Chapter 22: Chicken with Chestnuts



At this time, everyone is still working in the fields, so they go home to make soup when there are few people around.

When you get home, put the bamboo basket in the yard first, go to the kitchen to light a fire, boil a pot and add water, then cut the white-striped chicken into pieces and put it into the pot. After the water boils, skim off the foam.

I walked to the yard and grabbed a handful of chestnuts, peeled them, and put them into the pot together with the mushrooms. After boiling, I covered the edge of the pot with a clean wet towel to prevent the smell from drifting away and making other people's children cry with envy.

Then turn to low heat and cook for about two hours before adding salt and serving.

Chicken stewed with chestnuts is delicious and nutritious. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the kidneys and improving essence.

In the evening, Guo Youxing and his wife came back. Liang Xueying saw the chestnuts and awls at the foot of the wall and the house was quiet again. She was afraid that Deng Qingling was injured while going up the mountain, so she shouted loudly.

"Ah Qing, Ah Qing, where are you?"

Suddenly a loud scream was heard, which scared Deng Qingling.

"Oh, I'm in the kitchen."

Liang Xueying walked to the kitchen and saw Deng Qingling sitting there making a fire. She quickly asked her, "Did you go up the mountain today? Did you go alone? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Yes, I saw that there was nothing else to do, so I went for a walk in the mountains. I went there alone." Deng Qingling was very touched when she saw how worried she was about herself.

"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm fine. I will take good care of myself."

"We are all family, there is no need to say these things, I just hope you are okay"

"Well, let's go eat. The food is ready and we'll be waiting for you to come back."

"I caught a pheasant today. We're going to have chicken stewed with chestnuts tonight." Deng Qingling felt a little guilty after she said this. Fortunately, after the chicken was stewed, it was impossible to tell what kind of chicken it was.

"Our Ah Qing is really capable. He can even catch a pheasant. But don't chase pheasants in the future! You are not alone now, so you have to be more careful in the future." Liang Xueying said a few more words after hearing this.

"Okay, I understand," Deng Qingling said softly, holding the bowl and chopsticks, preparing to walk into the main room.

Guo Youxing had already cleared the tables and benches.

Deng Qingling filled each bowl with chicken soup, which was less soup and more meat.

Liang Xueying saw that the bowl was almost full of chicken, so she quickly picked up several pieces and gave them to her daughter-in-law Deng Qingling and her husband Guo Youxing.

"I don't like eating chicken, I just want to drink the soup." Who doesn't like eating chicken these days? She just couldn't bear to eat it and wanted them to eat more.

"Mom, I cooked a chicken. You don't have to worry about not having enough. We can eat together." Deng Qingling saw Liang Xueying doing this and told her how much meat there was so that she could eat as much as she wanted this time.

"Let's eat together. My daughter-in-law is filial. If you don't eat, she won't eat either."

Guo Youxing persuaded his wife that she had never had a good life since she married him. Before the family separated, she had to endure the troubles of her elderly mother. After the family separated, she worked day and night. Fortunately, her children were filial to her.

Liang Xueying nodded and didn't give in anymore.

Everyone was very satisfied with the dinner. Everyone had a bowl of chicken soup, which was less soup and more meat, and everyone's mouth was full of grease.

After dinner, we sat on the stools and chatted with a comfortable and satisfied look on our faces.

"It smells so good! It would be so nice if they were all at home." After finishing her meal, Liang Xueying thought that her children didn't have this good fortune. After all, pheasant soup is not something you can have whenever you want.

"We have pheasant meat to eat this time, all thanks to my daughter-in-law. When the children come back, I will take them to the mountains to try setting a few traps." Guo Youxing touched his slightly protruding belly with a satisfied look on his face.

I’m really full.
