Chapter 17 Fried Chicken Reward
When Xu Minghao heard it, his face turned red. He didn't expect that Lin Shuran had discovered the scene just now. He felt ashamed and anxious, so he shut his mouth tightly and stopped talking.

"Miss, what reward do we have for winning today?" Er Zhu wiped the sweat off his face, what he was looking forward to most was Lin Shuran's reward.

"What reward do you want?" In the past three years, she has become familiar with children like Dazhu and Erzhu, and they also like and respect her very much.

"Can I have fried chicken again?" Erzhu said, the corner of his mouth was about to flow out. During the Chinese New Year, Lin Shuran personally made fried chicken for these children. He will never forget that feeling in his life.

"Okay, I'll reward you with fried chicken!" As soon as Lin Shuran finished speaking, the children of the Grange team cheered and jumped up happily, but the Xu family brothers were stunned, what fried chicken?They have never heard of it.

"As for the punishment for losing, the rice in the field should be harvested these few days, so you should follow along to harvest the rice, at least three acres of land!" The young masters of the Xu family have never done farm work before, and Lin Shuran didn't particularly embarrass them , followed by the long-term workers in the village, they first familiarized themselves with the farmland.

"Let us harvest rice? Isn't that the work of servants?" Xu Minghan, the youngest of the Xu family, looked reluctant.

"I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, why, can't afford to lose?" Lin Shuran's voice deliberately slowed down, as if suspicious.

Xu Minghan turned around awkwardly, and said, "Whoever can't afford to lose, just go!"

Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan curled their lips. They don't know how to harvest rice, but they caused trouble. Lin Shuran can't blame them.

"Miss, do you really want to let the young masters go to the fields to harvest rice?" Even Chunxi felt that something was wrong this time. How can the young master of the Xu family be a nobleman? unfavorable.

"Of course, I'm willing to bet and lose. What others can do, they can do too!" Lin Shuran didn't plan to spoil the Xu family brothers, who said that the young master of the noble son can't work in the fields.

Seeing Lin Shuran, Madam Zhang gave some hints, but no one could change Lin Shuran's decision. She cheerfully went into the back kitchen to make fried chicken for Da Zhu and the others.

Lin Shuran asked the cook in the back kitchen to clean up a few domestic chickens. In the past three years, her farm has realized the freedom to eat chickens. Every year, the servants of the farm will successfully hatch many chickens with eggs according to the method she said. These chickens are raised in the fruit forest, so that the chickens raised in this way are fat and big, and they lay many eggs.

The cook in the back kitchen of the farm slaughtered the live chicken, cleaned it, drained the water for later use, and then marinated the whole chicken. Lin Shuran made a special sauce with ginger, pepper, salt, wine, sugar and other seasonings. Spread these sauces evenly on the surface and inside of each chicken, and marinate for about two quarters of an hour.

The next step is to prepare the fried chicken powder. Due to the limited ingredients, Lin Shuran mixed flour, sweet potato starch, some salt, pepper powder, etc. and mixed them evenly, and then coated each chicken evenly with the powder.

The last step is to pour oil into the big pot and start frying. In this step, the heat and oil temperature must be controlled so as to keep the chicken more crispy.

The scent wafting from the back kitchen had already caused Da Zhu and the others to salivate. Even Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng who had been following Lin Shuran were looking at Lin Shuran's busy figure in the kitchen.

Soon, Lin Shuran made fried chicken. This time, she was very generous and asked people to slaughter ten chickens. She sent one each to Uncle Wu, Mr. Bai and Fan Xiucai, and Da Zhu won The child shared five chickens in total, and the remaining two were distributed to the three nurses, and she kept one for herself.

"Come on, old nine, old ten, each of you will give you a chicken leg!" Lin Shuran carried the fried chicken into the house, and the two little tails, Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng, followed behind her buttocks, and she had heard the sound of swallowing a long time ago. So he put down the plate and tore off two chicken legs and gave them one for each of them.

"Thank you, mother!" The two little guys didn't pretend to be reserved anymore. It was the limit of the two of them that they could hold on to eating without opening their mouths. One bite, it was crispy and crispy, and it had a special aroma stimulation Looking at the taste buds, "Mom, this is delicious!"

Xu Mingsheng's eyes were full of shining stars, and the smile on his face was obvious, but Xu Mingsong was so hungry that he didn't even want to say anything, he just kept nodding and biting.

"Chunxi, here are your chicken wings!" Lin Shuran tore off another chicken wing and gave it to Chunxi who was standing aside. Chunxi hurriedly smiled and reached out to take it, "Thank you ma'am!"

I'm afraid that people outside don't know that her young lady is very good at cooking. In the past three years, Lin Shuran didn't really cook many times, but every time the food she made was mouth-watering and unforgettable.

"Mother, this fried chicken is so delicious, do you really not want my brothers to taste it?" Even in the face of delicious food, Xu Mingsheng, who was only three years old, did not forget his brothers.

"Next time if they win the competition, I'll do it again if I want to eat!" Lin Shuran replied with a smile.

"And next time?" Xu Mingsong, who had already gnawed the chicken leg clean, asked with bright eyes.

"It depends on whether your brothers dare to compete next time. In the Grange, Dazhu and the others will organize their own competitions every once in a while, and the prizes are different each time. If you are in the Grange When you grow up, you will know!" Lin Shuran is now worried that Xu Mingchen and the others will not adapt to the farm, and will find a way to leave here at that time.

"Of course my brothers dare!" In Xu Mingsong's mind, his brothers are not cowards who are afraid of losing, but just love to cause trouble.

Maybe it was because of something, Lin Shuran just tore another chicken wing for Xu Mingsong, who had eaten it, when he heard a commotion outside, and the sound of many people running and shouting.

"What happened?" Lin Shuran hurriedly got up and walked outside. At this moment, Nanny Zhang hurried over and told her that there was a fire in the rice field outside. The fire was raging right now, and everyone was fighting the fire.

"Where are the young masters?" Lin Shuran's heart was agitated in an instant, and she asked Chunxi to take care of the two young ones, and then she rushed outside.

There was thick smoke in the rice field in the distance, and people were running around. Lin Shuran didn't care about other things, and rushed to the burning rice field, anxiously looking for the figures of Xu Mingchen and his children, but found that they and Da Zhu's children were helping to put out the fire.

"Call the young masters and Da Zhu back, and let someone dig the drainage ditch to bring in the lake water!" Lin Shuran loudly ordered Zhang Tang and others who were fighting the fire, and Zhang Tang, whose face was already covered in ashes, ran away Xu Mingchen and the others were beside them, but Xu Mingchen and the others shook their heads and refused.

"Leave us alone, put out the fire!" Seeing that the large golden rice fields were about to be destroyed by the fire, Xu Mingchen and the others couldn't care about anything. Although they were still children, they also knew how important food is to people. In the famine year, because there was no food to eat, it is said that many places in the Jin Dynasty starved to death.
