Chapter 203 Discussing Raising Chickens
Each of the burgers made by Xu Congyi was huge, comparable to two burgers in modern fast food restaurants, or even better. Therefore, after Xu Congyi enjoyed such a burger, paired with crispy and delicious chicken wings, chicken legs and a small pile of golden and tempting French fries, she felt an unprecedented sense of fullness and even burped unconsciously. Looking at the three tempting burgers left on the table, Xu Congyi thought about giving Shen Xiao one to eat in the evening.
As the whole family put down their tableware, Xu Congyi sat up straight, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She asked gently, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, big brother, and second brother, what do you think of the taste of today's meal?"
"Delicious! So delicious! It tastes so fragrant, and the fragrant and greasy feeling is so satisfying!" Xu Cong'an, whose foodie nature was fully exposed, spoke first.
"Yes, yes, that's the feeling. It's fragrant and oily, and very tempting." Xu's mother also nodded repeatedly.
Hearing the praise from his family, Xu Congyi changed the subject and led the topic to the highlight of the day - chicken: "Family, I also want to hear your opinions on the taste of today's chicken."
Xu Congyi really wanted to know what everyone thought of the taste of this chicken. After all, in this era, everyone eats local chickens and firewood chickens, and the meat is relatively hard and woody. He wondered whether everyone would agree with the taste of this kind of meat.
Upon hearing this, the family members fell into deep thought. They savored the aftertaste in their mouths and tried to describe the unique feeling in words. Finally, Father Xu spoke first: "Well, this chicken is indeed different from what we usually eat. It is more tender and juicy, and the taste is more delicate. It is not as hard and woody as the chicken we usually eat. This taste is really good, I like it very much."
Then Xu Congwen nodded and agreed: "Yes, this chicken is really juicy and tastes great. I can't help but want to eat a few more pieces."
Hunter Xu and Li Dahua also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, delicious, delicious, this kind of chicken is really good."
"Then, how about raising this kind of chicken at home? In fact, I tried to make a new dish at the Shen family before, which was favored by Mr. Tang, and he is willing to cooperate with me. And that dish happens to require chicken feet. I found that the chicken feet of this kind of chicken are meaty and very suitable. Moreover, the rest of this kind of chicken is also delicious and will not cause waste. So, I was thinking, can our family try to raise this kind of chicken? If the breeding is successful, we can let the villagers raise it together."
"Yiyi, your idea is indeed very far-sighted. Although there are many local chickens and firewood chickens on the market now, the shortcomings of their meat quality are also obvious. If we can breed this kind of chicken with tender meat and delicate taste, it is more likely to become a new favorite in the market." Mother Xu looked at her granddaughter with a loving face, her eyes full of pride and satisfaction: "Such a good thing should naturally be supported."
Although Xu Cong'an usually looks like a foodie, he is not vague at the critical moment: "Yes, there are me and my brother. We can go out and cut more grass to feed the chickens!"
It was finalized. Xu Congyi told his family that the white chickens in the chicken coop were the breeds he was going to raise, and they could be fed the same way as their own native chickens. This way, they could calculate how long it would take for these chickens to be ready for market.
Xu Congyi took a hamburger and some leftover fried food into the space. He put the fried food in the oven and heated the hamburger in the microwave. After the fried food was baked for ten minutes, Xu Congyi pressed the button and a slight buzzing sound suddenly rang out in the microwave, which was the melody of the food being heated quickly. A few minutes later, with a slight "ding" sound, the microwave stopped working, and a hot air mixed with the aroma of hamburger meat, crispy French fries and the rich aroma of fried chicken wings rushed to his face, instantly filling the entire space.
Shen Xiao smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the space. With a look of curiosity and anticipation, he said, "Yi Yi, are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?"
Xu Congyi smiled and placed the freshly heated delicacies on the table one by one, inviting Shen Xiao to taste them.
Shen Xiao looked at the steaming food with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He picked up a chicken wing and took a light bite. Because it was baked in the oven, some of the fat was baked out, and the outer skin still remained crispy, while the meat inside the hamburger became softer and juicier due to the heating in the microwave. Compared with when the hamburger bun was just out of the pan, although it lacked the immediate wheat aroma, it had a different kind of flexibility.
"Mm, it tastes really good!" Shen Xiao praised sincerely, "The chicken is so tender and juicy, so fragrant!"
Hearing Shen Xiao's praise, Xu Congyi was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, "I'm glad you like it. I was worried that you would think these leftovers are not fresh enough."
Shen Xiao shook his head and answered seriously: "The deliciousness of food does not entirely depend on whether it is fresh out of the pot. What is more important is to make it with heart and taste it with heart. Every piece of food you make can make me feel your heart, and this is the best taste."
"Smooth talk," Xu Congyi lightly twisted Shen Xiao's waist.
