Chicken stew with mushrooms

When Zhao Fuling came back, she met Aunt Wang next door on the ridge.

"Poria, this is just coming down from the mountain?"

Aunt Wang is the wife of Wang Dazhu next door, and there are two seven or eight-year-old children at home. The family is usually loyal, and the two families also had a lot of contacts when Zhao Laosan was alive.

"Ah, it's Aunt Wang, it's not like there is nothing to eat at home, so I thought about looking for it in the mountains." Zhao Fuling squinted her eyes and greeted her with a smile.

"Hey, it's really hard for you brothers and sisters." Aunt Wang looked sympathetic.

"Auntie, if you don't get in the way, it will always pass."

"If you want to, you can open it." Aunt Wang held Zhao Ling's hand and whispered comfort. Zhao Fuling could see that Aunt Wang was not the kind of person who was hypocritical.

After Zhao Laosan died, the two of them also helped to take care of the aftermath together, and even Zhao Laosan's family came to make trouble, and they also helped.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fuling put down the basket and took out a pheasant and stuffed it into Aunt Wang's arms. "Auntie, this is the pheasant I hunted in the mountains today, you can take it back and stew it."

Farmers rarely eat meat, and they can't open meat a few times a year. Aunt Wang couldn't help drooling when she saw that the pheasant was big and had fat legs.

But the mind is still sober, thinking of the current situation of Zhao Fuling's family, Aunt Wang hurriedly pushed back the pheasant handed over by Zhao Fuling, "How can this work?" ”

"Poria cocos, you are all in difficulty now, your mind is your aunt and I have received it." said that Aunt Wang was going to put the pheasant into Zhao Fuling's back basket.

Zhao Lingling grabbed her wrist with one hand. "Auntie, don't push it, I'm lucky today, there's still one in the back basket, you can take it."

"By the way, I also picked some mushrooms on the mountain today, and you can also take some back and stew them with this chicken to make up for Uncle Wang and the children."

Saying that, Zhao Fuling took out a large bag of chicken fir wrapped in leaves from the back basket and handed it to Aunt Wang, and then ran away without looking back.

"Ouch! This kid. Aunt Wang looked at Zhao Fuling's back, and then looked at the fat pheasant and chicken fir in her hand, and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

Zhao Fuling was in too much of a hurry just now, and she was covered in sweat when she got home.

"Sister, you're back." As soon as Zhao Dongqing saw Zhao Fuling coming back with a basket on her back, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Sister, you're back." Zhao Nanxing also ran up.

Gu Zheng, who was sorting out the dried herbs on the side, saw the sweat on Zhao Poria's head, and also walked quickly, catching the back basket on Zhao Poria's back.

As for where Zhao Fuling went, the two brothers didn't dare to ask, let alone Gu Zheng. They only knew that Zhao Fuling went out early in the morning and hadn't come back after noon.

The three of them were still saying that if they didn't come back in the afternoon, they would go out to find someone.

"Oops, it's back, I'm tired." Zhao Fuling unceremoniously threw the back basket to Gu Zheng.

Zhao Nanxing ran into the house at some point, hurriedly ran towards Zhao Lingling with a bowl of water, and handed her the water. Zhao Fuling didn't say a word, lifted the bowl and drank it "gurgling".

"One more bowl." Zhao Fuling handed the bowl to Zhao Nanxing and motioned for him to have another bowl.

Zhao Nanxing took the bowl and went to the house to fetch water.

"Wow! Sister, you actually caught a pheasant! And rabbits! Zhao Dongqing turned out the things in the back basket and looked at Zhao Lingling in disbelief.

"How? Your sister is amazing, right? Zhao Fuling glanced at Gu Zheng and Zhao Dongqing, who looked incredulous.

When will their sister start hunting?

Even Zhao Nanxing, who came over with water, was so excited that he couldn't stand still, and hurriedly handed the water to Zhao Fuling, and then squatted next to the back basket and touched the pheasants and rabbits in the back basket over and over again.

"Sister, do we all have meat to eat tonight?" Zhao Nanxing turned his head and asked with big round eyes.

He hadn't eaten meat in a long, long time, and he didn't know what it tasted like.

"Of course!" Seeing the two little guys so excited, I don't know why, Zhao Fuling was unconsciously happy in her heart.

"Let's eat chicken stew with mushrooms tonight!" Zhao Fuling excitedly announced.

"I'm here, master!" The cloud system suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Fuling's eyes.

Oops, my! This frightened Zhao Ling, but fortunately, outsiders in this cloud system couldn't see it.

Zhao Fuling didn't pay attention to the blue system elf floating in the sky, but looked at Gu Zheng on the side and said, "Do you know how to deal with chickens?" ”

"Huh? Yes. Gu Zheng didn't expect Zhao Fuling to speak to him with a pleasant face today.

"Okay then, you deal with the chickens, Nanxing, you put the rabbits in the back and raise them to eat tomorrow, and Holly, you go and wash the mushrooms."

After the division of labor, everyone went their own way.

After Zhao Fuling took a breath, she went to sort out the herbs in the back basket, as well as the hawthorn pressed at the bottom. Zhao Fuling thought that this hawthorn could be eaten after a meal for a while, and it could be eaten!

Then Zhao Lingling took some of the herbs she had picked and put them on the shelf to dry.

