The autumn breeze is refreshing, and the drizzle is like a tapestry, adding a touch of gentleness and tenderness to the autumn landscape.
Liu Feng drove through the streets of the town and finally stopped steadily in front of a game arcade that was decorated in a modern yet cozy style.
This newly opened arcade, which has only been open for half a month, is already on the right track and operating very well.
Inside the arcade, everything was in good order, with people coming and going in a constant stream, some whispering to each other, others engrossed in their games.
My sister-in-law, Xia Guihua, always has a bright smile on her face.
Now, counting the money that comes in every day, happiness that was once out of reach is now so real and within her reach.
It's the weekend, so she bought some fresh fruit in advance, waiting for her three friends, Liu Yue, Liu Xiaoling, and Yu Jingya, to come and play after school.
At this moment, Xia Guihua was warmly greeting the three of them.
Liu Feng walked into the arcade and was delighted to see their happy faces.
He politely declined his elder brother and sister-in-law's offer to stay and took the three girls home.
This time, Yu Jingya followed along again.
On the way home, the four of them filled the entire carriage with their laughter.
When they arrived at the Liu family's door, He Qunfang, the mother, had been waiting for a long time. She was especially happy to see Yu Jingya.
Liu Feng took out large chestnuts, mushrooms, and honey.
The whole family gathered around.
Liu Feng was the first to speak, asking, "Fourth brother, what is this?"
It was the mother, He Qunfang, who had more experience, who replied, "I think this is a chestnut. How can there be such a big chestnut?"
The family looked at the delicious food and chatted excitedly.
Everyone especially loves big chestnuts, so He Qunfang simply cooked a whole pot of them.
Not long after.
On the table, a plate of perfectly cooked chestnuts became the focus of everyone's attention.
They are plump and round like eggs, with an enticing sheen and an irresistible aroma.
Liu Yue first gave a few to Yu Jingya and Liu Xiaoling, saying, "Let's all eat together!"
She gently peeled back the shell, revealing plump, golden-yellow flesh. She smiled and took a bite, the sweet flavor spreading in her mouth, and exclaimed, "These chestnuts are so delicious, so sweet and soft!"
Liu Fei couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed a chestnut, peeled off the shell, and took a bite without caring whether it was hot or not. He ended up sticking out his tongue from the heat, which made everyone laugh.
Lin Hao ate with great relish, his mouth stuffed full, and he mumbled, "It's so delicious, I want more."
"Eat slowly, there's plenty more, no one's going to take it from you."
"It smells so sweet and it tastes so good!"
As Yu Jingya peeled the chestnut, she said, "Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen such a big chestnut. I never knew chestnuts could be so delicious."
Seeing everyone's happy faces, Liu Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart.
He picked up a chestnut, put it in his mouth and savored it, the sweet taste leaving him speechless.
After eating the chestnuts, He Qunfang brought out cups of golden-yellow honey water.
The sweetness of honey and the lingering flavor of chestnuts intertwine, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
Liu Yue picked up the cup, took a small sip of honey water, and savored the rich flavor spreading across her tongue.
"This honey water is also very delicious. It's sweet and has a faint floral fragrance."
Liu Xiaoling quickly took a sip as well, her eyes sparkling.
Liu Feng handed Yu Jingya a glass of honey water and said, "You should drink some too. When you go to school, I'll prepare a bottle for each of the three of you. You can mix it with water and drink it at school."
"Yes, thank you." Yu Jingya smiled, her two dimples were very charming.
She took a small sip of the honey water; it was sweet but not cloying, and soothing to the heart.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the Liu family's courtyard.
An enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen—the smell of stewed chicken with mushrooms and various other delicious mushroom dishes.
As each dish was served, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.
The chicken stew with mushrooms uses fresh, tender chickens raised on their own farm, stewed together with shiitake mushrooms and hazel mushrooms picked by Liu Feng from the deep mountains of Qinling.
The chicken is golden in color, stewed to perfection, and tender and juicy. With a gentle bite, a rich aroma spreads in your mouth.
The mushrooms fully absorb the savory flavor of the chicken and the richness of the broth, resulting in a smooth texture and a unique aroma.
He Qunfang first picked up a piece of chicken for Yu Jingya and said with satisfaction, "This chicken is stewed so well and the mushrooms are especially delicious, with a rich and mellow flavor."
Liu Feng nodded in approval: "This dish is truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. The freshness of the mushrooms and the tenderness of the chicken are perfectly combined."
The matsutake mushrooms were then prepared as a delicate stir-fried matsutake dish.
Matsutake mushrooms are sliced thinly and stir-fried briefly in a pan, retaining their original freshness and nutrients. The matsutake slices are white in color, delicate in texture, and emit a faint fragrance.
Liu Yue picked up a piece of matsutake mushroom, put it in her mouth, and after savoring it, said, "The taste of matsutake mushroom is truly unique. It has a delicious texture and a subtle sweetness."
Liu Xiaoling couldn't wait to take a bite, and her eyes lit up: "Wow, it's really delicious, and it feels so nutritious!"
The green-headed mushroom was then made into a green-headed mushroom soup.
The soup is clear and delicious, and the green-headed mushrooms look like blooming little flowers in the soup, which is very tempting.
Lin Hao served a bowl of soup. He was the youngest and didn't know what words to use to praise the food, so he just said, "Delicious, delicious."
The porcini mushrooms were stir-fried until they smelled delicious, had a vibrant color, and a smooth, chewy texture.
Liu Yue smiled and said, "These porcini mushrooms are really well stir-fried, with a rich flavor, and they go very well with rice."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The red mushrooms were then used to make a dish called Red Mushroom Stew with Pork Ribs.
The red color of the red mushrooms complements the color of the pork ribs, making it very appetizing.
The pork ribs are stewed until tender, and the umami flavor of the red mushrooms infuses the ribs, resulting in a rich and mellow taste.
Liu Feng picked up a piece of pork rib and said, "This stewed pork rib with red mushrooms is really delicious. The flavor of the red mushrooms is very special, which makes the pork ribs even tastier."
Everyone sat around the table, enjoying the delicious mushroom dishes while sharing anecdotes from their lives.
Laughter and cheerful voices echoed in the air; what a blissful life!
