Chapter 121 Braised Black Chicken
The three of them closed the door and started preparing food.
It was getting dark outside.
The room was lit by two candles.
Jiang Rong and Ling Lan began to deal with the mutant black chicken that was two people tall.
The feathers of this mutant black chicken were as hard as iron, and it was difficult to cut them with ordinary weapons. Jiang Rong directly used the mantis sickle he collected in the mall last time to cut them.
First, I cut two mutant black chicken legs.
Each leg of this mutant black chicken is as big as a washbasin, and just two of them are enough for the three of them to eat.
Fortunately, Lily of the Valley's ability is ice-related, so we can freeze the remaining ones first and don't have to worry about them going bad.
Xiao Chu was responsible for boiling water to scald the tiny hairs on the black chicken legs.
This time there was no ready-made gas available in the small apartment; it must have been looted by nearby residents.
Although there was no gas tank, they found an old small coal stove.
But there are no coal briquettes here, so we can only find some burnable wood to use temporarily.
So Jiang Rong and Linglan simply dismantled a small wooden bed in the bedroom.
After the two men's violent demolition, a pile of broken wood and sawdust appeared in a short while.
It was said that the mutant mantis sickle was really useful and could cut anything. Even if it was worn out, there were countless mutant mantises in Jiang Rong's space that could be replaced at any time.
Xiao Chu didn't know how to make a fire, so Linglan found some paper and wood chips, lit them and put them into the coal stove. Then she put some thin wooden sticks in one after another. When the sticks gradually started to burn, she started to put larger pieces of wood in.
Now the fire is ready.
Kettles, pots and pans are all ready-made and can be used after just washing.
Lily of the Valley used her special powers to create some ice cubes and put them into the pot to boil.
The water from the first and second boiling is used for washing things.
The third batch was for the three people to drink for the rest of the day. Each of them had a large thermos cup.
The rest will be used for cooking tonight.
After two black chicken legs as big as washbasins were scalded with hot water, some of the tiny black down feathers on them were easily poked off and they were clean after two or three washes.
At this time, Jiang Rong took out four or five large potatoes from his backpack, which he had stored in the space.
Since there are chicken, mushrooms, radishes, dried chili peppers, onions, ginger, and green peppers.
Then if you add a few potatoes, you can have braised chicken.
And there are a lot of seasonings here.
They also found a large casserole in the kitchen.
It just might take some time.
Wash and cut the chicken thighs into pieces.
Jiang Rong started to peel potatoes and radishes, while Linglan was responsible for cutting them into pieces.
However, they could not finish the food they brought in from outside, and it was inconvenient to take it away, so Xiao Chu and Ling Lan felt very sad about the waste.
However, in reality, they were all put into the space by Jiang Rong.
As more and more things are loaded, the space becomes more and more crowded, and upgrading and expanding the capacity is imminent.
After all the ingredients are processed, it is up to the lily of the valley to decide how to cook them.
Jiang Rong and Xiao Chu were fiddling with the pressure cooker in the kitchen.
You can cook rice with a pressure cooker. The rice is ready-made anyway.
Then you can slice the sausage that Lily of the Valley wants to eat and steam it on top of the rice.
It will definitely smell delicious when it’s cooked.
Jiang Rong and Xiao Chu started working right away, one washing rice and the other cutting sausages.
But there was only one coal stove, so they had to wait until the braised chicken was ready before they could cook.
At that time, you can eat some vegetables first and eat until you are about half full, and the rice should be cooked.
While Xiao Chu and Linglan were busy in the kitchen, Jiang Rong went to the storage room again. When he came out, he was holding a bundle of cans of Coke in his hand.
A bundle of 24 bottles, 500ml each.
Logically speaking, the Coke should have expired by this time.
But the temperature was extremely low for most of the past year, and it was only really warm in the past one or two months, so it is still drinkable.
What's more, she took this bundle of Coke out from the space, so she didn't have to worry about it expiration.
"Oh my god, Coke?!" Xiao Chu came out of the kitchen and saw 24 bottles of canned Coke on the table in the living room. He wiped his eyes in disbelief, and then became ecstatic.
“Oh my god, it’s really Coke!!!”
"Jiang Rong, where did you find it?"
"I was rummaging under the compartment in the storage room and suddenly found it." Jiang Rong said as he opened a bottle and took a sip.
Because I haven’t had it for a long time, I feel a little happy and bubbling.
"It's drinkable. You can try it too."
"Okay, Coke, hahaha, here I come!" Xiao Chu rushed to the bundle of Coke with an excited look on his face, then carefully opened a bottle and took a small sip.
A familiar taste.
Then he took a big gulp and, as expected, choked.
"Drink slowly. There's so much and no one will snatch it from you." Jiang Rong smiled and shook his head.
Then he took a bottle and walked into the kitchen and handed it to Lily of the Valley.
"I found it in the storage room. There's a small box. Feel free to drink." Jiang Rong said as he drank the Coke in his hand.
"Do you need ice?" Lily of the Valley took it with a smile.
"Gaga ga." Jiang Rong's eyes lit up when he heard that.
"I want ice too. I want ice too." Xiao Chu also came over at this time. When he heard about adding ice, he immediately said excitedly.
