"Well... five chickens should be enough. You can't just eat chicken. It's okay to add some other side dishes.

Okay, today’s main dish for lunch is beggar’s chicken!Kangna, give me these five chickens and I'll take care of them! "

Kang Na nodded cutely and handed the five pheasants to Xiang Ling.

At this time, Ying recalled the problem just now.

When did Conner catch these five pheasants?Why don't you have any impression at all?Not aware at all?

But soon, Ying stopped thinking about this issue because he was distracted by Xiang Ling's operation.

Although Xiangling plays with guns, as a chef, she cannot do without good knife skills, so Xiangling also plays tricks with knives.

Taking out the kitchen knife she carried with her, Xiang Ling slaughtered the five pheasants with ease, bleeding them, plucking them, disemboweling them, cleaning them, and processing them all cleanly.

While Xiang Ling was handling the chickens here, Lei Dianshuo was not idle either. He went to dig a hole of a suitable size in the land nearby.

Not only did they dig the hole, Raiden Shuo also found enough clods of soil, Ying picked up enough firewood around, and Paimon followed Xiang Ling's instructions and found many wide and large leaves.

All in all, for delicious food, everyone has a division of labor.

As a child, Kangna was specially taken care of by everyone and no work was assigned to her.

Kangna sat quietly next to them the whole time, carefully observing everyone's actions.

It was easy for Raiden Shuo to dig a hole, and it was even easier to understand for Ying to collect firewood. Paimon couldn't understand that only looking for the wide and big leaves.

Paimeng held the big leaves he had found and floated them to Xiang Ling in front of him.

"Xiang Ling, look, are these leaves enough?"

Putting down the slaughtered chicken in her hand, Xiangling looked at the leaves that Paimeng had brought over and nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, these quantities and these leaves are enough! Paimon, thank you for your hard work, please put them here first."

Paimon, who was swaying and unable to support the weight, was finally able to place the object in his hand at the place designated by Xiang Ling.

After putting it down, Paimon floated up again. She breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her head:

“Phew…fortunately it didn’t mess up.

By the way, Xiangling, you want me to find so many big leaves. What are they for?Do you need such big leaves to make the beggar chicken? "

At this time, Xiangling began to apply marinade on the slaughtered chicken. As she applied it, she explained to Paimon:

“You don’t need it to make other chickens, but you do need such big leaves to make beggar chickens.

In fact, it is best to use wide and large lotus leaves. The beggar's chicken made with lotus leaves has the fragrance of lotus leaves.

Unfortunately, where can I find lotus leaves in the fields of Mondstadt?It can only be replaced by some wide ordinary leaves. "

Paimon listened in confusion, but still nodded pretending to understand:

"Oh, oh, it turns out I should use lotus leaves."

Paimon, who didn't understand and pretended to understand, was too embarrassed to continue asking. She simply floated here and watched everyone work, but she was really lazy.

Paimon saw that Raiden Shuo had dug a pit and built a pointed pyramid-like structure on top of the pit with earth blocks, but with a hollow interior.

Paimon also saw that Ying had brought over a lot of firewood, which should be enough to burn for a while.

Paimon saw again that Xiangling had marinated and butchered the chicken, and wrapped the chicken tightly with wide leaves.

Then, Xiangling started to get involved with... mud again! ?

Paimon reacted and stared dumbfounded at Xiangling's movements, watching Xiangling mix the delicate mud with a serious look on his face.

Finally, under Paimeng's disbelieving gaze, Xiangling applied the reconciled mud on the chicken wrapped in leaves!

When he saw this scene, Paimon was so anxious that he quickly floated over to stop him:

"Hey, hey, hey! Xiangling! What are you doing! Stop it!"

422. Five big black clods

Seeing Paimeng's anxious look, Xiangling explained in a funny way:

"Paimon, don't worry. This is a necessary step to make a beggar's chicken. You must apply the reconciled mud on it."

"But if this happens, can the chicken still be eaten? Wouldn't it be dirty?"

"It won't be dirty. I've wrapped the chicken tightly with leaves before, so the mud on the outside won't stick to the chicken."

"Really...really?" Paimeng looked at the half-coated chicken on Xiangling's hand with doubt: "Okay...it seems to be true, Xiangling, you must use leaves to coat the chicken." It’s wrapped, I don’t want to eat mud.”

"Don't worry, I'm a professional!"

Saying this, Xiangling continued to operate.

Paimon floated next to Xiang Ling with complete uneasiness, paying attention to Xiang Ling's movements, as if to prevent the chicken from getting muddy.

But Xiangling is Xiangling after all, and the technique is quite professional. The leaves on the chicken are wrapped very tightly, and the outermost layer of mud does not contaminate the chicken at all.

In this way, the five slaughtered chickens were all wrapped in leaves and smeared with mud. Five large, dark, round lumps of mud were freshly baked.

Paimon next to him looked at these five big lumps of mud with an indescribable expression.

No matter how you imagine it, these five big lumps of mud have nothing to do with the word delicious, right?

But when he thought that these five big lumps of mud were filled with chicken, Paimon seemed to be able to accept some of them.

"Xiang Ling, Xiang Ling, what should we do next?"

"Next, we have to wait for Shuo and the travelers to light the fire."

After hearing Xiang Ling's answer, Paimon turned around and looked.

It turns out that Lei Dianshuo and Ying over there have been fighting for a while.

They lit the fire in the dug pit with the firewood they collected. The raging fire continued to burn the soil blocks piled above, and even red flames continued to spurt out from the gaps between the soil blocks. It was visible inside. How strong is the fire?

