Xia Chujian stroked the teacup dog's furry white head and said to Liushun, "Liushun, where are Awu's tableware? Have you prepared it?"
Liu Shun said, "Master, the bedding and tableware that Liu Shun ordered for Awu and Axuan on Xingwangtongcheng have just arrived."
Xia Chujian was satisfied, "Then put it on the table, let's eat together!"
Soon, a set of plates that were exactly the same as the ones used by Sixi, but half the size, were placed in front of Awu.
Ah Xuan stood on the dining table and placed a set of smaller plates next to Xia Chujian's plate.
It really is a bird feeder's plate.
Xia Chujian was amazed.
There are such small plates for sale!
It's several sizes smaller than the tableware used by children to play house!
Xia Yuanfang, Aunt Chen, Zhu Yingying, Sanzong and Wufu all smiled as they watched Xia Chujian busying himself with a teacup dog and a little fat dog.
After Xia Chujian tore up a crispy pancake and put it on the little fat bird's small plate, and then put a portion of wild rhinoceros pork filling and a piece of phoenix-tailed pheasant meat on the teacup dog's small plate, Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, everyone can eat."
Xia Chujian then wrapped a Yuanbao flower fried egg pancake with a crispy sesame bun and took a light bite.
The crispy sesame cake is salty and crispy at first, and melts in your mouth, which goes perfectly with the fragrant Yuanbao flower fried egg pancake, as if adding a flavor enhancer to the taste of Yuanbao flower.
Xia Chujian enjoyed the delicious meal so much that she couldn't help but wrap another piece of Yuanbao flower fried egg pancake to eat, which only slightly satisfied her craving.
Then she took another crispy pancake, wrapped it with the Yuanbao flower and meat filling and ate it together.
The fresh fragrance of the Yuanbao flower completely neutralizes the strong aroma of meat fat in the wild rhinoceros pork, and the two seem to have undergone some kind of chemical reaction.
Xia Chujian's taste buds were enveloped by endless aromas, and instead of feeling tired, they became even more acute.
As she ate this combination of staple food and vegetables, she felt as if she was in the misty rain of Jiangnan in poetry.
Watching the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, the lotus leaves stretching out in all directions, and the plump fish in the pond swimming among the lotus leaves, turning into fragrant boiled fish...
While eating, Xia Chujian felt amused by his own fantasy.
Then she used a spoon to scoop herself a spoonful of the stewed bird with fragrant fruits and chestnuts.
The soup spoon is quite large, and this spoonful contains soup, meat and chestnuts, and is placed in a soup bowl with a white background and green and pink peach blossoms painted on it, which is specially used for drinking soup.
The soup was crystal clear, without the usual golden, greasy color of chicken soup.
Xia Chujian thought that it was Xia Yuanfang who skimmed off the oil.
She lowered her head and wanted to taste the soup first.
As soon as I approached the soup bowl, the aroma of fragrant chestnuts, mixed with another fragrance I had never smelled before, came to my nose as if it were warm.
It first attacked her sense of smell and even before it entered her mouth, it seemed to have already filled her stomach.
She blew on it gently, then used a small spoon to scoop a mouthful from her soup bowl and sipped it gently.
The soup was at just the right temperature, hot enough to be fresh, but not scalding, just enough to warm her from the outside in.
She found that although Sanzong said this creature was called Fengweiluan Bird, the soup had the unique flavor of chicken soup.
If you taste it carefully, it seems that there is still tender meat juice dissolved in the soup, sliding across the tip of your tongue.
Xia Chujian put down the soup spoon and asked curiously, "What kind of bird is the Phoenix-tailed Luan bird? Why does it taste like premium chicken soup?"
San Zong smiled and said, "Master Shaojun, the phoenix-tailed phoenix is actually a kind of pheasant."
"It's just that its tail feathers are so beautiful, so someone gave it a special name, the Phoenix-tailed Luan Bird."
Xia Chujian laughed and said, "That's right! Isn't 'youniao' the same as 'chicken'?! Whoever came up with this name is really mean!"
As he spoke, Xia Chujian began to eat the phoenix-tailed phoenix bird meat in the soup bowl.
Although Sanzong said that the phoenix-tailed bird was actually a pheasant, when Xia Chujian put the meat into his mouth, he found that no other chicken had such extremely delicious and tender meat.
Although it is extremely tender, it does not melt in your mouth. Instead, it has the gelatinous texture unique to fresh meat and tastes a little bit tough, just like the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" that my aunt once made.
The difference is that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall requires stewing many kinds of seafood and various wild delicacies together.
This dish only requires two ingredients: fragrant chestnuts and phoenix bird.
Aunt Chen also said: "We have eaten phoenix tail luanyou bird before, but none of them were as fresh and fragrant as this one."
"Maybe it's the fragrant chestnuts that doubled the fragrance of the phoenix-tailed luan bird."
Xia Chujian nodded: "The fragrant chestnut and the phoenix-tailed phoenix are both indispensable."
Seeing how much Xia Chujian loved this dish of chestnut and fragrant fruit stewed with phoenix tails, San Zong hurriedly said, "There are three more. Let's cook them all in two days!"
Xia Chujian was stunned. "Aren't you going to save a few to eat during the New Year? Or for breeding?"
San Zong said with a bitter face, "We went to the Forest of Exotic Beasts last week and caught a total of five Phoenix-tailed Luan birds."
"After raising them for so long, they're almost starving to death..."
Xia Chujian was very surprised: "Why? Don't they eat? What do they eat?"
San Zong said, "San Zong observed that they were in the Strange Beast Forest and were eating ordinary grass seeds and possibly some insects."
"Three Manes brought them some food from the Beast Forest."
“But they just won’t eat…”
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "I've never seen such a pheasant that is so steadfast and unyielding. I'll go and see it after I finish eating."
Liu Shun, who had been standing nearby, said, "Master, there's a rumor on the Star Network that this phoenix-tailed phoenix is native to the Great Zang Star of the Eastern Heavenly Kingdom."
