Reborn and Divorced: I'm Raising My Kids and Lying Low to Get Rich

Opening her eyes, Chen Hong was reborn. She was reborn just before she was about to take her children back to her parents' home. Not wanting to live a life of looking at others' faces for a...

Chapter 138 Chicken and Mushroom Soup is Delicious

Chen Hong chuckled as she opened the door to go home and cook. She had asked Yu Yang to make eel rice yesterday, and that would be her main dish tonight.

We can't just make one eel rice dish. Zhou Yi is leaving tomorrow, so Chen Hong decided to start by killing a hen to check on her son-in-law!

However, the hen still needed to lay eggs, so Chen Hong couldn't bear to kill it for Zhou Yi to eat. She had no choice but to settle for second best and went to the backyard to catch a big rooster.

Chen Hong took the rooster back to the kitchen and killed it with a single stab, collecting the chicken blood in a bowl.

Only after watching that it could no longer bleed a single drop did Chen Hong throw the dying rooster into the bucket of water.

The lid was put on and the latch was locked, leaving the rooster inside to struggle and die.

Chen Hong boiled a pot of water, and once the rooster was completely still, she began to pluck its feathers.

Chen Hong worked quickly and efficiently, cleaning the rooster in just over ten minutes. The once handsome rooster was now completely naked and ridiculous, a real white-feathered chicken was ready!

This is tonight's main dish! This rooster has been raised for over a year, and it's at its fattest and most delicious.

Chen Hong placed a clay pot on the stove, added water from her spatial dimension, and then placed the whole chicken inside.

Luckily, the clay pot at home is a large size, otherwise this rooster weighs six pounds and wouldn't have been able to cook properly without being coiled up!

I simply put scallions and ginger into the pot, then added soaked dried bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus, along with two pieces of Solomon's seal and a few goji berries, and simmered it over low heat for an hour and a half.

I also sliced ​​a plate of braised pig's head meat, stir-fried some eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, stir-fried beef with green peppers, and added a pot of eel rice. It should be enough for the three of them tonight.

When Zhou Yi and Yu Yang returned home, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of mushroom and chicken soup.

The flavor of this home-raised rooster is so overpowering that it completely overpowers the aroma of the eel.

The roosters raised by Chen Hong are usually fed grains and given water from her space. Even if she doesn't add any seasonings and just stews them in water, the taste will definitely be good.

Moreover, when Chen Hong stewed the chicken, she not only added water from her space, but also dried bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus, and even two pieces of Solomon's seal grown in her space.

Sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top when it's done cooking; the aroma is incredible, and the moment you open the lid, the fragrance hits you.

The irresistible aroma wafting from the kitchen lured Yu Yang and Zhou Yi so much that they got out of the car and went straight into the kitchen.

Little glutton Yu Yang went into the kitchen without even putting down his schoolbag; he was still carrying it on his back!

Seeing that his mother was still busy, he stretched his neck and sniffed around with his little nose.

"Mom, did you stew chicken? How did you make it? It smells so good! Let's eat quickly, my tummy is rumbling!"

Chen Hong leaned down and listened to his stomach; it really was making gurgling noises, which made Chen Hong laugh out loud.

"Xiao Bao, are you just craving something or are you really hungry? Did you not eat enough at kindergarten for lunch? Is the food at your kindergarten bad?"

Yu Yang honestly told his mother, "Mom, I'm both hungry and craving food. The food at kindergarten is just so-so!"

There was a lot of food, but it wasn't as delicious as Mom's cooking. However, we were all full.

I wasn't very hungry at first, but as soon as I got home, the aroma of your stewed chicken made me crave it and feel hungry again.

Mom, have you finished making dinner? What time can we eat?

Oh my, Mom, you even made eel rice! This is delicious too; we haven't made it in a long time.

This stir-fried beef with green peppers is also delicious, especially with rice. Mom, you're so great! All the dishes tonight are my favorites.

Chen Hong chuckled, "You're so sweet-talking, always trying to make Mom happy. The food's all ready, but the chicken needs to simmer a little longer. Do you have any homework?"

"Once you finish your homework, we'll eat right away. You two go wash your hands, and then help clear the table and serve the food."

Zhou Yi, like a child, leaned closer to the clay pot and took a deep sniff. "Wow, this chicken soup tastes amazing! It's packed with so many good ingredients. It'll be very nourishing!"

Chen Hong urged the two of them to wash their hands, and Chen Hong started serving dishes to the table. Zhou Yi, after washing his hands, also came to help.

Yu Yang's homework was very simple; he finished a hand-drawn poster in just over ten minutes. Zhou Yi came over, glanced at it, and said, "What kind of homework is this? It's neither a drawing nor an essay?"

Chen Hong found it amusing. At first, she didn't understand either, letting the children experiment on their own. Later, she realized that this was the kind of handwritten newspaper that children in later generations often made.

This assignment not only requires a short essay, but also illustrations and decorative borders/color schemes. It's a bit like a school bulletin board.

Parents these days have so much to learn! It's basically like accompanying your child through kindergarten and primary school all over again.

Parents can gradually let go once their children enter junior high school. By then, most parents can no longer keep up with their children's learning pace and no longer need to help them with their homework.

The chicken soup was finally ready, and it was time to eat. The three of them sat down at the table, and Chen Hong took out a bottle of wine and poured Zhou Yi a glass first.

Zhou Yi quickly took the wine bottle from her hand, "Let's just have this one drink tonight. Look how delicious this chicken smells. Let's eat more vegetables instead."

This chicken is huge! It's as big as three chickens in a restaurant. The food tonight is so lavish, the three of us might not be able to finish it all. Let's try to eat more vegetables and drink less alcohol.

"Okay! Let's eat more vegetables today!"

Chen Hong served each of them a bowl of chicken soup, which also contained some chicken meat, bamboo shoots, and bamboo fungus.
