After a while.

All the materials are ready, but we still haven’t seen Li Mubai come back.

"Brother Weiguo, do you think something will happen to Chu Li? Otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to catch a chicken!" Li Xianmu asked nervously.

"Don't tell me that this is really possible. Li Chu rarely comes to our mountain farm. Those chickens are free-range. It is easy for Li Chu to be taken into a ditch or get lost!" Xu Weiguo also reacted.
p>

"Holy crap! What should we do now?" Li Xianmu panicked at that time.

"What else can we do? Of course we have to look for it!" Xu Weiguo quickly walked out of the cave and started looking for Li Mubai.

"Li Chu!"

"Li Chu! Where are you!"

"Let's go, I'll look over there."

After climbing half the mountain, Xu Weiguo and Li Xianmu finally found Li Mubai lying on his back in a pit.

"Weiguo, I'm here first!"

When Li Mubai heard the two voices, it was you who quickly shouted.

When Xu Weiguo and Li Xianmu saw Li Mubai, they couldn't hold back for a moment and burst out laughing.

"You two are still laughing, hurry up and pull me up!"

Li Mubai is not in a good mood.

Xu Weiguo and Li Xianmu quickly pulled Li Mubai out of the pit.

"Li Chu, your way of getting into the trap is so funny! Haha!"

After Li Xianmu pulled Li Mubai up, he still couldn't help laughing.

"It's really embarrassing. I didn't know that the chickens here can run so well. No, they can not only run but also fly!" Li Mubai couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I just chased a chicken all the way, and the last one

I accidentally fell into this pit, my legs were upside down, my body was stuck, and I couldn't get out. Fortunately, you two came to find me, otherwise I might have ended up here!"

Xu Weiguo was a little embarrassed and said: "Li Chu, this is my fault. I forgot to tell you that I am a free-range chicken. This 'skill' is much better than that of ordinary domestic chickens. It can run and fly, and is no different from a pheasant."

!"

"Free range chicken? What kind of chicken is this? Why have I never heard of it?" Li Mubai asked with some confusion.

Xu Weiguo nodded and explained, "Li Chu, free-range chicken is not a breed, but a name. Free-range chickens are naturally raised chickens that grow in open spaces such as grass or woods. They generally eat grains, rice, and various other types of chickens.

Vegetable leaves, leftover food from farmers, and some small bugs from nature. Chickens often move around and the air quality is relatively high, so the chicken has a firm texture and a better taste."

"Most free-range chickens are raised by farmers themselves. They first feed them feed and millet until they weigh about one kilogram, and then switch to millet, rice bran, vegetable leaves, or seeds or small bugs that are left in the field to let them eat grass.

."

"Free-range chickens grow in a natural environment and eat natural food, so the eggs they produce will naturally be of better quality. The eggs produced by general chicken farms, which are often referred to as "foreign eggs", are

Specialized laying hen breeds and artificial feed are used, and their nutritional value may not be as good as eggs from free-range chickens. Therefore, even if the price is much more expensive, many people are still willing to buy eggs from free-range chickens, especially for the elderly, pregnant women and children.

."

"In the true sense, free-range chickens should be completely free-range. They move around in the forest for food every day and only eat insects, weeds and other natural foods. Due to unbalanced nutrition, such chickens lay relatively small eggs, but because they walk

Free-range chickens eat more green leafy vegetables, and the egg yolks contain high levels of carotenoids and vitamin B2, so the egg yolks are larger and darker in color. Free-range chickens, on the other hand, lay fewer eggs and have a longer nutrient accumulation cycle, so the eggs they lay have higher fat content.

high

, not suitable for long-term consumption by the elderly. However, free-range chicken eggs also have advantages. They contain higher levels of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids and phospholipids. These two substances can promote the metabolism of cholesterol and are very important for cardiovascular protection.

There are benefits. Because the fat content in free-range chicken eggs is higher, the yolks are larger, which is very suitable for making boiled eggs and fried eggs. Simple cooking methods can fully bring out its excellent taste."

Li Xianmu also followed up and said: "Li Chu, I only learned about this after I came to the deep mountain farm. The chicken raised in this way tastes really good!"

"Actually, it was difficult for me to catch these chickens at first, but as time went by, I also grasped the weaknesses of these chickens, and I was able to catch them easily!"

"Does this free-range chicken have any weaknesses? I almost want to call it a fighting chicken! At first, a few roosters wanted to peck me!" Li Mubai said with an aggrieved look.

"Of course there are weaknesses. If you don't believe me, let me show you!"

After Li Xianmu finished speaking, he rushed out, and after a while, he actually asked him to catch two big roosters.

Li Mubai looked surprised when he saw this, and quickly asked: "Xianmu, this chicken catching technique is good. Do you have any experience? Tell me about it, so that I don't have to be so embarrassed next time!"

Li Xianmu scratched his head and said with a smile: "I can't rely on experience, but there are indeed some methods."

"To capture ground chickens, you have to use pheasant methods. Heavy snowfall is a good time for hunters to hunt animals, because the footprints left by the movements of animals make it easy for hunters to find them. From the newness of the footprints left by the animals, hunters can

We can judge the distance of animals from us and the size and number of animals based on our own experience. Pheasants turn around when frightened, and so do free-range chickens!"

