Chen Yuan was cutting red reeds while chatting with the kitchen helpers. "Alas, when I was doing odd jobs in the restaurant, I heard someone mention that our city lord bought a piece of blue fire seal at an auction outside a few years ago, saying that it was carved from jade fire, and the jade was born with flame lines, is it true?" Chen Yuan mentioned the goal of this mission intentionally or unintentionally in the small talk.

"Of course it's true, that line looks like there is really a flame burning in it from a distance, the city lord's treasure is amazing, and it has been on the desk in the study!" said a tall and thin cook beside Chen Yuan who was handling a fish.

"So you've seen it?" Tatsumoto continued. "Of course, I went into the study of the lord of the city, and I ······ at the time." Before the tall and thin cook could finish speaking, the fat man who looked like the cook scolded: "There is still time to chat! Hurry up and get to work! The things of the lord of the city are also what you talk about casually?" The tall and thin cook shrunk his neck, stopped talking, and concentrated on handling the fish in his hand. However, at this time, Chen Yuan had already received useful news, and the plan to steal the token in his heart was already a little eyebrow-raising.

"Tian Sheng, Tian Sheng!" As soon as the big basket of red reeds was processed, before Chen Yuan could breathe a sigh, Xiao Wanqing rushed into the kitchen in a hurry. "Miss. All the people in the kitchen saluted Xiao Wanqing in unison. "Okay, okay, I'm looking for Tian Sheng, what about people?" Xiao Wanqing said impatiently with a wave of her hand.

The people in the kitchen looked at each other, not knowing who this Tian Sheng was. "I'm here. Chen Yuan threw the last red reed into the basket, stood up and said. "Come with me, I've found you a place in the backyard, the soil is soft enough to dig a hole. There are also a few guinea fowl I got back, which are still alive, and they should be enough to eat, and I also asked people to get back a few large buckets of mud in the middle layer of the stream, and there are also firewood in the house. Now it's all in the backyard. You hurry up and get a few chickens called flower chickens out. Last time I said it was very delicious, my father didn't believe it, I must prove that this dish is really delicious this time!" After speaking, Xiao Wanqing hurriedly pulled Chen Yuan out.

When he came to the backyard, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth twitched, and everything was really ready. In a large cage with special characteristics, ordinary hunters may not be able to find guinea fowl for a day, there are ten in this cage, five piles of firewood with a height of one person are neatly stacked in the corner, the most exaggerated is that there are ten wooden barrels with a diameter of about one meter in the center of the yard, half of which are filled with mud and half are filled with stream. In order to ensure that the mud is moist, there are also special people who scoop out the stream water from the bucket from time to time and pour it into the mud bucket.

Chen Yuan said in his heart: Don't you want to be so exaggerated, just eat a chicken called Huaji, you don't need such a big battle! Chen Yuan was speechless in his heart, but the movements in his hands were not slow, after all, we are still playing a wage earner who is short of money, isn't it?

Considering that there were only four or five people in the city lord's family, Chen Yuan only caught four guinea fowl from the cage, and as for the rest, they could be raised and eaten later. Ma Li disposed of the four guinea fowls, dug a pit, lit a fire, wrapped in mud, and covered the soil in one go. It took half an hour to process the ingredients, and another more than an hour of waiting. Seeing that it was approaching noon, these four chickens called flower chickens were completed and served to the table of the city lord's family.

At this time, Xiao Lie, the city lord of Xiaoqing City, had just finished handling official business, and as soon as he came out of the study, he saw his granddaughter with a few subordinates carrying four gray things that I don't know whether they were stones or dirt, and walked towards the family's usual dining place.

"Qing'er, why do you still bring four lumps of dirt with you when you go to our family's place to eat? Let them throw it away and eat with grandpa. Xiao Lie hurriedly called Xiao Wanqing and asked her to throw away those unknown things.

