At the stove, Xu Chen opened the earthen pot in which the pheasant was stewed, took out a piece with chopsticks and tasted it, then poured a large bowl of fresh mushrooms into it, covered it with a clay lid and continued to simmer.
Pheasant meat is very fragrant, but not easy to stew.
From the time I went back to the mountain to the time when the sun went down, I stewed it for more than an hour and it was not fully cooked, so I could barely eat it.
In addition, there is no salt, so the taste is quite different.
This is a huge regret.
Watching Xu Chen pour a large bowl of mushrooms into the earthen jar, there was a loud exclamation in front of the cave.
Many people looked at the earthen pot of chicken stew with a sense of panic.
Xu Chen didn't care at all and just stayed by the stove waiting for the dinner to begin.
He was sure that he was not wrong, just like he was not wrong about the medicinal materials such as Tianqi and Chonglou.
No matter in terms of shape, appearance, taste or growth environment, they are exactly the same as the wild shiitake mushrooms I once knew, so this is definitely a shiitake mushroom, and it is the best one among them.
It was impossible to eat wild flower mushrooms of this quality before.
Only in this barbaric primitive era can he have a full meal.
As for the possibility of being poisoned, he has repeatedly calculated it in his mind, and the chance is less than 10%.
Such a small chance, for mushroom lovers in Yunnan, is completely synonymous with non-toxic.
"Yo ho ho ho..."
When meal time arrived, Mother put down the burlap in her hand and began to call the family members to start the meal as usual.
But today is a little weird.
A large group of men, women and children all approached the fire pit tiptoeing with fear and fear, and collectively avoided the position near the stove.
A group of cooking women were busy distributing food. They also came and went at a distance from the crock pot of chicken stew. They seemed to hold their breath every time they passed by, as if they were afraid of being poisoned by the strong aroma.
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he stayed beside the earthen pot with great contentment. He didn't open the earthen pot until all the descendants had received the food and sat down in a row to eat.
As a stream of hot air rose from the clay pot, a stronger fragrance instantly filled the entire cave entrance.
"Gudong~"
Xu Chen couldn't help but shrugged his Adam's apple and slid to unlock the saliva mode.
The group of men, women, and children who were eating were obviously all paying attention to him, and many people pinched their throats in fear.
Muba and several older women put down their chopsticks nervously.
Seeing Xu Chen taking out a piece of mushroom from the earthen pot and preparing to eat it, Mother still couldn't help but stood up to stop her.
"Dou Ga!"
"Du Ga Du Ga~"
Suddenly, everyone in the fire pit nodded.
"taste!"
Xu Chen pointed at the mushroom on the chopsticks, made a small gesture, and then took a small bite in full view of everyone.
The meat is tender, soft and delicious, and it is hot with a natural aroma that has never been tasted before.
Although there is not a grain of salt, the pheasant itself has a very light fishy saltiness, and the turmeric covers up the fishy smell. In addition, the various amino acids rich in shiitake mushrooms make it fresh. This small bite is what Xu Chen ate after traveling through time.
One of the most delicious foods ever.
“Sou Ga~~”
Chewing slowly and finally swallowing, Xu Chen couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration.
At this moment, except for these two most primitive languages, he could not find any words to describe his feelings at this moment.
Pheasant, wild mushrooms, wild ginger, a completely original wild flavor. Except for the earthen pot, there is no element beyond nature.
Even the pair of chopsticks in my hands are wild.
Two simple wooden sticks, and they are not the same length.
Under the complicated looks of everyone, Xu Chen threw a whole piece of mushroom into his mouth, and while chewing hard, he couldn't wait to put his chopsticks into the steaming earthen pot again.
After eating several pieces of shiitake mushrooms in one go, Xu Chen picked up a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of fragrant chicken soup from the earthen pot, blew it a few times, and then took a sip.
“Sou Ga~~”
Xu Chen admired it from the bottom of his heart this time.
The soup is fragrant and indescribably delicious, and your whole soul is intoxicated by it.
"Gudong~"
A group of frightened cooks seemed to be losing their temper, and there were several sounds of swallowing.
Although Mu Ba and several older women were very nervous, looking at Xu Chen's intoxicated expression, they were also a little unsure whether to stop or support.
"Chenga!"
Ye, who was closest to the stove, stood up nervously and expectantly. The rice bowl in his hand stretched forward slightly and then quickly retracted it.
"Taste it!"
Before Ye could take the bowl back completely, Xu Chen poured a spoonful of mushrooms into her bowl.
leaf:……
“Ah Qi, it’s delicious!”
Xu Chen encouraged with a smile.
Ye stared at the mushrooms in the bowl, hesitating again and again. Finally, he couldn't stand the tantalizing temptation of the hot chicken stewed with mushrooms. He mustered up the courage to pick up the smallest piece of mushroom with chopsticks, put it into his mouth with his eyes closed, and chewed it gently.
