Yu Xifeng got to eat the chicken soup cooked by Zhang Qiu as he wished.
A bowl of golden, greasy food.
The two of them had no shortage of smoked and cured meat, but fresh meat was hard to come by.
After Zhang Qiu placed the live chicken,
This one is dead, it’s dead, and Zhang Qiu cooked it generously.
I stewed half of the first pot directly.
It contains wolfberry, red dates, angelica, longan, and round eggs.
After simmering on low heat for five or six hours, the chicken melts at the touch, and the aroma of angelica removes the greasiness of the floating meat.
The eggs were not shelled. After absorbing the soup, they were gently cracked open to reveal spider-web-like patterns.
Zhang Qiu gave the chicken legs and wings to Yu Xifeng.
Even the bones were removed. Yu Xifeng felt a little embarrassed: "You eat it too."
Zhang Qiu smiled and said, "This pot is enough."
Take a bite and the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth.
Yu Xifeng finished the food in his bowl and drank the chicken soup, but he was still not satisfied: "I'll eat the remaining half like this."
Zhang Qiu said: "I thought you would prefer braised."
Yu Xifeng hesitated.
In terms of taste alone, she does prefer braised food.
But the soup tastes good too.
Tsk, I should have brought back one more chicken.
"There's still soup in the pot. We'll have chicken noodle soup tonight. I'll use the remaining half to stir-fry diced chicken for you."
Yu Xifeng had no objection as he could have soup in the evening.
Cang Hui squatted beside the table with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Yu Xifeng felt a rare pang of guilt, so he took the initiative to pick up the bones on the table and added them to the bowl that Cang Hui was eating from.
Seeing Zhang Qiu looking over, Yu Xifeng added to Cang Hui: "I don't blame you."
Perhaps the ancient calendar really has some kind of mysterious rule. On the day before Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky light that had lasted for several months gradually dimmed.
The moon rises above the branches, and the night falls.
Zhang Qiu came back with two full bags.
One bag contains sesame cakes and the other bag contains moon cakes.
Yu Xifeng looked at him and laughed: "How did you come back in such a state?"
Zhang Qiu's head was covered in black and gray, and he was sweating all over his head and face, as if he had just rolled in the mud.
Zhang Qiu wiped his face and spread the black ash evenly: "Oh, I'm not familiar with that pot, and it exploded once."
He rushed to the bathroom to wash his face. "It's actually night today. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon is out at the right time. It's really suitable for the occasion."
Yu Xifeng unbuttoned his pocket, and the sesame cakes, each as big as a bowl, bulged out slightly.
"Try it while it's hot." Zhang Qiu came out of the bathroom.
The sesame seed cake tastes very soft, and the bulging part has a layer of sticky frosting which tastes sweet.
Zhang Qiu said, "I heard this can be stored for a long time. Aunt Zhou lent me the boiler. I will make more in the next two days and take it with me so I can eat it on the road."
Yu Xifeng ate three pancakes in a row. The pancakes were hot and soft. When Yu Xifeng reached out to take the fourth one, Zhang Qiu put the box away.
"This stuff will make you get a sore throat if you eat it. Two or three a day is enough."
Okay.
Yu Xifeng wiped his hands and felt that he was almost full after eating three pancakes.
Zhang Qiu didn't prepare any other dinner, but just made a small pot of seaweed and egg soup.
They each had a bowl of soup, and Zhang Qiu ate the sesame cake with the soup.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, smoke rose from every household in the village.
It smells quite rich.
Village chief Liu came to invite Yu Xifeng to his house for a simple meal.
Yu Xifeng declined politely.
She felt a stomachache while eating Village Chief Liu's meal.
As soon as Village Chief Liu left, other villagers came to invite him.
"It's a big holiday, you two young kids, it's too lonely, come to my house, don't worry, I'll let my Da Zhuang watch over the RV, you can't run away."
The person who said this was Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou was too enthusiastic, so it was much harder to refuse her than it was for Village Chief Liu.
After finally persuading Aunt Zhou to leave, Old Lady Lu came back again with crutches.
Zhang Qiu talked to her for a while but didn't dare to provoke her. He prescribed a prescription for her under the pretext of treating rheumatism for Old Lady Lu.
Tang Bei came one after another, and some children came to invite him.
Tang Bei was sternly rejected by Zhang Qiu.
When it was time for dinner, more children came to the RV, all of whom were sent by the adults to deliver food.
It's a very small bowl with broth, vegetables and rice.
More than enough for two people.
The children lined up to pour the food into Zhang Qiu's bowl.
Things are different now, these little rascals have to take the bowls back.
The child grabbed the candy given by Yu Xifeng and ran away. After running a few steps, he ran back, said thank you in a muffled voice, and ran away.
It was Yu Xifeng’s first time to eat at a banquet hosted by a famous restaurant.
The cooking skills vary and the dishes are mixed together. Although the taste is mixed, it is still delicious.
Yu Xifeng took out the mooncakes from the bag. The one Zhang Qiu was fiddling with was an old-fashioned five-nut mooncake, as big as a palm and quite thick.
Yu Xifeng broke one open and smelled it. It was filled with beef and had sesame seeds sprinkled on the surface.
When Yu Xifeng took a bite, tiny sesame seeds fell down.
Yu Xifeng caught it with his other hand: "Where did the sesame seeds come from?"
"Aunt Zhou gave it to me. I will give the leeks to her tomorrow." Zhang Qiu said.
The two of them were eating the ready-made meals, which were still hot. Yu Xifeng asked, "Is this the custom here? Do we have to send our food back for dinner?"
Zhang Qiu said, "Didn't you give me candy?"
"That's for the kids. Aunt Zhou brought the food herself just now. She didn't bring any candy, did she?"
"No," Zhang Qiu asked, "then what should we do?"
"Please send two eggs over." Yu Xifeng said.
