"Other mushrooms can also be made, but there is one drawback, which is that they cannot be allowed to get damp, otherwise they will easily go bad because there are no additives."

Shen Xuening cleaned a portion of matsutake mushrooms, cut them into slices, and placed them one by one on a baking tray. "To avoid burning the mushrooms, we use a low-temperature, slow-bake method, which can be set to 50-55 degrees Celsius and continued to bake for about 2 hours."

"Bake for about an hour, turn it over, dry the surface with paper towels, and continue baking."

Shen Xuening pushed the baking tray into the oven and set the timer: "Let's bake it first. We can't waste time in the meantime. Let's make the other two dishes."

"It takes a long time to stew, let's make the chicken soup first."

"Chop the chicken into pieces. These are chickens from my chicken farm. They've been fed grain since they were young. The skin is golden brown and the meat is very firm. After chopping them into pieces, blanch them in a pot."

“When blanching, add two slices of old ginger, a scallion knot, and a large spoonful of sorghum wine.”

"This sorghum wine is made by my grandfather himself, who roasted the sorghum at the winery. It's very fragrant. If you add some to your cooking, the meat won't have any fishy smell at all."

"Put the lid on and wait for it to boil."

Shen Xuening took a portion of matsutake mushrooms to wash. "Mushrooms break easily, so be careful when washing them. It's best to wash them under running water to wash away the mud and sand."

"I washed it three times, then placed it on a cutting board and cut it horizontally and vertically, cutting each mushroom into quarters."

"Put the chopped mushrooms in a bowl and add them in after the chicken soup has simmered for half an hour."

The pot wasn't boiling yet, and Shen Xue Ning went to get a piece of lean meat. "This is a piece of pork hind leg. I raised the pig myself and just slaughtered it today. I asked my mother to save some for me. The meat hasn't been washed yet. You can see the shiny surface and bright color. This is the kind of pork you should choose when buying pork."

As she spoke, Shen Xuening sliced the meat thinly and placed the slices in a small bowl: "Next, let's marinate the meat."

"Add Sichuan peppercorns, broad bean paste, soy sauce, and sweet potato starch, then mix everything evenly. You can add some scallion and ginger water, but make sure it's absorbed into the meat so that the meat is tender when fried."

"Okay, let's put the marinated meat slices aside for a while and look at the pot. It's boiling."

Shen Xuening opened the pot's lid. Bubbles rose from the pot, emitting the aroma of chicken. "Everyone, look, the chicken isn't very dirty. There isn't much dirt on the surface."

As she spoke, she prepared some hot water, then took the chicken out of the water and placed it in the hot water: "By washing the chicken with hot water, we won't have to deal with the blood foam."

Shen Xuening took out a casserole, filled it halfway with water, put it on the gas stove, and lit it to heat.

Meanwhile, she washed the chicken in hot water and placed it in the casserole.

After washing all the chicken and putting it into the casserole, she added three slices of ginger, a few peppercorns, one star anise, and half a spoonful of salt into the casserole, and then stewed it.

Suddenly, the timer bell rang.

"Our one-hour timer is up." Shen Xue Ning turned off the timer bell, then opened the oven, took out the baking tray, wiped off the water on the matsutake slices with kitchen paper, then turned them over, put them back in the oven, and continued baking.

Time it again for an hour.

Shen Xuening picked up a spoon and stirred the chicken in the casserole, fearing that it would stick to the pot.

"Next, let's wash the last batch of matsutake mushrooms." Shen Xuening took the third batch of matsutake mushrooms to the sink to wash. "You don't have to go through so much trouble at home. You can wash them all at once. I washed them in three batches for the filming."

After Shen Xuening cleaned the matsutake mushrooms, she put them on the chopping board and cut them into slices. She then cut some garlic slices, chili peppers and other side dishes, and then stir-fried the lean meat.

Shen Baohong couldn't help but say, "Xue Ning, I remember you didn't know how to cook when you came back?"

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Yeah, I didn't know how to cook any of them. Now I know how to cook a lot of dishes."

Shen Baohong jokingly asked, "Are there ten?"

Shen Xue Ning said, "You're looking down on me. Cooking has its commonalities. After learning a few dishes, you'll master certain tricks. At this point, learning from videos will be a piece of cake."

Shen Baohong thought about it and said, "That's right, I'm narrow-minded."

The chicken soup in the casserole had been cooking for half an hour. Shen Xuening poured the matsutake mushrooms into it, pressed them into the water with a spoon, and continued to stew.

Shen Baohong said, "I can't imagine how delicious this pot of soup can be."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "You'll know after trying it."

Shen Baohong asked: "Can I drink the first bowl?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "Sure, call everyone back for dinner later and let them taste the delicious matsutake mushrooms."

"Then I'll notify everyone right away." Shen Baohong took out his mobile phone and @ everyone in the family group, asking everyone to come back and drink the chicken soup, which was guaranteed to be so delicious that it would make everyone's eyebrows drop.

Shen Dong: "What kind of soup can make your eyebrows fall off?"

Shen Baohong: "Keep it secret!"

Shen Dong: “…”

Grandpa Shen: "Leave one bowl for me, so I can broaden my horizons. If Shen Baohong is lying, I will definitely give him a slap on the butt."

