Chapter 154 - Chicken Stew with Mushrooms

In some respects, Du Hang is definitely a good mover. How far can he “can” go? It is possible to hug Wei Xuan while carrying a bulky backpack with several bags hanging on the upper, lower, left and back sides of the backpack, and Wei Xuan is holding a backpack of similar size with a bunch of bags hanging upside down in his arms .

When carrying so many things in his arms and carrying so many things, Du Hang is as fast, sensitive and flexible as he usually is when he moves with Wei Xuan in one vertical leap. The roads, obstacles, rocks and debris under his feet are hurriedly swept by him. , and the two headed straight towards their community.

Wei Xuan was worried about whether he would be able to take him to the beach, and even planned to walk back with him all the way, but his boyfriend was so awesome that he didn’t know what to say, so he could only be honest. Nesting in Du Hang’s arms, enjoying the feeling of the breeze blowing on his face, he lay down all the way home with peace of mind.

Familiar community, familiar environment. Wei Xuan habitually asked Du Hang to stop on the wall, and he checked the surrounding situation roughly by the inconspicuous moonlight in the sky. Carrying it home, he put the backpack in his arms and Du Hang’s on the floor of the room.

Originally, he could just let Du Hang carry him to the store where he exchanged messages with those two guys as usual, put down the electronic components he brought back, and then come back to rest with peace of mind. But the experience of the past two days is a little different, Wei Xuan is going to take a break, and check the safety situation in the community during the day tomorrow before going on the road.

No matter what, I had to face to face with the big boss hovering in T City, so it’s normal to take a good rest to suppress the shock.

After confirming that everything in the room was the same as before leaving, Wei Xuan hugged Du Hang and rolled directly onto the bed to sleep and rest. Not long after closing his eyes, Wei Xuan fell into a dream. Du Hang, who had been hugging him all this time, suddenly blinked his eyes, quietly looked at the sleeping face in the darkness, and suddenly leaned over to put his lips against his. on the tip of his nose, and then closed his eyes as if sleeping.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Xuan woke up and found that it was already past eleven o’clock. It seemed that one reason was that he had been on the road for a long time last night, and the other reason was that he was afraid that he hadn’t had a good rest in the past two days. I fell into such a deep sleep.

Stretching and yawning, when Wei Xuan stretched his arms, he felt that Du Hang put the arm that had been pulled off by him back to his waist. Feeling something strange, after stretching, he hugged Du Hang’s neck directly, and rubbed his face and chest with his face: “Take a good rest today, and go later in the evening or tomorrow.”

Anyway, he has a Duhang brand road machine, as long as he can locate where he is going, one day is enough for him to hug himself and bounce around the city for a few times without any pressure.

Two days ago, Wei Xuan, who was “frightened” by the group of weird zombies and his suspected enemies from his previous life, decided to reward himself today.

Get up, wash up.

After cleaning himself, Wei Xuan first tossed out a large piece of poultry meat that was frozen in the refrigerator, and then found out the bag containing mushrooms of various flavors that he brought back yesterday, and dumped them all on the ground. Hazel mushroom opened the bag and decided to start with it first.

In fact, it’s just because he doesn’t know how to make these things delicious, or he should look for the recipes in the various recipes at home before processing other mushrooms (even if there are no related dishes in the recipes at home) , he will go to the bookstore a few more times at worst), at least he can still roughly DIY it.

After soaking the mushrooms in clean water and putting the poultry meat aside to thaw, Wei Xuan had the time to drag Du Hang to the roof together, and took a closer look around his community with his binoculars: “There seems to be nothing wrong. “

Walking downstairs, the zombie boys in the community are still as well-behaved as before, and all the buildings are still the same as before, and there seems to be no sudden damage or damage.

After confirming that most of the bags around the necks of the zombies in the community were still bulging, Wei Xuan settled down and climbed to the top floor next door, and confirmed that the couple in the room were still loving each other lying on the bed showing their affection, Shi Shiran Go downstairs to go back to the building where you live.

“Why does the ground look a bit dark here?” Wei Xuan stopped walking and looked at the ground with some doubts. There is a dark mark on the ground about half a step in front of him. This is the passageway in the community, and it is a cement floor. The color of the mark in this place looks like it has just rained, or has some expression It looks like something has been splashed, but it seems that a period of time has passed. Although the color remains on it, it can’t be seen what it was originally.

