Chapter 215 Beggar Chicken

Xianghuan quickly came out of the kitchen, "Miss, there are chickens in the kitchen."

"Hurry, hurry, go pick lotus leaves." When Zhou Ru heard there was a chicken in the kitchen, she couldn't wait, "Sister Song, how many lotus leaves do you need to pick?"

"Two lotus leaves are enough for one chicken."

Zhou Ru waved her slender hand and asked Xianghuan to pick several lotus leaves. Then she took Song Ning and went to the kitchen without stopping.

This girl is really impatient. Song Ning was speechless and asked her to appoint someone to find an open place to start a fire and dig some yellow mud for use.

So, Zhou Yin and Xiang Huan were assigned to the work, while Song Ning went to the kitchen with Zhou Ru, prepared the chicken, seasoned it and then wrapped it in lotus leaves. This time, they used two chickens.

On the other side, Zhou Yin found a cool and open place and quickly started a fire. Xiang Huan picked up a small basket and went to dig yellow mud. Mu Dun was the best at this. He usually used yellow mud to make various small things.

Mudun followed Xianghuan and even taught her how to dig. In the end, he just started digging himself, which amazed Xianghuan.

"Mudun, I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age." She was even a little frustrated. It was just digging mud, but she couldn't even dig better than a child.

Mudun put the excavated yellow mud into the small basket and said proudly: "You will know that I know more in the future."

Song Ning and Zhou Ru brought out the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves. The fire was already lit and the yellow mud was dug back. Song Ning rolled up his sleeves and started working, adding a little water to the yellow mud to make it sticky, and then smeared the yellow mud on the lotus leaves wrapped around the chicken.

After the whole thing was paste-coated, it looked like a big round mud ball. Zhou Ru and her two servants couldn't help but doubt when they saw it. Can this chicken covered with mud really be eaten?

Song Ning looked at the expressions of the three of them and found it funny. "Just a moment, and I'll let you witness a miracle."

Throw the chickens wrapped in yellow mud into the firewood pile and bury them with the charcoal fire that was previously burned.

"Okay, we can dig them out in about an hour."

"It takes so long!" Zhou Ru couldn't wait any longer, but she didn't expect it would take an hour to bake.

After washing their hands, they set up a small table under the shade of the tree, brought out some fruits, snacks and tea, and passed the time while waiting.

Finally, after a long hour, Song Ning stood up and guided Zhou Yin to dig out the two beggar chickens from the firewood pile. Except for Song Ning, everyone else looked at the two hard, round balls of earth in bewilderment.

Is this...really edible?

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me?" Song Ning smiled and urged Zhou Yin to bring the two "balls" over. "Hurry up and bring them over. Be careful of the burn!" She spread two lotus leaves on the table and asked Zhou Yin to put the two soil balls on the lotus leaves.

He found a handy object and knocked on the two balls of soil. Soon, the outer layer of soil cracked and fell off, and the chicken meat with the fragrance of lotus leaves immediately overflowed.

Yangyang took a deep breath and said, "Mom, it smells so good!"

Zhou Ru's performance was no less impressive. She quickly squeezed over, got close and took a deep sniff, without any of the reserve that a lady from a wealthy family should have.

Song Ning peeled off the outer layer of soil and threw it away, then opened the lotus leaf inside, revealing the whole chicken that was roasted to a fresh, fragrant and tender texture. The aroma of meat immediately filled the air. Seeing their unanimous expressions, their saliva was about to flow to the ground, and Song Ning instantly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She washed her hands, tore off two chicken legs and handed them to the two children, "Here, take them, be careful of the heat!" Then she urged Zhou Ru and her servants, "Don't just stand there, get started. This is called flower chicken, you have to tear off a piece yourself, it tastes better."

After that, she tore off a wing and started eating it. Seeing this, Zhou Ru, who had been eager to try it, no longer hesitated and rolled up her sleeves to get started.

Xiang Huan hurriedly said: "Miss, let me help you!"

"No, I want to do it myself. You guys eat yours and leave me alone."

Zhou Ru imitated what Song Ning had done just now and tore off a chicken leg. She had never had the experience of eating something directly with her hands, so she couldn't help but find it extremely fresh.

Seeing that Zhou Yin and Xiang Huan didn't move, Song Ning urged them, "You two, stop standing there and get started! You two are the ones who have to work the hardest, making the fire and digging the mud."

Zhou Yin shook his head, "It's not hard."

Xiang Huan smiled and said, "I didn't help much. Mudun dug the yellow mud, and he thought I didn't dig it well."

At Song Ning's urging, the two of them tore off a wing each and started eating. The tender and smooth chicken, infiltrated with the fragrance of lotus leaves, was so delicious that it left a lingering fragrance in the mouth. What a delicacy!

Zhou Yin ate the chicken wing and fell into deep thought, thinking that he often traveled back and forth between the capital and Pingyang County, sleeping in the open air, and sleeping in the wilderness was a common thing. If he could eat something like this on the road, it would be much better than chewing dry food with his neck stretched out. He would go back and ask Lady Hang for advice.

"It's delicious, so delicious!" After Yangyang finished eating the chicken leg, he kept licking his fingers, even the gravy on them.

Song Ning tore off the last wing and handed it to Yangyang, and pushed the remaining chicken bones and chicken breast to Mudun, asking him to tear it off and eat it himself.

The aroma of meat drifted to all parts of the farm along the wind, causing the people working on the farm to stop and watch from afar, wondering what delicious food their masters were cooking. The fragrance was impossible to cover up.

The two chickens were quickly eaten up by several people, and even the bones were almost gnawed into pieces before being swallowed.

"Sister Song, you are so amazing! Everything that passes through your hands will become more delicious." Zhou Ru was still a little unsatisfied. In the past, she didn't think chicken was such a delicious ingredient, until today, she had a completely changed view of chicken.

"Sister Song, besides being able to cook this beggar's chicken, what other kinds of chicken can you make? Let's try something different next time!"

Before Song Ning answered, Yangyang started to show off, "Mom can do a lot. She can make kiln chicken, salt-baked chicken, three-cup chicken, and scallion oil braised chicken..."

Zhou Ru and her two servants heard it with wide eyes, but Song Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

My mother has a big son! If you keep talking, you will expose all my secrets...