"Free-range chickens and pheasants also have a fatal weakness, that is, after being disturbed, they will immediately jump up and get into the grass. But because they are too nervous, they often just hide their heads and don't care if their butts are exposed. So.

, it’s easy to catch it at this time.”

"Prepare a relatively bright flashlight and a long bamboo pole net. Pheasants can only be caught at night, because when the flashlight shines brightly, they can't see anything. They just open their eyes and look around stupidly. It's especially fun in winter!

The pheasants are all crowded together in a nest. At this time, you quietly stretch out the net and snap it hard, and you have the pheasants. You can catch at least two or three in one net. Use a step-hair mousetrap to catch the pheasants.

Wrap a strip of cloth around the edge of the clip to prevent it from slipping

; The traditional method is to use a matchmaker to lure the pheasant, and then arrange a looper on the ground. This method is only suitable for professionals. One person in front shines a bright light on the pheasant's eyes, and slowly approaches, while the other person holds a big net.

One click and it's OK. Use a phonograph to record the cries of pheasants. You can download them online. Find an open space at night, cover the speaker with straw, light a small lamp next to it, and bring a headlamp. When the pheasants come,

Take the net and go directly to the Internet."

"Of course, these methods are a bit high-end, so I chose the stupidest method, which is to compete with these free-range chickens. Whether they are pheasants or free-range chickens, although they have wings, they are not real birds. Even if

It can fly, but it can't fly very far at a time, so this time is very critical. As long as you control the rhythm and run to the location where the free-range chicken lands in advance, you can just sit back and wait for the free-range chicken to jump into your arms!

”

"And this is how I caught these two chickens!"

After listening to Li Xianmu's narration, Li Mubai shook his head repeatedly and said helplessly: "Hey, I can't seem to do anything you said! I... I can't do it anymore if I don't accept it!"

Xu Weiguo saw that Li Mubai was a little frustrated and quickly said: "Li Chu, catching chickens is not an honorable thing. For such small things, we have to give young people a chance. From now on, we will let Xianmu do things like catching chickens."

That’s good! How happy you are to catch it first!”

Hearing Xu Weiguo's words, Li Mubai suddenly understood, "Weiguo, you are right. I am not omnipotent, so why do I have to struggle with catching chickens!"

"Then I will listen to your advice and leave the job of catching chickens to Comrade Xianmu from now on!"

After hearing what Li Mubai said, Li Xianmu was immediately dumbfounded, "Li Chu, Brother Weiguo, this...can't be like this! I was kind enough to help, but why did this matter become my business in the end? I..."<

/p>

Xu Weiguo patted Li Xianmu on the shoulder, "Here are the three of us. Li Chu is old and I want to cook. If not you, who will go? Or I will catch chickens and you will be responsible for cooking?"

Li Xianmu shook his head repeatedly, "Forget it, as my eldest sister said, neither the pig nor I will eat the food I cook!"

"Haha, you sister is really funny, putting you and a pig in the same position." Li Mubai was also amused.

"Perhaps, in the eyes of his eldest sister, Xianmu is not even as good as a pig!" Xu Weiguo said with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Weiguo, you are really amazing. How do you know that my eldest sister always scolds me for being worse than a pig?" Li Xianmu said in surprise, but he quickly realized, "Eh? That's not right.

If you say that, the older girl in my family is scolding me!"

"You just realized it now!" Li Mubai and Xu Weiguo couldn't stop laughing!

Li Xianmu looked at it openly and immediately waved his hand, "Just scold me, my big sister has nothing to scold me for!"

Seeing how miserable Li Xianmu was, Xu Weiguo and Li Mubai couldn't continue to tease and rub salt into the latter's wounds!

"Okay, now that the chicken has been caught, let's go back and get food! Today is the first time for the three of us to cook in this remote mountain farm, which is of great significance!"

Xu Weiguo took the initiative to change the topic!

"Come on, I can't wait to eat Wei Guo's food!"

Li Mubai had indeed not eaten Xu Weiguo's food for a long time. He wanted to go to Xu Weiguo's country several times to have a meal, but due to his face as a leader, he restrained himself, so he would never give up this time.

.

The three of them carried two chickens and returned to the cave.

Xu Weiguo started to get busy.

The first dish is naturally a family portrait. When making it, first soak the winter squash, yuba, and fungus in water and wait until they swell and set aside. Dried squid and dried shrimp are also soaked in water and set aside. Clean and process all the vegetable ingredients.

Cut into slices and set aside. Special attention is paid to the heat when making this dish. When stir-frying, medium heat is required.

Add oil to the pot. When the oil is hot, add a few slices of garlic that have been chopped with a knife. Saute the garlic until fragrant. Add the dried squid, dried shrimps, winter squash, yuba, and fungus into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add other meats,

Put the vegetables into the pot and fry them together with the dry goods.

Then add oyster sauce, salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken powder, Zhuhou sauce, southern milk, peanut butter and other seasonings, add the seasonings and stir-fry, then add the thirteen spices, stir-fry for a while over high heat.

When the vegetables are almost cooked, add celery, garlic sprouts, and green onions, and stir-fry again. After the vegetables are cooked, take them out of the pan and sprinkle the previously fried peanuts and cashews on the surface of the family portrait on the plate.

The dish is finished.
