Chapter 12 Kiln-roasted chicken is so delicious
Lin Jinxiu was reborn and returned. As soon as she came back, she helped her parents get rich. With the right timing, location and people, her business was booming and she made a fortune. The second branch of the Lin family became a wealthy household in Linjia Village and bought fertile land and houses.
To win over Lin Zhiyuan, Lin Jinxiu leased his fertile land to him at a low price. With this intermediary, Lin Zhiyuan was happy to help Lin Jinxiu expand the roads, and the whole village benefited from Lin Jinxiu's success.
With this in mind, when the government announced and implemented mandatory conscription, the lackey Lin Zhiyuan naturally had to serve Lin Jinxiu, and Lin Dan became the sacrifice, going to the battlefield in place of Lin Jinxiu's elder brother Lin Jin.
Lin Zheng and Lin Dan were forcibly taken away, and the eldest branch of the Lin family only realized it belatedly. Li Xiujuan immediately made a scene at Lin Zhiyuan's house and even threatened to report it to the authorities. Lin Zhiyuan's wife was so frightened that she immediately let slip the secret.
Li Xiujuan didn't believe it, and her family made a scene at the second branch of the Lin family. After returning, she cut off all ties with the second branch of the Lin family. Not long after, the family moved north.
No wonder the Lin family and the people of Linjia Village have such a strained relationship. Knowing that fleeing famine requires a large and powerful force to maintain order, they would rather stay with their in-laws than pay any attention to them.
Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Jinxiu are the perpetrators, but the people of Linjia Village are not innocent either. Out of gratitude to Lin Jinxiu, even though they knew about the rumors, not one of them passed the message to the Lin family's eldest branch. In the end, when it comes to interests, personal feelings are worthless.
Whether you call it taking her anger out on them or it's just collateral damage, what the Lin family owes them, they have to pay back.
Originally, Lin Zhaozhao was planning to return the free meat and grain the next day, since making too many enemies would not help her escape the famine. But now she thought that not only would she not return them, she would also eat them in front of them.
After greeting Lin Yangyang, she immediately came over. The two sisters whispered to each other for a moment, and Lin Yangyang quickly took out a kitchen knife and slaughtered the chickens and ducks that the people from Linjia Village had brought.
After gutting and cleaning everything, we started making the kiln-roasted chicken.
Making kiln-roasted chicken is very simple. First, pile up stones and roast it over a high fire. Then, put in the prepared ingredients, cover it, and let it simmer for an hour using the residual heat.
There was a lot of preparation work to be done, and seeing that Lin Yangyang couldn't handle it all by herself, Lin Zhaozhao called over the Li Yunhai and Li Yunzhou brothers. Soon after, Li Yunyun and Li Junsheng, who didn't get along with her, also arrived. They worked harder and harder, occasionally glaring at the people from Linjia Village.
While waiting, Lin Zhaozhao started grilling meat on the stone slab. The stone slab was heated over a high flame, and the meat sizzled and crackled, the aroma wafting continuously. Not only did Lin Yangyang and the others drool, but Grandma Li and Grandma Lin's eyes also lit up, not to mention the villagers of Linjia Village who could only look but not eat.
"Damn it, this smells so good, it's like a soft knife, it hurts you all over."
"That little brat Lin Zhaozhao is pretty reckless. She's all talk and no action, isn't she afraid of attracting unwanted attention?"
"Why do you care about her? If something happens, it's her own fault, dragging the whole family down with her... Ha."
"I can't stand this fragrance anymore."
"His drool was almost soaking his clothes."
"Isn't this deliberately torturing people?"
"You shameless hussy, you're so ostentatious, you'll be wiped out in no time."
Amidst the surrounding chatter, Lin Zhaozhao pretended not to hear. Under the cover of darkness, she took out some lettuce, dipped the fried meat in chili powder and added garlic, and fed the first bite to Li Xiujuan.
Li Xiujuan initially refused, but only pushed him for a moment.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. With a wave of her hand, Lin Zhaozhao's siblings immediately dug out all the food that had been thrown in.
Lin Zhaozhao used the method of beggar's chicken, with the outer layer covered in mud and the inside wrapped in lotus leaves. With a tap of a stick, the lotus leaves were peeled open to reveal the kiln-roasted chicken inside. When the wind blew, the aroma of meat, sweet potatoes, and corn filled the air.
