Chapter 4 Chicken Stew with Mushrooms

Chen Ping said a few words to the old lady on the kang in the house, but she didn't say much. It probably meant that she got lost up the mountain and came here, wanting to rest her brother's feet and ask for something to eat.

"Chengzi, kill a chicken and stew it with some mushrooms. I think my daughter is very hungry."

After hearing what happened to Chen Ping, the old lady on the kang saw how hungry and tired Chen Ping was, and she was giving instructions to her grandson, who was also Chen Ping's male god, Chengzi—Liu Cheng.

"Hey, I'm going right now."

Liu Cheng readily agreed, and then went to work.

"No need, I'll just take care of my mouth."

Chen Ping was a little embarrassed. Although people's conditions are better now, she sees that the house in this village is dilapidated and the clothes she wears are also old.Both Liu Cheng and the old lady were wearing coarse cloth clothes. No one would pick up these clothes when they were thrown in the city. Even in the countryside, she had never seen anyone wear them. The style was too old-fashioned.She estimated that in the 60s and [-]s, she didn't have such rustic clothes.

Under such circumstances, they would kill a chicken for her, and cook the chicken with stewed mushrooms. You must know that this stewed chicken with mushrooms is a dish for entertaining distinguished guests.Even in the village where she was staying, that chicken was sold for [-] to [-] yuan, and if it was killed and stewed, it would cost [-] yuan. She didn't know anyone, so she was ashamed!
Although she wanted to eat it very much, and the stewed chicken with mushrooms had flashed in her mind many times before, but she, Chen Ping, was sensible and didn't want to burden others.

"It's okay, girl, take your seat. When you get home, you are a guest, and you can do it there. In our house, if nothing else, you have to feed your girl."

The old grandma saw Chen Ping's embarrassment, and smiled kindly. The people of their village are simple and honest. Although she didn't know Chen Ping, it was fate that Chen Ping came to her house when she encountered difficulties. They had to treat her well. .

"Then thank you grandma, I'll go and help brother Chengzi cook."

Chen Ping thanked her and offered to help.

"No, take it easy, your big brother Chengzi is not bad at cooking, you can try it later, his cooking is delicious."

The old lady held Chen Ping's hand and did not let her move.

Chen Ping didn't take back her hand, although the old grandma's hands were rough and thin and scary, but Chen Ping felt kind.

Liu Cheng was very quick. He went to the yard to catch a chicken, bled the chicken, shaved the hair with hot water in a large iron pot, took out the internal organs, and chopped them into pieces.

Chen Ping didn't know what to do next, anyway, she didn't hear too much noise, including when Liu Cheng was catching the chicken, she didn't hear two cock crows.

While stewing the chicken, Chen Ping chatted with the old lady, and she also knew that the old lady's surname was Ma. They lived in a small village, with a total of about twenty families.Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are mushrooms in the front of the mountain and behind the mountain. There are many people, and sometimes it is not rare to pick them, so everyone calls this village the Mushroom Village.

They have a big town called Taoyuan Town, which is the best place for them. There are a lot of good things there. Usually, if they need it, they will go to the town to change it.

There are five villages under Taoyuan Town, Mushroom Village is a relatively small village, and some of the larger villages have a hundred or so households.

The bigger the village, the better their living conditions.

These villages are willing to marry their daughters to towns. Of course, it is difficult to marry to towns. Apart from towns, they are also willing to marry their daughters to big villages, so life will be easier.

Few people in Mushroom Village would choose, and it would be more difficult for a young man to marry a wife.

After hearing this, Chen Ping felt a little strange. She had never heard of this Taoyuan Town, and there are very few towns called it now.

But Taoyuan Town, why is the name so familiar?
She must have heard it before, and she heard it recently, otherwise it would be impossible for her to feel so familiar with her memory.

Where did you hear it?

Chen Ping was thinking, her heart was startled suddenly, she saw the disappearing stone tablet that appeared in her palm, didn't it say Taoyuan Town?
Chen Ping suddenly felt a little cold. Could it be that she is not seeing someone now?Was it the stone tablet that changed?
But before she got scared, Grandma Ma's laughter came, and the male god Liu Cheng began to serve food on the kang table.

A large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

This is stewed in a large iron pot in the countryside, and the fire is firewood, which is different from the taste of those battery stoves and gas stoves in the city.

The chicks are domesticated, and they grow up eating food or worms. The texture of the meat is incomparable to those instant chickens in the city.

Eat or not?
eat it?Chen Ping was still a little scared in her heart. She was afraid that the people in front of her were spirits. It didn't mean that the more spirits they transformed, the more beautiful and kind they would be. Only in this way could people be fooled.

It is usually beautiful women who seduce, seduce, and people, but I am a woman, so a male god will come out, let myself be fooled.

Didn't they put something in this chicken stew with mushrooms, and they would faint when they ate it, and then they ate themselves again?
Chen Ping's mind was full of such thoughts.

Can you not eat?Right now, I am starving, and I don't know where I am. If I don't eat, I am afraid that I will starve to death in less than three days.

Forget it, even if you die, you have to be a dead ghost.There are such delicious dishes, and there are eye-catching male gods, let's talk about it after eating.

Invited by Grandma Ma, Chen Ping unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and picked up the chicken to eat. The aroma of the chicken itself was added with the freshness of the mushrooms, which became a fresh aroma. This aroma opened the pores of her whole body .

Chen Ping usually eats stewed chicken with mushrooms. After all, this is a famous dish on their side. Although the usual food is delicious, it can't compare with the one in front of me.

Chen Ping knew that all the chickens in the city were raised, and that kind of chicken didn't taste like chicken.In the village, every family raises chickens. Although they also feed grain, they also feed fodder. Like pigs, they are mixed and fed.

Many people say that it is a stupid pig, but it is actually fed for fodder. It is only fed with soybeans in the last few months. Although the taste of this kind of pork is better than that of the city, it is not authentic.

And the chicken she ate today should be pure grain and worms, not fed feed, so it feels different, the difference in meat quality, she tasted it in one bite, it really makes people want to eat it again.

The mushrooms are also fresh and fragrant, absorbing the flavor of the chicken, once you bite into it, you will be delighted, not to mention how delicious it is.

Chen Ping didn't want to stop her chopsticks when she ate, but she saw Liu Cheng standing there and looked at him twice, then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey, hey, brother, wait a minute."

Chen Ping hurriedly swallowed the chicken and shouted.

"Girl, eat quickly, don't worry about the success."

Grandma Ma said with a smile.

"Brother, sit down and eat together."

Chen Ping greeted, because she came and made the male god unable to eat, she felt very sorry.

Besides, in some places here, women have the habit of not going to the table and eating in the kitchen.But Liu Cheng is a man, there is no such thing as saying.Could it be because I am a young girl and I am afraid that others will gossip?

"No need, you eat."

Liu Cheng smiled, his eyes were clear, and there was no reluctance on his face.
