Chapter 244 Spicy Chicken Hot Pot



After getting dressed, getting off the kang, putting on her shoes, and washing herself with water from the thermos in the room, Tong Yiya left the house.

Since she didn't see the father and son in the yard, she guessed that they must have gone next door to make breakfast, so she went next door as well.

In the next yard, Yuanyuan was being held by Mr. Zhang in the morning sun. When she saw Tong Yiya coming over, Yuanyuan shouted, "Ma...Ma!"

"Oh, our Yuanyuan has already started calling her mom," Mr. Zhang said happily after hearing this.

When he looked up and saw that it was Tong Yiya coming over, he smiled and said, "I was wondering why this child was calling mom, it turns out it's you who came over."

"Well, Master, let me hold her. Yuanyuan has grown a lot fatter now, and it's tiring to hold her," Tong Yiya said as she walked over and took Yuanyuan from his arms.

"It's better for children to be a little fatter so that they can be healthy. It's a good thing that you and your wife know how to raise children. There's no other child in the village who is as cute as our Yuanyuan," said Mr. Zhang with a smile.

"We just feed them ordinary food, and the children grow fat because they eat well," said Tong Yiya.

"Yes, yes, yes," Mr. Zhang responded.

"Master, you continue to bask in the sun. I'll take Yuanyuan to the kitchen to see if Shi Nian and the others have prepared breakfast," Tong Yiya said.

"Okay, go ahead."

Tong Yiya carried Yuanyuan into the kitchen and saw Fu Shinian just scooping the fried egg sauce out of the pot. He turned around and saw her coming in, so he said, "You're up, just in time. I just made breakfast."

Tong Yiya glanced at him and said nothing. She carried the child to the table and sat down before replying, "Then go and call Mr. Zhang to come in for dinner."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Fu Shinian also knew that he had made his wife angry last night, so he immediately obeyed and went to call for help.

After they had breakfast, the three of them left Yuanyuan at home to accompany Mr. Zhang and went up the mountain with their tools.

The three of them walked directly to a deeper place until they found traces of small animals' activities, then they set a few simple snares around them.

After setting the trap, the three of them moved to a nearby place and picked up some dry firewood. Tong Yiya looked around to see if there were any herbs and wild vegetables that could be collected, preparing to bring some back and eat in the evening.

Until a sound came from the trap, Fu Shinian put down the firewood in his hand, looked at guard Dong, and then went to Tong Yiya and whispered: "Something should be caught over there. The guard and I will go to take a look. Find a place to stay and we will come to find you later."

"Okay, go ahead. I have some wild vegetables here. I'll get them here and wait for you. Just be careful," Tong Yiya looked up and replied.

"good"

After talking to Tong Yiya, he and Guard Dong went to the trap. When they got closer, they found that what they had caught was a robe. At this time, the robe was caught by the knot at the feet and had been brought to the ground.

When the silly man in robe saw them coming, he stopped moving.

After the two men tied up their robes, they checked the other traps and harvested a pheasant and two rabbits. They took back all the snares and returned to Tong Yiya.

Seeing the two people coming back with prey, Tong Yiya said happily: "What a good harvest, let's process this robe and make it into jerky when we get back, and bring it to sell when you go to trade next time. We will have pheasant hotpot tonight, and I happened to have a lot of wild vegetables today."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go down the mountain, otherwise we'll be seen by people leaving work if it's too late," said Fu Shinian.

"Okay, let's bundle up the firewood and go down the mountain." They went up the mountain today to hunt, and now that they have caught something, they won't stay in the mountain for long.

The three of them packed up and took their things down the mountain, carefully avoiding pedestrians along the way. After returning home, Tong Yiya picked up all the wild vegetables first, while Dong Weibing and Fu Shinian picked up the prey.

Mr. Zhang took Yuanyuan to take a nap in the house. When they woke up, Tong Yiya and the others had almost finished cleaning up.

After marinating the pork loin and two rabbits and hanging them on the beam above the stove, Tong Yiya began to chop the chicken and make soup.

She was planning to eat spicy chicken hotpot in the evening, but thinking of the elderly and children at home, she decided to stew a pot of clear soup first, and then scoop out the meat and half of the soup and add chili peppers at the end.

Fu Shinian was helping to light the fire. It was not easy to light a fire in this weather. Just sitting by the stove would make him sweat all over.

But he didn't complain at all. He just sat there quietly helping to light the fire. When he saw that she was about to chop both chicken legs, he said, "Leave one for Yuanyuan to chop and cook into paste, and eat the other for yourself."

"Then just leave one for Yuanyuan. I'm an adult now, so I don't need it," Tong Yiya said after a pause.

"You should eat. You have to do housework and take care of the children at home during this period. It is very hard. You should eat well," Fu Shinian insisted.

In the end, two chicken legs were left. One was kept raw and would be chopped up to make paste for Yuanyuan after stewing the chicken later, and the other was directly thrown into the pot and stewed.

After stewing the chicken, Tong Yiya went to the pharmacy to get some cardamom and put it in the pot to stew together. This way the chicken soup will have a bit of the aroma of medicinal herbs, which will taste better and can also suppress the fishy smell of chicken.

After stewing the chicken, she cut some other ingredients, then washed the chopping board, removed the meat from Yuanyuan's chicken leg, chopped it up and put it aside, thinking that she would cook it for Yuanyuan when he woke up.

After the chicken was cooked, she changed the pot, took out the chicken, added chili and other ingredients and stir-fried it. After draining the water, she put a circle of corn tortillas on the edge of the pot.

In the evening, the small clay stove in the kitchen was taken out and used. The family sat around the clay stove, eating spicy chicken hotpot, and the staple food was corn pancakes.

Although everyone was sweating, they all thought the hotpot was delicious.

Eating hot pot from time to time in the summer can help you sweat and detoxify. Taking a shower after eating can make you feel more comfortable when you go to sleep.

It was almost eight o'clock when they finished their meal. Fortunately, it was summer and it got dark late outside.

After the meal, they cleaned up the mess and went to wash up.

It was almost ten o'clock when Tong Yiya and her family of three returned to the house after washing up. Yuanyuan fell asleep soon after lying on the kang.

"The child is tired from playing all day, so he goes to sleep as soon as he gets on the kang," Tong Yiya said as she helped him take off his outer clothes.

"That's good. He goes to bed early, so you can rest earlier too," Fu Shinian said.

"Yeah, you should go to bed early too, you still have to go to work tomorrow," Tong Yiya said

"Now that we have bicycles, we can sleep an extra half an hour," said Fu Shinian.

"Is that so? Then you should go to bed early and get more rest." Tong Yiya knew what this man was thinking, but thinking that he would lose control once he got angry, she refused.

Seeing that his wife was not going along, Fu Shinian had no choice but to hold her in his arms and go to sleep.
