Then I dug out two Chinese cabbages that looked the most tender, so I didn't continue. Instead, I took this place as the center and went around to see if I could find something else.
Not to mention, it really made Mu Yan make a new discovery. In a small tuft of grass, there is actually a small piece of radish growing. The green leaves exposed outside are very familiar and very pleasing to look at.
Mu Yan cheerfully stepped forward to pull out a few more radishes, and the fat and white radishes were even more pleasing to look at.
For today's harvest, Mu Yan feels very satisfied. In this way, there are two more ingredients for the task, and he can move forward again.
If Ah Chen hunts pheasants or rabbits later, make him a cabbage stew, stir-fry radishes, and the rest can still be roasted and eaten.
Mu Yan happily thought about the menu to be made later, and then asked No. 5 to look nearby to see if there was any water source.
No. 5's speed has always been very fast, but this time it hasn't come back yet, Mu Chen came back first, which shows how fast he is.
Mu Chen is holding a half-dead rabbit in one hand, and a wild pheasant with fluttering wings in the other hand, which seems to be full of harvest.
"Ah Chen, you've hunted down both the rabbit and the pheasant, that's amazing." Mu Yan looked at Mu Chen who was carrying the two wild game, his eyes twinkled with adoring little stars.
"You like to eat, so I hunted more." Mu Chen said with a doting smile.
Mu Yan's face became hot again uncontrollably, if No. 5 was here at this moment, he would definitely say that Mu Chen had bad intentions and ulterior motives, and tried hard to persuade Mu Yan.
It's a pity that No. 5 is not here this time. When No. 5 returns, this conversation has ended.
Mu Chen tied the rabbit and pheasant together to prevent them from slipping away, and then took out a few small things from his bosom.
When Mu Yan saw what Mu Chen was holding, his eyes immediately became brighter.
"Eggs? You found the eggs?" Mu Yan was overwhelmed with surprise. He held the eggs in his hands and couldn't put them down.
This trip has gained so much.
"When I met this pheasant, it was hatching these eggs. I thought maybe you knew what it was, so I took it together." Mu Chen said, he was very glad that he brought these eggs together at that time Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see Mu Yan's cute and lively expression.
He likes to see the contented smile on Mumu's face, especially because of him.
So, Mu Chen decided that whenever he encounters novel things in the future, he will find a copy for Mu Mu, maybe Mu Mu knows it and can eat it.
It is also because of this decision made by Mu Chen that they can find more edible ingredients in advance and save a lot of time in the future. Of course, these are things for later.
After No. 5 came back, he gave Mu Chen a regular look, and then said to Mu Yan, "Yanyan, there is a water source not far ahead, it's a small stream, and the surrounding area is fairly wide, let's go there."
"Mumu, when I just came back, I stopped by to see the water source, there is one not far ahead, let's go over there."
Almost when No. 5 finished speaking, Mu Chen also spoke, and very naturally took the radish and cabbage in Mu Yan's hand.
"Hmph, I've already told Yanyan about the water source, you're only here now, it's too late." No. 5 proudly puffed out her small chest, and said proudly, but it's a pity that Mu Chen couldn't see it.
Mu Yan thinks this is good, otherwise he would have to think of an excuse to let Mu Chen go to the front with him. With his personality, it is really hard to find an excuse, and maybe he will cheat. Now Ah Chen offered to , he was naturally happy and didn't need to think of any excuses.
The two came to the creek, and the surrounding area was indeed as No. 5 said, relatively wide, very suitable for picnics.
Mu Yan took the pheasant from Mu Chen and planned to go to the stream to deal with it, but Mu Chen took it back the next moment.
Mu Yan looked at Mu Chen puzzled.
"What do you say, I'll do it." Mu Chen said, although he didn't know what to do with the pheasant, but it would definitely be very bloody. He didn't want the child to be stained with that kind of blood, even if it was a pheasant.
But Mu Yan didn't think too much about it. He thought about Ah Chen's handling of pheasants, and he's handling of radishes and cabbages.
"I'm going to boil hot water, you put all the chicken blood first." Mu Yan said, after boiling hot water, it is much more convenient to use it to remove chicken feathers, but at the same time, problems also arise.
The kitchen utensils are all in the space of No. 5. Normally, when there are only him and No. 5, they can be taken in and out at will, but now that Mu Chen doesn’t know the existence of No. 5, the kitchen utensils can’t be used, so the hot water can’t be used. How to burn it?
Moreover, it's not just the problem of hot water, the cabbage stew and fried radish that will be served later cannot be cooked.
Mu Yan wrinkled his little face, and stood still in a tangled state.
