Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 209 Sister Xueting, I really envy you!
"This isn't a chicken, this is a bird!"

"Sister, that's wrong, it's a chicken!"

"..."

Five little girls gathered around the box, watching the golden eagles and discussing whether the two little golden eagles were little birds or chicks!

At this moment, the two little golden eagles had just opened their eyes. Apart from Chen Weidong, they seemed to have never seen so many people before. They were a little frightened for a moment and huddled up in the box.

After a while, Liu Xueting came over carrying Xiao Liu. Seeing the two golden eagle cubs, Xiao Liu immediately found something fun again. He struggled in Liu Xueting's arms, trying to catch the two golden eagle cubs.

Chen Weidong reached out and took Xiaoliu, letting his daughter sit on his lap and watch him teasing the golden eagle cub.

"Dad! Is this a bird or a chick?!" Sanni asked in a baby voice.

"This is not a bird, nor a chicken, it's an eagle! And it's a golden eagle!"

"Ah! Is that the big eagle? Why is it so small? Will it bite people?"

Wu Ni opened her arms and made the gesture of an eagle spreading its wings.

"No, but you can't touch me!"

"Dad, can you let me raise one? Third sister, you've already raised a little fox!"

Si Ni said in a baby voice that the little fox didn't like her and now she was thinking about the golden eagle cub.

You have to know that Da Ni and Er Ni have to go to school, so when Chen Weidong is not at home, the six little foxes are mostly taken care of by San Ni.

Sanni is very meticulous, especially when taking care of small animals and children. She is full of love and patience, which is why the little foxes like her so much.

"Do you want to raise it? Do you know how to raise it? The little golden eagle needs to eat meat every day. You can't feed it too much meat, every day..." said Chen Weidong.

When Si Ni heard this, she was overwhelmed and waved her hands quickly, saying, "Dad, I'd better not raise the baby. I'd better let Third Sister raise it. Third Sister is more patient than I am."

Chen Weidong laughed, and before he could say anything, Sanni patted her chest and assured in a baby voice, "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of them."

“Haha…” Chen Weidong laughed: “Dad didn’t say I’ll let you raise them. The six little foxes at home are enough for you to take care of! Dad will raise these golden eagle cubs himself. Dad will also train them and take them hunting together in the future!”

After hearing what Chen Weidong said, the girls stopped arguing and followed Da Ni and Er Ni to go to school.

Chen Weidong looked at it with the little girls for a while, then put the box on the beam again and left the house with the children.

At this time, Li Shengli came to Chen Weidong's house carrying a slaughtered old hen.

"Brother Victory is here!"

"Well, your sister-in-law killed two old hens. Let me bring one over for you to try!"

Li Shengli said.

"Brother Shengli, you're here just like that! Why bring an old hen? We have one at home! You're too polite." Liu Xueting came out and said politely at this time.

"Yes! Didn't they kill him? Give it to the children! Take it quickly!"

"Forget it, Xueting, take it! This is a gift from Brother Shengli and Sister-in-law!"

Chen Weidong smiled, and then said to Li Shengli: "Brother Shengli, I have killed the green goat! You can choose first later, Brother Shengli.

"Row!"

Li Shengli didn't hesitate and picked up a few pieces of mutton.

This time, a green goat produced about 40 to 50 kilograms of meat, and Chen Weidong and his three companions each got about 10 kilograms of meat.

"Weidong! Let me tell you, this old hen and green goat stewed together taste delicious!"

Li Shengli reminded.

"I don't know what to eat for lunch. I'll use the goat bones and an old hen to make a pot of soup!"

"Okay, then I won't stay any longer. I have to go home and see you. When you want to make deer antler glue, just ask someone to call me!" Li Shengli said a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Ok!"

After seeing Li Shengli off, considering that stewing the old hen was time-consuming, Chen Weidong washed his hands and began to prepare the broth, with Liu Xueting helping him.

After Chen Weidong washed the sheep bones, he soaked them in a basin. Then he washed the old hen, chopped it into several pieces, put them in the basin, and soaked them in cold water.

After soaking in the bleeding water, put it in the pot, add water, then add onions, ginger, star anise, peppercorns, and cinnamon, and light the fire to boil the water.

After the water in the pot boils, slowly skim off the blood foam, then simmer over high heat.

This is a kung fu job.

It just takes a little longer.

Chen Weidong asked Liu Xueting to put firewood into the stove. There was no need for two people to watch, and they walked out of the kitchen.

Just at this moment, Yang Hongxiu and Zheng Xiaofang came in arm in arm, holding baskets full of scissors and fabrics.

"Brother Weidong, Sister Xueting, let's come over and use the sewing machine. It's not too much trouble, is it?"

"My sister-in-law is here. Come in and sit down! It's not a bother!" Liu Xueting let the two of them in.

"Really? That's great, thank you sister-in-law," Zheng Xiaofang shouted in surprise, covering her mouth.

"Haha, you three sisters can chat! I'll go check on the pot!" Chen Weidong thought they were here to get the meat, but when he saw they were here to use the sewing machine, he turned around and walked out.