His eyes suddenly opened a few times, and there was an unprecedented surprise and excitement on his face.
"What, I didn't lie to you!"
"Woo, so... eat... quack..."
Ye nodded repeatedly, quickly chewed up the mushrooms in his mouth and swallowed them, then eagerly picked up another piece of mushroom and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xu Chen smiled and picked up the pottery bowl and scooped out a large bowl of pheasant stewed with mushrooms, soup and meat. He held it with both hands and walked to the fire pond to sit down next to the leaves. Then he ignored the complicated expressions of the primitive people in the circle.
He picked up his chopsticks and started eating happily.
It's so delicious that these primitive people don't dare to eat it, so it's just a good meal for themselves.
Seeing that the two of them were eating so deliciously, even though they were full of panic and fear about mushrooms, after all, this was just an ancestral fear and was still a bit far from reality. Especially a few young men couldn't help it at first.
Gu held the pottery bowl and slowly moved it to Ye's side.
"Ye Ga!"
"Woooo..."
I was very nervous to wrap my mouth full of shiitake mushrooms, but seeing Gu's flattering expression, I hesitated and picked up the smallest piece and put it into Gu's bowl.
"Sheiga!"
Gu felt that his saliva could no longer stop dripping, so he quickly picked up the mushrooms and stuffed them into his mouth. After chewing them, he seemed to be frozen.
In all my life, I have never tasted such soft, tender and fragrant food.
He couldn't describe the taste and feeling, so he came back to his senses and quickly chewed it and swallowed it. His eyes gleamed, and he turned his head and stared straight at the pottery bowl in front of Ye.
Ye quickly held the bowl in his arms with his arms.
Gu had no choice but to go find Xu Chen with the bowl in hand.
Xu Chen was eating so hard that he didn't have time to pay attention to him. He pointed at the earthen pot with his chopsticks. Gu immediately ran to the stove excitedly and scooped a full spoonful for himself with a large clay spoon.
, but felt that Xu Chen seemed to glance at him, and went back a little nervously, then poured the rest on his own multi-grain porridge, trotted back to his seat excitedly, and also immersed himself in eating.
stand up.
"Guga!"
Zhi, who had always been inseparable from Gu, couldn't resist the temptation and got close to him.
"Yiga!"
Gu picked up a piece and threw it into his bowl, then buried his head and continued eating like crazy.
Zhou carefully stuffed the mushroom into his mouth, chewed it, and looked exactly like Gu Fangcai. He stayed for a moment, chewed a few mouthfuls, and swallowed, then he went straight to the stove with the bowl in hand.
By this time everyone had seen the clues.
This mushroom definitely doesn't look poisonous.
Not only does it exude a strong aroma, but it also attracts so many people to grab their food.
So there were grown men who couldn't hold it in anymore, especially the two tool men who worked with Xu Chen on weekdays. One of them came back with a spoonful of mushroom stewed chicken, and sat next to him and ate it. It was so fragrant.
The taste seduced him and his mouth watered like a waterfall. He picked up the bowl and went straight to the stove.
"Wow~"
Seeing an adult start, the rest of the men stood up and swarmed towards the stove with bowls and chopsticks in hand.
Xu Chen was startled and quickly dropped his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
A group of dogs and a few people, all of them were afraid of being poisoned just now, but now they are grabbing more than anyone else, and I have just eaten a few bites and I haven't had enough.
So he went up and pushed a group of people away, brought the earthen pot in front of him, added two more spoons to his and Ye's bowls, lowered his head to see that there was half of it left in it, looked left and right, and saw the faces of a group of men.
With a drooling expression of eager anticipation, he took the earthen jar and placed it in front of his mother.
"Muba, Ah Qi Gaga!"
Xu Chen scooped a spoonful of chicken stewed with mushrooms, meat and soup into Momba's bowl.
Mother hesitated for a moment, then in the nervous and enthusiastic eyes of a group of women, she picked up a small mushroom and put it into her mouth with a very serious expression.
With a slight crunch, the moment the mushroom was bitten by her teeth, a rich aroma and taste that she had never experienced before made her feel a little dazed for a moment.
She couldn't describe the texture and taste.
But it was the most amazing and delicious food she had ever eaten.
Amidst the slightly scalding heat, the fresh mushrooms and the unique aroma of stewed chicken made everyone intoxicated instantly, and there were no other thoughts in their minds.
The concept of poison disappears without a trace almost as soon as the mushroom enters the mouth.
"Mother Baba Gaga..."
A group of women saw the strange look on their mother's face, and some of them couldn't help but speak.
"Sigh!"
After a long period of intoxication, the mother finally nodded with a smile on her face, and an older woman excitedly took the earthen pot from Xu Chen's hand and began to share the food with everyone.
A large group of men, women and children hurriedly sat back by the fire pit, each holding a pottery bowl and waiting expectantly.
