Chapter 190 It's really eye-opening
“You can eat now.”
The chicken was finally prepared and everyone got a portion.
Although they brought a lot of food when they came, Shen Huazheng still asked someone to send Zhou a portion of beggar's chicken and fish soup.
Chen Keting and his companions had hunted quite a few pheasants, and the prince also took out the prey they had hunted, as well as fish soup, which was enough for their large group to eat.
Xiao Jingran looked at the chicken in front of him, his eyes sparkling.
The prince also stared at the chicken that exuded a wonderful aroma, and his hand holding the chopsticks even trembled slightly.
He picked up a piece of chicken leg, blew on it gently, and put it into his mouth.
Thanks to the addition of white wine and seasonings that can remove fishy smell and greasiness, the originally greasy chicken skin does not have an overly greasy taste. When you tear it off with one bite, it is sticky and a little chewy.
The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Just bite it with your teeth and pull gently to separate the meat and bones. Your mouth will be filled with rich flavor and you don't need to put in any effort to chew it.
It has a crispy texture when you first put it in your mouth, and when you take a bite, the sweet juice inside instantly bursts in your mouth.
It is not greasy and extremely delicious.
As you chew, the fragrance of the reed leaves and the tenderness of the chicken fill your mouth, mixed with the faint aroma of wine and wild mushrooms, and you can even feel the moist aroma of the soil...
While stimulating the taste buds, it also inspires the deep desire for delicious food.
If it weren't for the need to maintain his image as the crown prince, the prince would have wanted to cry here.
He had eaten roast chicken in the paddock many times before, but he had never eaten such delicious roast chicken! !
After such a long time, he finally caught up with a hot meal! !
This is how it felt when my father and his family ate alone. It was simply wonderful! !
Jiang Cheng ate the chicken bite after bite and couldn't stop eating.
The chicken is crispy but not burnt, soft but not mushy. It is fresh, tender and mellow, with every ounce of texture.
He already had extremely high expectations for beggar's chicken, and couldn't help imagining what it would taste like before the chicken was even cooked.
It was not until he actually put the chicken in his mouth that Jiang Cheng realized how poor his imagination was.
The combination of chicken and other ingredients gives beggar's chicken a unique aroma and taste, which is a double enjoyment of taste and smell.
The perfect aroma of wine activates the unique freshness of the chicken, making the flavor elegant and ethereal, with a lingering aftertaste on the tip of your tongue.
Chew it carefully, and you'll find that what lingers between your lips and teeth is not just the crispy, tender and juicy texture of the chicken.
There is also a hint of the fragrance of reed leaves, the aroma of wine, the fragrance of wild mushrooms, and the fresh scent of soil.
The taste is rich and varied, and you can taste different flavors with every bite.
Various wonderful flavors are layered and continuous, intertwined with the rich and plump taste of chicken, instantly conquering the taste buds and making people intoxicated.
This is not just an ordinary lunch, it is clearly a perfect encounter between the tip of your tongue and nature!!
As Jiang Cheng was eating, he suddenly felt an upsurge in his heart and an urge to cry.
I didn't expect that wrapping the chicken with leaves and smearing dirt on it would taste so good after cooking it.
Oh my God, I can eat such delicious food on the first day of autumn hunting.
Suddenly I was full of anticipation for the days to come.
No one spoke during the meal; everyone was immersed in the shock and surprise brought by the delicious food.
This unique cooking method allows the chicken to fully absorb the fragrance of the reed leaves and the minerals of the red mud during the roasting process, making the chicken more delicious.
During the roasting process, the chicken is wrapped tightly, and the juice inside the meat is firmly locked in. When you take a bite, you first taste the crispy and delicious skin, and then the tender and juicy chicken inside.
In addition to the aroma of wine and wild mushrooms, there is also a refreshing and throat-soothing plant fragrance.
As you chew it, the refreshing and delicious taste flows gently over the tip of your tongue, just like a gurgling stream in summer, bringing a natural and mellow enjoyment to your taste buds.
The taste is primitive and rich, gentle and lingering, which is truly amazing.
In addition to beggar's chicken, the fish soup is also delicious.
The fish soup has a smooth and mellow taste, and the fish meat in it is delicate and delicious. Every bite is very satisfying and every bite is indescribably delicious.
…
Shen Zhaonian also went hunting with a group of officials. At noon, everyone did not go back and planned to have lunch on the spot.
Just when everyone had built a fire and were preparing to grill meat, Shen Zhaonian sat down aside and slowly took out two bamboo tubes, one thick and one thin.
Everyone: ???
Why did Minister Shen bring such a big bamboo tube when he went out hunting?
Could it be that the food was prepared by Yinghua County Lady? ?
But, what can be put in the bamboo tube?
They kept grilling the meat, but from time to time they looked in the direction of Shen Zhaonian, wondering what food he had brought.
Shen Zhaonian opened the lids of the two bamboo tubes. There were two bags of quicklime in the thick bamboo tube, and the thin bamboo barrel was filled with various foods.
He took out the water bag from his waist and poured the water into the thick bamboo tube. Then he stuffed the thin bamboo bucket into the thick bamboo tube, poured some more water into it, and closed the lid.
This has been specially processed. After putting it in, there is almost no gap between the two bamboo tubes, and it is stuck right in the middle.
After doing all this, Shen Zhaonian took out something that looked like a cotton hat and put it on the outside of the bamboo tube.
The officials who were observing silently on the side all found it a little strange. It was okay for Minister Shen to pour cold water into the bamboo tube, but why did he put clothes on the bamboo tube?
Could it be that he wanted to use the cotton hat to warm up the food inside? ?
This is actually not a cotton hat, but a "thermal clothing" that Shen Huazheng specially asked her maid to make for the bamboo tube in order to enhance the outdoor thermal insulation effect.
Even on a snowy day, heat will not be lost as long as the bamboo tube is covered with "thermal clothing" when in use.
Shen Zhaonian looked at the bamboo tube silently, as if waiting for something.
After a while, something happened that shocked everyone.
A rich fragrance accompanied by steam came out of the bamboo tube. Upon careful listening, there was actually a "gurgling" sound inside.
Everyone's eyes widened. The cold water that Shen Zhaonian poured in just now boiled inside? ?
The people beside him couldn't help but ask, "Master Shen, what is this?"
Shen Zhaonian kept his eyes on the bamboo tube: "This is a self-heating hot pot. You only need to wait for a quarter of an hour before you can eat it."
His barbecue skills were very limited, and Shen Huazheng was worried that he wouldn't eat well outside, so she specially prepared a self-heating hot pot.
The officials pricked up their ears: !!!
Self-heating hot pot?
Is it a smaller version of hot pot that you can carry with you?
This should have been done by Princess Yinghua.
It's really an eye-opener!!