Afterwards, the three of them drank ice cola in the relatively stuffy kitchen while staring at the stewed chicken in the casserole.
Because Linglan's current strength is only at the advanced level of the first level, it is impossible for her to use her supernatural powers to cool everyone down all the time.
Generally, it will stop when the temperature drops to a relatively acceptable range for the human body.
So it's still quite hot in the house now.
But she will still cool everyone down when they eat. After all, they have worked hard all day, so they need to eat well.
It’s too hot and people easily lose their appetite.
At this time, the three of them didn't know that they were cooking with great relish, but the fragrance drifted through the gaps in the door and drifted to other floors of the building, causing great suffering to the indigenous residents living there.
Recently, because of the mutated plants downstairs, they have not yet found a way to go out to find supplies. They are in a situation where they are short of food and water and it is extremely hot.
The temperature is high and the smell dissipates quickly. At this moment, those people are cursing in their hearts, wondering who the food is so delicious!
It took three pots of stew to get the two black chicken legs and other ingredients just right.
This was almost enough for the three of them. In fact, the food they brought back was far from finished.
Jiang Rong and the other two ate and drank while waiting for the next pot.
The black chicken leg meat can be described in one word: tender. It does not taste dry at all, but is fragrant and tender. It is also seasoned with other ingredients, such as the umami flavor of mushrooms, the spiciness of dried chilies, the unique spiciness of mutant green peppers, and mutant ginger and onions.
In short, the three of them ate voraciously.
"Wow, it's delicious. Linglan, your cooking skills are amazing!" Xiao Chu praised while eating.
"That's absolutely amazing. From now on, we will tie Lily of the Valley to our side and not let her go anywhere. She will cook for us every day." Jiang Rong joked while eating. The taste of this dish was indeed amazing!
It melts in your mouth and has great color and flavor.
"It must be because these mutated ingredients are delicious. I've never cooked something so delicious before." Linglan was happy about the flattery from the two people opposite her, but she was still rational. She knew her own cooking level.
Jiang Rong ate half of his fill just from the black-bone chicken legs, then started eating the radishes, potatoes and mushrooms soaked in soup.
The potatoes were cooked soft and tender, making them easy to eat. The radish itself was slightly sweet, and the hot and thick soup made it irresistible. The mushrooms in the soup were the most tender and fragrant!
I ate until I was about 60% full.
The rice in the pressure cooker in the kitchen is also cooked.
Linglan took out the pressure cooker directly. At this time, the gas inside had almost leaked out and it could be opened easily.
As soon as the lid of the pot is opened, the salty aroma of sausage hits you.
The rice grains are plump and translucent.
The surface of the rice is covered with a layer of sliced sausage.
Jiang Rong and Linglan each finished three bowls of rice and soup.
Xiao Chu could only eat one bowl at most.
After that, I could only watch, rubbing my bloated stomach, as the other two people continued to devour the last few dishes and rice.
Xiao Chuxin laughed and said, these two guys really can eat, hahaha.
At this moment, the haze of the past gradually dissipated in Xiao Chu's heart like thin clouds and smoke.
Days like this are not bad.
Before she knew it, she wasn't even so eager to go back to Beijing.
After the meal, the three of them rested for a while, then quickly cleaned up the dishes, pots, and pans and began to rest.
Jiang Rong and Linglan take the time to practice during their rest.
After you have eaten and drunk enough, you should work hard.
Anyway, if you keep practicing, you basically don’t need to sleep.
But not long after, there was a slight sound at the door in the dim light.
Jiang Rong and Linglan both opened their eyes immediately, only Xiao Chu was still fast asleep.
"KuKu, is anyone there?"
Jiang Rong was a little surprised when she heard the sound outside the door. She thought it was a thief, but it turned out that the other person was just knocking on the door politely.
Jiang Rong lit the candle and walked forward.
"What's up?"
Jiang Rong looked through the peephole and saw a group of people standing outside, young and old, all of whom looked pale and thin, with dry lips.
"We would like to exchange some water with you, is that okay? By the way, we would also like to ask you about the situation outside, because we haven't been out for a long time because of those mutant plants down there."
The man who was speaking was a middle-aged man with an untidy beard and slightly long hair that covered half of his face. His hair was messy and tangled.
Jiang Rong frowned slightly, feeling that this person looked familiar.
At this time, Xiao Chu, who had just fallen asleep, also woke up.
The three of them exchanged glances and finally nodded. Those people outside didn't look like villains.
Finally, there was a click from the door lock, and the door was opened from the inside.
However, Jiang Rong did not let these people into the house, but just talked to them at the door.
"What do you want to exchange water for us?"
"Can we use the vegetables we grow ourselves? There are cherry tomatoes and onions."
These were cultivated by the combined efforts of several parties and with much effort.
"Is there anyone with wood-related abilities among you?" Jiang Rong hit the nail on the head.
At present, apart from the official method, all other varieties that can be grown are mutant varieties.
Jiang Rong looked at the small tomatoes and onions they came from, and they were obviously varieties from before the apocalypse.
This should be something that the wood-type mutants who have been put to use recently can do.
"Yes." The middle-aged man in the lead did not hide it.
"Okay, how much water do you want to change?"
The man gestured with his hand.
five.
"Be more specific." Jiang Rong didn't want to play tricks with him.
