Chapter 14: 1 Pot of Chicken Soup
"Mom, mom, look, the chicken is not dead!!!"
Wang went to the chicken coop and saw that, sure enough, the three chickens were all there, not one missing.
“Then this thing can be eaten.”
"Mom, let's try it!" Thinking of the taste of chicken stewed with bamboo fungus in her previous life, Lin Xiaomi couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"How can I burn it? I don't know how!"
Xiaomi's eyes were fixed on the chicken that had eaten bamboo fungus yesterday. "Mom, let's make soup, chicken soup. I want to eat chicken. I haven't eaten chicken legs yet!"
Wang felt sad and her eyes turned red. When they ate chicken at the old house, not to mention chicken legs, even the chicken meat was not available to them from the eldest son's family.
"Okay, when your father comes back at noon, we'll stew the chicken."
"Mom, since it's edible, let's go to the bamboo forest and pick some. This thing withers quickly, and if we don't pick it today it will rot in the bamboo forest."
"Yes." Wang took a few bamboo baskets and went to the bamboo forest with Xiaomi.
When Lin Dashan got home, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of chicken, mixed with an indescribable fragrance that made his stomach growl.
"What delicious food are you cooking? I can smell it from far away."
"Dad, mom has killed a chicken, let's have chicken for lunch!" Xiaomi said excitedly. She could finally eat chicken legs and chicken wings. Woohoo... After traveling through time for 7 years, she had never eaten a chicken leg. She had brought shame to the time traveler!!!
"Oh, let's eat chicken, what a great relationship!!! I have to eat two more bowls of rice today."
"His father, please deliver this bowl to the old house."
"Mom, you can give me the chicken soup, but don't give me the mushrooms. What if someone says we gave them poisonous mushrooms?"
Wang cried out, picked up the bowl and went back to the kitchen.
Lin Dashan touched his nose awkwardly and went to deliver the chicken soup with a basket.
He hadn't been to the old house for a while, and when he stood at the door, he suddenly felt a sense of strangeness. He couldn't believe that this was the house he had lived in for thirty years and planned to live in for the rest of his life. It had only been so long, but he didn't feel any attachment to it at all.
It was lunch time, and since it was hot, everyone was eating in the yard. As soon as he entered the yard, everyone looked at Lin Dashan, which made him feel overwhelmed.
"Dad, we killed a chicken at home and brought you a bowl. Please try it."
"Brother, you have a good life now. You can even eat chicken. Where did you make your fortune? Take me with you! It's just that this bowl is a little small for so many of us!" Lin Dahai looked at the bowl of chicken and took a deep breath. It smelled really good! It was even more delicious than the one stewed at home before.
Alas, ever since the eldest brother separated from the family, the food at home is really not good for human consumption. The second sister-in-law’s cooking skills are too poor, and she can only cook the rice well at best. As for his wife, she is a lazy woman, and she always burns the food she cooks. His mother is very concerned about food, so she never lets her cook.
"Shut up." Old Man Lin scolded.
Li looked at the chicken on the table and secretly sneered at the third son for being short-sighted. The eldest son was such a spendthrift, how long would he be able to squander the little money he got from the family division? Fortunately, she didn't adopt his good grandson to him, otherwise, he would be wasted and would have to take care of them in the future?
"That's thoughtful of you. Do you want to eat something together?" Li said in a nonchalant tone.
"No need, everything is ready at home. Dad, I'm going back first."
"Go back. You just separated from the family, so you should be frugal. The days of spending money are still to come!" Old Man Lin also felt that Lin Dashan, who killed chickens during the holidays, was really not living a normal life.
"Yes, then I'll go back first."
Lin Dashan was upset. It turned out that he had sent a bowl of chicken soup to the wrong person. His father really didn't like him at all. He thought that if he left the old house, he would starve to death except for the money he got from the family. Fortunately, he had a good daughter.
"I'm back, wash your hands and eat."
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, I am still at home!!!
The rich chicken soup melts in the mouth, with a unique sweetness and mellowness, plus the unique freshness of bamboo fungus. Lin Xiaomi squinted her eyes in satisfaction, it was so comfortable.
The couple left all the chicken legs and wings to her, but she refused and only kept one chicken wing. The chicken leg was given to Wang.
"Xiaomi, you eat the legs and mommy can just eat the chicken nuggets."
"No, Mom, you eat it, this leg is delicious!"
"This is given to you by the child, just eat it." Lin Dashan said. Wang no longer gave in and lowered her head to eat the chicken leg.
This was also Wang's first time eating chicken legs. The meat was tender and cooked to perfection. It was very tasty. Every bite could taste the mellow meat and rich chicken flavor. No wonder everyone likes to eat chicken, it is really delicious.
Bamboo fungus has a unique and crispy taste, and is no worse than chicken.
"Xiaomi, these mushrooms taste really good."
"Indeed, it's just that stewing the chicken is too expensive. I wonder if there are any other ways to cook it."
"Let's try stir-frying it tomorrow. Besides, instead of stewing chicken soup, we can make other soups. Mom, make one every day and see which one tastes better!"
"Okay, let's make soup with wild vegetables tomorrow."
Lin Xiaomi...
Lin Dashan: “Hahahaha…”
"Dad, I'm going to the city with you tomorrow. I want to show these mushrooms to the restaurant. If they accept them, we'll have another source of income."
Thinking of Xiaomi's bargaining power, Lin Dashan agreed without hesitation. "Okay, let's go by ox cart tomorrow."
old house.
There were more than a dozen people in the family, but there was not enough chicken for each person. The two daughters-in-law and granddaughter each only got a mouthful of soup.
"Brother, you are too stingy. How can such a small amount be enough for anyone?" Lin Dahai was not satisfied. It was really delicious. His sister-in-law's cooking skills had improved. It was this soup that was so delicious that he wanted to swallow his tongue.
"Dad, let my eldest brother send another pot over tomorrow so you can have a good taste."
"We are a family that eats chicken every day. You have the nerve to ask your eldest brother to send one, but why haven't you sent one to me? There's no farming season these days, so get out and find a job tomorrow."
He gets angry when he sees his son. The couple are of the same character, lazy and gluttonous.
Li ate her meal without saying a word. Not to mention the old man, even she wanted to scold this son. Since the family was divided, most of the housework fell on the second son and his wife. The third son and his family were really unreasonable. If this continued, the second son would probably not be willing to give up.
"Old Third's family, tomorrow the job of cutting grass for the pigs and washing clothes will be yours. If the pigs lose a pound, you will get out of here and go back to the Yang family."
Yang:......
Song lowered her head, the corners of her lips raised.
