Chapter 118 Have fun
Early in the morning, the chickens and ducks in the yard were calling, and Shen Yan had to mix food to feed them.
The early morning sun shines into the yard through the gaps in the leaves, and a breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness.
Shen Yan was carrying a basket filled with fresh wild vegetables that she had just picked from the fields next to the village.
She walked briskly to the chicken coop in the yard, humming a cheerful tune as she placed the basket on the ground.
When I opened the door of the chicken coop, I was greeted by the crowing of chickens and the quacking of ducks.
The chickens and ducks in the yard had been waiting for Shen Yan's arrival, jumping and clucking excitedly.
Shen Yan bent down, took out the wild vegetables from the basket, and carefully selected them to make sure that each one was fresh and delicious. She first mixed a handful of bran into the fresh wild vegetables in the basket, and then gently stirred it with her hands so that each leaf was evenly coated with the fragrant bran.
"Come and eat, come and eat, little ones."
Shen Yan called softly and poured the bran mixed with wild vegetables into the food bowls of the chickens and ducks in the yard.
The chickens and ducks smelled the fragrance and immediately huddled together, scrambling to peck at the food.
As they pecked at the food, they made satisfied gurgling sounds, as if expressing their gratitude to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan looked at the cheerful scene in the yard and couldn't help feeling a little happy.
She knew that these chickens and ducks were not only her livelihood, but also a part of her life. Getting along with them made her feel the joy and satisfaction of life.
The ducks nearby were still fighting for food, and some chicks were chirping, creating a lively scene.
When Sister Xiaolan came, Shen Yan hadn't cooked yet, and Sister Xiaolan happened to bring some freshly made sesame cakes.
"Hurry, Sister Yan, Jun'er, Lin'er, come and eat while it's hot!"
Wang Lin didn't rush to eat the pancake after getting it. Instead, she fed the little black cat first. However, the kitten had a bad temper.
Wang Lin carefully took a piece of sesame cake and walked towards the little black cat in the yard. The little black cat has always been her and Shen Yan's pet. Although it has a strange temper, Wang Lin's love for it has not diminished at all.
The little black cat was lying in the corner of the yard, lazily basking in the sun. When it saw Wang Lin coming over, there was a hint of displeasure in its eyes.
It stood up quickly and let out a low roar, as if reminding Wang Lin not to get close.
Wang Lin was startled when she saw this, but she continued to move forward without fear. She slowly squatted down, gently placed the pancake in her hand on the ground, and then slowly stepped back a few steps, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the little black cat, for fear of angering it.
The little black cat stared at Wang Lin with a hint of hesitation, as if considering whether to accept Wang Lin's kindness. After a moment, it slowly approached the pancake, rubbed it gently with its nose, and then began to nibble slowly.
When Wang Lin saw that the little black cat accepted his kindness, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.
She knew that although the little black cat was a little weird, it was also a kind animal that just needed some patience and consideration.
"Good boy, it's delicious."
Wang Lin spoke softly to the little black cat, then stood up, turned and walked towards Shen Yan and Sister Xiaolan, her heart full of love and concern for the little black cat.
Today, Shen Yan was preparing to make snail noodles, and the pickled bamboo shoots she had previously prepared were ready.
Shen Yan's heart is full of warmth and expectations for her family.
She knew that the snail noodles she prepared today were her family’s favorite, and it would go perfectly with the pickled bamboo shoots she had prepared earlier, making it a delicious breakfast.
She first put a large pot of water on the fire and boiled it. The water gradually became boiling hot and emitted bursts of white steam.
In another place, she took out the snails she had prepared earlier and gently rinsed them with clean water to remove impurities.
Then, Shen Yan began to prepare the ingredients, washing the fresh green vegetables, bean sprouts, coriander, etc., cutting them into small pieces suitable for the pot, and placing them in a bowl for later use. The sour bamboo shoots she carefully selected were also cut into thin slices, exuding an attractive sour fragrance.
The water in the pot was already boiling, and Shen Yan gently put the cleaned snails into the pot. The tumbling water made a crackling sound, which made people salivate. When the snails were cooked, Shen Yan quickly took them out and put them in the prepared bowl for later use.
Then, she poured the prepared snail noodle soup base into a large bowl, which was seasoned deliciously and fragrant. Pour the cooked snails into the bowl, and then put in the chopped green vegetables, bean sprouts and pickled bamboo shoots, and finally sprinkled some coriander, and a bowl of snail noodles with good color, aroma and taste was ready.
Shen Yan brought the bowl of steaming hot snail noodles to the table. Wang Lin and Wang Jun, who had been waiting eagerly, couldn't help but drool.
"Sister, this smells so good." Wang Lin looked at the noodles in the bowl, drooling.
Wang Jun was also intoxicated by it: "Sister, this noodle is really delicious."
Shen Yan smiled, turned around and went back to the stove to prepare another dish, shredded potatoes with vinegar.
Shen Yan listened to Wang Lin and Wang Jun's praise with a smile, and felt very satisfied. She knew that it was a happy thing to be able to make delicious breakfast for her family, and seeing them enjoying the food made her feel even happier.
Turning back to the stove, Shen Yan began to prepare the vinegar-fried potato shreds.
She first washed the fresh potatoes, then cut them into thin strips with a knife. Each strip was even and delicate.
Then, Shen Yan placed the pot on the fire and poured in a proper amount of cooking oil. When the oil temperature reached the right level, he gently placed the shredded potatoes into the pot. Listening to the rustling sound coming from the oil pan, the shredded potatoes quickly became golden and crispy.
Shen Yan quickly stir-fried the shredded potatoes, separating them meticulously with chopsticks to ensure that each shredded potato was evenly heated to achieve a crispy effect.
When the potato shreds become golden and crispy, Shen Yan takes them out of the pot and places them on the prepared plate, controlling the amount of oil to keep the potato shreds fresh and tender.
Then, Shen Yan put the pot back on the fire, poured in appropriate amounts of vinegar, sugar and salt, stirred quickly with a spatula, and waited for the vinegar juice to become thick.
When the vinegar sauce became thick, Shen Yan poured the fried potato shreds into the pot and quickly stir-fried them evenly so that every potato shred was coated with the sweet and delicious vinegar sauce.
Finally, Shen Yan sprinkled some chopped green onions as garnish, and a plate of golden and fragrant vinegar-fried potato shreds was ready.
Shen Yan brought the delicious vinegar-fried potato shreds to the table and placed it together with the snail noodles. The fragrant breakfast filled the whole room with tempting appetite.
After doing all this, Shen Yan waited for them to eat, and after dinner everyone went to the official road to set up stalls together.
While they were eating, Shen Yan made another dish of pickled bamboo shoots and pork intestines.
Shen Yan placed breakfast on the table and smiled contentedly at the tempting shredded potatoes with vinegar and snail noodles.
She knew that this hearty breakfast would be a real treat for her family.
