"It's alright! Practice makes perfect!" Rong Sheng immediately instructed Gu Beiyi: "Now, let's start cooking the chicken! The first step is to take out all the seasonings we've prepared, and chop the scallions, ginger, and garlic! Okay, now, pick the scallions, ginger, and garlic, and then cut them into shreds, slices, and sections respectively..."
Gu Beiyi lifted his robe, half-squatted beside the bucket, and took out the cutting board and knife from the basket one by one, arranging them according to Rong Sheng's instructions.
Immediately, I took out the scallions, ginger, and garlic, removed the rotten leaves from the scallions, scraped off the ginger peel, peeled the garlic, washed them, and started chopping...
Qin Er, the bodyguard: "Is this really our cold-blooded, ruthless, and domineering prince? He actually picked up a kitchen knife for a woman, and even showed such a gentle... such a doting expression... What's going on? Has our prince descended to earth?"
"You saw it too? That means I wasn't mistaken. Our prince really did cook for a woman! Our prince's first time was given to a country girl! This... this is too illogical." Qin San scratched his head and said.
Qin Si, the bodyguard: "Miss Rong Sheng is truly amazing! She managed to win over our Prince in such a short time. If the women in the capital knew this, they would be devastated. You know, our Prince has many suitors and supporters, but he is too cold-hearted and indifferent to women. Otherwise, he would have had a large number of wives and concubines and countless children long ago!"
Qin Yi, the bodyguard: "As his subordinates, we should not discuss the prince's affairs. If the prince finds out, you will all be in deep trouble! Alright, everyone disperse, and don't let anyone discover Rong Sheng and the prince's affair!"
Upon hearing Qin Yi's words, all the guards immediately dispersed, but their inner gossip was burning fiercely. While keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings, their darting eyes would occasionally fall on Rong Sheng and Gu Beiyi.
“You’re holding the knife wrong. You’re cutting your hand like that. You should do it like this…” Rong Sheng stepped forward, grabbed Gu Beiyi’s hand, and began to instruct him: “Look, this is how you hold the knife…”
Gu Beiyi saw Rong Sheng's small hand wrapped around his large hand, patiently explaining to him how to cut vegetables, looking just like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
In that instant, he seemed to see the future, and Rong Sheng, after marrying him and having children, would also be just as virtuous.
In an instant, Gu Beiyi's dark eyes flashed with dazzling light, filled with anticipation for the future.
The guards were speechless. "Your Highness, you've broken too many rules tonight. We've suffered too many blows. You should go back to heaven and continue being that unapproachable god!"
"Have you learned it?" Rong Sheng released Gu Beiyi's hand and asked softly, "If you have, why don't you try it yourself? It's okay if it doesn't look good, just cut slowly and don't hurt your hand."
Gu Beiyi: "Then you have to keep your eyes glued to me, or I'll get scared!"
Fear? Would a grown man be afraid of this? Rong Sheng was very skeptical, but since her future husband had said so, if she didn't go along with it, wouldn't it take a long time for feelings to develop?
So Rong Sheng said repeatedly, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on you! I'll keep an eye on you without blinking!"
There wasn't much scallion, ginger, or garlic; it would only fill a small dish, but he spent the entire time chopping it.
A cup of tea takes about ten minutes.
Rong Sheng didn't urge Gu Beiyi to chop. Instead, her dark eyes were fixed on Gu Beiyi, making his chopping movements even slower and more elegant, as if he were creating a work of art.
In particular, Gu Beiyi's hands were fair and slender, making kitchen knives, scallions, ginger, and garlic instantly look high-end in his hands.
Rong Sheng really wanted to... lick it...
Lick it?!
Ahhh!! Rong Sheng was shocked by her own filthy thought.
It's true that handsome men are alluring, but why has she become so lewd? That's not good!
In the corner of his eye, Gu Beiyi caught a glimpse of Rong Sheng's amazed and frustrated expression. A wicked smile played on his lips, making the world seem to lose its color. Rong Sheng's heart pounded uncontrollably.
"System, did you see that? My future husband is so handsome! He's so charming! Oh no, my heart is beating so fast, I'm definitely falling for him!" Rong Sheng said happily to the system.
System: "This person is your future husband, chosen for you based on your soul. If you don't like him, this system will have to be remade!"
"System! You did a good job in this matter!" But other things were just frustrating, especially the medical ethics points...
After chopping the scallions, ginger, and garlic, Rong Sheng said, "Now go wash your hands. After washing your hands, knead some dough and turn the flour into a dough. You should know how to do that, right?"
Gu Beiyi honestly shook his head, "No!"
He's not the real Gu Sanniu, so why would he do this kind of work?
"Can't do it? You've never lifted a finger before, have you? You can't do anything!"
"So Rong Sheng, can you teach me?" Gu Beiyi looked at Rong Sheng expectantly.
Rong Sheng's brain went blank for a moment.
A handsome guy acting cute?! Who the hell could resist that?!
So, Rong Sheng agreed to Gu Beiyi's request without any reservations, "Kneading dough is a skill, but we're not kneading dough to make steamed buns or pancakes! So kneading dough is very simple, just add water and a little bit of alcohol to the flour!"
If we had cooking wine, we would have added it, but unfortunately we didn't!
However, the flavor of baijiu is strong, so it should not be added in large quantities, otherwise it will change the taste of the chicken.
The kneaded dough is used to replace the mud.
Originally, Rong Sheng wanted to use the mud from the ground, but after looking at it, she realized that the mud wasn't sticky enough and that the chicken would explode before it was fully cooked, ruining the chicken.
It's ruined. Her future husband will continue to go hungry, and a big rooster will have been wasted.
After preparing the dough, set it aside for the time being, and then have Gu Beiyi kill the animal, remove its fur, and wash it clean.
After washing, add salt, sugar, cooking wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, scallions, ginger, cloves, and star anise powder in that order and marinate for half an hour.
"Why marinate for half an hour? I'm starving!" Gu Beiyi looked at Rong Sheng expectantly, hoping that Rong Sheng wouldn't marinate for so long, because he was really hungry.
"Because it's flavorful!" Rong Sheng looked at Gu Beiyi with amusement. "If it's not flavorful, the chicken won't taste good! I know you're hungry, but you have to... bear with it!" There's no other way! Good food always takes time to arrive!
Gu Beiyi: "..."
Although it would take half an hour, Rong Sheng did not let Gu Beiyi be idle during this time. Instead, she asked him to stir-fry shrimp, diced meat, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots into a filling, which would be stuffed into the chicken's cavity later, and then wrapped in caul fat.
When the time is up, blanch the grass leaves, then wrap them around the marinated chicken. Finally, roll out the dough and wrap the grass-fed chicken completely, leaving no gaps.
After wrapping, place the grass-fed chicken in the fire and roast it slowly over a low flame.
It needs to be roasted for about an hour so that the aroma of the grass leaves can penetrate into the chicken, making it taste sweeter.
