Xu Qinyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Ma Liu asked such a question, she said: "These mushrooms are naturally edible, they can be used to make mushroom soup, you don't need to add any meat or meat, just add some salt and finally add some egg liquid , the taste is very delicious." She plans to use these mushrooms to make mushroom egg soup, and then stir-fry winter bamboo shoots with bacon, and serve them with their white flour pancakes, which will be warm and full after eating.

"What are you talking about, little lady?" Ma Liu looked strange, "These fungi are not edible, they are poisonous and can kill people, and that's right, little lady is from the capital, where there are few wild mushrooms, so I must not know the people in the southwest. No one would pick these wild fungi on the mountain, and many people died of eating them in the past, so after all these years, except for famine, no one would eat the wild fungus on the mountain.”

Xu Qinyu was silent, no wonder these wild mushrooms grow so lush in the mountains.

The ancient dynasties she knew had a history of eating wild mushrooms, but there were also cases of people dying from eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake. She remembered that this was not the ancient dynasty of her original era, at least in all the historical records she had read, there was no historical dynasty called the Sheng Dynasty, so it was different from the dynasty she was familiar with.

She still remembered that when Yuan was in the Marquis of Dechang, most of the food she ate was steamed or fried, but stir-frying didn't seem to be popular yet, and the taste of stir-fried dishes was also very ordinary, and the cooking methods were a little lacking, unlike hers. In the era, there are dozens of cooking techniques, even for ordinary stir-frying, there are stir-frying, slippery stir-frying, dry stir-frying, raw stir-frying, etc.

In such an era when food and cooking methods are still scarce, it is normal to be unable to distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic wild mushrooms.

After all, the first person to eat 'crabs' may be poisoned to death by 'crabs', so people who came later would never dare to eat 'crabs' again.

She remembered that there were indeed no such wild mushrooms for sale in the capital, but there were some dried mushrooms for sale.

According to Ma Liu, they seem to call this kind of wild mushrooms mushrooms, and those dry mushrooms are called mushrooms.

Mushrooms are edible and grown by ourselves, while fungi are wild, and many fungi are poisonous, so they are not edible.

It's just how to convince these officers and soldiers that the fungi she picked are edible?

Xu Qinyu knew that even if she told these officers and soldiers that wild fungi were divided into poisonous and non-toxic, and the ones she picked were all non-toxic, the deep-rooted thoughts in their bones would discourage them.

Xu Qinyu had a rough idea in her heart, she said to Ma Liu and Chen Fuwei: "My little girl once saw a record in a miscellaneous diary, saying that some fungi in the wild are also non-toxic, as long as the picked ones are non-toxic. The poisonous ones can be eaten. If the military men are not at ease, I will stew bacon with winter bamboo shoots for you to eat. For these fungi, I will cook them and eat them myself. The military men see that they are not poisonous. I will cook them for the military men tomorrow. ?”

Ma Liu frowned, "Don't try it, little lady. You also said that you only saw it in the miscellaneous notes. If you pick poisonous fungi, you will lose your life."

"Thank you, Mr. Jun, for remembering." Xu Qinyu smiled slightly, "I have been different from ordinary people since I was a child, and I often cook food. When I was in the capital, I also picked some wild mushrooms on the mountains outside the city. The taste is delicious and delicious. Not poisonous."

This statement is not false, because the second wife is not favored by Yuanshen, and Yuanshen's uncle has some cooking skills, Yuanshen does know how to cook.

In addition, wild mushrooms are everywhere, and there are few in the capital city, but it’s not that there are no. It’s just that the southwest is rich in rain, and there are countless types of mushrooms. There are almost hundreds of species, but there are more than 200 kinds of poisonous mushrooms. If you understand mushrooms, it is easy to pick poisonous mushrooms. Some mushrooms that look similar are actually not the same kind. One is poisonous and the other is non-toxic, making it even more difficult to distinguish.

Deputy Chen glanced at her, and said: "Since you can tell the difference, if you want to eat these bacteria, you can cook and eat them yourself later."

He will not let his soldiers eat these mushrooms for the time being, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Xu Qinyu thanked them, and took the bamboo shoots and mushrooms to the stream to clean them.

