When Qin Ping saw another sack of chicken mushrooms, her eyes lit up.
"Wei Yanzhen, you didn't steal or rob, did you?"
"How did your father and I educate you?"
Wei Yanzhen's throat was choked. The look in his mother's eyes made it seem as if she wanted to arrest him and send him to the police!
"Mom, this is the chicken mushroom I picked up last night."
"I also took my wife to the Reed Lake to pick the lotus seeds."
Qin Ping finally felt relieved.
"You should have said so earlier."
"Lanlan can eat all these things."
"But the best way to make chicken soup with chicken mushrooms is to take two pieces of bacon and ask the Luo family next door to exchange them for a chicken."
Qin Ping began to get busy, preparing to knead the dough and make pancakes.
Mother and son cooked together.
Wei Yanzhen started to process the lotus seeds. Then, he scooped a large amount of rice, put it into the pot together with the lotus seeds, and slowly poured in clean water.
On the burning stove, the flames licked the bottom of the pot happily.
The water in the pot gradually heated up and began to bubble. As time went by, the lotus seeds became soft and glutinous, and the rice released a rich rice aroma.
When Deng Zhilan got up, she saw Wei's father, Wei Xiaotian, sitting in the main room, reading a book.
"Lanlan, good morning."
Deng Zhilan smiled and nodded, "Good morning, Dad."
䀴My sister-in-law Wei Jinyue had dazed eyes and looked like she had not woken up yet.
"Sister-in-law, are you awake?"
"Mom and my brother are cooking in the kitchen. They told you to wash up after you wake up. Drink lotus seed porridge today and you'll be well soon."
Deng Zhilan took a towel and went to the well to wash her face.
You should know that this well was re-dug after the Wei family moved in. The well water was icy cold. Deng Zhilan washed her face and became completely awake.
Soon, lotus seed porridge was served.
Deng Zhilan sat at the table drinking porridge. It was really amazing that this man was very good at making porridge.
The lotus seed porridge is very sticky. Just scoop a spoonful and put it into your mouth. It is delicate, soft and sweet. The taste spreads instantly on the tip of your tongue, warming your body and mind, and perfectly starts a wonderful day for Deng Zhilan.
Wei Yanzhen, however, didn't care about chewing slowly. He finished the lotus seed porridge in just a few mouthfuls, then took a piece of bacon and went to the Luo family next door.
At this moment, Mrs. Luo was feeding the chickens.
The Luo family's area is much larger than the Wei family's. There is also a vegetable garden in the yard, where they grow some vegetables, such as beans and cucumbers. They climb on the racks and grow tall, looking very vibrant.
"Aunt Luo, I live next door to your house."
"Look at your chicken, can you exchange one with me?"
Old Mrs. Luo put down the food bowl in her hand, raised her head, looked Wei Yanzhen up and down, her eyes fell on the bacon in his hand, and her eyes lit up.
"Oh, the bacon looks good. It's no problem to exchange it for a chicken, but my chickens are all raised on grain, so you have to give them enough bacon."
Wei Yanzhen smiled and handed the whole piece of bacon to her: "Auntie Luo, take a look at this meat. If you think it's good, I'll take the chicken away."
Mrs. Luo took the bacon, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, pick one for yourself."
Wei Yanzhen walked into the flock of chickens, picked out a fat hen and grabbed it.
Old Mrs. Luo advised, "I heard that your wife is pregnant. Go back to Dong and make some soup for her. The soup made from this chicken is really delicious."
Wei Yanzhen chatted with her casually for a while.
The voice reached Song Yitao's ears. She lived in the Luo family's firewood room, next to which was the chicken coop.
Knowing that Wei Yanzhen had exchanged bacon for chicken to make chicken soup for Deng Zhilan, Song Yitao could no longer hold back and jumped out of bed.
