At noon, the aroma of mushrooms filled the entire yard.
Xie Yuanchao smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the door and shouted, "Sister, did you pick mushrooms today? What did you do?"
Xie Wan stewed the green head mushroom with an old hen, but she really didn't know how to cook Matsutake mushrooms. If she just stewed it in soup or fried it, she felt it was a bit of a waste of food.
After showing the matsutake she had picked to Xie Yuanchao, Xie Yuanchao was shocked, "Sister, you actually picked so many matsutake mushrooms? They are not easy to pick."
"Brother, can you do it?"
Xie Yuanchao was very proud, "Sister, I, your big brother, don't usually cook at home, but if you want to know how to cook matsutake mushrooms, then you have come to the right person.
In Tibet, matsutake mushrooms must be fried with ghee. It is a classic among classics. Do you have ghee at home? I will fry it. "
Xie Yuanchao often eats at his sister and brother-in-law's house, so he is familiar with the kitchen.
He rolled up his sleeves, wiped the dirt off the matsutake with a damp cloth, and said to Xie Wan, "Remember, when handling matsutake, never wash it with water."
Xie Wan stuck out her tongue. Fortunately, she didn’t do it herself.
Xie Yuanchao cleaned the matsutake mushrooms and cut them into 3mm thick slices for later use. He looked at the big earthen stove and the big iron pot and shook his head, saying, "Neither this fire nor this pot will work. Do you have a frying pan at home?"
Xie Wan shook his head. All the things in this house were bought in Linzhi, so where could he find a frying pan?
Xie Yuanchao frowned, then suddenly thought of something and said, "A camping pot will do. A camping stove would be even better."
Xie Wan had these two things in her space, so she went back to the room and took them out.
Xie Yuanchao lit up the marching stove, heated up the marching pot and said, "When your brother was at the outpost, this was the best dish. Every time it rained, we would go out on patrol and look for it. We would cook it in this marching pot and marching stove. The taste was something that only heaven could offer..."
After the pot was heated, Xie Yuanchao lifted the pot a little to avoid the fire being too big, put in yak butter to melt it, then spread the Matsutake slices in the pot and sprinkled a small amount of rock salt.
"Where's the barley wine?" Xie Yuanchao shouted.
Xie Wan had previously treated some nearby herdsmen, and they gave her some highland barley wine, most of which went into Xie Yuanchao's stomach. Xie Wan didn't like her brother drinking, so she hid it.
This time it was taken out again.
When the matsutake slices were fried until both sides were slightly yellow, Xie Yuanchao sprinkled barley wine into the pot to enhance the flavor and complained, "There is still so much barley wine left. You told me you had finished it two days ago. You must have saved it for Qin Muye to drink. Humph!"
Xie Wan rolled her eyes at her brother. This guy was never like this before. She didn't know why he started competing with Qin Muye for favor after arriving in southern Tibet.
When the dish was taken out of the pot, Xie Yuanchao exclaimed: "It would be great if we could put some fresh pine needles on the bottom of the dish to let the heat stimulate the pine scent!"
Xie Wan quickly stopped Xie Yuanchao from pouring the Matsutake slices into the plate, rushed into the house with the plate, and when he came out, there was a layer of fresh pine needles on the plate.
Xie Yuanchao was stunned. "Sister, are you trying to trick me into doing this? You've already prepared all the ingredients. Can you cook this dish?"
Xie Wan gave three fake smiles, "No, no, isn't this a coincidence?"
When Qin Muye came back, he was also attracted by the dishes for lunch.
The family of three enjoyed the delicious food so much that they couldn’t put their chopsticks down.
After the meal, Xie Wan leaned back in her chair with satisfaction. This was the most comfortable meal she had had since she became pregnant. She didn’t suffer from morning sickness at all. It seemed that the baby in her belly was also a glutton!
Qin Muye was washing dishes. Xie Yuanchao stretched his long legs and moved himself to Xie Wan's side. The brother and sister sat next to each other in the yard, dazed and talking incoherently.
"Sister, don't be busy cooking tonight. I'll come over and make you some buttered mushroom rice with the remaining mushrooms. That's really delicious."
"Yeah, okay!"
"Has my nephew been well behaved these past two days?"
"You're so young, how can I know if you're well behaved?"
"Sister, how come you are so amazing? I saw it the night you performed surgery on He Jianhua. That guy is really lucky to have met you..."
"Xie Yuanchao, do you have anything to ask of me today? If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart."
Xie Yuanchao glanced at Qin Muye.
Xie Wan guessed that it must be related to the group's affairs. She said unhappily, "Xie Yuanchao, do you understand the rules? Don't bring work matters to your family to plead for mercy. If you do this, how can Muye carry out his work in the group?"
Xie Yuanchao said aggrievedly: "Don't I support his work? Ask him, when did I, his elder brother-in-law, fail to give him face outside? He often scolds me like a monkey in front of outsiders. What did I say?"
Xie Wan felt distressed again when he heard Qin Muye scolding his elder brother in front of outsiders.
My eldest brother may be a little naive, but there is really no problem with his character or work attitude.
"Qin Muye, why are you scolding him in front of outsiders? Why can't you just talk it out calmly?"
Qin Muye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was busy washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen, while the Xie brothers and sisters were digesting their food on the recliners like "rich landlords". Why did this troublesome brother-in-law complain?
"Xiao Wan, don't listen to his one-sided words.
Ask him what he did."
Xie Wan turned around and asked Xie Yuanchao, "Brother, what did you do?"
Xie Yuanchao said without any guilt: "Didn't I just scare those Indians?
Who asked them to steal the herders' cattle and sheep?"
When Xie Wan heard that it was related to the Indian across the street, he became interested, sat up straight and asked what was going on.
Xie Yuanchao said: “Recently, the livestock quarantine station in the Asan border area has been conducting large-scale quarantine.
