Chapter 129 Sweet Coconut Chicken
Hearing this, Lu Yuxiu glanced at Lin Xia and asked Uncle Wang in surprise, "Do you have any mango seedlings?"
"What do you want?" Uncle Wang asked. The mango trees in this village are the crooked seedlings left over from the breeding station. Only the bad ones are planted in the village. The good mango seedlings are probably not good enough.
"We want to plant them in our own yard." Lu Yuxiu understood what he was worried about. It was impossible to give good mango seedlings to others.
Uncle Wang was relieved when he heard this and said with a smile, "That's no problem."
After listening to this conversation, Lin Xia no longer cared about her previous questions. There are mango saplings already?
Before I could be surprised, I saw Aunt Wang coming out with a sack in her arms. Uncle Wang smiled and said, "We don't have much to offer at home, but there are plenty of fruits. Don't be disgusted."
There are mango trees everywhere in the village, and the fruits are abundant. Children love to eat them, but no matter how delicious they are, they cannot fill their stomachs.
Lin Xia quickly refused. How could she ask for mangoes when they had given her the saplings? Seeing that he didn't want any money, she felt embarrassed to accept them.
"Take it." Lin Xia was about to refuse, but when she heard Lu Yuxiu agree, she stopped refusing.
The final result was that Lu Yuxiu went home carrying a bag of mangoes. They had originally planned to go to the town for a stroll and buy some vegetables after they were done with their work, but now they could only think of going home.
By the time the family left home again, it was already late. As expected, the pork stall was empty when they arrived at it. The poultry stall next to it still had some left. Thinking of the coconuts she saw today, Lin Xia immediately thought of coconut chicken.
Stewing chicken in coconut milk will make the soup sweet and fresh with a strong coconut aroma. The chicken is extremely tender. After drinking the soup, you can cook other things in it. Lin Xia immediately decided to eat this today.
Lu Yuxiu finally got a break, and Lin Xia wanted him to eat better as he had been training a lot. Lin Xia had also eaten the food in the cafeteria before, and wondered if the cook was from the north. The steamed buns were very well made, but the dishes had a taste, not that delicious.
With that, Lin Xia took Lu Yuxiu straight to the place where poultry was sold and bought a relatively young chicken. This is the kind of coconut chicken you have to choose as it tastes tender. They also bought a lot of side dishes, such as water chestnuts, corn, various vegetables, etc.
Finally, Lin Xia went to the seafood stall again. She arrived late and the popular fish had been sold out. There were many small fish left. Lin Xia didn't mind and just packed them.
After buying these, Lin Xia and the other two turned to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought coconuts at the fruit stall. They bought four coconuts, and with Lu Yuxiu there, they were not worried about not being able to carry them.
After returning home with a full load, Lin Xia assigned tasks to everyone. The coconut chicken had to be simmered over low heat while she went to prepare lunch and Lu Yuxiu went to help her kill the chicken.
In her previous life, she had never killed a fish, let alone a chicken. The staff at this time would not handle it properly. If Lu Yuxiu had not been resting today, she would not have bought live poultry.
The little guy is a mobile personnel. He looks at his father for a while, then runs to see his mother, and reports at any time.
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
There was a noise coming from the kitchen, which scared Lu Yuxiu and An An. They ran to the kitchen and saw Lin Xia chopping coconut with a knife, looking scary.
"Let me do it." Lu Yuxiu stepped forward timidly and took the knife from Lin Xia's hand, ready to follow her instructions.
Lin Xia pointed at a circle on the coconut, which was the thinnest part of the coconut. "Chop along this circle and it will open."
Chopping this thing is a piece of cake for Lu Yuxiu. He can open the coconut in just a few strokes. Only one is enough to make soup. Adding too much coconut juice will make it too sweet, so Lin Xia likes to add water.
I opened another one and poured it into a cup and shared it. Firstly, there was no straw, so I could only drink it in the cup. Secondly, coconut is cold in nature, so it is not good to drink too much at one time.
Fresh coconut juice tastes sweet and slightly cool, is rich in nutrients, and can relieve heat and reduce internal heat.
The little guy held the big jar and drank it gulps. After taking a sip, he let out a "Ha~" and showed great enjoyment.
"Mom, this is sweet and delicious~" The little guy was very surprised, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Lu Yuxiu knew this before, but who would make this to drink for no reason as a grown man? This was his first time drinking coconut juice. It was like he had opened the door to a new world, but it was not the first time.
Since meeting Lin Xia, many things have refreshed his cognition, especially in terms of food. He has eaten a lot of fish and shrimp, but the tastes are completely different.
After drinking the coconut juice, Lin Xia then dug out the coconut meat and put it into the soup to cook. Lu Yuxiu continued to kill the chicken and even Lin Xia specifically asked him not to throw away the chicken blood. He would make it into chicken blood, which would not only taste good but also prevent diseases such as anemia.
Anything can go in the soup, so Lin Xia doesn't need to cook any other dishes. She just steamed some buns as the staple food and prepared the dipping sauce for the chicken.
When the strong coconut aroma filled the air, the chicken was added and continued to simmer over low heat. Lu Yuxiu and An An smelled the fragrance and drooled in anticipation.
To eat coconut chicken, you have to drink the soup and eat the meat first. There are a few red dates floating on the slightly white soup. It’s a pity that I can’t buy wolfberries, otherwise it would be more nutritious.
The aroma of coconut and chicken soup blended together, creating a sweet and rich fragrance that opened Lu Yuxiu's eyes.
After they finished drinking, Lin Xia added various ingredients into it, cooked it, and brought it to the table, and began to enjoy lunch formally.
The water chestnuts are very sweet after being boiled, and the texture is not as crispy as when they are raw. The sweetness of the corn is mixed with the aroma of coconut, and the vegetables are delicious with a little soy sauce.
Yang Hongmei's family was also having dinner. At first, they could only smell a faint fragrance, with a hint of coconut scent. It was hard to guess what it was, but it was certain that Lin Xia had made another delicious meal.
When Wu Deye smelled the fragrance, he immediately felt that the exchange last night was worth it. Dajun and Xiaojun had been asking questions with their noses turned up, their mouths watering with greed.
Seeing the greedy looks on the faces of the whole family, Yang Hongmei felt angry and curious. She was angry at the whole family for being greedy, but she was curious about what Lin Xia had done and why there were so many different kinds of food.
It is both a blessing and a misfortune to live next door to her.
After the family of three finished their meal and rested, they closed the door and took a nap together.
Lu Yuxiu didn’t have the habit of taking a nap, but he was very excited to be able to hug his wife, so he lay together without feeling sleepy.
After coaxing the little one to sleep, Lin Xia couldn't fall asleep because of the big hand. The hot body was pressed against her back and she couldn't ignore it.
There was no way she could sleep this time, so Lin Xia turned around and they were facing each other. Lin Xia stepped her head back a little and looked at the man.
After being back on the island for so long, maybe it’s because of the daily training, but Lu Yuxiu has become a lot darker than before, but it doesn’t affect his appearance at all, he just looks more tough.
The two of them hugged each other and whispered. Before they knew it, their voices gradually faded away. Perhaps it was because the embrace made her feel too safe, and Lin Xia fell asleep soon.
Lu Yuxiu reached out to tidy up the hair on his face, looking at Lin Xia tenderly, but he felt he could never see enough of her.
When Lin Xia woke up, she saw the man's eyes, gentle and affectionate. She blinked and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"
"Um."
The voice was low, just beside her ear, and it made Lin Xia's ears numb.
