Lu Mingming skillfully cleaned each pheasant, ensuring that no excess feathers stuck to the skin, so that it wouldn't feel unpleasant to eat.
Perhaps because the cubs are close to their beast-like form, they don't resist the smell of blood; instead, they get excited and restless, crowding around to look curiously at the bloody entrails.
With her mature human mind, Hua Yu quickly gathered the cubs in another area and used the games she remembered to prevent them from causing trouble in the past.
Because beggar's chicken requires lotus leaves and aluminum foil, this causes some headaches for those involved.
There's still some honey left, which we can use as is, but we can't use lotus leaves and aluminum foil. We can only wrap it in banana leaves and then roll it in several layers of hard yellow mud.
Hopefully, the flavor won't change too much.
Lu Mingming prayed inwardly.
The whole chicken was cleaned up, its insides were empty, and the remaining internal organs were cleaned up and packed away.

If no other food can be found in a short period of time, offal can be used to make some dishes to fill the stomach. Of course, Lu Mingming does not expect to ever be able to use it.
Originally, beggar's chicken made with lotus leaves would have an overwhelming lotus fragrance, giving it a refreshing feel of summer, and the chicken meat would be infused with the lotus aroma. However, using banana leaves would have a different effect.
Although both are fragrant and have a refreshing aroma, lotus leaves are not easily broken, while banana leaves are the opposite. In fact, banana leaves and lotus leaves are equally delicious when cooked together.
What a pity there aren't any seasonings, otherwise we could have used these bananas to make a soup...
Lu Mingming looked at the lush banana trees around her, longing for the sweet and soft texture of bananas. She sighed.
"We'll have to wait and see if other teams have any, but the chances are too slim. Who carries a packet of seasoning in their bag for no reason?"
Do you need any seasoning?
Hua Yu teased the cubs while asking them questions.
"Yes, did you bring it?"
"I don't have any, I'm just asking."

Hua Yu shook her head.
The hope that had just risen in Lu Mingming's heart was quickly extinguished.
Hua Yu propped her chin up and pondered: Biquge
“I think my friend brought him; I met him on the road, and he’s in another area now. I can take you there.”
"Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you."
Lu Mingming beamed with joy, and the two of them happily made a decision after discussing the matter.
Cheng Shiqin would always stand by Lu Mingming's side whenever she cooked, and this time he was waiting to ask, "Mingming, what are you going to do with so many banana leaves?"
Lu Mingming was working, coating all the chickens with honey. Afraid the chickens would have a strong fishy smell, she applied many layers.
Lu Mingming picked some fruits and wild vegetables that could be identified by the naked eye and mixed them together to fill the chicken's belly. This removed the fishy smell from the inside and left a strong fruit and vegetable flavor and a sweet honey aroma.
"The way beggar's chicken is unique; banana leaves are used to wrap the chicken meat."

While they were talking, Hua Xia went to fetch a bucket of clean water as instructed by Lu Mingming.
Originally, the chicken was supposed to be wrapped in yellow mud to make beggar's chicken, but in this semi-desolate place, Lu Mingming found yellow mud from somewhere, so he plucked some soil that he thought was closest to yellow mud nearby, mixed it with a little water and stirred it into a sticky and greasy state.
When Lu Mingming pressed down, he could leave a clear and distinct fingerprint, without making it too sticky.
"What are you going to do with all this?"
Cheng Shiqin is like a walking encyclopedia of questions.
But he wasn't the only one who wanted to know; everyone watching with him, including those in the live stream, wanted to know as well.
Lu Mingming always manages to bring them unexpected surprises.
Lu Mingming didn't answer, but gestured for him to come over and help.
Those who had free time came over to help, learning from Lu Mingming's method of wrapping beggar's chicken, slowly wrapping the chicken little by little in banana leaves to make a bright green banana bag.
Just in case, Lu Mingming instructed everyone to wrap the chicken in several layers to prevent it from breaking easily and burning when roasting the beggar's chicken.

"What's next? What's next?"
Cheng Shiqin was eager to try; he couldn't wait to learn how to cook new dishes.
Lu Mingming found the wet mud placed next to her and said with a smile, "Next, you need to wrap these chicken pieces in the wet mud and make sure they are wrapped thickly."
"What?! You're going to wrap it in mud? Won't that get it dirty?"
Cheng Shiqin was greatly puzzled and almost broke his voice.
He dared not move, watching as Lu Mingming happily grabbed a handful of soil and smeared it on the banana leaf, covering the green leaf with layers of dark yellow soil.
Repeat this process until the chicken is completely covered with about a centimeter of mud.
Lu Mingming slapped the soil hard, making it all into an oval shape: "You guys try it, this is the necessary way to make beggar's chicken."
"good…"
Everyone hesitantly agreed and followed Lu Mingming's instructions to coat the banana leaf chicken with layers of mud.
Inside the prepared earthen stove, small oval-shaped pieces of clay-cooked chicken are placed in the center, perfectly receiving the heat from the flames.
Here, take it.
Hua Xia handed over the kindling that had been used to start a fire, while the rest of the kindling was kept to light the camp at night.
