Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Can a city girl scald a chicken and pluck it out so neatly?

Xu Wanning didn't know what these people were thinking, so after marinating the plucked chicken, she put it aside for later use.

She picked through a pile of wild mushrooms and finally used hazel mushrooms. The traditional way of stewing chicken and mushrooms is to use dried hazelnut mushrooms to stew them, so that the hazelnut mushrooms can be more flavorful and chewy.

But Xu Wanning chose fresh hazel mushrooms and soaked them in salt water.

Accountant Xu saw Xu Wanning adding a lot of salt to a basin of water. He swallowed hard and whispered: "Xu Zhiqing, this salt is very valuable. You have to use salt stamps to buy it, so I just use it to soak mushrooms, right?" Some are too messed up.”

"Accountant Xu, don't worry. The salt water used to soak the mushrooms will not be wasted. It will be used to stew the soup later."

Accountant Xu wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the team leader.

"Since the matter of taking over the feast has been left to Xu Zhiqing, let's do it according to her method."

After all the preparations were done, Xu Wanning started cooking.

She first poured the soybean oil prepared in advance into the pot. After the oil was hot, she added star anise, cinnamon and scallions in sequence.

It is reasonable to add ginger slices and bay leaves, but these two items are temporarily unavailable, so I can only omit them.

After all the seasonings were fragrant, Xu Wanning added the chopped chicken and stir-fried over low heat until the chicken turned slightly yellow.

The team captain and several others stood at the door of the kitchen and saw Xu Wanning putting the ingredients in one by one. The steps were obviously similar to those of his family, but the fragrance emanating was completely incomparable.

The chicken stewed with mushrooms hasn't been eaten yet, but the fragrance filling the air is extremely tempting. Even just taking a breath of the air mixed with this fragrance will make people salivate.

"Xu Zhiqing, how long will it take for you to recover?" Accountant Xu rubbed his hands and asked impatiently.

"I guess it will take another two hours to simmer it." Without a pressure cooker, I can only stew it in the most primitive way. In order to add more flavor, the heat must be right.

While waiting, Xu Wanning made pork stewed vermicelli, pot pork and white meat casserole.

Accountant Xu bought the casserole in the town for three yuan according to the shopping list given by Xu Wanning. Because of this expenditure, several other village cadres complained, but they were suppressed by the captain and the village chief.

The first thing Xu Wanning made was pork stewed vermicelli. She only added [-] taels of pork to enhance the flavor. The bottom of the pot was mostly vermicelli and Chinese cabbage.

"This is my first time making pork stewed vermicelli since I came to Dajiang Village. I don't know how it tastes. You guys can try it for me."

She didn't lie. This was indeed the first time she had made it since she came to Dajiang Village. The woman who had won the King of Kitchen Competition several times in her previous life was no longer the same person she is now!

The village chief was the first to take a chopstick. After taking a bite, he felt that there was nothing special about it, but the speed at which he took down his chopsticks was obviously much faster.

"Xu Zhiqing, when you made this pork stewed vermicelli just now, we stood on the side and watched. There was nothing special about it. Why does it taste so good?"

He couldn't find a suitable word to describe the taste of this dish in his limited vocabulary. He could only say that it was delicious.

It tasted better than anything he had ever tasted before!

Once you take one bite, you can't help but want to take a second and third bite.

The team leader and Accountant Xu didn't speak, they just picked up vegetables and ate in silence. When the village chief reacted, the large bowl of vermicelli was almost empty.

"It's really weird. There are only a few pieces of meat in it, but the vermicelli and Chinese cabbage seem to have a meaty flavor. The taste is so authentic, it's even more delicious than what the chefs at state-owned restaurants cook!"

Accountant Xu stared at the pot of pork and white meat in casserole.

Guobaorou is also a famous snack in Heilongjiang Province. Everyone here has eaten it several times, but again, the taste is not the same as what they have eaten before.

The taste is still the same, but something is different, which makes it extra delicious.

"Don't waste this soup. It just so happens that my mother-in-law steamed black noodle steamed buns today. I'll use it to soak the steamed buns and eat them."

"Leave some for me and I'll take it back to cook noodles for dinner."

Xu Wanning watched several people vying for the soup for stewing pork vermicelli, smiled, and brought out the casserole with white meat.

The white meat casserole uses real pork belly.

Accountant Xu didn't buy much meat and had to reserve it for tomorrow, so Xu Wanning took advantage of the few people not paying attention and quietly transferred some pork belly out of the space.

The space can preserve freshness and automatically replenish supplies, so she doesn't feel distressed at all.

However, the amount taken out was not too much to avoid being noticed by others and difficult to explain.

"You guys eat first, I'll go take a look at what's stewed in the pot."

When Xu Wanning came out with the stewed chicken and mushrooms, she only saw an empty casserole.

Not a single bit was left behind!

Xu Wanning didn't care and put the chicken stewed with mushrooms on the table.

The captain took a sharp breath and said with a smile, "That's what it smells like!"

This time, I don’t know if it was negotiated, but everyone ate with restraint, and basically only had hazelnut mushrooms, and the chicken was not touched at all.

"Is this chicken not stewed properly? How about I take it back and simmer it again?" Xu Wanning frowned secretly.

Although she has never used this kind of stove, she can't even control the heat, right?

Yang Suhua, the women's director, pulled Xu Wanning to sit down next to her and said with a smile: "This is what we specially left for you. You see, you have been busy all day and don't even care about the children at home. Take it back when you leave later. Give the kids a touch up.”

Xu Wanning laughed dumbly and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but no, I still have several chickens and ducks at home. If the children want to eat, I can make them for them at any time. Please try this chicken quickly. If it is too Firewood so that I can regain control of the fire.”

Hearing what Xu Wanning said, several village cadres looked at each other. Even though they knew it was inappropriate, they still couldn't resist the tempting taste. Each took a chopstick and gave a fair evaluation.

"good to eat!"

"The heat is so good that it will easily fall off the bones but not the firewood."

“And the chicken is also very tasty, delicious!”

Several village cadres each held a chopstick in a tacit agreement and stopped moving.

Still defaulting to taking the rest back to Xu Wanning.

Xu Wanning wanted to refuse, but she saw a circle of children climbing on the wall outside the brigade headquarters and said, "How about this? I'll add some hazelnut mushrooms and make a pot out for the children to eat."

These days, every household has several children, but there are only so many rations, and there is a certain amount given to the children.

Therefore, there are really not many children who have eaten good food.
