Du Heng picked up a piece of bone with evenly distributed flesh and bones, put it in a wooden bowl and came to the yard. He called out to Da Huang: "Da Huang, come here, eat the bone."
Da Huang had been circling at the kitchen door for a long time, and jumped up and down when he heard Du Heng's call. Du Heng put the wooden bowl on the ground and stepped back, and Da Huang came over and started chewing the bone, completely ignoring the fact that the bone was still hot.
After Du Heng finished feeding Da Huang, the water in the pot was boiling. He pushed the wontons on the chopping board into the pot, and gently pushed them with a strainer to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
There is a formation in the kitchen, so you can't see the smoky and foggy scene. In fact, when you go to the kitchen, unless you are very close to the stove, you can't smell what is cooking in the pot.
However, the smell around Xuan Yu's house was too strong, the aroma of bone soup and wontons intertwined. Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stand in the yard from the living room, and then ran from the yard to the kitchen.
Under Xiaoxiao's anxious and expectant eyes, Du Heng finally opened the lid of the pot. The plump wontons were bulging in the bone soup, floating on the water like gold ingots.
Du Heng took out a large bowl and shouted to the living room, "The wontons are ready. Do you want soup or mixed wontons?"
Jing Nan asked, "What is soup wonton like? What is mixed wonton like?" Du Heng said, "Soup wonton has soup in it, and I will add some seasonings to it. Mixed wonton means taking the wonton out without adding soup, but also adding some seasonings."
Jing Nan thought for a moment: "Did I eat wonton soup last time?" Du Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, but last time I just added bone broth without any additional seasoning." Jing Nan said: "Adults don't make choices, I want both. Let's have a bowl of wonton soup first."
Xuan Yu also nodded: "I'm the same as Jing Nan." Du Heng looked at Lao Dao: "What about you, Lao Dao? Do you want to eat the soup first or the mixed dish first?" Lao Dao said embarrassedly: "Both... both are fine." He laughed and chirped to express his meaning. Du Heng had already read the answer from his eyes - he wanted both!
Du Heng thought for a while and said: "Then let's eat the wonton soup first." He took out an enamel jar from his storage bag, opened the lid, and there was half golden oil in the jar.
This meat oil is the chicken fat of Brahma chicken. After being dissolved in bone broth, the chicken fat will turn into beautiful golden circles floating on the soup. Du Heng picked up a chopstick of chicken fat from each bowl with chopsticks, and then scooped a little bone broth to dissolve the chicken fat.
Du Heng stirred the bottom of the bowl a few times, then added wontons to the bowl. After filling half the bowl with wontons, he added a spoonful of bone soup to the bowl. Finally, he sprinkled the shredded spiritual plants on the bone soup.
Hun Yidao looked at the wontons in his hand. There were more than 20 wontons in the big bowl. Each wonton was half the size of a palm. There was a bulging ball of meat inside, and the wonton skin was as light as a gauze skirt. The wontons were soaked in bone soup, with golden chicken fat and green spiritual plants floating on them, and white hot steam floating in the bowl. It seemed that every Hun Yidao was shouting: "Come and eat me!!"
Hun Yidao took a deep breath of hot air, and a fresh and fragrant smell rushed straight into his nostrils. It can be asserted that this is the most delicious smell of food he has ever smelled in his life! This is not the final blow. The best thing is that Du Heng took out a can of chili oil from the storage bag. After opening the lid of the chili oil, a stimulating aroma attracted Hun Yidao to look over: "Is this Sansho?"
Du Heng handed over the chili oil with a smile: "I made this chili oil myself, I wonder if anyone would like to eat it. I'll put it on the table first, if you need chili oil, add it yourself." Du Heng is a vinegar person, he can eat wontons without anything else but must have vinegar.
Of course, you can also dip it in soy sauce. Du Heng put several condiments on the table in a few minutes, and you can take whatever you want.
Hun Yidao took a wonton and took a bite. His eyes were slightly red after just one bite. The soft and smooth wonton skin slid across the tip of his tongue, like a lover's lingering kiss. The focus of the wonton skin was the piece of meat in his mouth. When his teeth bit through the most precious part of the wonton, a rich soup burst out and flowed through his mouth and tongue, and a warm but overbearing fresh taste bloomed in his mouth.
Chewing it, the bamboo shoots were crispy, with a little sweetness and a hint of freshness. The mountain meat had no fishy smell, and one could only feel the freshness and juiciness of the meat. It was so delicious that I almost swallowed it! This is the taste of happiness! Hun Yidao felt that the wonton had not stayed in his mouth long enough before he could not wait to swallow it into his stomach.
He hoped that the wonton could stay in his mouth for a while longer, but his stomach was clamoring, they also wanted to taste the delicious wonton! Hun Yidao couldn't help but eat the second one, and the third one.
It was not until Xuan Yu reminded him, "Eat slowly," that Hun Yidao realized how anxious he looked. His face turned red and he said, "Excuse me."
Xuan Yu shook his head: "That's not what I meant." At this moment, Hun Yidao suddenly felt that the food he had eaten had turned into a torrent of spiritual energy pouring out of his stomach. It felt like he had swallowed a top-quality elixir! Hun Yidao was a little confused, and he paused: "This..."
