The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 226 Recipe

She expertly mixes in just the right amount of salt and pepper, allowing the seasoning to evenly coat each piece of chicken, ensuring a balanced flavor.

Then, she put the cleaned wild mushrooms into the pot. These wild mushrooms were picked from the mountain today. Each mushroom was plump and had a fresh earthy smell. Shen Yan carefully put them into the pot, stir-frying them while gently stirring, so that the aroma of chicken and mushrooms could blend together.

Then, she poured in an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and simmered it slowly over low heat. The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of chicken and mushrooms, and gradually, the air was filled with the warmth and taste of home.

While waiting, Shen Yan began to prepare some side dishes. She cut some fresh greens and prepared to stir-fry them. At the same time, she carefully prepared a pot of rice, letting it steam quietly in the pot, emitting an enticing aroma.

Finally, when the aroma of chicken stewed with mushrooms wafted into her nose, Shen Yan contentedly served it in a large exquisite bowl. She sprinkled some fresh coriander as garnish to make the dish more tempting and delicious.

"Come, Jun'er, Lin'er, dinner is ready." Shen Yan brought the dishes to the table with a smile, her eyes full of love and warmth for her family.

My younger brothers and sisters smelled the fragrance and were already waiting impatiently at the table.

The cooked old hen stewed with mushrooms is so delicious, and the portion is large enough for three siblings to share without leaving too much.

You can also add some rice noodles, potatoes and other side dishes to the chicken soup to enrich everyone's taste. It's so happy for three siblings to sit around and eat together.

In the yard, Wang Jun ate several large bowls of rice this year, mixed with chicken soup and mushrooms. The taste was so delicious that it added a lot of homely flavor to the yard.

When the meal was almost over, Shen Yan suddenly heard a whimpering sound from under the courtyard wall. The sound did not sound like it came from a human, and it sounded aggrieved.

Shen Yan looked over there and found that it was Xiao Hei who was limping towards him. There were some wounds on his body, and it seemed that he had crawled in through a dog hole.

When the little yellow dog saw such a big black panther, it was so scared that it hid under Shen Yan's heels, not daring to move, and looked at the big black panther vigilantly.

Shen Yan comforted the puppy and rubbed its head in her arms. At the same time, Wang Lin had already pounced on Xiao Hei and held him in her arms, feeling distressed. "My little kitty, you must have hurt yourself when you went through the dog hole just now. Let me feel it for you. Why did you have to jump up like that? Your claws must have been injured. There is something on top. You should have just gone through the hole and come in."

She said so much in a babble, and it was not known whether Xiao Hei understood or not. He made a "woohoo" sound and seemed even more aggrieved, with his head nuzzled in Wang Lin's arms, looking so pitiful.

As soon as Xiao Hei smelled the aroma of chicken stewed with mushrooms, he immediately stopped and pounced on the iron pot in the kitchen. He supported himself on the table with his two front paws, his nose almost touching the edge of the pot, his eyes full of anticipation and greed.

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing as she watched the scene. She knew that Xiao Hei had a special liking for this dish. Every time she made chicken stewed with mushrooms, Xiao Hei couldn't help but come over to join in the fun. She smiled and scooped a large spoonful of steaming chicken and mushrooms from the pot and put it into Xiao Hei's bowl.

Xiao Hei couldn't wait to start eating. He licked the edge of the bowl with his tongue and swallowed the delicious food in big mouthfuls.

Although it does not have the meticulous table manners of humans, it seems to enjoy every bite very much and is intoxicated by the tenderness of the chicken and the aroma of the mushrooms.

Seeing this, Wang Lin couldn't help but feel emotional. Even animals like cooked food.

After eating a few bites, Xiao Hei felt a little hot, so he licked his lips and tongue, trying to lower the temperature of the food.

Seeing this, Shen Yan smiled and reminded, "Eat slowly, eat slowly. I made a lot today, and there's still more in the pot."

She watched Xiao Hei enjoying her food with satisfaction, and felt that her labor had paid off. Although Xiao Hei was a wild beast, he had been with them since he was a child, and he had always eaten the dishes made by Shen Yan, so he had developed a taste for them.

This is also one of Shen Yan’s concerns. If Xiao Hei is driven into the wild, it may not be able to survive on its own.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of stew, and the interaction between Shen Yan and Xiao Hei was full of warmth and the beauty of life. Wang Jun and Wang Lin couldn't help laughing beside them, knowing that Shen Yan's care and love for her family was meticulous.

Shen Yan's hand stroked Xiao Hei's hair. Xiao Hei's hair was shiny and oily. Although it was a little rough now, it was at least still smooth.

But she was a little worried because the little leopard was getting bigger day by day and it would be impossible to hide it anymore.

And she should have seen the two people who climbed over the wall last night. One of them was Boss Wang, who came to her today to blackmail her.

This is not so bad, after all, no matter how much blackmail it is, it is all out in the open. But the other person makes Shen Yan worried. Shen Yan doesn't even know who that person is now.

I don’t know if that person is a good person, but since that person is still hiding in the dark, Xiao Hei staying at home is also a time bomb. If he is caught in the future, his life will be in danger.

The village would not allow such a ferocious beast to appear, not to mention that Xiao Hei is so strong and has scared people crazy before.

Wang Lin looked at her sister, then picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the meat and bones into her mouth. The spicy chicken was so delicious. This was exactly the feeling she wanted.

Several people, including Xiao Hei, ate their fill and drank some wine. Xiao Hei lay contentedly in a nest nearby, turned over with his belly facing up, and soon fell asleep, snoring again. He felt so comfortable.

Originally the puppy was quite afraid of Xiao Hei, but when he saw that Xiao Hei was asleep, he tentatively approached him and ran around Xiao Hei, as if he wanted to have some fun.

Although Xiao Hei was asleep, the cat was still alert. When the little yellow dog ran past him, he slapped it with his paw. The puppy was pinned down and couldn't move. His eyes were filled with fear.

When Shen Yan saw this scene, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. She quickly walked forward and picked up the puppy away to prevent it from disturbing the big cat's sleep.

At the same time, in another village, Mr. Zhang, who had considered for a long time, came with his wife, ready to buy Shen Yan's formula.

When the couple arrived here, it was not yet noon. Shen Yan was still at home and had not set up the stall, so the other party came directly to his house.

However, it was Mr. Zhang's wife who knocked on the door. The two of them came in together, and as soon as they entered the yard, they smelled the strong aroma of snail noodles.

When Shen Yan saw these two people, she was not surprised. She must have known that they could find her way to her door.
