Chapter 123 Digging Ginseng
The fire in the clay stove was burning brightly, and soon it was gurgling and steam was billowing.
The ginger slices and shiitake mushrooms were both produced in the space, and the pheasant was also caught in the secret space. Even if nothing else is added, the soup is still delicious.
On the grill, the moisture on the surface of the pheasant is dried and gradually exudes fragrance.
Xiao Mo turned the roast chicken occasionally to ensure that the whole chicken was heated evenly.
Gu Jinze, Gu Jinan and the others were all working hard picking wolfberries.
Such a large field of wolfberries might not be enough for them to pick even if they work from morning till night.
As time passed, oil gradually appeared on the surface of the roasted chicken, making a sizzling sound and the aroma wafted out.
"It smells so good~" While picking wolfberries, Gu Jinan's attention was drawn to the aroma of roasted chicken.
"Work hard, and I'll reward you with a big chicken leg when it's cooked!" Dong Yulan glanced at An Xiaozi.
For foodies, rewarding them with food works better than anything else.
Sure enough, when he heard that he was going to eat a big chicken leg, Gu Jinan immediately became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and picked the chickens even more vigorously.
As time goes by, the roasted chicken becomes golden, fragrant, and full of meaty aroma...
Qibao also instructed Xiao Mo to skewer the rabbit with sharpened branches and roast it over the fire.
By the time the pheasant is stewed in the clay oven, the roast chicken will be almost ready!
Bai Lao and others took a halftime break.
Dong Yulan threw a handful of freshly picked wolfberries into the chicken soup.
The red wolfberries floating on the surface of the yellow chicken soup make it look even more delicious.
"Let's eat the meat first and then drink the soup!" Su Qingshan picked up a few leaves as big as a cattail fan and said to everyone.
Everyone's attention was focused on the golden roasted chicken.
Seeing there was a rabbit on the fire, I didn't find it strange at all and naturally thought it was brought from home.
Under Qibao's command, Xiao Mo coated the surface of the roast chicken with a layer of honey, making it look more tempting.
A pheasant weighs about three or four pounds and was cut into countless pieces by Su Qingshan.
The first chicken leg naturally went to Qibao, the beloved one of the whole family, and no one else could be left out.
Dong Yulan kept her promise and gave the second chicken leg to Gu Jinan.
Then the wings, breasts, butts, and necks...
The pheasant that Qibao had marinated with seasoning in advance was very tasty. Honey was also added during the roasting process. The chicken skin was golden and crispy on the outside. When you take a bite, you will find that it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The chicken is fresh and juicy.
The rich flavor of honey, sweet but not greasy, has penetrated into every cell of the chicken just right, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste after taking a bite.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious roast chicken!
Gu Jinan ate so much that he wanted to chew the chicken bones into pieces!
It’s so delicious!
This was definitely the best chicken he had ever eaten!
Aaaah, let grandma make more roast chicken for them in the future!
Just bake it this way!
Everyone was conquered by the deliciousness of the honey roast chicken.
Unfortunately, a chicken was shared by a group of people, and everyone just had a taste of it before it was gone.
The rabbit on the grill was still medium rare.
"Drink chicken soup. The chicken soup is ready. Everyone can drink a bowl of soup to warm their stomachs!" Dong Yulan said quickly.
Yes, chicken soup!
The honey-roasted chicken whetted the appetite of the crowd, who soon turned their attention to the chicken soup in the clay pot.
The chicken inside is stewed whole.
The chicken is stewed inside until it is soft and can be easily opened!
Different from the taste of honey roast chicken, the clear-boiled chicken soup is particularly delicious.
Qibao also secretly added spiritual spring water into the soup, which greatly magnified its deliciousness. With the addition of mushrooms and wolfberries, everyone felt happy while eating it!
Old Bai squinted his eyes comfortably.
This is not a place to climb mountains, it's a place to enjoy life.
Everyone ate and drank, and because there was no staple food, a clay pot of chicken soup, both the soup and the meat, eventually went into everyone's stomach.
After eating honey roast chicken, I drank chicken soup.
Everyone is really full now.
After eating and drinking, everyone started picking wolfberries again.
Picking wolfberries and chatting at the same time is so relaxing and pleasant!
There was a large field of wolfberries, and everyone picked them until the sun set.
Qibao and Xiao Mo also went to help in the middle.
It was not until the sun was about to set that everyone rushed home.
In the end, no one ate the spicy roasted rabbit meat with cumin powder. It was put into a backpack and taken home intact.
It is worth mentioning that the backpacks and sacks that everyone brought were all full.
A large field of wolfberries was picked clean by everyone without anyone noticing, filling five sacks and three backpacks in total!
This number really shocked Mr. Bai!
He couldn't believe that the Gu family's hand speed was so fast. He thought it would take at least three or four days to pick that piece of wolfberry, but it was done in one day!
If the Gu family is not rich, who will be rich?
"Oh~" Qibao was hurrying on the road with everyone.
Suddenly he fell with a cry.
The whole family immediately gathered around with concern.
Dong Yulan: "Are you okay, dear? Are you hurt?"
Su Qingshan: "Your cheek wasn't scratched by the branches, right? How about I carry you on my back?"
Su Mingyuan: "Let me hold you, I have more strength."
…
Xiao Mo, who had been following Qibao closely, said: "..."
The fall looked so fake, but the Gu family believed it!
"Hey, Master, come and see!"
Suddenly, Gu Jinze, who had come over to show concern for his sister, let out a cry of surprise.
Upon hearing the call, Bai Lao rushed over immediately.
"It's ginseng, you're lucky!"
Old Bai stared at the ginseng with a look of surprise on his face.
"What, Jinze found ginseng, is this true or false?"
When they heard about ginseng, Dong Yulan and Su Qingshan were both excited.
Ginseng is a good thing!
Its value is incomparable to wolfberry.
The wolfberries they picked all day might not even be worth one ginseng root...
Of course, this does not apply to ginseng of younger years!
"It is indeed ginseng. Judging from the leaves, it should be quite old!" Old Bai sighed.
The exact year can only be known after it is dug out.
Because of this ginseng, everyone stopped again.
Bai Lao and Gu Jinze each held a small shovel and squatted on the ground to dig the soil.
In order not to damage the ginseng roots, Bai Lao and Gu Jinze moved very slowly, loosening the soil while using their hands to push the loosened soil to both sides, fearing that the shovel would accidentally poke the roots...
Gu Qiqi squatted aside and watched with great interest at first, but became bored after a while.
Looking at the progress of Old Bai and his elder brother in digging ginseng, Gu Qiqi doubted whether the ginseng could be dug up before dark.
"Mr. Bai, take a break. Let me do it!" Xiao Mo, who was standing aside, seemed to see Qibao's impatience and said to Mr. Bai.
It is really tiring for Mr. Bai to squat on the ground and dig ginseng at his age!
"Okay, you take over from me for a while. Be careful and go slowly, but don't shovel the ginseng roots!" Old General Bai handed over the shovel without forgetting to give instructions.
It can be said that Xiao Mo listened to what Bai Lao said, but it can also be said that he did not listen to it!
The shovel was swung so fast that it seemed like a trail of afterimages...
"Slow down, kid, slow down, stop..." Old Bai was frightened and shouted to stop.
