Chapter 143 Roast Chicken
Zhang Juexia washed two cabbages for winter storage and soaked some dried black fungus.
After the bone soup in the iron pot boils, add the lamb slices cut by Ye Beixiu and the hot pot is ready.
It was snowing outside and the house was steaming hot.
Liu Mingda was having such a great time eating!
Ye Beixiu was not to be outdone, "I didn't expect this thing to be so delicious. My lady, you have such a skillful hand. How come anything can become so delicious once it falls into your hands?"
Liu Mingda knocked him on the head with his chopsticks, "Silly boy, your wife is amazing, you are so lucky! It's delicious, it's really delicious."
Licorice, who never had a say, nodded frequently this time.
Although Zhang Juexia was attracted by the deliciousness of the mutton, she still felt that the hot pot was not quite tasty enough.
Her favorite wide noodles were not available, nor was the chive sauce she wanted to dip it in.
There are also no various leafy greens.
However, being able to eat hot pot in this cold winter can be considered as compensation for her!
Ye Beixiu put a few slices of mutton into her bowl and said, "My dear, eat it. If you like it, I will go buy another sheep after you finish eating."
Liu Mingda didn't even raise his head. "Yes, after eating this one, I have to buy another one."
Gancao looked at Zhang Juexia eagerly, as if wanting her to agree quickly.
Zhang Juexia nodded in agreement.
"There's more than one way to eat this mutton. Tomorrow I'll cook the sheep's head and offal and make mutton soup for you.
The mutton can be chopped into stuffing or used to make mutton dumplings.
If there is barbecue material, you can also grill it and eat it."
"Barbecue ingredients?"
"Um."
"When we go to town someday, we have to go to the grocery store, ma'am, you must remind me."
"become. "
The heavy snow fell for two days in a row and finally stopped.
These two days, I have been eating and sweeping snow at home.
In the yard, on the roof, they were constantly sweeping the snow.
Ye Beixiu looked at the thick snow and kept sighing, fortunately he lived in the new house, otherwise it would be strange if the three thatched houses were not collapsed by the snow.
"I wonder how the people in the village are doing?"
Ye Beixiu shook his head, "Anyway, at this time, families with at least some stuttering won't go hunting in the mountains.
If we sweep the snow frequently, it won't be a big problem. The main problem is our old thatched cottage, it's too old."
No one came to the backyard, so it was quite quiet.
The main reason is that the snow is too thick and the road is difficult to walk on.
Zhang Juexia thought, they must be holding it in so hard that they will burst!
Zhang Juexia asked Liu Mingda, "Can you please take a look? Is the snow still falling?"
"I checked yesterday and there won't be any more in the near future. I can't be sure about that even after the twelfth lunar month.
It's a good thing the snow is falling. Those acres of wheat you planted are benefiting from it!"
Zhang Juexia liked to hear this. Farmers naturally hope that the crops they grow will have a high yield.
Ye Beixiu couldn't sit still, so he asked Gancao to sweep away the snow outside the gate.
Zhang Juexia then remembered that the chickens he bought a while ago were still in the backyard.
It's so cold, not only will it waste food to feed them, but they won't grow any more either. It's better to kill them and eat their meat.
Zhang Juexia called Ye Beixiu and Gancao to the backyard and told them to kill all the chickens.
Although he had doubts, Ye Beixiu still listened to Zhang Juexia's words and did it quickly and efficiently.
This is also the reason why Zhang Juexia is willing to live with Ye Beixiu, and the couple discussed it together.
The most important thing is that Ye Beixiu is obedient.
Zhang Juexia didn't have to waste time talking to him, the job was done.
Liu Mingda saw that they were either slaughtering sheep or chickens these days. Although he was happy, he couldn't help but ask Zhang Juexia, "Are you going to live like this?"
Zhang Juexia smiled, "Doctor Liu, my husband hasn't asked this question yet, but you asked it now?"
"Isn't this a puzzlement to me, old man?"
"We have to eat better in winter, otherwise how can we resist the cold?"
“That’s true, but how are we going to eat so many chickens?
Juexia, you have a lot of ideas, think carefully, I don't want to drink chicken soup today and eat fried chicken tomorrow, it's boring to eat back and forth."
"It seems that I really have spoiled your mouths."
Gan Cao, who was busy plucking chicken feathers, also raised his head and nodded in agreement. "Miss Ye, I can't even imagine what I'll do for food if I follow Master back to the county town next year."
Liu Mingda slapped Gancao on the head and said, "You little bastard, I've made you starve for so many years."
Licorice stuck out her tongue and replied unconvincedly, "Didn't you also say that Miss Ye's cooking is delicious, but Master's wife's cooking is not?"
"Silly boy, if the food your mistress cooks isn't tasty, don't tell anyone about it. Do you think I still have any face left?
Besides, if your mistress heard this, we two might not even be able to eat."
Licorice raised his head and thought about it. It was indeed the case. He was so scared that he buried his head in plucking the hair again.
Zhang Juexia was speechless. "It's good enough that someone cooks for you, but you're still picky. Hurry up and get back to work. It's so cold outside. If you don't mind the cold, I'm still cold."
A row of naked chickens were placed in front of Zhang Juexia in the kitchen.
Ye Beixiu came forward happily and said, "Madam, I think Doctor Liu is right. I want to eat this chicken in a different way."
"Then you can't put them all here. Put them in the warehouse and freeze them quickly."
"I just want my wife to choose the rest and then release them."
Zhang Juexia laughed, "This isn't a beauty pageant, let me choose the remaining one."
When Ye Beizheng was bending down to take out the chicken, Zhang Juexia suddenly had an idea, "Wait a minute, you really need to eat this chicken differently."
"Um."
"Then try a different way of eating it."
Zhang Juexia asked Ye Beixiu to keep four chickens as she was going to make roast chicken.
Just do it, using what I learned on Tik Tok.
She first tried to plate the chicken and set it aside to drain the water.
Then she went into the main room, found the candy that Ye Beixiu bought for her, took out a few pieces, put them in a bowl, and added a small amount of hot water to dissolve them.
Spread the sugar water evenly on the chicken and prepare to fry it.
When Ye Beixiu heard the noise, he came in to help her boil the pot.
Zhang Juexia put the fried chicken and all the seasonings at home into the pot and started cooking.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she went to the main room to make a pot of tea and took a few snacks. She and Ye Beixiu watched the pot and drank water.
After Liu Mingda smelled the fragrance, he leaned over and asked, "When can we eat this chicken?"
"This is a laborious process. You'll have to wait a while. After it's cooked, you'll have to soak it for a while to let the flavor soak in. If you're hungry, you can eat something else first."
Liu Mingda took a deep breath and said, "No, I can wait even with this fragrance."
Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia smiled at each other, "As long as you are not afraid of being hungry, then wait!"
"Good food is never too late, I will wait."
