After returning from her neighbor's house, Lin Siya looked at the time and prepared to make something simple to eat, then go to bed early because she had to go to work tomorrow.
There were a lot of wild game in the space, but Lin Siya was helpless with them. She didn't know how to kill a wild boar or skin a rabbit, so she finally chose a pheasant.
The pheasant had been in the space for several days and had long been dead, so when taking it out, all we had to do was boil water, remove the feathers, and gut it.
The pheasants on the mountain are not big, but they are quite fat. After plucking the feathers, clean them and chop them into small pieces. Heat the oil in the pan, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until the water evaporates, then add boiling water and stew.
Soon, the rich aroma of chicken soup wafted out. Fortunately, she had already made preparations and blocked the doors and windows of the house tightly to prevent the smell from escaping.
Pheasants are drier than domestic chickens, so they need to be stewed for a longer time. When the chicken becomes softer, Lin Siya directly adds some dried mushrooms to make the whole dish more rich.
She was originally thinking of cooking rice with chicken stewed with mushrooms, but when she suddenly smelled this aroma, she felt that she had to have some pancakes to make it more authentic.
She took out some finely ground cornmeal and some white flour from the space, mixed them together, added water and a little sugar and stirred. When it was almost kneaded, she pinched a small piece of the dough, then tossed it left and right in her hand, and finally stuck it to the edge of the iron pan.
I covered the pot and let the whole dish stew slowly. I started to prepare a cold dish, which is also a very common home-cooked dish in the Northeast region, shredded cucumber with dried tofu. Today I have a Northeast set meal.
The aroma from the pot became stronger and stronger, and Lin Siya began to drool. After a week in the countryside, she was really craving meat.
With three people going in and out together every day, it became very difficult for her to have a snack. She could only stuff herself with a bun or something during the break in the toilet. She didn't dare eat meat for fear of being smelled.
Not to mention the lunch, the dishes sometimes contain field mouse meat, sparrow meat and so on. Sparrow meat is okay, but field mouse meat is really unacceptable, so she really craves meat this week.
Fortunately, Grandma Qin occasionally cooked an egg or something for the three of them, otherwise she would have definitely starved and lost weight during this week.
Wait until the soup in the pot becomes thick, and the chicken stewed with mushrooms is ready.
She first used a spatula to scrape the cornmeal pancakes off the edge of the pot.
The pancakes became browned and gave off a unique aroma of corn. When you take a bite, the browned bottom is a little crispy, mixed with the broth of chicken and mushrooms, the taste is simply amazing.
Just as she was about to eat, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Siya was suddenly startled. Could it be that the smell of stewed chicken had spread out and attracted people here?
He quickly stuffed the stewed chicken with mushrooms into the cupboard, leaving only a plate of shredded cucumber mixed with shredded tofu and cornmeal pancakes on the table.
"Who is it?"
"It's me!"
A familiar voice sounded at the door. Lin Siya was very surprised and quickly opened the door. It was Fu Sinian!
"Why are you here?"
The two of them haven't seen each other for a week. To be honest, they really miss each other very much. They only have each other in their eyes.
"Ahem? And me, Comrade Lin!"
Yang Bo couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He suddenly felt that he had been busy all day and was not that hungry anymore.
It was as if these two people didn't see him, their eyes were so sweet that they could be drawn.
Only then did Lin Siya notice Yang Bo standing behind Fu Sinian, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Come in!" She quickly let the two people in. "Have you two eaten?"
"Not yet. We came here as soon as we got off work. Comrade Lin Siya, what delicious food did you make? Why does it smell so good?" Yang Bo's nose kept twitching. The lingering fragrance in the air made his mouth water.
"Finally, you're here. I just finished cooking. Hurry up and wash your hands. I'll go and stir-fry some vegetables." Lin Siya hurriedly greeted them.
"Yaya, don't bother, we brought two more dishes."
Fu Sinian handed the two lunch boxes in his hand to Lin Siya. When Lin Siya opened them, she was also happy. One lunch box was full of pig's head meat, and the other lunch box contained a braised fish. Smelling the familiar smell, she knew that these two dishes were bought from the state-owned restaurant.
Lin Siya took out the stewed chicken with mushrooms from the cupboard, and under the cover of the cupboard, she took out a few white steamed buns.
People here eat both rice and noodles. She just made so many pancakes, which should be enough for three people.
The pheasant was not big, and after adding some mushrooms, it was just enough for Lin Siya. In order to be able to eat this dish often, she made the largest portion when cooking it, and put part of it into the space after finishing it.
The remaining large pot should be enough for the three of them.
Yang Bo was very excited when he saw Lin Siya take out such a big pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
"Oh my god, I haven't had this for a long time!" His mother is from Northeast China, and he has been eating Northeastern dishes made by his mother since he was a child.
Since coming here, except for the time he went back before, he really hasn't eaten Northeastern cuisine for a long time.
I used to think that the food his mother cooked was just so-so, but since I left home, I realized that the food my mother cooks is the most memorable.
"Come here, this chicken is a genuine pheasant. I exchanged it with the villagers. I exchanged several of them and made them into dried chicken. This mushroom was given to me by a grandmother when I stayed in the countryside these few days. The grandmother was very kind and gave it to me when I left."