At this point, some people may ask, why can't we just ask the rice cooker to light the fire?Isn’t Guoba Xiangling’s best friend and chef’s assistant?

If you are cooking normally on the stove, Xiangling may really need the rice cooker to help burn the fire. After all, the fire power emitted by the rice cooker is very strong.

But not this time.

Because the fire this time is to be made from the earth pit below, burning the earth lumps built above, and heating these earth lumps to a certain extent.

Guoba's fire-breathing is impactful. If it spits fire at this pile of soil, the heat may be enough, but it will definitely blow away the pile of soil and bombard it.

So at this time, the rice cooker is no longer useful, and the fire can only be controlled manually.

The fire burned for a long time, and the soil above the pit was heated to an unimaginable temperature.

Lei Dianshuo looked at the flames in front of him and felt that the time and temperature were almost there, so he nodded towards Xiang Ling.

Xiangling caught the look and nodded excitedly.

Then, Xiang Ling quickly and accurately threw five large black mud chunks from the hollow below into the blazing fire pit.

After the five large mud blocks entered the flames, Lei Dianshuo smashed the earth blocks on top without hesitation.

The burning hot earth suddenly collapsed, and the hollow, pointed pyramid suddenly turned into a pile of ruins.

The collapsed soil not only submerged the five large soil blocks that had just been thrown in, but also submerged the pit that had been burning. Even the fire that had been burning was almost extinguished by covering it.

Seeing this, Lei Dianshuo quickly shoveled some more soil from the surrounding area, covered the collapsed fire pit with new soil, and completely extinguished the smoldering fire.

Although this is a process of extinguishing fire, it is also a process of heat preservation, which can keep an extremely high temperature in the pit under the soil.

Lei Dianshuo didn't stop until there was no more smoke, until there were no sparks at all, and until the soil here was covered tightly.

After confirming that there was not much smoke left, Lei Dianshuo nodded with satisfaction:

"That's alright, all you have to do is wait."

"Wait?" Pamon floated over and couldn't help but ask: "How long do we need to wait?"

"You need to wait for the chicken below to be cooked thoroughly at high temperature. This time really needs to wait a while."

"Huh? It takes so long."

Pamon frowned, obviously impatient to wait.

Xiangling next to her said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, if you have a good meal, you won't be late.

Let's take advantage of this time to prepare other side dishes. When we are ready, the beggar's chicken will be almost ready! "

Reasonable allocation of time is a required skill for a chef, and Xiangling does this very well.

The previous beggar's chicken procedure was really complicated and took everyone all the steps and time.

The remaining waiting time must be fully utilized to make the remaining side dishes.

There’s nothing more to say, Chef Xiangling, please help, and the fresh side dishes were quickly sorted out by Xiangling.

Just when the side dishes are finished, time is almost up.

Lei Dianshuo and Xiang Ling came to the covered mound. They looked at the small mound and fell into deep thought.

"Shuo, you control the heat. Do you think it's almost time?"

"I think it's almost time. Our fire was burning very bright just now, and the temperature down there is definitely not low."

"Well... then... let's take the pot?"

Lei Dianshuo thought for a moment and nodded seriously:

"Well, out of the pot! No, out of the pit!"

Just like that, under the expectant eyes of Ying and Paimon, Lei Dianshuo and Xiang Ling started to take action.

They opened up the new soil covering the small pit, and the dark, burnt soil below appeared in front of everyone.

When the black soil appeared, the still burning smoke below began to emerge again, which showed that the temperature below was still very impressive.

After picking for a while, the two men picked out five large black, smoking lumps of mud from the smoking mud and remaining charcoal.

Uh, no, these five big clods of soil have been burned dry long ago, and now they should be five big black and smoking clods.

Seeing these five big clods of soil, Ying's expression was hard to describe, and Paimon's expression was also very disappointed:

"Well... even though I had some expectations, when I saw these five things, I still thought they were delicious!"

Xiangling explained hurriedly:

"Oh, don't be anxious, this is where you are going.

That... Traveler, and Paimon, please come and help, completely extinguish the charcoal and fire below. Don't let the fire start, and don't let the wildfire here burn the surrounding wilderness! "

Unlike Paimon who was only thinking about food, Ying immediately nodded seriously after hearing this.

Fire prevention is not a trivial matter. The temperature under the soil is so high and the charcoal is still smoking. It must be extinguished properly.

Even if a spark is left behind, it may cause a terrible fire in the surrounding wilderness. This is no joke.

So Ying immediately came over and diligently started to put out the fire, covering all the charcoal and sparks below tightly to ensure that there was no smoke at all!

After completing all this, Ying relaxed a little.

And over there, lunch is ready.

Everyone laid out the tablecloth beside the carriage, just like a picnic. All the food, as well as bowls, chopsticks, cutlery and forks, were placed on the tablecloth. It was a dazzling array.

Paimon, who couldn't wait any longer, floated next to the tablecloth and found a seat for himself early.

Fortunately, this little heartless girl didn't forget her. She floated there and waved to her hard:

"Hey! Ying! Come on! Lunch is ready!"

Ying nodded, ran over with expectation, came to the tablecloth, found her seat, and sat down carefully.

As described before, the food on the tablecloth is dazzling, with all kinds of side dishes, except... the main course.

The main course, these five large black clods of soil, were placed in the center of the tablecloth by Xiangling, which was very eye-catching.

423.Original Beggar’s Chicken

Ying and Paimeng, who was holding a knife and fork, looked at each other in confusion, seemingly at a loss for words.

Kangna sat there quietly. Although she looked at the five big clods of soil in front of her calmly, her expression was a little confused.
