NOVEL NEXT Chapter 215 Golden Rooster
Mo Xia sent fruits from Damao Village and Baiyuan Village, and told Mao Xi that she had not found peach gum in the two villages.
"Ah Shu, my eldest brother Mo Feng found a cave in the back. I heard from him that there are some big peach trees nearby. Why don't you go there with me and have a look." Mo Xia suggested.
"Wait a minute, Brother Mo Feng loves chicken. I'll make a roast chicken and take it with you."
"Hey, wouldn't it be better to go directly to the mountain and bake it freshly?" Mo Xia helped Ma Xi pack the ingredients and pulled her out of the shop.
It had been a long time since I had gone to Biyou Cave to see the panda Huahua, so Mu Zhiyuan went with him.
Before going out, Mao Xi did not forget to tell Lou Lan'er: "Sister Lan'er, you can help me take the remaining fruits to the candy shop in a moment."
Ma Baili's talisman festival has been organized again, and he can help deliver the goods tomorrow, thanks to Mo Xia's help these days.
Everyone first went to the small cave entrance by the waterfall, where there was a ready-made stove.
Mo Xia helped Shu Xi prepare the ingredients to make roast chicken: "Ah Shu, do you want to make beggar's chicken?"
"Sister Mo Xia, let's have a different taste today. I will make the finale of the Taoist palace banquet: "Golden Chicken". "
She had already brought the chicken and ingredients from the shop.
The whole chicken is a free-range chicken raised at home. It is seven and a half weeks old. The skin is soft and the meat is tender and not spicy.
First marinate the whole chicken with Sichuan peppercorns, salt, green onion and ginger. After the water boils slightly in the pot, put the chicken into the water and blanch it repeatedly.
Add another pot of water, add peppercorns, green onions, sesame oil, and salt, put the chicken in and cook over low heat for a quarter of an hour, then simmer for another quarter of an hour, take it out and let it cool, then cut it into pieces and put it on the plate.
Pour the remaining soup from the chicken into a bowl, and pour some rice wine into another bowl to use as a dipping sauce for two plates.
This chicken soup has the aroma of sesame oil and salt, and also reveals the umami flavor of chicken. When dipped in some rice wine, the salty and sweet complement each other and make people salivate.
Mo Feng used to eat more beggar's chicken and roasted chicken, but Mao Xi's golden chicken is simple to make and doesn't require many ingredients, just Sichuan peppercorns and sesame oil.
"Sister Ah Miao, this golden chicken tastes really good. Although it's a little bland, it's really delicious."
"Brother Mo, thank you. I recreated this dish according to the recipe. If you like it crispier, you can put the cooked chicken in oil and cook it again."
"My place is very simple and I can't afford a frying pan. Your cooking method will do. Especially this bowl of rice wine dipping sauce. The combination of the wine and sesame oil taste is really amazing."
Mao Xi also brought a pot of rice wine, and everyone simply ate on the stone table. Mo Xia was still confused and said, "Brother, you don't know, Ah Mao's shop also sells curry chicken, and the taste is even better."
"Haha~ Then I have to go to your Liuxiang snacks to eat some other time."
After three drinks, Mo Feng took everyone to the peach forest next to the cave.
Peach gum is the gum condensed on peach trees. It can be collected from June onwards. It sticks to the branches like amber.
Now that peaches have just come out, there is not a lot of peach gum. It will not be until September when the peaches are off the market that there will be more peach gum.
Although there were not many peach gums in the forest, everyone still picked half a basket.
No wonder Dr. Song from the pharmacy said that peach gum is scarce these days and can be sold at a good price.
After the peach gum is cleaned, it must be dried in the sun to become dried peach gum for easy storage.
After collecting peach gum, everyone was preparing to leave the back slope of the cave. Shui Xi saw another scarce food on the rock wall.
"Brother Mo Feng, look! Are those bird's nests on those rock walls?"