These winter bamboo shoots are particularly plump. Xu Qinyu tasted the winter bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots are tender, refreshing with a hint of sweetness, not astringent, and do not need to be blanched. They can be stewed directly with bacon and taste delicious.

She only cleaned a small part of the mushrooms, and she planned to make them for herself and the Pei family to eat.

These winter bamboo shoots are enough for one time. Just now she asked those officers and soldiers to continue digging winter bamboo shoots in the mountains, as well as wild ginger and wild onions. As for the fungus, they don't know how to distinguish them, so they won't let them help to pick them.

Wash the winter bamboo shoots and cut them into large pieces. She has tasted the bacon before. The smoked meat was not very good, it was a little salty, and the smoked places were uneven, but the quality of the meat was good. She had already soaked the bacon in water. After a while, scraped off the smoke from the bacon, cleaned it, cut it into pieces smaller than the winter bamboo shoots, and cleaned the wild ginger and chopped it into foam.

Wild mushrooms only need to simply wash off the dirt on them and tear them into strips.

All the ingredients were ready, the fire and the cauldron were set up over there, and a pot of hot water was boiled, and Ma Liu also poured a pot of hot water for the Pei family.

Only now did the Pei family and Wen's know that Xu Qinyu was going to cook for these officers and soldiers. Wen's was really worried. She didn't know how Yuniang dared to ask to cook for these officers and soldiers. Cooking skills, she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would offend others, so she endured it for a long time before going to Xu Qinyu's side, and asked in a low voice: "Yu Niang, what are you doing? You are the daughter of the Hou family, how can you cook and eat, be careful of getting into trouble upper body."

Xu Qinyu said softly: "Although she is the concubine of the Hou family, she is not favored. Well, mother, don't worry, I can cook and eat. You can go and rest first."

Wen was stunned, yes, if the Marquis of Dechang really valued Yuniang, how could they replace the third girl with the second girl and send her to the border town to suffer.

When Xu Qinyu spoke, he had already heated up the cauldron, melted two spoons of meat oil in the cauldron, waited for the oil to heat up, poured the sliced ​​bacon into the pan and stir-fried. Wait for a while, wait until the bacon looks a little crystal clear, and after some fat is fried out, pour the chopped ginger into the pan and stir fry a few times to stimulate the aroma of bacon. Water, wait until the bacon is boiled and simmer for a while, then pour all the cut winter bamboo shoots into the pot, and simmer together with the bacon for more than a quarter of an hour.

Originally, planned to make bacon and fried winter bamboo shoots into slices, but didn't make the mushroom egg soup, so could only make a stew with soup.

The bacon itself is a bit salty, so there is no need to add salt, nor do other seasonings, after all, there is none.

In order to make good food and learn about food, she also went to the countryside to learn banquet dishes for a while, so this kind of cauldron dishes are also very handy.

There are also white noodles and eggs. Xu Qinyu didn't plan to move it. Today, stewed winter bamboo shoots with bacon and white noodles are just right to eat, and the remaining ingredients can be made tomorrow.

Ma Liu stayed by Xu Qinyu's side all the time, and the other officers and soldiers were called by Deputy Lieutenant Chen to dig up winter bamboo shoots and wild onions and ginger in the mountains. This was also Xu Qinyu's idea, saying that they had a car, so they could dig out some of these ingredients and bring them with them.

Ma Liu can smell the aroma of meat since Xu Qinyu started to fry the bacon, and when the winter bamboo shoots are also stewed in, the aroma of the meat is getting stronger and stronger. Swallowing saliva, even other exiled prisoners frequently looked towards him.

Wen didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would really cook.

Pei Jianing was also woken up by the fragrance, and murmured, "It smells so good."

She had never smelled such a fragrant food aroma, not even in the imperial kitchen in the palace.

The Wen family members on the other side couldn't help but spit. Wen Yunling swallowed and rolled her eyes, "As a girl from Hou's residence, you are willing to do such a cheap thing."

Ma Liucai believed that this little lady really knew how to cook, and kept asking Xu Qinyu, "Little lady, when will this dish be eaten? It should be cooked, right?"

