Chapter 4: The Chicken Thief
Jiang Baizhu felt like he was on a thief ship.
However, there is something even worse, when she came out with the wound medicine, the pot in the imperial dining room was already empty, and she didn't even have a grain of rice left!
It seems that everyone pays attention to their bodies and wants to eat stronger, and Mr. Ningda's chubby and round body is the best example.
Jiang Baizhu was a little desperate. This imperial dining room full of vegetarian dishes is really not as good as her Jiangshengtang!
She can't starve to death in the imperial dining room, can she? Jiang Baizhu struggled to his feet and began to forage for food around.
"Goo, goo-" Just as Jiang Baizhu was feeling compassionate, a familiar cry called her back from despair.
It's a chicken, it's a chicken! It's a live chicken! Jiang Baizhu was about to cry with joy! Look at this chicken, it should be the small kitchen in which palace is not bolted.
But since they were all sent to her, is she still polite? Jiang Baizhu tiptoed over and hugged the chicken, afraid that it would scream, so she twisted it neatly and killed it.
With the ingredients, you can't starve to death. Jiang Baizhu plucked the chicken neatly to remove the internal organs, then cleaned it, first pierced the whole chicken ball with a bamboo skewer, and then wiped it all over with ginger, garlic, cooking wine, soy sauce and other seasonings, pickled evenly, and finally wrapped it in leaves, and secretly went to the Cheng'en Hall to find holly.
She Jiang Baizhu is a person who believes in her word, since she said that she wants to take Holly to eat meat, then she must do it! Hee-hee-hee-hee...... Besides, she has another purpose for this trip-
"Holly, come on, there's meat to eat." Jiang Baizhu relied on the ability to climb over the wall and climb the hole that she had practiced by her father since she was a child, and successfully found the little palace maid Holly outside the Cheng'en Palace, and the two secretly ran to the backyard of the Cheng'en Palace and began to plot the roast chicken.
"Chef Jiang, you, where did you get the chicken? This chicken is still raw, how to eat it? Holly didn't lie, she hadn't eaten meat in months, even if it was a raw chicken, she wanted to swallow when she looked at it.
"Make a roast chicken to eat." Jiang Baizhu said in a low voice, "Let's roast and eat, when it is cooked, it will be hot and spicy, piping hot, it will definitely be delicious." Jiang Baizhu immediately said.
"But the roast chicken will have smoke, and it smells big, so it's not good for others to smell it." Holly looked around for a moment, and said cautiously, "Although this backyard is very remote, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be anyone." ”
She just wants to taste big! Didn't that dog emperor pretend to be anorexic? Then she came here every once in a while to grill chicken, grill fish, roast lamb legs, and fan the window, the fragrant smell, mixed with meat and cumin, spicy and garlic, she didn't believe that anyone could sit still!
"No, the smell is too big, if it is smelled by Gonggong Jiang, he will take it! He is a celebrity next to His Majesty, and we don't dare to offend. Holly still tried to dissuade her.
It's-
Jiang Baizhu touched his empty stomach and decided to compromise once! After all, she was hungry too! Can't afford to risk it! Anyway, this broken imperial kitchen will take two years, Dog Emperor, the coming day will be long!
"Then I have a solution!" Jiang Baizhu had an idea, picked some lotus leaves in the yard and washed them, wrapped the chickens tightly, and then got some wet mud, wrapped the chicken balls wrapped in lotus leaves with mud, and then took out the fire fold to make a fire, threw the mud balls into the fire, and covered them with charcoal fire.
"Ouch, what are you doing, such a good chicken, you just wrap it in mud and throw it in the fire! No matter how bad it is, let's cook it secretly and eat it. Holly didn't know why, so she stomped her foot in pity.
"Hehe, you don't understand this, do you? This is what a beggar taught me before, I called it called the flower chicken, that is, wrap the chicken in mud and simmer it with firewood, then knock off the mud, and then uncover the layer of lotus leaves, the chicken inside will not be dirty at all, and the skin is smooth and fragrant, tender and delicious, even the bones are full of flavor, and there is a fragrance of lotus leaves. Jiang Baizhu pulled out the firewood, took out a few large sweet potatoes from his arms, and threw them into the fire.
"It's the same as simmering sweet potatoes, crispy and soft, you'll know later, now even if we make fireworks, Gonggong Jiang is here, just say that we are simmering sweet potatoes, and he can't look down on these sweet potatoes." Jiang Baizhu has a bamboo road.
"Chef Jiang! You, you're amazing! Holly inexplicably began to worship Jiang Baizhu, and her eyes were glowing with stars.
"Little meaning, small meaning, hey, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have never seen anything in the world!" Jiang Baizhu said flutteringly.
Simmering sweet potatoes is also one of Jiang Baizhu's favorite foods, although it is extremely simple, it has a unique magic.
The simmered sweet potatoes are soft and rotten, gently peeling off the charred skin, but the golden meat will be exposed inside, the sweet potato meat is glutinous and soft and sweet, as if it has been soaked with honey, one bite down, piping hot and spicy, sweet and delicious, it can simply make people feel so comfortable that their hearts melt.
"It's so fragrant, can you eat it?" After only half a while, Holly smelled the aroma of sweet potatoes and couldn't sit still.
"It's almost right, it's almost good, let's get the sweet potatoes out first." Jiang Baizhu held a stick and began to pick sweet potatoes skillfully.
However, at this critical juncture, a shrill scolding voice suddenly came from the fence outside the courtyard: "Who's inside!" Come out! ”
"It's Gonggong Jiang's voice-" Holly's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she whispered with a sad face, "What should I do?" ”
"Don't be afraid, you hide behind that pool first, I'll go out and have a look, you must not come out." People walk in the rivers and lakes, they must be righteous, Jiang Baizhu watched Holly hide worriedly, and then tiptoed out of the courtyard gate.
However, she looked back and forth, left and right, up and down, but found no one!
Jiang Baizhu rubbed his eyes again and glanced at them again, and he also learned the cat's voice and took a look, there was still no one!
"Really, delay me from eating chicken!" She cursed and slid back from the courtyard door, but Holly's coward was still hiding behind the pool with his head bowed, shivering.
"Okay, no one, let's go eat chicken." Jiang Baizhu pulled Holly up and said indifferently.
But Holly was timid and said with a look of surprise: "How come? I obviously heard Gonggong Jiang's voice. ”
"Whatever he does, Father-in-law Jiang and Father-in-law Li, if you don't eat my chicken, it's going to rot." Jiang Baizhu didn't pay attention to it at all, and quickly returned to the fire, taking Fang Cai's stick and starting to pull the fire.
However, after pulling for a while, Jiang Baizhu let out a desperate wail: "What about my chickens! Damn dog thief, turn the tiger away from the mountain! ”
Here, Holly and Jiang Baizhu, who were full of appetite, were eating sweet potatoes pitifully, and over there, a figure wearing royal blue brocade casual clothes slipped into the Guanghua Hall next door to the Chengen Hall as if he had entered a no-man's land.
