Chapter 364 Big Plate Chicken
After staying in the clinic for a while and seeing that there were not many people around, Zhou Ziwen wandered away.
He found that these aunts and grandmas also had a regular schedule when coming to the clinic.
Generally speaking, he usually comes in the morning, and I don’t know if it’s because of him.
It’s not that he is narcissistic. After his observation, he found that these aunts and grandmas really like chatting with him.
Of course, most of the time it was the aunts and grandmas who were talking and Zhou Ziwen was listening.
After all, he can't compare to these aunties and grandmas when it comes to village gossip.
After strolling back home, Zhou Ziwen continued to build the rabbit pen.
The floor of the rabbit pen has been paved with stone slabs, and the walls are also made of stones. All that remains is the wind roof.
He was too lazy to use thatch, so he simply used stones, connecting them in a concave and convex manner. Not only would it not leak, but it was also strong and durable.
By the time he finished building the rabbit pen, it was getting dark outside.
After staying outside for so long, Zhou Ziwen's raincoat was soaked with snow, and his hat was also covered with a layer of snow.
"Brother Ziwen, I made some ginger soup. Drink some quickly to avoid catching a cold."
As soon as I returned to the house, Chen Qiaoyi brought me a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup.
"Haha, sister, thank you." Zhou Ziwen smiled, took the ginger soup and drank it all in one breath.
In fact, given his physical condition, he doesn't need to keep warm.
But this is the intention of the two sisters, he can't let them down.
"Brother Ziwen, why do you only thank my sister and not me? I was the one who lit the fire." Chen Qiaoyi pouted and looked at him dissatisfiedly.
"Thank you, Yiyi." Zhou Ziwen didn't care.
"With our relationship, you still say thank you?" Chen Shiying suddenly spoke from the side.
Judging from her expression, she seemed a little dissatisfied with Zhou Ziwen.
"Yes, Brother Ziwen, you actually said thank you to me?" Chen Qiaoyi also widened her eyes.
"I say, that's enough, you two! Be careful or I'll keep you from getting off the bed tonight."
Looking at the two girls who were trying to hold back their laughter, Zhou Ziwen rolled his eyes.
These two girls actually started teasing him. They really deserve to be punished.
"Brother Ziwen, please stop doing this. If you continue like this, I can't stand it." Chen Qiaoyi dodged as if by reflex.
She had gone through it once yesterday afternoon and again in the evening, and she felt like she couldn't take it anymore.
"It seems that your physical fitness is still a little lacking. You need to practice the Five Animal Frolics quickly!" Zhou Ziwen looked at the two sisters and decided to supervise their practice in the future.
"Ah, are we going to practice the Five Animal Frolics again?" Chen Qiaoyi's face twisted into a ball when she heard about exercising.
She doesn't like exercising at all.
"It's okay not to exercise. I'll help you in the evening." Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows.
As for exercise, the Five Animal Exercises are exercise, and exercising on the kang is also exercise, both of which can have a training effect.
Even with his help, the effect should be better.
"No." Chen Qiaoyi shook her head repeatedly, "Go find my sister. She's in good health."
"Oh~" Zhou Ziwen looked up at Chen Shiying, and coincidentally, Chen Shiying was also looking at him.
In terms of physical fitness, Chen Shiying is actually better. This girl is more self-disciplined and spends more time practicing the Five Animal Exercises, basically practicing it every day.
After a period of time, my physical fitness has also improved a bit.
"Just talk if you want to. Why bring me along?" Chen Shiying rolled her eyes in annoyance.
However, she did not reject her sister's suggestion.
She has a strong physical condition and can withstand a lot.
She was also obsessed with that ecstasy feeling.
"Haha!" Seeing his sister-in-law's expression, Zhou Ziwen knew what she was thinking.
After spending such a long time together, he already knew her personality very well.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Ziwen went to the backyard to catch a chicken.
After months of hard work raising chickens, I can finally taste them today.
"Ziwen, how are you going to eat this chicken?"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen busy killing chickens, Chen Shiying asked from the side.
"Let's make some big plate chicken!" Zhou Ziwen thought for a moment, "We just have some potatoes at home."
"What is Dapanji?" Chen Shiying looked confused.
"Big plate chicken is a new dish. I'll teach you how to make it later."
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
In that era, Dapanji had not yet been invented, so Chen Shiying naturally didn’t know how to make it.
He just happened to be in a good mood today, so he decided to cook himself.
He has been in the countryside for so long, but he has never eaten big plate chicken!
I did get a few pheasants before, but the meat was too tough. It was okay to stew it, but not to roast it.
Only this kind of domestic chicken that has just reached adulthood is the most suitable material for making big plate chicken.
In the evening, Zhou Ziwen did it himself, Chen Shiying helped him, and Chen Qiaoyi lit the fire in front of the stove door.
The three of them worked together and the aroma of the big plate chicken soon came out.
"It smells so good, Brother Ziwen, when will it be ready? Let me taste it." Chen Qiaoyi, who was sitting at the stove door, couldn't stand the smell and wanted to eat it greedily.
"Don't be anxious, just wait a while." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
We have just started cooking, the meat in the pot is not cooked yet!
Soon, the aroma from the kitchen wafted out, and Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang next door smelled it.
"Zhao Di, what delicious food do you think Brother Zhou and the others are making? It smells so good." Zhou Chaoyang couldn't help swallowing.
"It should be chicken, but I don't know how it's cooked." Shen Zhaodi licked her lips greedily.
"What else?" Zhou Chaoyang raised his eyebrows.
"Isn't this bad?" Shen Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, but stood up from the stool.
"There's nothing wrong with it. The braised pork at home is almost ready, right? Let's bring it over and let Brother Zhou have a try." Zhou Chaoyang advised.
"Haha, why don't you hurry up?" Shen Zhaodi urged.
"Hehe, let's go." Zhou Chaoyang also stood up happily.
The two looked at each other, and a hint of cunning flashed in their eyes.
Soon, there were two drooling guys in Zhou Ziwen’s kitchen.
But when he saw the two people bringing a bowl of braised pork, Zhou Ziwen didn't care anymore.
Although these two guys came to eat for free, it was not in vain.
Let’s give them a discount today and let them taste the flavor of big plate chicken.
Speaking of Dapanji, there is actually an interesting story behind it.
Legend has it that Zuo Zongtang of the Qing Dynasty won a battle in Xinjiang and used local chickens and chili peppers to make a delicacy to reward his troops. This is the predecessor of Dapanji.
There is also a saying that Dapanji is an appetizer for long-distance drivers.
In the old days, drivers traveling from WLMQ to Ili, Tacheng, Altay, and other places had to pass through Shawan. Due to poor road conditions, the drive from WLMQ to Shawan took half a day, and most drivers were already hungry. Consequently, numerous small restaurants catering to passing drivers sprang up along the roadsides of SW County. One such restaurant, a Sichuanese chef, stir-fried chicken with appetizing dried and green chilies, then served it with potatoes and wide noodles. The dish became incredibly popular, and later evolved into Dapanji (Big Plate Chicken).
