When Mayor Zhang, Vice Mayor Tang and others arrived at the dam below Jiang Xiaobai's house, they saw Jiang Shan and Jiang Ting, two children, still adding firewood to the fire.

I didn't see Jiang Xiaobai.

"Shanshan, where's your father?" Mayor Zhang asked with a smile.

Jiang Shan shouted "Uncle Zhang", and then said, "Baba went home to cook other dishes, and asked me to roast and call Huaji here." ”

Mayor Zhang and the others looked carefully into the fire, but they didn't see any chickens, and they were all surprised.

"Shanshan, where are you talking about the flower chicken?"

"yes, why don't you see the chickens?"

“……”

Jiang Shan pointed to the fire and said proudly: "The chicken is under the fire, buried in the mud and roasted!" ”

Vice Mayor Tang and others were even more surprised when they heard it, the chickens were buried in the mud, so how could they eat them?

However, some people remembered the plot in the novel and said: "Calling the flower chicken will not really be like what is written in the novel, wrapped in mud and burned!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember, there is such a description in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."

"Fiction can be taken seriously?"

"Art comes from life, maybe it's really like that."

“……”

Song Jianjun, Liu Zhan, Fei Tuzhi and others chatted chattering, and they were not in a hurry to go up.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai picked a basket, wore thick gloves in his hand, and walked down the stone steps with a shovel.

It looked like a worker preparing to go down to the mine to dig coal.

Everyone laughed, Mu Xiaoqing picked up the camera and took two photos with "click, click".

Jiang Xiaobai approached, saw that Mayor Zhang and the others were there, and said with a smile: "It's all here, hurry up, the other dishes are ready, just this main dish." ”

Deputy Mayor Tang smiled: "Don't worry, let's see how you get this flower chicken?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, asked Jiang Shan and Jiang Ting to go a little farther, and then took the firewood from the fire aside and poured out the firewood with the water in the bucket.

When it was over, he didn't forget to say to Jiang Shan: "After lighting a fire in the wild in the future, don't forget to completely extinguish the fire before leaving." ”

"Oh, I remember." Jiang Shan touched Jiang Shi's dog head and agreed seriously.

After teaching his daughter, Jiang Xiaobai gently picked up the hot soil under the fire with a shovel.

The soil there seemed to be burned into a single piece, like a clay tablet, but it turned into powder when the shovel lightly scratched it, and soon revealed the mud lumps inside.

Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward, took out the mud lumps one by one, and put them into the basket.

And they numbered, and it was ten.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

While everyone was watching, Jiang Shi ran to the basket, the dog's nose kept twitching, and he screamed at the mud in the basket, and his two front paws were on the basket, and he almost flipped in.

"Go, go!"

Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly waved it away, and said, "Just your nose, I'll give you something to eat." ”

"Whoa!"

Jiang Shi was driven away a few steps, turned around and yelled at Jiang Xiaobai, as if venting his dissatisfaction.

Jiang Shan stepped forward and touched its dog's head: "Jiang Shi Jiang Lion, don't scream, Baba said that I will give it to you later, then I will definitely give it." ”

After a few words of appeasement, he raised his head and said to Jiang Xiaobai: "Baba, did Jiang Shi smell the fragrance of the flower chicken?" ”

"Why can't I smell it?"

When Mayor Zhang, Vice Mayor Tang and others heard this, they all sniffed unconsciously, and there was no smell at all.

"It's really wrapped in mud!"

"yes, it's the first time I've seen it!"

"Boss Jiang, if you wrap it in mud, will the chicken get mud on it?"

"Boss Jiang, why don't you open it here and bring it back with the mud?"

“……”

Hearing everyone's words, Jiang Xiaobai said: "The mud should be broken before it is served on the table, one is to keep warm, and the other is to smell the aroma of meat when it is opened." ”

As he spoke, he picked up two baskets and beckoned them to go home.

It was still in the backyard, everyone washed their hands and sat down at separate tables, Jiang Haiyang and Wang Xiuju were busy serving food.

Jiang Haitian is also helping.

As the village head of Jiangwan, many leaders came to support the construction of Jiangwan's new countryside, and he accompanied him throughout the process.

Sauced beef, knife meat, stir-fried chicken offal, boiled pork slices, roasted pepper preserved eggs, dry pot bean tendons, mapo tofu......

More than a dozen dishes, all in large bowls, the dishes are sprinkled with peppers, peppercorns, at first glance it is a heavy taste, it looks very "earthy", it looks very "coarse", the dishes are very "miscellaneous", but they are all full of weight.

All the leaders were amazed.

Vice Mayor Tang couldn't help but ask, "Boss Jiang, what do you say about these dishes?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "There's nothing to say, I call it Jianghu cuisine." ”

Jianghu cuisine?

Everyone was amazed.

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Jianghu cuisine refers to dishes relative to authentic dishes.

The most common classification of traditional dishes is by region, such as the major cuisines of Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, and Guangdong.

There are also dishes that are divided according to the identity of diners, such as court cuisine, aristocratic cuisine, literary cuisine, artist cuisine, home cooking and Jianghu cuisine. ”

It was the first time for Mayor Zhang and others to hear this statement, and they were very surprised.

Jiang Xiaobai said as he took out a "mud lump" from the basket, laid it flat on an empty table, took a short stick and hit it gently, and the mud pieces broke and fell on the table, revealing the banana leaves inside.

At this time, the original green plantain leaves have turned yellow, as if they will break when touched.

Not really.

The plantain leaves are stained with chicken fat, which not only becomes soft, but also exudes a unique fragrance.

Jiang Xiaobai took the chicken wrapped in banana leaves to Mayor Zhang's table, and Vice Mayor Tang and Song Jianjun immediately moved the other dishes in the middle of the table to the side.

Jiang Xiaobai used a pair of scissors to cut the banana leaves on it, and the fragrance immediately filled the courtyard, and Mayor Zhang, Vice Mayor Tang, Song Jianjun and others couldn't help but sniff.

The people at the other tables were also staring at this side.

"This is called a flower chicken? I think it should be called Piaoxiang Chicken! Mayor Zhang said with a smile.

Liu Struggle said: "Mayor Zhang is right, it is so fragrant, it is indeed a fragrant chicken." ”

Song Jianjun and others followed suit.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, "It doesn't matter what kind of chicken it is, everyone eat it while it's hot, it won't taste like that when it's cold." ”

"Good!"

Mayor Zhang said a word, took the lead in moving chopsticks, tore off a piece from the whole chicken and sent it into his mouth, the entrance was crispy and fat, and the flavor was unique.

Vice Mayor Tang and others also did their own thing, and they were full of praise after eating.

"Hey, there's something in there!"

After Ma Wanli picked up a piece of chicken, the top part of the chicken was almost torn apart, revealing the ingredients in the chicken belly.

Mayor Zhang and others looked at the call, and saw that there seemed to be rice dumplings in the chicken belly, as well as winter bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms.

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "This is called having a good fortune inside, let's try it." ”

With that, he walked over to the empty table, took out the second mud mound from the basket, and continued.
