Tan immediately took the pheasant to process it and asked Qingzhu to boil some hot water for later use.

The other three people cleaned out the water celery, grass heads, wood ears and tea leaves picked today.

Water celery and grass heads are so fresh and tender that they cannot be stored, so they are fried and eaten at noon.

The fungus is kept for stewing chicken soup in the evening. After the impurities in the tea leaves are removed, they are spread out on small bamboo strips and dried in the shade.

After finishing all this, the brothers and sisters squatted next to Tan and watched the pheasant being processed.

The pheasant feathers are bright and beautiful, so I picked some and kept them to make a feather shuttlecock to play with when I have time.

Tan was very skillful. She cleaned the chicken feathers in just a few seconds and then cut open the chicken's belly with a knife.

"Mom, this chicken is so fat. There's almost half a bowl of chicken fat." Qing Ning felt that she was really lucky today.

"Yes, this chicken probably weighs four or five pounds." Tan's hands kept moving.

Qing Ning hurried to the kitchen and took out two bowls, one for the chicken oil and the other for the chicken offal.

"Mom, put the chicken fat in this bowl. You can use it to make some delicious dishes later."

Tan smiled and replied, "Leave the liver, heart, and gizzards of the chicken and throw away the rest."

"Mom, let me clean the internal organs. The chicken intestines will taste delicious after being processed." Qingning took the chicken internal organs and started to process them.

"What do you mean little sister, you can eat chicken intestines? Are you crazy about eating meat?"

Qingyu looked at his sister as if she was a fool. It was really hard to blame him since he had never seen anyone eat chicken intestines.

Qing Wu slapped him on the head in disdain: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qingyu touched his head and said unconvincedly: "I'm not talking nonsense. You guys can eat the chicken intestines, but I won't."

After saying this, he ignored the glaring look from his elder brother.

"Don't worry, Brother Four, this has been processed properly and there's no smell or odor at all."

Qing Ning explained nonchalantly, without stopping her hands.

"You can use it for stir-frying or making soup. Not only chicken intestines, but also duck intestines and pig intestines can be eaten. You just have to clean them well."

"I know pig intestines are edible. They are sold ready-made in this town, but the taste is really not that good." Tan frowned when she thought of the taste.

Qing Ning smiled confidently and said, "Just wait and see. I'm sure it will be delicious. I guarantee you'll love it."

When the others saw her like this, they all thought she was cute and just smiled and said yes.

Qing Ning didn't care what they were thinking and just focused on dealing with the internal organs and other things in his hands.

First, cut the chicken heart in half and clean the blood inside. Then slice the chicken liver and soak them in water together.

Use a knife to split the chicken gizzard open, pour out the undigested food inside, peel off the inner wall of the gizzard and clean it.

The inner wall of the gizzard is useful. It can be dried over fire and stored to exchange for money. It is a medicinal material.

I found a bamboo strip and cut open the chicken intestines to clean out the digestive matter.

He then got some wood ash from the stove, rubbed the chicken intestines with the ash, and washed them five times until they were white and odorless.

After soaking the chicken innards to remove the blood, rinse them several times with clean water, then cut some ginger into shreds and pour some wine to marinate, waiting to stew them together when making chicken soup in the evening.

"Mom, chop the chicken into smaller pieces. I'll cook today."

Qing Ning really wanted to do something within her ability. Although the original owner was only five years old, she was not. Cooking was really a piece of cake for her.

"No, what if you get burned when you're so young?" Tan refused without thinking.

"Oh no, Mom, I'll be careful."

Qing Ning kept making promises to Tan, acting coquettishly and begging.

Tan had no choice but to agree, but she repeatedly reminded him to be careful and not waste it.

"Thank you, Mom. I definitely won't do that. I'll fry two dishes for lunch. Mom, please try them and see if they taste good." Qing Ning looked at Tan playfully.

"Okay, I've already cooked the meal. You just stir-fry some dishes and we'll eat." Mrs. Tan couldn't bear to refuse the child's kindness.

Qing Ning called out to Qing Zhu for help: "Second sister, help me light the fire and I'll cook."

"Okay, now that the vegetables are cut, be careful when you go to the stove." Qingzhu sat behind the stove and gave instructions while lighting the fire.

After lighting the fire, he saw the pot was hot and smoking, so he reminded her, "The pot is hot, little sister, it's time to add water."

Qing Ning put the cleaned chicken fat directly into the pot and said to Qing Zhu, "Second sister, lower the heat so I can boil the chicken fat first. I'll make some new dishes for you to try today."

I moved a small stool, stood on it, and carefully turned it over with a shovel.

After a while, the pot began to sizzle, and the aroma of the chicken oil was stimulated by the heat, filling the entire kitchen, and even the yard was filled with the rich fragrance.

"It smells so good, the chicken oil smells so good." Qingzhu sniffed hard.

Qingwu and Qingyu outside the house were also attracted by the fragrance and stood by the stove looking at it eagerly.

Qingning's hands did not stop, and the chicken oil in the pot disappeared quickly, and soon it became a pool of shiny liquid.

Qingning found a clean ceramic jar and scooped out a lot of chicken oil, leaving only a little in the pot, ready to use for cooking.

Pour the water celery into the hot oil and stir-fry quickly for a few times. When the color becomes darker and the juice becomes more, add some coarse salt and stir-fry, then you can serve it on a plate.

"It smells so good! This is the first time I've seen food cooked with oil. The food looks so delicious with its shiny oil." Qingyu sniffed and swallowed a few times.

The second brother next to him and the second sister behind the stove also nodded in agreement.

Qing Ning didn't respond, thinking, "Oil-producing crops are scarce right now, so only the nobles would do this, but it's not common, let alone ordinary people."

I didn’t even wash the frying pan with lime, poured some oil into it, and made a wine vanilla head directly.

Heat the oil to 80% and use a spatula to pad the bottom to prevent the grass from sticking to the pan.

Put salt on the vegetables before pouring in the grass heads, stir-fry quickly after pouring in, pour in hot water at the same time, and continue to stir-fry until the grass heads change color.

When the grass head is almost cooked, spray it with a little white wine and then quickly put it on a plate.

The tender green and fragrance of the grass, mixed with the aroma of white wine, made several people salivate with greed.

"It's time to eat!"
