Chapter 7 Is it better to soak in wine or eat meat?
The fresh fragrance, in addition to the aroma of old hen meat, also includes the mixed aroma of small mushrooms, big-foot mushrooms, and black truffles, which is almost enough to make you want to bite your tongue off!
I haven't eaten anything this delicious in years.
It is indeed a potential smart chicken.
In big cities, you may spend hundreds, no, thousands, and still not be able to enjoy this kind of meal.
Especially the black truffle in it. If we use just this pot and sell it to Michelin, we will have to make 20 to 30 portions.
Moreover, are the so-called “free-range chickens” sold in restaurants in big cities real free-range chickens?
The old hens in Li Xiang's family are raised on insects, vegetables, and grains, and have never eaten a penny of feed. They often fly around on roofs and trees and run around on hillsides. Their breed is a pure local mountain black-bone chicken.
There are mainly two kinds of chickens in Li Xiang's family, one is the green-footed twisted chicken, and the other is this mountain black-bone chicken. Both are common local breeds with firm and tender meat and high nutritional value.
To welcome her eldest grandson, grandma killed the relatively precious black-bone chicken.
"Grandma, please eat more, it's so delicious!"
Grandma also smiled and said: "It smells so good, my grandson's cooking skills are really good!"
"Grandma, you eat the chicken legs."
When he was a child, chicken legs were exclusively for Li Xiang. Today, he gave both chicken legs to his grandmother.
But grandma gave it back and said that he was growing and needed to eat more.
Li Xiang: “…” I’m only 1.8 meters tall, and I still need to grow?
I glanced down and saw that, hmm, I seemed to be a little thinner than myself who had trained during the apocalypse in my previous life.
After dinner, I played a game of PUBG in the courtyard. I easily defeated other players and achieved a good record of killing 38 people in one game.
He thought that it would be nice to do a game live broadcast when he had time, which would require a lot of technical skills.
"Grandma, I'll go, I'll go!"
Seeing his grandmother carrying a bucket and about to go out to fetch water, Li Xiang naturally jumped up to stop her.
Some families in the village have installed running water, but Grandma Li Xiang is reluctant to do so, so she still follows the old tradition of fetching water from the creek.
Li Xiang went out carrying two large buckets.
The stream was gurgling and clear. Li Xiang fetched two buckets of water. As he walked back, he thought to himself that the water was good, but it was laborious to carry water back and forth. He thought that his grandmother, who was over 70 years old, had to carry water. It was too hard. So he thought, let's install a tap.
But then I thought, it’s not necessary.
First, tap water contains disinfectants and the water quality is far less sweet than mountain stream water.
Second, since I'm back, why should my grandma work so hard? No need at all! I go back and forth twice a day, and four large buckets of water a day should be enough. If not, I can go more often. Just treat it as exercise. This is what the monks in Shaolin Temple do.
"Hmph~"
Li Xiang carried four large buckets of water and filled the water tank at home, breathing heavily. With his current physical condition, it was still a bit strenuous to do this work.
A large bucket of water is estimated to weigh 30 kilograms, and one trip weighs 60 kilograms. The main reason is that the mountain road is difficult to walk on, with some ups and downs and is quite rugged.
After practicing some slow physical skills and breathing techniques for a while, he finally returned to normal.
"Grandma, I'm going to visit my grandparents and go to the county town at the same time." Li Xiang put the gifts he had prepared earlier on the car, and went out on his three-wheeled motorcycle.
The big yellow dogs were chasing after him. Li Xiang asked them to go back, but the two loyal dogs were unwilling to do so and kept chasing him all the way to the village entrance. Only then did they turn back after being scolded by Li Xiang.
Li Xiang cursed: "You two bastards, grandma is home alone, why are you following me instead of going back to look after the house?"
The two dogs were very smart and they ran back barking.
Li Xiang's grandparents' house is more than ten miles away from his home. It was really inconvenient before without a car, but now with a three-wheeled motorcycle, I can go there whenever I want.
