Chapter 610: Foodie Wealth
After learning that all of Gu Chang’s walnuts came from Huqiu Mountain Village near Yaling Village, Qi Tianming jumped up with excitement as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and clamored to go to Huqiu Mountain Village to take a look!
"No, I want to go now!" he said impatiently.
However, it was gradually getting dark, the road had not been completely repaired, the mountain road back and forth was rugged and difficult to travel, and there were certain safety hazards in the mountains at night.
Gu Chang had to be patient and persuade Qi Tianming earnestly: "Mr. Qi, it's getting late and the road is not easy to walk on. Let's go early tomorrow morning."
"Walnuts are good, but life is more valuable!"
Qi Tianming also listened to the advice and agreed to go to Huqiu Village tomorrow morning.
But as a condition of compromise, Gu Chang had to prepare a sumptuous dinner for him.
So they went to the chicken farm together and picked a fat rooster.
Then put the fresh chestnuts and the rooster into the pot, stew the chicken with chestnuts, and simmer over high heat for a full hour and a half.
As time passed, the rich aroma spread, and almost half of the village could smell the tempting scent.
Even Fugui was bewitched by the aroma. He was almost confused by it. He kept circling around the pot. Finally, he just lay down beside the pot, waiting anxiously for the chicken to be cooked.
Qi Tianming drooled as he squatted in front of the stove holding Fugui, constantly adding firewood to the fire.
For this delicious native chicken, only by slowly stewing it on a wood-fired stove can the meat be tender and juicy with an excellent taste.
While the chicken was stewing, Gu Chang also made a few side dishes!
Qi Tianming watched Gu Chang preparing walnut kernels and asked curiously, "What are these walnut kernels used for?"
"I'll make a cold dish for you to try!" Gu Chang said with a smile.
"Cold dish? Cold dish with walnut kernels? This thing can be used to make a cold dish?" Qi Tianming asked curiously.
"Of course not!" Gu Chang smiled mysteriously.
"This dish is called coriander mixed with walnut kernels!" Gu Chang explained.
"Stone coriander? What kind of vegetable is this, coriander?" Qi Tianming asked.
"No, stone coriander is a common wild seasoning vegetable in the countryside. It is a perennial herb with a fresh fragrance and a cool feeling on the tip of the tongue. Using stone coriander as seasoning has a unique herbal fragrance, which is appetizing, refreshing and increases appetite." Gu Chang said with a smile.
Qi Tianming listened to Gu Chang's introduction with anticipation in his heart. He wanted to know what kind of wonderful taste would be produced when this special stone coriander and the crispy and delicious walnut kernels were combined together.
Gu Chang placed the prepared ingredients on the chopping board and began to cut vegetables and prepare the sauce.
"This stone coriander also has a particularly ancient and elegant name called Xiangcao. According to legend, when Emperor Huangdi was fighting Chiyou, Chiyou was good at witchcraft. Emperor Huangdi used stone coriander to ward off evil spirits and was able to defeat Chiyou." Gu Chang introduced with a smile.
"Oh? Then I have to try it!" Qi Tianming immediately became interested after hearing it and decided to try this mysterious dish.
"Indeed, you need to eat more of this dish!" Gu Chang said to Qi Tianming with a sly smile on his face.
"Uh...why?" Qi Tianming asked puzzledly.
"Because this dish is not only beautiful, delicious and rich in taste, but its main function is to nourish the brain!" Gu Chang laughed with a cunning light in his eyes.
"Okay, you dare to say that I have no brains? Fugui, come on, tickle him..." Qi Tianming said after he reacted.
Fugui slowly raised his head, with sleepy eyes and a dazed look at the two humans in front of him.
"Humans, you are so boring..."
When all the food was ready, Gu Chang and Qi Tianming also sat down to prepare to eat.
At this time, Fugui also joined the feast. In this way, the two people and the cat started a crazy eating battle!
Perhaps it is hard for many people to imagine that Fugui is just an ordinary rural cat.
Because it's too fat!
However, this is the truth!
Fugui now weighs nearly 15 kilograms! From a distance, his majestic figure looks like a majestic and domineering little tiger!
At this moment, Fugui was lowering his head, concentrating on eating the fat chicken leg in the bowl.
Its mouth was wide open, revealing its sharp teeth, as if it wanted to swallow the whole chicken leg in one bite.
The two big chicken legs belong to Qi Tianming and Fugui respectively.
The stewed chestnuts were extremely sweet, and I gave Fugui a lot of them!
Gu Chang recently discovered an interesting phenomenon: Fugui seems to have a very special taste preference. In addition to his special liking for meat, he also loves some unexpected foods. These include fresh corn, sweet chestnuts, and soft sweet potatoes!
Just the day before yesterday, Gu Chang cooked a pot of freshly picked tender corn, which exuded an enticing aroma.
Fugui, like a greedy cat, stood closely beside the pot, staring with his eyes, as if waiting for a feast.
When the corn was finally cooked, Gu Chang took a corn, peeled off the kernels, put it in a large bowl and handed it to Fugui.
Unexpectedly, Fugui ate up all the corn kernels quickly and without any hesitation, and even licked the bottom of the bowl clean, which made Gu Chang feel surprised and amused.
This Fugui is really not picky about food!
As night fell, the whole village was immersed in tranquility, while in Gu Chang's house, there were two people and a cat lying there, all full!
A whole pot of chestnut stewed chicken, plus a big bowl of cilantro mixed with walnut kernels, all cooked out!
