After returning home, Xie Yunjiao looked at Gu Huai and said, "You guys must be hungry too. Wait a moment, I'll go cook now."
Gu Huai nodded and put down the basket in his hand.
Xie Yunjiao took out her spoils from the basket like she was presenting a treasure, and then said proudly, "Look, I picked up a lot of good stuff today."
When Gu Huai saw the chestnuts she poured out, he asked doubtfully, "These pine nuts are so hard, are they edible?"
He had seen a lot of them in the mountains before, but they were hard and difficult to chew, so no one ate them.
They were all eaten by wild animals, right?
Xie Yunjiao's forehead immediately became brow-beaten. It turned out that the ancients really didn't know the value of things. "Yeah, this is called chestnut. It's very delicious. You'll know later."
After saying that, she poured all the chestnuts into the basin, and then poured out the mushrooms.
"Mom, eating this will give you a stomachache. Someone has eaten it before." Doudou exclaimed when he saw the mushrooms.
"This is edible. It's not a poisonous mushroom. It's called shiitake mushroom. I plan to make chicken stewed with mushrooms. It's delicious." Xie Yunjiao said with her mouth watering.
Is this truly natural food?
Gu Huai and Dou Dou looked at Xie Yunjiao and were stunned.
Gu Huai always felt that something was different. The feeling Xie Yunjiao gave him was completely different from the day they got married. It was like she had become a completely different person.
But in comparison, he prefers the current Xie Yunjiao.
Doudou couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard what Xie Yunjiao said, "Mom, I really want to eat..."
Xie Yunjiao smiled and said, "It will be ready to eat soon."
There isn’t much food left at home, and we don’t have any income, so we have to eat frugally.
Xie Yunjiao grabbed a few handfuls of brown rice and put them in the pot, intending to make some porridge, which was the most economical way.
She washed the rice and started cooking the porridge, then she started chopping the chicken and washing the mushrooms.
"I went out hunting today and caught two small things, a rabbit and a pheasant." Gu Huai said lightly.
Xie Yunjiao raised her eyes, paused for a moment, and felt a little happy in her heart, "Well, it seems that we are lucky today, but we have pheasant to eat today, so why not take those two little things out and sell them?"
Xie Yunjiao thought that they should do business now, exchange money, and then make money from money, so that they can make money quickly.
She had just thought of a way to make money, which was those chestnuts.
However, she was not sure whether the ancients would like it, so she tried it first.
"Okay, as you say, but this amount is a bit small. I'll go up the mountain to take a look later." Gu Huai responded.
"No rush, we have other things to do after dinner." After Xie Yunjiao said this, she started stewing the chicken.
She poured some oil into the pot, then put the pheasant in and stir-fried it. When it was almost done, she added some water and started stewing. The seasonings in ancient times were limited, so they only added some salt for seasoning. However, because they were all natural foods, they would be more original and delicious.
While frying, the aroma filled the air and Xie Yunjiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
When the chicken was almost cooked, she poured the mushrooms in and continued to cook. Finally, she added the scallions to season it. After the sauce had collected, she scooped it into the bowl.
Doudou saw this and his eyes widened.
My mother is so amazing. She is so good at cooking. You can tell that the food tastes delicious just by looking at it.
"Mom, you are so awesome!" Doudou said admiringly.
Xie Yunjiao smiled, then said mysteriously, "Mom will make you another delicious meal."
After saying that, she washed the chestnuts in the basin twice with water, and then made a "cross" shaped cut on the chestnuts, so that they would be easier to taste and easier to peel.
Gu Huai watched Xie Yunjiao fiddling with food, and he trusted her from the bottom of his heart.
The egg pancakes she made yesterday were really delicious. To be honest, his taste was quite picky, but he admitted that his taste buds were conquered.
"Mom, this pine nut...oh...can chestnut really be eaten? It seems very hard..." Doudou was still very confused, after all, none of them had ever eaten it.
There are a lot of them on the mountain, but no one eats them.
Xie Yunjiao nodded, "Of course you can, you can eat it once it's cooked."
After she sorted the chestnuts, she poured them into the pot, added water to cover them, and started to cook until the chestnuts were fragrant and each cut was bursting. She saw that the juice was almost collected, so she came to the critical step. She put in a spoonful of sugar and some oil, and then started to stir with a spatula, turning it over and over again, frying the sugar and oil into a fragrant aroma, and letting them dissolve into the chestnuts as soon as possible. After a while, the sugar slowly dissolved, looking bright and attractive, and emitting bursts of fragrance.
Xie Yunjiao picked one out and tried it. It was really pink, sticky and sweet. The taste was really indescribable. It was so delicious that she couldn't stop eating it.
It still tastes the same as I remember. I never thought I could eat such delicious food here.
She is a foodie, and that's why she became a chef.
Xie Yunjiao quickly took out the chestnuts and packed them up. She only took half of the chestnuts to see how they tasted.
If it is delicious and they all approve, Xie Yunjiao plans to make some and sell it at the town market to exchange for silver.
She felt that there was still a market for this thing, after all, it was new and no one had tried it before.
There are many rich people in the town, so maybe we can sell our products well.
A simple and delicious meal was ready. Xie Yunjiao felt very happy looking at the prepared meal. She was a chef and these dishes were not difficult for her.
She wiped her hands and took the dishes out, "It's time to eat."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Gu Huai and Dou Dou coming over. They were staring at the prepared food in a daze.
Xie Yunjiao said angrily, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and sit down to eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
She also touched Doudou's head, then pulled him to sit down and urged him gently again.
She scooped a bowl of porridge for each of them, then sat down herself and passed the chicken leg to Doudou.
Doudou saw this and said, "Mom, I'll give you the chicken leg to nourish your body. Doudou won't eat it."
Xie Yunjiao was very touched when she heard this. She said gently, "Eat Doudou. Mom is well now. You are growing up now. You need to eat meat to grow up."
Gu Huai was very pleased after seeing this. His mother had finally done a good thing for him and helped him find a good wife.
Doudou carefully took the chicken leg and started eating it. He had never seen the appearance of a chicken leg before. The chicken leg was either eaten by Gu An or Zhuangzhuang, and it was never his turn.
Xie Yunjiao saw this and felt a complicated and uneasy feeling in her heart.