“It can’t be blood, right?” Wei Xuan frowned again, and he looked at the left and right ground. This kind of trace was not uncommon in the early days of the end of the world. There were also some blood stains on other roads and even in the corridors after oxidation. It is a black mark, but the one in front of it seems to be slightly darker.

But is it really… This is obviously a trace that has passed for a while, even if it is really blood, Wei Xuan can’t smell anything even if he lies on the ground and smells it desperately.

Maybe it was accidentally brought in by some zombie when the zombies killed the cat last time, or maybe it was caused by other reasons. It’s more likely that it was there before, but I didn’t notice it before. The reason why I think the color here is relatively new may be that there are zombies wandering around here recently and accidentally wiped the dust on the ground too clean?

Still harboring some worries in his heart, Wei Xuan simply went back to his room to take out the spare snowflakes. He wandered around the neighborhood while distributing snowflakes while counting the number of zombies in his house. After making sure that none of them were missing, he heaved a sigh of relief and returned to himself. In your room—cook, cook!

Wei Xuan decided to reward his five internal organs temple with stewed chicken and mushrooms.

Although he usually uses some meat from time to time to stir-fry, stew, or make soup, there are not many times when he really eats meat. Especially when stewing meat, the proportion of meat in it is quite low, and potatoes, carrots, various dried vegetable soaking materials, and soy products account for a large part of it.

But today, he said that if he wants to stew meat, he really plans to focus on meat.

He had soaked a whole pack of hazel mushrooms, but even after soaking them all, there were not many hazel mushrooms that had been squeezed dry. You must know that each piece of the bird meat he got back was a large piece, and the portion cut into pieces after thawing was definitely much more than that of mushrooms.

After inspecting the environment in the community in the morning, Wei Xuan hastily made breakfast with cereal and milk powder, and then devoted all his thoughts to this delicious meal.

Shiitake mushrooms, his family already had a lot of them, but he didn’t know how to make them better for cooking alone. Generally, they just put a few mushrooms in the stew to adjust the taste. However, today’s meal is really taking mushrooms as one of the protagonists, so he must work hard.

Put the meat and mushrooms in a pot of water after preliminary treatment, take out the cut poultry meat, and heat it in an oil pan. Add dried onions, dried ginger, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, and dried red peppers Stir-fry, wait until the aroma is released, then add the poultry meat and continue to fry until golden brown.

After more than a year of training, Wei Xuan’s craftsmanship is nothing compared to his previous life and pre-apocalyptic self. At this time, he regards cooking as a way of pastime, staring at the frying pan with a kind of anticipation in his eyes, and he is actually looking forward to it, confirming that all the poultry meat has been cooked. It became golden and burnt, so I took the soy sauce bottle that was set aside, added soy sauce and stir-fried for color.

When the aroma comes out and the color of the soy sauce is completely wrapped on each piece of poultry meat, add the mushrooms and stir fry for a while, then pour boiling water and simmer.

After adding enough water at once, Wei Xuan turned to soak the rice. The amount of rice at home is not much, but he is not going to continue looking for it after that. After eating all the rice, it is estimated that all the rice in the outside world will be almost bad.

In fact, if you find rice that is better preserved, you can still continue to eat it, but most of the rice has become brittle or even completely broken after being found one year after the end of the world and after being opened.

Of course, this kind of old rice can still be eaten, even if it is relatively fragile, it is still no problem to use it for food. In the previous life, taking these things back to the base could still exchange for a lot of crystal cores and points as expenses, but Wei Xuan was not going to eat them.

The rice that was tentatively planted at home in the spring is growing well, but I just don’t know whether the final product can continue to be eaten, and whether it can be planted in large quantities is still unknown. But in any case, the lush growth is still something to look forward to.

In addition to rice, there are also many grains planted in the hydroponic planting machine. After these things are harvested one after another around autumn, Wei Xuan feels that no matter how lucky he is, he should always be able to find one or two things that can replace the staple food. ?

The amount of rice and noodles at home is enough to last until this winter, and we can wait until after winter…the days after that. Although Wei Xuan has imagined how to spend his days in the future, he always feels that he may not continue to consume it.

He was in a daze for a while, and was suddenly interrupted by the sound of “I want to kiss” in his head. He smiled helplessly and turned his head to look at Du Hang, who had been obediently by his side, leaned over and kissed him on the lips: ” Let’s go to the living room to rest for a while after the big fire is boiled and changed to a small fire.”

Wei Xuan is already very experienced in stewing these things. He knows how long it will take to boil them on a low fire to get the soup to a suitable thickness. Therefore, it is of course useless to spend this time with his lover question.