Leave space to three women, I believe they have a lot of women's topics to talk about.

In fact, it would be good for their wives if they talked more together! Liu Xueting didn't have many friends to talk to in the village.

After leaving the kitchen, Chen Weidong came to the farm again.

Looking at the two little deer, they have grown a lot bigger and are very strong!
There was also a group of musk deer running in the fence! The pregnant musk deer was about to give birth! Watching a group of musk deer running around in the fence was quite relaxing. As for the dogs guarding the farm, they had already been circling around Chen Weidong when he arrived.

After staying at the farm for a while, Chen Weidong turned around and went to the front yard, walked into the kitchen and looked at the fire under the pot.

He opened the lid again and looked at the soup in the pot.

It was steaming gurglingly inside.

Of course, there is also the aroma of meat bones and old hens.

When Chen Weidong was removing the bones, he deliberately left a lot of meat on the bones.

These meaty bones are just right to eat at noon.

Even the old hen can be fished out and eaten.

Looking at the time, the children were about to finish school, so Chen Weidong washed his hands and started kneading the dough.

At noon, Chen Weidong prepared some scallion pancakes to entertain Bingzi and Shitou's wife.

After kneading the dough, Chen Weidong took out some vermicelli from the storage room, washed it, and soaked it in water.

I took two more green onions, peeled them, and chopped them into chopped green onions, which will be used when making pancakes later.

The kneaded dough needs to be left to rise for a while before it can be made into delicious pancakes. For a moment, Chen Weidong had nothing to do as the four little girls had all gone out to play. Chen Weidong simply cut a small piece of meat and went to the kang room.

Hearing the noise, the two chicks once again opened their mouths, raised their heads, and started quacking.

Baby birds should not be fed too much at one time, but they should be fed every two or three hours.

Cut the mutton into small shreds and feed them to the two golden eagles respectively.

After feeding the golden eagle, Chen Weidong came out!

Glancing at the three happy women, Chen Weidong smiled and said, "Don't leave at noon. I'll treat you to old hen soup and scallion pancakes."

"Brother Weidong, if you have any work to do, we can help you with it." Yang Hongxiu said.

"No need, you guys just chat, there's not much work, I can do it by myself." Chen Weidong said.

Then Chen Weidong stroked a few more little foxes. After a while, the noodles were almost ready. Chen Weidong washed his hands, walked into the kitchen, and started to work. He lit another pot and let it dry.

Then quickly roll the dough into a pancake, sprinkle with chopped green onion, apply some oil, then roll the dough into a pancake again, and a semi-finished scallion pancake is ready.

At this time, the pot was also heated up. Chen Weidong added some bear oil to the pot and waited for the bear oil to melt before putting the scallion pancake into the pot...

"Sister-in-law Xueting, I really envy you. Brother Weidong is so amazing. He can do everything, even cook." Zheng Xiaofang and Yang Hongxiu said to Liu Xueting enviously.

"Yeah! He likes to think about food and cooks better than me." Liu Xueting said proudly.

"Or say it, Sister Xueting, you found a good man, powerful and considerate."

"Haha, Bingzi and Shitou are all good people, hardworking and down-to-earth."

Liu Xueting felt very happy that she was happier when others praised her man than when they praised herself.

Chen Weidong was busy in the kitchen. He first made all the scallion pancakes, then cut them into eight pieces with a knife and put them in a basket.

"Dad, Mom, we're back!"

"Mom, it smells so good!"

"~"

With a greeting, the six little girls returned home. When they smelled the fragrance, they all ran to the kitchen.

"Dad, you're cooking!"

"Hehe, what did Dad do?"

"My dad made chicken soup. By the way, your Aunt Hongxiu and Aunt Xiaofang are eating here today! Go and say hello!"

Chen Weidong said.

"it is good!"

The little girls ran over again in a crowd.

Si Ni runs the fastest and has the sweetest mouth. She never forgets to show off herself. Her voice has already spread before she arrives.

"Oh, Dani, Erni, go talk to Uncle Shitou and Uncle Bingzi and ask them if they want to come and eat!"

Chen Weidong gave another warning and then opened the lid of the pot. The broth had been cooking for almost the entire morning and was ready. First, take out half of the old hen and set it aside for later use.

Then scoop out a dozen spoons of broth from the pot and pour it into the pot where you just made pancakes.

Take out the vermicelli, drain the water, put it into the pot, and wait for the pot to boil.

Beat a few more eggs, stir well, and pour them into the pot.

After washing his hands again, Chen Weidong tore half an old hen into shredded meat and put it in the pot.

A simple yet hearty lunch is ready, and the broth with vermicelli is scooped into a bowl.

He poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted outside, "Xueting, it's time to eat. Come over and help bring the food into the house."

Chen Weidong took out some pickles from the pickle jar, washed them, and put them on a plate.

"Sister-in-law, let me do it!" Zheng Xiaofang said as she walked into the kitchen and couldn't help but praise, "It smells so good!"