"Just say don't let that man come with you. It's inconvenient to do anything. Next time, just the two of us will be together and don't want him." No. 5 took the opportunity to say.
"I have found two new ingredients today, why don't we go back first, it will be much more convenient to go back to cook." Mu Yan thought for a long time, and finally came up with a good way, and the more he talked, the more he felt that this way was too much. All right.
The reason why he stayed here for lunch was just to find more ingredients. Now that he has found two, it is not a small gain. Even if he doesn't look for it in the afternoon, he will save the rest for next time. Bar.
Well, that's it, Mu Yan nodded secretly, and then said to Mu Chen who was processing the prey: "Ah Chen, there is no tool to boil water here, let's go back to eat at noon today."
Although Mu Chen didn't know why Mu Yan changed his mind, he felt that any decision made by Mu Yan was good and he would accept it, so he nodded without hesitation, and cleaned up the rabbit and pheasant that had been bled. Ready to take it away later.
"No. 5, you go back and put the kitchen utensils in the storage room first, so that we can get the kitchen utensils directly from the storage room when we go back later." In this way, Mu Chen will not feel strange, Mu Yan thinks that he can think So proud and proud of such a perfect practice.
No. 5 is not willing to leave first, let alone let Yan Yan be with this man alone, but Mu Yan has obviously made up his mind, No. 5 has no choice but to leave first, and before leaving, he still gives Mu Chen a vicious eyes.
Mu Chen suddenly raised his head and looked towards the place where No. 5 was, with a deep and sharp look in his eyes, as if he knew that No. 5 existed in that place.
No. 5 was taken aback immediately, and the hair on his whole body stood on end. If it wasn't extremely sure that other than Mu Yan, the host, it would be impossible for anyone else to see it. It would really think that Mu Chen was looking at it. to its existence.
In fact, even Mu Chen didn't know why, at that moment, he always felt that there was something in that place, but when he saw it, there was nothing.
No. 5 didn't dare to stay here any longer, said a few words to Mu Yan in a hurry, and then flew away. It looked like there was something terrifying chasing after it, and the fog on Mu Yan's head was seen. water.
No. 5 returns home first, while Mu Yan and Mu Chen walk slowly behind. During the period, if Mu Yan sees any familiar ingredients or something that looks familiar, he will stop and observe carefully, so the time to go home is not too long. It was extended a lot, until the sun was overhead, and the two of them arrived home.
"Let's put these ingredients here, I'll go to the storage room to get something." Mu Yan said to Mu Chen, and then walked towards the storage room.
Mu Chen put away all the ingredients, followed into the storage room, and transferred all the things Mu Yan was holding to his hands.
"I can handle this little thing." Mu Yan said shyly, but he felt warm in his heart.
In the past, when he was at home, he basically did all the work, and no one would help him. However, after he came to this world, he not only met Aunt Lin and Uncle Yang who were very nice people, but also met a friend who helped him everywhere. Ah Chen, that's great!
"You have to cook later." It will be very tiring.
Although Mu Chen didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Mu Yan understood it, and his heart immediately became warmer, with a hint of sweetness, and a sweet smile appeared on his face uncontrollably.
"What else do you want?" Mu Chen asked proactively.
"No need, these few are enough." Mu Yan said, "Just put the things here."
When the two came to the yard, they still used the simple hearth that Mu Yan had built before.
Due to limited ability and strength, the wood-built stove is very irregular, and it is not easy to use, but it can only make do with it.
Mu Chen put all the things away, and put the pot directly on the stove for Mu Yan. His eyes stayed on the stove for a while, and then he consciously went to wash the vegetables.
Mu Yan filled the pot with water and put it on the stove to burn it, ready to use it to remove chicken feathers later.
The rabbit was treated by Mu Chen before, and the rabbit skin was completely peeled off.
In the process of boiling water, Mu Yan picked off the cabbage one by one for later use, without chopping them up, and then cut the white and fat radish into pieces, planning to use it for stewing or stir-frying later .
In the end, Mu Yan washed the mushrooms and some shiitake mushrooms that he met on the way back, and weighed the corresponding sizes, intending to use them to stew chicken.
God knows how excited Mu Yan was when he encountered mushrooms in the forest. You must know that although he has never eaten chicken stewed mushrooms, the aroma is still in his mind until now. He has long wanted to eat mushrooms. Have a taste.
In the past, once when I was in town, I passed a restaurant, and there was a strong aroma inside, so seductive that he almost couldn't even walk. After listening to the discussion of the people around, he realized that it was the signature dish of that restaurant—— Chicken stew with mushrooms.