Xu Qinyu said: "The heat is still almost there, and it will be almost half an hour later."

When making food, in addition to the proportion of seasonings and ingredients, the most important thing is to control the heat.

Some people, even if they follow the tutorial to get the ratio of ingredients and seasonings to cook, the taste is still not good, because they can't control the heat.

She seems to have a natural talent for this. When she was a child, she bought some ingredients in the welfare home and baked them by herself, and they all tasted very good.

Soon, the officers and soldiers who went to the mountains to dig winter bamboo shoots and wild vegetables also returned, and many of them were attracted by the fragrance.

"It's so fragrant, what is this, it's too fragrant."

"That's right, I smelled it in the mountains. I couldn't stand the smell, so I came back."

"Little lady, when can we have dinner?"

The heat was almost over, Xu Qinyu took out all the firewood from the stove, lifted the lid, and finally sprinkled a large handful of chopped green onions into the pot, smilingly said, "You can eat, everyone, bring the bowls over. ."

These officers and soldiers hurried to get bowls and came to line up.

The first bowl was naturally served to Vice-Chancellor Chen first. Vice-Chancellor Chen took the bowl and looked at the stewed winter bamboo shoots with bacon in the bowl. The bacon inside was fat and thin, and the fat part was crystal clear. The color of the winter bamboo shoots and the soup were milky white. Then embellished with green chopped green onion, not to mention the taste, the color is already very attractive.

As the peak of everyone, he was also a little unable to hold it at this moment, and he took out a piece of bacon in the pot regardless of it.

The entrance was a little stunned, the bacon burst into juice in the mouth, which absorbed the fat of the winter bamboo shoots, bamboo shoot soup and the bacon itself. After a few bites, the bacon melted in the mouth, the saltiness was just right, and the meat was rich and fragrant. The sweetness of the winter bamboo shoots.

He doubted that this was really the bacon they bought before?

The bacon they cooked by themselves before was very salty, and the mouth was too woody to bite. They could only chew a few mouthfuls and swallow them indiscriminately.

"Boss, is it delicious?" Ma Liu couldn't help but shouted while lining up.

Deputy Captain Chen didn't answer him, but he took another piece of winter bamboo shoots. After stewing for so long, the winter bamboo shoots didn't get mushy, and they were still whole, very tasty. It is salty and fragrant, and it tastes better than bacon. People who are fragrant want to swallow their tongues.

It's not that Vice Captain Chen has never eaten a dish cooked with bacon, but he never thought it could be so delicious.

The other officers and soldiers also filled the dishes and took them to the side to eat.

"This is too delicious."

"Yeah, I've never eaten such a delicious boiled dish."

"Even the restaurants in the capital can't make this kind of taste."

It was finally Ma Liu's turn, and when Xu Qinyu filled him with vegetables, he couldn't wait to grab a piece of bacon and eat it.

There was the sound of other people swallowing saliva around, and everyone felt that they were going to be greedy to death by the scent, and the Pei family could bear it. Although the two children were also greedy and kept swallowing saliva, they curled up obediently in Pei Jianing's arms.

In Mr. Anping's line, the adults are okay, but there are two younger children who keep making trouble, clamoring for family members to come over and ask for it.

But how could the Wen family come to ask Xu Qinyu for food.

Besides, they could see clearly that there was no food in the pot.

This large pot of stewed winter bamboo shoots with bacon is enough for each of these officers and soldiers to have a bowl. Xu Qinyu dipped in the little soup left at the bottom of the pot and tasted it. It's not as good as what she used to make, but the conditions are limited, and the taste is not bad.

Chen Fuwei had already finished a bowl of stewed winter bamboo shoots with bacon on the cold and hard white flour sesame seed cakes, his stomach was warmed up and his body felt comfortable.

He is convinced of Xu Qinyu's cooking skills. He knows that she should be able to distinguish the toxicity of wild mushrooms. He also knows that she is going to make egg soup with mushrooms. He went to fetch seven or eight eggs from the carriage and brought them to her, "Take Come on, cook it yourself."

"Thank you, Deputy Lieutenant Chen."

Xu Qinyu thanked with a smile and took the egg.
