Chapter 26 Cooking



The firewood used is large pieces of chopped firewood, so there is no need to worry about anything.

As long as the fire on the small stove did not go out, Fu Hong was called to light the fire for another frying pan. Three stoves were lit at the same time. The kitchen was steaming hot and he was sweating in a short while. However, seeing that he could light the three pots in an orderly manner, he was indeed a master at lighting fires.

Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry the rabbit meat to release the fat, then serve, sauté peppercorns, onions, ginger and other seasonings until fragrant, then add the rabbit meat and stir-fry. The aroma has already come out at this time, and Grandpa Fu, who was sleeping on the recliner, slowly wakes up when he smells the aroma, comes to the kitchen door, and stares at the pot.

"Xiaoxiao, your cooking skills are amazing. It smells so good." He took a deep breath and exclaimed in admiration.

Fu Xiao smiled, "Grandpa, it's too choking here. Why don't you sit outside for a while? We'll eat after my uncles get off work."

Grandpa Fu waved his hand, brought a small stool from outside, and sat in front of the stove with Fu Hong.

"Sun Za, move aside, I'll just watch over this pot of chicken soup."

Fu Hong obediently moved inside.

Fu Xiao served the rabbit meat and used the garlic he had chopped earlier to make some garlic-stirred vegetables.

After frying the last vegetable, place both dishes in the pot to keep warm.

She turned around and looked at the chicken soup. As soon as she opened the lid, she could smell the fragrant chicken soup. The two people in front of the stove took a deep breath at the same time. She vaguely heard the sound of them swallowing saliva. She put a handful of wolfberries into the chicken soup and sprinkled a little salt to enhance the flavor. She put the lid back on. The fire below was almost extinguished, so she added a small branch...

The bell for the end of work rang, and the villagers went home one after another.

Li Xiufen and several other women walked home while chatting. Wang Cuihua, the wife of the Party Secretary, sighed as they walked, "It's so hot today. I just want to lie down on the bed and sleep when I get home. I don't want to cook..."

A crowd of people echoed

"Yes, it would be nice to have someone to cook at home."

"Aunt Xiu, isn't your daughter-in-law at home? She doesn't cook..."

"Well...asking her to cook is like asking her to die," said Aunt Xiu, curling her lips.

"Isn't it just pregnancy? I was working in the fields even though I was about to give birth."

Aunt Xiu sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't true? This daughter-in-law was not married well..."

"Hey, Xiufen, look at the smoke coming out of your chimney. Someone at home is cooking..." Wang Cuihua said, pointing at the team leader's house.

Li Xiufen looked up and saw that it was indeed the case. She quickly said goodbye to everyone and said, "Oh, I have to go check it out. Could it be that our second child is cooking?"

No one can eat the food cooked by her second son...

She trotted home and opened the door. She could smell the fragrance of food. She walked into the kitchen puzzled and saw her little niece busy in front of the stove. Her second child, who was worried about her, was making a fire under the stove.

At this time, Grandpa Fu saw the person standing at the door and shouted happily: "Xiaoxiao, your aunt is back, can you eat now?"

Fu Xiao turned around and saw Li Xiufen standing at the door. He smiled and said, "Aunt, you're done with work. Are you tired? There's water in the basin. Wash your hands and have a meal."

Li Xiufen had a smile on her face all the time. She nodded repeatedly after hearing this and went to wash her hands first. She took the water from washing her hands and prepared to pour it into the vegetable patch. When she walked to the side of the patch, she was startled by a silly roe deer placed beside her.

“Ouch…”

Fu Wei Bo and Fu Yu, who had already entered the house, rushed over after hearing the noise. They were also shocked to see the scene, but they didn't say anything. They washed their hands and went to the kitchen to bring out the food.

Fu Kai, who came with a small backpack on his back, smelled the food and went into the kitchen as soon as he entered the house. Fu Xiao fed him a bite of meat and said, "Be good, go wash your dirty hands. We'll eat soon."

The little guy ate the meat and went outside to wash his hands contentedly.

The dining table was filled with food. Several people sat around the table. They couldn't help but want to eat when they smelled the delicious food, but they still waited for Grandpa Fu to pick up his chopsticks before they started eating.

"tasty..."

Fu Kai took the chicken leg that was handed to him and kept chewing on it. After a while, he finished the whole chicken leg.

Fu Xiao handed him the other chicken leg and broke off half of a wild vegetable bun for him.

Li Xiufen looked at the half-eaten wild vegetable steamed bun in her hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, what kind of vegetable is in this? It's quite delicious..."

"purslane..."

Li Xiufen was confused, "What is purslane?"

Fu Hong swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "It's wasp grass, the one we usually feed chickens..."

"Really?" My aunt was surprised. "Isn't this dish bitter? I remember someone in the village had eaten it before and said it was hard to swallow. But the one you made doesn't taste bitter at all."

Even Fu Wei Bo and Fu Yu looked over.

Fu Xiao put down his chopsticks and explained to everyone: "This vegetable is also called purslane. It is a good thing. It can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and delay aging. It has many functions and is good for the body occasionally. As for the bitterness, the wild vegetables should be scalded in boiling water before mixing with the dough."

Grandpa Fu took a bite of the steamed corn bread and said with emotion: "You know, we country folks are not as good as the little city kids in eating, but we can make this corn steamed corn bread delicious..."

"Yes, take this wheatgrass, there is plenty of it in the fields, but none of us knew it was edible."

Fu Weibo picked up a piece of steamed vegetable with chopsticks and put it into his mouth with garlic sauce. "Hmm...it's quite delicious. With this garlic sauce, it's very refreshing..."

Several people nodded in agreement...

Fu Xiao then said, "We don't have any chili peppers at home, so this dish will be more delicious with chili oil."

Grandpa Fu said, "It's easy. My eldest daughter-in-law, we can grow some peppers in our yard, or we can go to someone's house and exchange some peppers."

"Dad, I understand."

Fu Xiao poured another bowl of chicken soup for Grandpa Fu and handed it to him, "Grandpa, ginseng chicken soup is very nutritious, you should drink two more bowls."

Grandpa Fu picked up the bowl with a smile, "Okay...Okay."

Six-year-old Fu Kai finished eating the chicken leg and started jumping up and down, "Mom, I want to drink chicken soup too, give me more meat."

Fu Xiao served him another bowl of chicken soup with half a bowl of meat in it. The child picked up the bowl, calmed down, and started to eat the meat.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very joyful...
