The chicken stewed with mushrooms has a history. It is said that it comes from a saying in the Northeast: "Uncle brought in the door, the chicken scared the soul". That is to say, when the newly married daughter and her husband return home, the natal family basically treats them with chicken stewed with mushrooms. Therefore, when the new uncle enters the gate of mother-in-law’s house, the chicken knows that his end is coming and he will be stewed with mushrooms. , As a delicacy dedicated to the new aunt, is this still not scaring the soul? It also means that this dish is a delicacy for honorable guests in the Northeast. It is better to eat four or two birds than half a catty of wild animals. The nutritional value of chicken stewed mushrooms is very high.

Using chicken stewed mushrooms to entertain your uncle, in addition to high nutritional value, there is another purpose, which is to test the new son-in-law's resilience. Whether the new son-in-law's head is good or not depends on this dish. The big guy said, what can the chicken stewed with mushroom noodles test? It turned out that the key to testing the new son-in-law was the noodles. The noodles made at home in the countryside are long. They are cooked and plated together. When they are ready to be eaten, they are cut and stewed with scissors. The noodles in the chicken stew mushrooms made for the new son-in-law were not cut off, so long and stewed in it. I don’t know if the son-in-law caught the noodles to eat, it would be counted. , I can’t eat my mouth when I eat, and it’s not the same thing when I put it back in the pot. I was so anxious that I blushed and my neck was thick. When the smarter son-in-law came to the house for the first time, he only ate chicken and mushrooms instead of noodles when eating this dish.

When I was young, my mother raised dozens of chickens every year. The hens usually lay eggs and sell them for money, or usually eat them at home. The roosters are reserved for Chinese New Year. When they enter the twelfth lunar month, they will be killed and frozen. In the first lunar month, there will be chicken from time to time. Of course, the most cooked dish is the classic Northeast dish [Chicken Stewed Mushrooms]. Today I made [Chicken Stewed Mushrooms], but the taste is no better than when I was a kid. I miss the deliciousness of childhood. "
