Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

Chapter 233 Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms

When they heard that Geng Changshuo's family was going to have a dinner party, several company commanders immediately became excited.

"Lao Geng, your family is treating us to a meal tomorrow night, so I won't eat from tomorrow morning on, and will enjoy your feast on an empty stomach." The company commander said with a smile.

"It's up to you. As long as you are not afraid of being hungry, you can skip meals from now on." Geng Changshuo joked.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, I'm not afraid of being hungry. I won't eat from now on." said the second company commander.

"Okay, I'll ask your sister-in-law to prepare some delicious food."

"I want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. Tell my sister-in-law, don't forget."

"You kid, you even ordered food."

After lunch the next day, Wei Yuchen started to get busy.

When Liu Chunmei heard the noise, she went over and knocked on the door: "Chenchen, are you going to start getting ready now? I happen to be free, I'll come and help you."

Wei Yuchen quickly invited the person in: "Thank you, sister-in-law. It really helped me a lot to come here."

"What's the big deal? I'm just sitting around doing nothing at home." Liu Chunmei helped Wei Yuchen peel potatoes while chatting with him:

"Sister, your man is considerate. I often see him helping you cook and wash clothes. He is not like my husband, Old Xu. When he gets home, he doesn't even help when the oil bottle falls over."

"No way. I heard from my Changshuo that when we eat out, Political Commissar Xu will always bring you a portion."

Wei Yuchen returned the favor and started a business relationship with Liu Chunmei.

Although Liu Chunmei said she disliked Political Commissar Xu, she was actually proud of him in her heart. Unfortunately, when she talked to others, it was difficult for them to understand her. After being exposed by Wei Yuchen today, she couldn't help but get closer to Wei Yuchen and talked more frequently:

"My old Xu has only this advantage. He can't think of anything normally. Unlike your little Geng, he has a lot of things in his mind and you don't have to worry about anything..."

Geng Changshuo, who had taken leave to go home, had just walked to the door and listened to the conversation between the two women. He couldn't help but smile.

He was just worried that his wife wouldn't know how to deal with people, so he took a leave of absence and rushed over to help. Now it seems that he was just worrying about nothing.

His wife is intelligent and kind-hearted. If she really wants to make friends with someone, there is nothing she can't get!

Because they were hosting a dinner party, the door of Geng Changshuo's house was only half-closed. Geng Changshuo pushed the door open, walked up to the two of them, glanced at them, and went to the kitchen. After a while, the sound of ping-pong was heard from the kitchen.

"Xiao Geng, are you chopping meat?" Liu Chunmei asked.

"Well, we are going to make a chicken stew with mushrooms and a spicy rabbit dish. We need to chop the meat first."

"It seems like I'm in for a treat." Liu Chunmei said.

"You're right, sister-in-law. I'm not bragging, but my cooking skills are pretty good." Wei Yuchen said deliberately.

"Really?" Liu Chunmei didn't believe it.

Wei Yuchen comes from the countryside. Not to mention the shortage of supplies in the countryside, most rural girls are discriminated against by their families. There is endless work to do every day. How could Wei Yuchen have time to study cooking?

"Really! If you don't believe me, you can ask my Geng Changshuo." Wen Yuchen pushed Geng Changshuo out.

"Sister-in-law, she didn't lie. My Chenchen's cooking is really delicious." Geng Changshuo took the initiative to stand up and testify without Liu Chunmei asking.

Seeing Geng Changshuo's earnest look, Liu Chunmei couldn't help but smile at Wei Yuchen, blinked, and whispered: "Xiao Geng is sick, his wife is in charge."

Wei Yuchen also winked at Liu Chunmei and said four words: "Same here."

…… …… ……

The ingredients have been prepared and it’s almost time to get off work.

In order to speed up, Wei Yuchen used both the coal stove and the earthen stove.

Despite this, Wei Yuchen and Liu Chunmei still cooked calmly and slowly, and Geng Changshuo was also not in a hurry and did not appear to be in a hurry.

The first dish they made was chicken stewed with mushrooms.

In order to make this dish delicious, Wei Yuchen chose to use an earthen stove.

The ingredients had been prepared long ago. Wei Yuchen only had to pour cold water into the pot, put the chopped local chicken into the pot, boil the water over high heat for a few minutes, skim off the floating foam, and remove the chicken pieces to drain the water.

Next, she poured rapeseed oil into the pot, heated it until it started to smoke, and then added scallion, garlic, ginger, star anise, and dried chili peppers, and sautéed until fragrant. She then poured the drained chicken into the pot and stir-fried until the surface of the chicken was slightly charred. She then poured soy sauce and pepper powder on the chicken and stir-fried until it was evenly cooked.

Next, she spread the soaked hazel mushrooms on top of the chicken pieces, poured the water used to soak the hazel mushrooms into the pot, and added salt to season.

Finally, she added more firewood to the stove and continued to simmer the food, while she went to the coal stove to fry other dishes.

After she prepared the other dishes and served them on the plate, the chicken stewed with mushrooms was also ready. At this time, the chicken pieces were soft and rotten, the mushrooms were smooth and tender, and the rich aroma filled the air, making people want to taste it.

The aroma of chicken stewed with mushrooms was very overbearing. The guests invited by Geng Changshuo smelled the rich fragrance early on and couldn't help but quicken their pace.

The captain's eyes lit up, and he said to the battalion commander with a smile: "We are finally here today. I didn't expect the meal cooked by Geng's sister-in-law would be so delicious. Oh, let's go faster, my mouth is watering."

The commander of the second company was from the Northeast. He felt that the smell was very familiar. He nodded involuntarily and said, "Yes, I haven't smelled this smell for a long time. This is the smell of chicken stewed with mushrooms that I like."

The company commander of the third company said nothing, but just quickened his pace and rushed towards Geng Changshuo's house.