Mo Feng didn't know that the bird's nests were edible ingredients, so he replied calmly: "Yes, those are indeed the nests of swallows. Why do you ask, Ah Shu, are you trying to dig out the eggs?"
"Brother Mo, that white swallow's nest is an extremely precious ingredient. It can be made into sugar water and tastes as delicate and smooth as white fungus vermicelli."
"Ah Shu, wait a minute. I'll collect some bird's nests for you right now." Mu Zhiyuan knew that these bird's nests were precious, so he climbed up the cliff to collect them because he was afraid that Shu Xi would climb to collect them if he got excited.
Mo Xia also became excited when she heard that this was an ingredient.
"Ah Shu, can these really be eaten as sugar water? This is not easy, I will pick a few back."
All three of them have excellent Qinggong. It is not difficult to pick bird's nests from the cliff.
I originally came here to pick peach gum, but I didn’t expect to get an unexpected harvest!
After Mao Xi got the bird's nest, he took it to the spring to wash it and carefully picked out the feathers and branches.
After panda Huahua had eaten her fill of bamboo shoots, she slowly moved to Mao Xi's side. When she saw the bird's nest in her hand, she thought it was something delicious and stretched out her hand to snatch it.
Mu Zhiyuan took out two freshly roasted sweet potatoes from the fire and broke them in half. The burnt aroma of the roasted sweet potatoes overflowed.
"Uh-huh--" Panda Huahua roared happily and excitedly twice, threw herself into Mu Zhiyuan's arms, and gnawed on the sweet potatoes.
Mao Xi only took away half of the bird's nests, leaving the rest for Mo Xia's brother and sister.
"Brother Mo Feng, you can just wash the bird's nest and stew it with sugar. You can also add some red dates or lotus seeds for seasoning. Sister Mo Xia, this bird's nest is a tonic to moisten the lungs and relieve cough. It can also nourish the skin."
After two days, the peach gum was dried in the sun, and the bird's nests were also dried in the shade. Mao Xi left some bird's nests for his mother-in-law, and took the rest to the medical bureau.
Medical Officer Song saw Mao Xi and hurriedly greeted him: "Shopkeeper Liu, did you bring peach gum or wild ginseng this time?"
Mao Xi opened the bag: "Medical Officer Song, I not only brought peach gum, but also bird's nest~"
Medical Officer Song saw that the bird's nest brought by Miao Xi was of excellent quality and bright white in color: "Shop Manager Miao Xi, your bird's nest has been carefully picked with feathers, branches and leaves. This head..." Medical Officer Song compared it with his palm. Generally large.
It happened that the palace was preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday recently, and there was an urgent need to purchase bird's nests. Medical Officer Song accepted the goods from Mao Xi at the price of one tael per bird's nest.
"Medical Officer Song, there isn't much peach gum right now, so I only picked these. You can keep them first."
Once the peach gum is dried, there is only half a bag.
Medical Officer Song took a scale and weighed it: "I will charge you two taels of silver for these. Shopkeeper Liu, you are running a shop and collecting medicinal materials. Are you going to open a branch shop recently?"
"With the auspicious words of Medical Officer Song, please come to the Tang Shui Shop to support me when you have time."
Mao Xi looked back and calculated. According to the current flow and the progress of collecting herbs and goods, after summer, she would have enough money to buy this Liuxiang snack.
In the evening, she opened the space again and used shopping coins to buy some kitchenware and tableware.
Kitchenware can only be used independently in the space. Currently, there are only creamers and mixers. Mao Xi also bought a large oven and steamer.
The level of the mall remains at the original L11 level and is still being upgraded.
Mao Xi spent some more shopping coins to buy some ingredients for making in the mall, spending a total of 2000 shopping coins.
She just clicked Confirm, and the mall prompted that the upgrade was successful.
*** L12 ***＜Upgrade successful＞
Unlocked: 100 palace banquet dishes.