Shen Baohong: "Grandpa, I'm afraid your slap won't hit me today."

Grandpa Shen: "Just wait, you'll know when the time comes."

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Xuening prepared a few more dishes. If everyone came back to eat, two dishes would definitely not be enough.

With so much work, an hour passed quickly.

The timer rang, and Shen Xue Ning turned it off. Then she took the baking tray out of the oven and put it aside to dry. She went to get the blender and turned it on.

Shen Xuening glanced at the camera and said, "The matsutake slices in the baking tray have all been dried out and become hard. I'll use a blender to grind them up later and use them as chicken essence."

She fanned the matsutake slices to speed up the cooling process.

After the matsutake slices cooled down, she transferred them to a blender, started the blender, and soon they were all ground into powder.

She poured out the powder and let Shen Baohong taste it.

Shen Baohong scooped a little with a small spoon and put it in his mouth. He was very surprised. "It smells so good, so good, and slightly sweet. It's a hundred times more delicious than chicken essence, and it has the taste of nature. If you have the conditions, you must try it. It allows you to experience the deliciousness of nature."

Shen Xuening dipped her finger in some and tasted it: "It is indeed very delicious. If you add some when cooking, it will definitely improve the taste."

Shen Baohong said like a treasure: "Add some when cooking later, it will definitely surprise everyone."

Shen Xuening nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

After a little tidying up, Shen Xuening started to stir-fry the lean meat. First, fry the lean meat slices, then put them in, and stir-fry the matsutake slices. After the matsutake slices are fried, put the lean meat slices in, and then put in the peppers and other side dishes. No other things need to be added. Just fry the side dishes until they are cooked and remove from the pan.

The aroma from the kitchen filled the air, making Shen Baohong salivate. "I know it's delicious even before I try it."

Liu Juan came back from outside: "Xue Ning, what are you cooking? It smells so good."

"Mom, dinner will be ready soon." Shen Xuening called out, and then continued to cook. She added a spoonful of matsutake powder to the dishes later, and the fragrance was instantly doubled. If you didn't know, you would think it was some kind of technology and hard work.

After all the dishes were cooked, Shen Xuening opened the lid of the casserole. A rich aroma of chicken soup rushed into Liu Juan's nose, spreading in all directions. She was so attracted by the aroma that she was stunned: "What kind of soup is this?"

"Chicken soup." Shen Xue Ning sprinkled in a handful of wolfberries as garnish, then took out a large basin and poured all the chicken soup into it.

The soup is light yellow in color, the chicken is clearly visible, and it is dotted with matsutake mushrooms and wolfberries, which looks very beautiful.

Liu Juan gave a high evaluation: "This pot of chicken soup is worth a thousand."

Shen Baohong said: "Third Aunt is a person who knows what's good."

Mrs. Shen just came to the kitchen and said, "Baohong, how can you talk like that? You're so disrespectful."

Liu Juan smiled and said, "It's okay, I was just joking."

The family members came home one by one to help serve the dishes and get the bowls, and the business was soon developed.

Shen Xue Ning served a bowl to each person. Shen Wenxu didn't go home for lunch, so Shen Xue Ning left a bowl for him and waited for him to come back in the evening to eat. They gave each person a bowl and shared all the soup.

Shen Baohong said, "This is chicken soup made with 1,100-pound matsutake mushrooms. Everyone, hurry up and try it."

"One thousand per jin?" Grandpa Shen was stunned. "Is matsutake mushroom so expensive?"

Shen Baohong said as a matter of course: "Of course, our matsutake mushrooms are of the highest quality, and the highest quality ones are so expensive."

Everyone couldn't bear to drink the chicken soup in their hands.

Shen Xue Ning said: "Mushrooms are for people to eat and should serve people. Don't be swayed by the price. Come and try it." After saying that, he took a bite first.

If Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup is full of medicinal fragrance, then Matsutake chicken soup is delicious, incomparably delicious. The phrase "it's so delicious that it makes your eyebrows fall off" is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

Shen Baohong commented: "The chicken soup is clear and translucent, the chicken is tender and crispy, the matsutake mushrooms are crispy and tender, and the soup base is fresh and fragrant. I wouldn't change it for a thousand yuan."

Everyone was impressed by the Matsutake chicken soup in their hands, and they probably will never forget this delicious taste.

At the same time, Wen Cheng and Mu Mingshan also drank the matsutake chicken soup. After drinking the soup, they saw shock in each other's eyes. They knew it was delicious just by looking at the color of the soup, but they didn't expect it to be so delicious. I'm afraid that if they drink soup again in the future, they will feel unsatisfactory, as if it is a ceiling.

Tan Zhang also drank the matsutake chicken soup. The chickens in his family were bought from Shen Xuening, so the matsutake chicken soup he stewed was almost the same as the one Shen Xuening had at home. It completely broke his perception of chicken soup and refreshed the delicious impression in his mind.

"These few thousand dollars are well spent. Nothing at Boss Shen's place disappoints."

"Son, please order another five pounds of matsutake mushrooms and ten snow lotus flowers for us. Do it after dinner, otherwise we won't be able to order them."

"Okay, okay, I'll order it for you after dinner." Tan Wenfeng said secretly. He ordered five kilograms of matsutake mushrooms and twenty snow lotus flowers, and ten for his father-in-law.