Du Heng was confused: "What's wrong? Not to your liking?" Hun Yidao waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, it's delicious." He had only eaten three wontons, but he actually felt satisfied. His body hadn't felt satisfied for a long time.
Jing Nan said with a smile: "Eat slowly, Xuan Yu and I can eat three big bowls, you should at least eat one bowl." Hun Yidao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes." He was going to start chewing slowly!
Hun Yidao began to try eating it with chili peppers, vinegar, and soy sauce, and then he finally found the taste that suited him. He mixed the chili peppers, soy sauce, and vinegar together and made a bowl of red...
Du Heng picked up the wonton dipped in vinegar and said: "It turns out that Lao Dao has a strong taste."
While Xuan Yu and the others were still tasting the food, Xiao Xiao had already finished the first bowl of wontons in no time. He chirped at Du Heng, saying that he wanted to eat mixed wontons!
The way to eat mixed wontons is actually no different from soup wontons. Du Heng still added chicken oil, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce to the bowl, and he also added a little chili. Then he stirred it with chopsticks and sprinkled it with broken spiritual plants.
Xiaoxiao shouted happily as he looked at the wontons in the bowl that looked like they were dyed. The colorful wontons were beautiful and delicious. He lowered his head and pecked at one, and the soup flowed down the corners of his mouth onto his belly.
Hun Yidao didn't get to eat the mixed wontons after all. He felt so full before he could even finish a bowl of wonton soup. Xiaoxiao helped him eat the last three wontons and most of the wonton soup.
Xuan Yu and Jing Nan were not able to eat today either, and they only ate two bowls before stopping. This was much less than Du Heng had expected. Du Heng had originally planned to cook three pots of wontons, but ended up only cooking one pot.
Xiaoxiao still wanted to eat, but Du Heng felt that the little guy couldn't eat any more, so he only gave him two bowls.
There are quite a lot of wontons left, and Du Heng plans to either boil or make them into pan-fried wontons tomorrow morning.
After dinner, Hun Yidao wanted to take his dog back over the mountains. Du Heng was worried about his safety. He even wanted to invite Hun Yidao to live in the village and go back tomorrow. But Hun Yidao repeatedly assured Du Heng that he was familiar with the mountains around the village and that no wild animals would hurt him. Du Heng had no choice but to give up.
Du Heng used the Yinmu Talisman to make a food box. He picked up dozens of wontons and put them in the food box and handed it to Hun Yidao: "It's cold outside now, the wontons can be stored. When you go back, you can cook them or fry them. Don't be disgusted."
Hun Yidao didn't know what to say as he was holding the food box. He could only express his gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Du. If there are any wild animals in the mountains, I will bring them to you." Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I'm a little short of spiritual stones..." The old knifeman showed his residual image and said, "How can I take your spiritual stones? They are just a few wild animals. If you like them, I will help you keep an eye out for them."
Before Du Heng appeared, the people in the village looked down upon the likes of mountain fry.
Xuan Yu said, "Lao Dao, there has been some unrest around the village recently, please be more careful." Lao Dao nodded innocently, "Yes, Mr. Xuan, Doctor Jing, Mr. Du, Xiao Fengjun, I will go back first."
Lao Dao, holding a food box in one hand and a lantern in the other, gradually disappeared in the direction of the West Mountain. Da Huang walked in front of him, and from time to time, one or two dog barks could be heard.
I don’t know if Du Heng was overthinking it, but ever since he saw Hun Yidao, he felt that there was an extra guardian around the village, and he felt at ease.
Xiaoxiao only ate two bowls of wontons today, and he was humming and walking around the stove.
Du Heng picked him up and promised: "I will make you something better tomorrow. If you eat too much late at night, you will easily get indigestion. Look, Xuan Yu and Jing Nan only ate two bowls. You can't eat any more." Xiaoxiao thought about it and could only accept the reality helplessly.
Jing Nan leaned against the kitchen door and looked at the night sky: "Speaking of which, Feng Gui should be back soon." Xuan Yu responded: "Yeah."
Jing Nan said, "In previous years, the four of us stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year. This year, with the addition of Du Heng, it should be much more lively. I can stay up all night at your house this year." Xuan Yu: "Yes."
This response was full of pride.
Du Heng was very sharp in hearing the word "New Year". "Hey? Does the demon world also have New Year? Do they celebrate New Year like ordinary people?"
Jing Nan turned around casually: "Yes, of course. It's just an excuse to get together and chat. It's not as lively as ordinary people. When I went to the west of Dongji Mountain before, I saw ordinary people in those towns celebrating the New Year. It was very lively."
Xuan Yu said, "Practicing is against the will of heaven. Once you enter a state of meditation, time will pass. If you celebrate every year like ordinary people, it will be meaningless." Jing Nan said, "Yes, that's why we used to stay in Feng Gui's palace during the New Year, drinking tea and chatting, and time passed by."
Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao and thought: "Then this year I should prepare a New Year according to the standards of ordinary people, can it be feasible?" Xiaoxiao chirped and Jing Nan translated: "Xiaoxiao, do ordinary people have a lot of delicious food during the New Year?"
Du Heng rubbed Xiaoxiao's head and said earnestly: "Yes, I will prepare New Year's things starting tomorrow." Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes with contentment.
