didn't care about anything else, and rushed to the vicinity of the burning rice field, anxiously looking for Xu Mingchen and his children, but found that they and Dazhu's children were helping to put out the fire.
"Quickly call a few young masters and Dazhu back, and quickly let people dig a drainage ditch and bring in the lake water!" Lin Shuran shouted orders to Zhang Tang and the others who were fighting the fire, and Zhang Tang, who was already covered with cigarette ash, ran to Xu Mingchen's side, but Xu Mingchen shook his head and refused.
"Leave us alone, put out the fire!" Seeing that a large area of golden rice fields was about to be destroyed by this fire, Xu Mingchen and they couldn't take care of anything, although they were still children, but they also knew how important food was to people, last year's famine year, because there was no food to eat, I heard that many places in the Jin Dynasty were starved to death.
