Baiyue Cave Master

Wang Yuanchao walked slowly towards home in the light snow. When he arrived at the gate of his house,

Suddenly he took out two tied-up turtles from the space, then opened the gate and walked towards home.

When Widow Du saw Wang Yuanchao, who was soaked in snow and carrying things home, she hurried forward to greet him, and kept brushing the snow off Wang Yuanchao's body, saying:

"Yuan Chao, is this a turtle? Where did it come from?"

"Hey, someone gave it to me. It's hard to eat this kind of food in this weather.

So I didn’t refuse.

Come on, mom, let's add a dish tonight.

Go chop up two pheasants, and we'll have a Bawangbie chicken today."

Widow Du smiled and said:

"Okay, Yuan Chao, it looks like Yuan Yuan and I are in for a treat today."

"Hey, Mom, what you said is as if I have treated you and your mother unfairly."

Widow Du patted Wang Yuanchao gently and said:

"Hey, Mom is just teasing you.

By the way, Yuanyuan is about to give birth.

What exactly are you planning on doing, are you planning on delivering the baby at home?"

Wang Yuanchao shook his head and said:

"Yuanyuan is delivering her baby in the county this time. I have already asked someone to contact the county people's hospital.

Tomorrow our red brick factory will be closed after paying out wages and New Year benefits.

In the afternoon, I asked Liu Wanyou to drive us to the county town.

In the next few days, we will send Zizi and Nuannuan to Aunt Xinghua's house and let Aunt Xinghua and her family take care of them for a few days.

What do you think about the two of us accompanying Yuanyuan to stay in the hospital for a few days to wait for the birth of her baby?"

Widow Du looked at Wang Yuanchao with tender eyes and said softly:

"Well, you are the man of the family, we will all listen to your arrangements. I have no objection to your arrangements."

Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but kiss his mother-in-law, then said with a smile:

"Mom, come here, I'll teach you how to make this dish, Ba Wang Bie Chicken."

"Okay, aid Korea."

After the two entered the kitchen, Wang Yuanchao first slaughtered the two turtles and drained their blood. Then he removed the turtles' internal organs and the black film inside their bodies and chopped the two turtles into pieces.

After Wang Yuanchao finished collecting the soft-shelled turtles, he also took away the two pheasants from his mother-in-law.

Then Wang Yuanchao prepared ginger slices, garlic, chopped green onions, chili pepper peels, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and three taels of pork belly.

First pour in rapeseed oil, heat the pan, and then Wang Yuanchao stir-fry the pork belly until fragrant. After the fat is fried and the oil is released, scoop it out.

Use rapeseed oil and lard to stir-fry the fragrant oil, pour in the turtle pieces, and start stir-frying.

After frying the turtle pieces until browned, pour in the pheasant and add salt and continue frying. When the turtle and pheasant are fried in oil until browned,

Wang Yuanchao began to stir-fry ginger slices, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves, then poured in the previously fried pork belly, soy sauce, and white wine and continued to stir-fry for a while.

Wang Yuanchao poured well water into the pot, adjusted the seasoning, and started stewing.

After the high fire in the stove boils the water in the iron pot,

Wang Yuanchao began to reduce the firewood in the stove, turn down the fire, simmer slowly, and slowly reduce the juice.

When the sauce of the big pot of Ba Wang Bie Chicken is almost dried up, with a lot of soup left,

Wang Yuanchao took out a small iron pot and put all the vegetables into it.

Bring it into the house, place it on the clay stove that has been prepared long ago, and continue to stew on the stove.

In Hunan Province, this way of eating is called dry pot.

After Wang Yuanchao put the Ba Wang Bie Chicken away, Widow Du also brought the food that had been prepared and heated on the stove to the coffee table, and the family began to prepare for dinner.

Wang Yuanchao took out five pounds of wine from the jar, poured a glass for himself and his mother-in-law, sat on the sofa, listened to the rustling sound of snow outside the window, and drank it in small sips.

After taking a sip of wine, Wang Yuanchao scooped up a large piece of the turtle's skirt. It was soft, glutinous, and fragrant, and it was so delicious that it was unmatched.

For a moment, Wang Yuanchao looked at the snow outside the window, took a bite of meat and a sip of wine.

Suddenly, it seemed that this era without mobile phones was pretty good. People lived realistically and without pressure, which made Wang Yuanchao feel relaxed and enjoyable.

"Green ants and new wine, red clay stove. It's going to snow in the evening, can you have a drink?

Come on, mom, let's clink glasses and toast to life."

Widow Du smiled charmingly at Wang Yuanchao and said:

"Come on, Yuan Chao, let's have a drink. Mother likes your scholarly and vigorous look.

It’s really rare.”

"Haha, mom, you are so beautiful, so gentle, and so family-oriented. I love you too."

You have to know that in this era, women's thoughts tend to be faithful to one person.

When it comes to marriage, they have only one right to choose in their lifetime.

Even if you don't like it, you can't change it.

Unless one really cannot survive and wants to have a bite to eat, one would probably trade one's chastity for one's life.

In this era, there are very few people like Widow Du who are willing to sacrifice everything for their love and family, so Wang Yuanchao is really lucky to have met one.

"Yuan Chao, why do I feel that the wine brewed this year tastes better than in previous years?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled in his heart. That's right. In the past, in order not to waste grapes, Wang Yuanchao mixed the grapes picked from the mountains with the grapes in the space to make wine.

This year, Wang Yuanchao really didn’t have much time to go to the mountains to pick up mountain products, so the mountain products and game at home were all taken out from the space.

Wouldn't it be possible that wine made from grapes grown with spiritual spring water in space would taste better than wine made from mixed grapes in the past?

But Wang Yuanchao certainly couldn't tell his mother-in-law about this, so he raised his wine bowl and clinked glasses with Widow Du again, then said with a smile:

"Really? I can't tell. If the wine brewed this year is better than before, then my winemaking skills must have improved."

Widow Du drank her wine happily and said cheerfully:

“That should be the case. After all, brewing wine requires practice to become proficient.

Well, this year's wine is so delicious, so delicious,

I could drink forever.”

This made Zhang Yuanyuan, who was eating the food next to her, very greedy. She looked at Wang Yuanchao pitifully and said:

"My Lord, I want to drink wine, too."

Seeing this, Wang Yuanchao put down his bowl and chopsticks helplessly, hugged Zhang Yuanyuan in his arms, and while stroking Zhang Yuanyuan's big belly, he coaxed her and said:

"My dear wife, we are about to give birth.

Just bear with it for a while. After the baby is born and the confinement period is over, you can drink as much as you want. The men will accompany you, okay?"

Zhang Yuanyuan listened to Wang Yuanchao's coaxing, but still pouted her lips and looked at Wang Yuanchao with longing, without blinking.

Wang Yuanchao felt a headache when he saw this, so he thought for a moment and said:

"Wife, I definitely can't let you drink alcohol. Can I squeeze you a glass of apple juice?"

Zhang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up and she said happily:

"Okay, thank you, sir."
