The men were very skillful and built a large and spacious rabbit house in just ten days. Today was the last day of work and there were only some finishing chores left. It was the last meal for the helpers, and Xu Congyi wanted to make it better. The staple food was egg fried rice. Yesterday, she was watching a TV series in her space. It happened to be the cartoon of Little Chef. She drooled at the sight of the golden egg fried rice. She remembered that she hadn't eaten egg fried rice for so long since she came here. It was just right to fry a big pot tomorrow to give to the helpers, so she simmered a pot of mixed grain rice in the evening, and the staple food for lunch was egg fried rice.

The last meal for the helper was not as formal as the first one. In addition, Xu Congyi's cooking principle is to cook in large quantities and deliciously. Except for the first meal which had four dishes, the remaining days had two dishes, one meat and one vegetable. The vegetarian dishes were also good with rice, such as three fresh vegetables and roasted eggplant. Xu Congyi didn't plan to cook too much today, so he would just make some potatoes, mushrooms, stewed chicken and minced meat tofu.

Both dishes are easy to make, but there was no fresh tofu at home. On the last day, Old Man Xu wanted to treat the men to a drink, so he went to the city to buy some wine, so he could buy some tofu. Because there were a lot of things to buy, he went directly to rent an ox cart from Big Brother Niu's house. Xu Congyi thought that once the rabbit business was doing well, he would also buy an ox cart for his family. Besides, he also had land at home, which could be used for plowing.

It is better to prepare the dishes first. The chicken nuggets are fresh meat chickens that Xu Congyi bought from the space. They are big in size, tender and not tough. They do not need to be stewed for too long, let alone blanched. So just chop them into small pieces and soak out the blood. Then prepare the ingredients and potatoes. The rest of the time can be used to make the popcorn needed for today.

By the time the popcorn was done, Old Man Xu had arrived home. This time he had a clear goal in mind when going to the county town, and he didn't wander around, so he went very quickly. He bought low-proof rice wine. After all, it was lunch, and if someone had something to do in the afternoon and drank too much, it would be a waste of time. Rice wine was just right, a small drink with the meal to satisfy your cravings without making you drunk easily.

First, make potatoes, mushrooms and chicken stew. The mushrooms are picked and dried in the mountains at home in summer, and Xu Congyi bought them from the space. The soaked mushrooms are fragrant. When washing the mushrooms, she washes them carefully with flour several times to ensure that there is no residual dirt. In this way, the water used to soak the mushrooms can be used directly to add flavor to the dish.

Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the fatty meat slices. When the fat in the meat slices is almost dried, add the chicken pieces that have been soaked in blood and drained of water. Stir-fry for a while until dry and fragrant. It is best to fry the chicken skin until golden brown. Pour in the scallion, ginger, star anise and peppercorns and stir-fry. Then add a little white wine to remove the fishy smell, soy sauce, a piece of sugar, a spoonful of soybean paste and a little more salt, and add boiled water and mushroom water. In fact, the general method is similar to that of the clay pot chicken, except that Xu Congyi removed the dried chilies.

Wait until the soup in the pot boils, skim off the foam with a spoon, cover the pot and simmer for a while. While the chicken was stewing, Xu Congyi cut the tofu into small pieces. Old Man Xu bought seven pieces of tofu, and Xu Congyi cut all of them. He also cut about a pound of pork and added some soy sauce to adjust the base flavor. After doing all this, Xu Congyi beat twelve eggs. She originally took out the yolks of six eggs and planned to mix them with the rice, so that it would be golden fried rice. When she opened the lid of the pot, she realized that she was stupid. The color of the multi-grain rice could not change to yellow no matter how she mixed the egg yolks. She could only silently pour the egg yolks back into the big bowl with the eggs.

Just as I poured the eggs back, Xu's mother and Li Dahua also came back. They went up the mountain to chop firewood again. After returning home, they washed their hands and went straight into the kitchen.

"My daughter, mother is here, is there anything I can do?"

Xu Congyi is now different from when she first came here. When she first came here, she always wanted to do something independently and could complete all the steps of cooking by herself. But now it is different. She often acts like a spoiled child with her family members and will actively seek help when she is too busy. She also never refuses help from her family members.

"The chicken should be almost done mom, throw in the potatoes and mushrooms!"

"What about me? What should I do?" Mother Xu looked at her precious granddaughter with a smile.

"Grandma, please help me cut some chopped green onions. If you cut more, I can use them when I fry rice and make tofu." Xu Congyi was using a spatula to chop up the overnight multi-grain rice in the big pot.

"After we finish this, there will be nothing left. Grandma, Mom, remember to boil some water. I can't cook or make fried rice today!"

"Okay!" Li Dahua was the first to complete the task and went to the well to fetch water. After a while, Xu's mother went out to boil the pot. Xu Congyi secretly looked at the watch. It was almost time, so he planned to make tofu and fried rice. Minced meat tofu is very simple. First, prepare a sauce. The sauce is very simple. Just mix soy sauce, salt, sugar, starch and water. Heat oil in the pot and add chopped green onions and soybean paste to fry until fragrant. She plans to try making some bean paste when she has some free time. With bean paste, she can also make more delicious Mapo tofu. After frying, add minced meat and fry until it changes color. Add tofu and pour the sauce on it and stew it. In order to make it more delicious, Xu Congyi puts more water in whether it is potato, mushroom stewed chicken or minced meat tofu. The soup is the best with rice.

The tofu can actually be served in a few minutes, but the men haven't come back yet, so they won't serve it out. The same goes for the potatoes, mushrooms and chicken nuggets, which are simmered on a low fire with less firewood. Xu Congyi plans to wait for the men to come back before making fried rice. After they wash their hands and faces, he will fry it in the pot that is boiling water outside.

It didn't take long to wait, just ten minutes before the men came back with Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu. Li Dahua quickly used a ladle to mix the hot water in a basin of cold water that had been filled in advance, and the warm water was just right for washing.

After freeing up the pot, Xu Congyi started frying egg fried rice in the yard, while the rest of the Xu family went into the house and served dishes in porcelain bowls. Heat the pot and pour in oil. Pour more oil. When the oil is hot, add half of the chopped green onions, stir-fry the green onion fragrance, mix the eggs evenly and pour them into the pot to fry. Add some salt to the eggs so that they taste good. While frying, shovel the eggs into small pieces. Xu Congyi did not serve the fried eggs, but directly put the rice in. It is best to use overnight rice for fried rice. The fried rice is distinct. Because of the blessing of the eggs, the yard is full of fragrance. The egg fried rice does not need extra seasoning, and it is delicious with only salt. Put the remaining chopped green onions before serving. The fragrance of green onions, eggs and rice is mixed together. The men who have worked all morning just feel hungry. At this time, the Xu family also brought out the remaining two dishes. The fragrance mixed together and even Xu Congyi couldn't help wiping his saliva.
