Chapter 23: Indispensable
Home-cooked cooking for braised chicken is not difficult.
Stews like these with large ingredients are actually much simpler than some stir-frying, but they are just more time-consuming.
Take out the blanched chicken leg pieces, wash the remaining blood foam on it, boil oil in the pot, add ginger, garlic, star anise and dried chili peppers, and then add the chicken.
Add some cooking wine to better remove the fishy smell.
Add light soy sauce, dark soybean paste, oil-consuming, a few rock sugar, white pepper powder, then stir-fry and color, put the potato cubes in, stir-fry for a while, and add water, preferably hot water, of course cold water is fine, so it is not a good idea to make at home.
Stew for ten to fifteen minutes.
Then add some green pepper flakes and stuff them in, and you can almost get out of the pot. Logically speaking, adding green and red pepper and enoki mushrooms is the right thing to do, but now there isn't, so I can only make do with it.

“Out of the pot!”
Jiang Chengwen opened the lid of the pot and the fragrance came to his nose.
He took a big bowl and served it out. When he was about to take it out, he was suddenly shocked by Jiang's mother who was peeking at the door.
Jiang Chengwen patted his chest and said, "Mom, you scared me to death..."
Jiang Ma stared at him suspiciously and asked, "Why did I never know that you can cook, and I just came up with braised chicken?"
Jiang Chengwen explained: "I studied online when I was bored. This is the first time I started it. How about trying it out?"
Mom Jiang walked forward, she picked up the chopsticks and added a piece of chicken, blew it, and put it in her mouth.
Her eyes lit up and she said, "It's delicious!"
It is 90% similar to those sold outside, with almost no difference in taste and taste.
Jiang Chengwen picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece to taste it, nodded and said, "It's not bad."
"It's really delicious!!" Jiang Ma said excitedly: "It tastes almost the same as the ones sold in the outside store. How did you do it?"
Jiang Chengwen said: "I learned online."
Jiang's mother stared at him and said, "I'm always staring at you when you cook. I'm a veteran at first glance. Okay, you're even hiding your mother now, come here as it is!"
"Mom, please spare my life!"
Jiang Chengwen raised his hand to surrender.
In the end, Jiang Ma couldn't find out why, just thought that the child was old and had his own ideas.
Jiang Ma usually eats very little, but today I put two bowls of rice in this meal. She is making the soup of braised chicken. The more I eat, the more I want to eat it.
When Jiang Ma looked at Jiang Chengwen eating chicken and potatoes, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Is there really anyone who eats braised chicken without mixing rice?"
Jiang Chengwen listened to Jiang’s mother and said, “Mom, have you been visiting forums too much? Why are you talking nonsense?”
Jiang Ma shook her head and said seriously: "No, I feel uncomfortable when I see you not mixing rice."
Jiang Chengwen had no choice but to use a spoon to scoop a little soup and stir it into the rice.
Ma Jiang nodded with satisfaction, and then made another bowl of rice.
"I'm so full, huh..."
Ma Jiang said happily: "Son, you have great skills!"
"It's okay." Jiang Chengwen smiled.
My mother always has this kind of temperament. There is a saying that men are teenagers until death, while my mother is teenagers until death, while women are teenagers until death.
Every year, he is as beautiful as a flower.
Most of the braised chicken was left, and it was left for my dad.
After dinner, my mother refused to let Jiang Chengwen wash the dishes, so she rushed to wash the dishes.
Jiang Chengwen took a break and watched the TV series for a while.
But when my mother finished washing the dishes, her face looked a little bad, and she seemed to have something to worry about.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chengwen said in confusion.
Jiang Ma pouted and asked, "Is mom useless..."
When Jiang Chengwen heard this, he knew that his mother was thinking too much and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Mom Jiang held up her chin and muttered: "Look at me, I'm idle all day and I can't help your dad anyway. I can't even take good care of you. I've been studying cooking for so long, but I'm still in a hurry and can't do anything."
There was a TV series about children in the family playing on TV, and the family inside sat at the dining table and was talking and laughing.
After watching it, Jiang Ma felt even more sad. She couldn't even imagine taking a table of dishes. Over the years, her cooking skills have not made much progress. She also wanted to make a table of good dishes like in TV series.
She felt that this was what my mother should do.
"You can't think so."
Jiang Chengwen stood up and said, "Mom, what kind of role do you think you are playing at home?"
When Ma Jiang was asked this, she thought for a while and replied, "Idle?"
She is indeed quite idle.
Jiang Chengwen smiled and said, "It's indeed an idle person, but idle is valuable."
"What does leisurely value?" Jiang Ma said in confusion.
Jiang Chengwen touched his chin and said, "Mom, you know that my dad is usually a person who doesn't like talking. Sometimes he comes home very late and is always exhausted when he comes back. But since he was a child, our family has never had any fights, and they are all happy. You have made great contributions to this."
When Jiang Ma was stunned when she heard this, she asked, "Yes, is this happening?"
Jiang Chengwen continued, "Mom, you just didn't realize it. Although you don't know how to cook, you have been studying for so many years and never stopped. My father and I also saw it and have always supported you, just like you support me."
"The most important thing about a family is the atmosphere, and you are the seasoning for our family. If it weren't for you, my dad and I wouldn't have a few words to talk about. The family is also dead, and you are the seasoning for the family. It is because of you that the scenes of the family gathering and having fun together."
Ma Jiang was a little stunned.
Jiang Chengwen also said: "I have never seen any unpleasant things at home since I was a child. This is the family that many people dream of. Sometimes, a person's value is more reflected in himself, rather than some external factors. So, mom, you must understand that it is not my dad who made you successful, but you made this family."
"You are the indispensable one!"
Jiang Ma's unique personality makes this family full of vitality, which is something she has never discovered.
Jiang Chengwen looked at his mother, but saw her looking at him. Suddenly, his mouth sagged and his eyes began to turn red.
Jiang Chengwen was shocked and said intimidatingly that something was wrong.
He expected that these words would touch my mother a little, but he didn't expect to cry.
"No, mom, don't cry, I..."
Jiang Chengwen was a little helpless, and he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
Ma Jiang reached out to wipe her tears, sobbed and asked, "Is it really that important?"
"Of course there is!" Jiang Chengwen nodded and said.
"Click."
However, at this moment, the sound of the key turning sounded.
Dad Jiang pushed the door and walked in, but saw Mom Jiang sitting on the sofa wiping her tears.
"Why are you crying??"
Dad Jiang was startled and ran up in panic before he even put his bag on it and asked, "Wife, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
When Jiang Chengwen saw that Jiang's father took his mother's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Jiang Ma made this family in exchange...