Because Zhao Laosan knew some pharmacology before his death, and most of the family's income sources were also herbal medicines, the children in the family more or less knew some herbal medicines, and there were also shelves dedicated to drying herbal medicines.

Sun-dried herbs are worth more than raw ones, and sun-dried herbs are generally lighter, so when there is no urgency to use money, the herbs are dried and then sold.

Zhao Fuling packed up these herbs, saw the three people busy in the yard, and then looked at the two dilapidated adobe houses and the dilapidated courtyard, Zhao Fuling was thinking in her heart how to change.

In her previous life, she was very strict with the living environment, although the conditions in ancient times were not as good as in modern times, but they couldn't be too bad.

She has money in her pocket now, but how can she rationalize the source of that money? Otherwise, she suddenly took out so much money, it would be easy to attract suspicion.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the pheasants had been washed by Gu Zheng, and the mushrooms had also been washed. Zhao Dongqing boiled a pot of corn porridge, and the rest of the mushroom stew was left, and Zhao Poria said that she would do it herself.

She was afraid that the little ones would not make it delicious and waste the ingredients. However, Zhao Dongqing, who was on the side, repeatedly begged him to do it.

He knew, his sister didn't know she would cook food since he could remember.

"You just believe your sister and me, I can definitely make a taste that you didn't expect." Zhao Fuling once again resolutely assured Zhao Dongqing.

Well, Zhao Dongqing was defeated in the end, and silently prayed for this pheasant in his heart.

Zhao Fuling didn't boil it immediately, I saw her rummage through the medicine shelf, and after a while, she turned over a bunch of herbs, washed the herbs, she put a few pieces of ginger and cut chicken pieces in a pot under cold water, and then ordered Zhao Dongqing to burn a big fire.

"Sister, it's so fragrant!" As the water boiled, the smell of meat gradually wafted out of the pot, so greedy that Zhao Nanxing went directly to the side of the pot to guard, and Zhao Dongqing, who was burning the fire, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Looking at the expressions of the two little guys, Zhao Fuling couldn't help but smile, "I can't eat it yet." ”

I saw her take out the chicken and rinse it with water, then put the chicken fat in the pan and fry it until the fat is fried, and add a little ginger, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves......

Since there are no chili peppers here, she puts some less dogwood, stir-fry until fragrant, add chicken pieces and stir-fry evenly, add water, simmer over high heat, then add chicken fir and salt, and simmer again.

Finally, the fragrant chicken stewed mushrooms are baked.

By the time this pot of chicken is ready, the two boys will already be hungry, and Zhao Nanxing's harazi will go up quickly.

"Sister, are you ready to eat?" Zhao Nanxing couldn't wait to sit down on the table, Zhao Dongqing hurriedly put the dishes and chopsticks, and wanted to move the chopsticks immediately.

Even Gu Zheng's eyes, who had never had any desire to eat, lit up suddenly, he had never seen this kind of novel practice, it was really fragrant, and the taste was very attractive.

Zhao Fuling didn't say much, and immediately served it on the table, and everyone wanted to taste the taste of this pheasant.

Mo said that he usually doesn't get much meat, but it's rare to eat meat today, and it's so fragrant, I can't help it for a long time.

Zhao Nanxing didn't care about the burning, so he put a piece of meat in his mouth and put it in his mouth, so hot that he drank a few mouthfuls of porridge in succession. Zhao Dongqing took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, his eyes opened wide in an instant, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Sister, this is so delicious, it's simply the best meat I've ever eaten in my life." Zhao Dongqing slapped himself silently in his heart at this time, and he never said that his sister would not cook food anymore.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Zhao Fuling couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her heart instantly burst with a sense of achievement.

When she saw Gu Zheng on the other side motionless, she couldn't help frowning slightly, why didn't this guy eat? Could it be that my food is not appealing enough?

Suddenly, a bad memory comes to mind.

She remembered that once she ate meat at home, the original owner said to Gu Zheng that it would be good if the Zhao family could give you a bite to eat, and it was impossible for him to eat meat. Since then, Gu Zheng has not eaten meat in this family.

No wonder people are so tall and so thin, and they look so weak. The original owner, you are so vicious, you don't give meat to others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fuling picked up a chicken leg and put it in Gu Zheng's bowl. Gu Zheng looked at the sudden chicken leg with a shocked expression, and then looked at Zhao Ling.

"Hmm...... Eat, look at your thinness, there will be work for you to do in the future. Zhao Fuling didn't want to admit that she was just atoning for the original owner.

Indeed, there is still a lot of work at home, no matter how good she is, she is just a girl, and her two younger brothers are young, and many things must be done by a man.

Gu Zheng was just stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and silently took a bite of the chicken leg. In fact, he also wanted to taste what the chicken tasted like in this way.

Taking a bite lightly, Gu Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, this chicken ...... This taste is rich and fragrant, soft and rotten, it is simply superb!

"How?" Zhao Fuling saw him eat and asked confidently.

"Naturally, the soup is rich, the entrance is soft and rotten, and the fragrance is delicious." Gu Zheng praised without exaggeration.

"How did you know about this practice? The addition of spices not only masks the fishy smell of the chicken, but also stimulates the flavor of the chicken, which is really wonderful. ”

"It's a secret!" Zhao Fuling narrowed her crooked crescent eyes and did not answer Gu Zheng's words directly.

While the two were talking, the two little guys had already dried up a pot of chicken to only half a pot.
