The red mushroom soup turns pink when cooked.
While listening to Chen Wanling’s complaints, Chen Wanbai walked towards the chicken coop next to the firewood pile.
She opened the cage and reached out to grab the largest pheasant.
The pheasant fluttered a few times and made several uneasy cries, but it still did not escape Chen Wanbai's clutches.
She grabbed the pheasant and walked out of the kitchen, standing at the door of the kitchen. Press the wings and legs of the pheasant with your left hand, pick up a sharp knife with your right hand, and skillfully slash the pheasant's neck.
Bright red blood dripped into the bowl she had prepared in advance.
Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling watched silently and swallowed. This means they have meat for lunch.
After the chicken blood was drained, Chen Wanbai brought a wooden bucket and scalded the pheasant with boiling water. After soaking for a while, pick up the pheasant and quickly pluck the feathers.
Then, she cut open the belly of the chicken, took out the internal organs, and cleaned them carefully. She put the washed chicken on the cutting board and chopped it in half with a knife.
She chopped half of the pheasant into pieces and set them aside.
Then she took out the red mushrooms she picked up in the morning, cleaned them one by one, and cut them into slices for later use.
Chen Wanbai lit firewood on the stove, placed a large clay pot on the stove, and poured water into it.
The water soon began to bubble. Chen Wanbai put the other half of the pheasant into the jar and began to blanch it to remove blood foam and impurities. When the water boiled again, she quickly took out the chicken pieces and put them in a basin nearby.
Then, she poured an appropriate amount of water into the clay pot, added a few pieces of ginger, and after the water boiled, she put half of the pheasant and red mushrooms into the pot.
The rich aroma spread quickly. Chen Wanbai added some salt and a few red dates, closed the lid and let the chicken soup simmer slowly.
While simmering chicken soup, Chen Wanbai was not idle. She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to steam rice.
She first washed the iron pot, added an appropriate amount of water, placed it on the stove, and then lit the firewood.
When the water boiled slightly, Chen Wanbai took out the washed rice and poured it gently into the pot. She stirred the rice in the pot with bamboo chopsticks so that the rice grains could be heated evenly. After boiling for a while, she quickly picked it up and drained the rice soup.
Then, she took out the washed wooden bucket and spread a piece of clean gauze on the bottom of the bucket. Spread the cooked rice grains evenly on the gauze, and then use chopsticks to poke a few small holes in the rice grains so that steam can pass through smoothly.
Chen Wanbai carefully placed the wooden barrel into the iron pot and placed it firmly above the water. Covering the pot, she added more firewood to the stove, controlling the heat to keep the fire stable and even.
After the rice was steamed in the pot, Chen Wanbai went to prepare other ingredients.
Wild amaranth Chen Wanrong has been cleaned and cut, and is placed in the basket, just waiting to be put into the pot.
There is still half of the chicken nuggets, which Chen Wanbai plans to make into braised chicken nuggets. Calculating in my mind, two dishes and one soup. It is really a bit used to entertain guests.
Although this kind of standard treatment is already very high-end here, Chen Wanbai comes from modern times after all.
Not to mention seven or eight dishes, but for four people to eat, four plates are essential.
Thinking of this, she raised her feet and prepared to go out.
As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she turned back again. He said to sisters Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling:
"Sister Erya, please help me wash a handful of wild onions, chop them up and put them away. I will use them later."
"Three Sister, please help me look after the fire. When it’s time to add more wood or reduce it, you should control it.” After saying that, she opened the lid of the clay pot and stirred it gently with a spoon. A few times.
"There is also this can of chicken soup that needs to be stirred. I'm going out for a while."

While the chicken soup is simmering, you need to stir to ensure that the chicken pieces and red mushrooms are evenly heated.
Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling nodded in agreement.
Chen Wanbai hurried to the small ditch not far away and found the fish cage he had placed.
She pulled out the fish cage, opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. It was quite a harvest, and there were a lot of small fish and shrimps in it.
In addition to the common catfish and small white stripes, there are also some wheatear fish, gobies, and a few plump river shrimps.
She poured these lively little fish and shrimps into the bamboo basket, carried them back to the kitchen, and decided to use them to make a delicious fish stew.
She first cleaned the small fish and shrimp, put them in a dustpan aside, and let them drain.
At this moment, rice and chicken soup were still simmering on the pot, and there were only two burners on the stove. In desperation, she had to stop her work temporarily.
The stove was blazing, but there was no free burner, so she simply turned around to do other things.
She poured the fungi she collected in the morning on the ground and began to sort and screen them.
Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling also came forward and offered to help.
"Si Ya, do you want to sell these fungi in the town?" Chen Wanrong asked.
"Well, pick some that look good and sell them in the town tomorrow." Chen Wanbai's men kept answering Chen Wanrong's words.
Chen Wanbai first selected the intact and high-quality mushrooms and placed them in a bamboo basket aside.
In order to ensure that the fungi would remain fresh and not rotten the next day, she took some clean straw and gently spread it on the bottom of the basket to increase moisture and reduce collision, and then neatly arranged the selected fungi. Put the ground code on it.
Then, she found a clean wet cloth, dipped the wet cloth in water, wrung it out, and covered it with water.On top of the mushrooms to maintain their humidity and freshness.
Finally, place the bamboo basket in a cool and ventilated place.
Seeing Chen Wanbai working skillfully, Chen Wanrong bit her lips, her eyes flickered, and her hands kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes, as if she was hesitant to speak.
From time to time, she secretly glanced at Chen Wan Bai, then quickly lowered her head.
Finally, she seemed to have mustered up the courage, raised her head, with a hint of embarrassing blush on her face, and said softly: "Siya, um... I, I want to ask you for something."
Chen Wanbai stopped what he was doing and looked at her in confusion: "Sister Erya, what's wrong? Just tell me."
Chen Wanrong took a deep breath and stammered Said: "I also have a lot of fungi in this basket. I think...I want you to help me sell them together. It's a little money if I can sell them. I'll just pick some up and give them to the nurse when I get home."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Wanbai nervously, her eyes full of expectation and uneasiness.
After all, the relationship was broken off now, and she didn’t know whether Siya would recognize them or not.
When Chen Wanbai heard Chen Wanrong's request, he was slightly startled and stopped picking up the broken fungi in his hands. She raised her head and looked straight at Chen Wanrong, with a trace of surprise in her eyes.
Then, she seemed to suddenly understand the reason. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, broke into a friendly smile, and said, "Sister Erya, what's so embarrassing about this? You can just tell me directly. "
"Although I am no longer related to the Chen family, you and Sanya are still my sisters, and our sisterly relationship will not change. "
In the past, Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanling helped. The original owner has a lot of space, and they often save some food from their own mouths and give it to the original owner. Including after she arrived, the two of them helped him a lot.
So she still has to recognize these two sisters.
