Ch35 - Bread

Mu Yan thought the dish was so fragrant at the time that the smell made him drool. He hurried away so as not to embarrass himself, but the fragrance lingered in his mind even now.

Mu Yan was born into a poor family. He had only eaten chicken a few times in his life, let alone chicken stewed with mushrooms. 

Dad was only willing to kill a chicken during Chinese New Year, but he could only drink some chicken broth or eat some chicken bones with less meat, and the rest he would not have a share of.

But now he had the opportunity to sample chicken stew. With a whole chicken stew, even after sharing some with Ah Chen and Aunt Lin’s families, as well as 005, there was still enough for him to eat.

Mu Yan couldn’t stop licking his lips. Even though the chicken he was using was now a pheasant, it was still a chicken!

Mu Yan was eager to defeather the pheasant once the water had been boiled. Of course, Mu Chen couldn’t let Mu Yan do it himself in this situation, so Mu Yan had to stand back and observe.

The pheasant was defeathered, and Mu Chen chopped it into pieces and placed it all in a cooking pot with some salt and all the sliced shiitake mushrooms to cook with the pheasant.

Mu Yan was assigned this task, and Mu Chen was tasked with dealing with the rabbit.

Mu Yan had intended to make cabbage stew with meat, but their meal already included pheasant stewed with mushrooms, so he decided to save the cabbage stew for the next meal, as he would not be able to finish it if he cooked too much.

A hearty stew would go well with rice. Mu Yan wanted to experiment with nutritional powder because it was their staple food.

He made dough drop soup the last time, so this time he decided to make a simple flatbread baked in pot, which eliminated the need for oil and a pan and was more convenient.

Mu Yan was thinking about this as he stared at the pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms to keep it from falling off. Of course, most of the time he let 005 assist him in staring so that he could focus more on making flatbread. 005 was very careful and attentive when it came to eating. 

Mu Yan combined two eggs with the nutritional powder in a mixing bowl. Eggs held the dough together and gave the bread a rich flavor.

The dough with eggs turned pale yellow. Mu Yan divided the dough into small pieces and rolled and flattened them into palm-sized balls. He stuck the flat dough to the pot wall where he was cooking the stew.

The flatbread was baked in the pot while the pheasant and mushrooms were stewing. Get two things done at once! 

Of course, this was entirely due to the limited conditions, and Mu Yan couldn’t think of a better way.

“What is this, Yanyan?” When 005 noticed the round dough pasted on the pot’s wall, it inquired.

“This is flatbread; we can eat it as a main course.” Mu Yan said, smiling.

Mu Yan stir-fried the radish after the pheasant stewed with mushrooms was done, and the lunch was complete. 

Mu Yan took out a large bowl, filled it with pheasant stewed with mushrooms and stir-fried radish, and took several flatbread to send to Yang Wenyao’s family, just like the last time.

Mu Chen accompanied him this time, and the “heavy” items were still carried by Mu Chen.
