Chapter 16 Beggar Chicken

Chapter 16 Beggar Chicken

Seeing the fire rising in front of him, Jiang Zuo stretched his neck to look into the woods.

"Master, the Crown Princess hasn't come back yet. Do you want me to go and check on her?"

No matter how you look at it, the Crown Princess is still a girl, and she still feels uneasy about going into the woods alone.

But just as he finished speaking, he heard some noise in the woods.

He glanced at his master and leapt onto the tree.

As soon as Shen Yiyi came back, she saw the bamboo tubes and bamboo buckets stuck on the trees, and looked at Shang Zhanchen with satisfaction.

"not bad!"

This guy has made progress and knows how to find work to do. Shang Zhanchen did not respond to Shen Yiyi's words.

Instead, he stared straight at the big mud ball she was dragging in her hand, with curiosity written all over his face.

"What is this?"

Then he looked into the pottery jar and found that in addition to rice, there was also a lot of water.

"Good stuff." Shen Yiyi looked at the clay ball in her hand, smiled proudly, and handed the pottery jar over directly.

"Let's cook it!"

He stuffed the clay jar into Shang Zhanchen's hand, then walked to the fire and threw the big mud ball into it.

A few more pieces of wood were added, and the man looked puzzled.

I was very curious about what was in there, but I also knew that even if I asked, this woman wouldn't tell me.

He didn't ask any more questions, put the clay pot on the fire, turned around and sat next to Shen Yiyi.

After Shen Yiyi wiped her hands, she spread out the quilt and lay down on it with her arms and legs spread out.

"You watch the fire. I'll take a nap first. Call me when the meal is ready."

After saying that, she turned over and closed her eyes. She was exhausted as a dog during the day and now she felt like her bones were about to fall apart.

I need to take a rest quickly, and it would be best if I could have some sleep and recover my strength. My body is too weak.

Knowing that the woman was very tired today, Shang Zhanchen didn't say anything and worked hard as a fireman without complaint.

Just after turning my head for a while, I heard Shen Yiyi's even breathing. When I looked back, I found that she was really asleep.

Seeing her body curled up like a shrimp, he hesitated for a moment, then put the quilt on her.

"……………………"

Considering her hard work today, let's cover her up.

As it was getting dark, I saw that the rice in the clay pot was almost cooked, so I carefully moved it aside to let it dry.

Feeling that the temperature was about right, I was about to wake up Shen Yiyi when I heard her mumbling.

"Little sweetheart, is the meal ready?"

Shen Yiyi said in a daze. She smelled the fragrance of rice and thought the meal should be ready.

But after I asked all the questions, I didn't hear any response from the guy, so I turned around quickly.

"Little cutie, what are you doing? Why don't you answer me?"

I thought this guy was not here. It was as if he was deaf. He didn't even respond when I talked to him. How rude.

“……………………”Shang Zhanchen was stunned.

He stared at Shen Yiyi, thinking that she was talking in her sleep.

Now seeing her glaring at me, I remembered the childish name she had given me.

"Can you give me a different name?"

He couldn't stand hearing a grown man called Xiaoguai, so how could a woman call him that?

"No!" Shen Yiyi gave Shang Zhanchen a bad look.

This guy is originally dull and cold. If he is not given a sweeter name, he will be even less attractive.

When he turned around, he saw the mud ball in the fire and crawled over happily.

“It should be cooked.”

He glanced at the man, picked up a wooden stick, and pulled out the mud ball.

Seeing the woman grinning at this thing, I became even more curious about what was inside.

Even Jiang Zuo on the tree was staring at the mud ball, not knowing what was inside.

Shen Yiyi leaned over and sniffed it, then grinned again.

"It must be cooked!" I can faintly smell a fragrance, so I guess the chicken inside must be cooked.

He quickly picked up a stick and started hitting it, and the moment the clay egg broke into pieces.

An irresistible fragrance emanated instantly.

"Wow! It smells so good!" Shen Yiyi closed her eyes and sniffed hard.

I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth. I haven't made beggar's chicken for a long time. It seems that I haven't lost my skill yet.

Even the man opposite was surprised. He pointed at the chicken in the mud egg and looked at Shen Yiyi suspiciously.

"Where did you get this chicken?"

When the woman left, she only held the clay pot and the bag of rice. No one knew where the chicken came from.

"Of course I caught it!" Shen Yiyi looked at Shang Zhanchen as if he was an idiot.

This guy is a little bit stupid, asking such a stupid question.

She couldn't perform magic tricks, so of course she was catching her. Shang Zhanchen didn't have time to care about Shen Yiyi's disdainful look, and continued to ask suspiciously.

"Don't you know martial arts?"

After saying that, he took another look at the delicious chicken in front of him. This pheasant is not so easy to catch in the forest. If you don’t know martial arts, it is impossible to catch it.

"Yeah, I didn't say I know martial arts!"

Shen Yiyi glanced at Shang Zhanchen, directly tore off a chicken leg, took a bite in revenge, and her beautiful eyes narrowed into slits.

"smell good!"

I have been chewing dry buns and steamed buns these past two days, but now the chicken in my hand is so delicious.

Shang Zhanchen wanted to ask something else, but when he saw Shen Yiyi had already started eating.

This time I didn't ask any questions and just followed her example, pulling down a chicken leg.

After taking a bite, his eyes brightened up noticeably.

"It's really good!" He said this from the bottom of his heart.

Whether in the palace or outside, he has eaten all kinds of delicious food.

But the chicken in his hand at this moment seemed to be the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.

Moreover, the taste is obviously different from the chicken we usually eat. I don’t know how this woman did it.

Even without any oil or other seasonings, the chicken can be made so fresh and tender.

In fact, Shen Yiyi also used seasonings, and many herbs can be used as seasonings.

When we were dealing with pheasants in the woods, we had already treated them with herbs.

The chicken is absolutely fresh and delicious when you put it in your mouth. With a spoonful of rice, it is so fragrant that it goes straight to your bones.

Shang Zhanchen also followed her example and started eating, taking bites of chicken and rice.

He didn't even realize that he was using the same spoon as Shen Yiyi, and he had already been captivated by the delicious chicken.

It's just a pity for Jiang Zuo who was lying on the tree. He was drooling when he smelled the delicious chicken.

Seeing how voraciously his master was eating, he was even more certain that the chicken must have been very delicious.

But no matter how delicious it is, I can only look at it here. If I jump down now, I will scare the Crown Princess.

Shen Yiyi didn't know that there was a person lying on the tree with his collar almost soaked with saliva.

Maybe I was too tired that day and ate too quickly. By the time I realized it, my stomach was already bloated.

Shang Zhanchen ate quickly and completely forgot about Jiang Zuo on the tree. By the time he realized what was happening, only bones of the beggar's chicken were left.

Looking at the empty pottery jar and the pile of chicken bones below, Jiang You's mouth widened as if he was eating bitter melon.

"……………………"

It’s over, I can only eat dry food tonight!
