Chapter 43 Beggar Chicken

When Gu Xue brought two pheasants home, Gu Qianshan was still working in the fields.

She quickly packed up the two pheasants, which together only weighed about three kilograms.

It looks quite fat, but it's actually all hair.

This kind of pheasant actually doesn't taste very good. The meat is very woody and has a bit of earthy smell.

But in this day and age, having meat is considered good.

Gu Xue looked at the two chicks, they were so small, and thought about how to eat them.

Suddenly I thought of beggar's chicken, which is fully wrapped so that no one else can smell it.

After all, at this time, as long as you catch something like a pheasant, you have to hand it over, and you may not even get a piece of meat from it.

If you really have the skills to catch them, you will eat them secretly.

Just do it. The seasonings for the beggar's chicken are available in Gu Xue's space. He also took out several hawthorns, put them into the chicken's belly, and smeared a layer of seasoning on the outside.

There is also homemade dried radish sauce, which is spread evenly on the outside.

Gu Xue remembered that in the past, when people made beggar chicken, they would put rice in the belly, so that after steaming, the rice inside would also be cooked.

Thinking of this, I also stuffed some rice into it, and the rice was also mixed with carrot dices.

The carrots are very small now, but they still taste pretty good.

After all, it has been improved by Gu Xue's abilities. It is a bit like the fruit radishes in the future, crunchy and sweet. Normally, Gu Xue would wash these radishes and put them on a plate to eat as fruit.

It’s crunchy, and it’s very relaxing to listen to.

The chicken was quickly processed. I picked a few large leaves when I went out, dug some soil in the heavy ground, and filtered it through a sieve.

It didn't take long for the two clay dumplings wrapped with chicken to be ready.

Thinking of how much food there was for two people at home, Gu Xue cooked two more dishes. While cooking, he put the beggar's chicken in the stove and roasted the chicken while cooking.

After a certain amount of time, Gu Xue will turn them over to ensure that every part is evenly grilled.

After Gu Xue had almost finished cooking, those who had gone out to work began to go home one after another.

Gu Qianshan also returned home with a hoe on his shoulder.

As soon as I got home, I saw the eggs on the table in the corner of the kitchen.

The large and small eggs were stacked together, which looked so spectacular that Gu Qianshan was a little confused.

"Axue, where did you get all these bird eggs?"

Gu Qianshan's question immediately overwhelmed Gu Xue. At that time, he just wanted to find more, and he didn't even think about how to explain.

Sure enough, the comfortable life during this period has been too long, my brain is numb, and I do things without considering the beginning and end.

"I found it in the mountains. I don't know what happened. I found a tree hole in the mountains. I thought it was full of pine nuts and so on. I wanted to bring it back to make some snacks, but I didn't expect that it was full of bird eggs." Gu Xue said. He said this casually, with a hint of joy.

After hearing this, Gu Qianshan nodded seriously: "It should be a squirrel on the mountain, but a squirrel doesn't collect pine nuts. How can it save a bird egg? It just so happens that the eggs at home are almost finished."

"By the way, I caught two pheasants when I went up the mountain today. I'm almost ready. Let's eat them later."

Gu Qianshan was about to go back to his room to change clothes, but when he heard this, he turned his head.

"pheasant?!!"

Gu Xue nodded: "When I went up the mountain, I took a small road and saw two pheasants on the road. They looked like their legs were injured and they couldn't run fast. I caught them."

Gu Xue, who said this, felt that what she said was a bit outrageous. The excuses came one after another, and she felt that no normal person would believe it.

But Gu Qianshan had hundreds of filters for Gu Xue, and he believed whatever Gu Xue said. Even if Gu Xue said there was a plane falling from the sky, Gu Qianshan would probably go over and take a look.

Gu Xue put the prepared meal on the table, dug out two mud dumplings from the stove, and placed them in the bamboo fence.

Carefully crack open the clay dumplings to reveal the golden and attractive beggar's chicken inside.

It has a strong fragrance, and you can smell a hint of hawthorn if you smell it carefully. This smell is simply enticing.

If I had to describe it, it's like a dancing showgirl, sitting on your lap and constantly teasing you.

This feeling is unbearable for a human being.

When Gu Qianshan came out of the shower, he also smelled this strange fragrance.

Then he saw Gu Xue spying on another mud dumpling.

"What are you doing? Such a big clay dumpling." Gu Qianshan looked at the skinned beggar's chicken next to him, his eyes still lingering on it.

In the past, the conditions in Gu Qianshan's family were relatively good. He had eaten a lot of delicacies when he was a child, but this was the first time he had tasted something as fragrant as this.

"Hey! Grandpa, please wait a moment, it will be fine soon." As he said that, he peeled off the outer layer of soil and felt the rich smell on the spot.

This beggar's chicken has the fragrance of hawthorn, and contains honey and radish, which makes it tempting to look at.

Gu Xue put the big one in front of Gu Qianshan and the smaller one in front of herself.

"Let's eat!"

As soon as he said this, Gu Qianshan dug out a large bowl of rice without thinking, and broke open a chicken leg in his hand.

After one bite, I feel like my whole body has been lifted a lot.

Then came the crazy chicken. I thought the cabbage and potatoes were delicious, but now I don’t eat them at all.

A beggar's chicken itself didn't have much meat. After eating it, Gu Qianshan smacked his lips with unsatisfied taste.

If you eat potatoes and cabbage seeds again, you will immediately feel like chewing wax.

Gu Xue ate more slowly. When Gu Qianshan finished eating, he still had most of them.

While eating, I could feel Gu Qianshan's burning gaze.

Looking up, Gu Qianshan was eating there as if nothing had happened, but in fact he didn't eat much.

Gu Qianshan, who originally ate quickly, took a long time to eat.

Gu Xue thought Gu Qianshan looked a little cute like this.

Gu Qianshan gave people the impression that he was fierce and powerful. In addition, he had been a soldier before and had killed people on the battlefield. He had an aura that would make ordinary people feel scared.

"Grandpa, I'm a little full. I'll just give you this half."

Gu Xue gave the remaining half of the beggar's chicken to Gu Qianshan, and Gu Qianshan hesitated for a moment.

"Axue, are you really full? Eat so little?"

Although Gu Qianshan was greedy, he still felt in his heart that there was no way he could eat enough of such delicious food. His granddaughter must have known that he liked to eat it, so she gave it to him specially.

"Well, I feel a little tired and can't bear to eat anymore."

Gu Qianshan looked at Gu Xue and after making sure, he brought the chicken in front of him!

Then eat it happily!

It tastes so good!
