Lingquan water is indeed very useful.
In just a few minutes, a pheasant and two rabbits rushed in regardless of the danger.
Not long after, a pheasant and three little rabbits were added to the trap.
Deng Qingling waited for a few more minutes, and seeing that no small animals came to the door on their own initiative, she picked up the small animals in the trap one by one.
Put five rabbits and a pheasant in the space and raise them. Break the neck of the other pheasant, put it in a sack, and place it on top of the backpack.
Seeing that it was almost time, Deng Qingling went down the mountain carrying today's harvest.
On the way back, I occasionally saw people picking mountain products and wild fruits.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Before Deng Qingling even entered the courtyard, she heard the children's silver bell-like laughter. When she stepped into the house, she saw the children playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" in the yard.
When the children saw Deng Qingling coming back, they all ran over and surrounded her.
"Mom, you're back!"
"Mom, we were just playing Eagle Catches Chicken with my brothers and sisters. It was so much fun." Guo Ningwan said.
"Yes, it's very fun." Xiao Haoran nodded.
Deng Qingling smiled and said, "Just have fun. Come and see what Mom brought you back."
After saying that, Deng Qingling put down the backpack and removed the sack on top, revealing the chestnuts inside.
"Wow, so many chestnuts!"
The children looked at the chestnuts in the basket with shining eyes.
"Brothers and sisters, please peel them for your younger siblings. I'll use these to cook." Deng Qingling said as she grabbed two handfuls of chestnuts and put them on the stool.
Seeing a pile of chestnuts, the children were very happy, "Yeah, thank you, Grandma (Big Bom)."
Deng Qingling looked at the happy smiles of the children, especially the lovely smile on Guo Ningwan's face. She couldn't help but reach out and rub her shiny black hair. She said gently, "Be good, ask your brother to peel it for you to eat."
"Okay, I understand." Guo Ningwan nodded to her happily.
Then Deng Qingling picked up the sack and backpack and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Because chestnuts that have been left overnight are not as delicious, it is better to cook them while they are fresh. Boiled dried chestnuts in water are easier to preserve.
As soon as Deng Qingling entered, she saw Liang Xueying making a fire and cooking inside.
"Mom, I got a lot of chestnuts today and also caught a pheasant."
As he spoke, Deng Qingling put the things down, opened the sack, and took out the pheasant.
Liang Xueying looked down at the pheasant and said with a smile: "Oh, this pheasant is so fat."
Then Liang Xueying turned to Deng Qingling and said, "Then let's have chestnut roast chicken and pheasant mushroom soup tonight, which will satisfy the children's cravings." The family hadn't eaten pheasant for a long time.
Deng Qingling nodded and said: "Well, I will boil water and kill a chicken after dinner, and then start stewing the soup after I finish my nap." It will be just right if it is stewed by the evening.
"Okay, you go out and get the dishes and chopsticks first, we're about to have dinner." Liang Xueying opened the lid of the pot and scooped out the beans with a spatula.
Deng Qingling responded with a "hmm" and washed her hands, took the dishes and left the main room.
"It's time to eat. Haochen, take your younger brother and sister to wash their hands." After saying that, Deng Qingling turned around and went back to the kitchen to bring out the corn and mixed grain rice.
After hearing what Deng Qingling said, Guo Haochen stood up, dusted off his butt, and said to Guo Ninghuan and the others, "Let's go wash our hands and have dinner."
After saying that, Guo Haochen pulled a little kid to wash his hands.
At noon, I eat beans and corn rice.
After dinner, Deng Qingling washed the children’s hands and feet and sent them back to the house for a nap.
"You guys go back to bed and sleep. Mom is busy and still has work to do." Deng Qingling said.
Guo Haochen asked: "Mom, let me help you."
After going to school, Guo Haochen became more and more responsible. Most of the time, he would find work to do on his own without being told by adults.
Deng Qingling smiled slightly and said, "No need. Just take care of your younger brothers and sisters and put them to bed. I'll make you something delicious tonight."
"What's delicious? Is there any pheasant?" Guo Haoxi asked excitedly.
Deng Qingling smiled and threatened: "There are pheasants, but if you don't go to bed, you won't get any."
"Ah, brother, let's go back to the house and sleep." Guo Haoxi said, pulling Guo Haochen into the house.
Deng Qingling smiled helplessly and shook her head.
They chatted for a few minutes, and Guo Ninghuan had already coaxed Guo Ningwan to sleep.
When Deng Qingling went to the kitchen, Liang Xueying had already boiled hot water to remove the chicken feathers.
Seeing her mother-in-law killing a chicken, Deng Qingling cut a hole in the chestnuts and poured them into the pot to cook.
By the time Deng Qingling started to cook the chestnuts, Liang Xueying had already chopped the pheasant meat.
Deng Qingling simply washed the clay pot, as chicken soup made in a clay pot is the most delicious.
Now start stewing, burn some charcoal made by farmers themselves, and stew it slowly.
After she wakes up from her nap, we stew it over a firewood fire until it's almost done around six or seven o'clock.
Nothing else was added to the pheasant soup except a handful of dried bamboo fungus and a few red dates.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
When the children woke up from their nap, the chicken soup already had a faint fragrance.
After they smelled the aroma of chicken soup, they were reluctant to go out to play. They all played in the yard and waited for dinner.
It hasn’t been a long time since we last ate chicken at home. We ate it during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was about half a month ago.
It has been a long time since I stewed chicken. Not only the children are craving it, but anyone who smells the aroma will also be craving it.
After Guo Youxing got home from work, Deng Qingling scooped out the chicken soup.
As for why they didn’t serve it all at once, it was because there were many children at home.
The bamboo fungus stewed chicken tasted delicious. Even Deng Qingling drank a lot of the soup. She either drank the chicken soup or ate chestnuts, but she didn't eat much chicken.
This chicken soup is rich in nutrients and can replenish qi and yin, improve memory, immunity and physical fitness. It is a tonic soup suitable for all ages.
She actually put a lot of meat into the bowls of the two youngest children.
As for Guo Haochen and the twins, they can do it themselves and the adults don't need to worry about them.
Finally, everyone finished the bamboo fungus and pheasant soup and the chestnut roast chicken.
The children ate until their bellies were full and kept saying how delicious it was.
