Huo Yicheng was only wearing a thin shirt. Lin Yin could clearly feel the warmth from his body, and her heart beat uncontrollably.
Huo Yicheng didn't know what was wrong with her, so he lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Don't move." Lin Yin whispered, "I saw my mother."
Last night, Lin Yin did hear An Xin say that she was going back to her parents' home, but she didn't expect An Xin to come to town.
Fortunately, Lin Yin discovered it in time, otherwise if An Xin saw her at the market with Huo Yichen next to her, Lin Yin would not know how to explain it.
Lin Yin held Huo Yichen motionlessly, and the two of them maintained this position for several minutes, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Feeling that An Xin should have gone far away, Lin Yin let go of Huo Yichen, looked carefully, and made sure that she could no longer see anyone, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back quickly." Lin Yin pulled Huo Yichen and quickened her pace.
The two of them returned to Huo Yichen's courtyard safely. Uncle Wang saw them coming back and quickly spoke.
"Master, I have prepared everything."
"Yeah." Huo Yichen responded and pulled Lin Yin in.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Lin Yin just wanted to take the book and go back. Seeing that he was not taking her to the study, she spoke quickly.
"What are you going to do?"
“Keep your promise.”
Huo Yichen's words were incomprehensible.
He turned his head and looked at her seriously: "I want to eat beggar's chicken."
“…”
Fearing that Lin Yin would go back on her word, he continued, "You promised me before."
Lin Yin remembered that she seemed to have really agreed. Thinking that she was still thinking about the book in Huo Yichen's hand, she nodded.
"All right."
Uncle Wang had already prepared the materials.
Lin Yin looked at the pile of things and scratched her hair with a headache.
She had only eaten it in her previous life and then looked up some information about it out of interest.
But now there are no mobile phones or internet, so she can only do it based on her memory.
First prepare the ingredients, add soy sauce, salt and other ingredients to marinate, then grind the cloves, star anise and other ingredients into powder and rub it on the chicken.
Prepare some of the seasonings, wrap the washed lotus leaves in several layers, wrap them with several layers of newspaper, tie them up with thread, and tie a knot.
Uncle Wang brought back a bucket of soil. Lin Yin added water and mixed the soil just right, then pasted it on the outside of the newspaper.
It's on the fire, ready to be burned.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the mud outside was hot and estimated that it was almost cooked inside, so I dug up the mud outside, cut the rope, and peeled off the newspaper and lotus leaves layer by layer.
The aroma of meat hit his face, and Uncle Wang, who was helping, drooled.
After all, Uncle Wang has been the steward of the Huo family for so many years and has eaten all kinds of delicious food. But now he is so greedy for the beggar's chicken made by Lin Yin.
Peel off the innermost layer of lotus leaves to reveal the delicious meat.
Lin Yin used chopsticks to peel off a large piece of meat and handed it to Huo Yicheng.
“Try it!”
Huo Yicheng looked at the tender meat in front of him, then looked at Lin Yin.
He opened his mouth and bit the meat into his mouth.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Lin Yin looked at him expectantly.
Seeing her look, Huo Yicheng nodded.
"Can."
Lin Yin smiled happily.
Fortunately, Uncle Wang prepared a lot of materials, and Lin Yin burned several of them in one breath.
After confirming that it tasted good, Lin Yin took an unopened one and handed it to Uncle Wang.
"Uncle Wang, try it too."
Uncle Wang was flattered and quickly took it: "Thank you, Miss Lin."
