Lu Jing moved very quickly. As soon as Xia Yao cooked the rice, the prepared chicken, onions, ginger and garlic were already piled on the cutting board.
This is an old hen carefully raised by Aunt Guihua, and the farmers feed it with insects and grains, which are the best ingredients.
As the saying goes, the best ingredients only require the simplest cooking.
Xia Yao bundled the onions, ginger, and garlic into a ball and stuffed them all into the chicken's belly. Then he put the chicken in a pot of cold water. After the fire boiled, he took out all the firewood and used the temperature of the stove to simmer the chicken until it was cooked.
Lu Tiantian and Lu Changbai squatted in the open space of the yard, glancing in the direction of the kitchen from time to time. The fragrance emanating from the kitchen dominated their noses.
Xia Yao took a deep breath in the kitchen and showed a satisfied smile.
The chicken soup stewed in the farmhouse's earthen stove is indeed the best!
She held up the spatula and shouted outside: "Someone come and give me a taste!"
Lu Tiantian stood up immediately. Lu Changbai wanted to be reserved, but his hands and feet refused to obey and he walked to the kitchen first.
Xia Yao looked at Lu Changbai's pretending to be serious and his little face was red. He smiled with his eyebrows crooked, and fed Lu Changbai a mouthful of chicken soup with the right temperature.
"Taste the saltiness."
As soon as he took the chicken soup into his mouth, Lu Changbai's eyes widened, and even his previous reserve was forgotten.
For such a large pot of chicken soup, Xia Yao only put a spoonful of salt, which contained more of the original flavor of the chicken. As soon as the rich chicken soup entered his mouth, it went down his throat and made his whole chest feel warm.
"Does it taste good?" Seeing Lu Changbai's shocked look, Xia Yao snorted proudly in his heart.
Medicinal food is also a kind of delicacy, and it is very demanding of heat. She has been making medicinal food for so many years. Isn’t it as simple as making chicken soup?
It's a pity that there are still too few ingredients. If only I could put some ginseng in...
Xia Yao salivated as he thought about it in his heart.
Can't think about it anymore!
Xia Yao took back all his thoughts. The food was eaten one bite at a time, and the road was walked step by step. Don't rush.
Lu Tiantian had already sat on the small stool and looked at Xia Yao eagerly.
As soon as her round eyes opened, Xia Yao's heart almost melted, and he quickly brought the not-so-hot chicken soup to the table.
"Drink slowly." Xia Yao warned Lu Changbai and fed Lu Tiantian one mouthful after another.
After finishing the bowl of chicken soup, Lu Changbai realized: "Second uncle hasn't drunk yet."
"He'll drink it later." Xia Yao replied lightly.
Lu Jing definitely didn't want to sit at the same table with her to eat. It just so happened that she didn't want to see Lu Jing's iceberg face either.
"I'll call him after eating." Xia Yao wiped Lu Changbai's mouth with a handkerchief, "Don't worry, I left a pile of chicken for him."
Lu Changbai suddenly realized: "That's it."
Xia Yao glanced at the steaming casserole and snorted softly.
On the top of the willow trees in the moonlight, the Qingshui Brigade could vaguely see the lights of stars, but at this time, few people were willing to light lamps.
The Lu family was completely dark, with only the firewood burning in the kitchen giving the home a little light.
Lu Jing walked into the kitchen and immediately saw the casserole still simmering on the stove. A faint aroma came from the casserole.
While Xia Yao and the others were drinking chicken soup, he turned around and walked towards the back mountain.
One is that he doesn't want to eat at the same table as Xia Yao, and the other is that he wants to go around the back mountain while no one is following him to see if he can gain anything.
Unfortunately, after walking around the back mountain, I couldn't even see a single ginseng leaf.
Lu Jing was thinking about something and opened the lid of the casserole.
The strong aroma hit his face, and his stomach growled a few times.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Jing picked up the casserole and placed it on the shaky dining table.
He will never owe Xia Yao anything.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing took a sip of chicken soup.
After taking this sip of chicken soup, Lu Jing felt that his internal organs were warming up. His movements subconsciously speeded up, and the chicken soup quickly bottomed out.
And the complete chicken skeleton hidden in the chicken soup also appeared in front of Lu Jing's eyes.
Lu Jing's low laughter sounded in the kitchen.
Sure enough, Xia Yao would never suffer a loss.
This chicken soup is just chicken soup. There is not even a piece of chicken in sight. The chicken skeleton is extremely smooth, and it has obviously been carefully trimmed.
He shook his head, cleaned up the kitchen, took a casual shower, and returned to the room.
Xia Yao, who was hugging Lu Tiantian, pricked up her ears and listened to the movement in the yard. In the silent night, any movement would be amplified. She clearly heard the man's low laugh.
What are you laughing laughing!
Xia Yao grinded his teeth.
There will be times when you cry!
But he said he was rushing to Tian Dashan in the county seat.
He huddled in the corner, feeling the coolness of early summer, and quickly tightened his coat.
But this thin coat can't resist the cool breeze.
Tian Dashan shrank for a while before he could stand up. He stamped his feet, trying to dispel the cold.
However, when he looked up and saw the closed door in front of him, his heart dropped again.
With a "crash" sound, Tian Dashan was drenched in a basin of cold water and turned into a drowned rat.
He looked forward blankly. Under the bright light of the electric light, a stocky black figure was facing him, holding a basin in his hand!
"you you you……"
"Here comes someone!" The woman put her hands on her hips and shouted, her sharp voice almost breaking Tian Dashan's eardrums.
"Catch the thief!"
"There's a thief!"
Tian Dashan was still angry when he suddenly heard the woman's scream. He immediately came back to his senses and quickly explained: "I am waiting for someone here! I am not a thief!"
"I've never seen you!" The woman glared at him coldly, "If you don't leave, when the security team comes, go and tell the police to go ahead!"
"If you weren't a thief, why would you be squatting in front of my house?"
"I'm here to see Captain Ma!" Tian Dashan couldn't help but defend himself.
As soon as he mentioned the name, the woman stopped talking.
Tian Dashan thought that the woman was afraid of Ma Fei, and his tone was slightly contented: "Captain Ma and I have been friends for many years. I came to him specifically today to talk about old times."
However, the moment he finished saying this proudly, a ceramic basin was thrown towards his face.
Tian Dashan was hit and took several steps back, looking at this woman with stars in his eyes.
The woman's back was facing the light. He couldn't see clearly the expression on the woman's face, but he could clearly feel the hatred in the woman's eyes.
"Come here! Catch the thief! He wants to act like a gangster!"
The woman shouted several times in succession, and people on the street quickly rushed over.
Tian Dashan was so dizzy that he couldn't find his direction at all. Seeing a large number of people running towards him, he ran in the opposite direction without thinking.
But a pair of big hands firmly grasped his shoulders at this moment: "Where to run?"