"Grandpa, this is not a lump of dirt, this is the chef I specially found to make the main dish for us at noon today!" Xiao Wanqing heard Xiao Lie's words and defended. "Is this food?" Xiao Lie frowned, looking at the irregular lumps, he couldn't tell where there was any food

"When you get to the place to eat, you will naturally know, you go first, and I will call my father. Xiao Wanqing bought a pass, and Xiao Lie, who was suspicious of this, could only go to the restaurant first, completely unaware of what medicine was sold in her granddaughter's gourd.

Soon, with Xiao Wanqing's unremitting efforts, the family sat down at the dining table. Looking at the four lumps in front of him, Xiao Wanqing's father, Xiao Yu, spoke: "Wanqing, don't make trouble, how can you cook with four lumps on the table?"

"Don't, Dad, do you remember what I told you about the flower chicken?" Xiao Wanqing hurriedly stopped. At this time, the woman next to Xiao Yu spoke, at this time, Xiao Wanqing's mother, called Su Xin, the family is the Wang family of the Eight Main Cities of the Youtian Domain, the closest to the Sky Rain City from the Qingqing City, she is gentle and gentle, and she is a typical lady.

"Of course we remember, since you ate what is called flower chicken, every day of the chatter, our ears are almost calloused, but my mother asked people to run all over the city, and no one can do it, and your friend has also been busy with the Taoist Academy exam in the past two days. After two days, he is not busy, you ask him to write out the method, and my mother will let the kitchen make it for you. Su Xin said that Xiao Wanqing's personality is not at all like her, and Su Xin is also a little helpless for this daughter who is in a hurry.

"Could it be that this is what you said about Huaji?" Xiao Lie finally realized something from his granddaughter's words and spoke. "It's still grandpa smart. That's right, this is the delicacy I told you about - called flower chicken!" As she spoke, Xiao Wanqing used the method that Chen Yuan taught herself, first breaking up the outermost layer of soil wrapped in the guinea fowl, and then peeling off the innermost soil that was clinging to the guinea fowl with her hands. I saw that the feathers that had not faded were taken away by the soil, revealing the white and tender chicken inside, and the heat and aroma that were originally locked by the soil completely burst out, but with that rich aroma, it made everyone, including Xiao Lie, move their fingers.

Xiao Lie, as an elder, was naturally the first to taste this chicken. The freshness of matsutake mushrooms and the aroma of chicken blend perfectly, and a wonderful pleasure bursts from the tip of the tongue, fills the mouth, and then spreads throughout the body.

Different from Xiao Wanqing's feast when she ate it for the first time, Xiao Lie slowly tasted it after tasting such a delicious taste, and ate a chicken leg for nearly a quarter of an hour. When Xiao Lie finished eating a chicken leg, Xiao Wanqing asked, "How about grandpa, I didn't lie to you, isn't it particularly delicious!"

Xiao Lie nodded thoughtfully, gave the order to start, and continued to solve his own food. Subsequently, Xiao Yu and Su Xin also followed Xiao Wanqing's example, peeled off the mud layer, and began to enjoy the food. As a result, a strange scene appeared in the restaurant of the City Lord's Mansion. This family of four, young and old, one holding a chicken, eats happily, and from time to time makes a satisfied exclamation.

After lunch, after learning about Tian Sheng's situation, Xiao Lie solemnly said to Xiao Wanqing: "Qing'er, you must leave this child in the City Lord's Mansion, even if it is to be the head chef." His skills are definitely much better than the best chefs in the city, not to mention that this dish called Flower Chicken alone is definitely a master-level craft, not to mention other specialties. Don't look at the simple baking and heating of the flower chicken, just look at the control of the temperature and the mastery of the heat, which proves that this teenager is a very talented chef. ”

Under Xiao Wanqing's persistent proof, the city lord's family has fully recognized this dish called Huaji, and even Xiao Lie, who is the oldest and has great experience, hopes to leave this Tian Sheng, who can make Huaji, in the mansion. At this time, Chen Yuan, who was still working in the kitchen and thinking about countermeasures to steal tokens, could not have imagined that in just one morning, he would conquer the city lord and even conquer the city lord's family with an ordinary dish.
