Chapter 14 Steamed Chicken with Mushroom
Song Zhaozhao accepted the various items that Lu Chenmo and Yan Liluo had just bought without any ceremony.
"Girl!"
"Zhao Zhao!"
Song's father and Song's mother were really at a loss when they saw Song Zhaozhao accept it.
"Father, mother, what's the matter? Since Mr. Lu and Mr. Yan have already bought them, we can just accept them."
"Zhaozhao~!" Mother Song's tone was a little harsh.
"Mom, it's okay. This is our accommodation fee. We both have to leave. If you don't accept it, we don't know where to put these things."
"This...this costs you a lot of money." Mother Song was a little embarrassed.
"Auntie, it's the two of us who cost you money."
Song Zhaozhao: "..."
The mouth is still really sweet.
"Then...we'll accept it."
…
Song's father and Song's mother tried to stay, but finally they left Lu Chenmo and Yan Liluo for breakfast before leaving.
After Lu Chenmo and Yan Liluo left, Song Zhaozhao packed up the items they bought. Song's father and brother Song also went out to work, and Song's mother also went to help wealthy families.
Song Zhaozhao glanced at the two chickens the two of them had bought, thinking that he should build a nest for them. He looked around at the small yard of the Song family. Apart from this field, there was no suitable place elsewhere.
After much deliberation, Song Zhaozhao could only reluctantly build a small nest beside the field.
In fact, it's not impossible to put roosters and hens in the yard and let them run around freely. Song Zhaozhao was just afraid that the chickens he finally got would run out of the yard.
After placing the two chickens, Song Zhaozhao divided the grain seeds and vegetable seeds, and divided the field into two areas, one side for growing wheat, and the other side for growing various vegetables.
It is early spring now, a good time to plant vegetables. Vegetables grow quickly and can be picked in less than ten days and a half. Wheat can be harvested after autumn, which is perfect for grinding white flour and picking fine rice.
When Song Zhaozhao packed everything up, it was already past noon. Song's father, Song's mother and Song's brother all left with dry food and did not come back for lunch. Song Zhaozhao was the only one at home, so Song Zhaozhao didn't think about it.
The thought of cooking, coupled with the fact that I had just finished working, left me with no appetite for anything.
After taking a casual bite, Song Zhaozhao lay down in the middle of the yard, looked at the sky, and fell asleep unconsciously.
"Second uncle, second aunt, cousin, Zhao Zhao, are all at home?"
Song Zhaozhao had just fallen asleep. In her sleep, she was visiting a high-end restaurant, eating various gourmet cakes and drinking various coffee drinks. When she was eating just right, someone suddenly woke her up.
Song Zhaozhao woke up, feeling suffocated because his food dream was disturbed.
"Who is it?" Song Zhaozhao's tone was a little impatient.
"It's me, Zhao Zhao."
Song Zhaozhao looked for the voice and looked outside the door. Standing outside at this time was a girl, tall and thin, neither a professional nor a firewood, wearing relatively gorgeous clothes, and a hairpin on her head.
, looks like a young lady from a wealthy family.
The woman looked at Song Zhaozhao with confusion in her eyes and walked up to Song Zhaozhao.
"Zhaozhao, it's me, your cousin Tingting."
Only then did Song Zhaozhao realize that the person standing in front of him at this moment was none other than his uncle's cousin. She was indeed a person who relied on clothes to dress up and saddle up. This Song Tingting had changed into gorgeous clothes, making it unrecognizable.
.
"It turns out she's my cousin. She changed into nice clothes, but I didn't even recognize her." Song Zhaozhao said with a smile.
Song Tingting smiled: "It's okay. It's okay to wait until you find a good family."
Song Zhaozhao took a look at his own clothes, and then at Song Tingting's. Although he and she were sisters of the same blood, now it seemed that he and Song Tingting were simply maids and young ladies.
Song Zhaozhao smiled awkwardly: "My cousin really loves to joke."
"But Zhaozhao, is your health okay?"
"ah?"
"Didn't you fall into the water a while ago? I was busy with getting married and didn't have time to see you."
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. It's all fine now."
"It's okay. Second uncle and the others are out?"
Song Zhaozhao nodded.
"Actually, I don't have anything else to do when I come here. I just have one thing that I want Zhaozhao to help me with."
Look, the uncle's family really doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
"Cousin, what can I do to help you?"
"Tomorrow, I'm going to the city to buy some things for getting married. Where is your aunt? She has something to do tomorrow and no one can go with me. I was thinking, Zhaozhao, do you have time to go with me?
"
Song Zhaozhao looked at Song Tingting's eyes full of expectation and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Then it's agreed that I'll come back to you tomorrow."
Song Zhaozhao looked at Song Tingting's back and always felt that this cousin was a little different from his eldest aunt. At least she was very approachable.
Song Zhaozhao rested for a while, thinking that Father Song, Mother Song, and Brother Song had been busy all day, and they must cook a good meal for them in the evening. When he got to the kitchen, he saw the half chicken leftover from yesterday.
After thinking about it, I looked at the Song family's surplus grain and the winter mushrooms, so why not make a steamed chicken with mushrooms?
This dish requires relatively few ingredients, just a few mushrooms, fungus and eggs, which are just right. The Song family has these ingredients.
Song Zhaozhao first washed half a pheasant and cut it into pieces, then soaked the mushrooms and fungus in water and let them marinate well. Mix the pheasant pieces with fine salt, an appropriate amount of egg white, white flour, shredded ginger, etc., and then pour it on
Mix some lard and mix well. Cut the mushrooms and fungus into small pieces and add them to the chicken pieces and mix well.
Add water to the pot and bring to a boil, put the pheasant pieces and mushrooms and fungus into the pot, steam over high heat for about 10 and a half hours. The steamed chicken with mushrooms is ready to be cooked.
Not long after Song Zhaozhao's chicken was put into the pot, all three members of the Song family came back at the same time.
"Sister, what are you doing? It smells so good."
As soon as Brother Song entered the house, he smelled the fragrance.
"Brother, it's steamed chicken with mushrooms. There was half a chicken left from yesterday. I thought it would be just right to make a dish."
“Girl, we’re making delicious food again!”
"Dad, dinner will be ready soon."
Song's mother also came in at this time.
"Zhaozhao, what about this steamed chicken with mushrooms...?"
"Mom, you will know after you taste it later."
Seeing Song Zhaozhao's smiling face, Song's mother just smiled: "Okay, will you go out and wait?"
Song Zhaozhao nodded: "Okay, just wait outside, mother."
