"What is a beggar's chicken? Is it a chicken that only beggars can eat? Will I become a beggar if I eat it?" This is the first time Goudan has heard of beggar's chicken, and he doesn't know if there is any delicious roast chicken. He really Very curious.

"You'll know later." Chen Xiaolin planned not to tell him yet, but he would know when it was done.

After a while, Chen Xiaolin shot three more pheasants and planned to stop.

She put all the pheasants into the backpack, filled the top of the basket with dried pine needles, and then pulled Goudan down the mountain.

I passed by a small pond in the village and saw lotus leaves, and I picked a dozen lotus leaves.

Goudan was very happy along the way. His aunt promised him a big chicken drumstick tonight.

Has he ever eaten a big chicken drumstick? I don't know whether chicken legs or wings are better.

When Chen Xiaolin got home, she started killing chickens. Today she planned to use two chickens to make beggar's chicken, and she planned to pickle the remaining three chickens with salt and make them into air-dried chickens, which would keep them longer.

After Chen Xiaolin marinated the chicken, she went to the backyard to build a clay kiln. She planned to make beggar's chicken as shown in a certain audio and video.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaolin has strong hands-on skills, otherwise I don't know if she would be able to eat the beggar's chicken that she has been craving for tonight.

After Chen Xiaolin finished setting up the earthen kiln, she let Goudan stay there to light the fire. Then she wrapped the chicken in lotus leaves and then put a layer of clay on the outside.

By the time Chen Xiaolin finished the preparations, Goudan had already burned the earthen kiln red.

Chen Xiaolin put the chicken wrapped in soil. Of course, the two pheasants alone were definitely not enough to eat. In order for everyone to enjoy eating later, Chen Xiaolin also put more than 20 sweet potatoes and potatoes in.

By the time Chen Xiaolin finished it, she was already sweating profusely.

"Little aunt, where are the pheasants?" Goudan kept watching his little aunt keep putting things into the fired clay kiln, but there was no pheasant in sight.

"Put it in! Aren't those two lumps just now!"

"Would wrapping the pheasant in mud make it dirty?"

"No! I wrapped it in lotus leaves and then applied the mud. Don't worry, it will be so delicious later that you'll want to swallow the bones." When Chen Xiaolin just marinated the pheasant, she put a lot of space in it. Seasoning, she believed that the taste of this beggar's chicken would not be bad.

An hour later, Chen Xiaolin took a shovel and carefully dug out the pheasants and sweet potatoes.

"Wow! It smells so good! I can smell the fragrance." Goudan has been following Chen Xiaolin. When he smelled the fragrance, he knew that the sweet potatoes and pheasant today must be delicious.

"Then you can eat more later." Chen Xiaolin put the sweet potatoes and potatoes aside, and then carefully cracked open the two lumps wrapped in the pheasants.

Chen Xiaolin found a basket and put the pheasant wrapped in lotus leaves into it.

Goudan took a ripe sweet potato, peeled it open and ate it. The taste was really delicious.

Chen Xiaolin waited until the pheasant was no longer hot to her hands, then peeled off the lotus leaves and tore off the two chicken legs with her hands.

She planned to eat one herself and give the other to Goudan.

Goudan took the chicken leg and bit into it. Mmm, so delicious. "Little aunt, this beggar's chicken is really delicious. Can I continue to eat it tomorrow

"You think beautifully, and you still want to eat chicken every day. Be careful, you will eat all the pheasants on the mountain." Chen Xiaolin found Goudan's rhetoric a bit funny. When he grows up, he may be afraid of chicken.

"Then I'd better eat it every two days." Goudan thought for a while and felt that eating it every day was indeed a bit much, so let's eat it every two days!

"Then you need to practice shooting slingshot more! Otherwise you may not be able to eat pheasants." Chen Xiaolin does not plan to hunt pheasants for him often in the future, but she can teach Goudan how to hunt pheasants. After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him a fish. fish.

"Well, I will definitely practice hard, and I will hunt pheasants for my little aunt to eat in the future." Goudan's mind was full of the scene where he learned to hunt pheasants and could eat as much as he wanted.

Chen Xiaolin watched Goudan giggling while eating chicken drumsticks, and she didn't know what good things he was thinking about.

Chen Xiaolin and Goudan were full after eating one chicken. She planned to give the remaining chicken to Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen. As for whether Grandma Chen and the others were willing to eat it, and who would eat it, Chen Xiaolin didn't care.

Chen Xiaolin packed the remaining chickens and sweet potatoes in a basket, and then asked Goudan to take them back.

She had been tired all day, and now she just wanted to take a good shower and have a good sleep.

When Grandma Chen came back from cutting pig grass today, she didn't see Goudan or Stone. She thought they went to work with Aunt Chen.

She just saw smoke coming from Chen Xiaolin's backyard, and thought Chen Xiaolin was burning weeds, so she didn't pay attention.

When she finished her work and was about to go out to look for Goudan and stones, she saw Goudan staggering out of the next door carrying a basket of things.

"Goudan, what are you talking about?"

"Grandma, these are all delicious. Come and help me lift them. I can't lift them anymore." Goudan saw Grandma Chen as if he saw a savior. This basket of things was really too heavy.

"You went to your aunt's house to get food again. Your aunt's house doesn't have much, so we can't afford it for our whole family!" Grandma Chen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw just a basket of sweet potatoes. But she just brought these sweet potatoes two days ago. Now that she has this basket, she doesn't know if she still has them at home. Grandma Chen plans to bring another basket tomorrow. She is afraid that Chen Xiaolin is an honest kid and won't say anything if she doesn't have anything to eat.

"Grandma, let me tell you secretly, today my little aunt and I went up to the mountain to hunt pheasants! Today my little aunt made two beggar's chickens, and the two of us ate one, and there was another one in the basket. This beggar's chicken is delicious It's delicious. You must eat more today, grandma." Goudan secretly opened the sweet potato on top, revealing a chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.

"You naughty kid, did you ask your little aunt to go up the mountain? There are big insects, wolves, and wild boars on the mountain. You guys are very brave." When Grandma Chen heard that Chen Xiaolin and Goudan went up the mountain, she wanted to These two naughty boys were pulled over and beaten severely.

"We didn't go deep into the mountains. We were hunting pigweed and going a little further in. And my aunt was really good. We shot five pheasants!" Goudan thought of the way his aunt hit the pheasants with perfect accuracy today, and he was impressed. He must learn from his little aunt in the future, so that he can have endless pheasants in the future!

It's the same thing if you don't go into the mountains. When your dad comes back in the evening, I'm going to tell your dad that you encouraged your little aunt to go up the mountain today. Let's see if he can spank you." Grandma Chen was afraid that the two children would go to the mountains regardless of life and death. , In the past two years, the old hunters in the village went into the mountains and failed to come out.

Fortunately, Grandma Chen didn't know that Chen Xiaolin had already gone into the mountains and dug several ginseng!
