After working for a while, the group saw Jingchen carrying three wild animals down the mountain. When they came to them, Wenxin discovered that what Jingchen was carrying was actually a pheasant and two rabbits. She looked surprised.
asked: "Uncle Jing, this is a good harvest."
"Yes, I didn't expect to hunt three wild animals in such a short period of time. There happened to be a chicken, which should be enough to make a big bowl with yesterday's chicken."
Wen Xin nodded repeatedly, then looked at the freshly picked chestnuts on the side and said, "Why don't you make a chestnut roast? This dish will definitely be delicious."
Chestnut? Roast chicken?
Can these two be put together?
Wen Jin asked: "Xin'er, this chestnut is sweet and that chicken is salty, can we eat them together? Will they taste good?"
Of course it tastes good. The chicken now is a pheasant, and the chestnuts are also wild chestnuts. The taste when cooked together will only be better than the ones in later generations. "You will know if it tastes good when you go back and try it, but I don't think it will."
Unpalatable."
Wen Wen had already given such a positive answer, so naturally they couldn't say anything more. Jing Chen had already gone down the mountain. When they looked at the boxes they had brought back, they were almost full, so Wen Hou suggested: "
We are almost done, let’s go back first, it will take some time to kill the chickens and process the chestnuts.”
Wen Jin immediately agreed: "Yes, let's go back quickly."
After saying that, the group of people went down the mountain.
They said they were busy working on the mountain for a short time, but it was actually not a short time. The mountain road was rugged and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, let alone stay in the same place.
So when the group of people descended the mountain, it was already past noon, and it was almost time to start preparing dinner at this time.
Wenxin originally planned to let Wenhou handle the pheasants, but Jingchen volunteered, so the three Wen brothers could only be assigned to the chestnut team.
But when it comes to chestnuts, it is really difficult to clean them. First, peel off the hard shell of the chestnuts, then put them in water and cook them. Then, run them through cold water and peel off the soft fur of the chestnuts. Only then can the chestnuts be considered clean.
.
After the chicken is almost ready, today's main course of roasted chicken with chestnuts begins.
The chicken needs to be stir-fried with ginger in the pot until it is slightly brown, then add cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and dark soy sauce to add color. Stir-fry again, add water foam to cover the chicken and simmer for 20 minutes, then add chestnuts and simmer for 30 minutes, and finally add
Season with salt, then heat to reduce the juice.
Although the two chickens are not big, they are not small either. If the Jing family and his son eat it, they will not be able to finish one chicken. But who wants the Wen family to have more chicken? If the chicken is not enough, they can only eat it.
Duoduo added the free chestnuts, but the roasted chicken with chestnuts was almost the same as the later ones. The whole dish was basically taken away by the chestnuts. Even Jingchen couldn't help but said: "The roasted chicken with chestnuts"
The flavors in the chicken are so harmonious that the chestnut is even more delicious than the chicken."
Jing Bo also ate with his face like a little tabby cat, and followed Jing Chen's words and echoed: "It's delicious."
If both of them agreed, there would be no need to mention the members of the Wen family. Wen Jin kept saying, "It's so delicious, Xin'er. The chestnuts are so sweet when mixed with chicken flavor, and they taste really delicious.
This thing is really filling. I haven’t even eaten the staple food yet, and my stomach is already full.”
This is true. Chestnuts can be eaten as a staple food. They were so hungry that Wen Wen steamed a few steamed buns at night without even letting them cook. However, no one touched the steamed buns at all.
Eating chestnuts.
Wen Jin said: "Tomorrow I will go pick chestnuts together. The chestnuts seem to last for a while. We can pick them at home and eat them slowly."
"But Third Brother, you have something to do tomorrow. Our family is going to sell pig intestines the day after tomorrow. Don't you plan to buy some tomorrow?"
Speaking of which, Huangjia Village and Tongliang Village still haven't recovered from the flooding. She doesn't know if the pigs are being killed now, so she paused as soon as Wen Xin finished speaking.
Obviously Wen Yu had something in mind with him, so he said: "Eldest brother and third brother should not go to Huangjia Village and Tongliang Village for the time being tomorrow. When we bought donkeys, the villagers obviously hadn't recovered yet, and that village
It doesn't look like there are pigs being slaughtered here. The two villages are not in a hurry. Besides, our business hasn't started yet. Who knows whether the business is good or not? Let's buy some at the market and make some.
Tomorrow morning I will take Uncle Wang's donkey cart to go to the market to buy some. Don't go there, all of you go to the mountains."
If we were just buying pig intestines, Wen Yu could go alone, but Wen Wen still asked, "Do you need me to accompany my second brother?"
Wen Yu smiled and said: "No, I'm just going to buy some pig intestines. I need someone to accompany me wherever I go."
The matter was settled like this, but then Jingchen said: "We, father and son, have been bothering you for a long time. Tomorrow I will go and inquire with the village chief. I plan to find a place to build a house and stay here.
It’s outrageous.”
As soon as they heard that the Jing family father and son were leaving, everyone who was still eating suddenly lost their appetite. How should I put it? At first, the father and son were allowed to live in the house purely to repay Jing Chen for saving his life, but everyone got along with each other.
After such a long time, it is inevitable that some feelings will arise, especially since Jingbo Xiaotuanzi is so cute, no one would want to leave him.
But Jingchen then said: "I plan to build the house closer to you. I don't know if you are willing. Before living in the mountains, Bo'er was inevitably too lonely. Recently, I feel that I have been with you all.
This child is very lively."
If that were the case, it would be fine, but to be honest, no matter where the building was, it was still in the same village, so what were they feeling sad about just now?
"Okay, it would be best to just build it next to us, so that I can often play with brother Xiaobo." Wen Shan surpassed everyone in the family who could make decisions and directly agreed with Jingchen's idea.
However, it was his appearance that made everyone laugh. In short, the child's serious look was really interesting, but no matter who it was that the Jing family father and son wanted to move next door to them, they really didn't have the slightest objection.
Little Jingbo, who was eating deliciously, understood that they were moving, but if they just moved to the next door, he didn't care and continued to eat his dinner in the bowl.
But when it comes to moving, it is not that fast. Jingchen said: "The land has not been approved yet, and we will have to build it by then. Anyway, I will bother you for a while. The fastest we can move is next month, and the slowest it will be before the end of the year."
You can move away."
But it's really not that urgent. Wen Yu said: "No rush, it's just next door anyway, just take your time."
…
The next day.
Wen Yu, who originally planned to go to the market alone, had no choice but to take Wenxin with her.
Wen Xin said: "I won't set up a stall today, I just want to visit the market."
