Metropolis: My Rising Life

"Eating chicken today?"

In the somewhat dilapidated courtyard, Chen Yi saw Yu Zixi grabbing a chicken with ease.

The girl who usually looks weak and weak made her hand very cruel, and when she cut it down, the little chicken who was cooing immediately lost her voice.

Yu Zixi's techniques of plucking hair, digging out the internal organs, etc. are extremely skillful in handling chickens, and Chen Yi's mouth twitches when he sees it.

Not to mention, he has to hesitate to let him kill chickens. Children living in the city have no chance to do these tasks.

Don't mention cleaning chicken entrails. You can ask Chen Yi to peel a potato. He can make a bowl of fragrant instant noodles. He thinks the technique of instant noodles is still strong.

"Well, my mother-in-law said that I must make a good meal for you. How about I make you a meal called Huaji? I am quite confident in this craft."

Yu Zixi, who has always given the impression of being a solemnity, is extremely confident at this time, and his words are also full of excitement, making Chen Yi unconsciously aroused by her tone.

He moved in his heart and took out his phone to shoot. Recently, he has become addicted to shooting things. As long as he doesn't regard shooting videos as work, but as ordinary fun, he finds it very interesting.

If a hobby becomes a job, then the hobby will not be loved very much immediately.

"Chen Yi, what are you shooting?"

Seeing Chen Yi take out his mobile phone, Yu Zixi, who was wearing an apron, turned red and whispered.

She was still very confident before, but now she has become a soft girl.

"It's okay, I just took pictures of your cooking process. I really haven't eaten the chicken. Is it the one made by Huang Rong for Hong Qigong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

Jiahuaji should be a famous dish in the Soviet Union in bulk, and Chen Yi didn't expect Yu Zixi to cook it.

"I haven't read "The Legend of the Condor Shooting Heroes" you said, but if they are called Huaji, it should be one thing."

Yu Zixi, who said this, did not move slowly. After handling the chicken, he introduced Chen Yi: "...The chicken called the chicken must use a boy chicken, which is about 7 weeks old. , This kind of meat is delicious."

"...There are still some lotus leaves and lotus leaves that I picked before. Although they have been stored for a little longer, they can still be used."

Yu Zixi put the ginger block on the chopping board, a pair of plain hands used a somewhat old dull knife to cut the ginger block into slices, and then cut the green onion into sections.

The most troublesome thing is the green peppercorns. These green peppercorns were picked in the mountains before, and customers in the village would pick some as condiments.

Yu Zixi grinds the green peppercorns a little bit with a knife and grinds them into powder.

Although the environment here is dilapidated, the wooden tables, wooden walls, and wooden houses are completely natural. A beautiful girl is grinding her hands, just like an ancient maid.

The trance made Chen Yi feel as if he had crossed time, from modern times back to ancient times.(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

If Yu Zixi was wearing some Hanfu or something, it would be even more so.

For some reason, seeing Yu Zixi's serious and quiet manner when cooking, occasionally raised her head to stare at the smoke in the sky.

Chen Yi feels that this girl is really not suitable for modern life. She should go to the famous mountains and rivers to cultivate immortals as written in those novels.

Dinner and evening, wind and morning dew, pillow Songtao sleep solitary moon, this kind of artistic conception is more suitable for this fairy-like girl.

Sprinkle the seasonings on the chicken skin, then stuff the seasonings into the belly of the chicken, gently massage with a pair of jade hands, so that the chicken can absorb all the flavor.

Chen Yi just stood by and didn't speak, and patted very seriously. Yu Zixi seemed to be interested all of a sudden. He also introduced Chen Yi the names of these condiments and how to make a good chicken.

Get the soil, add water and stir to make a mud, stuff the chicken belly with red dates and lotus root to taste, and finally wrap it with lotus leaves and coat the outside with a layer of mud.

"The puree must be dry and not too thin, otherwise the skin will burn easily when roasted. If you want to burn the chicken to a golden color, you can brush a layer of oil or honey on the surface of the chicken and wrap it in a little thicker. "

When it comes to areas where she is good at, Yu Zixi has more words, and she has free time to introduce Chen Yi to the precautions of this dish.

Chen Yi is taking pictures and listening carefully. Although he is not interested in cooking, he only hopes that the chef and the little girls will cook for himself, but listening carefully to Yu Zixi's speech is the greatest respect for her.

Get dry wood to make a fire, and place the wrapped chicken in the fire. From start to finish, no modern kitchen utensils were used.

On the contrary, it has more ancient cultural atmosphere, looks antique, and inspires the deepest engraving of the blood of the Chinese people.

While burning the chicken, Yu Zixi chatted with Chen Yi about other things. She complained a little bit: "... Chen Yi, you bought so many things for the village, it's too expensive."

Tens of thousands of dollars may be worth a meal in Chen Yi's eyes, but in Yu Zixi's eyes it is already a huge sum of money.

She brought Chen Yi to her home, originally to fulfill her promise to him, but she didn't expect Chen Yi to spend so much money in the end, and she felt even more embarrassed.

"I have been around the village two times before and I have felt the living environment of those old people and children. This is my voluntary purchase and it has nothing to do with you. Don't think about it, little girl."

These words were very straightforward, but Yu Zixi's face turned red when he said it.

"I know you are not for me, but spending so much money is still too expensive."

She muttered, she didn't know what she was muttering quietly, and Chen Yi didn't hear it clearly.

"I also know that those things are impossible to change the economic ecology and environment here, but it is good to make everyone happy. At least I am very happy to see the simple smiling faces of the villagers."

"...You just think that I am for selfishness, selfishness is only for the satisfaction of my heart."

This is actually Chen Yi's true thoughts. He doesn't think he is a good man and believer who is particularly touched. Doing good deeds is just to satisfy his spiritual needs.

But the so-called argument, regardless of the heart, there is no perfect person in the world, and if you take the initiative to do it, it is better than the keyboard man who just talks about it.

"It would be great if everyone was'selfish' like you."

Yu Zixi took a sneak peek at Chen Yi, she bit her moist lips, tenderness in her eyes, and she lowered her head to move the firewood.

The chicken is ready, and it is fragrant when moved to the table, not to mention Yu Ziying who is sitting at the table, even Chen Yi swallows when smelling the scent.

The chicken is eaten in the mouth, there is a light fragrance of lotus leaves, the taste is crisp and fat, and it really makes people know the taste.

"Is it okay with the taste I made?"

With her cheeks in her hands, Yu Zixi looked at Chen Yi expectantly, longing for his praise.

Chen Yi didn't say anything, swallowed the chicken in his mouth, and gave her a thumbs up.

Chen Yi is more certain at this time. This girl is suitable for ordinary people to marry and become a wife, but she is not suitable for marrying rich people. With her character and ability, she may not be cherished by rich people.

...
