Liu Yuhan transmigrated in an instant, finding herself in a destitute family in an era plagued by scarcity of food. See how Liu Yuhan stays true to her original aspirations and thrives in ancient t...
I miss my family more during the holidays.
Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, grandfather and grandson Huo Dong still had not returned.
Old Lady Jiang told Liu Yuhan that Huo Nan and the other two hadn't even eaten much for breakfast. Liu Yuhan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the three of them sitting in a row under the eaves, looking somewhat lonely.
Let’s go get some delicious food to lighten the mood.
I asked my eldest brother to go to the mountain and catch ten chickens. At this time, the chickens were neither too big nor too small, just right for making fried chicken. I cleaned the chickens, washed and drained them, and prepared salt, green onions, ginger, cooking wine, and white sugar.
Spread appropriate amount of salt, sugar and cooking wine on the whole chicken, stuff scallion and ginger slices into the chicken's belly, put the seasoned chicken into a bowl, put scallion and ginger slices on the chicken, marinate for three hours and set aside.
During this time, Liu Yuhan fried meatballs. She shredded cucumber, carrot, and potato, added flour and eggs, mixed them appropriately, and fried the vegetable balls. She also fried French fries, potato chips, sweet potato chips, and fish nuggets.
After frying these things, the chicken is also marinated. Mix flour, eggs and warm water, put the chicken into the prepared batter, try to spread it evenly on every part of the chicken, and fry it on low heat in a 70% hot pan until golden brown.
Take out the ketchup and the water bag containing chrysanthemum tea from the space.
Since I prepared so much food, I didn’t cook lunch and just made a pot of wontons.
These fried foods were fragrant and very much to the children’s taste. The little ones temporarily forgot their little sorrows and everyone gathered together to eat happily.
It was their first time eating fried chicken. It was so fragrant and crispy that they wanted to eat more.
As expected, the chickens raised in the wild forests taste different. The meat is very delicious. Liu Yuhan ate a lot of it. After eating so many irritating foods, drinking some chrysanthemum tea to reduce the heat was just right.
The child was very capable and finished all ten chickens, and he still felt unsatisfied.
Xiao Si and Xiao Wu pestered their sister to fry them again next time, and Liu Yuhan naturally agreed to this little thing.
Tonight is Mid-Autumn Festival. Let’s eat some glutinous rice balls in the evening. Glutinous rice balls represent reunion.
Take out the glutinous rice flour, peanut butter, white sugar, ginger, jujube slices, and honey prepared in advance.
Prepare the glutinous rice dumpling wrappers first. Boil glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Make a hole in the middle of the glutinous rice flour and pour the boiled sugar water into the dough to form a smooth rice ball. Knead the rice into a long ball, divide it into small balls, roll it out thinly, fill it with peanut butter, seal the top, and shape it into a ball.
Put white sugar, shredded ginger and jujube slices into clean water and boil them, then simmer on low heat for two minutes to bring out the flavor of ginger and jujube.
Add the prepared peanut dumplings, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cook until all the dumplings float up.
If you like sweet food, add honey and mix well. Wrap the glutinous rice balls first and cook them later when you enjoy the moon after dinner.
The family prepared ingredients for dinner. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so naturally the food is a little richer.
The pig farm in the boys' and girls' dormitories brought over a lot of good fish and meat today. They can cook it however they want.
In the afternoon, Liu Yuhan was making glutinous rice balls when he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of horse hooves and the shouting of Huo Nan and others at the gate of the courtyard.
"Grandfather, brother, you are finally back! Woo woo..."
"Grandfather, brother, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Grandfather! Brother! Pick me up!"
"Master, Young Master, you are finally back..."
"Brother Huo Dong..."
…
Liu Yuhan and the women busy in the kitchen quickly washed their hands and came out to greet them.
Huo Dong introduced Liu Daling, Doctor Liu, Liu Shinan and others who came out to greet him first.
"Grandpa, Doctor Liu, Uncle, this is my grandfather."
The old man with white hair, vigorous spirit, and looking mighty and brave when he stands there is none other than General Huo, the mighty old general of the first rank who protects the country of Nanlin!
Liu Daling and his family paid their respects to the old general. Just as they were about to kneel down, the old general quickly signaled to his grandson, and Huo Dong quickly helped the old man up.
"No need to be so polite, everyone. I'm sorry for coming here uninvited. I, your grandchildren, have been inconvenienced by your visit for so many days. I'm deeply grateful."
Seeing that they were exhausted, Liu Yuhan thought they must have come directly from the military camp, so he quickly asked his father to take them into the main hall to rest and serve them tea.
Huo Dong, holding Huo Bei, secretly glanced at Liu Yuhan who was standing in the crowd.
Finally she's back. It's been two months since we last met. She seems to have grown taller. She's actually walking towards me...
"Brother Huo Dong, did you and your group have lunch?"
"Well, I ate a few dry biscuits in a hurry."
"Then tell them all to wait while we cook some wontons. It'll be quick."
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Xiaohan."
There were four people riding horses with the grandfather and grandson in the yard, a total of six people in the group. She knew Huo Yi and Huo Er.
I quickly cooked six large bowls of wontons, put out a bowl each of fried meatballs, vegetable balls and fried fish pieces, mixed a cucumber salad and stir-fried some shredded potatoes, put the food in the kitchen compartment and asked them to come and eat.
The old general was really hungry.
His eldest grandson was in a hurry on the road. He was supposed to arrive at the end of the night, but he didn't even have time to eat or drink and ended up arriving earlier. Instead of returning to the provincial capital, he went straight to Fulai Village. He was no match for the young people and it would cost him his life.
The old general called the four of them to eat together. It turned out that the other two were Huo San and Huo Si.
The wontons are so delicious!
When Liu Yuhan went to clean up, she saw that all the bowls on the table had been cleared away, not a single dish left. Uh, did she fill too little?
When Old Lady Jiang saw so many people, she asked Liu Yang to go to the chicken farm and catch three more chickens. Liu Yuhan took two more fish and ribs from the space, and the whole family got busy.
