"You little brat, is it possible that you're just too weak?"
Upon hearing this, his friend immediately stood up, eager to try it out.
He wasn't interested in the mud ball at first, but seeing how pathetic his brother was, he suddenly became interested and wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Get out of the way, let me handle this, I'll show you what a strong man is!"
Xiao Xian's beggar's chicken was snatched away.
The man tried his best, but couldn't break the mud.
Now Xiao Xian wasn't upset anymore, and burst out laughing, her laughter brimming with sarcasm.
The man's face turned bright red.
Then another friend stood up.
Men's strange competitive nature was on full display at this moment.
It's very impressive that he did something that even his close friends couldn't.
There's even a sense of satisfaction in successfully showing off.
Especially in front of your brothers, you have to show off even more.
If you successfully show off, it would be even more satisfying to then use a mocking tone to call the other person "trash" or make them call you "daddy."
Then the third man stepped onto the stage.
The second man, feeling ashamed, walked up to Xiao Xian and stood there indignantly.
“We’ve already slammed this mud twice, and it’s cracked. If you try to slam it now, you’re just standing on our shoulders. It’s an unfair victory, you know?”
The second man retorted defiantly.
Xiao Xian nodded in agreement.
"Let me tell you, you have to take it easy. The two of us have already smashed it, and if you still can't break it, then you're even worse than us. So are you sure you want to keep smashing it? I think we should just give it a couple more tries, and that should break it."
That makes sense.
But the third man didn't care, ignored their voices, and directly gathered his strength and smashed it.
The muddy shell of the beggar's chicken shattered completely from the impact.
The broken soil fell all over the ground.
The man smiled smugly.
"Ha, two little trash."
At this moment, Xiao Xian also broke down.
"We were the ones who smashed it first before you were able to smash it open in one go! What nonsense are you spouting? If you don't like it, I'll buy you a new beggar's chicken to smash and see if you can smash it open in one go!"
"Exactly! Lin Yi, you're so shameless!"
Lin Yi remained silent, his attention already drawn to the beggar's chicken in his hand.
As Xiao Xian walked along, the outdoor temperature was so cold, but the beggar's chicken in the mud was still piping hot.
As soon as the mud is broken open, the heat and the aroma of the soil fill the air.
"Stop arguing, this smell is weird!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, everyone came to their senses and noticed the fragrance in the air.
The two beggar's chickens were smashed open at the same time, and the aroma quickly spread throughout the room. The smell attracted everyone's attention in just a few seconds.
Xiao Xian noticed it too, and her eyes lit up.
"Yes, that's the smell. I smelled it as I passed by, so I immediately ran over to join the queue."
"How is it? It smells good, doesn't it!"
Xiao Xian couldn't wait to take the plates out of the kitchen. The host's house was as familiar to them as their own home.
The rich aroma of chicken kept everyone from thinking about anything else.
Now I just want to taste this beggar's chicken.
"Don't rush. First, clean up the mud, then throw away the outer layer of pig caul fat. Wrap the rest in lotus leaves and put it on a plate. It's hygienic and clean. I saw that's how the boss handled it."
Xiao Xian had seen how Lin Zhou handled things while she was queuing, and she followed suit and cleaned up the beggar's chicken.
The people at the table were very considerate; they immediately cleared away the space in the middle of the turntable to make room for the beggar's chicken.
The beggar's chicken that appeared at this moment completely overshadowed the braised dishes, cold dishes, and stir-fries on the table.
Under the light, the chicken skin is golden yellow with an oily sheen and is very firm against the meat.
A rich, savory aroma of chicken soup, infused with the fragrance of lotus leaves and wine, filled the air.
As soon as the beggar's chicken was served, six pairs of chopsticks were already poking at the chicken's body.
Everyone has their own favorite body part.
Some were poked into the chicken leg, some into the chicken breast, and others into the chicken wing.
The moment their chopsticks clashed, everyone looked at each other with sparks flying.
A chicken only has two legs.
With six people present, you can imagine how fierce the competition was.
They're like brothers; they understand each other too well.
This is no longer the time for arguing or condemning.
Whoever grabs it first gets to eat.
If you hesitate for even a second, the next second when you look at the beggar's chicken, all that's left is probably the chicken carcass.
Equal speed.
We all enjoyed beggar's chicken together.
The next second, the room was as quiet as a chicken's nest.
The group of grown men looked at each other.
Their eyes revealed shock.
"No, is it really that delicious?"
I've never eaten such tender chicken before.
This chicken is not only tender, but also has a very soft and juicy texture.
It's the kind of food that's been roasted in mud for a long time until the bones are soft and mushy.
As soon as a few chopsticks pierced the chicken, the whole chicken, which had been intact just moments before, was instantly torn to pieces.
The key issue is that no one was putting in any effort at all.
Then comes chewing in large bites.
The tender chicken instantly melts in your mouth, its juices bursting and flowing between your lips and teeth.
The tender and juicy chicken is like drinking a big mouthful of rich chicken soup, a true baptism for the taste buds.
"It's really delicious! I've never had such tender chicken before!"
"Who isn't? The last time I had chicken, it was awful."
"Judging from the condition of the chicken, the juices just ooze out as soon as you pull it apart. You can tell it's incredibly tender even before you taste it, and once you put it in your mouth, it's exactly as you expect!"
"Xiao Xian, where did you buy it?"
Six people killed a chicken in one minute.
Then, before setting their chopsticks on the next chicken, they chatted briefly.
"Right at the entrance of the Ice and Snow World, there's a guy selling them on the roadside."
"Speaking of which, this guy has really worked hard. His voice is young and pleasant, to the point that even I, a grown man, find it pleasant. But I guess he sells beggar's chicken on the roadside every day, his face is so blackened by the smoke that you can't even see his features, and his hair is all messy. Anyway, he looks quite old."
Upon hearing Xiao Xian's words, everyone had already conjured up an image in their minds of an old man working hard at a roadside stall.
"This tastes really good. I'll go check again tomorrow. If they still have it, I'll support the old man's business."
Just from this description, everyone has already pictured an old man in their minds.
"I think it's the older brother; the voice doesn't sound like that of an older man."
Xiao Xian simply couldn't imagine that deep, charming male voice as that of an old man.
"Alright, alright, you can say whatever you want, but can you leave me a bite of meat? I only got two bites!"
Xiao Xian ate only two bites of the two chickens.
The chicken is gone!
The aroma of beggar's chicken still lingered in my mouth, and my appetite was just beginning to whet my appetite when I looked down and saw that all that was left of the chicken was its skeleton.