Naturally, grandparents were very happy about Li Xiang's arrival. Several aunts, uncles, and aunts had all gone out to work, leaving only two old people at home, and the children had not returned from school yet.
My grandparents support each other. My grandparents are younger than my grandmother, and they have grandchildren to keep them company, so they live a pretty good life.
The two old people originally wanted to keep Li Xiang for dinner, but Li Xiang said that he had something else to do in the county town, so the two old people did not try to keep him.
Grandpa took out a bag of chestnuts from the house and said they were picked from the mountain a few days ago. They were all peeled and asked Li Xiang to take them back to eat.
There were also some on the mountain where Li Xiang lived. I didn't want it at first, but my grandfather stuffed it in the car. It was a little gift from the old man, and I couldn't refuse it, so I had to accept it.
"Xiang'er, come often in the future!" The old couple accompanied Li Xiang all the way to the village entrance, and then went back reluctantly.
Li Xiang went to the county town to get his driver's license issued, went to the telecommunications business hall to get a local card, and made an appointment for broadband installation service.
300M, the annual cost is 816 yuan.
The lady in the business hall said that a technician would come to the house the day after tomorrow.
When Li Xiang came back, he found the backyard in chaos. Two big yellow dogs kept barking, and his grandmother was so scared that she hid behind the door and didn't dare to get close.
Li Xiang took a look through the crack in the door and saw a red-bellied snake that was more than one meter long and as thick as a child's arm, with dazzling red spots all over its body. It was holding its triangular head high, shaking it from side to side, and spitting out its tongue.
"Don't be afraid, grandma. This snake is not poisonous. I'm going to kill it!"
Li Xiang picked up the stick, dodged out, and closed the back door to prevent the snake from breaking in and scaring his grandmother.
This fire snake is very aggressive. When threatened, its head often shrinks into a triangle. Its body color is bright, so it is often mistaken for a venomous snake. In fact, it has no fangs, so it is not poisonous to humans, although its oral secretions may have a certain effect on the human body.
Studies have shown that after the dissection of the red-bellied snake, venom glands (Daberius glands) were found under the skin of the upper lip scales.
However, the Compendium of Materia Medica records: "The red and black joints of the neem tree are similar to the neem tree and mulberry root, but it is not very poisonous."
Simply put, it is a paper tiger. It looks ferocious, but it is not very poisonous and can be easily controlled.
Li Xiang approached slowly, and swung the stick suddenly, whistling like wind. The stick was as fast as lightning, and in an instant, the red-chain snake was broken at its vital point!
He had survived a sea of fire and corpses in his previous life, and although he had not developed extraordinary energy after his rebirth, his fighting skills were still first-rate in the world today. His moves were all refined from actual combat, not performance routines, but pure killing skills.
The two yellow dogs barked even louder, as if cheering for their owner.
The old tabby cat meowed twice on the roof, as if to say, if I wasn’t pregnant, I would go down and take care of it!
The system promptly popped up a message: "Congratulations to the host, you have killed the second-level alien beast Black Cloud Red Snake and received a surprise reward: three first-level mutant purple gold giant matsutake mushrooms."
"The reward has been issued to the system warehouse, please check it carefully."
With a "ding~" sound, which only Li Xiang could hear, when his mind came to the system warehouse, he saw three giant purple-gold matsutake mushrooms as big as bowls.
Oh my god, is this Matsutake or Ganoderma lucidum?
But it is obvious that this is not Ganoderma lucidum, but a mutated purple gold matsutake that contains spiritual power.
"This is good stuff." Li Xiang was secretly delighted. This stuff contained rich extraordinary particles. If he ate it, maybe he could cultivate extraordinary energy and embark on the extraordinary path ahead of time.
If grandma eats it, she will definitely be in good health and live longer.
Li Xiang picked up the dead red-banded snake, which weighed about three or four kilograms. He was delighted, but also a little confused: "Such a big snake, should I use it to make wine, or eat its meat?"
