Although both of them liked the spicy chicken very much, they did not ignore the other dishes. When they were eating the stir-fried vegetables, Dong Weibing asked with a bitter face: "Tong Zhiqing, did you put the wrong ingredients in this dish? Why is it so bitter?"
"This is a green vegetable, and it tastes a bit bitter. I was worried that you would get a sore throat after eating too many chilies today, so I fried it specially to reduce the heat. You will get used to it if you eat a few more bites," Tiantian said, and she took a bite and put it in her mouth, then ate it with an expressionless face.
When Guard Dong heard that it was good for them, he took another bite with his chopsticks. Unexpectedly, the more he ate, the more delicious it tasted.
The three of them had another hearty meal, but the overbearing aroma of the spicy chicken made the stomachs of the villagers closer to them swell with greed.
Many villagers also looked in their direction, but since they were all unfamiliar with them, no one dared to come up and eat for free.
After Tong Yiya and the other two finished their meal, there was some chili oil left over from the fried chicken. She only brought out half of it, so there was still a bowl of it at home. She could eat it in the evening, or save it for cooking noodles the next morning and heat up the remaining spicy chicken and mix it into the noodles, which would also be very delicious.
She put away the dishes and went home. When she got home, she washed the dishes and rested for a while. In the afternoon, she went out to get some wild celery and some shepherd's purse.
After returning home, she didn't rush to cook dinner. She looked through the medicinal herbs that were drying in the sun, and then went to the pharmacy to pick out some herbs for stewing chicken. She also took two slices of century-old ginseng to stew together.
This was a good way to nourish the two of them. She didn't use a big pot to stew, but used her own clay pot and burned some charcoal on a small stove.
Chop the chicken into pieces, blanch it and wash it. Prepare all the other ingredients, put them in a casserole, and simmer on low heat for an hour and a half. When it's done, the two men will be back from work.
After the chicken soup was stewing, she left the kitchen, went into the house to get the clothes that needed mending, and sat under the eaves to mend them.
After mending the torn clothes and taking them back to the house, more than forty minutes passed. Then she went into the house to add some charcoal to the small stove and started to prepare the dishes for dinner.
In the evening, she planned to stir-fry wild celery and have some cold-mixed shepherd's purse. Seeing that the dishes were a bit small, she thought of adding some stir-fried green beans with bacon.
She first cooked the rice soup and steamed the buns for dinner before starting to prepare other dishes.
First, I went to the vegetable garden to pick some tender green beans, removed the fibers and cut them into four or five centimeter long segments. Later, I cut some bacon and stir-fried them to add some flavor.
Then clean the shepherd's purse, wash it, blanch it in boiling water, add the seasonings and mix it cold, then serve.
Finally, stir-frying celery is even simpler. You just need to add animal oil. These vegetables consume a lot of oil. If other people stir-fry them, they have to add a little water to cook them. But Tong Yiya does not save that little oil, and Fu Shinian and the others also said that more oil and water should be used when cooking.
None of the three of them were the kind of people who were reluctant to eat, so she could be more relaxed when cooking.
After preparing all the dishes, she set the table in the yard, took all the dishes out and put them on the table, and then took out the chicken soup and casserole together.
She was afraid that the bottom of the pot would burn the table, so she first put a pot mat she had made with corn leaves on it, and then placed the casserole on the mat.
I went back to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks for the three of them, as well as a spoon for the soup. When I went out and set the table, I saw Fu Shinian and the others coming back.
Tong Yiya saw that the person had returned and said, "You're back. Wash your hands and have dinner first. I used some herbs tonight and stewed the remaining half chicken into soup. You can drink more later. It will nourish your body."
"It's time to cook the soup. No wonder I smelled the fragrance outside the yard. I'm going to drink two more bowls later," said Guard Dong.
"I made a big pot of stew, you can drink as much as you want," Tong Yiya replied with a smile.
As he said this, he walked into the kitchen, intending to take advantage of the time they were washing their hands to clean the cooking pot, and use the unburned charcoal fire to boil some hot water for washing the dishes.
When she finished and came out of the kitchen, they had already washed their hands and sat at the table. After she came over and sat down, Fu Shinian picked up the bowl and scooped her a bowl of chicken soup with a chicken thigh in it.
Tong Yiya took it and thanked him. After the two of them had the chicken soup in their hands, the three of them began to drink the soup.
The chicken soup tasted very delicious. Guard Dong took a sip and said, "Tong Zhiqing, your soup is so good. Not only is there no impurities, but it also doesn't feel greasy. It has only the delicious taste of the chicken and a little bit of the taste of the medicinal herbs."
"I don't know how to make it either. I learned it bit by bit. If you like it, next time you want to make a soup, just give me a bowl and I'll make it for you," Tong Yiya replied with a smile.
"Then let's make a deal. When I sell some good ingredients, I'll ask you to help me stew them," Guard Dong said immediately.
Tong Yiya nodded and said "OK"
Each of the three drank a bowl of chicken soup first before starting to eat the steamed buns and vegetables. They were very satisfied with the dinner, but in order to drink an extra bowl of chicken soup, they did not eat as much as usual.
Finally, Tong Yiya said that this tonic should be taken slowly. Drinking too much at one time may lead to over-toning.
In the end, all the other dishes were finished, leaving only a small half pot of chicken soup. After Fu Shinian and Dong Weibing cleaned the bowls and chopsticks, they returned to their yard.
After they went back, Tong Yiya closed the door and went into the house, then entered the space to start a day of study.
Dong Weibing didn't believe what Tong Yiya said about the soup being very nutritious. He thought she was just comforting him with words. It wasn't until he came out of the shower that he saw two bright red spots under his nose. While wiping his nose, he said to Fu Shinian, "Tong Zhiqing's soup is too nutritious. Fortunately, she stopped me in the end, otherwise I would be bleeding like a river now."
Fu Shinian looked at his funny appearance and said with a smile: "I told you to just eat and not listen to my advice. Is this serious? If it doesn't work, I'll ask Tong Zhiqing to get you some heat-clearing medicine. You can cook some and eat it."
"I'm fine, please don't bother Tong Zhiqing," Guard Dong quickly refused.
He didn't want Tong Zhiqing to know how embarrassing he was, and he didn't think it was that serious. It was just a little nosebleed, and it was nothing now.
"Okay, then I'll go wash up and rest. You should also go to bed early, as we still have to continue the summer harvest tomorrow." Seeing that he really didn't need it, Fu Shinian stood up and went to fetch water to wash up.
In fact, Fu Shinian also felt a little uncomfortable at night, but he didn't think it was a big problem, so he didn't say anything.
I lay on the kang at night, tossing and turning for a long time before I felt sleepy, and then I slept until dawn.
When Tong Yiya came out of the space, it was already twelve o'clock in the night. She covered herself with a thin quilt and fell asleep in a short while.
